My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses 40 TIT FOR TAT PART 13

"You are telling me to apologize to her?!" Ge Guiren was trembling in anger. 'I'm the mightiest Ge Guiren, the elder of the Ge Family. This little brat wants me to apologize to that shitty girl!? How dare he?' He never bowed down to anyone. He had no reason to bow down this time either.

Ge Chen's eyes dangerously narrowed. He created pressure around him. Everyone could feel that the temperature of the room suddenly dropped. He coldly said, "I would have told Lin to apologize if she was making a mistake. However, whatever she said is all true. You didn't do anything for my sake since the day I was born. Why do you think I will help you now to take care of your company? That company has nothing to do with me."

Ge Guiren's anger rose. "This is the company of your father? How can you say that?"

Ge Chen's expression didn't change. "But he gave that company to his illegitimate child. I gain nothing from that company."

Ge Guiren scolded his grandson, "How can you talk about your father like that? Did that wi*ch brainwash you?" His gaze fell on Xue Lin who was held by her husband.

Xue Lin became even more furious. "What did you say?"

Ge Chen hardened his expression. "If he didn't cheat on my mother, made her sick, forced her to leave and kicked me out, I would have thought of him as my father. What did he do for me to get my support?"

Ge Guiren used his last resort. "But he is your family. His blood runs through your body."

Ge Chen's arms loosened a bit and Xue Lin took the chance. She could get a little closer and grabbed Ge Guiren by his collar. She forcefully pulled him close to her. Ge Guiren wasn't ready for it. He stumbled and got closer.

Xue Lin gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, you old hag, I heard enough of your nonsense. I know your brain is filled with filthy garbage. Let me clear that dirty brain of yours. Family doesn't end in blood, but it doesn't start there either. Family cares about you, not what you can do for them. A family is there through the good, bad, all of it. They got your back even when it hurts. That's family."

She warned Ge Guiren as she glared, "Now if you think you still have the right to speak to my husband like that, then there's nothing I can do. But let me tell you this once and for all. If you dare to mess up with us again, I'll never let you die peacefully. You'll regret that you ever let me see your face."

She learned the quotation about the family from a television show Supernatural when she was in high school. At that time, her family isolated her. She was in despair. When she heard that definition of a family, her heart was moved.

She realized at that time that just because you were born in their family, didn't mean that you are part of them. If they didn't care about you, you didn't need to care about them at all. Because they never thought of you as their family member.

There were people around her, they weren't related to her by blood but they assisted her to be social again, they helped her to be her old self, they took her out of the protective barrier of her family and aided her to see the world what she couldn't do when she was with her family.

That's when she decided that she would love the people who loved her and she would be rough with the people who are rough towards her. In short, she would give people the same treatment she got from them.

She will never forget the lesson she was taught.

Xue Lin glanced at Su Fengfei. Su Fengfei flinched. He hoped that she wasn't going to scold him as well.

To his surprise, she told him, "Grandpa, I know this damn geezer is your friend. But I have my self-esteem. I cannot stay or eat in the same place this geezer stays. I might end up killing him."

"…" Su Fengfei didn't know what to say.

However, Xue Lin didn't have the energy to wait for his answer. She felt dizzy and her body swayed. She lost her strength and she couldn't breathe properly. She tried to inhale but she still lacked oxygen. She collapsed in Ge Chen's arms.

"Lin!" Ge Chen was shocked. He didn't think that she would lose consciousness.

Xue Lin's eyes slowly closed. Before she became unconscious, she saw her husband's worried expression as he called out her name.

'How strange… I never thought that someone would look at me like that…' This was the last thing she thought.
