Chapter 774 Lin Tan
Buzzing.
The phone kept ringing.
Lin Tan showed no intention of accepting the offer.
Every time they call, besides asking her for money, they also curse her for being heartless. Last time, after Dad went back, she also called to curse her, calling her a vixen and saying that she was ganging up with other men to bully her father.
She didn't explain, after all, they were capable of colluding with outsiders to spread rumors about her, so they wouldn't listen to any explanations.
It rang for several tens of seconds.
The call ended automatically.
Lin Tan reached for her phone.
Just as she was thinking of looking up some information, her call came in again on the screen. She frowned. In the past, she would call once and send countless messages to scold her for being unfilial. Why did she change her mind and call a second time today?
After careful consideration.
Fearing that something truly important might be happening, she accepted the call anyway.
"Hello." Her tone was cold and devoid of emotion.
"What are you doing, you brat? Why haven't you answered the phone for so long?" Wu Yuelan's voice came through the phone, her tone harsh. "Send 500,000 yuan quickly! Your sister's in the hospital!"
Lin Tan's expression remained unchanged: "Lin Ling is still your daughter, aren't you afraid something will really happen to her if you curse her like this?"
In those previous years.
They also use all sorts of tricks to ask for money.
One minute they fall, the next something happens at home, and then Lin Ling encounters misfortune.
This excuse has been used at least five or ten times.
"I'm not joking with you, check the message yourself," Wu Yuelan said urgently.
Lin Tan didn't want to get involved.
But I could vaguely hear other people talking on the phone.
She hung up the phone and saw that Wu Yuelan had sent her a picture. In the picture, her father, Lin Jiancheng, was sitting on a bench with a worried look on his face. In the center of the picture was the red light of the operating room.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
A sense of unease rose in my heart.
“The doctor said she has multiple fractures and it will cost a lot of money.” Wu Yuelan sent another voice message. “We don’t have enough money on us, so please send some over quickly. After all, she is your sister.”
Lin Tan dialed the number again.
Wu Yuelan answered almost instantly.
"How did Lin Ling get injured? Wasn't she abroad?" Lin Tan asked.
“What time is it for you to be asking these questions?” Wu Yuelan said. “Transfer the money first. What if there’s an emergency and they won’t treat you because you don’t have the money?”
"No, if any doctor asks you to sign anything, I'll cover the costs." Lin Tan was very rational and knew the hospital's procedures. "Answer my questions first."
Normally, Lin Ling did not return to China.
It's impossible for such a thing to happen.
“It’s all because of you,” Wu Yuelan said.
Lin Tan: "?"
Because of her?
“If you hadn’t told her about those people interviewing us, why would she have come back to criticize us out of concern for you?” Wu Yuelan said emotionally. “If she hadn’t come back, she wouldn’t have been hit by a car.”
"Where is the driver who caused the accident?" Lin Tan asked.
“How should I know? She hit someone and ran away,” Wu Yuelan said quickly. “If the hospital hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have known she was back.”
Lin Tan's mind was in complete turmoil.
Wu Yuelan: "If you have any conscience at all, hurry up and transfer the money. Your sister did this for you!"
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Lin Tan hoped this was a lie.
But that photo made everything seem so real.
She made a phone call to Lin Ling. Whether it was true or not, a phone call could resolve the issue. If nothing happened, that would be best, but if something did happen, she could make arrangements in advance.
As the phone beeped, Lin Tan's heart jumped.
The call was answered a few seconds later.
"Do you think I'm lying to you when you call your sister?" The person who answered the phone was Wu Yuelan. These words completely shattered Lin Tan's hopes. Lin Ling's phone had always been in her own hands, but now it was in her mother's hands.
The thought of Lin Ling getting into trouble because of her made Lin Tan's heart race.
"I'll transfer the money to you right away." Lin Tan's heart sank. "Could you please give me Dr. Lin Ling's phone number? I'll ask about the situation later."
"I know," Wu Yuelan said impatiently.
Lin Tan: "What did the doctor say?"
"Besides telling us to wait outside and prepare the money, what else can you say?" Wu Yuelan's tone was harsh. "If anything happens to Lin Ling this time, you will be the culprit who caused her death!"
Lin Tan didn't speak.
She wanted Lin Ling to be happy more than anyone else.
Of the entire family, only Lin Ling cared about her; only she cared whether she was happy or not.
She opened her phone, looked at the bank card with only a few hundred thousand yuan left, and transferred 100,000 yuan to Wu Yuelan's account without any hesitation. She planned to go back and see how things went before deciding what to do with the rest of the money.
It's only 11 a.m.
The retest is tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm.
There's plenty of time to go back.
While she was thinking, she booked a ticket for two hours later. As soon as she finished booking, Wu Yuelan called, asking, "Didn't I tell you to transfer 500,000? Why did you only transfer 100,000?"
“100,000 is enough for emergencies.” Lin Tan didn’t completely trust them. “I’ll come back later and ask the doctor about the situation. If that amount is indeed needed, I’ll transfer it to Lin Ling’s card.”
They care about Lin Ling, but that doesn't mean they won't take this opportunity to "blackmail" her.
"You're coming back?" Wu Yuelan's voice rose slightly.
Lin Tan's mind was filled with Lin Ling's situation: "Hmm."
“You’re not a doctor, what are you doing back here?” Wu Yuelan said coldly. “If anything happens, we’ll let you know. Just focus on making money over there and send it back.”
Lin Tan didn't speak.
If it were just them who got into trouble, she would only send money and not care, because there was no emotional connection between them. But Lin Ling was the person she cared about most, and she couldn't just watch her get into trouble and do nothing.
"Did you hear me?" Wu Yuelan instructed.
Lin Tan didn't want to say much to her, and simply said, "I understand."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Wu Yuelan gave her a few more instructions, which were nothing more than telling her to transfer the remaining 400,000 yuan as soon as possible so as not to delay Lin Ling's treatment.
Lin Tan made up a random excuse and said she would give it to him later.
After hanging up the phone, she grabbed her documents and headed straight to the airport, her mind filled with worry and concern for Lin Ling.
At the same time.
Looking at the 100,000 yuan that had been deposited into her phone, Wu Yuelan frowned and said to Lin Jiancheng, "What should we do? That brat only transferred 100,000 yuan, and she said she wanted it back."
Lin Jiancheng: "Didn't you tell her not to come back?"
Wu Yuelan: "I did say that, but I think she will come back. She and Lin Ling have always had a good relationship."
Lin Jiancheng frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "I'll come back then."
Wu Yuelan looked worried: "Won't we be exposed when we come back? What will we do about the 400,000?"
“Call her in another hour and tell her that Lin Ling’s condition has suddenly worsened and she has been transferred to the intensive care unit, which requires a lot of money,” Lin Jiancheng said. “Tell her to call immediately.”
"Will she?" Wu Yuelan asked worriedly.
"Whether it's true or not, let's not worry about that for now, we'll talk about it later." Lin Jiancheng didn't care about any of that.
Wu Yuelan nodded in agreement.
After a while.
Looking at Lin Ling's phone in her hand, she couldn't help but feel worried: "What if Lin Ling blames us when she finds out? That brat has instilled a lot of things in her over the years, which has made her always side with her."
