The Lin family cracks

Seeing Old Master Lin's displeased expression, Li Mei couldn't hold back any longer and broke the tense silence.

"Father, Lin Sanju was shy, so we only had a small celebration. You know how he is; he doesn't like to be the center of attention, so we didn't announce it to the family."

Lin Ruo quickly added, "That's right. Ever since Lin Sanju became the only heir candidate in our branch, he has done his best to show his skills. But he still lacks social skills. He rarely speaks his mind, so his words can seem sullen. Please don't misunderstand his earlier words, Father."

Lin Sanju glanced at his parents. They seemed afraid that he would be scolded and punished. He fell silent.

He wasn't used to being shielded by them, but he didn't dislike it.

Lin Sanju discreetly glanced at Bei Sangyun. He had done what he could. Saying more would only make things worse.

Bei Sangyun put down her glass and interrupted.
