"So I am responsible for your mother's condition today." Father Lin turned around, his eyes deep and frustrated.
"Every time she does something bad, I can't help but think of the time she risked her life for me." Lin's father lowered his head. "Even though so many years have passed, I already know that it might not be love, but it was still a life after all."
"So no matter what she does, you can forgive her." Lin Fan finally understood the reason. "So she knows you won't leave her, no matter what she does."
"I could tolerate everything she did, but I didn't expect that she would hurt you in the end." Dad Lin shook his head, his voice full of pain.
"When I was young, I only cared about making money. I didn't expect your mother's personality to become more and more flamboyant. I thought that as long as my wife and children were well fed and well clothed, it would be enough. I didn't expect that it would have such an impact on your psychology." This was what the psychologist had analyzed to Lin's father before.
People of their age don’t even know about mental health.
"My whole life, I have been entangled with your mother, and you are well-behaved and sensible, so your father will ignore you unconsciously. You are also a child who needs attention." Dad Lin's voice was sad, but many things are over and it is too late to talk about them anymore.
"When you were in school, I was always busy outside. Then my business failed, and I was immersed in my own frustration... When I woke up, you had already chosen a university in another province and left home."
"I realized something was wrong then, but I didn't know what it was. It wasn't until you graduated and started working away from home that I realized you wanted to escape. My neglect hurt you." Lin's father sniffed and said with tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry."
Lin Fan was shocked. She had never thought that Father Lin would apologize to her.
Father Lin wasn't the one who hurt her directly. He was simply absent, a bystander, a distant presence. He made her feel like she had a father but also like she didn't have one.
Lin Fan thought he would be filled with a thousand thoughts, but in the end, he felt only a heavy bitterness. His nose was sore, his eyes were sore, but there were no tears.
"My indulgence of your mother is actually hurting you. I only realized this after you became ill." Father Lin sniffed again, "But I don't know what to do. I can only take your mother away and keep her away from you."
"But, no matter how bad your mother is, she really misses you and her feelings for you are genuine. I will always miss you too... I'm afraid she won't be able to change her personality until she dies. In the end, she can only let you down. Sigh..."
Father Lin sighed deeply, "It's all my fault. I failed to protect you well."
"You were so cute and well-behaved when you were little, you were your father's treasure," said Father Lin, shaking his head. "How did we lose you?"
After saying that, he actually started to cry softly.
Lin Fan understood that before Lin Dad, Lin Mom's life always hung on the line. No matter what Lin Mom did, she would be forgiven in the end.
So from the moment Lin's mother drank the pesticide, the outcome was already determined.
What could transcend life? Unless she died because of Lin Ma, then Lin Ma's life would be truly offset by Lin Dad's.
But she is living a good life now, and there is no need to do stupid things for inexplicable revenge.
So, forget it.
Lin Fan sighed deeply and said to his father, "Dad, don't think about it. It's all in the past. Look, I'm doing fine now, aren't I?"
She pulled her hand out of her pocket, then put it back in, but ultimately didn't take it out and put it on Lin's father.
"Yes, yes, you're a completely different person this time. I feel like I'm seeing the old you." Father Lin quickly wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "My colleagues are also very nice and will accompany you back."
"They are actually bodyguards." Lin Fan decided to tell his father part of the truth.
"What?" Lin's father was stunned.
"Because I insisted on coming back, the company assigned me bodyguards to protect my safety. That's why they have been with me all the time." Lin Fan was not lying.
One of the reasons Cui Yan gave them all a holiday was to protect Lin Fan. After all, Lin Fan was still in a very weak state.
Father Lin opened his eyes wide and was stunned for a long time before he said, "I see, that makes sense."
What they said at noon might have been enough to fool Lin's mother, but Lin's father was an old businessman and he found it strange anyway. He chose not to ask any further questions because he believed his daughter.
"So you are very important now? I remember you were developing something?" Father Lin asked seriously, worried about his daughter's safety.
"Yes, it's very important. I can't talk about the development stuff, but I'm very important." Lin Fan said, "And my salary is not the 300,000 yuan I mentioned before."
"Is it one million?" Lin's father breathed a sigh of relief. "When you said the boss reneged on that part, I felt it was a bit strange. But you didn't say it."
Lin Fan is his beloved daughter. Since she doesn't want to say it, then he won't say it.
Only then did Lin Fan realize that her father was much smarter than she had imagined.
"It was two million when I first entered, but now it seems to be more than ten million." Lin Fan didn't want to tell lies to his frank father Lin, so he told him some non-confidential parts to reassure him.
"What? Say it again? How much?" Dad Lin widened his eyes, suspecting there was something wrong with his ears.
"It's currently 15 million a year, and I heard it's going to increase, but I don't know the exact amount," Lin Fan said calmly. She didn't have any feelings about money yet. "So you don't have to save money. I'm very rich now."
"Xiao Fan." Father Lin grabbed her arm and stared into her eyes. "Tell me, is what you're doing safe? Is it harmful to your body? Is it illegal?"
Seeing Lin's father's reaction, Lin Fan felt comforted. He was still concerned about her first.
"What I do is currently safe and does not cause any obvious harm to my body. It is not illegal. I am working for the military." Lin Fan looked back at his father with a firm gaze.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Lin's father finally believed that Lin Fan had not lied to him. "You...you..."
"I'm fine. I'm rich, I have a lot of free time, I'm almost recovered from my illness, and I'm surrounded by handsome guys. Don't worry." Lin Fan said casually.
"Dad's not stupid. A 10 million yuan salary isn't easy to come by. You must have made some sacrifices. Don't lie to me. I know what's going on." Lin's father stopped Lin Fan from making excuses. "I just want to ask you one question: are you happy now?"
Lin Fan thought about it, has he been happy in the past six months?
She didn't know, she couldn't feel happy.
But the pain, the hard work, the bruises, the sweat...
The calm Song Ren, the lively Li Chunhua, the innocent Gao Fei, the intelligent Ji Yu. The charming yet insightful Jin Sichen, the cheerful Wu Yusen...
Figures flashed through her mind, and most of the memories were filled with smiles.
Even though she didn't have any real emotional feelings, she felt that she was happier in the past six months than before.
"Yeah, I'm very happy." Lin Fan replied with a smile.
Looking at Lin Fan's smile, Dad Lin finally felt relieved.
He smiled, took Lin Fan's arm, and staggered back.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Ma's familiar voice of scolding came again: "It took so long, you've sent someone to the moon!"
have to!
The good mood is gone again.
Most parents love their children, but they just don't know how to make them feel it. Few parents would apologize to their children. While Dad Lin has his responsibilities, he's also a pretty good dad. Vote for Dad Lin.
