After Becoming Widowed, I Inherited a Billion-Dollar Fortune

To protect her billion-dollar fortune, the newly widowed Su Jin is forced to get married again.

After the wedding, the two agreed not to interfere with each other and not to affect each other...

Chapter 197: How to Try to Persuade Him to Quit

Su Jin finished washing up and was about to turn off the light and go to sleep when she received a call from her parents.

Mrs. Su sounded guilty and remorseful: "I never expected that you would be the one to solve these crises every time. You even sacrificed your marriage to protect the Su Group that your father and I owned, but we feel terrible about what you did."

"Mom, don't say that. I did all of this voluntarily. Since it's the Su Group, and I'm surnamed Su, how can I stand idly by?"

On the other end of the phone, Chairman Su sighed heavily: "It's all my fault as a father. I couldn't support Su Corporation and I even dragged you and your mother down with me."

Today, Su Jincai resolved the financial crisis of the Su Group, spending nearly one billion yuan to fill the hole.

Mrs. Su and Mr. Su felt very guilty when they learned that their daughter had once again saved their Su Group. Mrs. Su, in particular, felt the most sorry for her daughter and had told her husband a long time ago about the grievances Xiao Jin had suffered in the Zhao family.

Mrs. Su felt that if it weren't for the Su Group, her daughter would never have married Zhao Xichen back then.

If their daughter hadn't married into the Zhao family, she could have stayed with her boyfriend. It was their unintentional act of breaking up their relationship.

Su Jin: "Dad, Mom, you should get some rest. Let's not dwell on the past. The most important thing right now is that our family can be together peacefully."

......

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Su wiped away her tears and looked at her husband: "She suffered so much injustice. She even hid her illness from us back then. If it weren't for us, Xiao Jin would have been happily together with Zheng Lin long ago, and wouldn't have gone through so many misunderstandings. Now she's making a fuss about divorce."

At this moment, a man arrived at the gate of the Su residence; he was the Zheng family's butler.

The housekeeper made a special trip just to put the Su couple at ease. The feeling of talking on the phone is completely different from talking face-to-face.

The butler, speaking on behalf of the master, said, "Don't worry, my master will definitely intervene in Miss He Ru's marriage to my second young master. Moreover, my master said that if he dares to actually marry He Ru, it would be bigamy, and he will be the first to sue in court."

Zheng Youguo was determined to put righteousness above family ties, not only sending his steward to appease his in-laws but also keeping himself busy.

Zheng Family Manor.

Zheng Youguo placed a check on the table and said, "Take the money and leave my son."

“That’s not what I want. I really want to marry Zheng Lin.”

He Ru's eyes were filled with glistening tears. She quickly glanced at the amount on the check: twenty million. This number couldn't buy her love for Zheng Lin!

Seeing her looking around, Zheng Youguo said, "Your godmother just fell asleep, so don't bother looking. She won't come out to protect you now. If you don't accept this check, think about whether Zheng Lin will really marry you. You might as well accept the check now, at least you won't lose both your money and your lover. I'm only advising you this way because you're He Rong's goddaughter. Others wouldn't have this opportunity."

"Uncle, but my feelings for Zheng Lin are genuine."

"Put all of this away." Zheng Youguo had little patience for outsiders. "Take this money and find a place to settle down abroad."

When the butler returned, he saw He Ru running out and glanced at the undelivered checks on the table. He knew that the master's attempt to persuade the man to take the money and leave had failed.

"At first, I thought Zheng Lin was just being silly and wanted to take pity on He Ru and let her take some money and leave. But this person just insisted on getting involved and wouldn't listen to any advice."

Butler: "Then how about I go and talk to Madam again tomorrow?"

"No, she still thinks I'm lying to her. She thinks it's impossible that Zheng Lin isn't my biological son. Just ignore her."

The next day, Zheng Lin returned to the manor.

He also brought Zheng Guang's bad news to Zheng Youguo.

Zheng Youguo's face darkened. "Don't tell your mother yet. She can't handle this shock."

In fact, Zheng Youguo had vaguely heard about Zheng Guang's affairs, but he never went to verify them.

"She'll find out sooner or later," Zheng Lin said.

"It's better to bring my grandson back as soon as possible. As long as Zhao Qiyuan brings the child back, and then your mother finds out about Zheng Guang's imprisonment, the grandson can distract her a little."

“It’s not easy to negotiate with Zhao Qiyuan.” Zheng Lin lit a cigarette and took a puff. “She finally accepted the money with great difficulty, and the child is being raised well. It’s just that Zhao Qiyuan’s condition is not good. The current situation of the Zhao family is not optimistic.”

He paused, then said, "Dad, my sister-in-law has actually changed a lot too. You can try to accept her."

Speaking of his eldest son's wife, Zheng Youguo took out a cigarette from his cigarette case, lit it, took a puff, and said earnestly, "Zheng Guang has rarely come home since he got married. Since the child was born, she has been taking care of the child by herself. I know very well that it's not that I don't accept your sister-in-law, but that she herself never gives us a chance to say more than a few words."

Zheng Lin didn't know what to say; he couldn't handle this kind of situation himself.

He sat for a while, smoking two or three cigarettes with Zheng Youguo, before standing up: "Zheng Qi has been staying by my side recently and has also graduated. He is of average ability, but very adaptable. I hope you can arrange a suitable job for him."

“Then let’s go with the vice president.” Zheng Youguo knew what he was up to as soon as he heard it. “Your brother’s position just happened to be vacant. He’s usually not very busy, so it’s perfect for Zheng Qi. It will also put your uncle and aunt’s minds at ease. Actually, they called me too. Even if you hadn’t asked, the vice president position would have gone to Zheng Qi.”

He pointed at Zheng Lin with his hand in the air and said, "You've always been good to Zheng Qi since we were little."

Zheng Lin never spoke a kind word about his other siblings, but Zheng Qi was different; he had been protected by Zheng Lin since childhood.

Zheng Youguo also noticed that Zheng Qi's eyes were small and his mind wasn't as quick as the other children's, so he was always ostracized and ridiculed by other children of the same generation. At that time, Zheng Lin probably felt that he was an illegitimate child and was also often ridiculed by others. The two of them felt sorry for each other, which is why they protected their cousin so much.

No one knows a son better than his father. Although Zheng Youguo was not Zheng Lin's biological father, he treated him like his own son. From the moment he brought the child to the Zheng family, most of his attention was on Zheng Lin. He had never observed his own son, Zheng Guang, so carefully.

"You don't want to hire me as your brother's lawyer?" Zheng Lin was worried that the old man would try to protect his own, so he had prepared a set of excuses to refuse, but he hadn't used them yet.

Zheng Youguo: "Let him reflect on his actions inside. He's been completely bewitched by a woman, neglecting his wife and children without a second thought. If he dies in there, it has nothing to do with the Zheng family!"

Anyone with eyes can see that these were just words spoken in anger.

No one really wants their son to die; they all just want him to be happy, no matter how wicked he may be.
