Lin Yan was not interested in guessing Song Jingya's thoughts. She was exhausted. She knew that she could just deal with it as it came.
After dinner, Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai also had a brief chat with Lin's father and left.
The Lin family members looked at each other but no one asked to keep the two men. The main reason was that they didn't have the confidence, and Lu Jinghuai was not someone they could keep.
After Lin Yan left, the Lin family also began to see off the guests. Lin's mother's brother and sister-in-law were the last to leave. Before leaving, Lin's mother's brother and Lin's father said.
"I can't say anything to her today. I'd like to trouble you, brother-in-law, to take the trouble to go back and talk to her properly."
Lin's mother's brother also sounded helpless.
Father Lin sighed, and after seeing everyone off, the Lin family members also returned to the Lin family villa.
As soon as she entered the living room, Aunt Lin couldn't help but frowned at Mother Lin. "I'm not saying anything bad about you, sister-in-law, but Yanyan was born from your belly, right? Life in that family wasn't easy before, why don't you love her more?"
Aunt Lin couldn't understand how someone could have such a bad relationship with his daughter who had just returned home from suffering outside.
Lin's mother is not a person who favors boys over girls. She treats Lin Jiao like a daughter and pampers her.
When facing her sister-in-law, Lin's mother could still argue a few words, but when facing Lin's aunt, she couldn't say a word.
After a long while, he managed to utter, "She and I are not compatible, and I don't think she treats me like her own mother."
Aunt Lin laughed angrily. What kind of reason was this?
"Look at that expression at the dinner table, and you still expect that child to treat you as his real mother? If you were in a worse mood, you would have gotten up and left a long time ago. With the child's current status, there's no need for him to put up with your anger."
"If it weren't for our Lin family, would she be able to marry Lu Jinghuai? She doesn't even know how to remember grace."
But the expression on her face was clearly unwilling, and Aunt Lin naturally saw it. She was also afraid that if she said too much, Mother Lin would resent Lin Yan even more, so she could only sigh helplessly.
"You are really confused."
Lin's mother is fifty years old this year, which means she is old enough to be a grandmother. Why is she still so confused?
Remember grace? It was Lin Jiao who didn't want the marriage and forced it on Lin Yan. She's smart and has a good life. What does it have to do with you?
…
At this time, Father Lin waited until his aunt had finished speaking and then spoke up, ordering the servant beside him: "Go and bring the young lady to me."
Lin Jiao was invited down from the second floor by the servants. She saw that the family in the living room looked unhappy. There was a pause, but there was not much fear or guilt on their faces.
Father Lin was furious: "Evil daughter, tell me what you are thinking. Do you want the Lin and Lu families to fall out completely?"
As he said that, Father Lin picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and threw it at Lin Jiao.
Mother Lin was originally a little angry at Lin Jiao for acting on her own, but her anger suddenly subsided and she quickly said, "Why are you so angry? Jiaojiao is still a child. What if she gets hurt?"
Lin Jiao was also frightened this time, and her little face turned pale instantly. She knew that Father Lin was really angry.
"Dad, I was just possessed by the devil at that time." Seeing that Father Lin was about to get angry again, she quickly spoke again.
"Dad, this isn't entirely without merit. Miss Song said she'd like to thank me by recommending the Song Corporation for a partnership."
Lin Jiao couldn't say that this was her reward for leaking information and helping to find out the truth.
As soon as these words came out, Lin's father paused, as if he was a little hesitant.
Uncle Lin looked at Lin Jiao in front of him as if he was looking at a fool. Song Jingya looked like a kind person, so why did she kindly break away from the cooperation just for the sake of love?
Song Jingya's willingness to offer benefits must have a purpose; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
At this time, Father Lin was still a little hesitant: "Why is Miss Song so kind?"
Lin Jiao's heart tightened, and she felt a little guilty but she didn't show it at all.
"Maybe they're trying to get us to compete with Lin Yan? We are Lin Yan's family."
Uncle Lin guessed that this was probably the reason, and his face became serious.
"Now that we know this is the reason, we'd better draw a clear line between ourselves and Song Jingya."
After all, they are Lin Yan's family. If something really happens in the future, they may have to rely on the Lu family. He doesn't know that it is not worth it for him to stand on Song Jingya's side now and offend the Lu family.
However, the eldest uncle of the Lin family was extremely determined, but the father of the Lin family was moved and hesitated.
"In the business world, it's all about profit, and that little girl Song Jingya is clearly trying to push the advantage over me."
Lin Jiao was originally depressed because of the firm refusal of her uncle Lin, but when she heard what Lin's father said, her eyes lit up and she nodded quickly.
"Yes, it's all about business interests. What's the point of taking sides? Besides, we don't need to do anything. Isn't it better to just get the cooperation project for free?"
Seeing that Lin's father didn't refute her, Lin Jiao completely relaxed and continued, "Our situation is called the clam and the crane fighting, and the fisherman benefits."
Aunt Lin and several younger generations beside her frowned. A clam and a crane fighting? Which one of Lin Yan and Song Jingya was the clam and the crane?
You have to know that behind them is the Lu family and the Song family respectively. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Aunt Lin is a married daughter, a younger sister, so it is not easy for her to interfere in her mother's family affairs. There are also several younger generations who cannot say a word, so they can only look to the only elder, Uncle Lin.
The uncle of the Lin family was speechless. He originally thought that his brother and sister-in-law and Lin's mother were not smart enough, but now it seems that they are a family of idiots.
He rubbed his forehead and said, "Second brother, don't be confused. You've taken advantage of it now, but what if Song Jingya uses it to threaten you to do something for her?"
Father Lin had naturally thought about this question, and his answer was very direct: "Of course I don't agree. Lin Yan is my daughter after all. I won't help outsiders to deal with my own family. Big brother, who do you think I am?"
Although Lin's father wanted to take advantage, he never thought of standing on Song Jingya's side to help Song Jingya deal with Lin Yan.
To put it bluntly, he is Lin Yan's biological father. Song Jingya can just use him and throw him away, but if Lin Yan doesn't help if something happens to him, she will be drowned in spit.
Seeing that Father Lin still had some rationality, Uncle Lin breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could make sense.
"Just stay calm. You haven't accepted the cooperation project yet. Now I know that you are going to refuse Song Jingya's help. But what if she asks you to help later in the cooperation? What if she kicks you out of the project if you don't agree?"
Father Lin hesitated, then spoke after a moment's hesitation: "Kicking me out halfway through wouldn't be a double-edged sword, wouldn't it?"
However, the eldest uncle of the Lin family snorted coldly. Can Father Lin afford to gamble with Song Jingya's character?
If Song Jingya was really a good person, would she still be around after Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan got married? She even contacted Lin Jiao to try to win over Lin Yan's family?
