Beijing City.

The dead tree sprouts new buds, and the spring breeze is bleak.

Lin Songshan locked himself in the room and pulled his hair in despair.

He never expected that the Bai family was not simply breaking off the engagement, but wanted to bring him down.

He is now suspended from work and at home. He has no idea what the situation is like outside, and all those who used to target the Lin family have completely disappeared.

Lin Songshan now truly understood what it meant when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when a wall collapses, everyone pushes it down.

Outside the door.

Zhang Mengjia was carrying a small bag on her back, and her former proud and elegant image was gone.

She had an old-fashioned headscarf wrapped around her head, and the silver glasses she usually wore were gone.

Zhang Mengjia knocked on the door, but there was no response for a long time. She sighed and said:

"Lin Songshan, don't blame me and Wanru."

"You also know that the two of us have never suffered any hardship in our lives. If we are implicated because of your affairs, we will have to go to the countryside like the Lu family."

"I can't stand places like that in the countryside."

Zhang Mengjia tied her loose headscarf tighter with some helplessness.

She knocked on the door again.

After waiting for a while, Lin Songshan showed no intention of coming out.

Zhang Mengjia said impatiently, "You used to be a very realistic person, so why are you so blind to the truth now?"

"If Wanru and I don't draw a clear line between us, how will Wanru get married in the future?"

"Don't be so selfish. I know you've hidden all our family's money. Even if you don't give it to me, you should at least give your daughter some for her well-being!"

Lin Wanru packed up her things and came out. She heard her mother asking her father for money. She felt mixed emotions for a moment.

When Lin Songshan heard Zhang Mengjia's heartless words, he opened the door with a bang.

Zhang Mengjia was caught off guard and was startled by Lin Songshan's loud noise. She stood there in a daze.

moment.

There was a hint of greed and realism in her eyes. She thought that Lin Songshan had figured it out and came out to give money to Lin Wanru.

Lin Songshan looked at the person who had followed him for more than 20 years, and was so angry that his back teeth were about to break.

He forced a smile and said, "You want money?"

"Then come in with me and get it. I put it in the secret compartment of the bookcase."

When Zhang Mengjia heard this, she went in without saying a word.

Lin Wanru, who rushed over, saw the disgust and gloom in Lin Songshan's eyes.

She quickly grabbed Zhang Mengjia, who was overwhelmed by excitement.

"Mom, let's go quickly, we'll miss the train soon."

"I don't want my dad's money. Leave it for him to use for his own survival."

"I've drawn a clear line between me and my dad this time. I've already let him down and I can't take his money anymore."

Lin Songshan looked up at the righteous Lin Wanru and chuckled at himself.

He now knew exactly what kind of people the mother and daughter were, so how could he still be confused by her words?

Lin Wanru didn't know how much money the Lin family had, but Zhang Mengjia knew it.

Even if someone came to raid Lin Songshan's house, half of Lin Songshan's money had to be hidden from others.

If the Lin family did not have money and power, how could Zhang Mengjia, who was in her prime at that time, marry Lin Songshan and bear the stigma of being a mistress?

She is a good college student with a bright future. Why would she want the older Lin Songshan?

Love? In her eyes, it is worthless.

Zhang Mengjia patted Lin Wanru's arm soothingly. "Wanru, don't be stubborn. Those are all things your father left you. If the people from the Reform and Opening Committee find out, you won't be able to keep your father's money."

"We might as well take them to live in South City."

Nowadays, jobs are basically assigned to each person. After graduation, Lin Wanru went to work in Nancheng, where she worked for three years. When she left, she did not mention resignation.

He just said he was going back to Beijing to recuperate. It was only half a year ago, so Lin Wanru could still find her job back if she went back.

The premise is that she does not have a corrupt father.

So when Lin Wanru learned that Lin Songshan was reported for corruption, she began to back down.

When Lin Songshan was dismissed from his post and investigated, Zhang Mengjia finally could not bear the plummeting status, the sarcasm of colleagues, the frequent provocations and threats of big-character posters from students in the school.

She took Lin Wanru to file for divorce with Lin Songshan and wrote a letter of denunciation herself.

Report Lin Songshan's daily capitalist style, corrupt and extravagant lifestyle, and wrong ideas...

A letter made Lin Songshan's situation even worse...

Lin Songshan is still able to work at home, not in prison, because his eighty-year-old father donated the two factories of the Lin family in Beijing.

Zhang Mengjia walked in despite Lin Wanru's obstruction.

Lin Wanru's premonition made her feel bad, so she silently retreated out the door and into the yard.

From this position, you can see the direction of the bookcase in the house.

Lin Songshan turned around and gave Lin Wanru a meaningful look, which made Lin Wanru feel uneasy and her palms sweaty.

She bit the corner of her dry mouth and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Mom, let's go, I don't want money."

Unfortunately, Zhang Mengjia had already walked to the front of the bookcase at this time.

She excitedly opened the books in the bookcase one by one: "Where is the secret compartment?"

Lin Songshan stood casually one meter away from Zhang Mengjia.

Zhang Mengjia looked at Lin Songshan with some wariness.

Lin Songshan sneered disdainfully: "What are you looking at? Can I eat you?"

"Counting from the right, the fourth box in the second row."

The second row of the bookcase is a bit low, so Zhang Mengjia needs to squat down to find it.

She looked at Lin Songshan's expression and found nothing unusual.

She felt that she and Lin Songshan were husband and wife, and Lin Wanru must be overthinking it.

She lowered her head and found the secret compartment that Lin Songshan mentioned. After groping for a long time, she opened a cabinet from inside, and there was a small box inside.

Zhang Mengjia carefully pulled out the box. Although it was only the size of a palm, it felt heavy in her hand.

The box was not locked, and she opened it easily.

The moment she opened the box, Zhang Mengjia couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah!"

"OMG!"

Zhang Mengjia stared at the golden gold in the box with her eyes wide open.

There were neatly arranged small gold bars, five on top. It was so thick that there must be at least thirty of them.

"Are all these for Wanru and me?"

Lin Wanru obviously also heard Zhang Mengjia's exclamation. Even Zhang Mengjia exclaimed, which made her couldn't help but stretch her neck to see what was inside.

Unfortunately, the center of the yard was a bit far away from Zhang Mengjia who was squatting on the ground. Let alone seeing what was inside, she was considered to have good eyesight to be able to see the box.

Lin Wanru was a little excited and wanted to go into the house.

Lin Songshan had his hands behind his back, holding a hard object unconsciously. From this angle, not only Zhang Mengjia in the room couldn't see it, but Lin Wanru outside the room couldn't see it either.
