<h4>Chapter 213 - Didn''t See Anything</h4>


    "La-Lan ''er " stuttered Father Lin, feeling awkward and a little embarrassed. Standing in front of him was his wife whose beauty seemed to have been frozen by time. Those dewy eyes that were watching him were still just as beautiful as they were when he first saw her, even after ten years those eyes still had their precious innocence intact without getting tainted. Those small lips looked just as kissable as they were when he held Zhao Lan in his arms for the first time after their marriage and coupled with his wife''s dainty waist and willowy figure, Father Lin had this sudden urge to bury himself in the ground and nevere out!


    His wife looked like a little princess while on the other hand, he resembled a toad who was aiming for a swan!


    He was of course delighted to see that his sons took such good care of their mother but at the same time he was a little confused -he couldn''t help but secretly wonder over the fact that his sons brought such a big house, in fact by their healthyplexion and the fine material of clothes they were wearing they seemed to be doing okay - but how was it possible for that blood-sucking family to really let them live so peacefully?


    Father Lin was confused but Mother Lin was even more confused. For ten years she have lived like this man''s widow and all of a sudden her man who was supposed to be dead and lost in the sea was standing in front of her - Mother Lin felt that her emotions were a mess, she didn''t know what she was feeling. She was stunned , depressed and overwhelmed with joy - she was happy of course she was but at the same time she was dejected and upset, Ten years it actually took this man ten years toe back home!


    Where was he? What was he doing? Didn''t he already know that she was dependent on him? From the day she became his wife, she waspletely dependent on him but he still left her alone to fend for herself and their kids. She took care of everything, she alone raised their kids - and now that everything was settled, now when their daughters were married and their sons have settled down this man returned? For what?


    Where was he when she needed a shoulder to cry on? Where was he when his stepmother was suppressing her and bullying her children? where was he when she missed him so much that she cried herself to sleep?


    The more Mother Lin thought about it the more angry and frustrated she became, she had no idea what and how she should react, thus, the situation went into a stalemate.


    However, her clenched hands and her reddened eyes betrayed her real emotions. Mother Lin might have wanted toe off just as indifferent and cool as Su Wan but instead, she resembled a little girl who was bullied by the guy she liked - with her lips pursed tightly in a thin line and her entire body shaking like a leaf in winter.


    Her entire being seemed as if she was pleading to be protected and doted upon.


    Father Lin eyes reddened as well when he saw his wife standing there in front of him, she looked like she wanted to cry but because she was too stubborn to show weakness in front of him, thus, she was trying her best to restrain her tears. His heart ached even more at this thought, his Lan ''er was such a wilful and bubbly young girl - she didn''t even knew how to deal with his headstrong and greedy stepmother when he first married her , without him who knows how much she suffered under those blood sucking bastards . He indeed let his children down but the person towards whom he was most guilty was Zhao Lan .


    If not for his promises of love ,she could have been married to another family which had less trouble and dramapared to his but it was all because of his stubbornness and wilfulness that Zhao Lan married him .And yet he couldn''t protect her - He was indeed at fault here .


    " Lan ''er , I''m so sorry " Father Lin didn''t give any excuse nor did he asked for Mother Lin ''s forgiveness . If he wasn''t stupid and trusted that good half brother of his , then he would have never suffered so much like this but because of his own naiveness he kept treating those beasts as his family and what did he receive in the end ? A freaking back stab ! If he heard his wife ''s advice and separated from the family earlier on then his wife would have never been bullied - his children wouldn''t have to suffer under those good rtives of his ! Everything happened because of his own stupidity , thus he would set everything right - today , he shall put an end to whatever rtionship his family had with the old Lin family !


    Mother Lin heard his apology and all of a sudden the fire in her heart roared even more , the memories of the day when she heard her husband drowned in the sea freshened up once again . That day if she wasn''t worried about her children she would have jumped in the roaring sea too ! Only she knew how depressed, heartbroken and cold she felt back then but now she thought as if all her pain was nothing but a joke - sorry ? She nearly died because of her heart ache and lost her will to live and this was all what she got now , '' a sorry ?''


    Really ?


    For the first time in her life Mother Lin felt as if something evil was rolling in her stomach , she didn''t stop to think what she was going to do? - she just did .


    The next second before anyone could figure out what was happening , they saw Mother Lin pouncing on Father Lin . The sounds of firm , swift ps rang around the courtyard as Mother Lin started yelling " Sorry ? You bastard ! You monster ! Ten years ! You were gone for ten years and this is all you have to say !"


    The more Mother Lin shouted the more her voice increased and the vigers who wereing to greet Father Lin immediately turned around when they saw the ferocious expression of mother Lin who seemed as if she was trying to beat the life out of Father Lin .


    '' they didn''t see anything ''


    '' See ? I didn''t even hear anything ''
