Chapter 423 A Deal Was Made
Until one day, Lin Wanrong accidentally saw Jiang Ning get into a very luxurious and large car.
In her old neighborhood, cars are not uncommon, but Lin Wanrong has rarely seen large and impressive luxury cars.
She stood there silently watching Jiang Ning get into the car, and then the car sped away and disappeared from her sight.
Later, when Lin Wanrong saw Jiang Ning again, she couldn't help but ask him, "Whose car is that?"
When she asked the question, she was actually thinking that the car must belong to a relative or friend in Jiangning.
It definitely can't be from the Jiangning family.
"Oh...that's my grandfather's car."
"Your grandfather?"
Lin Wanrong was taken aback.
"Um……"
Jiang Ning nodded, but seemed hesitant to speak.
Lin Wanrong was very curious, so she immediately took Jiang Ning's hand and subtly inquired about Jiang Ning's grandfather's situation.
"My grandfather... doesn't like me..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, large tears rolled down Jiang Ning's cheeks.
Lin Wanrong panicked and immediately tried to comfort Jiang Ning.
The two children climbed onto the climbing frame and chatted in the deserted park.
Jiang Ning's life in the Lin family was painful and oppressive at that time. She was always on edge and cautious, but Lin Jingcheng would still find fault with her. She was either punished by being made to stand in the cold water or beaten with a feather duster.
So now, Jiang Ning is very happy and excited to have a friend like Lin Wanrong who confides in her and listens to her. She poured out all her experiences in the Lin family to Lin Wanrong.
Now, Lin Wanrong finally understood—
It turns out that Jiang Ning was not an ordinary child at all.
She is different from me.
They are very different from me.
The Lin family lives in this old neighborhood simply because they want to be closer to their warehouse.
They own other properties in other neighborhoods.
Lin Wanrong once thought that Jiang Ning also had a father who liked to drink and gamble, and that his family was as poor as hers.
It turned out that Jiang Ning's family owned a company, and his grandparents, parents, and other family members were all wealthy.
"However... my grandfather is very superstitious. He doesn't like me. He says I have bad luck and am a jinx..."
As Jiang Ning spoke, he sniffled, his eyes turning as red as a rabbit's.
"...Believe in fate?"
Lin Wanrong's big, dark eyes darted around twice.
"Are there still people who believe in fate these days?!"
“My grandfather was one of them… He knew a fortune teller, we all called him Master Huang. Master Huang could calculate people’s birth dates and times, and it was he who told my grandfather that I was destined to bring misfortune to the Lin family, which is why my grandfather disliked me…”
As he spoke, Jiang Ning let out a heavy sigh.
"What if it's someone destined to bring prosperity to the Lin family? Would your grandfather like that?"
At that time, Jiang Ning was still young and did not realize that there was any deeper meaning in Lin Wanrong's question to her.
"I think they'll like it! My grandma told me that whether an employee in my grandpa's company can be promoted to a leadership position depends on their birth date and time!"
After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Lin Wanrong's eyes lit up like light bulbs.
She had a strange feeling that she would get through the Lin family—
A meteoric rise.
Although Lin Wanrong was young at the time, she had a lot of clever ideas and was very mature.
She is not like Jiang Ning.
She wasn't that naive.
If she doesn't work harder, she'll never escape her terrible family of origin.
In the past, when her mother was beaten by her father, she would feel very sorry and sympathetic towards her mother.
But as time went on and she grew older, she became increasingly disgusted with her father, who was an alcoholic and a gambler, and her mother, who could only cry and whine, and who dared not divorce her, dared not resist, and was incapable of protecting her.
Lin Wanrong had had enough of this kind of life.
So she was always hanging out with Jiang Ning.
Even though Jiang Ning doesn't go out to play often.
Over time, Jiang Ning's parents also got to know her.
One day, she finally met Jiangning's grandfather—
Lin Jingcheng.
In Lin Wanrong's memory, Lin Jingcheng looked very dignified.
The person who was with Lin Jingcheng at that time was Master Huang.
Lin Jingcheng seemed to be in a good mood that day, perhaps because the business deal had been finalized.
Lin Wanrong was very fortunate that even God was on her side.
She greeted Lin Jingcheng politely and proactively, and Lin Jingcheng gave her a slight smile.
Lin Wanrong's intuition told her that she must have left a good impression on Lin Jingcheng.
Later, Jiang Ning also said to her, "Even my grandfather has never smiled at me like that. You're amazing..."
In this way, Lin Wanrong frequently gained favor with the Lin family.
Compared to the timid and hesitant Jiang Ning, she appeared poised and confident.
She never mentioned her terrible family background to the Lin family.
In her view, gaining sympathy was not an effective tactic against the Lin family.
The Lin family are business people who only pursue profits.
Therefore, Lin Wanrong took a desperate gamble and found an opportunity to trick her mother out of her savings book.
Anyway, her family's pitiful savings will be squandered by her father sooner or later.
Rather than doing that, why not give it to her to rewrite her own destiny?
At that time, Lin Wanrong's family had 50,000 yuan in savings. She took this money and went to Master Huang.
She asked for nothing more than for Master Huang to reveal her birth date and time to Lin Jingcheng, so that it would benefit the Lin family.
However, Master Huang refused outright.
It was only at that moment that Lin Wanrong realized that her family's entire savings—fifty thousand yuan—was not even enough for a single meal of drinks in Master Huang's eyes.
However, Master Huang made other demands of Lin Wanrong.
After much hesitation, Lin Wanrong finally agreed to that condition.
And she successfully got what she wanted—
Lin Jingcheng's special regard for him.
During the time Jiang Ning was detained in the juvenile detention center, Lin Wanrong was like Lin Jingcheng's own granddaughter. In the eyes of Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao, she was better than Jiang Ning, who was becoming increasingly rebellious and disobedient.
From then on, Lin Wanrong never went back to her own home again; she moved into the Lin family's residence instead.
Coincidentally, during the time she lived in the Lin family's home, the Lin family's business did indeed flourish.
Sometimes, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but think, perhaps—
She's just lucky.
She was destined to be a benefactor to the Lin family.
After being released from the juvenile detention center in Jiangning, Lin Wanrong moved to the Lin family's villa in the suburbs.
On the surface, she had no interaction with Jiang Ning.
But in private, she made another deal with Master Huang.
She intends to use Master Huang's authority in Lin Jingcheng's eyes to make Jiang Ning completely lose her status as the Lin family's daughter.
"Master Huang said that if she stays in the Lin family, it will cause our Lin family to decline... Yue Heng, didn't Chu Yao's distant relative mention that he has a friend who has never had children and whose husband is gone... I think her surname is Jiang?"
Finally, Lin Jingcheng listened to Master Huang's advice and proposed to Lin Yueheng and Chu Yao that Jiang Ning be adopted by someone else.
As a result, the position of Lin family's daughter became vacant.
