The Transmigration Survival Guide

Book 11: Chapter 26

Lin Chuchengs legs sent him after the staggering Irena before he realised it. Irena wiped her tears as she ran. Notwithstanding her speed, she didnt bump into anybody or be hit by a horse carriage. Suddenly, somebody hugged Irena. Irena desperately struggled and cried, but the woman tightly had her arms around her shoulders.

Your Highness, what happened?

Irena trembled when she heard the womans voice. She looked up to see Veirya looking at her with surprise. Anybody who saw the nations Princess crying and running up to them would react the same way, wouldnt they?

It was difficult to describe what Veirya was to Irena. Veirya was a woman who was friendly with her and once a hero, an idol from her stories; however, things were complicated because she was Lin Dongqings beloved wife. That was what Irena struggled to accept the most. She blamed Veirya for preventing him from being her father.

What is the matter, Your Highness? Could Chu have bullied you? Veirya made a very mother-like remark youd hear in fiction as she saw Lin Chucheng chasing Irena.

Lin Chucheng and Irena both shuddered. Irena knew that Lin Dongqing had a son but never met him before, partially because Lin Dongqing didnt want them to be aware of their relationship. Lin Chucheng rarely made public appearances, while Lin Dongqing and Irena were hardly ever in the imperial capital when she was younger. That was why she didnt know how the boy she even looked.

Lin Chucheng used to be a ball of fire, acting childish. He was a young man she looked down on. He even wanted to abandon his duty as an assistant to a tax officer. She finally discovered he was Lin Dongqings son! Lin Chucheng wasnt trying to be Lin Dongqings son. The former was the latters lucky son her perspective.

You You

Irena turned around and stared at Lin Chucheng, emotions and frustration rendering her speechless. From her perspective, Lin Dongqing was a remarkable man. Accordingly, he assumed that his son mustve been an incredible individual in his own right. Even if he wasnt as cool, he shouldve been as astute and similar in personality as Lin Dongqing. She couldnt be his daughter, so she always wanted to get along with his son when they met; she even considered marrying into his family. Never in her wildest dreams did she realise she was already acquainted with his son.

Unfortunately, Lin Dongqings son was completely unlike his father. He and his son were two opposite extremes. One was calm and astute, while the other, who was in front of her was stuck up and self-righteous. His only skill was talking up a big deal the epitome of what Lin Dongqing looked down on.

Sorry, I didnt mean to hide it from you. It was my father who forced me to hide my identity. Lin Chuchengs best trait was not dragging his feet and being indecisive.

Veirya expressed, Your Highness, he is my son. His relationship with his father is not very healthy, which was why his father sent him to the tax bureau to work as an assistant. I did not think he was working with you. I hope he has not caused you trouble. With that said, I would like to ask why you are crying.

Irena sniffled, tightly gripped Veiryas clothes and shakily requested, Countess Veirya I want to see Count Lin I want to see Count Lin

Lin Dongqing was always Irenas last hope when she was distressed for he always had a way to comfort her in such moments. Although Irena wanted to be cool, she wanted to choose where she cried. She probably didnt notice that she bumped into Veirya precisely because she ran toward Lin Dongqings place.

Although rather perplexed, Veirya nodded since Irena looked so distressed: He is at home. If you want to see him, let us go now.

Lin Chucheng awkwardly stood in place. He suddenly felt a surge of emotions as he watched Veirya hug Irena. He thought he could help Irena feel better. He even had his script prepared. Sadly, he was never on Irenas radar. He was still nobody to her even after his identity was revealed. Irenas hope was his father.

How am I inferior to my father? Why does everyone always want my father? Everyone is disappointed when they find out Im my fathers son. For what reason does my father overshadow me so much? Does even my most pure kindness pale in comparison to him? Everybody seeks my father when theyre faced with trouble, while Im always letting them down. Am I really so useless?

Veirya looked back at her son and reached a hand out: Lets go, Chu. I think you should speak to your father, too hes in very poor shape right now. He coughed blood again this morning If he doesnt have much time left I think you should speak to him.

Lin Chuchengs brain blanked out. His mother looked very distressed. Maybe maybe his father

I I Ill go speak to him! Lin Chucheng grabbed his moms hand tightly and rushed home
