Chapter 28 Building a Safe House
As soon as Lin Muyan returned to the Lin family, she was surrounded by the whole family, who were concerned about her.
They didn't care whether she actually got a luxury house. Lin Xiao didn't even tell her family how much the house was worth or what it meant.
All they knew was that Lin Muyan had been bullied by the Shen family couple today, and that she might be burdened with huge debts in the near future.
No one coveted her house; instead, they cared for her, comforted her, and were willing to face the debts with her.
Lin Muyan was deeply moved. After hearing their words, her eyes were already slightly red, and something was churning in her chest.
Although there were no major upheavals in the Shen family before, she had never felt surrounded by relatives and cared for and warmed like this before.
Lin Muyan felt that this feeling was not bad, and she did not reject it.
However, after being moved, she still had to say something.
"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Xiao Nuan, you don't need to worry about me. I know what I'm doing and I won't suffer any losses."
She knew what she was doing. She should repay the Shen family for raising her for twenty years, but there had to be a limit. If her adoptive parents kept pressuring her without considering the consequences, then she didn't need to be polite to them.
The end of the world is in three months, so even if she wanted to renege on this debt, it wouldn't be impossible!
After hesitating for a moment, Lin's father asked cautiously:
"Daughter, we should indeed repay the debt of gratitude for raising us, but I wonder how much it will be?"
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and said, "It won't be less. My adoptive father is a business genius. He won't do business that will make him lose money, so they will definitely quote a high price for this money, so high that I will have no choice but to give up the house."
Based on her understanding of her adoptive father, his purpose was not to make her repay the debt of raising him; he just wanted to get his hands on the mansion.
Therefore, paying off the debt is just a pretext; this child support payment is unreasonable in any way.
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lin's hearts skipped a beat. After exchanging a glance, they simultaneously made a decision in their hearts.
Even if they have to work like slaves for the rest of their lives, they will never let their daughter bear it all alone.
Child support should be paid by the parents.
——
In just one day, Lin Xiao had completed all the formalities.
The moment Lin Muyan received the property certificate, she immediately drove to the hillside villa.
This time, she was still driving that dirty rented pickup truck. When the security guard at the gate saw her, his expression turned very strange, but he quickly let her through.
"This is really strange. Just who is Lin Muyan? After being expelled from the Shen family, she actually returned here so quickly. I heard she got a luxury house for free without paying a penny."
"The Shen family pressured Miss Lin that day, demanding that she pay off her debts with a house, wanting her to repay the kindness of raising her for twenty years. Miss Lin refused. This is a luxury villa on the hillside. The Shen family really has the nerve to ask for such a thing."
"That's right. If I had a mansion like that, I definitely wouldn't give it away. Mrs. Shen and Chairman Shen are probably envious."
Lin Muyan didn't care about the security guards' gossip. Now that she had the house, she had to hurry up and renovate it.
The weather these past few days has been unusually erratic, fluctuating between hot and cold, and last night, it even hailed.
Although it only lasted a short while, it was enough to illustrate some points.
Overnight, numerous prediction posts appeared online, and some bloggers even predicted the end of the world.
However, such doomsday theories are quickly ridiculed, and people naturally do not believe them.
Meteorologists have also come out to debunk the rumors, urging netizens not to panic, as this level of weather change is far from being extreme weather.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muyan anonymously posted under the most popular posts, urging everyone to stock up on supplies just in case.
As expected, she received an unusually large number of comments, but almost all of them were mocking her.
"Anyone actually believes in doomsday theories? You're not that old, but you're just like those old folks, believing whatever they tell you."
"Tell me, what product is causing this oversupply, and we ordinary people have to share the losses this time?"
'The end of the world? Bring it on! I've been wanting to quit that awful job for ages. Destroy everything, just hurry up and do it.'
Lin Muyan stopped paying attention to those posts, and she was even less inclined to follow other people's replies.
Now, the moment she opens her eyes, a barrage of comments flies before her eyes, too many to keep up with. The comments from netizens are nowhere near as useful as these comments.
Since she could see these comments, Lin Muyan's life has been exceptionally smooth. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to imagine how miserable and dejected she would have been after being kicked out of the Shen family.
The apocalypse three months from now might just be her death day.
Lin Muyan parked the pickup truck in the yard and took out her house key to open the door and go inside when Rong Muchen's voice suddenly rang out behind her.
He glanced at Lin Muyan's dirty pickup truck parked in the yard and frowned slightly.
"Mu Yan, you..."
Lin Muyan now harbored some resentment towards Rong Muchen, and knowing that he was definitely here to persuade her again, she simply interrupted him.
What are you doing here?
Rong Muchen's heart clenched upon hearing this, and his brows furrowed tightly.
"Are you angry? I advised you yesterday because I didn't want you to have too much of a falling out with the Shen family. It wouldn't do you any good. If you don't like hearing those words, I promise I won't say them again."
Lin Muyan ignored him and inspected the entire mansion from the inside out. Rong Muchen followed her around like a child who had done something wrong.
Excluding the front and back yards, the mansion covers an area of 500 square meters, with three floors above ground and two floors below ground, and also has two highly private courtyards, totaling 2,000 square meters.
However, because the house has been uninhabited for a long time, it needs repair and maintenance and cannot be moved in immediately.
However, Lin Muyan did not plan to hire someone to repair it. She chose to directly carry out the safe house renovation. The contract was still lying in the space. The instructions said that as long as she wrote her name on the contract, someone would contact her. She was really looking forward to it.
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Muyan simply told Rong Muchen to leave.
"Mu Chen, I have things to do, why don't you go back first?"
Rong Muchen was taken aback again. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and now it was just the two of them. Was she in such a hurry to send him away?
Rong Muchen looked hurt, but Lin Muyan was preoccupied with the safe house and didn't give him a chance to speak, forcibly kicking him out of the mansion.
Once no one was disturbing her, Lin Muyan immediately took out the contract and signed her name.
After waiting for a while and nothing happened, Lin Muyan thought that she couldn't just sit there and wait idly, so she drove her pickup truck to the market again to continue stockpiling supplies.
Another day passed, and Lin Muyan still hadn't received any information about the safe house renovation, so she took out the contract again.
To everyone's surprise, the contract contained new information, including a progress bar for the renovation.
The safe house renovation project has begun, and all workers are now on site.
Lin Muyan stared wide-eyed in disbelief and rushed to the scene, only to be startled by what she saw.
The mansion was surrounded by a tall fence that blocked outsiders from prying into its surroundings. Several men in suits and sunglasses stood by the fence.
Overnight, the mansion went into construction mode.
