Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Mom, Was It You Who Told Xiansui to Say Those Words?
After greeting the important guests, Lin Teng headed straight for the second floor with a stern face.
He pushed open the door to the VIP lounge, where Su Yi, Old Madam Lin, Lin Wei, Shen Siyuan, and a few relatives from the Lin Family were gathered.
Everyone was chatting merrily.
From time to time, laughter erupted, and it was obvious that Old Madam Lin was amused.
The sight pained Lin Teng’s eyes as if they were pierced by needles, and the stone weighing on his chest suddenly seemed to sink a few inches.
It was Su Yi who first noticed his entrance and turned to approach him, "Husband, why have you come up here?"
Lin Teng’s face was icy as he walked further inside without speaking.
Sensing something was amiss, Su Yi asked puzzlingly, "What’s wrong? Didn’t you just go to meet Zhiya? Is she downstairs?"
Lin Teng, for the first time, ignored her and walked straight into the crowd, headed for Old Madam Lin, his voice low and hoarse, "Mom, why did you have Xiansui come over and say those things earlier?"
"It’s none of your business how I speak to your mother. I think you’re getting too big for your britches. Are you sick of living?!" Lin Wei was the first to lose his temper.
Lin Teng didn’t even glance at him, his gaze fixed on the kindly Old Madam Lin.
Old Madam Lin was startled by his sudden questioning and responded cluelessly, "What happened?"
"Zhiya left!"
At those words from Lin Teng.
The VIP room fell silent; the relatives of the Lin Family, aware of Zhiya’s past falling out with the family, found it awkward to interject on such a delicate matter and stood there uncomfortably.
Lin Wei was momentarily stunned, for once not immediately lashing out in anger.
Lin Teng continued to address Old Madam Lin, "I originally wanted to keep Duidui here, but Duidui refused. He said he didn’t like the people who disliked his mother, and he didn’t like them either!"
Even a five-year-old child could see that the Lin Family had gone too far this time. Didn’t these adults in their fifties know how much they had crossed the line?!
With anger weighing on his heart, Lin Teng’s tone was especially harsh, "Zhiya made a rare concession, hoping you all would accept Rong Yan. Even if you disagreed again, out of respect for Zhiya, you should have given Rong Yan a chance. Moreover, it’s their business who they choose to be with, not ours. Shengxiao is not looking for a wife for us. We can provide advice, but we shouldn’t force them. Do you think Shengxiao and Zhiya are the kind of people to be coerced by threats and force? You should know very well the consequences of pushing people too far. We made a mistake once ten years ago. Must we repeat that mistake, driving people even further away before we can rest easy?"
Lin Wei had always had the final say at home and outside; no one ever questioned him.
Even when faced with his own son, upon hearing Lin Teng’s words, his face turned grim as he firmly said, "Are you suggesting that we should accept that scandal-ridden woman?"
"Rong Yan is not the kind of person that the rumors make her out to be. You’ve already investigated what kind of person she is. The reason it’s so nasty outside is because the Rong Family deliberately slandered her in front of the media. She hasn’t done anything to wrong others!"
Lin Wei had indeed investigated Rong Yan.
The moment he learned that his most esteemed grandson had fallen for an obscure female celebrity, he had her background thoroughly checked.
He was aware that many rumors, such as those concerning Rong Yan’s disordered private life, were deliberately spread.
Even so, it was a fact that Rong Yan had a bad reputation.
