Chapter 818 Learning Everything
"It's not about money," Lin Tan said calmly.
"Then what are you doing back here?" Lin Jiancheng was very unfriendly to her, his gaze sweeping over her injured hand. "There are no other rooms for you to stay in at home. If you want to recover, go stay in a guesthouse."
Lin Tan didn't say anything more.
He lifted his foot and walked inside.
Those things need to be discussed calmly and slowly.
"What are you doing?" Lin Jiancheng stopped her. "If you have something to say, just say it here. Don't bring your bad luck inside."
"Why didn't you feel unlucky when you transferred the money to me?" Lin Tan said, taking out a pre-prepared card from her bag, still expressionless. "One hundred thousand, is that enough to get through this door?"
She rarely gets this sharp.
But now.
She has difficulty controlling her emotions.
Regardless of whether she is biologically related to the family or not, considering the money she has been sending home since she started working part-time in college, they should at least ask her how she got injured.
But all she heard was bad luck.
"Transfer it first," Lin Jiancheng said.
“If I go in, the money will naturally transfer,” Lin Tan said. “If I don’t go in, I will never transfer another penny in my life.”
Lin Jiancheng: "You dare."
Lin Tan: "They're not even my biological child, why wouldn't I dare?"
Lin Jiancheng's pupils contracted.
He froze completely.
Five minutes later.
The group sat together.
Lin Tan and Yun Ting sat next to each other, while Lin Jiancheng and Wu Yuelan sat opposite them.
Looking at the person who was colder and more distant than usual, Wu Yuelan and Lin Jiancheng felt a little scared, especially Yun Ting sitting next to them. Because she remained silent and had a cold face throughout, they couldn't figure out what kind of personality she had.
"What do you want to know?" Wu Yuelan spoke first.
In just a few minutes, Lin Jiancheng had already told her everything.
He naturally knew that Lin Tan knew he wasn't her biological son.
"My background." Lin Tan simply said four words.
Wu Yuelan and Lin Jiancheng exchanged a glance, and the latter said bluntly, "I picked it up next to the trash can."
Even knowing this possibility, Lin Tan's heart still felt a little empty.
But she didn't show it; her face remained calm as always. To this, she simply asked, "If you clearly don't like me, why did you pick me up?"
Lin Jiancheng and Wu Yuelan fell into a rare silence.
I initially took her in because I had been trying to conceive for a long time without success, and she looked so cute and chubby, and it was pitiful to leave her there, so I couldn't resist bringing her home.
The plan was to raise her to adulthood, find her a good family to marry into, and then they could enjoy their old age in peace.
Who knew that she would later become pregnant with Lin Ling.
Once you have your own daughter, who would still want an adopted child?
"What else could it be?" Lin Jiancheng said after a long silence. "It's because we felt sorry for you. If we hadn't taken you in, you would have frozen to death next to the trash can long ago."
Listen to what he said.
Wu Yuelan hesitated, then ultimately said nothing more.
Even if they don't find that location, someone will find it sooner or later.
With people coming and going, it's too easy to notice the child.
"Where did you find me?" Lin Tan asked.
Lin Jiancheng didn't hide anything: "Jinhuai Town."
Lin Tan frowned slightly.
Jinhuai Town?
"I understand." She didn't intend to linger any longer and stood up from her chair.
"Are you leaving?" Lin Jiancheng stood up, his eyes only on money. "You haven't given me the 100,000 you mentioned earlier. If you want to buy out your relationship with us, you'll have to come up with two million."
After he finished speaking, he touched Wu Yuelan with his hand.
The latter echoed, "It hasn't been easy for us to raise you all these years. We won't stop you from finding your biological parents, but the money we owe you can't be less."
Lin Jiancheng: "Yes."
"No," Lin Tan refused decisively. "I only have 100,000."
"You brat..." Lin Jiancheng started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ten thousand it is." Wu Yuelan nudged him with her elbow. "You go first."
“Fine, take this 100,000, it’s equivalent to buying out our previous relationship.” Lin Tan said directly, “From now on, you can’t ask me for money or harass me like before.”
Over the years, from her part-time job in college to now, she has transferred over a million yuan to them, and with this 100,000 yuan today, it's more than enough to repay their so-called debt of gratitude for raising her.
Not to mention that their upbringing is far from perfect.
"Okay, okay," Wu Yuelan agreed.
Lin Jiancheng frowned deeply.
Lin Tan simply transferred the money: "Okay."
Wu Yuelan looked at the 100,000 yuan that had arrived in her account, a fleeting look of joy in her eyes, but she didn't show it very clearly on her face.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now." Lin Tan held her phone, her face still calm.
Wu Yuelan: "Okay."
Lin Tan and Yun Ting left together.
Before they even left, Lin Jiancheng couldn't help but ask, "Why did you agree so quickly? That girl will definitely make a lot of money later. Why buy her out for 100,000? What were you thinking?"
“Who said it was a buyout?” Wu Yuelan denied it at all. “It’s just the pension she gave us when she came back to visit us today.”
Lin Tan heard it.
She stopped walking, turned around, and said to them, "Oh, right."
Lin Jiancheng and Wu Yuelan both turned to look at her.
“I recorded the conversation just now.” Lin Tan’s tone was gentle, her beautiful fox-like eyes showing little emotion. “If you try anything funny, I will report you to the relevant authorities for not registering the adoption.”
“They will also report you for abusing the child during your custody period; these neighbors and Lin Ling can all testify to this.”
“You…” Wu Yuelan was furious.
Lin Tan ignored their insults and strode away with Yun Ting.
It wasn't until she left the town that her suppressed emotions found some relief.
Looking back at the place where I grew up, it would be a lie to say I didn't feel anything.
"Would you like to stay in a guesthouse?" Yun Ting saw the emotion in her eyes. "I'll book it."
"No need," Lin Tan said. "Let's go."
They boarded the high-speed train back to Gyeongju.
Sitting in her chair, Lin Tan was unusually listless, her usually calm and peaceful eyes now lifeless.
Seeing her like this, Yun Ting didn't disturb her.
Give her time to think and reflect.
After all, there was a lot of information this time.
"Don't you think I'm heartless?" Lin Tan suddenly spoke up.
Yun Ting: "Hmm?"
Lin Tan: "Buying out our relationship with them."
Yun Ting: "If it were me, I wouldn't have spent that 100,000 either."
When his daughter came home, the first thing she did wasn't to be happy or concerned about his injured arm, but to question him with an unhappy expression about why he had come back. From this alone, you could tell that he wasn't good to Lin Tan.
Not to mention what we talked about later.
"Thank you," Lin Tan said.
She didn't want to go out either.
After all, we had already transferred a lot of information before.
In addition, they disliked her from childhood, scolded and beat her when they were in a bad mood, and made her do chores when they were in a good mood. As a result, before Lin Ling grew up, she often suffered from hunger and cold.
but……
If they didn't find her, or if it was a human trafficker who found her.
Then her life might be even more difficult.
People are forced to beg for food after their hands and feet are cut off, or their organs are harvested to sell for money.
It's not impossible.
