Chapter 8- How dare you!

The water was now overflowing from Lin Xie's head, he looked at the questioning faces of the Bai family. He was trying hard to control his anger. Then, Bai An came running out of nowhere with the butler following him. He was holding a box full of transformers and toy cars. He shouted, "Hey! Don't meddle in elders' affairs. Come with me. I will take you to a theme park."

"Come with me, and all these toys will be yours." He said, taking a toy car from the box. The little boy slowly calmed down, and Jingwei put him down. He took the car and inspected it. It was a limited Ferrari Toy Car.

"Lin Bao, What do we say when we receive gifts?" Fan Xian asked, coming a little closer to the little boy.

"To hell with your Gift! Here this woman is throwing nets to seduce my father, and you think I care about your gifts." saying so, he threw the toy car on Bai An's face. His forehead started bleeding, but he did not shed a single tear but wiped it up with his blue handkerchief, which Dongmei herself embroidered.

"I don't know who told you all this. But, you should not defame my sister." He spoke in an unexpectedly calm tone.

"If you are my brother-in-law's son. Then I am your uncle."

"Didn't anyone teach you to respect people?" Everyone was left speechless; even Lin Bao could not speak. The lack of words, not knowing what to say, he just took another toy from the box and threw it at him.

"Don't try to look cool." The toy again hit his forehead. Giving another wound on top of it but Bai An did not say speak a word but held his hand and tried to pull him out of the scene, but instead, Lin Bao pushed him to the ground.

Shouyi hurried, picked her son from the ground, and walked away from the main hall as she said, "Mr. Lin, Clear this mess up. I am not letting this slide." Lin Xie was at a loss of words and asked Lin Bao furiously, "How come you are here?"

Before he could answer, Bai Qin came forward and said, "So you accept that this boy is your son. The rumors are proved to be true."

Lin Xie spoke, trying to get a hold of the situation, "I will explain everything. Please give me a moment."

Bai Wenqi tapped his cane on the ground and asked grumpily, "Who is his mother? Your mistress? Your girlfriend? Who is she? come clean with us."

"I will sort it out with you."

"Why must you hide it?"

Lin Xie spoke in a low tone, "My ex-wife!"

After a pause, Wenqi spoke in a very relaxed manner.

"OKAY! No problem, many people marry and get divorced."

"Take this boy away for now. We can't let the time fly!" Bai Wenqi tried to lighten the atmosphere and ignored the disagreeing face of his son.

The conversation already froze Dongmei, earlier; she was eager to look at the decorated main hall. Still, she could only focus on her steps while coming down and only take a few side glances at her house, which looked nothing like her previous mansion.

But now, she could do nothing but hide her tears with her fan, which she found troublesome earlier, her face had turned pale from what she heard.

She couldn't guess that her brave little brother was hurt as he made no sound of a cry. However, she could not believe that her grandfather was unreasonably and unconditionally taking another person's side and not her.

Wasn't he supposed to advocate for her? Take her aside and scold Lin Xie. He had deceived everyone by hiding his first marriage and a living person, his son. She did not blame the little kid but the man to whom the kid belonged.

That little kid had so much hatred and ill words in his heart. She could tell how resentful he was, she had never faced other people who hated her in this way, she was never resented. Wasn't this one of the reasons she agreed to marry the ruthless man? She did not want her grandfather to resent her.

The servants tried to take him away, but he resisted with all his might and even bit one of the servants. He kicked and pushed and shouted, at last, Lin Xie picked him up in his arms and tried to take him outside and calm him. But, he bit his left ear, which started bleeding. He threw him down and gave a tight slap on his face.

The long fingers were imprinted on the fair little cheeks as the boy cried out loud and said, "This is all because of that bi*Ch." He again raised his hand to hit Lin Bao but was stopped by the fair tender little hands of Dongmei. She was still holding her fan, which covered her face, blocking Lin Xie's view.

"What are you doing?" Bai Wenqi scolded her. She gave a side look at him and said in a low, medium tone, "Ask this grown-up man! What is he doing? Everyone knows I can't stand loud voices. Thanks to the Lin Family, my bearing power is low." She said, clenching her teeth.

"Miss Bai, Please don't jump into matters of father and son." Maidservant 1 came to pull her away. Dongmei let his hand go and picked up the boy, who suddenly became calm in her arms, he stopped crying and looked at her with a pitiful gaze.

Lin Xie was taken aback and yelled again, "He just hit your brother, and now you are sympathizing with him." Dongmei did not remove her veil of fan and asked the boy in her arms, "Did you?" He dropped his neck down and nodded with shame.

"I know if you apologize, he will forgive you," she returned to her seat, moved the fan away, and looked at his red face. "He is fierce." She mumbled.

"You don't want me to marry him. Do you? Is it because he is your father?" She asked in a very polite manner.

"Don't mind him." Jingwei jumped between their conversation. Dongmei turned a deaf ear to the old man and continued to look at the little boy with a questioning gaze. Then, afterthought later, Lin Bao nodded. He bounced no sooner than she said, "Okay! I also don't want to marry him now."

Lin Xie did not think twice and spoke, "You must be kidding me!"

"Does Lin's family have no manners?" She asked calmly; this comment offended everyone, and her grandfather scolded her on Jingwei's behalf. "How dare you!"

"The way he dared to hide his first marriage. The way he dared to hit his son and throw him. I did not commit a crime. I have not sinned. Why can't I dare?"

She spoke furiously without raising her voice. The little kid hugged the woman he had called a witch who possessed her father. Dongmei was taken aback, and so were the other people present there.

Lin Xie smirked and said, "Lin Bao, see, what a good woman she is! You also like her!"

"She will be a better mother."

"Now, will you let me marry her?"

Lin Bao did not reply and looked up to Dongmei; his big eyes showed disagreement. That look gave her courage to speak further as she said, "Even if he agrees, I won't."

"I will never marry you! Lin Xie! You are a liar!" She spoke in a low tone that was audible to even her mother, who was coming back to the main hall, followed by Bai An, whose forehead was wrapped with a white bandage.

Wenqi spoke loudly, "You are not the one who can decide."

"Father-in-law, what do you say? Lin Xie indeed has deceived us," she said, approaching Wenqi. To everyone's surprise, he laughed and said, "To err is human."

"You cannot hold him guilty anymore. It is not like he is hiding his first wife. They have already divorced."

"Can't he marry another woman? Is it a crime?" Jingwei shook his head, agreeing to every sentence Wenqi said, and Shouyi also nodded.

"I don't have a tainted record. So why should I marry him?" Dongmei asked as her heart could not stand the betrayal from her family anymore.
