CapĂtulo 1524: Chapter 1497: Pushed Too Far (Part 3)
Song Xiaodong immediately began treating Lin Suâerâs father.
Lin Suâerâs father was indeed seriously injured, but with Song Xiaodongâs current medical skill, it wasnât difficult to handle. After a little over an hour, Song Xiaodong finished up.
Surprisingly, Lin Suâerâs father quickly regained consciousness.
âSuâer⊠SongâŠâ Upon seeing Lin Suâer and Song Xiaodong, Lin Suâerâs father was first surprised and delighted, then a somewhat panicked look appeared in his eyes.
Lin Suâerâs heart suddenly softened. Her father was just a thug and a bully, always looking fierce in her memory. This fragile look in his eyes was truly something she was encountering for the first time. Her father actually seemed to be afraid of her now.
âHow are you feeling now?â Lin Suâer asked softly.
Her father quickly replied, âNoâŠitâs nothing, such a minor injury is nothing at all. Iâve endured much worse injuries and got through them just fine.â
Lin Suâer, with a tone of blame, said, âYou used to be young, but now youâre older. Do you still think youâre a young man? Luckily, Dongzi came back to treat you, or else do you think youâd have woken up now?â
âThank you⊠thank you!â Lin Suâerâs father assumed Song Xiaodong had found a good doctor, so he didnât think much of it.
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, âTake a few days to rest; youâll be fine in a few days.â
Her father quickly said, âEven though Iâm older now, Iâm still in great shape, absolutely fine. But I didnât go looking for trouble; they brought it to our home, and it was self-defense. He wanted to make sure Song Xiaodong and Lin Suâer didnât think he was out causing trouble again.
Lin Suâer rolled her eyes at her father and said, âI know, Aunt Liu already told me.â
Her father glanced at Liu Dongmei and quickly added, âThis isnât her fault. Those bastards are real jerks, coming to my home and strutting around. Did they think I wouldnât fight back? If this were a few days ago, I would have beaten them all, leaving none of them able to get out.â
âYouâre starting again?â Lin Suâer immediately frowned.
Her father hesitated for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, âYes, yes, itâs all in the past. Iâm not who I used to be; I donât fight anymore. I donât even know how to fight now.â
Saying this, he seemed a bit desolate⊠like a hero past his prime, although this hero was just a thug.
Chapter 1499
Lin Suâerâs father has accepted his age. Even though he is not yet fifty, he realizes that this is not his time anymore, that he no longer understands the world around him, that the âJianghuâ is no longer what it used to be.
A few years ago, he tried to resist, wanted to continue messing around, but now he truly knows heâs no longer up for it. The world belongs to the young.
Of course, the main thing is, after spending a few months with Liu Dongmei, he has come to like this woman who washes his clothes and cooks for him, letting him experience the happiness of being cared for by a woman. He doesnât want to cause any more trouble; he wants to be an ordinary person.
Lin Suâerâs father hasnât spoken these things aloud, but Song Xiaodong can see a little bit from the sorrow in his eyes.
This is certainly a good thing. âMixingâ, really, is about being reckless and fearless. Once you have attachments, itâs hard to continue that lifestyle, meaning they wonât have to worry about or hesitate to help him anymore.
âUncle Lin, Aunt Liu, what are your plans for the future?â Song Xiaodong suddenly asked.
Aunt Liu was amazed that Lin Suâerâs father woke up so quickly and realized that Lin Suâerâs boyfriend was indeed impressive, immediately saying, âAs soon as Old Linâs leg heals, Iâll leave.â
Lin Suâerâs fatherâs lips moved slightly, but he said nothing.
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, âUncle Lin, if you have any thoughts, just say them.â
Being called Uncle Lin by Song Xiaodong surprised him, bringing some comfort, followed by a little embarrassment. He bit his lip and said, âI donât fear your ridicule. I used to always be alone, but now I want to settle down, find a companion. I want to live with your Aunt Liu.â
âAh⊠Old Lin, youâŠâ Aunt Liuâs face turned red, and she stammered, unable to speak. At this age, she shouldnât be so shy, but saying such things in front of someoneâs children was quite embarrassing.
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, âThatâs a good thing; Suâer and I are busy, and we donât have much time to take care of you. You should have a companion. I think Aunt Liu is great. Aunt Liu, what do you think about this?â
Aunt Liu, with a flushed face, said, âI know Old Lin is a good person, but my ex-husband⊠I really canât be with him. This isnât helping him; itâs harming him.â
Song Xiaodong said, âYou donât need to worry about that. If you want to be with Uncle Lin, Iâll help you deal with your ex-husband, making sure he wonât bother you anymore.â
Aunt Liu, incredulous, said, âButâŠheâs difficult to deal with.â
Lin Suâerâs father, cracking a smile, said, âSong⊠this Song Xiaodong, those guys are really tough. I know youâre savvy in that world, but I really donât want you to mix in that world anymore. I donât want Suâer to be afraid alongside you. I now truly understand how Suâerâs mother felt originally.â
