Chapter 1029 - 508: Mother and Daughter Turn Against Each Other? Step by Step Pressing Closer (2)

But before Su Jianfan could finish his words.

Lin Zimo already had a stern face and said seriously.

"Officer Su, this matter is a family affair and has nothing to do with you. So I hope you can refrain from intervening and let me handle it myself."

Also noticing the other party’s resolute attitude.

Luo Fei gave Su Jianfan a signal.

Su Jianfan stopped speaking.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Zimo also said seriously.

"Mom, I know how hard it is for you and Dad to raise me. You both have sacrificed so much over the years, so I’ve always been grateful, always keeping your kindness to me in my heart."

"But now I’m an adult, and I have the right to know where I come from. I just want to know these things and understand why Jin Hongwen is always inexplicably attentive to me. I’m not saying I want to play father and daughter with him."

"Or is it that in the eyes of you and Dad, I’m the kind of bad child who would return to my biological father’s side and abandon you after recognizing him?"

As Lin Zimo spoke, a hint of confusion and disappointment flashed in her eyes.

This made her mother open her mouth.

But she was speechless for quite a while.

Because she understood deep down.

Over the years, she had been very good to Lin Zimo, demanding strictness from her.

She didn’t want her daughter to become someone like Jin Hongwen.

Yet, at the same time, she was competing with herself.

She wanted to prove that she’s a good parent, much better than Jin Hongwen.

She feared that after losing the ability to bear children, she’d also lose her only daughter. This would make her collapse.

Because her daughter was her pride and a crucial way for her to prove herself.

"Mom, I haven’t done poorly over these years, have I? Have I always listened to you and Dad? I’ve never let you down with my academic performance. Even in college, I’m the best in my class."

"But now, you want to deprive me of the right to know where I come from. Have you really considered my feelings and respected me?"

"Or do you just see me as a way to prove you’re a good mother?"

Because of this case investigation with Luo Fei.

Lin Zimo witnessed too many ugliness in human nature.

But compared to the Tang family daughter, who was driven to hang herself by her mother’s pressure.

Even in death, she’s used as a tool to make money by her mother.

Thankfully, I’m waking up now, not too late.

Luckily though, it’s Lin Zimo’s mother, not someone else.

She’s kind-hearted and soft inside.

Therefore, seeing her daughter’s utterly disappointed look.

She hurriedly looked for an excuse.

"Daughter, I understand what you mean. But since you already have the identification report, maybe other issues aren’t as important anymore."

"Your dad specifically cooked tonight for you. Why don’t we go home and talk there?"

But upon hearing the other party’s request.

Lin Zimo seriously said.

"Mom, I can’t go back, because I’m not someone who just always listens to you."

"Just because you show weakness doesn’t mean I must listen to you completely."

"Otherwise, when I’m working in the future or on a business trip, are you also going to pretend to be sick or weak so that I must rush back to see you?"

Lin Zimo’s counter-question made her mother feel like she didn’t recognize her.

If it were any typical parent, they would have already said the child is rebelling and perhaps even delivered a slap.

But for Lin Mu, this meant her educational failure.

It’s the years of control and silent pressure under the surface making Lin Zimo bear too much.

Moreover, aside from this matter, her daughter does everything perfectly. She’s impeccable; she’s excellent in studies, polite, and filial. She even secretly took up jobs during school to earn money to buy her mom birthday gifts...

So when Lin Zimo began to be independent, realizing she could resist, there was a significant backlash when she still spoke.

Also noticing the other party’s sense of loss.

Luo Fei suggested.

"Ma’am, Miss Lin is a good girl."

"But you both need to calm down and compromise a bit. Otherwise, once you get home, you and your husband might habitually require her to compromise again."

"So, I think you should calm down."

Su Jianfan also said from the side.

"Yes ma’am, we have space in our dormitory, why not let Miss Lin stay at the task force for the night? Once she figures things out, she’ll be home."

"Yes, I also need to meet Jin Hongwen. I must face him and question why he abandoned me and didn’t acknowledge me all these years."

Seeing the other party’s earnestness.

She’s serious at this point too.

The old mother took a deep breath.

"I understand, just take care of yourself."

"Jin Hongwen... he actually has many difficulties. Your biological mother also struggled. They’re both people with tragic fates."

Mother said, taking a cab, preparing to leave.

She didn’t look at Lin Zimo before leaving.

But it’s not out of disappointment, but fear.

Because she suddenly realized.

Over the years, Lin Zimo was her pride, as well as satisfying her narcissistic tendencies and sense of accomplishment.

But meanwhile, the other party was continually obedient and compliant.

She hadn’t considered the other’s dignity and feelings.

This made her feel guilty, like she owed the other, but she didn’t dare to admit it.

Especially in front of outsiders, there’s no way to maintain her image, and her face would be flushed.

"Miss Lin, are you okay?"

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei reminded.

Lin Zimo, however, leaning against his shoulder in her agitation, couldn’t help but sob.

Seeing Lin Zimo was very upset.

Clearly finding the outcome unbelievable.

Luo Fei could only console her.

"Miss Lin, this matter isn’t really your fault. You don’t need to blame yourself."

Understanding Luo Fei’s intention.

He was comforting her.

Lin Zimo shook her head.

"Mr. Luo, I appreciate your understanding. However, I might not be able to meet Jin Hongwen tonight. I’ll talk about it after waking up tomorrow morning. It seems like I need to stay at the task force for the night."

Seeing Lin Zimo turn towards the dormitory.

Li Yu and Yang Mei guided her there.

Luo Fei dialed the number he just got from Hu Xueli.

"Hello? Is this Boss Huang?"

Hearing it was Luo Fei.

Plus, he called again.

Boss Huang felt a bit embarrassed and proactively apologized.

"Officer, sorry about that, I was just caught up with work earlier and forgot to return your call. I really hope you won’t mind."

Boss Huang spoke with several hints of remorse in his tone.

But Luo Fei could obviously tell the other was pretending to be nonchalant.

Though he outwardly remained composed.

"Boss Huang, about the matter I asked you earlier, have you considered it? Will you take the initiative to meet me or should the police come to find you?"

"Mr. Luo, please don’t hurry. Regarding Miss Hu and her father’s situation, I sympathize deeply, but that doesn’t automatically imply I’m connected to their situation, does it?"

"Without direct evidence, how can you rashly conclude? Isn’t this akin to slander?"

Seeing the other party doubtfully responding this way, yet his tone obviously intended to provoke.

Luo Fei responded with a smile.

"Mr. Huang, I’m not drawing conclusions, just asking if you’d be willing to volunteer for an investigation."

"Or are you feeling guilty, afraid to face us?"

At this point, Luo Fei also sent the other a text message.

"Moreover, guess who was recently diagnosed with a critical illness and urgently needs money?"

"And who, when this mother and son were in danger, chose to lend a hand and save them?"

Luo Fei’s investigation results left the other silent for a long while.

Also realizing Luo Fei’s intention.

Boss Huang shook his head with a chuckling.

"Officer, what do you mean by this? Are you perhaps threatening me?"

"Not at all, I’m merely stating facts. But if you refuse to cooperate, then that’s a threat."
