The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 3

577.Can't Forget Your Child

Lim Feng smiled and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, there's no need for you to treat me like an outsider. We're all a part of the Lim family. There is no need to be so polite, isn't it?" Then, he looked at Hanbin and said, "Hanbin, don't listen to your parents. Keep the money. I'll take it as you think I gave too little if you don't accept it."

"Lim Feng, why are you making a scene?" Lim Guo seemed to have reached the limit of his patience and roared, "You'd better not overdo it. Come to me if you are dissatisfied with anything."

"I'm here to give Hanbin a wedding gift. What do you mean by making a scene?" Lim Feng looked puzzled and said with a smile, "When my Jaehyun was born, didn't brother and sister-in-law give him a gift too?" When he said this, it was as if a bomb had been dropped on Lim Guo and Mrs. Lim. They were so shocked that they lost control of their expressions and could not speak. Lim Jaehyun had long been a taboo between them. Every time he mentioned it accidentally, Lim Feng would go crazy. How could he mention Lim Jaehyun with a smile on his face? Was he crazy? Or did he already know something?

"Who is Lim Jaehyun?" Hanbin was confused and asked, "how come I've never heard of this name before?" From his second uncle's words, Lim Jaehyun seemed to be his son. However, after his second uncle divorced his wife, he never married or had any children.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't be asking," Lim Guo became even more anxious, and he scolded without thinking, "you're just a kid. Why are you asking so much? You're the only one with a mouth, aren't you?"

"Brother, let's talk this out. Why are you scolding Hanbin?" Lim Feng was still smiling. He picked up the cigar again but did not light it and only played with it between his fingers. His posture was a little carefree, and his eyelids were slightly drooped, making it impossible for others to see his expression. "It's normal that Hanbin has never heard of the name Lim Jaehyun. Lim Jaehyun is my son. It's a pity that he died shortly after he was born." He sounded calm as he said slowly, "it's been so many years, and it's always been a scar in my heart. I didn't like to hear anyone mention this name before. So, it's normal you've never heard of it, Hanbin."

Hanbin was slightly shocked. He only knew that Lim Feng had divorced but did not know he had a child. Why had his parents never mentioned this to him? His parents didn't have a good relationship with Lim Feng, and his father always scolded Lim Feng. He didn't believe that his parents would be so considerate as not to mention his second uncle's pain of losing his son and treat it as if it had never happened.

Hanbin felt something was wrong. He wanted to ask more, but Lim Guo glared at him. "Everything is in the past. Why do you have to mention it? Stop it!"

"That's right, everyone has to look forward," Mrs. Lim forced a smile and consoled Lim Feng, "Lim Feng, so many years have passed. It's good that you've gotten over it. Let the past stay in the past. There's no need to bring it up again. You're still young and have a long time to live in the future."

"I have to mention it. If I didn't mention it, wouldn't no one remember my poor child then?" Lim Feng smiled, but his smile was filled with sorrow and pain. He muttered, as if he was talking to himself but also to them, "as a parent, you can't forget your child..."

Lim Guo felt a chill down his spine. In the past, when Lim Feng had gone crazy, he felt impatient and thought that he was causing trouble. He had hoped that Lim Feng would quickly calm down. But now that Lim Feng had calmed down, he felt afraid. If possible, he hoped Lim Feng would continue to go crazy and not mention a single word about the past.

Lim Feng did not seem to notice Lim Guo's expression. He handed the red envelope to Hanbin again and said with a smile, "There's not much money in there, only 100,000 yuan. Please take it as a small token of appreciation from me as an uncle. You can buy whatever you like with it."

100,000 yuan was indeed not a lot for a family like theirs. However, Lim Guo and Mrs. Lim's expressions turned even uglier. They looked displeased. Lim Feng didn't look at them. He stood up after handing the gift, put the unlit cigar back into his pocket, and said, "Alright, I came here today to give you a gift. I'll be returning now that I've delivered the gift." He headed to the door and suddenly turned around. "Right. I have something to advise you on, brother?"

"What?" Lim Guo seemed to be frightened as he stared at Lim Feng.
