183: Chapter 183: Regret of Lin Family_1 183: Chapter 183: Regret of Lin Family_1 Upon learning that Su Chengyu had seen through the trap they had set for him that day, the Lin Family beca terribly anxious, already on the edge of flight.
They sent people to the Villa No.1 to gather information but ca back with nothing concrete.
Finally, Lin Zhengxun could no longer suppress his fears and felt obligated to personally visit Hong Zhen Ting.
Hong Zhen Ting did et with Lin Zhengxun.
After seeing that Hong Zhen Ting was injured but not dead, Lin Zhengxun breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hong Ye, is Su Chengyu dead?” Lin Zhengxun asked.
“He’s very much alive and has reconciled with .
We have agreed to live and let live from now on.” Hong Zhen Ting responded in a dismissive tone.
“Hong Ye, we, the Lin Family, have completely offended Su Chengyu for your sake.
From now on, you have to protect us; otherwise, Su Chengyu will surely retaliate.”
In retrospect, Lin Zhengxun regretted his decision, but he had no choice but to cling to Hong Zhen Ting for support.
However, Hong Zhen Ting let out a scornful laugh and asked, “What do I have to do with Su Chengyu’s retaliation against you?”
“Hong Ye, you can’t say that.
After all, it was for your sake that we offended him.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengxun felt utterly disheartened.
“Wasn’t it Su Chengyu this ti around who ca to my doorstep?
How am I to know if you did not intentionally collude with him?
The fact that I’ve not held you accountable is already lenient on my part.”
Now, the Lin Family had completely lost its value in the eyes of Hong Zhen Ting.
How could he possibly continue protecting them?
“Hong Ye, please understand my dilemma.
I would never dare to betray you!
The Lin Family stands loyally by you.
Hong Ye, please don’t abandon us.
If you do agree to take care of the Lin Family, from now on, we will be at your beck and call.”
Both Lin Zhengxun and Lin Zhiyuan fell to their knees in front of Hong Zhen Ting.
Looking at them coldly, Hong Zhen Ting said, “You betrayed Su Chengyu who saved your life.
How am I supposed to trust you?
To be honest, I despise people like you who go back on their words.
Get out!”
With those words, Hong Zhen Ting left, leaving behind a desperate Lin Zhengxun and Lin Zhiyuan filled with regret.
After being driven out of Villa No.1, Lin Zhengxun seed to have aged a decade.
If it was not for Lin Zhiyuan supporting him, he would not have been able to walk.
“Zhiyuan, I’m afraid it’s the end for our family!
I never thought that my attempts to be wise would end like this.
That bastard, Hong Zhen Ting, I should have never let him intimidate in the first place!”
Lin Zhengxun was full of regret and felt so miserable that he couldn’t even muster the strength to cry.
“Dad, you can’t bla yourself!
Given our circumstances back then, there was no other option.” Lin Zhiyuan tried to console him.
However, Lin Zhengxun just shook his head and said: “No!
I made the wrong choice.
If we had firmly chosen to support Su Chengyu from the beginning, we wouldn’t be in such a predicant now!
Hong Zhen Ting is ruthless and heartless, while Su Chengyu is not.
I can tell that, despite his youth, Su Chengyu is a man who matches kindness with kindness.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan couldn’t help but sigh with regret.
The Lin Family had missed a significant opportunity, and now, facing Su Chengyu’s upcoming revenge, they were panic-stricken, unsure of what to do next.
When the father and son returned ho, Lin Zhihua quickly asked, “Dad, how did it go?”
Lin Zhengxun remained silent, his face extrely grave.
Lin Zhiyuan’s wife, Tong Lidan, exclaid, “Did Hong Ye die?”
“It’s over, it’s over!
Even Hong Ye was taken out by Su Chengyu.
It’s our turn next.
What are we waiting for?
Let’s pack up and run!”
Lin Zhihua’s face turned pale, and he exclaid in a panic.
It was then that Lin Zhiyuan inford them, “Hong Zhen Ting is not dead.”
“Not dead?
So, why do you look so upset?
You gave a fright!
At least Hong Ye is alive; he should protect us.” Lin Zhihua sighed in relief.
“If Hong Ye is alive, does it an Su Chengyu is dead?” Lin Zhirou asked.
Lin Chuxue and Lin Huanfeng couldn’t help but tense up.
At this stage, amongst all the mbers of the Lin Family, it was perhaps only these two siblings who still cared about Su Chengyu’s fate.
“Su Chengyu is also not dead; he and Hong Zhen Ting have reconciled.
Hong Zhen Ting said he would not intervene with the grudge between Su Chengyu and our family.
He asked us to fend for ourselves.” Lin Zhiyuan sighed.
“What?!
How could this be?” Lin Zhihua exclaid.
“Big brother, are you sure?
We offended Su Chengyu for him; there’s no way Hong Ye would abandon us.” Lin Zhirou also chid in anxiously.
“I wish I was wrong too.
If you don’t believe , you can go and assert yourself with Hong Zhen Ting!”
Lin Zhiyuan plopped down onto a chair, looking dejected.
“What should we do now?
If Hong Zhen Ting doesn’t help and Su Chengyu is set on revenge, what will happen to us?”
The mbers of the Lin Family were in utter chaos, filled with fear and anxiety, and began to squabble amongst themselves.
Lin Chu Yin complained, “We shouldn’t have agreed to side with Hong Zhen Ting against Su Chengyu.
He has been kind to our family, and we repaid his kindness with hostility.
Now, Su Chengyu is alive, Hong Zhen Ting washes his hands off us, aren’t we just waiting for our impending doom?”
“That’s enough!
Everyone, shut up!”
Lin Zhengxun slamd the table, raising his voice in anger.
“I’m not dead yet; what are you panicking about?
If anyone has to die, it will be before you!”
Once Lin Zhengxun exploded in anger, everyone fell silent, but their faces were still filled with fear and panic.
“Dad, what should we do next?” Lin Zhihua asked timidly.
“Everyone is going with to Su Chengyu’s house to apologize.
Even if it ans kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, we have to beg for his forgiveness.
Otherwise, none of us will have a good life!”
With no other option, Lin Zhengxun resorted to this strategy, to try the most crude and humble way.
“Will this work?
Mr.
Su isn’t exactly soone with a good temper.
What if he doesn’t forgive us?
Are we simply walking into a trap?”
So younger mbers of the Lin Family, who had witnessed Su Chengyu beating up Tang Jin and his son at the longevity banquet, were filled with fear for him.
“Yes!
How can we be absolved for this?
Isn’t it better to pack our stuff and leave Lin Jiang quickly?”
The mbers of the Lin Family were again engulfed in chaos, with Lin Zhengxun booming, “Quiet!
Whoever doesn’t want to go can leave the Lin Family.”
The room fell silent.
Lin Zhengxun then turned his gaze towards Lin Chuxue and Lin Huanfeng.
“Chu Xue, Huan Feng, you two have the best relationship with Su Chengyu out of all of us.
This ti, when we go to apologize, we’ll have to rely on you two.”
“I’m not going!”
Without a second thought, Lin Chuxue refused outright.
Lin Huanfeng also shook his head, saying, “I’m too ashad as well.
We repaid his kindness with enmity and plotted against Brother Yu.
Now that our sche has failed, we want to beg shalessly for his forgiveness.
That’s too audacious!”
Like Lin Huanfeng, Lin Chuxue also disapproved of the Lin Family’s unprincipled behavior and intended to distance herself from the situation.
“Even if you don’t want to go, you’ll have to go!
This is an order.
You’re part of the Lin Family.
The Lin Family nurtured you.
Are you going to watch our family fall apart?”
As he spoke, Lin Zhengxun gave Lin Zhiyuan and his wife a pointed look.
Just as Lin Zhiyuan was about to speak, Lin Chuxue stood up in anger, saying, “I’ve said I won’t go, and I an it!
I have no relationship with Su Chengyu, and even if we did, I wouldn’t dare to ask for his forgiveness.
The Lin Family brought this upon themselves, so even if it collapses, it has no one to bla but itself.”
With that, Lin Chuxue walked straight out the door.
Lin Zhengxun shouted, “You stay right where you are!”
But she ignored him.
She hopped into her car and drove away from the Lin Villa.
