Chapter 214-1: Honestly
Hearing Abbess Yun Miao’s next level explanation, the young nun Hui Lin totally lost her bearings, it was almost as if she took this as the truth, as she seemed delighted when she glanced at Yang Chen, then lowered her head in silence.
Lin Zhiguo finally spoke again at this point, and he seemed both physically and mentally exhausted, “Yun-er, all that you have said is true. I have failed the children, whether as a father or grandfather. I feel especially guilty towards Hui Lin and Ruoxi, I wasn’t able to fulfill my part as their grandfather, and had never even carried them when they were children. There were too many matters I had to attend to in the past and I used it as my excuse, but now that I think about what I had done, I realize that I am indeed inferior to this stinky brat.”
As he said that, Lin Zhiguo looked towards Yang Chen, then said, “You shouldn’t act conceited. Although you may be slightly better than me, don’t assume that I have no knowledge of the fact that you have at least three other lovers other than Ruoxi whom you are married to. They are all stuck tightly onto you, did you think you could keep us in the dark?”
Yang Chen honestly replied, “I never intended to conceal this fact, and I wouldn’t abandon a single one of them.”
“What!?” Abbess Yun Miao had only just learned of this fact, causing her brows to furrow tightly together, “What do you mean by that, are you trying to be the emperor? Huaxia only practices monogamy, you’re being unfaithful to your wife!”
Hearing this, Hui Lin’s blushing face turned dark. Her eyes seemed to turn moist, and she pouted in distress.
Yang Chen helplessly sighed, “Abbess, I have never intended to conceal this fact, you just never gave me an opportunity to say it. I admit that I’m not an honorable man, but I will always be truthful to my wife. The fact is Ruoxi has never questioned me on matters like these, while I don’t have any reason to tell her all about it. Sometimes, not knowing some things conversely makes the relationship actually better. But of course, this is also the reason why I don’t want you to push Hui Lin towards me, because I’m truly not much better than your husband……”
“Brat, you dare use me to joke!?” Lin Zhiguo stared at Yang Chen sharply.
Abbess Yun Miao sneered, “He’s right, at least he dares to admit to his faults. Back then, you would only sneakily cheat on me !”
“Yun-er! These are completely different matters! He needs to at least respect his elders! Besides, this concerns the happiness of both of my granddaughters, how can I leave this brat be!?” Said Lin Zhiguo.
Yun Miao replied with disdain, “Only Hui Lin is my granddaughter, that Lin Ruoxi is yours, and the rest of the Lin Family does not recognize her either. I only care about Hui Lin’s happiness, the rest is none of my concern!”
“Why have you become this unreasonable!? You weren’t like this in the past!”
“This is all caused by you, bastard!!”
As he saw this old couple raising their voices in front of their grandchild, Yang Chen completely understood what it meant for a couple to actually quarrel now. The cold war that went on between him and Lin Ruoxi was just a trivial matter in comparison!
However, one was the junior sister of his half-master, while the other is the grandfather of his wife. He couldn’t just slip away just because he wanted to avoid trouble.
“Grandma! Grandpa! Stop arguing!”
It was at this time that Hui Lin finally couldn’t bear to let this continue. She tugged on Abbess Yun Miao and dissuaded them, “If the two of you continue arguing, this matter will never be solved. I will decide my own life, if the two of you continue like this, I will…… I will…… I will ignore both of you from now on!”
Saying that, Hui Lin angrily stormed out of the tent while wiping away her tears!
“Ah… Hui Lin! Hui Lin! Come back!”
Abbess Yun Miao and Lin Zhiguo both shouted, but Hui Lin ran off without even turning back.
Next, their gazes landed on Yang Chen, they were itching to flay him alive.
“Watch out, Yang Chen. I will properly educate your insensibilities for my Senior Brother, I definitely will not let Hui Lin’s husband have multiple lovers!” Said Abbess Yun Miao while she walked out of the army tent. She probably went to look for Hui Lin.
Yang Chen felt rather gloomy. He never said that he wanted to marry Hui Lin, so why was she trying to manage his relationship with his women? Anyway, Song Tianxing never tried to manage him despite the fact that he taught him this powerful internal skill, so who was she to manage him when she was just Song Tianxing’s junior sister?
Chapter 214-2: Honestly
Lin Zhiguo sighed, then fixated his gaze on Yang Chen and said, “You need not overthink things, I know of your vicious and greedy nature. If Hui Lin really falls into your hands, both of my granddaughters would suffer. The matter this time round is due to negligence on our part, we weren’t able to discover Broken Blade’s betrayal fast enough. It was all thanks to you that tragedies were averted, but this is also a good thing for you. The upper management has recognized your actions as friendly, and will not take the initiative to meddle with your personal life in the future.”
Yang Chen smiled, “That doesn’t affect me at all.”
“But it affects the people around you. No matter how powerful you are, you can’t protect all of your women at the same time, right?” Lin Zhiguo questioned.
Yang Chen’s smile turned cold, “Your people better not be thinking that way. It’s true that I can’t protect all of them at the same time, but I can kill all of you people! If you want the protective umbrella of Huaxia known as the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade to be annihilated like Zero did, you can give it a try.”
“Are you threatening me!?” Lin Zhiguo’s eyes turned sharp, and he broke out a fierce and steely aura.
Yang Chen didn’t seem to mind that at all, “This isn’t a threat, it’s just a friendly message. I will not create trouble as long as you guys do not provoke me. Someone standing at a post as high as yours should be very clear that under the 《Treaty of Gods》, I’m not allowed to do anything to you guys as long as I’m not provoked.”
Lin Zhiguo’s expression went through various changes, then he nodded, “A helicopter is already prepared for you, you may leave at any time.”
“Many thanks.”
“Wait!”
Yang Chen was in the middle of walking away when he turned back, “What is it?”
“If it’s possible……” There was a dispirited look on Lin Zhiguo’s face as he said, “If it’s possible, I hope you can help me persuade Ruoxi. As long as she’s willing, I can force the family to accept her, and she can return to the Lin Family instead of drifting outside all alone.”
Yang Chen’s lips formed a slight smile, “I’m starting to understand why my wife doesn’t like you. What she wants isn’t the acceptance of the family, what she wants is an elder that cares, that can be touched, and that can truly be a part of her life. Furthermore, she is no longer alone, for I am her relative.”
With that said, Yang Chen left the tent in big strides.
Watching Yang Chen leave, Lin Zhiguo seemed stunned. After a while, he sighed and asked, “Gray Robe, is what he’s saying true?”
Gray Robe who had been standing in the corner remained silent for a while, then said, “I think what he said does have an element of truth in it.”
“But Ruoxi doesn’t allow me to get close to her at all, how can I be her elder then?” Lin Zhiguo despondently said.
“Master, in the twenty-odd years since Miss Ruoxi was born, the amount of time you’ve spent with her does not even amount to an hour. I believe that that isn’t nearly enough time spent for her to even consider whether you sincerely care about her, right?” Said Gray Robe.
Hearing this, Lin Zhiguo fell deep in thought.
Outside the army tent, Abbess Yun Miao and Hui Lin were nowhere to be found, but the rest of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade members were standing by a military helicopter. Even the seriously hurt Cannon who was wrapped in bandages was here on a wheelchair, smiling towards Yang Chen.
“We’re here to send you off, thank you for your service to the country!” Tsunami who had become the new Captain said while extending his hand towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen shook his hand and said, “In the future, don’t do silly things like blackmailing with poison.”
“That is Broken Blade’s plot, there will never be a second Broken Blade!” Bigfoot sternly stated.
“I hope that is the case.” Yang Chen said with a smile.
Leaf shyly chimed in as well, “Big Brother Yang, apologize to Big Sister Mo and Auntie Ma on my behalf, I will apologize to Big Sister Mo myself if I have the opportunity to in the future, sorry to bother you.” After saying that, Leaf stepped forward and gave Yang Chen a hug, then quickly let go and stepped backwards.
Everyone laughed heartily, causing Leaf to blush.
Yang Chen bade farewell to them one after another, then impatiently got onto the helicopter and headed towards Kunshan Village.
After all, Mo Qianni who was at home was probably pacing back and forth in panic right now.
However, Yang Chen wouldn’t have expected that other than those of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade who were sending him off, there was also one more person hiding in a corner, sending him off with eyes that couldn’t bear to part……
