It’s all over.
Luo Buzhuo and the others regretted it immensely. Hadn't they just walked right into it?
Madam Hua quickly spoke up from over there, "Director Liu, this is, after all, the Luo Group. They are my sons. This matter is ultimately a family affair... Why don't we resolve it ourselves?"
"Old Madam, what you're saying is quite inappropriate." Lin Xiao spoke up at this moment, "Originally, I considered this a family matter. Taking the Old Master and yourself into account, I thought I’d give them a chance, as they are my wife's uncle and aunt. But you heard him just now; he was preparing to call the police to arrest me. Is that still considered a family matter? And now you're silent?"
"This… but you're not in trouble…"
The old lady’s eyes darted away.
"Alright, then Old Madam, I'll ask you another question." Lin Xiao, hearing her words, seemed to be amused to the point of anger. He said, "Did you ever consider that if something happened to me, Qinghan would lose her husband, Xun'er would lose her father, and my parents-in-law would lose their son-in-law? Have you not considered Xun'er's upbringing? Or, in your eyes, are all of us here, aside from them, not considered family?"
"You wouldn't even consider Grandpa's feelings, would you?"
"Mom."
Luo Buyu also furrowed his brows and spoke at this point.
He didn't believe Madam Hua knew nothing about this group's attempt to pressure them. If she knew and didn't stop them, even letting them call the police, it meant that from the beginning, the old lady hadn't considered these matters.
"Is your so-called family matter only what you consider a family matter?" Luo Buyu asked.
The old lady averted her gaze and remained silent.
However, her attitude had clearly responded.
Luo Buyu's family was indeed not considered family by her.
Li Xin pulled her husband’s arm and lowered her voice, "Don't you know what she's like? What's there to ask?"
"...Alas."
Their voices were not loud, but they were just loud enough for the old lady to hear.
"Director Liu, please, take them away." Lin Xiao said to Director Liu, who was standing nearby.
"Understood, Mr. Lin."
After Director Liu took them away, the old lady stared intensely at Lin Xiao.
Her body trembled. She pointed at Lin Xiao and said, "You… you are so heartless!"
Her words were gritted out, as if she wished she could skin Lin Xiao alive.
"I'm heartless?"
Lin Xiao stood up coldly, handed Xun'er to Luo Qinghan to look after, and walked to the old lady's front. "I saved the Old Master, and I cured my father-in-law's legs. I was also the one who recovered tens of millions from the Luo family’s business that was embezzled. You tell me, am I heartless?"
"Then Old Madam, for all these years, you turned a blind eye. You didn't even care about your own husband, about Grandpa's life or death. Are you not heartless?"
"Or perhaps, back then, when these people secretly arranged a car accident that crippled my father-in-law’s legs so he could never walk again and would be confined to a wheelchair for life, and you remained silent, pretending you saw nothing, that wasn't heartless?"
Luo Buyu's face changed drastically. He stared intently at Madam Hua, "Back then… they arranged it?!"
He felt a surge of blood rush to his head.
"You… don't talk nonsense!"
