The chaos didn't seem to end, especially after Zhong Sihan's declaration of adopting Lin in the future, which only further confused Hou Fa and Hou Luli. But Lin didn't care. Instead, he turned towards Shui and said,
"I…will bring you here some other time if you don't mind," he pursed his lips.
He only loathed himself for cancelling out on their date like this, but he felt he had no choice - not when seeing his parents had disturbed his state of mind.
Shui didn't show even a moment's hesitation. "Of course. Let's go."
Hou Luli quickly tried to stop him but You Fa pulled her back. "Let him go. He was already dead for us when he left home. We kept telling him chasing that street kid would doom his life and look! We were right. He spent six years in prison because she roped him in her revenge plot! He went to jail because of her for God's sake! He became a criminal and what little reputation we had left was flushed down the drain because of him!"
