Chapter 166 Give Me Money
The engagement date for Fu Yanci and Lin Shuwan was set, and the beautifully designed invitations were sent out.
All the prominent people in Hai City will attend to witness this wealthy marriage.
In the invitation, the woman’s family was not listed as the Lin family, but the Cheng family.
This is indeed intriguing.
Outsiders do not know the specific inside story, and this action is bound to cause gossip. Some people speculate that it is because the Lin family is now in decline, and Miss Lin is just seeking profit and avoiding harm. After all, who would give up a more powerful background?
Naturally, they didn't dare discuss these things in front of the parties involved, but they would always gossip about them behind their backs after dinner.
Lin Shuwan didn't care what others said, nor did he intend to explain.
This is how society is. They only believe what they think is the truth.
The more gossipy and shocking the content, the better. They always want to dig up other people's embarrassing scenes, as if this can make themselves feel more mentally balanced and get a little fun.
Lin Shuwan really didn't have any extra feelings for the Lin family for what they did to her. No matter if others said she was cruel or scolded her for being unfilial, she only treated those who were worthy with kindness.
The Cheng family has raised her until now, openly and honestly.
Lin Shuwan knew from a very young age that she was not a biological child. The Cheng family never took advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of her. Instead, they treated her as their own daughter and let her feel equal and unrequited love.
Cheng's parents are decent people, and outsiders have always had a good opinion of them over the years.
Although the engagement party was not hosted by the Lin family, as Lin Shuwan's biological family, they still sent an invitation. On the one hand, they also did not want others to say anything about Lin Shuwan.
Ever since the incident, the atmosphere in the Lin family has been very depressed.
Lin Ruohai was eventually sent to prison because he framed Fu Yanci and had other misconducts such as accepting bribes in secret in recent years. He did not have the ability of his father and could not escape the punishment of the law.
Now the Lin family relies on Lin Mucheng's company for support.
"Brother, why is my credit card suspended?"
Lin Yuyao hadn't been home for a long time, and the first time she came back was to ask for money. At this moment, she was wearing a small LV dress, with dark circles under her eyes, a tired look on her face, and a strong smell of cigarettes all over her body.
When Lin Mucheng saw Lin Yuyao like this, he felt indescribable emotions in his heart. He didn't understand why she became like this and felt very tired inside.
"Yaoyao, stop gambling. You've already lost too much—"
"It was just an accident! I'll win it back! I'll make you more money!"
Lin Yuyao became addicted to gambling following Liu Yanmei, always thinking that she could win big and earn as much as Lin Shuwan!
Lin Mucheng looked helpless as he continued to persuade her, "Yaoyao, this is a bottomless pit. Stop it now."
As soon as Lin Mucheng opened his mouth, Lin Yuyao couldn't stand it anymore and started yelling and making a fuss. "You just don't want to give me money, right?! You clearly said you would protect me and agree to whatever I said! You've changed! You've changed!"
Lin Mucheng pinched his brows. Lin Yuyao's shouting gave him a headache and he looked tired.
Has he changed? Maybe.
But he was still willing to pamper this sister. After all, she had lived with them for so many years. What about Lin Yuyao? Hadn't she changed?
Lin Mucheng couldn't understand why Lin Yuyao had developed so many bad habits and become so arrogant and unreasonable.
He patiently tried to comfort her, "Yaoyao, I can support you. I don't need you to make money. Don't gamble anymore. Why don't you go shopping and travel with your sisters every day?"
"not good!"
Lin Yuyao screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice became hoarse from smelling cigarettes in the casino all night. Her eyes were filled with terrifying red bloodshot and her face was hideous.
"Who's going to play with me now?! They've all gone to curry favor with Lin Shuwan! Am I just going to be a useless person who goes shopping and travels?! I can make money! Lots and lots of money!"
Facing such a Lin Yuyao, Lin Mucheng was speechless. It made no sense at all. For Lin Yuyao, he hardened his heart and said, "If you don't quit gambling, I won't give you money!"
Lin Yuyao's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that Lin Mucheng, who always agreed with her, would actually treat her like this?!
Why on earth did it turn out like this? Glancing across the table, I saw a gold-stamped invitation and a computer screen nearby where people were browsing wedding gifts.
Lin Yuyao sneered, and her cold eyes really hurt Lin Mucheng's heart.
"No wonder you didn't give me any money. Turns out you were planning to give it to your other sister! You've raised me for so long and are finally planning to abandon me? Lin Mucheng, you really disgust me!"
Lin Mucheng froze in his tracks, his blood freezing and his heart aching, as if someone was clutching him tightly in their hand. He hadn't expected Lin Yuyao to say such words.
He took care of Lin Yuyao for twenty years and doted on her sincerely. Even after Lin Shuwan came back and even after knowing that Lin Yuyao had found her biological mother, Lin Mucheng never thought of abandoning her.
After all, it was their family who made the mistake and changed the fate of two innocent children.
So no matter how willful Lin Yuyao is, he will take care of her for the rest of her life. But how could Lin Yuyao, who has always been sweet-mouthed and good at coaxing people since childhood, become so hateful now?
Lin Yuyao knew Lin Mucheng's character well, so she dared to say such words.
Impatience showed between her brows. There was no point in wasting time without any money. Liu Yanmei said she had a way to borrow money.
Qiu Jing, who heard the quarrel, just went downstairs and saw Lin Yuyao leaving.
"Yaoyao——"
The other person walked away from her without mercy, with obvious disgust in his eyes.
Qiu Jing is a housewife and has no money!
"Mu Cheng, why did you quarrel with Yaoyao?"
"nothing."
Lin Mucheng grabbed a handful of hair irritably, not wanting to make his mother worry.
But just now, when Qiu Jing heard Lin Yuyao's last roar, she taught Lin Mucheng a lesson without knowing the truth.
"Mu Cheng, Shu Wan doesn't recognize our family anymore. No matter how good you are to her, she won't be grateful. But Yaoyao is different. She has been very considerate to you over the years. You shouldn't treat her like this."
Because Lin Shuwan chose the Cheng family as the representative of her mother's family, Qiu Jing always felt a thorn in her heart.
"Mom, don't you know how we treat Shuwan? And how the Cheng family treats her? Can't you see the difference?"
Qiu Jing pursed her lips, unable to speak.
That's what she said, but as a mother, she always felt unbalanced.
Lin Mucheng: "Shuwan has already given us enough face. At least she sent us an invitation. If you want to go, come with me."
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to attend their own daughter's engagement party, which would be laughable.
Qiu Jing couldn't refute anything and looked towards the door. "What about Yaoyao?"
Lin Mucheng was already very tired, this tiredness was not physical, but mental.
But there is no way. He is the only man in the family and the Lin family still relies on him for support. He cannot fall down. The Lin family is in this situation today, and each of them has an inescapable responsibility.
He sighed and said, "I will send someone to keep an eye on Yaoyao and prevent her from getting into trouble."
Lin Yuyao, who returned empty-handed, was filled with anger and almost exploded with rage. She was itching to join the card game immediately, but she had no money in her pocket.
Lin Mucheng actually dared to resist her? !
To be fair, after the Lin family fell, Lin Mucheng had always been very good to her. He still bought her the bags and clothes she liked before, and never missed one.
But Lin Yuyao is such a greedy person that she only wants more.
Now Lin Mucheng treats her like this because of Lin Shuwan!
She is actually going to get engaged to Fu Yanci?
Ridiculous! Why would she be happy?!
