My carefree life in space

Chapter 62 Coping Strategies

Imperial Star, Lin Family.

It was already late at night, and the Lin family members on Dixing were all gathered in the living room.

Of course, this does not include Lin Yu. Over the years, apart from external affairs, Lin Yu has basically not participated in the internal affairs of the Lin family, leaving everything to Ning Ya.

"Waaah...waaah...waaah, Grandma..." Lin Keke lay on Ning Ya's lap, sobbing uncontrollably. She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Alright, my dear granddaughter, stop crying. If you keep crying, Grandma's heart will break. Don't be afraid, Grandma will take care of everything for you."

This heartwarming scene of grandparents and grandchildren evoked mixed emotions among the Lin family members present. Some silently shed tears, deeply moved; others rolled their eyes, seemingly indifferent.

"Eldest son, what kind of father are you? Your own daughter has been bullied to such an extent, how can you still sit there calmly?" Ning Ya comforted her most beloved granddaughter while questioning her eldest son.

Before Lin Chenghui could speak, she turned to her second son Lin Chengye, eldest daughter Lin Yuting, and second daughter Lin Yuwan sitting to the side, "And you, as uncles and aunts, why don't you care about your nieces?"

"Mom, how can you say that? How could we not care about our niece? Didn't we rush back as soon as we received the news?" Lin Yuwan was the first to retort when she heard Ning Ya's question.

“That’s right, Mom. We rushed back as soon as we heard the news. How can you say that about us?” Lin Chengye and Lin Yuting retorted.

"Then tell me, what have you done for Coco?" Ning Ya asked again, displeased, after hearing her children's rebuttal.

Lin Chengye, Lin Yuting, and Lin Yuwan looked at each other, their faces somewhat embarrassed.

"We were thinking of coming back to find out what happened first, otherwise how would we know what to do?" Lin Chengye tried to explain.

After saying that, he looked at Lin Keke, who was sobbing in Ning Ya's arms, and asked, "Keke, what exactly happened? Did you really misinterpret the situation?"

Although Lin Keke sobbed occasionally, she kept a close eye on the behavior of everyone present. When she heard Lin Chengye's question, she felt guilty, but she did not show it.

"Second Uncle, I'm just saying this based on my own understanding. As for whether it's right or wrong, who says that other people's interpretations are correct?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Lin Keke. How could such shameless words come from her mouth? Didn't she always claim to be the most fair and reasonable person?

Even those of them who don't know much about ancient culture can see that the author of that article is correct. As someone who has studied it professionally, how could she not see that? She's just being stubborn.

Some people strongly agreed with Lin Keke's words, saying, "Keke is right. Why is it that what our Keke says is wrong, and what others say is right? Our Keke is a student of Ouyang Zhenliang, how could she be wrong?"

The speaker was Lin Keke's mother, Deng Yunfang, who was looking at Lin Keke with a proud expression.

Lin Chengye's daughter, Lin Miaomiao, looked at Lin Keke's obedient expression and sneered inwardly. Here we go again. As long as her cousin puts on a pitiful look, everyone in the family will give in to her.

Even if she was the one who made the mistake, it was someone else who would be punished in the end. From childhood to adulthood, Lin Miaomiao had suffered countless losses at the hands of this cousin. Now she had learned her lesson and kept quiet, letting them make a fuss.

"I called you all here to hear your opinions on how to handle this matter. Coco's reputation cannot be ruined," Ning Ya said, looking at everyone present with an unquestionable tone.

"Mother, don't worry, I've already made arrangements. As long as we find the author of the article, we'll naturally find a way to make him change his mind, and Coco's reputation won't be affected," Lin Chenghui said confidently.

In his view, with the Lin family involved, all problems could be properly resolved.

"Now that our eldest brother has a solution, we don't need to worry anymore." Lin Chengye agreed with his eldest brother's words, and the others nodded in agreement.

Only Lin Miaomiao was skeptical, but she wasn't stupid and wouldn't voice her opinion in front of her family.

The Lin family members, who thought it was a trivial matter, shook off their earlier heaviness and started chatting about the Lin family's business.

Even Lin Keke had regained her composure and was talking intimately with Ning Ya, both of them wearing smiles.

Just as the family was enjoying a happy time together, Lin Chenghui's personal computer rang.

"I knew it! As long as the Lin family steps in, there's nothing that can't be resolved." He said to the people present while connecting to the personal terminal.

One minute later.

"What did you say? Can't find anyone? What are you guys good for? Weren't you supposed to be the best hackers in the interstellar space?"

Lin Chenghui's angry voice drew everyone's attention to him, but he had no time to care about that.

"No matter what method you use, you must find this person. I want to see the results by tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I will make sure you can't stay on the Imperial Star."

After uttering those harsh words, Lin Chenghui looked at Ning Ya, hesitant to speak.

"Boss, the task didn't go through?"

Lin Chenghui nodded.

"Think of other ways! Think of them together." Ning Ya looked at the others and commanded.

Just then, footsteps came from the doorway, accompanied by a voice saying, "Grandma, I'm back."

Upon hearing this, Ning Ya's face lit up with a smile. Her eldest grandson was back, which made things much easier.

The person who came was Lin Keke's older brother, Lin Zihao. If Lin Keke was the most favored among the granddaughters of the Lin family, then Lin Zihao was the most valued among all the grandchildren.

Soon, a young man in his twenties walked in. Before he could speak, Ning Ya had already stepped forward and grabbed his hands. "Good boy, it's good that you're back."

Lin Chenghui and his wife, along with Lin Keke, were also very happy. They went up to Lin Zihao to inquire about his well-being, and in their joy, they even forgot about Lin Keke.

Lin Zihao greeted the elders present one by one, and then inquired about his other siblings. He then turned to his father and said, "I just returned from my training trip, and before I even got home, I heard about Coco's situation. What should we do now?"

Upon hearing his son's question, Lin Chenghui recounted everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zihao showed no sign of worry; instead, he appeared confident and composed.

"Mom and Dad, Grandma, don't worry, this is nothing serious."

Upon hearing this, the person who was called looked at him expectantly, and Lin Keke's eyes also lit up.

“Ancient cultural knowledge is extremely rare and has been gradually deciphered. Even if my sister is wrong, it's not something that cannot be forgiven.”

"Do you want me to admit my mistake?" Lin Keke immediately stopped smiling.

“Admitting a mistake is no big deal. It doesn’t make you lose face; on the contrary, it shows your magnanimity and the good quality of admitting and correcting your mistakes,” Lin Zihao advised patiently.

Although Lin Keke nodded in agreement, she was still unwilling to give up.
