Chapter 145 Parents Are Here
When Lin Shuwan heard this voice, his blood began to boil, his whole body felt numb, and he could no longer remain calm.
She looked at Cheng's parents who appeared at the door with surprise. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, but it seemed like several years had passed.
His throat tightened with excitement, and he could hardly utter a sound. Tears of emotion and longing welled up in his eyes, and Lin Shuwan spoke tenderly.
"Dad—Mom—"
When Cheng's parents saw Lin Shuwan, they couldn't hide their complicated emotions. Their originally cold and distant faces instantly became tender and affectionate, and their eyes were slightly red.
"Wanwan——"
The three people, who were not family but were closer than family, hugged each other with mixed feelings.
Lin Shuwan suppressed his excitement and asked with concern, "Why are you here?"
Mother Cheng looked at her precious daughter distressedly, "We are here to support you, you are such a jerk, you don't even tell me when you've been wronged. Your parents are heartbroken!"
Whenever Mrs. Cheng thought of what happened to Lin Shuwan in Hai City, her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, and she felt a dense pain, both self-blame and heartache.
If Cheng Zhiheng, who was far away in Tianqing Township, had not realized that this matter was not simple and was worried that the Lin family would take the opportunity to do something bad, and told Cheng's parents, they would still be foolishly unaware of anything and let Lin Shuwan face it all alone!
The rest of the people in the box couldn't believe what they saw. The Cheng family actually came?!
These people were all well-known and noble people in Hai City, but at this moment they all stood up subconsciously to greet him.
"You——"
Lin Ruohai wanted to call his good friend Youlin as he did before, but thinking of the current relationship between their two families, he awkwardly changed his name.
"Secretary Cheng, why are you here?"
The Zhou couple also stood up to greet him, extending their hands first, with an air of familiarity, "Secretary Cheng, why didn't you tell the people below you were coming?"
Father Cheng glanced at his former friend, who had changed a lot now. He then lowered his eyes to look at the hand extended by the Zhou family. He sat down again with Lin Shuwan with an expressionless face, ignoring everyone.
Lin Ruohai and Zhou's father were inevitably embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Father Cheng: "I came to Hai City for personal matters. You don't have to call me Secretary. This time I came mainly for Wanwan's matter. I didn't hear clearly outside just now. What's going on? Is there anyone who thinks I didn't teach Wanwan well enough?"
Lin Ruohai's expression changed, and he immediately apologized with a smile, "No, no, Youlin, you heard wrong."
Father Cheng snorted coldly, "That's what I thought. Wanwan has been praised for her intelligence and understanding since she was little. How come she's already been lectured after only six months at your Lin family?"
Lin Ruohai's expression was quite grim. Wasn't this a disguised way of saying that his Lin family's upbringing was bad?!
He forced a smile and chuckled twice.
Mrs. Zhou was a smart person. She said different things to different people. Knowing that the Cheng family was of high status and a family worth making friends with, she immediately followed the other party's words and praised them highly, regardless of how much she looked down on Lin Shuwan before.
"Shuwan is young and beautiful, and even more capable than boys. Everyone who sees her likes her!"
Father Cheng was unmoved. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Mrs. Zhou who was flattering him, and said indifferently, "Of course, our Wanwan is many times better than your son."
“........”
Mrs. Zhou's face became even uglier.
With the Cheng family in charge, no one dared to bully Lin Shuwan anymore, and all those disdainful attitudes and orders that ignored everything disappeared.
Ever since Mrs. Cheng heard about what happened to Lin Shuwan in Hai City, her heart felt so sad, as if someone was stepping on her.
She thought, if she had left Lin Shuwan in Yancheng regardless of everything, how could she have endured all this?!
I was filled with indignation. How could the Lin family be so cruel?! They had cruelly abandoned their child, and now that they had found their daughter, they didn't know how to cherish her? How could there be such parents in this world?!
She was straightforward and outspoken by nature. For the sake of her beloved daughter, she didn't care about any polite words and just wanted to seek justice for her daughter.
"Your Lin family has a good daughter, but you don't cherish her. The Zhou family cherishes their precious child, but unfortunately they have a useless son!"
One sentence offended and insulted two families, but the other party dared not say a word.
Madam Cheng: "I raised Wanwan for twenty years, treating her like my own daughter, never letting her suffer. But now she's been bullied by dogs. Now everyone in Hai City wants to step on my daughter! Qiu Jing—"
Mrs. Cheng looked at Qiu Jing coldly. When her name was called, she shuddered and looked over guiltily and flatteringly. Mrs. Cheng sneered.
"What did you promise me when you took Wanwan back home?"
When Qiu Jing thought about the promise she had made, she felt guilty and embarrassed, and her face looked a little awkward.
Half a year ago, they planned to take Lin Shuwan back, and Qiu Jing promised the Cheng family—
"Sister Lan, thank you for deciding to raise Shuwan back then. Otherwise, she might be living a hopeless life in some remote mountain valley right now.
Now that Shuwan has grown up, it's time for her to return home. I will make up for all the wrongs I've done to her over the years and never let her suffer any more. I will cherish my daughter."
It was because Qiu Jing cried so sincerely at that time that Mrs. Cheng decided to let Lin Shuwan go back.
She thought, Qiu Jing had been separated from her daughter for so long, and she had missed her for twenty years. She couldn't be a bad person who separated the mother and daughter.
What's the result? !
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cheng felt furious and wanted to burn the two families across the street. She couldn't help but speak in a harsh tone.
"Qiu Jing, twenty years ago, you were not a qualified mother. Twenty years later, you are still a failure as a mother."
It was like a heavy punch hitting Qiu Jing's heart, almost suffocating her. Qiu Jing covered her mouth and cried weakly.
When she made the promise, she was not lying at all, and she really wanted to make it up to Lin Shuwan.
But for some reason, even when things had developed to this point, she never thought of abandoning Lin Shuwan.
Twenty years ago, it was because of a family crisis that Lin Shuwan was sent away to save her life. But what about today, twenty years later? Why did she push Lin Shuwan further and further away again and again?
Now that the Cheng family has come to Hai City, Lin Ruohai knows that he can no longer hide it. The Cheng family must know everything. There is no point in saying more at this moment. The only thing he needs to do is to ensure that Lin Shuwan still works for the interests of the Lin family.
Lin Ruohai: "Youlin, you have raised Shuwan for so long, it is understandable that you have feelings for her, but Shuwan is my daughter after all. This is our family affair, and I will not harm her."
Father Cheng remained unmoved. He had always been kind to others, but now he was sharp and aggressive. "What if I insist on intervening?"
Lin Ruohai was stunned, as if he didn't expect Cheng Youlin to say such a thing.
But he was used to being a male chauvinist and always made the decisions in the family. At this moment, he couldn't help but frown and speak in a firm tone.
"I have discussed Shuwan's marriage with the Zhou family. Let's find a good day and let the two children get married!"
He makes decisions quickly, and makes a decision as soon as he opens his mouth.
Lin Shuwan was so angry that she blurted out, "I didn't agree! If you want to marry, then marry him! I'll wait for Yan Ci to come back!"
Lin Ruohai was furious, "Whether he can come out is still unknown!"
A teasing voice sounded, "Oh? Really?"
