"Cousin Shen?" Lin Zhengyang turned around and interrupted Lin Jiaojiao, who was still trying to sob, his brow furrowing. "What does his matter have to do with you?"
Lin Jiaojiao paused and looked at Lin Qinghua.
That glance frightened Lin Qinghua to the point her face turned white. Her father was infuriated at the events surrounding Cousin Shen, believing that he was jeopardizing the Lin family's prospects in the officials' circle.
Her father valued such prospects greatly and had no intention of helping the Shen family.
Furthermore, she thought of her maternal grandfather's family, the Shen family, as a burden. They were mediocrities who couldn't bring any advantages to the Lin family. On the contrary, they often took advantage of the Lin family members.
Unlike Jiaojiao's maternal family—although they were lowly merchants, they could at least offer silver to appease others.
