Chapter 315 Infringement (19)

"Ah?" Lin Zhou was stunned and didn't say anything else.

The person on the other end seemed very unhappy, and the voice was stern and urgent: "What? Open the door!"

"No, Dad, it's so late, is it appropriate for her to come to me?"

"Don't worry about whether it's appropriate or not, go open the door, your aunt is here too!"

"What?"

"Go!"

“…”

"What? Don't want to drive? Don't want to drive or can't drive?" Lin's father said in a deep voice: "Lin Zhou, you lied!"

"Dad, my mom's here with me these days. Why did you ask her to come over? Can't you just call me if you have something to say? You have to make things difficult for my mom. You know very well..."

"Don't bring up your mom. Your aunt has done nothing disrespectful to your mom, nor has she done anything wrong to you! But you, on the other hand, do things that are incomprehensible all day long! Tell me, what were you doing at the airport?"

“I didn’t go to the airport…”

"You're lying again!" Lin's father said, "Lin Zhou, growing up, I always thought you had your own backbone and wouldn't be easily deceived. But now it seems that's not the case! Not only have you learned to lie, you're also using your mother to take the blame for you! Is this what a grown man should do?"

"Believe it or not, I said I didn't!"

"Are you going to look for that girl?" Father Lin changed the subject and began to press the issue.

These words startled Lin Zhou. He stood up and walked to the window, watching Yueyue pacing around the sofa. "What girl? I don't know what you are talking about."

"I heard that you had a girlfriend who was a village official, and you even brought her to meet your mother? Is that true?"

"Dad, what do you want to say?" Lin Zhou was restless, his voice gradually rising. "Do I have to ask for your permission before going anywhere now?"

"Just tell me if this is true or not?"

“Yes, it is!”

The irritation turned into a roar: "I have a girlfriend, so what? Is that not okay?"

"What are you yelling about? Is that the way you talk to your father?" Lin's father was also angry, and his yell was louder than Lin Zhou's, almost a roar.

Before Lin Zhou could continue, he roared again: "I don't care whether you're picking someone up or where you're going, you have to come back right now! If I don't see you in half an hour, you know what the consequences will be!"

"I'm not going back!"

Lin Zhou also roared: "Why do you ask me to do this? Do you think that if you threaten me with the company, I will just listen to you, let you control me, and be your puppet?

Dad, I'm your son, not a slave. You don't need to boss me around. I appreciate you giving birth to me and raising me, so I've been tolerant over the years.

But what did you do? You knew what that woman did, but for so many years you turned a blind eye and never saw my needs.

So what right do you have to control me and make demands on me now? Ask yourself, do you act like a father?..."

"What did you say? Tell me again?"

The other end seemed furious, and a sound of something being thrown could be heard over the receiver. Then, a woman's whispered words of persuasion could be heard, mingling with the faint sound of a child crying.

Lin Zhou sighed and sat back down on the sofa. This place was a VIP lounge, reserved for first-class passengers. Ordinary people were not allowed in. Therefore, he was the only one in the room, and the shouting didn't bother him at all.

"dad!"

He sat down, readjusted his emotions, and calmed himself down.

"Please think carefully about what I said. I have something else to do, so I won't say anything more for now!"

"Don't give me that shit," the person on the other end of the line was still angry, and his tone was still impervious to rebuttal: "Don't hang up yet, I haven't finished yet!"

"..." Lin Zhou sighed again: "Then you talk, I'm listening!"

"I'm telling you, the company is about to go public, and we can't afford to have any problems at this critical juncture."

Father Lin regained his composure, but his tone remained serious: "I've already given you a chance. If you still don't know the seriousness of the matter and insist on suing someone for a woman, once the media finds out and makes groundless accusations to discredit the company, then your small company will be finished, and our Lin Group will be finished too.

If things really get to that point, I don't think your girlfriend will have to be a village official anymore."

This sentence was too harsh, and it hit Lin Zhou's weak spot. Using Tian Xin as a threat was like attacking his weak spot, and he exploded:

"If you have any complaints, just come to me. Bullying a girl is nothing! Lin Zhenhua, let me tell you, if you didn't mention her, I could still consider it, but if you insist on making things so ugly, I'll make the decision today. I don't care if your company goes public or not. If you have the guts, find someone to kill me!"

After that, he hung up the phone and threw the phone on the ground in frustration.

aside.

The call came back soon, he took a look and didn't answer.

The conversation he had just had with his father kept echoing in his mind, and his face was full of helplessness and anger.

About a minute later, a text message suddenly came in. He opened it and saw that it was still from his father, Lin Zhenhua.

[Lin Zhou, I've made myself clear. I only ask that you don't cause me any trouble at this critical juncture of the company's IPO. Dad has worked hard for most of his life just for this moment.]

If you really like that girl, once the company passes this hurdle, bring her back to me. After that, whether it's dating or getting married, as long as you like, Dad won't object.

But you have to know what is right and what is not, and don’t act emotionally at this time!

Dad is old, and the company will be left to you two brothers in the future. As the older brother, you should set an example for your younger brothers and not let others lead you by the nose.

If you really want to help that girl, hiring a good lawyer for her will be much more helpful than doing it yourself. Also, let me remind you, don't waste too much energy on a woman, and don't throw away your beliefs and principles for some bullshit love. If you do that, you will regret it sooner or later!

That’s all I have to say. Think about it carefully! 】

The moonlight outside the window was bright and unusually clear, as if it had been following him since he left the county town.

He suddenly remembered that time on the train when Tian Xin said to him, "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful!"

How did he respond later?

"Yes, the wind is also very gentle."

As he looked at the long message, a strong feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged up and surrounded him in an instant.

It was hard to describe what he felt. He slumped on the sofa, feeling as if he had no strength left in his body.

"Transferring the warmth of one person to the chest of another—"

About a few minutes later, just as he threw the phone away, the ringtone suddenly rang again.

This time, he took a look and ignored it.

However, the ringing showed no sign of stopping and continued.

He walked over irritably, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button again.

"Hello--"

"Lin Zhou! Where are you?"

When this voice came from the phone, Lin Zhou suddenly calmed down. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his nose felt sore, and he actually shed a tear...
