CHAPTER 633: CHAPTER 633: THE DECISION THAT PUTS THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE

His fingers were interlaced, still showing no intention of speaking personally, "Wife, I am really waiting for you to say that I’m an irresponsible brother, so I can only leave it to you."

Now was the best opportunity, if not now, the misunderstanding would only grow.

Suddenly, I realized that maybe Yu Longting truly wanted to treat me as family by letting Yu Rongling fully see me as such, so he wanted me to explain, "Rongling, living in the Lin Family Loft is a woman named... Qing Li, she is..."

The one who reacted the most wasn’t Yu Rongling, even before I had finished speaking, the girl whose wrist I was holding trembled like a sieve.

The already cold wrist turned even colder, as if devoid of any warmth.

I paused, gently patted the back of the girl’s head, and said deliberately to Yu Rongling, "Qing Li is the reincarnation of your and Yu Longting’s mother."

"How is that possible... She’s a lunatic, and she was even involved with Lin Gang... she..." Yu Rongling rejected the notion loudly, as if hearing a joke, but his expression dramatically changed when he mentioned Lin Gang.

In those silent seconds, I seemed to hear the sound of a childish snake’s glass heart shattering.

I saw Yu Rongling looking up helplessly at his brother, his voice trembling heavily as he asked, "Brother, tell me, what sister-in-law said isn’t true, right?"

"Face the reality," Yu Longting said lightly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

But my heart tightened slightly, always feeling that he was pretending. Yu Longting always hid his negative emotions very well, enduring and suffering silently.

In front of others, he always appeared strong and calm, resolving everything.

Compared to Yu Rongling’s outward display of collapse and grievance, I was more worried about Yu Longting’s mental state.

"You all knew since the beginning that mom was in the Lin family, and you... you kept it from me??" Baby Rongling was greatly distressed and ran out of the restaurant crying, "Boo hoo hoo, you all are mean, all bullying me."

"Yu Longting, is it... okay for him to run out like that?" I asked Yu Longting, concerned as I watched Yu Rongling’s pitiful retreating figure.

Yu Longting: "He’s not a sheltered young lady; what, could someone abduct him? Let him cool off by himself."

"Dumbass is impulsive by nature, you should still go check on him, in case... in case he goes seeking Qing Li for confirmation, that would be really bad," I suggested.

I was afraid that Yu Er, not thinking, would rush off to the Lin Family, which was no joking matter.

It wouldn’t always be as lucky as last time, when a monster brazenly barged into the Lin Family and still managed to escape unscathed.

Yu Longting ruffled his elegantly short hair in frustration, reluctantly stepping out the door, "Since it’s a command from the wife, I’ll go check it out, to prevent him from doing something foolish."

In the restaurant, only Elder Zhang, the girl who came to deliver clothes to the Lin Family, and I remained.

The oilcloth packet on the table presumably contained the Rat Immortal’s clothes sent by Lin Huan.

"Xintu?" I squatted down to be at eye level with the girl.

The girl’s gaze coldly flicked a nod.

My voice was extremely gentle as I asked, "Can you come upstairs and talk with me alone?"

"Is there any point?" Lin Xintu asked softly.

I pursed my lips, paused for two seconds, "As your sister-in-law, I command you to come upstairs with me."

A hot tear slid from the corner of Lin Xintu’s eye, silently hitting the floor.

Elder Zhang had been an observer; now, as if struck by shock, he stood frozen.

The firmness in his eyes trembled slightly.

Without further explanation, I took Lin Xintu upstairs.

After closing the door of the dorm room, we both sat on the edge of the bed, ready for a prolonged conversation, "Can you tell me about it? Your relation with Lin Xinmei."

"This body is mine," Lin Xintu said with her head down slowly, pressing randomly on a painful spot on her forehead, "Although Lin Xinmei can hear what happens outside while inside this body, and even occasionally fights with me for control over it, especially at night when I fall asleep."

Actually, the whole incident was exactly as Lin Xinmei had originally reported.

Only Lin Xinmei had inverted the truth, attributing the deeds of Lin Xintu to herself.

Lin Xintu knew Lin Gang had trapped both her grandfather and my mother in the Pill Room after luring me to the Lin Family in City A.

She had tried everything to stop Yu Longting and me from going back.

Those mists, the Paper Man bearing a child, it was all Lin Xintu’s doing.

But then Yu Longting had gone to see Lin Hang, and Lin Xintu’s control over her body had been seized by Lin Xinmei.

Moreover, because of a talisman from Yu Longting.

Lin Xintu was completely sealed inside her own body, resulting in Lin Xinmei appearing thereafter.

"After you left, grandpa thoroughly investigated everything and cleared my name. Xinmei’s soul was executed by grandpa."

Lin Xintu, like a soulless Wooden Man, sat motionless on the edge of the bed.

I found the Blood Splendor Robe and draped it over Lin Xintu’s shoulders, pinching her empty sleeve with some heartache, "I’m sorry, it was all my reckless fault, I never considered that this body was yours too."
