I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?
Jiang Can co...
"You brat, what did you say to Lin Zhaojiang?"
Fourth Uncle struggled to break free from the police, almost jumping in front of Lin Na, and flew into a rage.
"You did all of this, it has nothing to do with me or your mother! You'd better admit it, or you'll be in big trouble!"
Linna looked up at him, saw his wide eyes, saw the anger in his eyes, and saw him explaining to everyone like a clown that these crimes were not his, but that he had failed to raise his adopted daughter properly, causing her to commit heinous crimes.
They also said that an adopted daughter is an adopted daughter, her bloodline is not pure, she doesn't look like the Lin family at all, and she doesn't have good genes.
Finally, we heard the words: "It was all her doing! Zhaojiang, you have to believe your fourth uncle! We're family after all, Linna is just an outsider! She instigated our tax evasion, she provided us with the money to falsify accounts, she used public funds for personal gain... It was all her doing, she's the one who did it all!"
Despite being mentally prepared, Linna was still heartbroken when her parents, who had raised her, pushed her out in front of so many people like a shield.
She couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over, grabbing a document from the table and throwing it at her adoptive father. Chaos erupted in the conference room. The bodyguards tried to separate them, but Lin Zhaojiang coughed heavily, stopping them with a look.
Lin Zhaojiang only slowly walked over after Lin Na and her adoptive father had fought to a standstill.
The two men lay prostrate at his feet, like defeated prisoners, utterly devoid of dignity.
But Fourth Uncle still stubbornly insisted: "That brat...that...that ingrate!"
Linna spat in his face.
Fourth Uncle wanted to slap her again, but just as he raised his hand, Lin Zhaojiang stepped on his foot and stopped him!
"ah……"
"Fourth Uncle," Lin Zhaojiang sneered, "your dog-eat-dog drama is over. Now, Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt should go where they belong!"
The police pulled the two men up from the ground and dragged them away. Auntie was already pale, while Uncle was still putting on a desperate struggle.
As he walked away, he turned back and shouted, "Lin Zhaojiang, there's something else you don't know, is there? Ha, that woman you kept back then was ruined by this damned girl! She even killed your child..."
Lin Zhaojiang's eyes darkened, and a murderous aura appeared on his face.
It turns out the whole world knew, except for him, who was kept in the dark.
Uncle Si's shouts grew fainter and fainter, gradually disappearing at the end of the corridor. Lin Na coldly watched the direction he was taken away, a strange smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
Lin Zhaojiang is ruthless; after dealing with those two old men, she's next.
Linna at this moment seemed to have a somewhat death-defying mentality.
She glanced at Lin Zhaojiang and smiled gently: "Brother, shall we find a place to talk alone?"
*
Lin Zhaojiang led Lin Na to a small conference room. It was more like an interrogation room than a conference room, and even colder than an interrogation room.
Lin Zhaojiang sat on the sofa, while Lin Na didn't even have a chair and could only kneel on the floor. His gaze was cold as he scrutinized the woman, unable to understand what deep-seated hatred existed between them that would make her risk her entire life for revenge.
"Why exactly?" Lin Zhaojiang asked in a low voice, "Why did you bribe Song Huai? Why did you harm Wanwan!"
Linna smiled, a nonchalant expression on her pale face.
There's a saying: "He who has no desires is invincible."
People are often at their strongest when they no longer desire anything. Just like Linna at this moment, she felt that in all her decades of life, only in this moment was she truly free of any burdens.
Lin Zhaojiang's eyes were like knives; this was the first time in her life she had dared to look him in the eye like that.
"Big brother," Linna said softly, "because I hate the Lin family."
"What?" Lin Zhaojiang narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that Lin Na still didn't speak, he waved his hand to let his men leave. Only the two of them remained in the room, which, though not large, now felt empty and quiet.
Even your voice echoes.
Linna took a deep breath, remained silent for a moment, and then told everything.
She hated the Lin family, who raised her but didn't love her properly, leaving her to grow up in an environment where she felt extremely insecure.
Since her younger siblings were born, her parents have never given her a kind look. Even when they do smile, it's only because her siblings are there.
From as far back as she can remember, she had to help her younger siblings get their bottles and change their diapers, make them laugh, and not make them cry, otherwise she would be met with her parents' disapproving looks and days of indifference.
"I've always been good at reading people's expressions since I was little," Lin Na laughed self-deprecatingly. "Big brother, you haven't studied micro-expressions, have you? But I have... I've tried everything to please my parents, almost giving it my all. But why can't I win their hearts?"
“They took me from the orphanage. I have no relatives left in this world, only them! Why are they treating me like this!”
Lin Zhaojiang gritted his teeth, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
As far as I can remember, Lin Na didn't have a good time at her fourth uncle's house, and she had virtually no presence in the family. Even after she joined Zhonglin Group, her younger siblings still managed to look down on her.
"Why?" Lin Na said indignantly. "They all bought their way into university, yet they hold high positions, while I earned my place through hard work and talent. I did everything I could to get into a prestigious university and graduate school. Are all of that worthless in the Lin family?!"
"Big brother, I also want to be a good person! But has the Lin family ever given me a chance? In the company, I always take the blame for any mistakes, but when I make contributions, it's all thanks to the direct descendants of the Lin family... Ha, you guys are so unfair!"
She raised her head, her smile seeming to mock herself, and also to mock the injustice of the world.
Lin Zhaojiang's expression grew increasingly grim. "I've never heard of any of these things you're talking about."
“Yes, you’re in such a high position!” Lin Na laughed, but tears welled up in her eyes. “You’re a god in the clouds, of course you can’t see the suffering of the people. Besides, you were busy with Song Wan every day back then, and you put aside many things in the company as much as you could. How would you know what I went through…”
“My proposal was once stolen by my younger brother,” she continued. “That day I stood outside your office hoping you would say something fair. I’ve always respected you since I was a child, and I believed you could handle this matter fairly… But I stood there all afternoon, and you didn’t even glance at me!”
"Do you know how many sleepless nights I stayed up for that project, how much effort I put in! How can the Lin family steal the fruits of my labor with such a clear conscience?"
"Since no one from the Lin family will stand up for me, I will have to seek justice for myself!"
