Lin Tingyue controlled her inner fear and slowly walked forward.
Her mother had been hiding her illness from her. Occasionally when she came home, she would hear from the maid that her mother was sick, but she thought it was just a minor illness like a cold and didn't take it seriously, continuing to play outside.
Because she and her mother didn't grow up together and didn't have much of a relationship, they often argued when they talked. So now she tries to avoid going home and seeing her mother.
For her, the fact that the elderly man was sick and no longer lived at home actually brought her a sense of relief.
In addition, she has already bought a villa she likes and plans to ask her mother to let her move out and live alone after a while.
Now that we're at the hospital, we've learned that my mother is so seriously ill and is on her deathbed.
As Lin Tingyue got closer, she realized that her seriously ill mother not only sounded like her father, but even her dying appearance was strikingly similar to his. Her face was full of wrinkles, her hair was completely white, and she exuded a putrid aura of death. Her eyes and teeth were yellow, and her hands, resting on her knees, trembled uncontrollably like fallen leaves on water.
"Mom, how did you get so sick? I had no idea!" Lin Tingyue's eyes reddened. If it weren't for her mother's help, she wouldn't be where she is today. This was the only person who had ever loved her. A wave of guilt finally washed over her.
Zhang Yingzi smiled slightly and said to everyone else, "Come here, everyone. I'm not very strong anymore, and my voice is too soft. I'm afraid you're standing too far away and won't be able to hear what I'm saying."
Lin Tingfeng, Lin Tingxuan, and Cai Wenchuan walked forward.
Zhang Yingzi looked at Cai Wenchuan and extended her hand. Cai Wenchuan stepped forward and extended his hand as well, shaking her hand tightly.
Tears streamed down Zhang Yingzi's face as she said to Cai Wenchuan, "Wenchuan, the person I've wronged the most in my life is actually you."
Everyone was stunned. Cai Wenchuan's eyes reddened. He knew what Madam Zi meant. She meant that she had started plotting against him when he was young and naive.
She had always treated him as a pawn, constantly using him.
But for some reason, he didn't really blame Madam Zi. Perhaps it was because he had always done everything willingly since he was a child, but now that he was sober, he didn't want to anymore.
Cai Wenchuan half-squatted in front of Madam Zi.
Zhang Yingzi looked at Lin Tingfeng again and smiled at him, "When will this cycle of revenge end? Ever since you came to see me last time and told me your girlfriend was kidnapped, I've had nightmares every night, dreaming that your father comes to me and begs me to let you go. My illness has gotten worse and worse, and I had to be hospitalized. Suddenly, it deteriorated all the way down, and then I was going to die. I think it's probably because your father is thinking of me over there and wants to come looking for me. This is my retribution. Tingfeng, I'm sorry to you too. Let's resolve our hatred before I die. After I die, I will give you all the shares of the Lin Group."
Lin Tingfeng was quite surprised, but after a long period of shock, he said gratefully, "Thank you." Madam Zi was right; revenge only leads to more revenge. She wanted to go to peace, so he granted her wish.
Lin Tingyue and Lin Tingxuan cried out, "No, Mom, no, he'll do this to us!" Their faces were filled with fear.
At this moment, Cai Wenchuan also said, "Madam, I also plan to transfer my shares to Lin Tingfeng. The Lin Group was originally built up by him. We are not cut out for business, so handing the Lin Group over to him is the best arrangement. After all, it is the culmination of Old Master Lin's life's work. Only by handing it over to Tingfeng will it not be destroyed."
Zhang Yingzi nodded, looked at Cai Wenchuan, tears welling in her eyes, and sighed softly, saying, "Wenchuan, Xiaoyue is not good enough for you. I know how you two are doing after your marriage, so if you want a divorce, then go ahead and get one. I support you."
Cai Wenchuan nodded, tears streaming down his face.
It felt like all my grievances had finally found an outlet.
Lin Tingyue screamed, "Mom, you're getting senile! You can't arrange things like this!" She protested, waving her fists, but no one listened to her.
Zhang Yingzi looked at Lin Tingfeng, pointed to her two children, Lin Tingyue and Lin Tingxuan, and said to him, "Tingfeng, I have only one request: please let them go. I didn't believe you before, but after experiencing so much, I've found that you've changed a lot, so now I believe you."
Lin Tingfeng was somewhat touched; this trust made him feel gratified. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will take good care of them."
After giving these instructions, Zhang Yingzi looked around with satisfaction, then beckoned Lin Tingyue and Lin Tingxuan over. She said to them, "Tingyue, you need to change your temperament and learn from Xiaoyu. Otherwise, you may never find happiness in your life. Tingxuan, you don't have the talent for business, so don't be ambitious. Just find a job and live a stable life."
Seeing that their mother was determined to do so, Lin Tingyue and Lin Tingxuan were powerless to change her mind.
After explaining everything, Zhang Yingzi looked at Cai Wenchuan and pleaded with him, "Little Wenchuan, can you hold me? I want to die in your arms. In my life, I have met countless men, and every time I was with them, I treated them sincerely. But the only one who has never hurt me is you, my little friend."
Cai Wenchuan listened with tears streaming down his face. He nodded through his tears, stood up, and hugged Zhang Yingzi, who was as thin as a little bird, in his arms. He sat down in the chair and looked at Madam Zi.
The beautiful, enchanting, arrogant, and spirited Lady Zi was gone. In her place was an old woman who was so thin she was practically skin and bones. She was on her last breath, her chest heaving violently and laboriously, and the light in her eyes was slowly fading away.
However, realizing that she was in Cai Wenchuan's arms at the last moment, a smile appeared on her face, and she softly said, "Life is not worth it." Then she closed her eyes and never woke up again.
