Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lin Zhiyan’s small face suddenly became panicked, her eyes filled with unease and fear.

Unconsciously, she tightly held Nan Yan’s hand, trembling all over.

Nan Yan furrowed her brows slightly. “What’s wrong?”

“She’s here… she’S here again…” Lin Zhiyan’s face turned pale, and her words became incoherent. “I don’t want to see her, make her leave!”

“Who?”

This person must have caused great harm to Lin Zhiyan to leave such deep-rooted fear in her. Just by hearing her voice, it could make Lin Zhiyan so terrified.

“My grandmother… she’s very wicked, very wicked!” Lin Zhiyan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resistance and dread.

Nan Yan gently patted her back and spoke in a soothing voice. “Don’t be afraid,

I’ll accompany you down. With me here, she won’t be able to bully you.”

Lin Zhiyan shook her head, her pale face serious. “No, she will curse and say very unpleasant things…”

“I don’t want you to be cursed too.”

“It’s okay.”

Nan Yan helped her stand up and said leisurely, “If she dares to insult me, I can make her mute.”

Lin Zhiyan paused, a glimmer of vengeful hatred appeared in her eyes. “Good, make her mute!”

Mrs. Lin was cooking in the kitchen and couldn’t hear the commotion. It was a servant who ran over to inform her that her mother-in -law, Grandma Lin, had arrived.

Although she was very annoyed, she couldn’t ignore her presence and had to go and attend to her. She handed the cooking duties to the chef and quickly wiped her hands, took off her apron, and hurriedly went to the front hall.

She was afraid that if she were a little slower, her daughter would be bullied by her mother-in -law again.

Nan Yan and Lin Zhiyan came downstairs.

They saw an elderly woman, dressed in extravagant clothes with a large gold necklace around her neck and large gold bracelets on her wrists, sitting arrogantly on the sofa in the living room.

She was commanding the servants to serve her tea and water while using offensive language to insult Mrs. Lin and Lin Zhiyan.

“She’s just a short-lived ghost who owes debts, yet you all are carrying her like a treasure every day. She will die sooner or later. Why waste money on her?”

“I shouldn’t have agreed back then to bring her back from the hospital. We should have just drowned her.”

“Wen Shuhua, let me tell you this today, you’re not allowed to spend any more money on her treatment. Don’t waste my son’s hard-earned money!”

Wen Shuhua was Mrs. Lin’S name.

Lin Zhiyan gritted her teeth, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Nan Yan listened to those malicious words, and her face darkened.

No wonder Lin Zhiyan was so afraid of her.

This grandmother must have said these things in front of Lin Zhiyan countless times, causing her such deep- rooted fear.

To a congenital heart disease patient, it was already difficult enough to survive, constantly struggling against the illness, fighting through the gates of death.

And as a grandmother, her vicious words were like a stab to Lin Zhiyan’s heart, crushing her will to live.

It was a miracle that Lin Zhiyan had survived to this age.

Visibly, Lin Zhiyan, who had been making some progress, rapidly declined in her condition.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, as if she couldn’t stand steadily, her body swaying, on the verge of fainting at any moment.

Nan Yan placed her hand on Lin Zhiyan’s shoulder, making her look up at her.

“Lin Zhiyan, I want you to control your inner demons, defeat them. This is the first test if you want to become my friend.”

“Think about your parents, they love you more than anything, doing everything they can to keep you alive. They are the ones who truly care about you. Do you want to hurt the people who deeply care for you because of someone who dislikes you?”

“You need to learn to ignore them, not care about these malicious words. Treat them as if they mean nothing.”

The serene words echoed in Lin Zhiyan’s ears, and her heart, which had been suffocating, slowly relaxed. In her eyes, determination resurfaced.

That’s right!

If she died, this old woman would not shed a single tear.

The ones who were truly in pain were her parents!

Her parents did not want a second child because of her. They gave her all their love. She had to be strong and work hard to get better so that she could accompany them for the rest of her life!

After thinking it through, the emotions that would make her want to die immediately when she heard these words in the past disappeared.

“Yan Yan, I know what to do now!” Lin Zhiyan gritted her teeth and took a step towards Grandma Lin.

Grandma Lin saw Lin Zhiyan and couldn’t hide her dislike, speaking maliciously, “Debt collector, why haven’t you died in the hospital? Why are you still alive? Are you not enough of a burden to your father? If it weren’t for you, my son would have had a son long ago!”

“It’S all your fault. If you had died a long time ago, I would have had a grandson by now!”

Lin Zhiyan, this time, did not cower. She raised her chin and said loudly, “Why should I die? You’re still alive and well at your age. I’m younger, and I will definitely live longer than you.”

“You wretched thing, are you cursing me to die? I’ll beat you to death, you little wench!”

Grandma Lin was furious, her expression twisted as she lunged towards Lin Zhiyan.

Lin Zhiyan didn’t know what to do in the face of Grandma Lin charging at her. She stood still, closing her eyes tightly.

Seeing Grandma Lin about to pounce on her, Nan Yan reached out and pulled Lin Zhiyan to her side.

Grandma Lin missed her target and fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

“Yanyan!”

Mrs. Lin screamed in shock and rushed over in a panic.

“Yanyan, did she hurt you?”

Mrs. Lin first looked Lin Zhivan up and down, then held her tightly in her

arms. “Don’t be afraid, Mom is here, don’t be afraid!”

Lin Zhiyan came back to her senses and hugged Mrs. Lin. “Mom, I’m fine…”

Grandma Lin sat on the ground, crying and howling, “You wicked brat, how dare you hit your own grandmother! You’re going to be struck by lightning!”

Mrs. Lin let go of Lin Zhiyan, unable to tolerate her mother-in-law cursing her daughter like that, and sternly said, “Mother, Lin Zhiyan is not a short-lived ghost!”

“Fine! Both of you mother and daughter gang up on me, trying to bully this old lady in my son’s house, huh!”

Lin Zhenye returned home and saw this scene.

His mother was throwing a tantrum on the ground, his wife and daughter, along with an exceptionally beautiful girl, standing not far away.

The servants had long been scared and were hiding, afraid to approach.

Upon seeing Lin Zhenye return, Grandma Lin said, “Zhenye, you finally came back! Your mother is being bullied by your wicked wife. Aren’t you going to do something about it?”

Lin Zhenye strode in and immediately checked on Mrs. Lin and Lin Zhiyan, asking with concern, “Are you both okay?”

“We’re fine…” Mrs. Lin shook her head with a bitter smile. “You should go and persuade your mother to leave. We don’t want to create a spectacle in front of Miss Nan.”

“I’m not leaving. This is my son’s home. Why should I leave?” Lin’S mother retorted defiantly..
