Chapter 254 Jiang Shang's acting skills

Zhou Yanli took Zhou Shuang to the door.

Even if Lin Shu knew he was up to something, there was nothing he could do.

Especially Zhou Yanli looked at her considerately and gently.

"Sorry to interrupt your dinner. If it's inconvenient for you, I can go to the Lin family to pick up the child."

The man in front of me spoke calmly and without apology, saying things that even a dog would not believe.

Lin Shu was speechless.

He disrupted his own dinner party with an innocent look on his face. Haha, only a shameless person like Zhou Yanli could do such a thing.

"No need, take Shuangshuang with you, I'll go back and pick up Chenyi and Chenxuan."

"Well, okay. Grandpa misses you a lot too. You can stop by to see him. After all, he's getting old, and his health is getting worse every year. You only get to see him once less often."

These words were too harsh. Zhou Yanli didn't seem to force her, but what was the difference between that and forcing her to go back to the old house together?

Appealing to his emotions and explaining things to him logically, it's no wonder the old man is so supportive of his grandson.

He is indeed shameless and sinister to an appalling degree.

Lin Shu walked to the front of the car and tried to open the door, but Zhou Yanli politely let her go first and drove closely behind.

She didn't think that Zhou Yanli was walking behind her as a escort out of gentlemanly courtesy because he was worried about her. She felt that he was monitoring her in disguise, probably because he was afraid that she would go on a date with someone else halfway through the trip.

Oh--

What a bastard, he has so many thoughts. Why didn't I realize before that he would combine all the dirty tricks he used in the business world and use them against her now?

In his heart, how could she be worth so much effort?

Lin Shu didn't bother to pay attention to his thoughts and drove the car to the Lin family obediently.

When Aunt Wu saw Zhou Yanli holding Zhou Shuang's hand and standing at the door, she was a little stunned.

Have Mr. Zhou and Miss made up?

But looking at the two of them, there was something strange about them.

"Grandma Wu, are Chen Yi and Chen Xuan awake? We're going to Great Grandpa's house."

Zhou Shuang entered the room with a thumping sound. Zhou Yanli stood at the doorway, not moving forward, and said to Lin Shu, "I'll be waiting outside. Let me know if you need any help."

Then he turned and walked towards the car.

Zhou Yanli leaned quietly against the front of the car, with a slender neck, waist and long legs. The classic black suit made his figure look even more tall and slender.

He unbuttoned his suit, took out a cigarette case from his pocket and lit a cigarette. His expression was a little dull and full of relaxation.

Lin Shu entered the yard. Wu Ma hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not close the door.

Zhou Yanli didn't get angry when no one treated him with courtesy. He just quietly smoked outside and waited for Lin Shu, mother and son to come out.

When Lin Shu came back, the two children had already eaten and were playing with Zhou Shuang with their eyes wide open.

She took the nanny and Zhou Shuang, grabbed some baby supplies and went out together.

Zhou Yanli saw it with his sharp eyes, flicked the cigarette in his hand, stomped it out, and went over to meet them.

It took more than half an hour to travel from the Lin family to the old house. Zhou Yanli tried to talk to Lin Shu, but all he got was a simple one-word response.

Zhou Yanli realized that he could no longer pry Lin Shu's mouth open, so he closed it and concentrated on driving.

When they arrived at the old house, the old man had already received news that they were coming and had the servants wait at the door.

When he saw his eldest grandson Zhou Yanli, he almost rolled his eyes, but when he looked past him and saw his little great-grandson and two little granddaughters, his eyes immediately narrowed into slits with a smile.

"Come, let me, your great grandfather, hug you."

The old man who threw away his crutch did not seem slow at all. Instead, it gave Lin Shu the illusion that he had wings and might be able to fly.

"Grandpa, let the nanny take the baby in. The baby is small and likes to kick and hit around. Don't let him hurt you."

Lin Shu tried to persuade him kindly, and the old man smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay."

He insisted on holding her, and finally Lin Shu compromised and let him hold only one, the little Chen Yi.

Girls should be more delicate and don’t fall. As for boys, they are from the Zhou family anyway, so you can do whatever you want.

The old man took little Chen Yi and smiled from ear to ear.

Lin Shu twitched the corner of his lips and followed him in.

Zhou Yanli also followed them closely, not too far away.

The old man invited Lin Shu to dinner in the evening, and with the children present, he certainly couldn't refuse.

During the meal, it was the old man and Lin Shu who were talking. Zhou Yanli was like an invisible person and a foil. The old man never looked at his eldest grandson once during the whole meal and treated him as invisible.

The old man originally wanted to keep Lin Shu and the three children for a few more days, but Lin Shu said that the two children were used to the Lin family and it was inconvenient. The old man didn't want to force her and only told her to remember to come back and see him more often when she had time.

"After all, I'm old now. Every day I live is one day less. I'm sixty-five now, and I'm afraid I won't live past sixty-eight. How many times can I see these youngsters?"

The old man was crying and sobbing as he sent them out. He thought his words were very touching, but Lin Shu listened to them indifferently and responded in a similar way.

Can’t live past sixty-eight, huh—

Judging from the old man's spirit, he would be able to walk briskly even at the age of 86. He has a physical examination every month, and the report shows that his internal organs are healthier and cleaner than those of a young person.

They eat organic vegetables and fruits grown by workers on the mountain behind their home, and breathe the natural oxygen bar that surrounds the old house, surrounded by mountains and water.

If this continues, Zhou Yanli may not live as long as him.

Lin Shu just listened to what the old man said, but it was right to let her bring the children back to the old house more often.

After all, they are the great-grandchildren that the old man is thinking about so much.

After all, grown-ups are not as cute as young ones. From the old man’s attitude towards Zhou Yanli, it can be seen that this eldest grandson is destined to fall out of favor.

However, Zhou Yanli didn't care about these things. All his emotions were on his ex-wife.

It’s a pity that the ex-wife started yawning as soon as she got into his car. She was even more sleepy than the two children along the way. In the end, she simply tilted her head and fell asleep leaning against the car door.

He had no choice but to send the mother and her two children safely back to the Lin family. As soon as the car stopped, Lin Shu woke up with his eyes wide open. He got out of the car with the nanny and left without even glancing at Zhou Yanli.

He watched them enter the yard, and a sense of swell rose in his heart for no reason.

Wu Ma closed the door in front of Zhou Yanli, with no intention of inviting him in.

Zhou Yanli knew that the problem lay with Lin Shu, and Wu Ma also looked at Lin Shu's expression, but didn't Wu Ma also hope that the couple would reconcile?

He looked at the yard outside the car window as it gradually darkened. As the night deepened, the area around the villa gradually fell into silence.

The surroundings were so quiet that the only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind. Zhou Yanli suddenly didn't want to go back. There was no one waiting for him, and he would have to face an empty house instead.

A feeling of loneliness suddenly came over him, leaving him at a loss.

He lowered the car window halfway, sat in the car and looked at the completely dark Lin family. He lit a cigarette and smoked silently.

In this way, he stood guard at the door all night without closing his eyes, and only stepped on the accelerator and headed towards the company when the sky turned light in the east.

Lin Shu slept well that night and didn't even notice that Zhou Yanli had been staying at the door all night.

Today is the day of Jiang Shang's trial. She changed into a solemn black women's suit, and Lin Yueyun also wore a black dress. The two looked like they were going to a funeral, also to commemorate Grandpa Lin and Lin Yuerong.

"Mom, Grandpa, today my aunt and I will see with our own eyes how the man who murdered you gets what he deserves."

Lin Shu lit a stick of incense for Lin Yuerong and her grandfather, and knelt down to pay his respects to them before leaving the Lin family home.

When the trial opened, Jiang Shang was sitting in the courtroom. He was still wearing a neat suit and had his hair combed back. He looked particularly energetic at the age of forty, and did not look like a defendant at all.

His only expression was probably when his eyes fell on Lin Yueyun who was next to Lin Shu. The face that was quite similar to Lin Yuerong made Jiang Shang stunned for a moment.

"You didn't expect I was still alive, brother-in-law."

Lin Yueyun deliberately stopped by Jiang Shang for a few seconds when she passed by him. When she took off her sunglasses, Jiang Shang's eyes seemed to be evasive, but he quickly regained his composure and even shed a few tears.

"Aunt, I didn't expect you to be alive. I'm so touched."

Lin Yueyun sneered: "Whether you are moved or afraid, we will know when the trial starts later."

Jiang Shang pretended to be confused: "How can you say that? You don't know how happy I am to see you. I——"

Lin Yueyun interrupted him: "Alright, you've never been my brother-in-law, and you know very well how my sister died. Start your performance in front of the judge later and see how much they believe you."

Lin Yueyun went to the audience seats, staring at Jiang Shang. When he left Lin Yueyun's sight, Jiang Shang's eyes became visibly colder.

He looked at Lin Shu: "You think so too?"

Lin Shu: "Haha—facts speak louder than words. Unfortunately, I might become the plaintiff today."

Jiang Shang clenched his fists, then showed an indifferent expression, but acted very sincerely on his face.

"Shushu, I'm your father, how could you do this?"

Jiang Shang's face showed a hurt expression, but Lin Shu didn't bother to pay attention to him. He glanced at the other side and said with a smile, "That's your daughter. Oh, and your wife who didn't get a marriage certificate."

Yuan Yuan and Wen Xin also arrived, and Jiang Shang's face became a little ugly at this time.

If it were only Lin Shu and Lin Yueyun, he wouldn't be afraid. What would Wen Xin and Yuan Yuan do with them? They are bitches who can't do anything good but only cause trouble.

It’s a pity that the two did not accept Jiang Shang’s eye warning. Wen Xin had a faint smile on her face and mouthed words to Jiang Shang.

"dad--"

Jiang Shang turned his face away stiffly. His attitude made it clear that he didn't acknowledge Wen Xin, but Wen Xin didn't mind. Instead, she smiled and didn't care.

"idiot--"

Jiang Shang, who was originally confident of winning today, showed a rare panic on his face when he saw Wen Xin and Yuan Yuan.

If he had known earlier, he should have dealt with them sooner. He didn't know what tricks they were up to, but now Jiang Shang could only bite the bullet and fight on.

The trial began with the prosecution stating the various charges against Jiang Shang, but he seemed to have been prepared, and the lawyer Jiang Shang hired was naturally not an easy lawyer.

Jiang Shang's lawyer handled the accusations with ease.

Until Lin Shu stood in the seat as the plaintiff, Jiang Shang burst into tears.

"Shushu, I'm your biological father. Do you doubt me too?"

Lin Shu glanced at the audience.

"If he's your biological father, why don't you ask those two?"

Jiang Shang just ignored her and continued to cry.

"You have been following me since you were little, how could you follow others and stab me in the back? I don't know them at all. You know Dad is rich, and all the money I earn belongs to the Lin family, it's all yours.

I don't know where these two people came from, but they must have set their sights on Dad's money and wanted to frame me and sow discord between us. Shushu, your mother is gone, and now Dad only has you as his daughter—"

Jiang Shang cried so much that even the presiding judge almost believed it.

Lin Shu's lawyer produced a lot of evidence that Jiang Shang had embezzled public funds over the years, but Jiang Shang repeatedly denied it and shamelessly cried at the scene.

"In fact, others don't know, but you know it best. Dad is the son-in-law of your Lin family. How can I have any real power? Twenty-five percent of the company's shares are yours, and even I, your dad, work for you. Shushu, you have already taken half of Zhou Yanli's property when you divorced him.

Our Yingtian Group was originally yours. The current state of Yingtian Group is the result of my hard work over the years. Daddy is not asking you to give Yingtian Group to me. I just want to make a living and earn some extra money for my future retirement. Do you really hate Daddy so much?"

I have to say that Jiang Shang’s skill in turning the tables was performed to perfection.

Lin Shu was standing in the plaintiff's seat, and was actually speechless by Jiang Shang's words. Lin Yueyun's face was serious. After hearing these words, she took off her high heels and held them in her hands.

She was ready to throw it at Jiang Shang, but Wen Xin slowly stood up.

"Dad, what you said is not true. Lin Shu is your only daughter? Then who are Mom and I?"

Everyone present looked at Wen Xin in surprise, and countless llamas flew through Jiang Shang's mind.

Jiang Shang's lawyer was also in trouble, but Jiang Shang remained calm.

"You are liars. I don't know them and I have nothing to do with them."

Wen Xin was well prepared and took out the paternity test.

"Whether it matters or not, let the judge decide."

Jiang Shang's expression was completely lost. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "What do you want to do? This is Zhang's fake paternity test."

Wen Xin: "It's not up to you to tell whether it's true or not, what do you say, Dad?"

Yuan Yuan sat in the audience with her hands behind her back, watching what was originally a commercial crime case become a large-scale family reunion scene.

"The court is temporarily adjourned and will resume in half an hour."

Lin Shu didn't expect Wen Xin to come and stab him again.

She looked at Lin Shu with a smug smile.

"Ms. Lin, it seems that money isn't so easy to come by everywhere. I'm my father's biological daughter. Whatever he has should belong to me and my mother.

My father has worked for your Lin family for so many years, and everything he has should be mine. Lin Shu, don't be too greedy. If you take everything, I'm afraid you won't live long enough to enjoy it."

There was a glint of malice in Wen Xin's eyes, but Lin Shu didn't take it seriously.

"You're wrong. Everything Jiang Shang owns belongs to the Lin family. No one can take it away. He embezzled the company's finances and can't take anything away. He will also face imprisonment.

As for you, you can't take anything away from me, so don't treat me as your imaginary enemy, you don't deserve it at all."
