Chapter 69 Parting on bad terms
Lin Hongcai had a stern face, and his tone and expression were cold and emotionless.
He was an easygoing and humorous person, and rarely acted like this. Qi Jin felt very uncomfortable seeing her husband like this, and gently stroked his back to comfort him. At this time, she could not express her opinions freely.
After all, she was a complete stranger to the old man in front of her, and she didn't know about their previous relationship, so she just stayed quietly by her husband's side to prevent the situation from getting worse.
Lin Weiguo was so surprised to see his son so resistant and indifferent when they met again after not seeing him for decades. He sighed, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his tears.
"I know you hate me, but I had my own reasons for being in love with you back then. After all, so many years have passed, and we are still father and son. I also contacted Xiaoyi, he's a smart kid, I'm very..."
"I'm warning you, don't bother my son again!"
Lin Hongcai couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly shouted loudly, clenching his fists tightly.
The old man's bodyguards and driver came over.
"No."
Lin Weiguo waved his hand, and the two followers returned to their seats.
There was a trace of sadness on his wrinkled face. He looked at his son opposite him and smiled bitterly.
"Hongcai, how can I make you believe that I have no ill will towards you, whether it's you or Xiaoyi, I have no bad intentions at all."
"As you can see, I'm old and in poor health. I left you and your mother and went south alone to make a living, hoping to return home after I became famous and bring you home to live a good life."
"But it's really not that easy. Business is like a battlefield, that's for sure. The people you work with may smile in front of you but be treacherous behind your back. I've been framed and nearly died several times. My enemies also see me as a thorn in their side. I don't dare go back to look for you. I'm afraid those people will know about your relationship and harm you."
"Everyone thought I was alone and had no worries, so I had no weaknesses that they could exploit. They had no other options except to deal with me."
Lin Hongcai spoke in a cold tone.
"You haven't remarried in all these years?"
Lin Weiguo shook his head and smiled.
"No, later on, I established myself and had my own position. No one could easily frame me anymore, so I returned to my hometown to look for you and your mother. But you were no longer there. That's when I realized your mother was no longer alive."
Two lines of clear tears flowed from Lin Weiguo's eyes, and he felt very lonely.
"I'm sorry to your mother and to you all."
"Haha, what's the point of saying this now? My mom is gone. She waited for you her whole life, but she never saw you come back until she died. Why are you coming back now? Just because you're old and have no one to rely on, you miss having a son in this world?"
Lin Weiguo sighed.
"I know I don't have many years left to live. I've built up a lot of businesses over the years, and I want to give them to you two and Xiaoyi to manage as a small compensation to you."
Lin Hongcai stood up and said coldly.
"No need! You left on your own initiative and came back on your own initiative. Do you think money can compensate you?! We don't need it. Please don't bother us in the future. And Xiaoyi, his studies are his top priority right now. If you contact him again at this time, I won't let you go!"
After saying that, Lin Hongcai quickened his pace and walked out of the coffee shop. Qi Jin also stood up and followed him. Glancing at the old man opposite who was looking in pain, Qi Jin nodded apologetically, sat down again, took out a small wooden box from his bag and pushed it in front of Lin Weiguo.
When Lin Weiguo saw the small wooden box, his eyes widened in surprise.
