Chapter 154 Grievance
After much thought, Yu Shulan finally came to Lin Ge's door.

"Knock knock knock knock".

"Xiaoge, come out for a moment. Mom has something to discuss with you." Yu Shulan's tone was slow but with a hint of negotiation.

"Are you annoying? All you do is give me bad advice all day long. Can't you let me be quiet for two days? You asked me to find Qi Liancheng, and I did. You asked me to curry favor with him, and I did. What else do you want from me?" Lin Ge shouted angrily at the outside of the door.

Yu Shulan was speechless for a moment. When she had just found Xiaoge, she was so well-behaved and sensible. She always considered her family in everything and wanted to marry Qi Liancheng.

How come now, it's all their fault?

“Xiao Ge, how can you say that?” A sad look appeared on Yu Shulan’s face, as if she had aged ten years in an instant: “Even when Luo Luo was at home, she never treated us like this…”

Yu Shulan was so angry at Lin Ge that she accidentally blurted out what was in her mind.

The next second, the door opened.

"Really? So my good mother is still thinking about Luoluo? Is she still dissatisfied with the dowry she gave to Luoluo? How about when Luoluo gets married in a few days, should we go and show our support to her?"

Lin Ge's powdered face, coupled with a hideous and disgusted expression, made her makeup look even dirtier. When her tears fell, clear traces of her makeup could be seen.

Yu Shulan was stunned for a moment. Her daughter seemed to have changed a lot in an instant.

When she was first found, she was full of rural air, but she was simple and kind, qualities that the former Li Luo did not have.

After finding his biological daughter, Li Luo became jealous and framed Lin Ge, so the family began to dislike Li Luo. But since when did Li Luo start to learn to compromise and even took the initiative to move her household registration back.

It was as if he was afraid that the Li family would be contaminated by him, which made Yu Shulan uncomfortable.

In the past eighteen years, they had clearly never treated Li Luo badly, so why did Li Luo not want to acknowledge them?
It seemed that the reason for all this started from the time when he allowed Xiaoge to snatch Li Luo's marriage away.

If all this had not happened, if Li Luo still married Qi Liancheng... would her sensible and kind Xiaoge still be able to come back?
But it's too late to say anything now, and if I say these words again, it will probably add fuel to the fire.

After all, Xiaoge is her own flesh and blood. How can she blame her own flesh and blood?
"Xiao Ge, if you don't want to marry Liancheng, Mom won't have any complaints. Mom just hopes you can be safe and happy." Yu Shulan's eyebrows drooped, and her attitude towards Lin Ge was like a humble beg.

"I don't want to get married?" Lin Ge pointed at his heart and questioned Yu Shulan.

"Is this just because I don't want to get married? Do you want to snatch Li Luo back and let Li Luo marry Qi Liancheng again? I tell you, it's impossible!" Lin Ge pressed on step by step, forcing Yu Shulan to retreat continuously.

Lin Ge once thought that she could be a good daughter, but she couldn't do it. In the eyes of her biological parents, Li Luo still held a lot of weight. If Li Luo was their daughter, then what was she, Lin Ge, like? Why did everyone side with Li Luo, while she, the real daughter, was despised wherever she went? Was it because of the 18 years she spent in the countryside?
Yu Shulan quickly shook her head: "Mom doesn't mean that. Mom just wants you to be happy. If you don't like Qi Liancheng, even if Mom sacrifices her reputation, Mom doesn't want Xiaoge to be wronged."

"This marriage was something your father tried his best to promote. When I saw you couldn't take your eyes off Qi Liancheng, I thought you also wanted to marry Liancheng, so I thought of letting you and Luoluo switch marriages..."

"No, I am going to marry Qi Liancheng!" Lin Ge didn't know what he was thinking about, and his tone became more determined.

Yu Shulan wanted to say something to defend herself, but seeing Lin Ge's serious look, she swallowed all her words, hugged Lin Ge's arm and said, "Since Xiaoge is so determined, then Mom will fully support Xiaoge."

"In my eyes, Xiaoge is my biological daughter. As for Li Luo, the eighteen years of love we had for each other were all stolen happiness based on the fact that she is my daughter."

"And now, my little Ge, you are our baby, you know?" Yu Shulan said, hugging Lin Ge in her arms: "Don't tell anyone about your inability to get pregnant for now. Let's go to the hospital for a thorough check-up."

"Even if we don't want to have children, we still have to take care of our bodies. Mom doesn't want Xiaoge to have any abnormalities in her body."

Yu Shulan's increasingly soft words made Lin Ge feel warm inside, as if it was the result of the mother-son bond. She felt that Yu Shulan was really making up for the love she had lost over the past decade.

Lin Ge couldn't help but stretch out his arms and gently hugged Yu Shulan.

"Mom, thank you."

Yu Shulan was also moved by Lin Ge's actions and hugged Lin Ge back: "Silly child, why are you being so polite to your family?"

Lin Ge nodded gently: "Mom, please don't mention Li Luo to me anymore. I don't like her. I feel wronged when I think about her occupying my identity for eighteen years."

"I have to get the Lin family to cancel the five thousand yuan matter as soon as possible. Only in this way can I successfully protect my reputation. Otherwise, if the neighbors make groundless accusations, it will still have an impact on our Li family."

"Hey, hey, Xiaoge is right, but you really can't take this 5,000 yuan?" Yu Shulan still couldn't believe that her daughter could do such a thing.

Although Yu Shulan had no intention of questioning him, Lin Ge's body still stiffened, and then he said calmly, "How is it possible? But the matter of the five thousand yuan is not that simple."

"The Lin family originally agreed to give me the five thousand yuan for safekeeping. This money was all my dowry, so even if I took it away, they just owed me." As he spoke, a hint of hatred flashed in Lin Ge's eyes.

"But, even though the Lin family said so, there are no witnesses to prove it! Besides, you didn't marry her in the end. It doesn't make sense for you not to return the money you got for breaking off the engagement."

"Mom, who said this is my dowry? This is clearly the Lin family's guilt-ridden payment for taking me away by mistake, for the eighteen years of suffering I have endured!"

"Li Luo has lived in our house for eighteen years. During these eighteen years, haven't you spent five thousand dollars on Li Luo?" Lin Ge's unique interpretation made Yu Shulan feel that what Lin Ge said made sense for a moment.
