Chapter 278 The Greedy Lin Family Mother and Son
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She quickened her pace and rushed into the house, shouting, "What are you doing!"
The people in the room were startled by the sudden sound. When Lin Wanwan's adoptive mother saw her, she was stunned at first, then curled her lips and said, "Oh, isn't this Wanwan? You still remember to come back. I thought you were enjoying a good life with the Huo family and had forgotten about us a long time ago."
Lin Fangsheng also said sarcastically: "Sister, you have to bring more money home when you come back. Our life is not easy now."
Lin Wanwan looked at their faces with disgust. She walked straight to Lin Daqiang, held his hand, and said in a choked voice: "Dad, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you suffer."
When Lin Daqiang saw Lin Wanwan, his eyes were filled with surprise and touching, tears streaming down his face, "Wanwan, you're finally back. Dad thought...thought I'd never see you again."
Huo Jingchen stepped forward, put the gift aside, and said respectfully to Lin Daqiang: "Dad, Wanwan and I are late. Don't worry, we will never let you suffer any more in the future."
When Lin Wanwan's adoptive mother heard this, her eyes lit up, "Oh, isn't this my rich son-in-law? He's here, so we have to show him some respect. Our family is in a difficult situation right now and we're short of money."
As she spoke, Lin's mother made a gesture as if she was short of money.
Lin Wanwan glanced at her coldly, "Money? How have you treated Dad over the years? Now you still have the nerve to ask for money? I tell you, from now on, I will take good care of Dad, and don't even think about taking a penny from him."
Lin Fangsheng got anxious when he heard this, "Sister, you can't be so heartless, I'm your brother."
Lin Wanwan didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. She turned to Lin Daqiang and said, "Dad, come back to the Huo family with us. We will take good care of you."
Lin Daqiang hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "Wanwan, Dad is used to living here and doesn't want to go anywhere else. It's all right as long as you can come back to see Dad more often."
Lin Wanwan looked at her adoptive father distressedly, "Dad, why are you doing this?"
"Wanwan, you no longer owe our Lin family anything over the years. Just go back and live your own life and don't worry about us." Father Lin said with red eyes, patting the back of her hand.
"How can this be possible?" Mother Lin was immediately unhappy when she heard this. "This damn girl, our Lin family raised her for more than ten years, and she ran off to enjoy a comfortable life, completely ignoring our lives. No matter what you say today, you have to give us some money."
Lin Fangsheng nodded, "Yes, I've been married for four years, it's time for me to give back to our family. Mom, do you think we should make up for the betrothal money?"
As he said this, Lin Fangsheng winked at Lin's mother.
Mother Lin understood and immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, Wanwan, I raised you for more than ten years. You are married and have children. You are the wife of the richest man in Kyoto. Shouldn't I make up for the betrothal gift?"
Looking at their greedy faces, Lin Wanwan felt extremely disgusted. "Dowry? Didn't Jing Chen give you money? How much more do you want?"
Mother Lin held up a finger and said, "You have to give at least one million. No, your husband is worth hundreds of billions, so you have to give at least one hundred million, right?"
Huo Jingchen's face darkened, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness. He took a step forward, protecting Lin Wanwan behind him, and said in a low and cold voice: "You have quite a big appetite. I haven't settled accounts with you for the grievances that Wanwan has suffered in the Lin family over the years. Now you dare to ask for a huge betrothal gift?"
Mother Lin took a step back in fear of Huo Jingchen's aura, but when she thought of the money, she straightened her back again, "Huo Jingchen, stop scaring me. I raised Wanwan, so what's wrong with asking for a betrothal gift? This is only natural!"
Lin Wanwan was so angry that she was shaking all over. "It's natural? Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a parent for a single day? From childhood to adulthood, haven't I suffered enough? You treated me like a maid, and now you only want to make money from me."
Huo Jingchen patted Lin Wanwan's shoulder, signaling her to calm down, then took out a check from his pocket and said, "This is one million. Take it. Consider it as buying out the relationship between you and Wanwan. From now on, don't harass her and Lin's father anymore."
Lin Fangsheng snatched the check, looked at the amount, and jumped up immediately, "One million? You're just paying off a beggar! I told you, at least 100 million!"
Huo Jingchen sneered, "One hundred million? Do you think you deserve it?"
Huo Jingchen took out a check and said coldly, "This is one million. You can either take it and leave, or don't even think about getting a penny. You will also have to pay the price for what you have done over the years."
Mother Lin and Lin Fangsheng looked at each other, feeling a little scared, but unwilling to give up the money. While they were hesitating, Lin Daqiang suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Don't force Wanwan. We can't take this money. Wanwan, you and your son-in-law should go, and don't worry about us anymore."
Lin Wanwan looked at her adoptive father, her eyes full of tears, "Dad, how could I abandon you?"
Huo Jingchen pondered for a moment, and said to Lin Daqiang: "Dad, please come with us. I know what you are worried about, but I will arrange a quiet and comfortable place for you to live so that you can enjoy your old age and they will not disturb you again."
Lin Daqiang shook his head. "Wanwan, I heard from Jing Chen that you have found your biological parents. You should live the life you want. You are no longer my daughter, Lin Daqiang. There is no need to get involved."
When Lin Wanwan heard what her adoptive father said, she was struck by lightning and burst into tears. "Dad, what are you talking about? In my heart, you will always be my father. I only know that you raised me and gave me a home."
Huo Jingchen was also slightly moved. He said, "Dad, Wanwan is right. The grace of raising a child is greater than heaven. Don't worry, no matter what, we will not abandon you. As for those irrelevant people, I have my own way to deal with them."
After saying that, he glanced sharply at Lin's mother and Lin Fangsheng, and the two of them felt uneasy when they were looked at.
Although Mother Lin was a little afraid of Huo Jingchen, when she thought of the one million just now, she quickly snatched it from Huo Jingchen and said with a smile: "Son-in-law, we are all family, why are you so fierce?"
Lin Fangsheng also said: "Yes! Brother-in-law, I am also desperate. There is no other way. Brother-in-law, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
Huo Jingchen looked at them coldly, his eyes full of contempt, "You are really shameless. If you take the money, you'd better keep your promise and disappear from our lives from now on. Otherwise, I will let you know the consequences of offending me."
Lin's mother and Lin Fangsheng nodded repeatedly and wanted to run out with the check, fearing that Huo Jingchen would go back on his word.
Lin Wanwan looked at her adoptive father, her heart filled with reluctance and determination, "Dad, please come with us. Without you by my side, how can I live my so-called new life with peace of mind?"
Lin Daqiang sighed, looked at Lin Wanwan's sincere eyes, and finally nodded.
Huo Jingchen immediately arranged for someone to pack up Lin Daqiang's things and took Lin Wanwan and his adoptive father away from this place full of painful memories.
Along the way, Lin Wanwan held her adoptive father's hand tightly, as if she was afraid of losing him again.
Huo Jingchen arranged Lin Daqiang to live in a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, prepared a warm and comfortable room for him, and arranged for someone to take care of his daily life.
When Lin Wanwan came out of the room, Huo Jingchen was waiting for her at the door.
"Wanwan, has your dad gone to bed yet?"
Lin Wanwan nodded, stepped forward and took Huo Jingchen's hand, saying, "Jingchen, I have something to tell you."
Huo Jingchen nodded, "Then let's go downstairs and talk."
Then, they went downstairs hand in hand.
Arriving at the living room on the first floor, Huo Jingchen pulled Lin Wanwan to sit on the sofa.
"Jing Chen, why did you give Lin Fangsheng and the others one million? Don't you know that once they have squandered the money, they will come to you again?" Lin Wanwan frowned and said worriedly.
Huo Jingchen gently stroked Lin Wanwan's hair, his eyes gentle but firm, "Wanwan, I know their morals, but I did this, first, to stabilize them first so that we can successfully get Dad out; second, I already have evidence of their bad deeds over the years. If they dare to entangle me again, I will make them pay a heavy price."
Lin Wanwan listened to Huo Jingchen's words, her heart was filled with emotion, and she leaned on his shoulder, "Jingchen, thank you, for always being by my side to support and protect me for so many years."
Huo Jingchen hugged Lin Wanwan tightly, "Silly girl, you are my wife, of course I will protect you and the people you love. Besides, I can't tolerate them bullying you like this."
In the following days, Lin Daqiang lived very comfortably in the villa, and his physical and mental state improved a lot.
Lin Wanwan also often brings her children to visit him, and the family lives in harmony.
That day, when Lin Wanwan took her two children to a dessert shop, she met her former best friend Fang Xiaoxuan.
Fang Xiaoxuan and her boyfriend Zou Yanbin were together and they were also having a date at this dessert shop and enjoying afternoon tea.
"Wanwan, is it really you?" Fang Xiaoxuan looked at Lin Wanwan with surprise.
Lin Wanwan also showed a surprised smile, "Xiaoxuan, long time no see, what a coincidence, I met you here." As she said that, she looked at Zou Yanbin beside Fang Xiaoxuan and nodded slightly.
Fang Xiaoxuan held Lin Wanwan's hand, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Wanwan, where have you been for the past three years? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
Zou Yanbin, who was standing by, echoed, "Yes! Xiaoxuan has always been thinking about you. She knew you had been missing for three years, and she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep all night, and she kept talking about you."
Hearing their words, Lin Wanwan's eyes flashed with guilt, "Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry, I made you worry about me all these years."
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoxuan could no longer control her emotions. She hugged Lin Wanwan and cried, "Wanwan, I'm glad you're back. I'm so happy to see that you're okay."
