Lin Haoran's room. Lin Haoran and Mrs. Lin are both here. Lin Haoran was sitting upright and reading silently. He looked calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes that lingered for a long time. At this time, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Boom!"
As there was a knock on the door, Mrs. Lin opened the door and took a look. She suddenly felt happy and said happily: "Yu Qing, come in quickly!"
Lin Haoran didn't look at her, and he didn't even turn his head slightly to the side. He still looked the same as before. The only difference was that with the arrival of Lin Yuqing, Lin Haoran's brows suddenly sank a little.
The person who came in was Lin Yuqing who had returned from Siguo Cliff.
It wasn't that the time limit for her to think about it had expired, or that Lin Haoran took the initiative to ask her to come back, but that his wife and the disciples of Qiushui Villa all begged him for mercy.
Lin Haoran saw that the inner demon was dead and the matter was over, so he reluctantly agreed to let her come back early.
Although she was temporarily allowed to come back, as soon as he thought of the mistakes she had made during this trip, Lin Haoran suddenly felt helpless and disappointed in his heart. He was indeed a little disappointed with his daughter. Perhaps it was because he, as the leader of the alliance, had too high demands on her, so the huge gap caused by Lin Yuqing's performance not meeting his expectations made him feel very uncomfortable.
Not only did she not meet her expectations, but she also made troubles and made mistakes one after another. This made Lin Haoran feel relieved. He naturally had no good feelings towards her.
Lin Yuqing walked in slowly from the outside, her head slightly lowered, and she walked directly past Mrs. Lin, ignoring her existence.
Mrs. Lin quietly stood beside her husband Lin Haoran, silent, but there was a hint of loss in her eyes.
"Dad!" Lin Yuqing glanced at Lin Haoran, who was sitting there motionless and shouted expressionlessly.
Lin Haoran's eyes did not move at all, and he said faintly: "Why didn't I hear you call me mother?"
Lin Yuqing stared straight ahead. There was no reaction or movement for a long time, and there was only a look of indifference in her beautiful eyes.
Lin Yuqing was still full of inexplicable hostility towards her father's current wife, her stepmother. After so many years, Lin Yuqing had never truly accepted her in her heart.
Lin Haoran's first wife was Lin Yuqing's biological mother. She passed away due to illness many years ago. A few years later, Lin Haoran renewed their relationship and married his current wife, Qin Xian. But in fact, this Qin Xian was the former Yun Yun. Yunfan was right about Fan's old friend, the woman named Ruolan. They were indeed the same person. As for why she left without saying goodbye, and why she deceived Yunfan about everything about her? All this is actually a bit complicated, so I won’t go into details here.
Ruolan is not her real name, it is just a false name she made up on a whim. It is no wonder that Yunfan has been searching for her for so many years and has found nothing.
If he hadn't come to Qiushui Villa unintentionally this time in order to eliminate evil in Jianghu and eliminate his inner demons, I'm afraid he would never have known that the person he had worked so hard to find was now the upright wife of the alliance leader, and Right under his nose.
Qin Xian glanced at Lin Yuqing and said quickly: "We are all a family. We don't need to call each other every time we meet."
Lin Haoran's eyes finally shifted slightly from the book: "There is an order between elder and younger, and there are distinctions between seniority and inferiority. You have read "Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues" since you were a child."
Lin Haoran finished speaking, and after a moment, Lin Yuqing's lips uttered one word without saltiness: "Mother!"
Qinxian: "..."
Lin Haoran continued: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good. If you really know your mistakes and repent, dad will let you come back."
Seeing that she still had an indifferent expression on her face, completely indifferent and showing no sign of remorse, Lin Haoran's originally improving face suddenly turned gloomy. He snorted coldly and put the book in his hand on the table. He looked at Lin Yuqing and said seriously: "You still don't know where you went wrong. Do you know that many people begged for you, and that's why dad asked you to come back so soon!"
Lin Yuqing glanced sideways and said, "Dad, my daughter's way of dealing with things may not be mature enough, but I don't think there is anything wrong with me."
Lin Haoran stood up, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Even now, you are still so unrepentant."
Lin Yuqing said tit for tat: "I just followed your teachings to slay demons and protect the Tao. What's wrong with me! If it was because of my reckless behavior that the third senior sister was injured, I would be willing to be punished; but, if it was because I wanted to exterminate the demons in my heart, I would be punished. , my daughter just refuses to accept it!”
"You can't teach a child!" he said angrily. Lin Haoran said the last thing, getting angrier as he spoke.
Lin Yuqing said: "Then you can continue to punish me."
"Okay! I will punish you to stay in Siguo Cliff and you will not be allowed to come back in this life."
Lin Yuqing's character was as stubborn as her dead mother's, and she believed in things that even nine cows couldn't pull back, and would not change easily.
Seeing that the conflict between father and daughter was intensifying and the quarrel was getting louder, no one gave in and almost took action. The atmosphere became increasingly tense and the situation got out of control several times.
Qinxian was also caught in the middle, in a dilemma, either leaving or not leaving. For a moment, he really didn't know what to do.
Now she was the only one to be the peacemaker. She took Lin Haoran's arm and said urgently: "My dear sir, you are young and energetic, and your ideas will inevitably be biased. As parents, you need to be more patient in teaching. If every Every time I only know how to punish without understanding, it will be self-defeating."
When Lin Yuqing heard this, her eyes suddenly turned sideways, she looked at Qin Xian, and said coldly: "I don't need you to plead for me!"
"You!" Lin Haoran was furious. He raised his right hand high and was about to hit her.
When Qin Xian saw that something was not going well, he immediately grabbed Lin Haoran's right arm and said, "My lord, you are very good at tempting!"
Lin Haoran glanced at his wife, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart for the time being. He said with a cold eyebrow: "Okay, since your mother can say good things for you, I will forgive you once, but you have to stay in Qiushui Villa to reflect on it." , you are not allowed to go down the mountain without my permission." After saying that, Lin Haoran did not look at her.
Lin Yuqing replied coldly: "I know!" After saying that, Lin Yuqing stepped up to go out.
"Stop!" Lin Haoran shouted.
"..." Lin Yuqing's steps suddenly stopped.
Lin Haoran said in a deep voice: "Your mother spoke for you, why didn't she even say a word of thanks?"
"Thanks!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yuqing didn't stop anymore, and walked away quickly and coldly.
"Alas!" Lin Haoran sighed quietly: "It's been so many years, and she still can't accept you."
Qinxian sat down in front of him and said, "You can't blame her. I have never been her biological mother."
Lin Haoran looked at his wife, and a moment of emotion flashed through his heart. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
The more considerate she is, the more I feel sorry for her. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel disappointed with Lin Yuqing.
Everyone says: A tiger father has no dog daughter. But, why is my daughter so unmotivated and unable to understand my painstaking efforts?
Although he was really angry just now and was about to hit her, he knew in his heart that how could he bear to hit her? It was just an act of madness in anger, all because he hated iron.
Lin Haoran knew very well that the reason why Lin Yuqing was so rebellious was because she married Qin Xian. She could never accept this matter or Qin Xian as a person.
Lin Haoran said: "But you can't become more and more rebellious and disobedient just because of this."
Qinxian said softly: "Perhaps it is the lack of communication between you and your daughter. You think that Yuqing is your Lin Haoran's daughter, so you are more strict with her than others, and she hopes to meet your requirements. You try your best to show off, and as a result, she feels that you are targeting her at every turn, and from your point of view, she thinks it is her willfulness."
The so-called bystander is clear. As a bystander, Qinxian undoubtedly saw the conflict between their father and daughter quite thoroughly and clearly. Therefore, her words were concise and to the point, which made Lin Haoran feel enlightened and enlightened.
Lin Haoran nodded: "What you said makes sense."
Qinxian continued: "You have to be calm in everything. So many things have happened recently, and you are under a lot of pressure. Take good care of yourself."
"Fortunately, Brother Yun and Mr. Sikong helped, otherwise the matter of inner demons alone would not have been solved so quickly." Lin Haoran said with a smile.
When Yun Fan was mentioned, Qin Xian's bright eyes dodge unnaturally. She looked at Lin Haoran, her voice lowered unconsciously, and she hesitated: "Mr., it's Yun Fan..."
Lin Haoran looked at her and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Yunfan?"
Qinxian paused and said, "Actually, Yunfan really helped us a lot this time, and we have to thank him properly."
"Of course!" Lin Haoran responded without thinking, and then he picked up the book on the table and read it carefully. It seemed that he was not affected by the previous incident at all.
Qin Xian glanced at Lin Haoran secretly, and a flash of panic flashed through her beautiful eyes. However, Lin Haoran, who was reading seriously at this time, did not seem to notice anything unusual about his wife.
