Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 382: Chapter 395: Punish Me Instead

Mu Xingfeng’s feelings for Tuzi were something he understood best. Besides, this was a private matter, and regardless of how much grandpa disapproved, the Mu Family hadn’t made any fuss about it. It wasn’t his place to meddle, but he couldn’t say that out loud.

”Hey, you little brat, you’ve got some nerve to lecture your grandpa, huh? What gap between the Lin and Mu Families? I don’t believe your Grandpa Mu would break ties with me over that little girl. Besides, back then, when it came to Xingfeng and Ruonan, your grandpa agreed wholeheartedly. Now, he’s going back on his word, and I’m just venting my anger on that little girl. I haven’t harmed her.”

Old Mr. Lin then turned to Mu Zhenzong, ”And Zhenzong, our families have been friends for so many years. We all know Ruonan likes Xingfeng. It’s one thing if your father didn’t honor his promise, but now, at my birthday banquet, you still let Xingfeng bring that little girl here. Aren’t you just adding to my frustration? I was only teaching that girl a lesson.”

As Mu Zhenzong listened to Old Mr. Lin, although he disagreed with many aspects, the comment about bringing An Ran to the birthday banquet indeed made him uncomfortable. He stood up and nodded to Old Mr. Lin, ”Uncle Lin, we didn’t think this through. However, since she is the girlfriend Xingfeng acknowledges, if you are dissatisfied in any way, please tell us.”

Implicitly, we can admit our mistake, but it’s not proper for you to handle it this way.

Lin Weidong also spoke up, ”Yes, Dad, after all, she’s part of the Mu Family. What you did was really inappropriate.”

”Alright, you all have your reasons, and it’s just me, the old man, who is at fault. Everything is my mistake then, is that satisfactory?” Old Mr. Lin said and stormed upstairs, flinging his sleeve.

Lin Ruonan’s eyes reddened as she listened to the elders.

Before the banquet, her grandpa saw her sad in the corner and called her over, saying he would stand up for her. She thought he was just comforting her, never expecting that he would lock An Ran up to vent her anger.

Now she was being blamed by Uncle Mu and her father.

She knew what grandpa did was wrong, but she also knew it was out of his love for her.

”Dad, please stop. This happened because of me. Grandpa did it for my sake. It’s my fault. Even though Xingfeng already has someone he likes, I couldn’t let go. If someone should be punished, let it be me.” She said, then dropped to her knees in front of Lin Weidong with a thud.

”Nan, what are you doing, my dear girl?” Lin Weidong’s heart shattered seeing his daughter kneel before him.

His daughter had always strived to be the best and was his pride. Now she was kneeling to him.

He could completely understand his father and his daughter’s actions today. Moreover, when Mu Xingfeng pointed a gun at his daughter, he knew there was no longer any possibility between his daughter and Mu Xingfeng.

What he had to do now was maintain the relationship between the Lin and Mu Families.

”Enough, Brother Mu, as you can see, the Lin Family indeed handled this poorly. Considering Ruonan’s infatuation with Xingfeng and our long-standing friendship, I hope you can forgive my father and my daughter.” Lin Weidong said, pulling up his daughter and sincerely addressing Mu Zhenzong.

”This matter is also due to our lack of consideration. Enough, let’s stop talking about it. Since no one was hurt, let it be.” Mu Zhenzong sighed and said.

”What about Xingfeng?” Lin Weidong asked.
