818 A Million Times For You 180 (1/2)

”No wonder Mr. Gu is so anxious. But…” Lin Mingyuan's smile faded. ”I didn't know about her pregnancy.”

”If they have a son…” Gu Dongcheng did not continue his sentence. Despite so, Lin Mingyuan knew exactly what he meant.

”If they have a son, it seems it would impact you more. After all, Gu Beicheng is now above you. If they have a son, even if he dies, everything he has will be left to the child. You won't even stand a chance. But for me, it's different. I just want Lin Mingxi alone to suffer. Isn't it so?”

”What… do you mean by this?”

Lin Mingyuan chuckled. ”Nothing much. It just means that our cooperation mainly counts on your effort. Whether it's harsh enough depends on the master you find. I'll head home now.”

She got up abruptly, turned, and left the café.

On the way back, Lin Mingyuan was pondering over how she should face her parents.

Ever since she fell out with them, she had not stepped into the Lin residence even once. Her parents had not gone to find her either.

It was thus evident that their falling out had truly soured the relationship between her and her parents.

Going back this time was also simply not out of her own will.

After she drove her car past the front gate of the Lin residence, Lin Mingyuan got down and entered the house.

Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Lin Mingxi were in the midst of chatting, and her sudden arrival put them in shock.

As a career woman in the business field, dealing with all sorts of situations was Lin Mingyuan's strength.

Even after having a falling out with her parents for so long, she was still able to put on a calm and innocent smile, proving her top-notch acting skills as well.

”Father, Mother, I'm back.”

The couple exchanged glances and Mrs. Lin remarked in a grumpy tone, ”What are you back for? I thought you weren't ever coming back?”

”I've thought it through.” Lin Mingyuan went forward sincerely. ”The two of you are my biological parents. How can I never come back? It was all my fault. Father, Mother, please forgive me. And Mingxi too, it was all Sis's fault. Father and Mother only have us two daughters. If we fall out, it'll only make them worried and upset.”

Her words struck a spot in her parents' hearts, and Mrs. Lin's eyes reddened as she said to Lin Mingxi, ”Since your sister has already said this, you should let it go as well. You sisters living in harmony is what Father and Mother wish to see.”

When things take a wrong turn, something strange must be going on. This was a saying that Lin Mingxi had thought of at this moment.

If she had not grown up with her sister and developed a crystal-clear understanding of her character, she would have believed such nonsense from Lin Mingyuan along with her parents.

Putting on an act like this?

Who couldn't do that?

”Wow, this doesn't sound like something Sister would say. Did you get possessed by some spirit?” Seeing her parents' faces stiffen, Lin Mingxi grinned as she went on, ”To be able to see this side of my sister, I'm really relieved. After all, Sister has never allowed me to have better results than you when we were young. This habit of not wanting to lose has been developed since childhood. To see you being able to change this habit is really something I've never expected.”

”It was all Sister's fault. Mingxi, Sis will apologize to you. No matter what, we're biological sisters with blood relations. We should help each other out so that we won't be bullied by outsiders.”

”Correct, correct. Your sister's right.” Mrs. Lin was absolutely overjoyed. Ever since she had fallen out with her elder daughter, it had become a huge concern in her heart.

Lin Mingxi remarked with a faint smile, ”How could that possibly happen? I haven't really had outsiders bully me. As for this biological sister of mine, though, she's never merciful when she bullies me. I've grown used to it already. After getting married and growing past the age of thirty, I've already straightened out my thinking. But, Father, Mother, there's something I must make clear to you both. Currently, the only people who know the specific details of my birth are the two of you. If Father and Mother don't want your daughter to die, the two of you should probably keep this to yourselves forever. Take it as a request from your daughter.”

Logically speaking, she and Lin Mingyuan were biological sisters and they should have been well aware of each other's birth characters. But, in reality, this wasn't the case.
