My carefree life in space

Chapter 302 Lin Cheng'an's Guilt

Upon hearing this news, the major families of the empire flocked to the Mo family of the Imperial Star to inquire about the specifics.

To their surprise, they found nothing; the people from the Mo family's main residence had already boarded a spaceship bound for planet M19.

Jin Hongyu also handed over his affairs to his subordinates overnight, and at dawn he boarded his personal starship and eagerly flew to M19.

In the morning, Lin Shushu strolled through the manor, a gentle breeze caressing her hair, the warm sunlight bathing her, and everything around her exuding a familiar and welcoming atmosphere.

Thinking of her family and loved ones, a sense of peace welled up in her heart, making her feel incredibly happy.

Yuan Qing was equally fascinated and delighted with life here. Since arriving on Star M19, it was as if she had opened a completely new door, and she was enthusiastic about everything here.

Meeting Jin Siyue allowed her to find a like-minded partner. It was as if her pastoral instincts were suddenly awakened, and she plunged headlong into the world of planting.

Every morning, Yuan Qing and Jin Siyue would arrive at the planting area early to carefully tend to the vegetables and flowers.

When Yuan Qing was in the cultivation world, she had seen countless rare flowers and exotic plants. However, at this moment, in her heart, no matter how precious the rare flowers and exotic plants were, they could not compare to an ordinary vegetable that she had planted with her own hands.

Here, she was no longer someone consumed by revenge. Now, she had her daughter and husband by her side, her family reunited, enjoying the bliss of family life. This was the beautiful time she had dreamed of for over twenty years; this warmth and happiness could not be replaced by any rare treasure.

The day after he returned, Lin Chengan met the person who had been with him from childhood to youth.

Lin Song's hair had turned a few silver strands, and his face bore the marks of time, but his eyes still shone with a familiar light.

Lin Shushu brought Lin Song to Star M19 with the intention of letting him retire there, but he couldn't stay idle. He was either helping to manage the plantation or delivering goods.

The reason I didn't see him yesterday was because he personally delivered a batch of ingredients to the border a few days ago and only returned today. I just didn't expect that such a big surprise awaited him upon his return.

"Young Master, you're back." As soon as Lin Song saw Lin Cheng'an, tears welled up in his eyes. Those tears were filled with years of longing and concern, as well as the joy of reunion.

Lin Cheng'an's eyes also reddened slightly. He stood up, walked quickly to Lin Song, and held his hand tightly. "Lin Song, you've had a tough time all these years." His voice trembled slightly, his heart filled with emotion.

Lin Song shook his head and said excitedly, "Young Master, it's no trouble at all. For so many years, I've been hoping that you and Madam could come back. Seeing that you are safe and sound, I'm relieved."

The two sat down and began to reminisce about the past. Lin Song recounted his experiences over the years, and when he mentioned that after sending Lin Shushu back to the Lin family, he returned to the Aolai Empire to find Lin Cheng'an, he was interrupted by Lin Cheng'an in surprise.

"What did you say? You didn't watch Shushu grow up and left her alone in the Lin family?" Lin Cheng'an looked at Lin Song in disbelief. He knew the Lin family members were difficult to get along with, which was why he had Lin Song come along. Now he heard something—Shushu was actually left alone in the Lin family.

"Young Master, didn't Miss tell you?" Lin Song understood immediately. It seemed Miss only reported good news and not bad.

"I'm sorry, young master, it's my fault. I didn't protect the young lady properly as she grew up," Lin Song apologized guiltily.

"You..." Lin Cheng'an harbored resentment. Lin Song couldn't possibly be unaware of the true nature of the Lin family members, yet he left, leaving no other possibility than to find him. In truth, it was all his fault for wronging his daughter.

"Tell me, how has Shushu gotten through these years?" After his daughter found him, she didn't mention her upbringing at all. Although he had asked her, she had glossed over the details.

Hearing Lin Cheng'an's question, Lin Song felt even more guilty. It was only after returning to the Jin Yuan Empire that he learned of the hardships the young lady had endured over the years, from the Mo family couple and others. Knowing how bitter her childhood had been, he wished he could go back in time and kill himself.

Listening to Lin Song recount Lin Shushu's ordeal, Lin Cheng'an's heart ached terribly. He couldn't imagine how a little girl could grow up alone, let alone endure the bullying from the younger members of the Lin family every now and then.

“Shushu has never told us any of this…” Lin Cheng’an covered his face and wept bitterly. His daughter was so sensible that it broke his heart.

"Damn the Lin family, I'm going to find them!" Lin Cheng'an was furious and was about to leave.

“They’ve left the Imperial Star and gone to live on a desolate planet. The young lady is very capable; she avenged herself.” Lin Song quickly spoke up, stopping Lin Cheng’an from taking any further action.

Lin Cheng'an slumped into his chair, dejected. Shu Shu had not only avenged himself, but also him and his mother. This was his responsibility, but Shu Shu had taken it all on and done it even better.

"Young Master, since Miss Lin didn't tell you, it means these things aren't enough for her to keep in mind, and she doesn't want you to feel guilty," Lin Song comforted Lin Cheng'an, who was filled with remorse.

“But that would make me feel even more heartbroken.” Lin Cheng’an knew his daughter’s thoughts, and it was precisely because of this that he felt he was not a good father.

"I need to go apologize to Shushu." Lin Chengan immediately got up and rushed out of the house.

When he arrived at the field, he saw his wife and future mother-in-law picking vegetables. They were chatting and laughing, discussing what to cook for dinner that night.

The daughter and Moze followed closely behind their two mothers, carrying the vegetables they had picked. The two women would occasionally huddle together and whisper to each other, their faces beaming with undeniable happiness.

Seeing this, Lin Cheng'an suddenly felt relieved. Let bygones be bygones. Those people have received their just deserts, and he has let go of his daughter. There is no need for him to hold on to the past anymore.

Now that the family's good days are just around the corner, why let unpleasant people and things affect your mood!

Having thought all this through, Lin Cheng'an put away the pain on his face and joined the picking team with a smile.

Seeing her father arrive, Lin Shushu smiled slightly and handed the baskets she and Mo Ze were carrying to her father. "Dad, you help Mom and the others pick vegetables. We're leaving now." After saying that, she grabbed Mo Ze and ran away before Lin Cheng'an could reply.

Lin Cheng'an looked at the direction his daughter had gone with doting eyes and smiled contentedly. He would never stop his daughter from doing whatever she wanted in the future, as long as she was happy.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze didn't go very far either. They could come and go freely across the entire planet, appearing in any corner in an instant.

Lin Shushu leaned on Mo Ze's shoulder, a relieved smile on her face, and said softly, "I'm so happy to see the mothers so happy."

Mo Ze gently embraced her and said tenderly, "Yes, now that we're all together as a family, everything is wonderful. We'll definitely continue to be happy like this in the future."
