Chapter 300 I Only Treat You as My Sister (18)

Lin Shichu chatted with the old housekeeper for a long time and knew that Lian Shangrui was a boy who was not loved by his parents. He immediately felt some pity for him. No wonder he lived here alone with the housekeeper at such a young age.

So Lian Shangrui felt that the look in Lin Shichu's eyes when he looked at him was full of sympathy and love, which made his heart, which never cared much about other people's views, a little puzzled. However, he was a quiet man, so even if he was puzzled, he did not ask Lin Shichu.

More than a week later, when Lin Shichu had just walked out of the school gate, a woman with a capable temperament and the appearance of a social elite suddenly came forward to stop her.

"Excuse me, are you Lin Shichu? Hello, I am the assistant of Lian Shangrui's mother, Ms. Zhao. Ms. Zhao wants to see you for something. Please follow me."

The elite woman had a cold look on her face. She looked at Lin Shichu with a condescending look and spoke in an overbearing and commanding tone.

She was really unpleasant. Lin Shichu frowned and wanted to ask her back, "What's wrong with Ms. Zhao? What does it have to do with me? Do I have to go to see her if she wants to find me?" and then just leave.

But when she thought of Lian Shangrui's pitiful and pale appearance lying on the hospital bed, she became interested in Lian Shangrui's hard-hearted and cold-hearted mother. She didn't know what kind of woman could be so indifferent to her own flesh and blood. She acted as if nothing had happened and didn't even look at him when he was almost kidnapped.

So why did she suddenly come after two or three weeks? What was her purpose?

Lin Shichu followed the arrogant female assistant to a cafe near the school.

The female assistant brought her to a middle-aged woman who was dressed luxuriously and looked out of place in this ordinary cafe.

"Mr. Zhao, I have invited people here." After the female assistant said this, she went aside.

"Please sit down!" Lian Shangrui's mother pointed at the seat in front of her with her chin and said to Lin Shichu.

Lin Shichu didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

Seeing that she was so confident and not at all timid or petty, even Shangrui's mother raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Lin Shichu looked at Ms. Zhao carefully. She looked to be in her thirties, well-maintained, with a pretty face, slim figure, and noble temperament. You couldn't tell at all that she had a son who was almost an adult.

"Are you Lin Shichu, the one who rescued my son from the kidnappers?" Lian Shangrui's mother looked at Lin Shichu carefully with her sharp and narrow eyes and asked.

Lin Shichu nodded: "It's me."

Mr. Zhao pointed his chin at the female assistant beside him and said, "Give the check that was prepared this morning to Mr. Lin."

The female assistant immediately took out a filled-in check from her bag and placed it in front of Lin Shichu.

"This is the reward for saving my son. I hope you will accept it." Lian Shangrui's mother said.

Lin Shichu picked up the check and saw that it was for five hundred thousand. What a generous person.

"Okay, I'll accept it." Lin Shichu accepted it very readily without even trying to refuse.

The female assistant clearly showed a look of contempt.

Lian Shangrui's mother did not look down on her. Instead, she showed a very surprised expression and said:

"I thought you would tear up my check with an angry look on your face, and then scold me for not being a qualified mother, and for only using money to get rid of people, and that you don't care about this money..."

Lin Shichu said expressionlessly: "I care about the money, and you also said that this is the reward for me saving your son. It is reasonable and legal. Why shouldn't I accept it? As for whether you are a qualified mother, you should let Lian Shangrui comment on it himself. I am just an outsider." At most, he would curse in secret.

When Lian Shangrui's mother heard this, she immediately burst out laughing and said, "You are such an interesting girl. No wonder my son, who is so boring, can make friends with you."

Lin Shichu nodded: "He is a pretty good friend, smart, generous and quiet."

Lian Shangrui's mother smiled even more happily. Her originally cold and arrogant temperament suddenly became down-to-earth. She said, "I didn't expect that his quiet and quiet self has such good points in your eyes?"

This time Lin Shichu didn't respond to her. Although this President Zhao seemed different from the cold-blooded mother of Lian Shangrui that she had imagined, there was not much difference. If she really cared about her son, she would not have waited so long to see him.

Lian Shangrui's mother seemed to notice that Lin Shichu didn't have a good impression of her, so she stopped smiling, sighed, and said:

"Maybe you think I don't love Lian Shangrui enough and am too cold and heartless to him. But some things are not as simple as you think. Rui'er's father and I are remarried, and he already has two children who are almost ten years older than Rui'er. They are very hostile to Rui'er and often bully him. Rui'er's personality has become more and more introverted. In addition, he has some problems of his own. For his own good, I sent him out to live on his own..."

Lian Shangrui seemed to be explaining something to Lin Shichu. What he said was very clear and sincere. If Lin Shichu had a more emotional side, she would have cried. She would also feel that it was not easy for her and that she had good intentions in letting Lian Shangrui leave home and live on her own.

But Lin Shichu was a rational, insightful and intelligent person, and he saw through Mr. Zhao's insincerity at a glance.

No matter how she explained, it couldn't explain why she let her underage son leave home and live alone, and why she didn't show up after her son was kidnapped.

If she really loved Lian Shangrui, why didn't she live with her son? Why didn't she show up in time to comfort her son after he was kidnapped?

Lin Shichu looked at the priceless jade bracelet on her hand, the exquisite necklace on her neck, and the huge diamond ring on her finger. Perhaps this was the reason why she didn't leave Lian Shangrui's father.

After all, Lian Shangrui is a child with personality problems and may not be able to please his father, so the mother simply sent him away, which can not only avoid conflicts between him and his stepchildren, but also allow Lian's father to ignore this imperfect child and not vent his anger on her...

Of course, all this was just Lin Shichu's guess, but she really didn't have a good impression of Ms. Zhao, so naturally she wouldn't think well of her.

"No matter what, I hope that classmate Lin can spend more time with Rui'er and accompany him. He is a lonely child." President Zhao looked like a loving mother and looked at Lin Shichu eagerly.

Lin Shichu nodded: "I will."

Mr. Zhao and Lin Shichu exchanged pleasantries for a while before leaving.

Lin Shichu knew early on that not all parents love their children. Some people give birth to children not out of love, but because they need a tool.

Perhaps Lian Shangrui was not a qualified child to be a tool, so he was abandoned by his mother and sent away early.

When Lin Shichu received the check from Lian Shangrui's mother, he immediately found time to go to the bank to exchange it and deposited it into his own account.

She is not that noble, and this is what she deserves, so she shouldn't refuse it.
