Chapter 1272: Sly fox
\'That dumb granddaughter of mine,\' Old Master Lin rubbed his forehead feeling a wave of tiredness washing over him. He had thought that with his strict teachings, the children and the grandchildren of the Lin family would be just as competent as his daughter and him. However one was more disappointing than another.
If that was not bad enough, Lin Xiaoyue also married someone who wanted to usurp the Lin family as his own. Old Master Lin felt his head throb even more when he thought about how Lin Xiaoyue would still support her husband if he were to tell the truth to her.
With how obsessed Lin Xiaoyue was with Nan Jin it was impossible for her to believe a single word about Nan Jin\'s betrayal if anything she would tell him that he was thinking too much and it was Nan Rin who was not normal.
There was no point in discussing this matter with Lin Xiaoyue who was dumber than her mother who only knew how to spend money and not bring a penny back home. This was why Old Master Lin discussed with the rest of the family and told them that he was taking the two children on vacation as there was still time for them to start school.
Unsurprisingly, Nan Jin tried to stop him. He said something about Nan Rin feeling insecure and uncomfortable, but Old Master Lin knew that the man was worried that he would find out about the condition of Nan Rin and try to help and stop Nan Rin from dying.
Of course, through his investigation, he had also found out that Nan Jin actually had another son! And that son was already ten years old! When he found out the truth, he was so angry that Old Master Lin felt his heartbeat quicken but when he thought about how his great-
grandchildren would suffer if something was to happen to him. Thus, he picked himself up and suppressed his anger.
Even if Old Master Lin did not know Nan Jin that well, he knew that the reason Nan Jin married Lin Xiaoyue and gave birth to a son was to pave the way for his illegitimate son! As long as Nan Rin died, Nan Jin could always adopt that illegitimate son under the guise of soothing the hollow left behind by Nan Rin.
That man for the sake of that illegitimate bastard, he wanted to kill his own blood and flesh!
Thus, when Old Master Lin heard Nan Jin\'s refusal, he ignored him and said that he knew what he was doing. It was quite difficult to bring the children out of the house and he did not want to return to the Lin mansion without dealing with the crux of the problem.
So after he consulted more than ten or so Celestial masters, Old Master Lin finally decided to call Song Yan. If it meant to save his great grandson then he was willing to put his face aside.
"You do not have to worry about her," Old Master Lin said with a firm voice. "She doesn\'t care about her children that much, as long as I say that they are with me she will not investigate it. Their father will be a different story but I think that you can deal with it, Madam Song."
Song Yan furrowed her brows, even though she understood what Old Master Lin was trying to say but she did not want to get involved with anything too troublesome. And from what Old Master Lin was saying, Song Yan could see that he wanted to leave the children with her, such that she could resolve the matter of the bracelet once and for all.
A frown settled on her face as she thought that it was too big of a deal. Lin Xiaoyue and she did not get along with one another. If that woman were to find out that she was keeping her children even by the smallest of mistakes then that woman would never let it rest. Who knows she would be blamed for hurting the child when she hadn\'t even done anything?
Thus, she tactfully refused. Though she would like her husband and his maternal grandfather to get along with one another and forget the things in the past, Song Yan did not want to get into unnecessary trouble. And everything about that naive and besotted Miss Lin screamed trouble.
When Old Master Lin heard Song Yan\'s firm yet tactful refusal, he panicked. Song Yan was the last hope that he had in front of him, if something happened to his great-grandson then he was afraid that he would not be able to stop an illegitimate child from taking over the Lin family.
Nan Rin was his and Lin\'s family\'s hope!
Coupled with the fact that, Nan Jin had been keeping an eye on the condition of Nan Rin if they were to return home without treating Nan Rin, he was afraid that something would happen to Nan Rin when he was not paying attention!
Nan Jin seemed to be planning all of this for a long time, with Lin Xiaoyue completely standing on his side, Old Master Lin did not think that he would be able to protect Nan Rin all the time. What was more Nan Rin was Nan Jin\'s son, he couldn\'t stop Nan Jin from approaching his own son, right?
So he could only harden his skin and plead in front of Song Yan who knew how to deal with the bracelet.
And so when Song Yan refused to help him, Old Master Lin threw away his dignity as the master of the Lin family. He cried and sobbed even bringing up his dead daughter and how she wouldn\'t want Nan Rin to die, Old Master Lin even threw in a deal that he would willing to sign with Fu Yu Sheng in exchange for Nan Rin\'s life.
"Madam Song, I know that it\'s impossible for the two families\' relationship to change all of a sudden but don\'t you think it\'s better if we both take a step back?"
