Chapter 334 Unfit to be Parents
"Lin Fengyu and Lin Zhonghai...they were originally major shareholders in Lin's Group..."
Jiang Ning walked beside Lin Yueheng, listening silently.
From those opening words, she already understood what was going on.
"You think they were too calm when it came to the will?"
"Um……"
Lin Yueheng nodded.
His gaze fell on Jiang Ning.
Once upon a time, the little girl who deliberately permed her grandmother's gray hair and smoked during her rebellious phase, trying to make Lin Jingcheng have a heart attack, has grown into a capable and independent elite.
"Your insight is quite good."
Jiang Ning smiled at Lin Yueheng's praise, but didn't feel particularly happy.
"They are both quite old, and whether in politics or business, they should be at the age to retire. Perhaps they had already anticipated that Mr. Lin's will would include such an arrangement."
Jiang Ning did not call Lin Jingcheng "Grandpa." Lin Yueheng knew that Jiang Ning had never forgiven Lin Jingcheng, even though Lin Jingcheng was now dead.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense..."
Lin Yueheng had considered this possibility, but after hearing the will, many questions still arose in his mind—
And unease.
This is more of an intuition, a judgment based on feeling rather than reason.
Even if Lin Fengyu and Lin Zhonghai had long wanted to retire with the money, and even if they had long guessed that Lin Jingcheng's will would arrange things for them this way.
However, Lin Fengyu and Lin Zhonghai remained overly calm when faced with the will's stipulation that all of the Lin family's businesses be handed over to Lin Wanrong for management.
Lin Yueheng himself couldn't understand how his father could not even leave him the management rights of a company.
Even though Lin Wanrong was the successor her father wanted to groom, she was still his adopted granddaughter.
Moreover, before this will appeared, every project that Lin Jingcheng handed over to Lin Wanrong seemed to be Lin Wanrong's responsibility, but in fact, he controlled it behind the scenes.
Lin Wanrong was not lacking in talent, nor was she without business acumen.
However, whether this ability can be used to manage the massive Lin family remains to be seen.
To date, Lin Wanrong has not actually completed any projects independently, let alone made any major business decisions.
Lin Yueheng didn't believe that under these circumstances, Lin Jingcheng would rashly hand over all of his companies to Lin Wanrong to manage.
He knew better than anyone else that for Lin Jingcheng, the development and expansion of the Lin family's business empire was of paramount importance.
Therefore, rashly handing over the entire Lin family to Lin Wanrong was a decision that was very inconsistent with Lin Jingcheng's style of doing things.
Jiang Ning gazed at Lin Yueheng's preoccupied face.
Actually, Lin Jingcheng's will was somewhat unexpected for her.
After all, no matter how much Lin Jingcheng believed in fate or how much he liked Lin Wanrong, Lin Wanrong was still his grandchild.
Lin Yueheng was his own son, whom he had personally raised. There was no reason why he wouldn't give Lin Yueheng any of the companies under the Lin Group. Even though Lin Yueheng held the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Country C, before this will, the Lin Group was registered under Chu Yao's name.
Lin Jingcheng could simply continue to register the companies under Chu Yao's name, with Lin Yueheng as the actual controlling shareholder.
However, Lin Jingcheng chose to entrust the Lin family's fate to Lin Wanrong alone in his will.
However surprised, Jiang Ning would not delve into Lin Jingcheng's intentions, nor would he dwell on Lin Jingcheng's will.
After all, those belonged to the Lin family.
But she was no longer a member of the Lin family.
“Achu…”
Lin Yueheng called Jiang Ning by the wrong name again, but this time, Jiang Ning did not correct him.
"All along... I've known we've wronged you..."
Jiang Ning gave a soft, cold laugh.
Lin Yueheng clenched his fist tighter and tighter.
"No...it hasn't always been like this...maybe it's because I'm getting older, and people start to feel nostalgic when they get old...your mother and I are like that...we miss you more and more...we feel more and more that we were so immature when we were young, unworthy of being parents, and owe you so much..."
Jiang Ning sighed.
"Get to the point! I don't want to hear any more of those nagging apologies."
Jiang Ning's face showed no anger or disappointment, but rather a faint smile.
This expression only made Lin Yueheng feel more hurt and heartbroken.
"Your mother and I want to make it up to you... We never thought your grandfather's will would be like this..."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It's mockery.
"When his daughter-in-law was having a cesarean section, Mr. Lin once told others that the child should not have been born at all."
"He could make his own granddaughter, who was not even 6 years old, stand barefoot in the waterway in the dead of winter and be beaten."
"He also blamed his grandmother's death on this innocent child, using it as an excuse to send her to a juvenile detention center."
"Even after the child suffered both mental and physical torment, he was still not satisfied. In the end, he kicked her out of his home, leaving her without a name and without parents..."
As Jiang Ning spoke with unwavering resolve, Lin Yueheng's face grew increasingly pale.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Chu, I'm really sorry..."
Jiang Ning seemed to see tears in Lin Yueheng's eyes.
She turned her head to one side and gazed at the vast sea.
The seawater wasn't as blue as she had imagined.
It could be because the sky has turned cloudy.
“You shouldn’t have had any expectations of Mr. Lin’s will in the first place… In fact, I’m already quite flattered that he would entrust the charitable foundation to me.”
Lin Yueheng knew that Jiang Ning was mocking himself.
Everyone knows that charitable foundations are hardly assets.
Jiang Ning only received the charitable foundation, and it was more like he was inexplicably tied to Lin's employees and had to maintain the daily operation of the charitable foundation.
“Achu, no matter what you think of your mother and me... we both sincerely want to make it up to you. If you have any requests, just let us know.”
Jiang Ning turned to look at Lin Yueheng.
She knew that Lin Yueheng was not deceiving or placating her.
Lin Yueheng truly regrets what happened back then and sincerely wants to make it up to her.
But……
Her childhood was ruined.
Her trauma has left its mark.
These things cannot be undone by regret or compensation.
Jiang Ning remained silent for a long time.
"There is something I do have..."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Lin Yueheng's eyes immediately lit up.
"What is it? Tell me quickly."
"There's an assassin from the Dragon Fang Gang in the US... I don't know his real name or alias, he's called Joker..."
Jiang Ning observed Lin Yueheng's reaction when he said this.
Judging from Lin Yueheng's expression, he probably knows nothing about the Dragon Fang Gang.
“He has done a lot of things to me… especially a few days ago, he sniped at me from a distance…”
"What?!"
Lin Yueheng was shocked.
"So I hope Minister Lin can use your power... to help me capture him."
As darkness fell, it felt as if the sun had already set, even though it was still daytime.
Jiang Ning was the only one left walking on the beach.
Lin Jingcheng has just passed away, and his will has only just been published. There are still many things in the Lin family that Lin Yueheng needs to go back and handle.
As Jiang Ning left a trail of lonely footprints on the beach, a man walked towards her from ahead.
He was unusually not wearing a suit jacket, but only a white shirt without a tie. The top three buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing his beautifully shaped collarbone.
