Chapter 44: In addition, there seemed to be a recording. (1)
That very moment, the room was so quiet that one could almost hear a hair falling onto the floor.
Nothing else need to be said.
“I don’t believe that it is a good idea for Lin Xi to stay with the Lin’s,” said Gu Shao coldly.
“As the birth father of the child, I will take her with me. If Boss Lin and his family believe that I should compensate you, I can cover all expenses incurred by Lin Xi at the Lin’s in the past 14 years.”
Lin Yize’s face was long. He didn’t say anything. It was obvious that Gu Shao came well prepared. Now he had become the passive one.
Letting Gu Shao bring Lin Xi with him was the only way out of this.
He could come up with some other ideas afterward.
After some considerations, when Lin Yize was just about to say something, Song Kexin, who has had a long face and remained silent all along stood up suddenly and lost control of herself.
“You are right! I hadn’t been nice to her. But was that my fault?!
“She never should have been born. I didn’t want to have her. It was you! It was all your fault! If it wasn’t for you, we would not have this accident. My first time would be with Yize and we would only have our old child in our family.” Song Kexin accused Gu Shao madly and placed all blame on him.
Lin Xi couldn’t listen to this anymore. Frowning, she retorted, “This was all Lin Yize’s doing. What did it have to do with Boss… uh, what did it have to do with my father? He…”
Lin Xi was half way through what she was saying when Song Kexin turned and looked at her. The hatred in her eyes were frightening.
“You! It was all you! All of my misfortunes were because of you!
“If it wasn’t for you, my family would be the happiest of all families! Why did you have to be born?!
“Why? Oh? Why aren’t you dead??”
Her hysteria was very disturbing.
Gu Shao stood up and stood in front of Lin Xi, shielding her.
Song Kexin, at this time, lost consciousness and collapsed.
All of a sudden, the entire Lin family plunged into chaos.

Zhang Cui came over at this point.
Seeing that her daughter had passed out, she ran up anxiously to check on her. But she was stopped by Xu Jiaofeng. Song Kexin was helped upstairs by two servants plus the medical assistant as home.
Zhang Cui looked back over at the direction of the living room.
“What is going on here?” She only came a little bit late. Whatever had happened?
Zhang Cui looked over at her son-in-law then at Gu Shao, whom she did not recognize, and got a pretty good idea.
This man was most likely Lin Xi’s birth father. The bad guy whom her daughter had run into back in the days and impregnated her.
Zhang Cui was not happy with Gu Shao. Nevertheless, as Gu Shao didn’t look like some pushover, she decided it was best to not say anything.
What she didn’t understand was that: It was not a bad thing if someone wanted to take Lin Xi away. How did things get blow up, to a point that her daughter had passed out?
“So you are Lin Xi’s birth father, right? I heard you are here to transfer out her household register?
“We don’t have a problem with her leaving with you and you can be a father to her. Unfortunately, we had just transferred out Lin Xi’s household register two days ago.”
Gu Shao frowned when he heard that. “Where did you have it transferred out to?”
“A relative back at our home village.” Zhang Cui wanted to get rid of Gu Shao but she wasn’t lying either.
Lin Xi’s household register had been transferred over to the village and she had been busy with bringing over another child from her Second Uncle’s place. She was still in the middle of that when she heard that Lin Xi’s birth father was visiting.
“What’s past was past. There’s not much we can say about that. I can reach out to my relatives if you want to have Lin Xi’s household register transferred. Nevertheless, I hope you an keep this matter in a downlow. This is for Lin Xi’s best interest as well.” More importantly, for the Lin family and her daughter’s reputation.
What she said made Gu Shao snickered. Was she threatening him?
She wasn’t going to tell him where Lin Xi’s household register is located right now if he didn’t agree to keep this in the downlow?
As a father, he would not tell anyone about the incident and how Lin Xi came about just for the sake of protecting his child. But that didn’t mean he was okay with being threatened.
“You really should go check on your daughter, Madam Zhang.”
Gu Shao said goodbye to the Lin family and left with Lin Xi.
