Chapter 221 She Shouldn't Be Your Tool for Venting Your Anger and Revenge
Three years have passed by in a blink of an eye.
The imperial capital was still bustling and bustling, with numerous shops, bustling crowds of people, and a lot of noise.
Lin Tingjing sat in a taxi, gazing at the drizzle outside the window that was falling like silk threads.
The person next to him was the first to break the silence and said softly, "The Sheng family just sent a message. If you encounter any difficulties and need assistance, please feel free to tell them."
Lin Ting smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
At this point, she could no longer tell who was responsible for her difficulties.
On the New Year's Eve of his first year in Dan Country, Lin Ting went to Mrs. Cather's estate to pay New Year's greetings according to Chinese customs.
She saw two stunning men, whose faces were so handsome that they were almost unreal.
She swore she had never seen anyone so handsome.
Even Han Yan would probably pale in comparison if he stood next to them.
Lin Ting, who was standing at the door, just stared at the two people and was distracted for a moment.
It was strange, she had never seen them before, but for some reason, the moment her eyes met theirs, an unusually familiar feeling welled up in her heart.
After taking a closer look, Lin Ting discovered that the two men looked extremely similar. No, to be precise, not only were they similar, but even she herself looked very similar to them.
One of the middle-aged men seemed to be arguing with Mrs. Cather.
His face looked extremely bad, and he asked, "If Sheng Lin didn't tell me everything, were you planning to keep it a secret from me forever?"
Mrs. Cather sat upright on a carved chair, stirring the rose tea in her cup gracefully.
She responded calmly, "Well, I just want them to help me raise my daughter, and then I'll tell Lin Yi that she's my daughter and her husband's."
Who knew that they would die so soon? They died before she had the chance to vent all the hatred in her heart!
"But Lin Ting isn't your daughter or that man's. She's our daughter!" The middle-aged man's emotions were already somewhat out of control. His breathing became rapid, and his words were filled with heartache. "She shouldn't have become a tool for you to vent your anger and revenge. She shouldn't have to endure these sufferings and tortures that don't belong to her."
If I hadn't happened to pass by my son's villa today, if I hadn't had that accidental glance...
He may never know that he has a daughter who is related to him by blood in this world.
"If you hadn't sent her away, nothing would have happened to her and the child from the Su family." The middle-aged man tried his best to control his voice: "She and the child from the Su family are the ones who are truly engaged..."
Mrs. Cather suddenly interrupted the middle-aged man. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and indignation. She asked loudly, "Then tell me, what can I do?"
A blush quickly appeared in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Whenever I see her when she's ill, I think of myself back then. I'm heartbroken, and I can't bear to let her go. But things have already developed to this point. What else can I do?"
"Back then, when they tortured me to the point of insanity, half-human and half-ghost, it was you who stayed by my side. I've always remembered this kindness, which is why I willingly gave birth to Sheng Lin for you. But who could have imagined that you would become the shackles that trapped me, denying me even a shred of freedom!"
"Sheng Jingze!" Mrs. Cather became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice unconsciously rising a little: "I want revenge! How can I take revenge if you won't let me leave!"
When mentioning the past, Mrs. Cather's face suddenly showed hatred: "Lin Yi's husband is a piece of shit. I would have a one-night stand with him and play with him like playing with a bird."
The middle-aged man named Sheng Jingze had a face as pale as paper, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
For decades, she had been using the fact that she had had a relationship with that man as an excuse, creating a bottomless gap between them and pushing him thousands of miles away.
In fact, she had never had any real conflict with that person...
"When my grandmother passed away, before I even left for China, I discovered I was pregnant with Lin Ting." A cold smile played across Mrs. Cather's lips. "Look, even God is helping me. What a perfect plan."
