Chapter 1034: Not on the same path
"Please sit down and order first." Mrs. Lin took the menu enthusiastically and handed it to Tu Ran.
"Uncle, aunt."
"I'll just say it straight. I'm not here to eat, and I'm not in the mood to order anything. If you have anything to say, just say it. I have other things to do." Tu Ran was very calm, without any pretense.
The Lin couple immediately looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.
Father Lin finally spoke, "Of course, no matter what happens, a meal is enough. Just consider it as giving your uncle some face."
Tu Ran was silent for a long time and didn't say anything else.
But I didn't order any food.
The dishes were ordered by Mrs. Lin.
The three of us ordered twelve dishes, each of which was very expensive.
This is probably the first time in the past few years that I have paid so much attention to her.
When she became Xie Nancheng's wife, they all treated her like this.
Tu Ran didn't understand what the Lin family was up to.
Afterwards, the dishes were served one after another.
Mrs. Lin kept picking up food for Tu Ran enthusiastically.
"Of course, you should eat more and you will lose weight."
Tu Ran picked up the chopsticks slowly and said nothing.
Father Lin raised his teacup and said, "Of course, uncle is offering tea instead of wine to apologize to you."
"You and Achen are clearly engaged."
"But our family broke the contract without authorization because of your status. We feel sorry for our elders and your grandfather."
"It's a good thing those things were returned, otherwise I would have felt uneasy."
"As for the grudge between Yaoyao and Xie Nancheng, we don't understand it, and we also persuaded her not to bear a grudge against you."
"The past."
"It's all our Lin family's fault."
"You've been hurt a lot, kid."
"Today, uncle apologizes to you all at once."
"Uncle, where did you get this from?" Tu Ran looked at Lin's father quietly.
"Nothing else, just a sincere apology."
"Now that you're divorced, life must be difficult."
"If the Xie family's attitude towards you is really as the media says, then you will not have an easy time."
"I mean..."
"Take these first."
Then, Lin's father pushed a check over.
Tu Ran was a little shocked.
The number was not huge, but it was a big surprise for the stingy Lin family.
After all, the Lin family has always been a well-known miser who only takes in money and never gives out.
From Lin Siyao to Lin Chen, none of them are generous people.
The fact that this old couple could come up with a check for such a large amount...there's definitely something wrong.
Tu Ran glanced at the number - three million.
It’s not much for Tu Ran at the moment, but for ordinary people, it’s still an amount that they cannot earn in a lifetime.
Mrs. Lin immediately began to explain, "Of course, you know what my family's situation has been like in the past two years. After Achen went bankrupt, we were burdened with a lot of debt. Your uncle and I used to move several times a month. We were really down and out. I didn't help you when you needed help."
"Now, you know it too."
"Achen got the property of his father-in-law and his wife."
"We are now more financially comfortable."
"These are our limits."
"Your uncle is worried that you might be having difficulties in life, but is too embarrassed to tell us."
"So, take it."
Tu Ran looked around, looking for the camera.
“There are no cameras and no recorders.”
"This money is for you. We don't need any publicity."
"As an old man, I still have to have some dignity." Father Lin saw what Tu Ran was thinking and immediately made a promise.
This surprised Tu Ran a little.
"Uncle Lin, why are you giving me so much money?"
"You're divorced, and it's not easy to live alone."
"The media didn't report the wealth the Xie family gave you. I'm worried they were all pre-marital assets. You left the house with nothing. Besides, the Xie family has a powerful legal team. You can't win the lawsuit."
Tu Ran didn't know whether what Lin's father said was true or not, but he didn't go to take the check.
"Lin Siyao, do you know?"
"This matter." She slowly picked up the teacup.
The Lin couple looked at each other again.
"have no idea."
"Yaoyao doesn't know."
"If she knew, we wouldn't come."
"She really... doesn't like you very much."
"Oh, does Lin Chen know?" Tu Ran asked again.
It was such a nonchalant tone, but it was full of oppression.
The Lin couple even became a little nervous.
Before Lin's father could say anything, the secret door at the back of the private room was pushed open.
Lin Chen walked out and said, "Don't force them. I asked them to do this."
“I gave the money too.”
"That's what I meant."
"I'll give it to you, but you can't take it. I'll leave it to my parents."
"There really was no camera, no recorder, and my sister didn't know either."
"Our Lin family did something wrong before. We are sorry."
"This money can be regarded as compensation for the breach of contract between us."
Lin Chen was wearing a classic plaid shirt from a famous brand, in blue and black.
Although we haven't seen each other for only a few days, you look much more haggard.
Even the stubble on his chin was clearly visible.
"I won't take the money."
"No matter what your purpose is." Tu Ran said word by word.
"Sister Ran, I really don't have any purpose."
"Isn't it possible that I just want to be nice to you?" Lin Chen questioned in front of his parents.
The private room suddenly fell silent!
"Achen, sit down and talk. Don't be anxious."
"Don't shout, don't scare Ranran." Mrs. Lin also changed her usual behavior. She used to look down on Tu Ran.
"You can be nice to me, but I can also be unacceptable."
"Why?" Lin Chen looked at Tu Ran.
“Because we’ve never been on the same path.”
"After Guo Meixin and his father died, we were no longer like that," said Tu Ran.
Lin Chen suddenly became furious. "I've already told you that I didn't kill my wife and father-in-law. The police have already investigated. Why don't you believe me?"
"I didn't say you killed him."
"But that doesn't mean their deaths have nothing to do with you."
"You know exactly what you were thinking when you married Guo Meixin."
"If you don't marry Guo Meixin."
"How did she end up like this?"
"Lin Chen, ask yourself, does this have nothing to do with you?"
After a long time, Lin Chen burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay."
"This is my judgment."
Tu Ran took a deep breath and said, "No, this is never a judgment. I just want you to clearly realize that we have never been on the same path together. So, I will not accept your good or your bad."
After saying that, Tu Ran stood up and was about to leave.
"Ran sister."
"I'm getting married."
Tu Ran was slightly startled and turned around, "Oh, congratulations."
She was just wondering which boss's only daughter Lin Chen had taken a fancy to and was about to take over the whole family.
Lin Chen suddenly said, "I'm going to marry Zhou Han."
Tu Ran was a little surprised.
Zhou Han? Is she the green tea bitch daughter of my ex-mother-in-law?
Could it be that they have the same name?
