Chapter 30: Quickly Wearing and Falling in Love with the Dark CEO (XII)
"Child, I am your ..." He hadn't finished his words when he fell straight down. The servant cried out in surprise and hurried to help him up.
I was quick to grab Lin Yehan's arm. His hands were cold and stiff, and he was obviously shocked by this sudden change.
"Call an ambulance!" I shouted at the servant, and together with Lin Yehan, I helped the old man onto the sofa.
The ambulance rushed over and the old man was taken to the hospital. Lin Yehan and I followed him all the way until the doctor pushed him into the emergency room. Only then did I feel a little relieved.
"Yehan, are you okay?" I looked at Lin Yehan worriedly. His face was pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said nothing, just staring at the door of the emergency room.
I didn't know how to comfort him, because I knew that his heart must be full of conflicts and struggles at this moment because of the sudden appearance of his biological father.
After a long wait, the doctor finally came out, took off his mask, and said in a heavy tone: "The patient suddenly had a heart attack. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time. He is now out of danger, but..."
"But what?" Lin Yehan stood up suddenly, speaking in a hurried tone.
The doctor looked at him and sighed: "But the patient is in very poor health and needs to rest well, and..."
He paused, as if trying to organize his words. "Also, the patient seems to have been greatly traumatized and his mental state is not very stable. You should be mentally prepared."
Lin Yehan's body swayed, and I quickly supported him. His voice was hoarse and low: "Thank you, doctor, I understand."
After settling the old man in the hospital, Mr. Lin called us to the corridor outside the ward.
"Yehan, this is..." I hesitated to speak because I was afraid he would be angry, but I thought I should find a topic to break the awkward atmosphere.
Lin Yehan took a deep breath and looked at the old man on the bed with complicated eyes: "He is my father, Lin Yuanshan."
I was very surprised. Wasn't he burned to death? How did he suddenly come back to life? I really didn't want to have another father-in-law whom I had never met in the lives of Lin Yehan and I. But he was Lin Yehan's biological father after all. What could I do? I could only accept him and not let Yehan be sad.
Grandpa Lin's face turned livid in an instant, and the air in the ward seemed to freeze. I noticed that Lin Yehan's hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his knuckles were white. After a long while, Grandpa Lin sighed: "It's good that cousin is back, it's good that he is back..."
Lin Yuanshan stayed in the hospital. Although he was physically weak, he seemed to be in good spirits. Every day he would pull Lin Yehan to reminisce about the past, and his words were full of guilt and regret. Although Lin Yehan appeared calm on the surface, I could see that he was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.
He was filled with complicated emotions towards this father who suddenly appeared. He longed for family affection, but was also worried about his motives. It was true that the family atmosphere of the top rich was different. How should I put it? It was that there was less pure love between family members.
I always felt that there was something strange in Lin Yuanshan's eyes, especially when he looked at Lin Yehan. That complicated look made me very uncomfortable. I felt that he didn't just want to acknowledge this son but also wanted to get something.
I asked the elders of the Lin Group about Lin Yuanshan indirectly, and they had mixed opinions about him. Some said that he was framed by a villain, which led to the crisis of the Lin family. Others said that he was addicted to gambling and ended up being abandoned by his friends and relatives.
"Yehan, do you think your father is... a little strange?"
Once, I finally couldn't help but ask Lin Yehan.
"Strange? What's strange about it?" Lin Yehan was reading a document and asked without raising his head.
"I can't explain it, it's just a feeling..." I hesitated, "The way he looks at you and the way he talks make me feel...uncomfortable."
Lin Yehan finally raised his head and looked at me with deep eyes: "What do you want to say?"
"I just think that it's better to be safe than sorry." I expressed my concern as tactfully as possible. "After all, he has been away from the Lin family for so many years. Who knows what he has been through and what kind of mood he is in when he returns?"
Lin Yehan was silent. I knew my words had touched him. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "I know what you are worried about. I will be careful."
However, some things cannot be avoided by being careful. Not long after Lin Yuanshan was hospitalized, Su Ran came to him. They met in the hospital garden. I hid behind a tree and clearly heard Su Ran say to Lin Yuanshan: "As long as you are willing to help me, I can help you get everything you want, including the Lin Group!"
My heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to my mind. I didn't expect that Su Ran would be bailed out by her father, and her father would rather give up all his assets to save her.
I hid behind a tree, my heart beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of my throat. Su Ran's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in my ears and also exploding the calm surface of the Lin family.
I hurried back to the ward, but found that Lin Yehan was gone. I anxiously asked the nurse and learned that Lin Yuanshan's condition suddenly worsened and Lin Yehan went to the doctor to ask for detailed treatment. I was extremely anxious, but I could do nothing and could only wait anxiously outside the ward.
Time passed by, and my heart became heavier. Finally, Lin Yehan came back. His face was terribly gloomy, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line. Before I could ask, he grabbed my hand and said in a low and hurried voice: "Come with me."
He dragged me along all the way until we reached the rooftop of the hospital. The biting cold wind hurt my cheeks, and I looked up at him, only to see deep fatigue and pain in his deep eyes.
"Zi'ang, I..." He seemed to be hesitant about what to say.
"I know." I interrupted him and gently held his hand. "I know everything."
He looked at me in surprise. I took a deep breath and told him about Su Ran and Lin Yuanshan's meeting in the garden. His face turned even uglier and his fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.
"I should have thought of it earlier." He gritted his teeth and said, "He is not truly repentant at all. He came back just for revenge and turned the peaceful life into a mess again! But now I have a daughter and a lover."
I looked at him with heartache. I knew that his heart must be filled with pain and struggle at this moment. He had always longed for recognition and affection from his family, but he never expected that this would be the result.
"Don't worry, I'll help you," I said firmly. "We'll face it together."
He looked at me, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and then turned into a determined light: "Yes, we will face it together. I will not let them succeed. I want to protect my family and my company!"
In the next few days, we seemed to be in the eye of a storm. Lin Yuanshan's return caused a huge uproar in the Lin family, with doubts, accusations, and insults all coming at Lin Yehan.
Lin Yuwei added fuel to the fire and spread rumors everywhere in an attempt to shake Lin Yehan's position in the company.
I felt so distressed when I saw Lin Yehan's increasingly thin face. He was struggling to handle the company's affairs and deal with the pressure within the family. I could only accompany him as much as I could and share some of his burden.
Fortunately, we still have allies. My younger brother, Feng Chenyang, although he usually looks cynical, shows amazing business acumen and courage at critical moments. He used his connections in the financial circle to run around and help the Lin Group stabilize its stock price.
Shen Yichen also put down his work in the company and used his professional knowledge to analyze the financial situation of the Lin Group, find loopholes, and develop response strategies.
In a crucial business negotiation, Lin Yehan and Lin Yuanshan face off. The other party's conditions are very tempting. As long as Lin Yehan gives up the control of the Lin Group, he can get a large sum of money and rebuild their "father and son" relationship with Lin Yuanshan.
"You are my son. You will still be yours after I die, but now I need this position and the family's rights."
I looked at Lin Yehan nervously. His face was calm and there was no emotion. Just when I thought he would compromise, he suddenly smiled, and his smile was a little cold: "I finally know what you want."
