Chapter 740 Lin's Father Came to Find Us
Seeing that Qin Mo did not reply, the property manager of Wangjiang Huating became a little anxious.
He made another call.
Still no one answered.
“I really am Lin Tan’s father.” A man in his fifties, carrying a backpack and wearing a dark coat, continued when they still wouldn’t let him in, “If you don’t believe me, you can call her out, or take me inside to find her.”
"We can't bring strangers in without the owner's permission," the security guard said politely. "Unless you can provide proof of your relationship with Ms. Lin Tan."
President Qin specifically instructed me to do so.
Without Miss Lin Tan's permission, we can't just let anyone go to see her. What if they're entertainment reporters or haters? After all, bad people these days don't wear their bad intentions on their sleeves.
"How can you prove that?" Lin's father couldn't keep up the act any longer, and his voice became louder than before. "When you go out to look for your daughter, do you bring a family photo and household registration book with you? Or do you say that people in big cities don't have parents when they grow up?"
"I understand how you feel, but we have our rules," the security guard continued politely. "Or could you ask Ms. Lin Tan to call us?"
Mr. Lin: "If I call her, there won't be any surprise. I came all this way just to give her a surprise."
The security guard hesitated, then finally turned to the property manager who was still contacting Qin Mo for help: "Manager, what should we do?"
The property manager paused.
Seeing that he hadn't received a reply from Qin Mo on his phone, he had no choice but to put his phone away: "I'll talk to him."
After speaking, he walked up to Mr. Lin and greeted him, "Mr. Lin, right?"
Lin's father didn't speak, but his displeasure was written all over his face.
“I understand your feelings, but we are doing this to protect the safety of the residents. If we just let strangers in, you wouldn’t feel comfortable letting your daughter live here, would you?” The property manager was very persuasive. “How about we call Ms. Lin Tan? As long as Ms. Lin Tan acknowledges that you are her father, we will let you in.”
Mr. Lin frowned, looking as if he was deep in thought.
He was actually cursing in his mind.
That brat had blocked his number a long time ago.
Forget about making phone calls, I can't even send a message!
"My phone is dead," Lin's father casually made up an excuse. "You call her."
A flicker of hesitation crossed the property manager's eyes, but after a moment he took out his phone: "Okay, tell me your daughter's number, and I'll call her for you."
As he spoke, Lin's father took out his phone from his bag and started looking for Lin Tan's number in front of the property manager and security guards.
Property Manager: "?"
security guard:"?"
The security guard coughed lightly: "Isn't there electricity here?"
“We’re almost out, we need to keep some as a backup…” As he spoke, Mr. Lin found Lin Tan’s number. “Found it.”
He started reading out the numbers.
The property manager checked the input with him after he finished.
Mr. Lin nodded and said yes.
The security guard caught a glimpse of the words "brat" in his contact name and whispered in the manager's ear, "Are you really going to call Miss Lin Tan? I have a feeling this person isn't very reliable."
Would a normal father save his daughter's contact as "dead girl"?
Why doesn't my phone automatically recharge when it's at over 70% battery?
There's clearly something fishy going on here.
"The phone number he gave is the same as Miss Lin Tan's." The property manager, knowing Qin Mo hadn't answered the phone or replied to messages, could only go along with it for now, "Let's ask him."
The words fell.
I also made a phone call.
Lin Tan answered the phone after it rang four or five times. Qin Mo had introduced her to the owner of the phone when she first arrived, so she knew who it was: "Manager Tan."
"I hope I didn't disturb your rest." The property manager was extremely kind to her.
"No." Lin Tan had just driven her car into the residential complex parking lot. "Is there something you need?"
The property manager glanced at Lin's father: "There's a man at the entrance of the community who claims to be your father. He's in his forties or fifties, rather thin, and he keeps saying he's looking for you."
Lin Tan paused in pulling out the car keys.
The blood in the body congeals rapidly.
Why is he here?
"Ms. Lin?" the property manager asked in a low voice.
"Does he have a scar the size of a thumb on his forehead?" Lin Tan asked, clinging to her last hope, her voice heavy and suppressed.
The property manager glanced at him, and not noticing anything unusual about Lin Tan, he quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Lin Tan's eyes instantly turned deathly still.
She's already come all the way here, to a different city, and yet she still managed to find me.
"Is he your father?" The property manager asked hastily, not hearing the other person's voice. "Should we invite him in?"
"Is he at the main gate now?" Lin Tan asked.
Property Manager: "Yes."
Lin Tan: "I'm coming right away."
After hanging up the phone, tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't understand why he was so persistent, especially since Huo Sinian had just dealt with her last time.
Thinking this way.
She suddenly tensed up.
Is that Huo Sinian...?
He knew his address and was also furious that he had run away from him.
She rejected it almost instantly.
Although Huo Sinian is a scumbag, he would never devise such a plot. If he really wanted to get revenge on her, he would prefer to do it himself, imprisoning, confining, and keeping an eye on her.
On the other side.
Seeing that the property manager had hung up the phone, the security guard took the initiative to ask, "What did Miss Lin Tan say?"
Property Manager: "Coming right away."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Then Lin Tan came out of the residential area.
The moment the property manager saw her, he rushed forward as if he had met a savior: "Ms. Lin Tan."
Lin Tan nodded slightly.
The property manager gestured, "This is Mr. Lin, who claims to be your father."
Lin Tan saw it.
She saw it the moment it came out.
When her eyes met that face, everything from the past flashed through her mind: he had traveled a long way to ask her for money to gamble, and when she refused, he caused a disturbance at her place, disturbing the peace.
I clearly sent them living expenses every month.
But the disturbance kept her from finding peace.
The worst...
Thinking back to the filthy words he had said to her, Lin Tan felt a strong hatred for him.
She hated this father.
If she could, she would even wish she had never been born.
"What are you doing here?" Her words were cold, completely different from the gentle and indifferent Lin Tan of the past, and fundamentally different from the Lin Tan who spoke with Yu Peiyun.
At this moment, she is...
I can't control my emotions at all.
She knew very well how capable this man was of causing trouble, and even more so that he could easily make her "famous".
“What are you talking about? What could your father possibly do here looking for his daughter?” Mr. Lin said, taking a few fruits out of his coat pocket and handing them over. “The plums at home are ripe, and your mother specifically asked me to bring you some.”
After saying that, he took off his backpack, took out a large bag from it, and handed it to her.
Lin Tan did not answer.
She knew this person's personality all too well.
Even if the sky were to fall, he would never treat her well.
She was forced to drop out of high school, caused all sorts of trouble at the school, and even had her university acceptance letter torn up.
As he grew up, he repeatedly asked her for money, starting with a few thousand, then tens of thousands, and eventually hundreds of thousands or millions.
“Don’t you love to eat? You often say that you can’t find the taste of home when you’re away from home.” Lin’s father said this with loving eyes, as if he really was a father who loved his daughter.
But if you look closely, you can see the greed in those eyes.
