The old woman's hand trembled at this sentence.
She looked at Old Master Luo in disbelief.
After a long sigh, Old Master Luo took the old woman's hand. "Some things, I didn't tell you for the past two years, I didn't want you to worry too much, but... these things are indeed true. After all, he is the eldest. I thought he would stop when it was time to stop, but I didn't expect him to become even worse... Now, it's not appropriate for him to continue to be involved in company matters."
"Really... really?"
The old woman was clearly a bit stunned by these words, she never expected that the eldest son, who usually treated her the best, would actually steal so much money from the company!
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh. I wouldn't really let the eldest son and the others have nothing. It's just that these past few years, they, brothers and sisters, have emptied more than half of the company. If it weren't for Qing Han staying there to keep watch, the Luo family might not exist today." The old master smiled bitterly when he thought of his decision before.
With the Luo family now hollowed out, it was only thanks to Qing Han's willingness to diligently manage everything.
At this, the old woman fell silent.
However, just as Lin Xiao thought it was over, Mrs. Hua immediately looked up and stared at Lin Xiao, "Then why did you hurt my grandson?! He's still lying in the hospital!"
"Regarding this question..." Lin Xiao exchanged a look with Luo Qinghan. "Why don't you explain it?"
"...You say it yourself."
Luo Qinghan said with a hint of annoyance.
"Why, exactly?"
Mrs. Hua's tone was no longer as aggressive as before.
Lin Xiao then recounted what had happened at noon.
When he mentioned that Luo Qinghan was about to commit suicide to prove her innocence, Li Xin immediately erupted, slapping the table. "What?! Nearly forced to death by my daughter? Which hospital is he in?! I will not rest until he and I are done today!"
Lin Xiao held Luo Qinghan's hand. He would rather Luo Qinghan be a bit more willful, a bit more resentful towards these people, than to see Luo Qinghan be so sensible and considerate of them when facing the Luo family.
Of course, afterwards, Luo Buwei's family would absolutely not have an easy time.
Lin Xiao had decided this.
Even Luo Buyu, who was usually a peacekeeper, did not stop Li Xin for the first time. This time, he was also angry. He stared at Mrs. Hua, clenched his fists, and finally spoke, "Aunt, you must give my daughter an explanation for this matter."
Old Master Luo's expression also sank. He stomped his cane on the ground, his brow furrowed. "This eldest son! What has he done?! Without Qing Han, how could the Luo family still be the Luo family?!"
Thinking of this, the old master could no longer sit still. He got up. "No, I have to go to the hospital to see him and question this ungrateful wretch! How could he do this?! This is his niece!"
Niece?
Lin Xiao sneered inwardly. How many people in the entire Luo family truly considered Luo Qinghan as family?
This old woman never treated Luo Qinghan as one of their own, and how could Luo Buwei consider her family?
In their eyes, Luo Qinghan's existence was a threat, someone who would snatch away everything that belonged to them.
Whether Luo Qinghan lived or died was irrelevant to them... If killing were not illegal, Luo Qinghan would have died long ago.
Instead, it was Luo Qinghan, the person directly involved, who appeared the calmest, or rather, she was already accustomed to this situation.
The Luo family never treated her as their own, and she had little sense of belonging to the Luo family. All she cared about was her own family.
"Forget it," Luo Qinghan quickly said. "Grandpa, forget it, I'm fine now."
"We can't just let it go!"
The old master had already gotten up and was preparing to leave.
At this moment, Luo Buyu and Li Xin, the couple, also stood up. "Dad, we'll go together."
Clearly, they were not going to visit Luo Cheng, who was lying in bed in a coma. They were planning to confront Luo Buwei.
Even Mrs. Hua hesitated for a moment, then sighed and followed. She wanted to witness and hear it for herself.
Suddenly, only Lin Xiao's family of three and the household nanny were left in the villa.
"Alas."
Luo Qinghan sat there. The development of events had exceeded her expectations.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Lin Xiao hugged her. "No matter what happens, I'm here..."
"I don't want things to get worse. Grandpa's health is just recovering." If there was anyone in the Luo family besides her parents that Luo Qinghan cared about, it was only the old master. The reason she wanted to smooth things over was purely for her grandfather.
But in the end, the old master found out about it.
"I know, don't worry. With me here, I will help the old master recover his health," Lin Xiao comforted her. "Moreover, they must be taught a proper lesson for this matter."
"Mhm."
Luo Qinghan nodded. Did she hate Luo Buwei?
Of course she hated him!
If it weren't for her grandfather, she would have wished Luo Buwei to die today! But she restrained herself, for her grandfather's sake, and to avoid embarrassing her father. She did not let Lin Xiao kill Luo Buwei.
And to allow Xun'er to grow up normally, without any negative impact, she also held back.
"Mama."
Xun'er was now imitating Lin Xiao, hugging Luo Qinghan.
But unlike Lin Xiao, Xun'er was too young to hug her mother, so she could only hug her leg, lift her head, and look at her mother.
Seeing her daughter like this, Luo Qinghan quickly picked her up.
"Mama! Mua!"
She kissed Luo Qinghan on the cheek, and instantly, all of Luo Qinghan's worries vanished.
With such an understanding daughter, it was enough.
"Alright, Xun'er, Mama will take you for a walk." Luo Qinghan also pecked her on the cheek.
"Mhm mhm!"
Xun'er hugged her. "I love Mama the most!"
"What about me?"
Lin Xiao squeezed in and asked.
Xun'er pondered for a moment, sucked on her finger for a few seconds, and then said, "Second favorite, perhaps?"
"Second? That's not bad." Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then reluctantly agreed.
Afterward, the family of three walked out for a stroll, but after only a few steps, he added, "It would be great if I could be the first favorite in the future."
"Dream on!" Luo Qinghan glared at him playfully. "I raised her from infancy, and you've only been here for a short while. You want to be her favorite person? Impossible!"
"Xun'er, right?"
"Waa!!!" Xun'er let out a cry, crying sorrowfully. "Mama, why did you feed me poop!"
