Chapter 739: Chapter 739

When she first found out, she only felt humiliated, she didn’t want this child at all, but now, this child was her greatest concern. Without him, she even felt that life wouldn’t be worth living.

Yun Ya thought for a moment, "You’ve thought this through very well. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll arrange for you to go overseas, you’ll give birth to the child in a sanatorium abroad, and after a couple of years when things have stabilized, you can come back. You don’t need to worry about anything here; I’ll keep your spot for you, and you can settle scores when you return." Yun Ya had essentially given her a promise.

Lin Sili was very grateful to Yun Ya for helping her this way and had no doubt about Yun Ya’s capabilities; if she said it could be done, it could be done.

"Let me think about it some more."

After a pause, she added, "That cheap brother of mine is really strange, not quite what I had imagined." She recounted the interactions between them and finally said, "Do you think he could be a pretty-boy trap set by Pan Yu, just to bewitch me?"

Yun Ya chuckled and nodded, "It’s not beyond the realm of possibility."

Lin Sili’s face fell, "I knew it, he had a motive for approaching me. Like father like son, the rat’s son digs holes; what good can come from the son of Pan Yu."

"Not necessarily, what if he was truly attracted to you?" Yun Ya teased.

Lin Sili glared at her, "How could that be possible? He’s still my brother, although I don’t acknowledge him, but in name and by blood, he is my brother."

Yun Ya, recalling the rumors about Lin Tao’s origins, smiled noncommittally.

Lin Tao drove home, no sooner had he entered the room, Pan Yu pushed open the door and entered, followed by a teary-eyed Lin Qianqian.

Lin Tao collapsed onto the bed, let out a long, weary sigh as though exhausted, "I’m going to sleep. Can you not disturb me?"

"Mom, if you don’t believe me, you can ask my brother. I saw it with my own eyes." Lin Qianqian tugged on Pan Yu’s sleeve, her lips pursed stubbornly.

Pan Yu’s eyes flickered, and she walked over, looking down at her son, "Tao’er, get up, your mother has something to ask you."

"If you have something to say, just say it." Lin Tao turned over impatiently.

Pan Yu took a deep breath, "Your sister said she saw you going out with Lin Sili in your arms?"

Pan Yu was taken aback by his quick admission, and was momentarily at a loss for words, "You need to be clear about your identity, knowing what you should and shouldn’t do."

"She’s my sister in name, isn’t it only right to show her some concern? What are you worried about?" Lin Tao, propping himself up with one hand on the bed, looked up at Pan Yu, his eyes mocking. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelFɪre.net

"You... You know full well that we’re at odds with her, and yet you’re getting so close to her. Are you trying to anger me on purpose?"

Lin Tao’s lips curled up, his eyes casting a somewhat sinister glow in the light, "You seem to be confused; you’re at odds with her, what’s that got to do with me?"

"Lin Tao," Pan Yu was furious: "Do you realize what you’re saying? You’re my son, and yet you turn your back on me? Who has been providing for your education, your food, your clothes..."

Lin Tao casually cleaned his ear, "Mom, I just made a casual remark, why are you getting so worked up? Getting angry makes a woman age, no wonder dad doesn’t often come home anymore, having to see that face of yours is enough."

"You..." Pan Yu was so angry that her chest hurt; she had so many hopes for her son, and yet here he was, a hopeless good-for-nothing, infuriating her to no end.

"Mom, I’m right, aren’t I? My brother’s been seduced by that vixen, ugh, seducing her own brother, she’s worse than pigs and dogs." Lin Qianqian spat out.

Lin Tao narrowed his eyes, glancing coldly at Lin Qianqian, who suddenly felt a chill and involuntarily shrank back.

"Why are you glaring at me? Did I say something wrong? Lin Sili is a shameless slut, and so are you. What kind of women can’t you get, what’s so good about Lin Sili, someone else’s worn-out shoe, and you treat it like a treasure." Lin Qianqian rambled on angrily.

Lin Tao suddenly threw a pillow at her, "Get out."

Lin Qianqian hurriedly jumped aside, but it was too late; the throw was surprisingly strong, and she was knocked backward by just a pillow, crying out, "Mom, look at my brother..."

Pan Yu looked at him disappointedly, "Tao’er, you’ve really let your mother down."

Lin Tao turned over, "I’m going to sleep."

Pan Yu turned to leave, then after a couple of steps, as if she thought of something, she suddenly turned around and hurried back. Lin Tao’s shirt had ridden up at the waist, revealing toned muscles; Pan Yu suddenly lifted his shirt, her pupils dilated in shock.
