Lin's mother was a young actress. Perhaps the Lin family has a love affair gene. Lin's father ignored the opposition of his family and married her.

But unexpectedly, shortly after they got married, he had an affair and brought back two illegitimate children.

Perhaps the love in their youth was too intense, and Lin's mother could never accept this.

For those who live by love, without love, they have nothing.

Lin's mother's temperament changed drastically, as if everyone owed her something, unable to see others doing well.

Moreover, our family was too happy. With the two families united, there were always comparisons between my mother and her, and she had long harbored resentment.

Qin Weimian seemed unable to understand the situation, and echoed, "Yes, if it were on Miss Li—"

"Bang!"

Before she could finish, my mother grabbed the teapot and smashed it at her feet.

The hot water and tea exploded along with the fragments, splashing at Qin Weimian's feet.

"Who do you think you are to criticize my daughter?"

The living room fell silent. I heard the sound of a door opening upstairs, and soon after, I saw my brother appear by the railing on the second floor, silently watching downstairs without saying a word.

The scene was awkward. Qin Weimian was too scared to speak, and Lin Jin closed his eyes.

Lin's mother felt targeted by my mother's words, her face alternating between red and pale.

"Aunt, I came here today to apologize. It was my fault. You have watched me grow up. From now on, Jiaojiao is my own sister."

In this situation, Lin Jin could still remain composed, but as soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from upstairs.

"Jiaojiao doesn't lack a brother, Lin Jin. If you want to apologize, show some sincerity."

Lin Jin looked up, his eyes dark.

"The next season's new digital products from the Lin family will be delayed by half a month."

I stared at my slippers without saying a word.

Lin Jin looked at my brother, but I could feel my brother's gaze on me the whole time.

Seeing no response from me, after a while, my brother spoke slowly, "Not enough."

There was a long silence in the living room.

Just when I was getting impatient, Lin Jin spoke again.
