(five hundred and forty-eight)

Cai Wenchuan thought to himself, "So, that's why Old Master Lin didn't leave his property to Lin Tingyue? What about Lin Tingxuan?"

Could it be? He quickly looked at Lin Tingxuan.

Lin Tingxuan seemed to realize something himself, and suddenly got up from the ground. He staggered to Zhang Yingzi and asked her with a pale face, "Mom, am I, am I, Dad's, biological son?" His body trembled like a leaf in a storm.

Zhang Yingzi replied weakly, "Yes, he is my biological son." But she kept her head down and avoided eye contact with Lin Tingxuan, which, from an outsider's perspective, made it seem as if she felt guilty.

Lin Tingxuan suddenly stood up again and raised his voice at Attorney Zhang, "Did you hear that? My mom said I'm my dad's biological son. That's not fair, that's not fair! Children have inheritance rights!"

Attorney Zhang was getting impatient. His face was as dark as a pot lid. He put away his briefcase and said coldly to Lin Tingxuan, "Whether you are Mr. Lin's biological son or not is not up to your mother to decide. You need to present the facts and evidence! In addition, the will I am promoting is Mr. Lin's will. If you have any objections, you can take it to court."

Lin Tingxuan seemed to be fixed in place by magic, frozen in place.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohong burst into laughter, and everyone's attention turned to her.

Zhang Xiaohong hated that her husband, even on his deathbed, still cared about his concubine and gave her a share of his inheritance. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hahaha, hahaha, Zhang Yingzi, now you know, right? He knows everything! He knows you did things that betrayed him, that these two are bastards, not his children, so you didn't get a single penny. He knows Tingfeng is his true bloodline, so he gave him a share. Hahaha, hahaha, you think he's stupid, that he's been completely fooled by you, you vixen? Hahaha, hahaha!"

Lin Tingyue screamed and ran out, as if she couldn't accept this terrible fact. Lin Tingxuan fainted on the spot.

Cai Wenchuan, worried about Lin Tingyue, quickly followed her out.

Zhang Yingzi slowly stood up, looked around, her expression calm, even a hint of a smile on her face. She slowly said, "His arrangement is simply to make us continue fighting after his death. Since that's the case, then I'll grant his wish. Lin Tingfeng, let's go to court!"

After saying this, Madam Zi helped the unconscious Lin Tingxuan up and hurriedly left.

Cai Wenchuan ran out after Lin Tingyue, but he was too late. By the time he ran out of the Lin family mansion, Lin Tingyue had already disappeared. He immediately became anxious.

He stood in the Lin family garden and dialed Lin Tingyue's number on his phone, but she didn't answer. Turning around, he looked at the Lin family mansion. Madam Zi and the First Madam were arguing fiercely, and Lin Tingxuan had fainted to the side, yet no one paid him any attention. Moreover, Lin Tingyue, who had run away, was completely ignored. It seemed that Xiaoyue was indeed pitiful. If he didn't take care of her, probably no one in the world would care about her anymore.

Cai Wenchuan recalled that from childhood to adulthood, it seemed that only he himself truly cared about Lin Tingyue. Her father and mother seemed to be just decorations, never fulfilling their responsibilities as parents.

Cai Wenchuan sighed inwardly and began searching for Lin Tingyue aimlessly along the winding mountain road. As he searched, he kept dialing Lin Tingyue's number, hoping that she would suddenly have a change of heart and be willing to answer his calls.

He thought with a heavy heart, to be told in front of so many people that she wasn't Old Master Lin's daughter when she was over twenty years old. Anyone in the world would find that unbearable. So even if Xiaoyue was a troubled girl and didn't do well in school, she should be forgiven and understood. After all, being born into such a family, it would be a miracle if she could study hard and make progress every day. Xiaoyue was just an ordinary child.

Cai Wenchuan searched frantically, dialing Lin Tingyue's number repeatedly, but no one answered. Time ticked by, the sun gradually set, twilight descended like a veil, and the sky darkened. His anxiety intensified, and sweat beaded on his back. Xiaoyue had run off like this, not returning home after dark; where could she possibly spend the night? If she was in the nearby jungle, it would be extremely dangerous. Firstly, the temperature was low in the wild at night, and secondly, wild boars roamed this area. If she had gone to the city, there were many bad people in that society, and it would be very dangerous for a young and beautiful girl to be out alone!

In Cai Wenchuan's heart, Lin Tingyue was always a little girl who had never grown up and desperately needed to be taken care of.

Just as he was getting very anxious, his phone rang. Cai Wenchuan thought it was Lin Tingyue calling and answered it happily. However, to his surprise, it was his mother calling.

Cai Wenchuan froze, his joyful smile gradually turning to ashes. His mother calling him at this time meant that the meeting at the Lin family mansion should have already ended.

What did his mother want to talk to him about? The old woman rarely called him unless it was something very urgent.

He answered the phone with a heavy heart, and his mother's anxious voice came through: "Son, where are you?"

Where is he? Cai Wenchuan looked up. In the deepening twilight, he stood on the forest path. White mist was rising from the bushes, like a light veil.

At that moment, even he himself didn't know where he was. In order not to worry the old woman, he could only say something incoherently: "Mom, I'm outside. Is there something you need?"

The old man sighed and then said, "Come back, your father and I have something important to tell you."

Sure enough! Cai Wenchuan's heart sank, as if a heavy lead plate had been pressed down on his chest. He thought about the shocked and disappointed expressions on his parents' faces when they saw him with Lin Tingyue these past few days, and he knew that his parents would talk to him sooner or later once they found out that he was with Lin Tingyue. But he did not expect that day to come so soon.

Xiaoyue's whereabouts are still unknown, how can he go home? Therefore, Cai Wenchuan tried to find a reason not to go home: "Mom, I have an important task at work that I need to finish immediately, how about I come home in a few days?"

However, the old man seemed not to hear him and said in a commanding tone, "Come home immediately, your dad and I are waiting for you to have dinner!" Then he hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.

Cai Wenchuan paused for a moment, then heard the phone call end. He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and then found Gaode Maps to locate his home. With the help of the map's navigation, he finally made his way out of the deep mountains and forests, and after recognizing the road, he slowly walked towards his home.

My steps grew heavier and heavier, my legs feeling as if they were filled with lead.
