He finally returned to the Lin residence, resigned.
"What's so urgent that you had to call me back?" Lin Zehan walked into the living room and saw his parents sitting on the sofa with grim expressions. Lin Feiwei was radiating energy just moments ago, so he knew this boded no good.
"Lin Zehan, why did you lie to us!" Lin's father threw the paternity test with Ye Wan at his son's feet.
Lin's mother was also crying, questioning, "Is all of this true? Ye Wan isn't my daughter at all; she was just carried by me!"
Lin Zehan glanced at Lin Feiwei, who looked gleeful, and said, "Since you already know, I won't hide it anymore. Yes, Ye Wan isn't your child, nor is she my biological sister. She is indeed the child born through Mother's womb."
Lin's mother couldn't accept this fact. She trembled with anger, completely unaware of how this had happened!
"Lin Zehan, are you insane!" Madam Lin angrily pointed at her son. If she wasn't his biological daughter, why had he brought Ye Wan into the house and deceived her emotions!
"Exactly! Brother even gave a huge inheritance to Ye Wan, an outsider! Brother, what were you thinking?" Lin Feiwei fanned the flames from the side.
"All of you, shut up! Let him speak!" Mr. Lin, having weathered storms before, sharply rebuked his family with a cold face, his gaze fixed on his son.
"You should have all seen it. That was Grandfather's will. Both Ye Wan's birth and the substantial fortune left to her were Grandfather's wishes. I am merely following his dying wish. I was raised by Grandfather since I was young, and his will is like a royal decree to me. I will execute it to the end," Lin Zehan stated the truth earnestly, showing no embarrassment at being exposed.
"Why would your grandfather do this? How dare he decide things for me!" Lin's mother was even more distraught. To have a child implanted and gestured through her womb without her knowledge, and to have it done by her father-in-law, was something she couldn't accept.
"Has Grandfather lost his mind? Why would he do this?" Lin Feiwei found the old man bizarre and had disliked him since she was little.
"You, shut up. Take your mother upstairs. Your brother and I have something to discuss," Mr. Lin commanded with a cold face.
Lin Feiwei wanted to say more, but Mr. Lin gave her a sharp look, and she dared not utter another word. She helped Madam Lin, who had suffered a great shock, upstairs to rest.
"Come to the study with me," Mr. Lin said, then stood up and walked towards the study.
Lin Zehan followed.
Lin Feiwei had wanted to eavesdrop on their father-son conversation, but now it was completely impossible.
Inside the study.
Mr. Lin asked, "Are you telling the truth? Did your grandfather really instruct you like this?"
What kind of obligation would make his father make such a great sacrifice? Using his own daughter-in-law's womb to gestate a child for someone else, and then giving most of the family fortune to that child.
"Yes, that's what Grandfather said. Grandfather said I must protect that child well. Grandfather passed away from shock after knowing Lin Feiwei wasn't Ye Wan," Lin Zehan said.
"In that case, what was given to her will remain hers. From now on, she will have no further relationship with the Lin family," Mr. Lin felt that the Lin family had already given Ye Wan enough. Shares, money, and houses had all been given, which he considered fulfilling his father's dying wish.
"Alright, I understand." Lin Zehan didn't say much more to his father. It would be useless. Fortunately, he had already provided Ye Wan with sufficient wealth.
