Extra: I finally have a father
The next morning, just after nine o'clock, Lin Zhou and Tian Xin appeared in the chairman's office of "Lin Group".
He hasn't been here since Zhou Ruilian transferred Lin Zhou's shares from the company.
Tian Xin comes here often.
Seeing them coming, Lin Zhenhua was a little surprised: "Why don't you go home and come here?"
The question was unfamiliar, so Lin Zhou didn't hide his feelings and went straight to the point: "I have something to discuss with you."
Listen, the tone of the father and son is colder than the other.
Tian Xin was afraid that the two would start arguing again, so she quickly interrupted: "Dad, we want to..."
"I'm planning to develop a new business, but I'm short on cash, so I'd like to borrow some money from you."
Lin Zhou interrupted her and signaled her with his eyes to stop talking.
Okay! Then I won’t tell you.
Tian Xin turned around and sat down on the sofa, concentrating on reading the newspaper.
Lin Zhenhua probably didn't expect his son to be so direct and come to him to borrow money. A look of secret joy appeared on his face.
But he remained silent and asked in a serious tone, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry about that. I'll lend you 3 million for one year. The interest rate is one percentage point higher than the bank. What do you think?"
His tone didn't sound like he was borrowing money, but rather like he was robbing. Tian Xin frowned after hearing this, waiting for Lin Zhenhua to lose his temper.
But surprisingly, after a minute, Lin Zhenhua didn't get angry.
He didn't say anything and just made two phone calls.
One is to the finance department to check how much liquid funds the company has?
Another person called his personal assistant and asked her to transfer two million from her personal account to Lin Zhou.
After doing all this, he threw a business card to Lin Zhou: "This is my phone number. If you have any questions in the future, just call me directly. No need to come here."
Lin Zhou didn't take the business card and replied, "I have one."
Then he stopped talking, turned around and told Tian Xin to leave.
"Are you here today just to borrow money? Don't you have anything to tell me?" Lin Zhenhua asked him from behind.
Lin Zhou was stunned for a second, then replied, "Take care of yourself."
"Do you really hate me so much? It's been so long since I came back, and you haven't even smiled at me. What did I do to make you hate me so much?"
"You're not wrong, it's mine." Lin Zhou turned around and continued to look at Lin Zhenhua with that indifferent look: "You treated my illness and arranged our wedding. I thank you."
"What else?"
"Also, from now on, Tian Xin and I will be filial to you and help you take care of your brother. But I beg you, please don't bother my mother and our lives anymore."
Tian Xin couldn't stand it anymore.
Lin Zhenhua had been very kind to her and Lin Zhou for so long. She didn't have a father, and deep down she longed for his love. Ever since she agreed to use that plan to develop her real estate business, Lin Zhenhua had treated her like his own daughter.
Although she knew that it was based on certain circumstances, she was still grateful and kept calling him "Dad, Dad" after they got married. Others didn't understand why she called him so intimately, but only Lin Zhou knew.
She didn't want any more estrangement between them, and she didn't want Lin Zhou to hold a grudge against her because of what happened before. She wanted the family to live together in harmony.
"Lin Zhou, you...speak nicely to Dad. He doesn't owe us anything."
"Yes, he doesn't owe me anything." Lin Zhou turned his back to her, his voice so deep that it was almost inaudible: "But some things happened and they are done. Now that I know about it, I can't just pretend nothing happened."
"Are you still mad at me for making things difficult for Tian Xin? I told you it was a situation we had to face. How did the Liang family…"
"No matter what, you shouldn't take advantage of her."
Lin Zhou turned around, looked at Lin Zhenhua's face, and spoke word by word: "Whether it's for business or for me, you should never, ever use her again and again, the Demonstration Village, the Liang Group, and that plan. Dad—"
"You are too calculating..."
"Lin Zhou, don't say that."
Tian Xin was a little panicked. After saying that, Lin Zhou hurried to comfort Lin Zhenhua: "Dad, don't take it to heart. He...he didn't mean it. He just..."
"He cares about you too much, so he doesn't even care about his own father." Lin Zhenhua laughed, and the expression on his face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.
He smiled at Tian Xin and Lin Zhou, a rare fatherly expression on his face: "Girl, son. Dad did something wrong before, and Dad apologizes to you."
“…”
“No, no, no, no need…”
"Yes." Lin Zhenhua, uncharacteristically, walked over and patted Lin Zhou on the shoulder. He smiled again and said to him, "Dad apologizes to you. From now on, this company will be entrusted to you two. Do whatever you want to do. If you need enough money, just let me know. Dad will... have your back."
After he finished speaking, the finance department called and he went to answer it.
Then he said, "Go ahead. The finance department will transfer the money to you this afternoon. You don't have to pay it back, and you won't have to pay interest. The other 2 million is Daddy's gift to Tian Xin as compensation for the injustice she suffered before. Don't bother with it anymore, okay!"
“…”
"dad……"
"Go ahead." Lin Zhenhua waved at the two of them. "Go early and come back early. Come to my house for dinner tonight. I've invited your mother to come along..."
"Okay, we will be there. Goodbye, Dad."
Without waiting for Lin Zhou to react, Tian Xin pulled him out of the office.
When they got downstairs, Lin Zhou couldn't hold it in any longer. He didn't even get in the car. He just sat down by the flower bed and couldn't stop laughing: "You... your acting is too good. It's a pity that you are not an actor."
"You also said that I prepared so many lines but didn't use them, and you said all the words by yourself."
"Who knew he would suddenly be so generous this time?"
Lin Zhou's expression changed, and he said calmly, "He never admitted he was wrong before..."
"People change. You are already over 40 years old, and you must have experienced some emotions! Let me ask you, did Dad ever make things difficult for us in those years?" Tian Xin asked him.
"Not really."
"That's it. Dad is still a good dad. We should be grateful."
"grateful?"
Lin Zhou sneered: "You really don't blame him at all?"
"That's a little bit." Tian Xin said, "But that was before you woke up. Although I'm not sure if he will make things difficult for me again today, and the contract I prepared is not used. But, I finally have a father!"
“…”
Lin Zhou turned his head almost instantly and looked at her, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
She understood and replied with a smile: "Yes, you heard me right. I really want to get my father's approval, and I really want to be loved by my father. I forgot all that grudge as early as when you got on the plane."
With such a clear conscience like her, what else could Lin Zhou say?
"Well, I was petty. From now on, we should be filial to him."
"That's right!" Tian Xin took his arm and said with a smile, "Let's go. While it's still early, let's quickly take care of those things, otherwise we won't be able to report to County Magistrate Liu in time."
