Chapter 817 Going Back
Yun Ting glanced sideways.
The Lin Tan at this moment is very different from the Lin Tan on the set. On set, she was confident, bright, gentle and resilient, but now she is like a plum blossom that has been hit by a heavy rain, losing her vitality.
"good."
She didn't ask any more questions.
I just agreed.
The high-speed rail is very fast; it only takes half an hour to get there.
Wu Yuelan, Lin Jiancheng, and others didn't sleep well all night because of this incident, which made them somewhat irritable.
"I knew it! Why did that girl suddenly want to pluck my gray hairs last time?" Lin Jiancheng regretted it as soon as he thought about it. "She was waiting for me here, that brat! I'll give her a good beating when I get back."
"Right now, the most important thing is what to say when Lin Tan asks," Wu Yuelan said anxiously.
Lin Jiancheng: "What else can I say but the truth?"
Wu Yuelan: "That won't do."
“What’s wrong with that?” Lin Jiancheng sneered. “If we hadn’t picked her up from the roadside trash can, she might have died long ago.”
“That makes sense,” Wu Yuelan thought about Lin Tan’s temper. “But you know what kind of person Lin Tan is. If she finds out we’re not her biological parents, she definitely won’t give us any more money.”
The moment they heard about money...
Lin Jiancheng's mood immediately soured.
Since Lin Tan started making money, he has been able to spend more of it.
If that brat really refuses to give it to me, it'll be a real problem.
Did Lin Ling tell her?
"I don't know, I didn't ask." Wu Yuelan was too anxious and flustered at the time, so much so that she forgot about it.
Lin Jiancheng: "Go ask him."
Wu Yuelan: "Now?"
Various thoughts raced through Lin Jiancheng's mind: "Yes."
Wu Yuelan hesitated for a moment, but under Lin Jiancheng's urging gaze, she made the call anyway.
Lin Ling answered quickly: "Mom."
"Are you asleep?" Wu Yuelan remembered Lin Ling's time difference very well. "I hope I didn't disturb you."
"No, you tell me."
"Did you tell your sister about that thing you mentioned last time?"
Lin Ling paused.
His face, which had been looking a little sleepy, instantly brightened up.
"What's wrong?"
"Just asking."
Thinking that Lin Tan would go back and find out for herself, Lin Ling helped her conceal the truth: "Not yet."
"That's good." Wu Yuelan breathed a sigh of relief. "Your dad and I will handle this. Don't get involved, and don't tell her."
Lin Ling: "What are you going to do about this?"
Wu Yuelan: "Don't worry about it."
Lin Ling: "I'll tell her now."
"Go ahead and tell them." Lin Jiancheng took the phone and started getting angry at her. He no longer wanted to hide anything from Lin Tan. "If we hadn't taken her in and raised her with such care, would she be where she is today?"
A simple sentence caused a huge uproar in Lin Ling's mind.
She opened her mouth, but after a long while, she managed to utter a complete sentence: "Found it?"
"Otherwise what?" Lin Jiancheng blurted out.
They said a lot more after that.
Where did you find it?
What it looked like when I picked it up.
Why did you pick her up?
Lin Ling felt that the world was absurd.
So much so that she finally said in a low voice, "But she looks a lot like Mom."
“The world is so big, it’s not normal for things to be a little different.” Lin Jiancheng said casually, but he was very unhappy about his daughter’s tendency to side with outsiders. “I told you not to always side with outsiders, now you know why.”
Lin Ling remained silent.
She said a few words and then hung up the phone.
He lay on the bed for a long time, unable to come to his senses.
After about twenty minutes, she finally sent a message to Lin Tan.
—[Sis, have you gone back yet?]
She didn't know whether she should tell her the news.
Before this, she thought it was fine that her father wasn't her sister's father, because at least she wouldn't be so sad.
But the current outcome doesn't seem so good either.
Being neglected and unloved by one's biological parents, or being abandoned by one's biological parents.
Both of them seemed to be in great pain.
Lin Tan had just gotten off the high-speed train when she saw the message. She typed back with one hand: "Still on the way."
Lin Ling: Which of those two outcomes would you prefer?
Lin Tan: [Hmm?]
Lin Ling: [Between not being your parents' biological child and your mother having a child with someone else, which outcome would you prefer?]
Lin Tan paused for a moment after reading the message.
She thought for a moment.
The reply was: "[They're probably not his biological child.]"
She finds it hard to accept being blamed for someone else's mistake.
If they really hated her that much, they could have told her from the beginning that they hated her.
"Have you ever thought about this?" Lin Ling tried to answer her indirectly, "If you weren't their biological child, how did your parents find you?"
Lin Tan thought for a moment: "There are only two possible outcomes: abandonment or being trafficked."
Seeing how easily she answered, Lin Ling's tense heart relaxed a little.
Lin Tan: [I'll go first, then we'll talk.]
Lin Ling said "okay".
The distance from the high-speed rail station to my home is not far; it's only a ten-minute walk after exiting the station.
But Lin Tan had a very difficult time walking for those ten minutes.
With every step she took, she wondered what she would face if she went back.
"Are you... scared?" Yun Ting noticed her state.
“It’s not that I’m afraid.” Lin Tan didn’t mind telling her the truth, “It’s just that they don’t really like me. When I see them later, I’ll probably get another round of insults.”
Yun Ting: "?"
A rare expression appeared on Yun Ting's face.
She looked Lin Tan up and down: "Scolding?"
“I was not well-liked at home.” Lin Tan’s lips curled slightly, as if she were stating something quite ordinary. “I was basically beaten and scolded as I grew up.”
"Your parents must be quite strict." This was the only thing Yun Ting could think of.
“It’s not that I’m strict,” Lin Tan said, “I just don’t like it.”
Yun Ting frowned slightly.
Before she could figure out why she didn't like it, Lin Tan had already stopped in front of a door.
We haven't gone in yet.
A voice came from inside, preceding the person: "Lin Tan?"
As the words fell.
Lin Jiancheng came out.
He frowned and looked her up and down, finally fixing his gaze on her injured arm, asking with a hint of wariness, "What are you doing back here?"
Could it be that they've heard some rumors?
Or has something happened that has caused you to come back for money?
"I need to talk to you about something." Lin Tan's tone was calm. She was wearing a light-colored woolen coat and a mask, and with her arm in a sling, she looked somewhat weak.
"What is it?" Lin Jiancheng frowned. "You need money?"
Yun Ting: "?"
Yun Ting glanced sideways at Lin Tan and asked, "Is this your relative?"
"My dad," Lin Tan said casually.
Yun paused for a moment.
dad?
Then why are you still so cold and harsh?
Lin Jiancheng glanced at Lin Tan and began to make plans in his mind.
She still calls him "Dad," which means she probably doesn't know about Lin Ling's paternity test. She's with someone else, and her hand is injured. Could it be that she's back to recover from her injury?
It's no wonder he thinks that way.
After all, the town has a pleasant climate, sweet fruits, and excellent water quality.
Otherwise, young Qin Mo wouldn't have been arranged by Old Master Qin to recuperate here.
