Lin Bei, of course, didn’t know, why would he care about the woman he divorced, and also returned to her original planet.
If he had investigated, he would not have dared to bring Lin Zimao back.
At first, he thought Lin Zimao was easy to control, but now he is like a runaway horse, causing chaos, the Lin family is now in the midst of a storm because of his actions.
Lin Bei is willing to deal with high-ranking officials of the Alliance government, but not in such a torturous way.
He doesn’t know how much Lin Zimao knows about Lin You, he also didn’t know where he learned about it, even if he asked Lin Zimao, he wouldn’t tell him, Lin Bei now needs to stop Lin Zimao from continuing to be stupid, even if he has not disclosed that Lin Zimao is a member of the Lin family, but the majority of netizens will know about it sooner or later, there is no impermeable wall in the world.
Lin Bei said displeasedly: “What’s the point of mentioning your mother?”
The corner of Lin Zimao’s mouth revealed an ironic smile: “You don’t want to know what happened after she left planet Feige? There is a saying, husband and wife for one day share a hundred years of concern1一夜夫妻百日恩 (yīyè fūqī bǎi rì ēn): A day together as busband and wife means endless devotaion the rest of your life; once a couple establishes a relationship, their deep relationship will last forever..”
When Lin Bei’s mood fluctuated, Lin Zifeng said: “I want to know what happened after you left planet Feige.”
Lin Zimao summarized: “Sixteen years ago, the civilian starship we were on was robbed by space pirates, but the Alliance didn’t send anyone for rescue and never reported this incident, Lin Bei, do you not know anything?”
Lin Bei looked at Lin Zimao in disbelief: “What did you call me?”
Lin Zimao said: “Is there a problem? I call you Lin Bei, as far as I am concerned, you only contributed to my birth, never raised me, asking me to call you father, don’t you feel ashamed, don’t you feel terrible?”
Lin Zifeng frowned, becoming more and more ashamed of his father’s behavior, and said: “Dad, don’t you even care about what happened to Aunt Xu and Zimao back then?”
Lin Bei: “Aren’t you still alive and well!”
Lin Zimao put on a fake smile2皮笑肉不笑 (pí xiào ròu bù xiào): to put on a fake smile (idiom); to smile insincerely; smile hypocritically/sinisterly; force/manage a smile., and said: “Yes, I am alive and well, I didn’t die, aren’t you happy?”
Lin Bei was a little angry: “If she hadn’t insisted on taking you away, you wouldn’t have run into the space pirates, she’s just a stubborn woman!”
He had heard all about Lin You, no longer wanted to talk to this man who had no feelings for his mother.
Originally, he didn’t expect anything from him, but looking at him directly, he felt that having such a father would be even worse.
“That’s what you said about your ex-wife, you really opened my eyes.”
Lin Zimao stood up, didn’t intend to continue chatting with Lin Bei, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold back from punching him.
If his parents’ relationship had simply broken down, he might not have asked too many questions, but for his biological father to waste no time to slander his ex-wife, it truly showed a complete lack of decency, no wonder Lin You would abandon the Lin family back then.
Before Lin Zimao left, he added: “Actually, I don’t want to have anything to do with your Lin family, it’s best to get rid of me as well.”
Lin Zifeng had no choice but to persuade: “Zimao, let’s go first.”
If he continues talking, his dad will probably faint from anger, he’s mostly disappointed with his dad.
The reason why Lin Bei was angry was not because he brought up old things again3舊事重提 (jiù shì chóng tí): T/N: May or may not be a typo for the idiom, 重提舊事 (chóng tí jiù shì), to raise the same old topic again; to hark back; to bring up things that have been put aside again; talking about past events or situations again., but because Lin Zimao’s accusation made him lose control and made him lose face in front of his eldest son.
Under Lin Bei’s glare, Lin Zimao and Lin Zifeng left the study.
After Lin Zimao came downstairs, he took Jiang Xuan’s hand and walked out: “Let’s go.”
Jiang Xuan held Lin Zimao’s hand back, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood, his face also looked very bad.
Bai Meiying sat there awkwardly4不尷不尬 (bù gān bù gà): to be caught in a fix; in an awkward position; in an awkward predicament; in a quandary; in an embarrassing situation., now that she saw them coming down, she wanted to ask a few questions to narrow the distance, who would’ve thought that both of them would treat her as if she were invisible, it made her feel frustrated and annoyed, each one is a bunch of worthless dogs with no proper upbringing!
Lin Zifeng sent Lin Zimao to the car and said to Jiang Xuan: “Talk to him properly, he needs you now.”
Lin Zimao rolled his eyes on him: “Big brother, you go back, don’t worry about me.”
Lin Zifeng chuckled: “Just how angry you are with dad, I’m really not at ease about you, I’ll go up and get some news from you, go back and get some rest, I’ll find you for lunch tomorrow.”
Lin Zimao nodded: “Okay, I know.”
Lin Zifeng helped him without asking why, it can be seen that he treat himself sincerely.
After the two of them left the Lin family, Jiang Xuan said: “The Lu family has always had a good family tradition, your brother’s mother is good at educating children, he has not been exposed to the unhealthy tendencies5不正之風 (bù zhèng zhī fēng): unhealthy tendency; dishonest practices; bad/dishonest practice; Unfair social ethos. of the Lin family.”
Lin Zimao thought for a moment and said: “My mother said that he loved hugging me when he was a child.”
Jiang Xuan chuckled: “It’s a pity that I didn’t meet you when I was little, I kinda envy Lin Zifeng.”
Lin Zimao: “Then you can’t hug me either, I’m one year old and you’re only two, you haven’t even walked steadily yet.”
Jiang Xuan: “Well, I’m walking steadily now, so I can hug you.”
Lin Zimao thought about the two-year-old Jiang Xuan hugging his one-year-old self for a moment, and then he collapsed on his seat laughing.
Jiang Xuan asked him: “What did you guys talk about up there?”
The door to the study is soundproofed, so even if there was a fight, he couldn’t hear it from downstairs.
Lin Zimao told the story of Lin You’s split with the Lin family, but did not mention the subsequent encounter with the space pirate.
“Lin You actually went out on his own to set up his own household, and everything he did actually had nothing to do with the Lin family.”
“Yes, back then, the Alliance canceled all the preferential treatment given to him in the name of his betrayal, and regarded him as the most wanted space pirate, all of this should be hard to find out, I wonder if the Alliance will directly bring this up in the next step, what will be restored is not Lin You’s reputation, but his identity as a space pirate.”
Jiang Xuan: “Then I will go back and ask Great-grandfather again, can I ask you why you insist on helping him?”
Lin Zimao said: “To me, he is like a reborn father, on the contrary, my biological father is greedy for life and afraid of death6貪生怕死 (tān shēng pà sǐ): greedy for life, afraid of death (idiom); (derogatory) to cravenly cling to life and fear death; to be cowardly and afraid of death; clinging abjectly to life; only interested in saving one’s neck; live dishonorably in fear of death; care for nothing but saving one’s skin., and lacks integrity.”
Jiang Xuan: “Then, is he still alive now or has he passed away?”
Lin Zimao shook his head: “I don’t know.”
Jiang Xuan came to a conclusion: “So, you are looking for him.”
Lin Zimao: “Um, if he’s still alive, he might be able to see me, if he’s gone, it doesn’t matter, I don’t regret what I’ve done.”
There are still three weeks left before the announcement time given by the Alliance.
Lin Zimao’s original intention was naturally to clear Lin You’s name, but it’s possible that the Alliance won’t do what he wants.
Lin Bei would look for him today, it must be because they know that Lin Zimao was a member of the Lin family, they first investigated his intentions, and then make a decision on whether or not they would honor his name.
Jiang Xuan had a flash of inspiration: “The Alliance will definitely wonder, did Lin You wants to make a comeback7卷土重來 (juǎn tǔ chóng lái): lit. to return in a swirl of dust (idiom); fig. to regroup and come back even stronger; to make a comeback; to stage a comeback after regaining one’s strength.? So they will look for Lin You, and you’re trying to use the Alliance to help you look for Lin You?”
Lin Zimao leaned forward and kissed Jiang Xuan: “As expected of Senior, a hint is all that is needed.”
In fact, it can be inferred from the information revealed by Lin Zimao, Jiang Xuan is not stupid.
Lin You’s life or death is uncertain, Lin Zimao didn’t know his movements either, but there must be a reason for everything he is doing now, which was to force Lin You out, why did he want to force Lin You out?
Jiang Xuan was confused: “You now know that Lin You was a wanted space pirate back then, perhaps the Alliance hasn’t revoked this article yet, how can he possibly come back?”
Lin Zimao: ” Therefore, we can’t let the Alliance decide that he is a space pirate.”
Jiang Xuan thought that what Lin Zimao mentioned at the beginning was Lin You’s past achievements, in the past few decades, people’s minds have been changing, and they will not blindly listen to the opinions of a certain political party, what Lin Zimao is betting on is not the attitude of the Alliance, but the feedback of the public.
Now that the Alliance did not immediately jump out and brand Lin You as a space pirate, it means that there is still a turning point.
However, in whose hands does the turning point lies, it’s still unclear.
When the two of them arrived home, they petted the cat together for a while, and got intimate for a while before getting ready to take a bath and rest.
Jiang Xuan felt that Lin Zimao might need some personal space, so he didn’t go to his room.
But when he didn’t go, Lin Zimao ran to the third floor wearing a set of light green pajamas and asked him doubtfully: “Why aren’t you sleeping with me?”
Jiang Xuan, of course, hasn’t slept yet, he was reading papers related to mechas on his communicator.
He patted the side of the bed: “Sleep here?”
Lin Zimao didn’t mean to be pretentious at all, he climbed directly onto the bed, and after lying down, he moved directly to Jiang Xuan’s side.
The smell of jasmine-scented shower gel on Jiang Xuan’s body makes him feel at ease, he put his hands around Jiang Xuan’s waist.
“Sleeping in Senior Jiang’s bed is extremely satisfying, those people would envy me to death.”
“Those people who call you Lin Zai must also envy me to death, it’s me he’s hugging, not someone else.”
“Hehehe.” Lin Zimao rubbed his forehead against his waist, “I’m sleepy.”
“You sleep first? I still have three pages to read.”
“Um, then you give me a kiss.”
Jiang Xuan lowered his head and kissed his forehead, put a hand on his shoulder and stroked it gently.
After a while, Lin Zimao fell asleep.
Jiang Xuan had to sigh that the quality of his sleep was pretty good, no, it should be due to his ability to coax people to sleep.
He thought to himself, he could also coax people.
After Jiang Xuan put Lin Zimao to sleep, the lights in the room were also adjusted to sleep mode brightness.
In fact, he was still very energetic, and his mind was thinking about Lin Zimao’s search for Lin You, why must he find Lin You?
Lin You is his reborn father, what happened between them?
Has Lin Zimao really been living on planet Alpha?
From the fact that he can operate mechas, able to command, and assemble mechas, none of this seemed like something a teenager living on planet Alpha all year round can do, his only eighteen years old, and his nineteenth birthday is yet to come.
Lin Zimao still has some secrets that he doesn’t know about, he was so curious, like opening a gift box, he was looking forward to it, but at the same time he was also uneasy.
Lin Zimao gave him a feeling of uncertainty.
After Jiang Xuan lay down, he hugged Lin Zimao to his side.
He asked almost silently: “You won’t disappear suddenly like Lin You, will you?”
Perhaps this was the reason why he must have been worrying about gains and losses before.
He was afraid that Lin Zimao would suddenly disappear.
