It was just Mr. i who made a mistake.
Although they were war comrades for many years, that was in the past. Now, the two have long had different aspirations...
"Erqing, our Lin Family is more than just my branch. Compared to deep roots, if you count back fifty years, the position of our Old Lin Family in the Capital City goes without saying. Although I’ve been far away in Z City these years, our branches in the Capital City are not just here for a free ride. Although my big brother died early, my two nephews are in the Capital City. They may not be able to compare with your i Family, but you must know that a dying cal is still bigger than a horse, not to ntion we haven’t reached that level yet. My son-in-law from the Lin Family is our pride, and today I’ll lay it on the line—if he wants to acknowledge your family, we’ll support him without a word. If he doesn’t want to, you can’t bla our Lin Family for not getting involved."
Mr. Lin Senior had long been displeased with i Erqing’s actions, but ultimately, because of the distance, he didn’t want to ruin the original friendship.
Today, since i Erqing ca to persuade them, he had to make things clear to him.
No war camaraderie, however important, outweighs his family. That’s the Lin Family, where family ties always co first.
Throughout the years, that’s how he taught the children.
"Brother Sen, don’t speak too assertively. Look at —I’m all this age. I don’t worry about the second family, but the eldest has never given peace of mind all these years. He’s made plenty of mistakes and has learned from them. Now that we know our i Family has a child out there, whatever it takes, we can’t let him wander out there."
Mr. Lin laughed twice. "How can you say he’s wandering? Xiao Yi has Mom and Grandma. He grew up with Mom, has a na and identity. Frankly, your fault is not paying him any attention these years. People have pride and strength and don’t need you. Don’t force it. You’ve ignored him all these years, so continue to act as if he doesn’t exist."
Mr. Lin’s straightforward and hurtful words spared no courtesy, which might lead those unaware of the situation to think of him as a harsh person.
But today, the Lin Family present didn’t find it harsh. Instead, harshness seed more fitting for the i Family.
"Though you say that, we know it’s our fault. Haven’t we been trying to make ands all this ti? He doesn’t give us a chance. That child’s temper resembles mine—a stubborn mule. Fits my taste. You know, the eldest’s one committed sothing and is still in there. I don’t have many years ahead, growing old, valuing family more. Like Brother Sen, I yearn for that feeling of grandchildren around the knees."
"Erqing, I know about your grandson’s affair. To be fair, the issue your grandson stirred up this ti isn’t minor. Young and impetuous, kids inevitably make mistakes. Knowing mistakes and being able to correct them is our blessing. In the future, he can still achieve great things, still have nurous offspring. Also, your grandson excels over here at the military quarters, the district is excellent. Heard that kid has found soone, and as a grandfather, you’re not far from holding great-grandchildren. It’s a matter of turning the year, just a couple more years."
"Junzi, that child has been obedient and outstanding since young, just like my family’s second child. I don’t worry about them. Ah... Brother Sen, I know you value this grandson-in-law, wanting justice for the child. Rightly so. Today, I promise Brother Sen, as long as the child agrees to return to the i Family, any condition will be accepted."
Mr. Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise, frowned and pondered for a mont, it seems the i Family is willing to pay heavily this ti.
The i Family’s eldest only had one son, now causing trouble, the military quarters, the career is basically over, and the future is uncertain. Hence, they thought of Han Yi, the illegitimate child. Han Yi has been alone in the military quarters and camp, earning considerable military rits, who in the district doesn’t know him.
With such an outstanding child, the i Family certainly wants to recognize him back. In the future, he will surely bring honor to the i Family.
The eldest family has i Lang Yi, the second has i Lang Jun. With two rising young generals, the i Family will occupy half the sky in the military world.
i Erqing indeed knows how to calculate.
"The children have grown up, each having their ideas, and the Lin Family’s power has long been given to the eldest. At ho now, I’m nothing but an old man needing their care. Of course, when things co up, I can still say a few words. Anyway, we’re all for the children’s good. This matter, I’ll promise you to help talk about it. However... ultimately, it depends on Han Yi’s decision."
