Following his master's dying wish, he entered a marriage to appease his wife's family for three years, enduring all sorts of humiliation. Now that the three years have passed, the blind son...
Lin Yu rubbed his nose and had no choice but to take out the VIP card and place it in his wife's hand.
Lu Xueqing glanced at it, then asked, "Explain yourself, where did this card come from, and how much money is in it!"
Having easily spent a million, Lu Xueqing believed there was definitely more than a million here.
She really couldn't understand where Lin Yu, who only ran a massage parlor, got so much money from.
"Don't tell me it's your secret stash of money. Your little bit of secret money isn't even enough to buy dog food!"
"Oh right, you're not going to tell me again that you're the head of some kind of pavilion, or that you own more than a hundred islands and coal mines or something, are you?"
Lin Yu took a deep breath.
That concludes the discussion!
What am I supposed to say?
"Cough cough!" Lin Yu coughed twice, then let out a long sigh.
In that mere 0.01 seconds, he had already come up with the answer.
"Honey, I didn't want to tell you!"
"But since you want to know, I'll tell you!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!" Lu Xueqing was so angry she was grinding her teeth.
"Well, then I'll tell you the truth!"
"Before I met you, I was a fortune teller! But I'm not like those swindlers. My family has a long tradition of shamanic practices, you've heard of spirit mediums, right?"
"Alas, I used to be a shaman, specializing in telling fortunes for people. I revealed too many heavenly secrets, and in the end, I was punished by heaven. I committed the five evils and three deficiencies, which is why I went blind!"
"But during the years I was a 'great immortal,' I was incredibly successful. I entertained big bosses and made a lot of money! I've never taken out this card because I felt the money wasn't cleanly earned, and I didn't dare to spend it recklessly!" Lin Yu said confidently, as if he were telling the truth.
Lu Xueqing actually believed it.
Her expression was agitated; she immediately grasped his hand, her eyes reddening, and exclaimed, "Lin Yu, why didn't you tell me sooner!"
Lin Yu gave a wry smile, "I'm just afraid you'll look down on me!"
"How could that be? You're my husband, how could I possibly dislike you!"
Lu Xueqing looked helpless, then suddenly thought of something and quickly shook her head, "Then, then we can't spend any more money. What if you suffer divine retribution again and go blind again?"
Lu Xueqing thought for a moment, then quickly put the card away and took off the bracelet on her wrist. "You must never touch this card again, and I won't wear this bracelet anymore!"
"Honey, I just want you to be okay. Please don't ever tell fortunes for anyone again!" Lu Xueqing said with a worried expression.
Lin Yu's expression twitched.
This really is like smashing your own foot.
"Lin Yu, you have to promise me!" Lu Xueqing said with utmost seriousness.
"Okay, honey, I promise you, alright?" Lin Yu had no choice but to agree.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Don't mention it to my mom or Xiaoya, or my mom will start thinking about the money again!"
Lu Xueqing said, biting her lip.
"Did you hear me?!"
"I know, wife!" Lin Yu said with a helpless wry smile.
...
Two days passed quickly.
The debt crisis of Hsiung Feng did not subside with the passage of time, but instead intensified.
Vice President Li Yaolin surrendered himself to the media and revealed who was behind it.
The instigator was none other than the Marshal's wife, Wu Xueqin!
The once magnificent military governor's mansion was instantly embroiled in scandal!
The Governor's Mansion, a luxurious bedroom.
Snap!
A crisp slap.
"You slut, you've completely disgraced the Governor's Mansion!"
Lin Yuanlong glared at Wu Xueqin, who was kneeling on the ground, his expression furious.
He valued his reputation above all else, but he never expected something like this to happen.
Wu Xueqin pursed her lips tightly, then glared at him fiercely, "Lin Yuanlong, is this my fault? I've been painstakingly building Xiongfeng all these years, and you just handed the company over to that little bastard without a second thought! Did you even consider my feelings?"
"You dare to talk back?" Lin Yuanlong immediately raised his hand again, but felt a wave of dizziness and quickly lowered it.
"General!" Uncle Fu quickly came over and helped him up.
"General, you've only just recovered, please don't get angry!"
Lin Yuanlong waved his hand, then sighed, "Fine! Wu Xueqin, return the money to me however you got it! I'll pretend this never happened!"
To save face for the Governor's Mansion, it's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost!
Wu Xueqin did not respond for a long time.
Lin Yuanlong's eyes widened again. "What? You still haven't learned your lesson?"
Wu Xueqin coldly raised her head and replied irrelevantly, "I only want to ask you, what exactly do you mean by bringing that bastard back?"
"Who will be chosen as the heir apparent? Don't forget, my son is the true young marshal. His maternal grandfather is Old Master Wu of the Wu family in Yandu, one of the five powerful elders who hold sway over the court!"
Wu Xueqin couldn't hold back any longer and finally brought this topic up in the open today.
Lin Yuanlong sneered and asked, "Are you threatening me? Do you think it's still ten years ago?"
Wu Xueqin pursed her lips and remained silent.
Lin Yuanlong snorted coldly.
"Back then, when I first took command, I tolerated you again and again for the sake of overall stability!"
"At that time, I begged you not to go too far with Yunlan. Did you show even a shred of pity?"
Lin Yuanlong's voice trembled.
He slowly closed his eyes.
"Ten years ago, you should have known this day would come! Everything we have now is simply the fruit of the seeds you sowed back then!"
Wu Xueqin trembled all over, and then clenched her fists tightly.
"Every man for himself! I have no regrets for my son!!"
"But you!" Wu Xueqin coldly raised her head. "Chuang'er has grown up, have you ever cared for him? Ask yourself, are you fit to be a father?"
"you……"
"Sigh, never mind!" Lin Yuanlong finally shook his head and sighed.
"Isn't what you want from me today just to get a promise?"
"Can!"
"I can assure you that the position of commander-in-chief is ordained by Heaven, and will be given to the most capable person!"
"I, Lin Yuanlong, will never show any favoritism!"
"Besides, I brought Yu'er back this time to make amends to Yunlan! You'd better not cause any more trouble for Yu'er, or don't blame me for disregarding our marital relationship!" After saying that, Lin Yuanlong snorted and then strode out, leaning on his cane.
Wu Xueqin collapsed to the ground.
His face gradually filled with malice and coldness.
"Lin Yuanlong, I never thought that after all these years, you would still be thinking about that lowly servant girl!!"
"Fine, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"You little bastard, with me here, you'll never take my son's position as commander! What makes you, a bastard born of a lowly woman, compare to my son? Hahaha! Just you wait, once I help my son ascend to the position of commander, I will skin you alive, cut you into a thousand pieces, and I will also dig up that lowly woman's grave and grind her bones to dust! Hahahaha!"
