If it was just an unfamiliar phone call, Shi Yalin would have thought it was a business rival trying to annoy them.
If Lin Xiaoman had only mentioned it, Shi Yalin would have just thought it was a nonsense dream.
But unfortunately, both of them happened, and it was difficult for Shi Yalin to ignore them.
Because of Lu Yuyin's call, Shi Yalin took it seriously. She preferred to believe it to be true. After a few words with Lin Xiaoman, she said, "I'll ask your uncle to help us check it out first."
"Mom, there are so many people, how can I check?"
"That mysterious person said that Lin Rou and Lin Wen are in the Imperial City. Lin Rou works at the Mikasa Road branch of Tongshun Land Transport Company in District 7, and Lin Wen has a heart condition. We can check with all the major heart specialist hospitals. It'll take some effort, but we can still find the cause."
Unexpectedly, Shi Yalin asked so clearly. Lin Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Mom, what if it turns out to be true?"
"What should I do?" Shi Yalin smiled bitterly, her expression a little complicated. "Ah, actually, I haven't thought it through yet. My mind is in a mess. I was planning to go for a beauty treatment with Mrs. He this afternoon, but suddenly I received such a call. I was stunned, you know?"
Although there was no passionate love, after all, after more than 20 years of marriage, the problem suddenly came. Shi Yalin was still a little melancholy.
But despite the melancholy and sadness, reason ultimately prevailed.
"Yeah, I understand." Lin Xiaoman nodded quickly. They have been relatives for more than 20 years, and their feelings are not fake, so she actually hasn't figured out what to do.
Shi Yalin sighed again, then continued, perking up. "If that Lin Wen is real, either his heart disease is incurable, or he's a hopeless case. Otherwise, Lin Tiancheng will definitely make some moves in secret. 'The son follows in his father's footsteps' is deeply ingrained. So we must make plans early. If it's all true, and his illegitimate daughter is so vicious, we should take action first..."
"Wait, vicious?" Lin Xiaoman interrupted, asking, "What did that person say? That Lin Rou hit me and killed me with her car?"
"Yes, wasn't it her who deliberately hit you with her car..." Shi Yalin didn't say the word "death" because she was hesitant.
"No, that's not what happened in my dream. She ran a red light and hit another car, which hurt me. Then I became a vegetable, and then Lin Tiancheng pulled out my oxygen tank!" Lin Xiaoman corrected and complained.
"This..." Shi Yalin's expression was complicated and hesitant. After a long while, she said, "That's not the case. After all, we've been father and daughter for more than 20 years. Lin Tiancheng wouldn't be so heartless, right? After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Although he's a bit cunning, he wouldn't be so vicious."
"Oh, the doctor said I'm brain dead."
"Isn't brain death the same as death?"
"It seems so. And at that time, Lin Rou had a boyfriend who was very rich. His family assets were worth hundreds of billions. To us, it was a huge fortune."
"Ah." Shi Yalin suddenly thought, "Could it be Ning Mufeng?"
"I don't know. The dream was a bit chaotic and I forgot." Lin Xiaoman didn't say anything because she was not sure. She was just afraid that Lu Yuyan had successfully taken the position.
"If that's the case, and you're already in that state, dying sooner or later is all the same. Pulling out the oxygen tank seems like something he would do. But how do you know? Aren't you brain dead? Isn't brain death just like being asleep, unaware of anything?" Shi Yalin still found it unbelievable. Really, if she wasn't experiencing it right now, she wouldn't have believed it at all.
Chang'e: Damn, it feels like a dream!
"That woman said that you were hit and killed by Lin Rou. Did you remember it wrongly?"
Rather than believing that her daughter was murdered by her husband, Shi Yalin would rather believe that her daughter was retaliated by her vicious half-sister.
Lin Xiaoman spread her hands with a frown on her face. "How would I know? Didn't I tell you it was just a dream? How could I know what happened in the dream? Mom, now is not the time to dwell on these things. What we should do now is...?"
"Wow..." Shi Yalin rubbed her head in frustration. "I'll think of an excuse. I'll talk to your uncle in a couple of days and ask him to secretly hire a detective to investigate and verify the authenticity of Lin Rou and Lin Wen. Maybe they're fake!"
Deep down, Shi Yalin actually hoped that it was all fake. After all, she was already old, and she didn't want any waves in her life. She would rather go through the rest of her life peacefully.
"What if it's true?" Lin Xiaoman asked back.
"If it's true... keep it from him. We won't make a sound. It's best if he doesn't know. You work hard and seize control of the company. Then, even if Lin Tiancheng wants to leave his property to his son, he won't be able to stop him. Shilin will still be yours!"
"What if he knew?"
"That's because we seized the initiative. We acted in advance, divorced them, and passed the blame to the person at fault, so we could get more property. Your father, that old man, is scheming. He knew he had a son, so he would definitely be secretly plotting and paving the way for this son to transfer the family property. He's dreaming. What belongs to us, he can't even think of leaving a penny to his illegitimate son! Then we'll make a concerted effort, join forces with your uncles, and bankrupt them. When he's old, destitute, and lying in the hospital with senile diseases, you can remove his oxygen tank!"
"Mom, this is a really good idea." Lin Xiaoman smiled with a fake smile, "Can you be serious?"
"I'm being serious!" Shi Yalin retorted, then changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, I'm staying at your place tonight. Give me the key first, and I'll go pack up."
