“We’ll go home when Grandpa gets better.” Lin Ya didn’t give an exact time and continued with a look of regret. “It’s a pity that you’re busy at home and can’t even take care of yourself adequately. Otherwise, you should really come back to see Grandpa.”
Lin Ya’s words reminded Lin Kerou of being around her grandfather in her childhood.
She hadn’t seen Grandpa in a long time.
However, at this time, Lin Kerou was completely under Lin Ya’s manipulation. She did not question at all why Lin Ya could remain so calm even after such a huge incident had happened to Mu Donglin.
After all, that document originated from Lin Ya. That was why Mu Donglin had gotten into trouble.
By the time she realized all these, the call had already ended.
Lin Kerou thought about Lin Ya’s words and quickly rushed to the police station.
Mu Donglin’s lawyer was trying to understand the situation. What surprised Lin Kerou was that, there was more than one lawyer present.
Besides Lawyer Wu, who usually handled Mu Donglin’s matters, there was also Mu Che’s butler, Mu Yun, and Lawyer He, who was a long-time friend of Mu Che’s.
Lin Kerou calmed down and walked in under the watchful eyes of the policemen.
Seeing Mu Donglin in a daze made Lin Kerou’s heart ache. She called out to him, and then told him everything that Lin Ya had said.
Mu Donglin asked with a strange expression, “Where is he now?”
Lin Kerou paused and frowned. “In Kong Prefecture, at my grandfather’s house.”
Mu Donglin laughed. The laugh was full of bitterness. However, he did not say anything else.
Lin Kerou felt uneasy about this. Through the thick glass barrier, she looked at him and said, “Brother Donglin, I think there’s something fishy about this matter. It should have something to do with Mu Xichen and Li Beinian. Otherwise, how could they be hosting their wedding banquet happily right now? Mu Xichen should be the one suffering. Brother Donglin, don’t worry. My brother and I will think of a way to save you.”
“Go home for now, Kerou. I know what to do.”
Lin Kerou felt even more uneasy and continued, “I think my brother is right. This is the best solution for now…”
“Kerou.” Mu Donglin suddenly looked at her.
Lin Kerou suppressed the panic in her heart. Her eye lashes quivered as she looked at the man.
“I know you really like me, so I don’t want to get you involved.” Mu Donglin folded his hands on the narrow ledge in front of him. “No matter how this matter is going to be handled, we…”
“Brother Donglin!” Lin Kerou seemed to have guessed what Mu Donglin was going to say. Her face turned even paler.
She looked into Mu Donglin’s determined gaze and there was a quivering in her eyes. Forcing a smile that made her look even worse that if she had cried, she said, “I’ll go home and think of a way. Take care of yourself.”
Just as Lin Kerou turned around, Mu Donglin spoke again. “Let’s get a divorce, Kerou. Your life will only be better off without me.”
“Impossible!” Lin Kerou cried without thinking. “I love you, Brother Donglin. There’s no way I’ll agree to divorce you.”
“Kerou, it’s different this time. I might… go to jail.”
“No!” Lin Kerou shouted. “I won’t let you go to jail!”
After Lin Kerou shouted this, she saw that Mu Donglin was about to say something else. She immediately interrupted and shouted sternly, “If you really end up in jail, I’ll wait for you!”
Mu Donglin’s heart ached and his expression turned complex.
Although teary-eyed, Lin Kerou’s harsh tone made her seem very different from usual.
In fact, her stern expression reminded him of Li Beinian.
