Seeing the expressions of her children, Mother Lin's heart sank.
Sure enough, this was the reaction.
However, she knew that Lin Fan and Lin Jing could not be blamed for this matter. She could only blame her mother's family for doing a bit too much.
Lin's mother's name is Bai Lingxuan, and she was born in the Bai family in Tai'an City, Xishan Province. Originally, the Bai family was not a famous family, and even in Tai'an City, it could only be regarded as a second-rate family. However, all this happened in more than 20 years.
The previous life changed only because Bai Lingxuan was born in the Bai family, and Bai Lingxuan married Lin Zhentian, who was the young master of the Lin family among the four major families in Yang'an at that time.
This gave the Bai family a super giant as its backer. With the help of the Lin family's name, the Bai family quickly rose to prominence and ruthlessly suppressed other families. In just three or four months, the Bai family became the number one family in Tai'an City.
, the scenery is infinite.
A few years later, Lin Zhentian took over as the head of the Lin family, and Bai Lingxuan became the mistress of the Lin family. The Bai family got a second opportunity to develop, and under the banner of Lin Zhentian and the Lin family, they quickly expanded the family business and industry to the entire
Xishan Province has the potential to dominate Xishan Province.
There are many coal mines in Xishan Province, and the Bai family has occupied more than 70% of the mineral resources in Xishan Province. It has an absolute monopoly. After twenty years of development, the Bai family's funds have reached astronomical figures. A few years ago, they caused a sensation across the country.
The Hummer marriage was done when Bai Yu, the young master of the Bai family, got married. This shows how wealthy the Bai family is.
As the saying goes, everything that goes up must come down. With Lin Zhentian's sudden death and Bai Lingxuan being framed as the murderer, the Bai family's biggest backer collapsed overnight. What's worse is that this fire is likely to burn him. Therefore, the entire Bai family
People are becoming panic-stricken. Although they are already worthy of the name as the first family in Xishan Province, they know exactly what happened to them. Can they not panic in this situation?
In the panic, the Bai family made a strategy of "abandoning the car to save the handsome man".
The so-called abandoning the car to save the commander-in-chief, the first step is to publicly announce the severance of relations with Bai Lingxuan. From then on, the Bai family is the Bai family, Bai Lingxuan is Bai Lingxuan, and the two have nothing to do with each other. This also prevents the Lin family from being angry because of Bai Lingxuan's murder.
Yu and the Bai family; the second step is to refuse to accept Lin Fan who was expelled from the Lin family, and refuse to help the helpless Lin Jing.
At that time, Lin Fan was expelled from his home, penniless and homeless. His first thought was to go to Tai'an to seek refuge with his grandfather and uncles and aunts. However, he did not expect that he would not even open the door of the Bai family.
No one went in, not even a direct member of the Bai family was seen. The Bai family only sent a branch to throw Lin Fan 100,000 yuan and beat him.
Later, Lin Jing also approached the Bai family many times, hoping that they could help find out the truth and clear her mother's name, but they were always rejected by the Bai family.
At first, the Bai family regarded Bai Lingxuan and her son as distinguished guests and honors, but now, they regard them as plagues and ferocious beasts, and they avoid them as much as possible.
The Bai family had already done this, and they thought the Lin family would let them go, but they never thought that within half a year, Lin Zhenshan would take action.
Of course, Lin Zhenshan would not openly suppress the Bai family and establish facts. He would only secretly give a certain amount of support to the Luo family, the original rivals of the Bai family in Tai'an City. Supporting the Luo family to compete with the Bai family would be enough to bring benefits to the Bai family.
Big trouble.
The original allies of the Bai family have also drawn clear boundaries with the Bai family and will never have any contact with each other.
The Bai family is alone and unable to withstand the pressure of the Luo family, who is secretly supported by Lin Zhenshan.
By now, the Bai family's situation has become worse than before. The business has shrunk by 70 to 80%. Business in various places has been lost. Now there are only two coal mines left in hand, which they are struggling to support.
He couldn't even stay in Tai'an, his base camp, and was forced to move to Tongyuan City, where he lived to survive.
Lin Fan's brother and sister were heartbroken that the Bai family had done things so well, so when they heard that their mother wanted to invite them to the wedding, their faces suddenly darkened.
How could Bai Lingxuan not be disappointed?
When she was most helpless and panicked, her father and brothers and sisters, instead of lending a helping hand, actually added insult to injury, which made her full of resentment towards the Bai family.
But she finally softened her heart.
And with the passage of time, and knowing that the Bai family's situation was not good, the resentment in Bai Lingxuan's heart gradually eased a lot.
Now it happened to be Lin Fan's wedding, so I wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship.
After all, we are a family.
But Lin Fan and Lin Jing didn't think so.
"Mom," Lin Jing held her mother's arm and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you invite them? We treat them as relatives, but they have never treated us as relatives. Moreover, they openly talked to you at the beginning.
Those who severed ties, now we have no relationship with the Bai family."
"That's right, Mom, have you forgotten how they treated you, me and Jingjing three years ago?" Lin Fan also said in a deep voice.
"Alas..." Mother Lin sighed, patted Lin Jing's hand, looked at her children, and said, "Mom knows, you have been wronged."
"If they only treat me like this, I'm fine with it, but I can't forgive them for being so cruel to you." Lin Fan turned his head and said.
"I won't forgive them either." Lin Jing also said.
"What they did was indeed excessive, but over the years, they must have begun to regret it." As she said this, Mother Lin's eye circles turned red and her voice choked up: "I also heard that your grandfather's body was damaged every day.
It's worse than that. As a child, if I can't fulfill my filial piety by his side, I will never feel at ease in my life."
Listening to their mother's voice becoming choked with sobs, Lin Fan and Lin Jing's hearts began to twitch.
They didn't want to forgive the Bai family, but they didn't want to see their mother in such pain.
"Mom..." Lin Jing called softly and hugged her mother gently.
Lin Fan felt uncomfortable. He stood up and said, "Mom, it's up to you..."
Mother Lin wiped her eyes happily, looked up at Lin Fan, and said, "Fan'er, according to custom, you should take Feifei to visit the Bai family before getting married."
"..." Lin Fan looked at his mother's earnest eyes and couldn't say any words of rejection. He could only take a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then we'll leave tomorrow." Mother Lin stood up, looked at Lin Fan and said with a smile, "If you don't want to stay at Bai's house for one night, we will come back that night."
"Um."
"Jing'er, you go too."
"mom……"
"good."
"All right."
Seeing that both Lin Fan and Lin Jing agreed to go to Tongyuan, Mother Lin left with satisfaction.
Lin Jing sighed, stuck out her tongue at Lin Fan, and then followed her mother out.
Lin Fan sighed quietly and looked to the north.
To be honest, he really didn't want to go to the Bai family. He hated the Bai family's appearance, but he didn't want to make his mother sad, so this trip to the same place was unavoidable.
