Chapter 332 Lin Jingcheng Passes Away
Jiang Ning hesitated for a long time before reluctantly answering the phone.
Shen Yunlin saw Jiang Ning holding a phone, his lips barely moving, as if he was just listening to what the person on the other end of the line was saying.
However, he noticed that Jiang Ning's expression had changed. First, he was surprised, and then he became very serious, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito.
"What's wrong with Master?"
Shen Yunlin muttered to himself, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
His premonitions always come true, even if they're bad.
As expected, after Jiang Ning finished making the call, Shen Yunlin was pulled to a secluded corner by Jiang Ning.
"The situation has changed... I'm sorry, I can't participate in this competition."
Lowering his voice, Jiang Ning said this to Shen Yunlin.
She thought Shen Yunlin would be disappointed or even angry, but to her surprise, Shen Yunlin pressed down on her shoulders with both hands.
"It's alright, Master. You go and do your thing! Although I don't know what it is, it seems very important."
For some reason, Shen Yunlin's thoughtfulness brought tears to Jiang Ning's eyes.
She was well aware that her temporary departure would have a very negative impact on Shen Yunlin.
Previously, when promoting this piano competition, Shen Yunlin had been using her status as the female president of the Lu Group and a design master of BYC as a gimmick.
Moreover, this promotional method was her idea, in order to lure Joker into a trap.
However, due to the suddenness of the situation, she had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving, Shen Yunlin grabbed her again and extended his little finger to her.
"Pinky promise with me, next time I hold a competition, you have to contribute five songs by yourself."
Jiang Ning smiled so hard his lips twitched slightly. He hooked his finger with Shen Yunlin's and thought to himself: If I played five songs by myself, it wouldn't be a competition.
As Jiang Ning changed his clothes and left the concert hall, Lu Junyan remained seated in the audience, eagerly anticipating Jiang Ning's performance.
Escorted by six bodyguards, Jiang Ning arrived in Country C by plane.
She needs to hurry.
Throughout the journey, she couldn't quite articulate her feelings.
It's very complicated...
Three hours later, the plane landed.
Three hours later, the funeral was over.
Jiang Ning arrived at the Lin family's old house according to the address given by Lin Yueheng.
As time passed, she not only couldn't remember the address of the old house, but she also had no recollection of what it looked like.
When Jiang Ning appeared at the gate of the old house, everyone else had already arrived.
After so many years, when Jiang Ning saw Lin's extended family again, she felt even more unfamiliar than strangers.
"Hey, look at that person... isn't she Ah Chu?"
People have taken notice of Jiangning.
"How could it be A-Chu? She's no longer a member of the Lin family."
"Besides, since the old man disliked her so much, how could her name possibly be in his will?"
"So you're saying that if she comes, President Lin won't have peace in the other world either?"
"But I really think she is Achu!"
Do you still remember what A-Chu looks like?
"How could I possibly remember... but that aura... do you understand? That ominous feeling..."
"Achu!"
Suddenly, someone called out to Jiang Ning.
This sound caused all the people from the Lin family who had just attended the funeral and were gathered in the old house waiting to hear the will to turn their attention to Jiang Ning.
None of those gazes were friendly.
In Jiang Ning's memory, Lin Jingcheng was not a person who liked to visit relatives.
However, the Lin family's growth and expansion were entirely due to Lin Jingcheng.
Therefore, even though Lin Jingcheng himself was eccentric and dictatorial, his relatives still followed his lead.
Jiang Ning was not familiar with these relatives of the Lin family; even before leaving the Lin family, he had only met them a few times.
Jiang Ning didn't understand how he had been recognized.
It's also possible that because she was so unfamiliar, people naturally associated her with her.
"Don't call me that. No one in the Lin family is called A-Chu."
"Yeah, yeah, wasn't she adopted out?"
At this moment, a middle-aged woman from the relatives walked up to Jiang Ning and looked her up and down.
"You're not really Lin Chu, are you?"
Jiang Ning remained silent.
The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes.
"Outsiders are not welcome here. Legally, you have no connection with the Lin family anymore and are not entitled to hear the old man's will."
The aunts and uncles started whispering and gossiping, even pointing and pointing at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled and calmly said, "Legally, apart from spouses, parents, and children... no one else is qualified to hear a will, such as people like you... Or are you deliberately brought here by Mr. Lin's lawyer?"
The middle-aged woman was rendered speechless by Jiang Ning's retort.
At this moment, Lin Yueheng came out of the house.
"Achu, you've come..."
"Minister Lin, please call me Jiang Ning."
The sense of alienation in Jiangning is palpable.
"What are you pretending for?"
"I really don't know why I called her here, what bad luck!"
"Could it be that the old man was cursed to death by her?"
"You know what, it's actually quite possible."
"Look at her, she didn't shed a single tear when her grandfather died. She's a cold-blooded, heartless, and ungrateful wretch."
"She's not even as good as Lin Wanrong. Even though she's just raising a granddaughter, look at how she's crying. It's heartbreaking to see her like that."
Jiang Ning didn't want to listen to these idle gossips anymore, so she followed Lin Yueheng into the house.
The atmosphere in the living room was oppressive, but it was understandable, given that the Lin family had just lost their pillar of strength, Lin Jingcheng!
When Lin Yueheng told Jiang Ning on the phone that Lin Jingcheng had passed away, Jiang Ning couldn't believe it for a moment.
When she last saw Lin Jingcheng at Lin Yanshan's private residence, she vaguely sensed that Lin Jingcheng was not in good health.
However, she did not expect Lin Jingcheng to pass away so soon.
When Lin Yueheng told her this, his tone was somewhat incredulous.
Especially since Lin Jingcheng received timely treatment after his sudden heart attack, he is not seriously injured. The doctor said that he just needs to recuperate in the hospital for a period of time.
But suddenly, Lin Jingcheng's heart condition worsened, and he could not be saved despite emergency treatment at the hospital.
Lin Yueheng told Jiang Ning over the phone that this might be fate.
It's fate.
The Lin family believes most in fate.
Especially Lin Jingcheng.
Jiang Ning was summoned because Lin Jingcheng's chief lawyer, Wang Jun, told Lin Yueheng that Jiang Ning's name was mentioned in the will.
This news was shocking to Jiangning.
It was even more shocking than hearing the news of Lin Jingcheng's death.
Jiang Ning never imagined, nor did she believe, that Lin Jingcheng would voluntarily divide her inheritance.
Since Lin Yueheng had said so, Jiang Ning had no choice but to go and find out what was going on.
She had no expectations for the will, and she didn't feel much sadness about Lin Jingcheng's death.
but……
It would be a lie to say that Jiang Ning was completely unmoved.
Deep down, she still carries the blood of the Lin family.
The person in the Lin family who brought her immense psychological trauma and directly influenced her future fate was her own grandfather, Lin Jingcheng.
Walking through the Lin family's spacious and luxurious old mansion, Jiang Ning first saw Chu Yao, and then Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong's eyes were swollen like peaches, and you could tell she was truly sad.
With her adopted granddaughter as a control group, it's no wonder people criticize her for being cold-blooded and heartless, especially since her biological granddaughter is the one in question.
Jiang Ning shrugged and sneered.
At that moment, the study door opened, and Wang Jun peeked out.
"Minister Lin Yueheng, Mr. Lin Fengyu, Mr. Lin Zhonghai, Ms. Lin Wanrong, Ms. Jiang Ning... please come to the study."
