Lin Xuan's expression shifted in shock.
It shouldn't be what he thought. Chen Ling and the dean had always depended on each other. They had a good relationship, and Chen Ling was the dean's biological daughter.
How could Chen Ling possibly scatter her own biological father's ashes?
Lin Xuan continued watching.
Chen Ling stood quietly in front of Dean Chen's memorial, just looking at it.
A long time passed just like that.
Finally.
She spoke.
"Dad, you know that I love Brother Lin Xuan very, very much. In this life, it has to be Brother Lin Xuan."
"Your spirit in heaven will definitely bless me and Brother Lin Xuan to be together."
"Dad, I'm sorry."
"..."
Lin Xuan frowned.
What did Chen Ling mean by saying these things?
It seemed like she wanted to do something to attract his attention.
Lin Xuan suddenly remembered the scene earlier today when Chen Ling asked him to stay.
A faint suspicion began to form in his mind.
Next.
A scene that shocked Lin Xuan appeared.
Chen Ling actually took down the portrait of the deceased from the wall and smashed it.
Following closely were the memorial plaque and the ashes.
Lin Xuan clenched his fists.
It was actually Chen Ling herself who did it. She actually did such a thing to her father, whom she had depended on for so long!
Lin Xuan's face turned livid.
If it weren't for the surveillance camera, he would probably never have known in his entire life that Chen Ling did all this.
Holding his phone, he began to stride toward Chen Ling's room.
Chen Ling could hear the footsteps coming from outside the door.
Her eyes lit up.
He was here.
Brother Lin Xuan had finally come over.
Thump, thump, thump—
Chen Ling's heart beat violently once again.
Creak—
Lin Xuan pushed the door open.
He walked in with a dark expression.
Chen Ling had not yet noticed that something was wrong with Lin Xuan's expression.
"Brother Lin Xuan, you're finally back."
Chen Ling threw herself at him again, hugging Lin Xuan's waist tightly and burying her face deep into his chest.
"Do you know that when you weren't here just now, I was really, really scared."
Lin Xuan sneered.
He used to think Chen Ling just had the temper of a pampered young lady and was merely a bit arrogant.
He never expected that she would actually be so ruthless to her dead biological father!
It really opened his eyes.
With a loud smack.
Lin Xuan pushed Chen Ling away heavily.
Chen Ling stumbled.
Caught completely off guard, she fell to the floor.
"Brother Lin Xuan, you..." What's wrong.
Chen Ling looked up.
And saw Lin Xuan's gloomy face.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Why? Why was Brother Lin Xuan looking at her with such eyes?
Wasn't Brother Lin Xuan very gentle with her just now?
He had only gone out for a while, and now he had this attitude toward her.
No, it's impossible.
She had done it very secretively. She had destroyed the surveillance camera, and when she destroyed those things, she had worn gloves, so no fingerprints would be left behind.
Besides, she was her dad's biological daughter.
How could Brother Lin Xuan possibly suspect her?
She must be overthinking it.
She had to stay calm and not let Brother Lin Xuan see any clues.
"Brother Lin Xuan." Chen Ling raised her face, looking at Lin Xuan with red eyes. "It hurts so much. Why did you push me away so hard?"
Lin Xuan sneered and said, "Chen Ling, you know perfectly well what you've done."
"Are you really completely unaware of the destruction of Dean Chen's ashes?"
Lin Xuan's eyes stared fixedly at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling's heart skipped a beat.
What did Brother Lin Xuan mean by this? Did he really suspect her?
Chen Ling stood up from the floor, bit her lip, and said, "Brother Lin Xuan, are you suspecting that I was the one who destroyed Dad's memorial plaque and ashes?"
Lin Xuan didn't speak.
Obviously, he was tacitly admitting to Chen Ling's words.
Chen Ling felt so wronged that her tears kept falling.
The first person Brother Lin Xuan suspected was actually her.
Did he really not believe her that much?
"Brother Lin Xuan, Dad and I had such a good relationship, and I am his daughter. What deep hatred would I have to treat my biological father like this?" Chen Ling cried out.
She looked as if she had suffered a massive injustice. "Brother Lin Xuan, how could you? How could you suspect me like this?"
Did Brother Lin Xuan know that this would cause her a lot of pain?
"Brother Lin Xuan."
"You can't suspect me like this."
Lin Xuan took a deep breath.
"Chen Ling, you still refuse to admit it, right?"
"Fine, then I'll let you take a good look at what this is."
Lin Xuan threw his phone in front of Chen Ling.
Lin Xuan had pressed the play button beforehand.
The surveillance video on the phone started playing.
"Dad, Dad, you know that I love Brother Lin Xuan very, very much—"
The voice came from the phone.
Chen Ling's eyes suddenly widened.
Her gaze fell on the phone screen in disbelief.
This, this...
Chen Ling's face turned pale.
Wasn't this the surveillance footage from her dad's room?
How could this be?
Hadn't she destroyed the camera in that room in advance?
How could there still be surveillance footage?
Chen Ling looked entirely incredulous.
Lin Xuan spoke up, "I had someone secretly install this camera in a relatively hidden corner. You weren't there when it was installed. The reason I set up this camera was to prevent a situation exactly like today's."
"I was guarding against this kind of situation today, but I never expected that this camera would actually come in handy one day."
"And I expected even less that the person who smashed the dean's urn would be you, the dean's biological daughter, Chen Ling."
A tremendous panic suddenly rose in Chen Ling's heart.
Brother Lin Xuan really knew.
Brother Lin Xuan valued her dad very much.
Now that she had done these things to her dad, and Brother Lin Xuan found out about it.
Would Brother Lin Xuan's impression of her plummet to the lowest point, and then he would never be with her?
"Brother Lin Xuan, I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to."
Chen Ling grabbed Lin Xuan's arm, shook her head, and said, "I love my dad very much too. Doing all this, my heart was truly in pain."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been distracted all afternoon.
It wasn't until Brother Lin Xuan agreed to come see her that her mood improved a bit.
Lin Xuan looked at Chen Ling coldly.
No matter what her reason was, Dean Chen's ashes had been destroyed by her. This was an undeniable fact.
"Dad wanted to see me happy more than anything. Brother Lin Xuan, I like you. Only by being with you will I feel happy."
"Therefore, Dad couldn't possibly blame me for what I've done."
Lin Xuan's expression was freezing.
He had never felt that Chen Ling was this disgusting at any moment before.
"Brother Lin, everything I did was for you."
