Lin Yu's words were spoken very softly. Even though Xu Huan had turned the monitoring sound to maximum, he still couldn't hear clearly.
"What exactly did she say?" Pointing at the surveillance video footage in front of him, Xu Huan grumbled irritably. He had watched it several times already but still couldn't make out what she said.
Also, how had he discovered that this Lin Yu particularly loved talking to herself? She was completely different from the legendary aloof goddess! Could this be Lin Yu's true face in private? Or had Lin Yu been traumatized and become abnormal?
If that were really the case, Xu Huan would very much like to call Gu Ran over to take a look.
"She was encouraging Xu Mo to keep trying." Xu Zhentian had also come to check the surveillance. Although after talking with Lin Yu, he could confirm that she meant no harm to Xu Mo, he still couldn't completely relax.
Hearing Xu Zhentian's words, Xu Huan was stunned. He turned his head and stared carefully at Lin Yu's lip movements in the surveillance footage.
After finally making out that Lin Yu had said "You're doing great, keep it up," Xu Huan pressed his lips together, his expression unreadable. So what exactly was Lin Yu trying to do? Atone for Lin Yiqian's sins?
But even if she did this, what good would it do? Even if Lin Yu held feelings of guilt and wanted to help repay the debt Lin Yiqian owed, it couldn't bring back the healthy Xu Mo of the past!
Moreover, don't think he hadn't heard Lin Yu's negotiation with his grandfather! Lin Yu wasn't truly acting for Xu Mo's benefit—she clearly just wanted to gain the Xu family's protection! Her motives were questionable!
Thinking of this, Xu Huan let out a vicious cold snort and said to Xu Zhentian: "Grandfather, she has ulterior motives!"
"At least she's better than Lin Yiqian." Leaving behind this meaningful statement, Xu Zhentian turned and walked away.
Hearing Xu Zhentian's words, Xu Huan fell silent. The expression on his face changed repeatedly before he finally sighed and switched to the live surveillance feed.
They had originally thought that Lin Yiqian would be brought in yesterday, so they had specifically ordered that no one should pay attention to "Lin Yiqian."
After forcefully creating enormous psychological pressure for "Lin Yiqian," they had then placed "Lin Yiqian" alone in Xu Mo's room, wanting to personally witness "Lin Yiqian's" reaction when facing the vegetative Xu Mo, and thereby completely crush "Lin Yiqian's" endurance.
The Xu family all believed that with no one paying attention to her, the usually spoiled, willful, and brainless "Lin Yiqian" would, even if she didn't collapse, definitely be afraid, terrified, and reveal her truest reactions.
If "Lin Yiqian" sincerely apologized to Xu Mo and had truly liked Xu Mo before making a mistake in a moment of passion, they would appropriately give her certain lessons and hardships, making her endure some trials and difficult days... ultimately, they wouldn't push her to a dead end.
Conversely, if "Lin Yiqian" dared to harm Xu Mo in her collapsed state, they would definitely make her regret being born into this world!
They just hadn't expected that what they ultimately heard and saw would be completely different from their initial expectations. Lin Yiqian hadn't come to the Xu family at all—the person who appeared in Xu Mo's room was Lin Yu!
To be honest, all the Xu family members felt extremely complicated when facing Lin Yu. They knew Lin Yu was innocent, yet they couldn't help but transfer their anger to her. Lin Yu was a Lin family member, Lin Yiqian's sister, and had come to the Xu family to atone for Lin Yiqian's sins!
Lin Yu shouldn't be treated with tolerance or sincere courtesy. But seeing Lin Yu calmly talking to the bedridden Xu Mo, carefully and attentively caring for him, and patiently reading books to him... somehow, the Xu family couldn't bring themselves to hate Lin Yu anymore.
Lin Yu was still reading books to Xu Mo. Although Xu Mo couldn't respond to her, she still read very seriously. Others might think she was strange, but she found joy in it.
Back when she was in the mental institution, even when she wanted to find someone to talk to, she had no opportunity. Now that there was finally someone willing to listen to her speak, even if he was a vegetable, she didn't feel annoyed but instead felt inexplicably at peace.
Because she knew that no matter what she read, whether right or wrong, he wouldn't oppose her or criticize her. Moreover, reading books could enrich knowledge and exercise eloquence, couldn't it?
More importantly, Lin Yu knew better than anyone that she often couldn't help but talk to herself.
For a very long time, Lin Yu hadn't spoken at all. Later, when she really couldn't hold it in anymore, she began talking to herself, needing no listeners, just talking non-stop on her own.
Now, she was working hard to restrain herself and trying to change, attempting not to appear abnormal. It's just that some habits had become ingrained—she needed time...
At lunchtime, Xu Zhentian appeared in Xu Mo's room. Lin Yu hesitated for a moment before decisively making a request, asking if she could wipe Xu Mo's entire body.
"Cough cough..." Even someone as composed as Xu Zhentian was startled by Lin Yu's bold words. He had brought "Lin Yiqian" here to serve his grandson, not to molest him!
"Otherwise, should we get a nurse?" Seeing that Xu Zhentian didn't seem to agree, Lin Yu chose to change her approach. She just wanted to try using more pool water on Xu Mo—perhaps a second miracle might occur?
Those nurses weren't even as good-looking as Lin Yu! Glaring at Lin Yu with a dark face for a while, Xu Zhentian waved his hand: "No need, you do it!"
"Alright." Not knowing why Xu Zhentian had changed his mind, Lin Yu didn't care and simply nodded.
Lin Yu's unperturbed demeanor truly made Xu Zhentian feel at a loss. After pausing, he returned to the main topic: "How do you plan to deal with the Lin family?"
"Boyang is my grandfather's life's work. I don't want to watch it go bankrupt. So please, Grandfather Xu, show mercy and give Boyang a way to survive. As for the others, I don't currently have the ability to move against them." When mentioning the Lin family, Lin Yu's expression turned cold.
"You know about your background?" Ever since Lin Yu said she wanted to survive yesterday, Xu Zhentian had begun to suspect. Originally, he hadn't planned to ask, since it was unrelated to the Xu family. However, who told him to see that scene of Lin Yu encouraging Xu Mo? The Xu family never owed favors—since Lin Yu was good to Xu Mo, he naturally wouldn't shortchange her either.
"Mm." As an elder, it wasn't strange that Xu Zhentian would know she wasn't Lin Hongxin and Sun Wanting's daughter.
"What are your thoughts?" Rumors said that the Lin Hongxin couple treated Lin Yu extremely well, loving her even more than their biological daughter. However, just looking at the fact that Lin Yu came to marry into the Xu family in Lin Yiqian's place, Xu Zhentian didn't believe it.
"My parents' deaths... there's something fishy about them." Lin Yu wouldn't hide the evil deeds of the Lin Hongxin couple. Since the Xu family happened to have a grudge against the Lin family, she revealed everything.
"How could that be?" This time, it was Xu Zhentian's turn to be surprised. Although he had no dealings with Lin Anyan, he had heard about the man's character and conduct. If the Lin Hongxin couple had killed Lin Hongxuan and his wife, Lin Anyan couldn't possibly have covered for the murderers of his eldest son!
