A woman with ideals wakes up anew in the year 2000. In her previous life, she was murdered due to a coveted opportunity, leading to her family's ruin. Now reborn, she swiftly deals with her bet...
Chapter 402 My bet is that you love him deeply
Ancient City First Hospital.
It has only been three hours since that unconventional "clarification press conference".
Tian Xin stayed by Lin Zhou's bedside, unwilling to leave.
Around her, Lin Zhenhua, Zhou Ruilian, Li Jing, Lin Hai, Zhang Shuai and others also stayed and did not dare to leave, for fear that she would get into an accident.
It's complete chaos outside.
After Tian Xin shouted those words to the camera, Liang's people and reporters started a fierce life-and-death struggle, just to grab Tian Xin's first-hand news.
Just because of their different positions, both sides fought with all their might until the end, only to find that Tian Xinren had already run away.
Zhang Shuai and his men, along with Lin Zhenhua's personal bodyguards, took advantage of the chaos and took her away.
After coming out of there, she said she wanted to come to the hospital to see Lin Zhou. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, several people followed her over.
Later, news broke that Liang Qiuye had been hospitalized with an acute cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed to the emergency room, his life uncertain.
The Liang family was already struggling on its last legs. After hearing Li Qingning say that things were turning around, they immediately held a press conference, hoping to use Tian Xin's clarification to turn the situation around.
But who could have imagined the outcome would be like this? This whole commotion, instead of clarifying the matter, directly undermined the fact that the Liang family was bullying the weak and engaging in open and covert warfare with the Lin family.
I think it would be harder than climbing to the sky to make a comeback.
The Liang family's luck has run out, and the rest of the mess can only wait for someone to be kind enough to clean it up for Liang Qiuye.
"You win this round."
In front of the bed, Tian Xin leaned over and rested her head on Lin Zhou's arm, murmuring softly.
Several people nearby were closely following the latest news and didn't understand what she meant.
"What did you say? What won?" Li Jing asked casually.
Tian Xin didn't answer, but continued, "From now on, just one word from you, and Liang Qiuye will obediently hand over Liang Corporation. You don't have to worry about him withdrawing his shares. You can use these shares to acquire Liang Corporation and settle his account. You can perform a 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey' drama and take the opportunity to calm down those restless shareholders. This way, your Lin Corporation will remain as stable as a rock."
"Uncle, do you love Lin Zhou? Even a little bit."
Silent tears are the most touching. Tian Xin said these two sentences weakly, her voice was vague, and even her eyes were staring blankly at one place.
Lin Zhenhua was startled and quickly changed the subject.
"Are you too tired, kid? Why don't you let your aunt take you back to rest?"
"No matter what your reason is, I will never allow you to hurt him again." She said again, still so weak.
But the look in his eyes when he said this was firm, and he would not allow Lin Zhenhua to refuse.
Now everyone present understood what she meant.
Li Jing and others stopped what they were doing and wanted to come over to comfort her.
She waved her hand and refused.
"Child, don't be like this. If Lin Zhou knew you thought this way, he would definitely feel bad." This is what Zhou Ruilian said.
She then asked, "Aunt, was it really just because of that orchid that you divorced my uncle?"
"this……"
Zhou Ruilian didn't know how to explain this to her suddenly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Not entirely. It's been so long, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"Why don't you adults ask children's opinions when you do things? Don't they deserve respect?" she murmured again.
Zhang Shuai and Lin Hai's expressions suddenly changed at this. Thinking of the troubles at home, they wanted to talk to her about it, but when they saw her expression, they held back.
I think at this time, she probably only wants to talk to Lin Zhou!
Lin Zhenhua's face flashed with displeasure. Few people dared to question him like that, yet Tian Xin repeatedly broke the rules. He had let it slide because she was a junior, but he hadn't expected the child to become more and more disrespectful.
But Zhou Ruilian quickly dispelled his thoughts with a look, and he put on a smiling face again.
"Girl," he walked over, pulled a stool and sat next to Tian Xin, then waved his hand to let the others go out, and started a conversation with Tian Xin alone about "family and business."
"I know this is hard for you to accept. But girl, have you ever thought that people will change?"
Lin Zhenhua looked into her empty eyes, a rare expression of a kind father. He said softly, "More than twenty years ago, I was just like Lin Zhou – kind, generous, and loyal. You see so much in his virtues, thinking he's the best man in the world, a modest gentleman, untainted by superficiality. But little girl, this world is cruel."
“Once you embark on the path of business, your kindness and generosity will be seen as foolishness by your competitors. You will only be exploited, trampled upon, and squeezed to death.”
"The battles in the business world are no less brutal than on the battlefield. What successful entrepreneur survives without some blood on their hands? Otherwise, how can you keep the game going and support so many employees? I was forced into this."
He tried to use his logic to convince Tian Xin, but these few short sentences completely exposed his true character.
In other words, the foundation of a successful entrepreneur.
But...is this really the only way?
"From the very beginning, you had no intention of letting Liang go, right?" Tian Xin asked again.
"Yes, I had this idea, but at that time..."
"At that time, you were struggling to find a pretext, a legitimate reason to bring down the Liang family that didn't require your intervention. So when I insisted on seeking justice for Lin Zhou, you deliberately provoked me, forced me to take action, and then you took advantage of the situation.
This way everyone will only see me stalking the cicada, and won't see you, the oriole, behind the scenes."
"You were the one who insisted on bumping into it. I just took advantage of it..."
"Take advantage of it?" Tian Xin looked up at him in disbelief. "How could a little girl like me bring down the Liang family? In other words, did the Liang family really not give me any trouble the first day they found out about that news? Who was behind all this? And who was smuggling their own agenda into this news?"
"Uncle, you've been running this business for so many years. When you were doing this, didn't you ever think about the possibility that if I got pushed too far, I'd let go of Lin Zhou, everything, and bite you back?"
Lin Zhenhua laughed heartily: "Bite back? Who? Me?"
He pointed at himself and smiled confidently: "Isn't that six million enough to teach you a lesson? Besides, would you leave Lin Zhou?"
Then, without waiting for Tian Xin to answer, he suddenly stopped laughing and a rare look of loneliness appeared on his face.
"My only bet is that you are deeply in love with Lin Zhou."
"Fortunately, my bet was right, and you didn't let me down."
After saying that, he extended his right hand towards Tian Xin: "Girl, you are the one who can truly be my opponent. I, Lin Zhenhua, have been a soldier for half my life, and it's rare for me to meet someone I can convince. You are one of them!"
It sounds like they want to shake hands and make peace.
Tian Xin hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and shook hands with him.
Her mind was still on the previous two sentences, but she was unsure about the truth and credibility of Lin Zhenhua's words. So, she asked again, "Do you agree that I should be with Lin Zhou?"
Lin Zhenhua didn't answer. His expression changed again, and he asked inexplicably, "How did you know that Li Qingning and the Liang family were involved?"
"I guessed." She didn't answer the question directly, but asked him again: "What are you going to do with her? Will you divorce her?"
"Go, don't ask questions about adults' affairs." Lin Zhenhua threw down a sentence, then looked at her with a smile: "But, girl, tell me, if I use your marriage with Lin Zhou to threaten your aunt to remarry me, will she agree?"
