Chapter 5 Lin Shu refuses to be a stepping stone for the Zhou family

"What did you say?"

Yu Yu raised his eyebrows, and his fierce eyes made the servant shrink his head quickly.

Lin Shu stood there for a full ten minutes, looking at the winding stairs in front of him with his beautiful eyes, his heart filled with desolation.

After a long time, she finally spoke, her voice hoarse.

"Secretary Yu, let's go."

Let's go, she doesn't belong here, nor does she belong to any place where there is a Zhou Yanli.

It was over between them a long time ago.

The expensive black RV was thrown in the yard of the villa.

Lin Shu passed by it without even looking at it.

She disdains to touch Zhou Yanli's things. If Wen Xin wants it, then give it to her.

Yu Yu called a taxi for her, and she sat alone in the back seat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road through the window.

After winter comes spring, when the mountains will be covered with green plants, newly blooming flowers, and the overlapping mountains shrouded in mist. Lovers can express their true feelings to each other in a place where no one will disturb them.

What a wonderful life situation! Her wish is to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and live with the one she loves.

Unfortunately, the person hiding in Zhou Yanli's golden house was not her.

The ringing of the cell phone brought Lin Shu back to reality. Doctor An's name appeared on the screen.

She held the phone to her ear.

"Hey, Lin Shu, I want to tell you something. Mr. Zhou wants to give the surgery opportunity to someone else. His condition isn't optimistic right now, and he's old. Every day he delays surgery, his condition becomes more dangerous. I thought I should tell you about this in advance."

The surprise in Lin Shu's eyes slowly spread. The old man wanted to give the opportunity of surgery to someone else?

What's the meaning.

After holding the phone in silence for several seconds, Lin Shu suddenly thought of someone.

Warm.

The old man wouldn't want to give the opportunity to Wen Xin.

Her heart trembled again, and An Qianhe's voice came from inside.

"Lin Shu, are you still listening?"

"I see. I'm going to the hospital now to see what's going on."

The taxi immediately changed its route, and Lin Shu's complicated thoughts were mixed up in the process, making a mess in his mind...

…

The hospital corridors were filled with the unchanging smell of medicine.

The old man just woke up and looks pretty good.

"Doctor An told me that you gave the opportunity for surgery to someone else."

The old man was a little uncomfortable with Lin Shu's straightforward speech.

He knew he couldn't hide this from her.

"Lin Shu, our Zhou family owes you warmth."

It was expected. Even though Lin Shu had guessed it, his heart still tightened.

She sat down beside the old man's bed, her expression not changing at all.

"Your illness cannot be delayed. Doctor An applied for a week for you. If he saved Wen Xin, he would have no time to save you."

The old man sighed, looked at Lin Shu with a determined gaze, and then quickly changed the subject.

"I know you were wronged at the banquet. Don't worry, I will ask him to compensate you."

Compensation, Lin Shu sneered softly in his heart.

Six years of youth, six years of never leaving Zhou Yanli. Even in the most difficult times, she was there for him without hesitation. How will the Zhou family compensate her?

Lin Shu asked the most inappropriate question.

"Is warmth really that important for a banquet?"

Even the old man was willing to give up his own life to save her. Since Wen Xin is someone that the Zhou family can't let go of, why do they still accept her, Lin Shu?

"Lin Shu, I hope you won't argue with Wen Xin. That child has suffered so much for the banquet. And—"

The old man paused and said, "She saved Yanli's life. Yanli is the only son of our Zhou family for three generations. Her saving Yanli is equivalent to saving the entire Zhou family. The Zhou family must repay this favor."

Mr. Zhou spoke earnestly, "You are a sensible child who loves banquets and ceremonies. Please save Wen Xin. Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

Lin Shu felt numb from the pain.

Wen Xin saved Zhou Yanli's life, so Lin Shu also risked her life to save Zhou Yanli.

"Five years ago, when Yan Li first took over Zhou Corporation, he worked day and night to gain recognition from shareholders. He flew thirteen times a week, both domestically and internationally. To secure a twenty million order, he would even go without food or drink and stay with them for three full days.

He was so exhausted that he vomited blood and was in a coma for a whole week. To save him, the hospital's blood bank was desperate. I donated half of my own blood and almost died on the operating table. I also saved Zhou Yanli's life.

Her tone was indifferent, but her voice was powerful. She looked out the window, and her heart was also going through the cold winter.

The old man listened carefully to his granddaughter-in-law's words, with tears in his eyes.

As an elder, how could he not understand Lin Shu's feelings for his grandson? It was precisely because of this that he felt that their Zhou family owed Lin Shu a debt of gratitude.

but--

Wen Xin was also very important to Zhou Yanli. It was he who broke them up personally when he knew that Wen Xin was infertile.

The only condition Zhou Yanli had for marrying Lin Shu was that he take care of Wen Xin for the rest of his life, and he agreed.

He had to agree, he owed his grandson a lifetime of happiness.

For the Zhou family, he sacrificed Zhou Yanli and Wen Xin, and giving the chance to save himself to Wen Xin was also his way of atonement.

He couldn't bear to hurt Zhou Yanli again, so he sacrificed Lin Shu again.

"I know you're good to Yanli."

The old man sighed, his voice carrying a heavy meaning.

"Lin Shu, tell me what you want. As long as I, an old man, can do it, I can do it."

It is impossible to change what the old man has decided.

Lin Shu sat and listened to the old man speak, and he was extremely quiet.

"If you insist on me making a request, I want 50% of Zhou's shares, and it must be transferred to my name immediately."

Her eyes were firm. At the beginning, all the assets of Zhou Yanli's company added up to less than 100 million yuan. It was her who supported his fortune of over 100 billion yuan.

Fifty percent, she still has to take less.

The old man's wise eyes suddenly became sharper because of her condition, and he changed his mind.

If Lin Shu gave birth to a grandson for the Zhou family, these assets would be in the name of the grandson in the future, and giving them to Lin Shu would only allow her to keep them temporarily.

The old man hesitated for no more than three seconds.

"Well—you deserve it."

With a choked voice, the old man said two words as Lin Shu left: "Thank you—"

Lin Shu's hand was on the door handle, his expression devoid of any joy of victory, but instead filled with unnoticed bitterness and sorrow.

Wen Xin’s life is worth 50% of Zhou’s shares, so what about her?

How much is she worth in the Zhou family?
