Lin Shuyi pursed her lips tightly.
She looked at the agreement that Qi Yao had written and signed, and then looked at the blank paper on the table.
I struggled for a long time inside.
because--
If she really chooses to sign, she and her son will no longer be able to enjoy any benefits brought by the Yu family and the Yu family. The future of their mother and son will depend on whether Yu Wanqiao and Qi Yao are filial and sympathetic to their old friendship.
She likes Yu Wanqiao and feels sorry for her.
But she has lived half her life and knows human nature too well. She dare not gamble her and her son's future on people's hearts.
But if she chooses not to sign, it will make it clear to everyone that she is not willing to give up the fact of inheriting the Yu family's property and shares, and the Qi family will not be willing to help the Yu family. If the Yu family really goes bankrupt in the future and the Yu family empire collapses, what will happen to her and her son?
Or, just trust Qi Yao and his wife.
Or, just hold on to the Yu shares that Yu Xunzhi will give to you.
“Is it hard to choose?”
Wen Dai smiled faintly, then looked at Yu Wanqiao and said bluntly, "Baby, you must be clear about one thing: from the moment you married into the Qi family, you are a member of the Qi family. Everyone in this courtyard has their own little thoughts. But as your sister-in-law said, it is not her who will only seek benefits for you and Xiaoyao's child. It is only the Qi family! Only the Qi family will truly and unreservedly dedicate everything to you, Xiaoyao, and your child!"
Yu Wanqiao looked at Lin Shuyi with slightly hot eyes.
She originally thought that since Qi Yao signed so readily and promised to take good care of Lin Shuyi until the end of her life and to treat Lin Jiayi well and take care of him throughout his life, Lin Shuyi would be relieved.
After all, Qi Yao still has her by his side.
She was raised by Lin Shuyi, and she would definitely not betray them and their mother.
But Lin Shuyi was reluctant to sign...
Yu Wanqiao recalled that a few days ago, when the Qi family went to Sichuan to mourn their relatives, Lin Shuyi kept whispering in her ear, asking her to borrow money from the Qi family to help her family through the crisis.
Lin Shuyi said with a serious look, "Wanqiao, you know that sister-in-law never cares about these things. Sister-in-law is just worried that our father is in poor health and has to work hard. Sister-in-law also hopes that you can have an extra layer of protection. If Yu Shi gets better, won't the child still be yours and Xiaoyao's in the future? It won't fall into the hands of others. Jiayi will definitely not want it. If you don't believe me, I will let Jiayi sign a document now! Sister-in-law really cares about you and is worried about you, so she planned all this for you. You must quickly tell the Qi family and ask them to lend us the money!"
At that time, Yu Wanqiao really thought that these were Lin Shuyi's true words.
But the midday sun shines down from above, piercing people's hearts.
It also captured Lin Shuyi's struggle, hesitation, and resistance.
Yu Wanqiao's eyes were red. "Sister-in-law, this letter of guarantee was signed by Qi Yao. Don't you believe it? We can also send it to the notary office for notarization. Qi Yao and I will fulfill our promise to take care of you and Jiayi."
Lin Shuyi didn't answer Yu Wanqiao.
She took a deep breath, picked up the tea and took two sips.
After calming down, she looked at Wenda: "Wenda, since things have come to this, I will speak frankly."
Wen Dai: "Sister Lin, we are a family. We agreed before that we should discuss the matter at hand and only talk about the matter at hand without hurting feelings. So feel free to tell us what you have to say. If we have any problems, we will solve them. The Qi family will never evade them."
Lin Shuyi: "What Xiaoyao wrote only mentioned providing for my old age and treating Jiayi well, but didn't mention a specific amount. If the couple gives me three or five hundred a month, it would be considered fulfilling their promise of support. But how does that include taking care of Jiayi?"
Yu Wanqiao was incredulous: "Sister-in-law! Don't you trust me? How could I only give you three or five hundred in a month?"
Lin Shuyi said bluntly, "I will only trust this guarantee if Jiayi and I are included in the shares and dividends are distributed according to the shares! However, if the Qi family is unwilling to pay to help the Yu Corporation through that difficult time, what's the point of me wanting this dividend if the Yu Corporation goes bankrupt?"
She looked at Wen Dai again. "I'm not choosing either of the two choices you've given me! I want Wanqiao to support me in my old age, and I want everything Dad has given us! Including the promises Dad made to me but hasn't fulfilled yet!"
Wen Dai slammed the teacup down on the table. "Then stop brainwashing Qiaoqiao into borrowing money from us. Whether Yu is still around or not, everything in the future of the Qi family belongs to her and Xiaoyao, and to their children. This is the absolute truth! If you want to benefit yourself and secure a future for your son, you should speak out openly!"
Yu Wanqiao clenched her fists, holding the corner of her clothes in her palms.
Qi Yao took one of her hands, pried open her fingers little by little, and then interlocked theirs.
He saw the wedding ring on her ring finger.
It was the 5.20 carat heart-shaped diamond ring he gave her.
Qi Yao took her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, then said softly: "Actually, I think today's conversation was very good. Everyone talked about their inner thoughts, and their hearts became more open."
Wen Dai: “If it were me, even if I didn’t think about myself, I would still fight for my son.
So, Sister Lin, Xiaoyao is right. This conversation today is necessary. Let's get our needs out there so we can get things done. Actually, you've done a respectable job. If I were you, with such a high level of education, I wouldn't have been idle all these years. I would have joined the Yu Corporation long ago and become the person with the most decision-making power among the top management. I wouldn't have raised Jiayi to be so careless, and I wouldn't have given Qiaoqiao any room to grow.
Sister Lin, you are truly great for doing this for Qiaoqiao."
Lin Shuyi took a deep breath, her face burning. "You two, mother and son, are you giving me a slap in the face and then giving me two sweet dates? And, Wen Dai, are you sure you're praising me?"
Why does it sound like she's being mocked for being stupid, unable to seize opportunities, and unable to raise children?
Wen Dai smiled and held Lin Shuyi's hands across the table, shaking them like a spoiled child, still smiling: "No, no, I said it all along, let's just talk about the matter at hand and not hurt feelings."
Lunch was prepared by the hotel chef.
It's done now.
The sun is shining today and the yard is warm, but the air is still a little chilly.
Qi Zheng suggested eating in the glass greenhouse, where they could enjoy the beautiful mountain view.
Everyone moved and sat down in the glass greenhouse.
Wen Dai brought over some red wine and said, "When you were building the doghouse, we talked with Sister Lin and we reached a consensus on some future plans."
Lin Shuyi was a little nervous: "What consensus?"
