Mr. Lin didn't react to what Lin Wu meant.
Lin Wu raised his hand and pressed his aching brow. "Come with me to the capital. I will take care of you in your old age and find the best doctor there to treat you. The prerequisite is that you can no longer have too much contact with the Lin family and stop thinking about helping them."
"If you stay in Beicheng, I won't come back. In return for your care over the past few years, I will pay for part of your medical expenses, but only this time."
Lin Wu originally thought that no matter how Mr. Lin interacted with the Lin family, she would not care and would just do what she was supposed to do.
But after receiving the call from Mr. Lin, Lin Wu suddenly changed his mind.
"I'll give you half a minute to think about it. Do you want to stay in Beicheng or come with me to Beijing?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if Mr. Lin was no longer there.
Lin Wu glanced at his watch, and his eyes became duller.
Five minutes passed, and just when Lin Wu was about to hang up, Old Man Lin's difficult voice rang out: "Wuwu, can't you... be more tolerant of Shenghai and the others? They now know their mistakes and want to get along with you. Our family can still go back to the way it was."
Lin Wu only asked: "If I am not a perfume maker, not the apprentice of the president of the Beijing Qin Association, and do not know the boss of Sheng Gui, but am just a country girl, will they still admit their mistakes as you said?"
Mr. Lin stopped talking.
Lin Wu nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa, I know what you're thinking. This is the last time I call you Grandpa. From now on, I will regularly send money to the hospital and only bear part of the medical expenses. The rest will be covered by the Lin family. If your good son and daughter-in-law are unwilling, then you can fend for yourself. Don't blame me. You don't have to call me in the future."
After saying that, Lin Wu hung up the phone decisively.
After thinking about it, she directly added Mr. Lin’s phone number to the blacklist, and then sent a message to Bo Yuting, telling him that he would no longer be responsible for Mr. Lin’s treatment in the future.
Bo Yuting called the next moment: "What happened? Why did you suddenly arrange it like this?"
Lin Wu briefly told Bo Yuting the content of the phone call.
After hearing this, Bo Yuting remained silent for a long time.
When he spoke again, he said, "I'm sorry."
Lin Wu: “Hmm?”
Bo Yuting said solemnly: "I shouldn't have advised you to give yourself and the old man a chance. If I had known that the old man would hurt your heart like this, I should have cut off all ties with him earlier."
"I'm not sad." Lin Wu said calmly, "I'm just a little disappointed."
She had known for a long time that her grandfather would not give up on the Lin family. She had also known that this would be the outcome and had prepared for it. How could she be sad?
"Bo Yuting, you were right at that time. If your expectations are exhausted, you won't regret it when you think about it later."
That's what she is now.
She has done what she should do with all her heart, and even if her grandfather's life is not satisfactory in the future, she will not regret it or look back.
Bo Yuting sighed imperceptibly and said softly, "I'll make you barbecue tonight, okay?"
Lin Wu looked back at the kitchen and said, "Okay, I have a barbecue grill here."
Bo Yuting said, "Then when I go back, I'll bring you a few cans of cold beer. Today is special, you can drink a little more cold beer to cheer yourself up, but not too much, otherwise you'll have a stomachache in the next two days, which is not good for your health."
Lin Wu was about to say how could he have a stomachache, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized what was happening and asked in astonishment, "How did you know that I..."
Bo Yuting hummed, and said with a half-smile: "Sister Wu, you know that I am the Chinese chief of the International Medical Organization. You don't think that this chief position can be secured just by being proficient in Western medicine? Coincidentally, I also know a little about Chinese medicine. If you have any old illness or hidden injury, I can tell by taking your pulse."
Lin Wu: “…”
She knew that she had to stay away from this man to be safe.
“No more barbecue!”
However, Bo Yuting still came in the evening and started barbecuing directly in her yard. The aroma of meat drifted into the villa, and Lin Wu couldn't help but go out again.
She looked at Bo Yuting who was waving at her in the yard, secretly annoyed at her own weak will, and walked over with a stern face and said, "Don't come to see me again in the future."
Bo Yuting had already baked a plate of food and pushed her to sit down without paying any attention.
Lin Wu stared at the barbecue and said, "Did you hear that? Don't come to see me again in the future. I don't want to..."
Before Lin Wu could finish his words, Bo Yuting stuffed a mouthful of meat wrapped in lettuce into his mouth.
She chewed a few bites subconsciously, swallowed them, and sat up straight.
Bo Yuting opened a can of cold beer with one hand and placed it in front of her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did the little girl say just now?"
Lin Wu put on disposable gloves and started to roll the meat and eat it. Without even looking up, he said, "It's too bland. Sprinkle some chili on it."
A smile appeared in Bo Yuting's eyes and he responded in a low voice, "Okay."
Lin Wu ate very attentively, one bite after another, and didn't talk much.
When she was full, she suddenly realized that most of the roast meat had gone into her stomach, and Bo Yuting had barely touched it. She cleared her throat and said, "You eat it, and I'll roast it."
“So can you bake?”
"……Won't."
Bo Yuting laughed.
As if feeling a little embarrassed, Lin Wu said, "It's just barbecue. It doesn't look that difficult."
As he said this, he tried to get the tongs to pick up the meat, but was stopped by Bo Yuting.
"It's enough if one of us can cook." Bo Yuting chuckled, "Besides, I don't want you to grill meat for me. I'll grill it myself, and you stay here and talk to me, okay?"
Lin Wu touched his nose, raised his chin and said, "Okay."
Bo Yuting continued to grill the meat slowly and asked slowly: "Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"
Lin Wu shook his head without thinking.
"Why?"
"Why should I look for them? They didn't look for me." Lin Wu asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this?"
Bo Yuting said quietly: "I feel a little sorry for you, and I want to do something to make you happy."
Lin Wu was stunned.
After a long while, she said, "You have done it. I am happy after seeing you."
Bo Yuting looked up at Lin Wu, who had no expression on his face and a calm tone, and said helplessly, "You don't really look happy."
Lin Wu said: "Then I won't come out to see you."
Bo Yuting's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he suddenly said, "Why don't you just stay in North City? Pack your luggage tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow?"
Lin Wu didn't care when she left. There was no reason for her to stay in Beicheng anyway.
She said, "The day after tomorrow."
