This had been discussed by Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi during their travels.

They agreed at the time that if their grades were good, they would go to Jingcheng together!

They wanted to experience the deep cultural heritage of Huaxia.

As soon as Lin Feng mentioned this.

Uh...

Zhou Cuilan suddenly paused while eating fruit.

And Lin Dashan also fell silent suddenly.

Lin Feng found their expressions somewhat strange, feeling puzzled.

"Dad, Mom? What’s wrong?"

Lin Feng asked softly.

Zhou Cuilan came to her senses, glanced at Lin Feng evasively, and spoke.

"Hehe, silly child, it’s nothing."

"I’m just going to the bathroom, you guys keep talking."

After speaking, Zhou Cuilan stood up and left.

Meanwhile, Lin Dashan let out a sigh.

What was to come had come after all...

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were a bit confused.

What was going on???

It seemed like he hadn’t said anything, right?

Just mentioned going to Jingcheng...

So Lin Feng looked at Lin Dashan and asked, puzzled.

"Dad, what’s the matter? What’s going on?"

"Sigh..."

He looked at Lin Feng with a complex expression, then sighed again.

"Dad, stop sighing and tell me, what’s going on?"

Lin Feng asked anxiously, feeling his dad was driving him crazy!

Lin Dashan looked toward the bathroom, then at Lin Feng.

Finally, he decided to tell Lin Feng about something he had kept in his heart for nearly twenty years!

He looked at Lin Feng and spoke softly.

"It’s a bit complicated, starting with your mother’s family..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng went "Oh".

It seemed like his parents had never mentioned his maternal grandparents.

In his previous life, it was the same; until his parents passed away and he died in a car accident, he had never heard of his mother’s family...

And today, at his engagement, only his dad’s relatives were there.

None from his mom’s side, and they had never mentioned them.

Growing up, he was used to it, and had overlooked this.

Now it seemed there were some undisclosed secrets...

He then exchanged a look with Zhang Yuxi, both filled with confusion.

Then Lin Dashan said. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Your mother’s family is in Jingcheng..."

"Back then, your mom insisted on marrying your dad, but your grandfather disapproved. Yet your mom secretly took the household registration and got married to your dad!"

"When your grandfather found out, he was furious and severed ties with your mom!"

"He even ordered your uncle and others not to associate with your mom! If caught, he would sever ties with them too."

"That’s how your mom followed me back home, and we eventually settled in Modu..."

"Your mom loved the warmth of Modu, so we finally settled here as a family!"

"Looking back, it’s also my fault for not being competent enough, which led to your grandfather looking down on me. Although I managed to run a small advertising company through hard work, it hasn’t progressed over the years."

"So it’s my fault your mom suffered..."

At this moment, Zhou Cuilan came out from the bathroom.

She looked angrily at Lin Dashan and said.

"Old Lin, what nonsense are you talking about?! I haven’t suffered over these years!"

"Uh..."

"Honey, it’s my fault, I let you down..."

Lin Dashan said to Zhou Cuilan.

Zhou Cuilan walked over and spoke to Lin Dashan.

"Old Lin, if you keep talking like this, I will really be angry!"

"I know how well you’ve treated me over the years, you’ve done great, I haven’t suffered."

"As for them, just let them be. Our family is doing well now."

"We’re not lacking money, Lin Feng is engaged to Yuxi, and our days will get better and better!"

Zhou Cuilan spoke as she looked at everyone.

Lin Feng held Zhang Yuxi’s hand and spoke softly to his dad Lin Dashan.

"Dad, Mom is right, our days will get better, and when I’m capable, I’ll handle Mom’s family!"

"They treated Mom and our family this way, no matter who it is, I’ll eventually make them pay!"

Seeing Lin Feng seemingly upset.

Afraid Lin Feng might do something rash, Zhou Cuilan quickly spoke!

"Son, don’t be impulsive!"

"Things aren’t as serious as your dad says!"

"Actually, I’ve kept in touch with your uncle over the years..."

"Hmm??"

"How come I didn’t know about this?!"

Lin Dashan asked, somewhat shocked.

Zhou Cuilan shot him a glance and responded irritably.

"Would I dare tell you with your stubborn self-esteem? If I had, what would you do? You have no idea?"

"Uh...

Lin Dashan felt awkward and was somewhat at a loss for words.

Zhou Cuilan continued.

"Actually, when we came to Modu, your uncle secretly gave me some of his hidden stash of money."

"What?"

"So, my startup money came from that stash??"

Lin Dashan said reluctantly.

Zhou Cuilan shot him another look and replied irritably.

"Of course, back then, my accounts were frozen by the old man, where would I have money?"

"Initially, I didn’t plan to accept it, but seeing that you were determined to start a business and prove yourself, I took it."

"Uh..."

Lin Dashan felt even more embarrassed; so that’s how it was...

When Zhou Cuilan gave the money to him, Lin Dashan thought it was just money she had saved up over the years, nothing more.

But as it turned out...

Seeing his dad so utterly clueless, Lin Feng couldn’t help but lament; his dad had always been unreliable!

Immediately after, Zhou Cuilan continued.

"It’s not just that one time."

"Old Lin, do you remember when Lin Feng was born?"

"Back then, your advertising company was poorly managed, funds were tight, and we almost couldn’t afford my hospital delivery fees."

"That time, I said a colleague loaned us twenty thousand dollars, do you remember?"

"That money was my mom, your grandmother, found out about our situation and discreetly arranged it!"

"Uh..."

And so there was that...

Lin Dashan felt regretful internally for not knowing anything.
