Yu Jinmo’s line of sight slowly slid down. Only then did she notice that there was a large gash on Lin Bai’s chest, and there were even blood stains on it.
Her nerves, which had finally relaxed, instantly tensed up again.
“How did this happen? Are you injured? Is it serious?”
Yu Jinmo asked anxiously. Thinking about how she had pounced into Lin Bai’s embrace just now, he became even more worried and blamed herself.
“Did I…hurt you just now?”
She asked carefully.
Lin Bai said casually, “It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s just a small wound. Don’t be so worried.”
But how could Yu Jinmo not be worried?
She kept asking what exactly had happened back then.
Not only her, Lin Haisheng and his wife also wanted to know why Lin Bai had attacked someone and even injured himself.
Lin Bai had originally planned to explain everything to them slowly after he returned home.
However, seeing that they were so eager to know, he told them everything while they were on the way home.
Of course, Lin Bai didn’t tell them that he actually had the ability to dodge Zhao Yiming’s stab.
He deliberately got injured so that they wouldn’t pay too much attention to other things.
The truth was just as Lin Bai had expected. Lin Haisheng and his wife, as well as Yu Jinmo’s attention, were all focused on his injuries.
As for the photo of his and Luo Yang’s back that was trending, and why he didn’t stay in school and instead went to the place where the incident happened, these questions were all ignored by them.
After Lin Haisheng heard the whole story, he said to Lin Bai, “You did the right thing in this incident. You stopped that person from hurting more people. It can be considered a righteous act
“However, if you encounter similar situations in the future, you have to pay attention to your methods. While protecting others, you also have to protect yourself. This time, you’re lucky that you didn’t hurt any vital parts. You might not be so lucky next time.
“You’re the only child in our family. If something happens to you, how will your mother and I live the rest of our lives?”
“Next time, before you do anything, think about your mother and me first. Do you understand?”
Lin Haisheng rarely spoke to Lin Bai in such a tone. This time, he was really afraid.
He didn’t even dare to think about what would have happened if the knife had been stabbed a little more.
Lin Bai said seriously, “Dad, don’t worry. This won’t happen again.”
If he could think of a better way, he would not have gotten hurt on purpose.
Now that he had achieved his goal, his family and Yu Jinmo did not notice the problems that he could not explain.
However, Lin Bai felt a little guilty.
After all, the worries his family had for him were all genuine.
“No matter what happens in the future, I will never let myself get hurt again.”
Lin Bai promised solemnly.
This was not just a promise made to appease his family’s emotions.
It was because Lin Bai had really set a rule in his heart that he would never let himself get hurt again, and he would never let his family be so worried.
Lin Haisheng said with a straight face, “You have to keep your word.”
He wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Lin tugged at the corner of his shirt and said softly, “Okay, okay, just stop talking. Don’t scare Little Mo..”
Lin Haisheng also felt that it was not good to continue reprimanding his son in front of his girlfriend, so he did not say anything more.
Thus, Mrs. Lin laughed and chatted with Yu Jinmo about common things, asking her what dishes she liked to eat, if she had any dietary restrictions, and if she had any hobbies after school.
The tense atmosphere finally slowly eased up.
For the rest of the journey, it was basically Mrs. Lin and Yu Jinmo who talked about common things. Occasionally, they would talk about the embarrassing things that happened when Lin Bai was young.
Lin Haisheng focused on driving and did not speak anymore, but there was an unconcealable joy on the corners of his eyes and brows.
Lin Bai could tell that his parents had a good impression of Yu Jinmo.
This made him secretly sigh in relief. Then, he took advantage of this period of time to check the unread messages on his phone.
When he saw Yu Jinmo asking him if he had seen the photo of his back on the trending search, Lin Bai could not help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he followed his instincts and avoided those questions.
But if he avoided this time, he might not be able to avoid it next time.
He still had to be more careful in the future.
After returning home, Lin Bai’s mother personally cooked a big table of good dishes. Basically, they were all Yu Jinmo’s favorites.
During the meal, they still chatted about common topics. Lin Haisheng and his wife had basically learned all about Yu Jinmo’s growth experience, her personality, preferences, and so on. They liked her more and more.
In the end, the topic inevitably turned to Yu Jinmo’s parents.
Yu Jinmo did not hide anything and told the truth:
“When my mother gave birth to me, she died during labor. So, all these years, it was my father who raised me all by himself. He doted on me very much but if I made a mistake, he would also scold me very harshly, so that I would not dare to make a mistake again. When I was young, I couldn’t quite understand his painstaking efforts. Now that I’ve grown up, I really feel that he is the best father in the world.”
Lin Haisheng and his wife did not dislike Yu Jinmo just because she had grown up in a single-parent family.
On the contrary, they were very distressed that Yu Jinmo had lost her mother’s love at such a young age. They felt that they should take extra care of her in the future.
Mrs. Lin said, “Then your father has to play the role of both a father and a mother while juggling work at the same time. It must be very tiring.”
Yu Jinmo nodded. “Yes. Before the company was on the right track, he had to do many things himself.”
“At that time, he was very busy. He could only sleep for three or four hours a day, and his hair had become much whiter.”
“But after I entered junior high school, the company’s various businesses were on the right track. My father wasn’t so busy anymore, and he spent most of his time with me.”
“Company?”
Mrs. Lin keenly grasped the keywords.
“Does your father run a company?”
Yu Jinmo nodded. “Yes, he owns the Yu Corporation.”
“…”
Lin Haisheng and his wife looked at each other, their expressions complicated and subtle.
Everyone in S City knew about the Yu Corporation?
It was the largest company in the city, and the Yu family was also the undisputed richest family in S city.
However, Lin Haisheng and his wife never expected that the gentle and obedient girl in front of them was the daughter of the owner of Yu Corporation.
Moreover, she was also the sole heir of the Yu Corporation.
If nothing unexpected happened, all the wealth of the Yu Corporation and the Yu family would belong to her in the future.
That made Lin Haisheng and his wife a little confused for a moment, not knowing what kind of attitude they should continue to treat Yu Jinmo with.
