Butler Li asked instinctively, "Madam, what do you need a truck for?"
"Never mind that, just find it for me," Zhang Wanru replied.
"Okay, I'll contact them right away."
Butler Li knows Zhang Wanru and Lin Haoran, this couple, all too well.
He knew that Zhang Wanru was looking for a truck to sell her assets, and that when Lin Haoran returned and found out, a fierce battle was inevitable.
However, he was getting old and enjoyed watching a good show. The more this family made a scene, the more he felt that Lin An leaving the Lin family was the right choice.
Butler Li decided that after watching the spectacle, he would pack his things, retire, and go home to enjoy his old age.
The operating room doors opened, and Lin Rou, pale-faced and clutching her stomach, slowly shuffled out of the operating room.
Zhang Wanru rushed forward to help her up: "Daughter, are you in pain?"
"It hurts, Mom, it hurts so much!" Lin Rou said, tears streaming down her face. "The doctor said that a D&C can thin the uterine wall, which may affect future pregnancies."
Her mother only taught her that having children would tie a man down and help her marry into a wealthy family, but she never taught her that if she encountered a scumbag, she would have to bear the consequences herself, suffering both physical and mental trauma.
If a man is ruthless enough, in these matters between men and women, it is often the woman who suffers.
"No, no, you'll definitely recover." Zhang Wanru quickly comforted her, then used herself as an example: "Look at Mom, she was able to give birth to six. You're my daughter, so you'll definitely be no less capable."
Despite her current state, Zhang Wanru is still proud of her extraordinary fertility.
"Waaaaah..."
"Xiaorou, don't cry. Let's hurry home. If we get back late, I'm afraid your dad will sell everything in the house and give it all to Yang Li."
"Okay, let's go back quickly then." Lin Rou ignored the pain in her body and quickened her pace.
Back at the Lin family villa, Lin Rou immediately suggested to Zhang Wanru:
"Mom, let's sell these rosewood furniture pieces first, and the bed in Dad's room, which is made of huanghuali wood. That's the most valuable one. These should fetch at least a million or so. Once we have the cash, it'll be enough for us to live on for a while."
Butler Li, standing to the side, asked quietly, "If we sell the master's bed, where will he sleep tonight?"
Zhang Wanru snorted and said with a look of disgust:
"Go sleep at Yang Li's place. Doesn't he like that little slut? Go sleep there and never come back. I don't care if he dies in her bed."
"If he hadn't been out partying, how could the Lin family have ended up like this? Bah!"
Seeing Zhang Wanru getting more and more carried away, Lin Rou quickly took her hand and said, "Mom, don't think about these things for now. There are still those paintings, porcelain jars, and driftwood ornaments. These are all valuable. Let's sell them all."
"Yes, yes, yes."
In this respect, the mother and daughter were surprisingly in agreement.
The truck arranged by Manager Li arrived, and Zhang Wanru, abandoning her usual gentle demeanor, personally directed the workers to load the truck.
Lin Rou watched from the side.
She had just suffered a miscarriage and should have been recuperating for a while, so the housekeeper, Li, was a little worried about her health and reminded her:
"Second Miss, go back to your room and rest. You can't overexert yourself right now. I'll stay with Madam and keep an eye on things."
Zhang Wanru added, "Yes, Mom saved your bed for you. Go back and rest well."
Lin Rou insisted, "No need, Butler Li, I'll just sit to the side, I won't get tired."
Butler Li shook his head helplessly and brought over a soft cushion to make her more comfortable.
He knew that Lin Rou was afraid that Zhang Wanru would sell the money and run away with it, leaving her with nothing. For the sake of the money, she had to stay by her side.
Soon, the workers loaded the furniture onto the truck, and the group headed towards a high-end secondhand market in Haishi.
Seeing that Lin Haoran's bed was in the car, and the sofa from home was also in the car.
Butler Li thought to himself, "When Lin Haoran gets home, he'll probably have to sleep on the floor. How interesting."
......
At this point, the college entrance examination was in its second subject, mathematics.
Leng Feng and Tong Jiaojiao waited for Leng Lin and Lin An at a coffee shop on the corner of the exam site.
It wasn't that they didn't want to wait outside the exam hall like other parents, but Uncle Wu was too concerned about his image and always brought bodyguards with him when he went out. A dozen or so men in black followed behind him, and they didn't look like good people.
Besides, the area outside the exam hall is only so big, and there are only two students in his family taking up so much space.
Even in this coffee shop, no other customers came in after their arrival.
Several customers who were passing by came in, and when they saw that the shop was packed with people, they assumed that the owner had offended someone and all turned around and left.
"Would you like a refill, sir?" the shop owner asked kindly.
Leng Feng glanced at the empty coffee cup, then at the shop owner, his smile more like a grimace.
He was a thoughtful person and knew that running a business was not easy, so he said calmly:
"No need, we'll leave now."
When Tong Jiaojiao heard him say he was leaving, she asked doubtfully, "Honey, where are we going? Aren't we going to wait for the children?"
Leng Feng looked at his wife and said softly, "The exam is two hours long, we can take a walk first. There's a famous secondhand market nearby, it's a gathering place for many private collectors, and a lot of high-end furniture and antiques are traded there. Let's go take a look. You can't go home empty-handed, maybe we'll find something suitable."
Leng Feng wanted to spend the next two days walking around with Tong Jiaojiao and creating as many memories as possible.
Grandpa Tong doesn't accept him, and the entire Tong family doesn't recognize him. It's estimated that after Leng Lin finishes her college entrance exams, Uncle Wu will take Tong Jiaojiao and Leng Lin back to Beijing, while he, the unaccepted son-in-law, will have to stay in Haishi.
Leng Feng and Tong Jiaojiao had never discussed this, but they were both well aware that the day the woman returned to her family would be the day they parted ways.
They both cherish the time they have together now.
Tong Jiaojiao's eyes were downcast, but she forced a smile and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk. We'll walk around for a while, and the children will be done with their exams soon, then we'll come back."
Just as Leng Feng got up to pay for his coffee, Xiao Wang beat him to it and paid for it first.
Tong Jun approached with a swaying gait, and said in a sweet voice:
“Oh, Uncle, there’s someone specifically for paying these things, and we reimburse you for everything.”
"Going to the second-hand market, right? I like it. I want to buy a 1000-pound canopy bed."
After saying that, he walked out of the coffee shop with the graceful steps of a woman from the pre-Qin period.
Tong Jun is an outlier in the Tong family. He doesn't care whether Leng Feng can enter the Tong family. Since he is his aunt's husband, he is his uncle. He is very tolerant and has a broad worldview.
Leng Feng, unaccustomed to the ways of the wealthy, gave an awkward laugh, took Tong Jiaojiao's hand, and walked out.
