Chapter 106: Just a Joke

It was a simple greeting and both sides seemed very polite.

Chen Qin patted Chen Lang's hand and said with a smile, "Lang Lang, you and Xiaoyou are both young people. Don't stay with us old people. Take Xiaoyou out to play."

Chen Lang didn't think about anything else. He took Lin You's hand and said goodbye to several elders.

They didn't know that as soon as they left, the attitudes of the people who had been chatting happily just now quickly changed.

Their topic quickly shifted from the two children.

Father Lin and Ms. Su had no say in these topics, so they could only listen awkwardly on the side.

It would be fine if they were just listeners, but they would talk about the useless son of a certain family, who kept several girls from ordinary families outside and finally had to spend some money to get rid of them, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

He also said that if you meet some people with big appetites, it is not enough to just give them money, you have to use some tricks behind the scenes to deal with them cleanly.

After saying this, Chen Qin turned around and smiled at Lin You's parents.

"In-laws, don't worry, we are not talking about Xiaoyou."

It doesn't matter whether they are suspicious or not. Ms. Su and Mr. Lin are not fools. At this point, the two people in their fifties have vaguely sensed the attitude of Chen Lang's parents.

They were actually already thinking about how to talk to Lin You about this issue after they returned.

However, it is obvious that these people are not willing to make indirect comments.

Just as a few people were chatting, a young man rushed out from a room next door, holding a bag in his arms, and ran forward.

A man who looked like a butler was running behind them, shouting, "Stealing! This kid is stealing! Catch him!"

Policemen catch bad guys, and even if they change jobs, these things are engraved in Lin's father's bones.

Father Lin didn't have time to think about it at the time and immediately ran after the boy.

The boy ran fast, circling in the garden, challenging Lin's father as he ran.

After all, Mr. Lin has retired to the second line, and his physical fitness is no match for that of a young man. After two laps, he was exhausted and out of breath.

He gradually slowed down his pace and noticed that everyone at the banquet was laughing, and their laughter was full of malicious mockery.

Ms. Su's arm was held by Chen Qin, her eyes were red and tears had already fallen.

Father Lin, who was immersed in catching the bad guys, didn't know it, but Ms. Su saw it clearly. The boy deliberately led Father Lin to run and deliberately went around in circles to make him look like a joke.

Everyone around them treated their chase as a farce.

"Hey, didn't you say you were a police officer? Why are you running so slowly?"

"Ah, that's Chen Lang's girlfriend's father, a policeman whose monthly salary isn't even enough for me to buy a snack."

"You're already this old, and you're still a junior police officer, and you don't get promoted?"

"Hey, he's so funny when he runs, and he looks like a toad when he breathes..."

"These poor people are just fun to tease. Look how they run for a little bit of money."

"To us, it's just some insignificant property, but to them, it's something very valuable. Of course we have to get it back."

Everyone was talking at once, without any concealment, and their contempt for Lin's father was fully revealed.

The young man then slowly swung the strap of his backpack and said with a smile, "Uncle, this is my own bag. Why are you chasing me?"

He looked in Chen Qin's direction again and said, "Aunt, I was just joking. This is my own bag. I didn't break the law, did I?"

Chen Qin smiled and said a few words in a pretentious manner, "Why are you so naughty, kid? Don't make such jokes in the future."

"I understand." The young man walked past Lin's father with a swagger, and deliberately turned back to say to him:

"Uncle, I'm sorry you've been chasing this bag for so long. How about I give it to you? It's a limited edition bag worth millions. You can't make that much money even if you chase thieves your whole life, right?"

"By the way, I can also give your daughter a bag. After all, if she wants to be with my cousin, she still has to put on a show."

"Alas, you've lived most of your life and still can't buy your daughter a decent bag. How pitiful."

Father Lin has been sticking to his post all his life and has always done things that he can be proud of. Although he has not done anything earth-shattering, he has always lived up to his conscience.

He had never been insulted like this in all these years.

The values he firmly believed in became the cheapest joke in the eyes of these people.

The impact of faith was too great for Lin's father.

These people made him a loser and a useless father who could not support his daughter or buy her a decent bag!

Ms. Su watched Lin's father's face turn from red to blue, and then from blue to white.

She suddenly broke free from Chen Qin and rushed to Lin's father. "Dad, are you feeling unwell again? Don't worry, we'll go to the hospital right away..."

Lin You was in Chen Lang's room at the time, and Chen Lang showed her his childhood photos in an album.

Hearing the noisy noise outside, the two of them walked to the balcony and saw the scene in the garden downstairs.

Lin You watched as his father fell into Ms. Su's arms.

When he fell, he was facing Lin You.

Lin You saw his lips trembling constantly and his eyes staring straight in her direction.

Those eyes were filled with love for his daughter and unwillingness to accept this unfair world.

Father Lin was ultimately unable to be sent to the hospital and left this world with regret on the way.

Lin You remembered that night, she knelt outside the hospital morgue, clinging to the door frame, crying hysterically.

Chen Lang and his parents were also around, and they kept explaining to her.

They said that it was a prank played by their relative's child and that it was too much, and it was their fault.

They said they didn't know that Lin's father had a bad heart, and they didn't expect that a joke would cause such a big accident.

They are willing to make maximum compensation.

compensation?

What compensation should be used?

Need money?

In the eyes of these people, it seems that as long as they give enough compensation and exchange enough benefits, they have done their best.

At that moment, Lin You realized it clearly.

She is different from these people after all.

She also knew that from that moment on, she and Chen Lang were destined not to be together.

What made Lin You even more upset was that some busybody filmed the video of Lin's father chasing the boy in the garden and sent it to Lin You.

Lin You opened the video at the door of the morgue.

She watched Father Lin in the video, constantly panting, constantly chasing the boy, and constantly being laughed at by the wealthy people around him who were watching the fun...
