Chapter 115

Lin Ge was noncommittal toward Lin Xinyi’s display of determination. It was not that he did not believe her words; rather, no matter how pleasant words might sound, what mattered in the end was action. Having been reborn and living a second life, he had seen through the facade of so-called familial love. Even if Lin Xinyi had chosen to stand by him in a life-or-death moment in this lifetime, he would not trust her with all his heart. After all, it was his excessive trust in his so-called relatives in his past life that had led to him dying in bitterness and resentment. The price he paid with his life in the past taught him that only he himself was truly reliable. That was why he was now working hard to improve his own strength. If he were strong enough, he would not care about the petty actions of others. But for now, he was not yet strong enough; he had to move step by step, cautiously and strategically. Although Lin Xinyi was indeed sincere toward him at the moment, it would still take time. If time eventually proved that she was a good sister worthy of his trust, he would naturally grant her the respect a sister deserved.
