Chapter 99 Company Comfort
Looking at Gu Huaichen's back as he walked away, Lin Youning was really a little angry.
But I also felt like laughing. This person... obviously cares about me, but why is he so stubborn?
Lin Youning snorted in her heart and temporarily ignored the fact that he said she was not good at reading and comprehension.
When she reached the stairs, Lin Youning raised her eyes, suppressed the smile on her face, and walked upstairs.
"Mom." Lin Youning looked at Zhao Tinglan who had just finished washing up, with a calm expression, "Let's go downstairs to eat."
Zhao Tinglan hummed, "Ningning."
She walked up to Lin Youning, her face not looking very good, "Sorry."
Lin Youning: "Say this to yourself."
Zhao Tinglan had nothing to apologize for; she was only sorry for herself.
Zhao Tinglan was stunned.
This is the first time that the three of us have dinner together.
Gu Huaichen was a man of few words, and Lin Youning was in a bad mood and didn't say anything either.
Zhao Tinglan was naturally silent as well.
After finishing his meal, Gu Huaichen prepared to go back to the company.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, Zhao Tinglan called him, "Huaichen."
Gu Huaichen tilted his head, "Mom."
Zhao Tinglan pursed her lips and replied awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you and Ning Ning."
"What are you talking about, Mom?" Gu Huaichen said calmly, "We are a family, it doesn't matter whether it's troublesome or not."
He paused, glanced at the eavesdropping head on the second-floor balcony, and said slowly, "Mom, I'm just as confused as Ningning. Why don't you get a divorce? Is there some reason you can't tell me?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tinglan froze and said in a panic, "No... no."
"So, you still don't want to get a divorce?" Gu Huaichen asked.
Zhao Tinglan opened her mouth and smiled bitterly, "Huai Chen, I'm sorry."
Gu Huaichen understood, but Zhao Tinglan was unwilling to say it.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't have to apologize to me. Just make your decision. It's just that Ningning is worried about you."
After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Huaichen added, "When you decide to get a divorce, tell Ningning and I will arrange for the group's lawyers to handle this matter for you. There is nothing else to do. I will go to the company first."
Zhao Tinglan was stunned, "Okay...Okay."
Watching Gu Huaichen's car drive out of the yard, Zhao Tinglan stood there for a while before turning around and going into the house.
At the same time on the second floor, Lele and Lin Youning squatted together.
"Madam, did you hear anything?"
Lin Youning: "I don't have one, how about you?"
Lele: "The yard is too big, I can't hear clearly."
Lin Youning: “…”
It was also the first time that she complained that the Qiyun Gu Mansion was too big and the eavesdropping corners were too far away.
"Get up first." Lin Youning sighed.
Lele nodded, helped her up, and whispered, "Madam, your mother——"
Before she could finish her words, Aunt Yang's voice came from outside the door, "Young Madam."
Lin Youning: “I’m here.”
Besides Aunt Yang, Zhao Tinglan was also standing outside the door.
"Ningning." Zhao Tinglan hung her hands at her sides, tugging at her clothes, looking nervous and pitiful.
She looked at her. "Shall we talk?"
Lin Youning hummed, "Where do you want to chat?"
"Let's go upstairs." said Zhao Tinglan.
Lin Youning nodded and looked at Aunt Yang and Lele, "Aunt Yang, you two can go down first."
Aunt Yang responded and patted the back of her hand, "Let's have a good chat, don't be angry."
Lin Youning pursed her lips and said, "No."
After going up to the third floor with Zhao Tinglan and entering the room, Lin Youning looked at her and said, "If you want to convince me to let you return to the Lin family, then there is no room for negotiation."
She paused and reminded Zhao Tinglan: "If you still insist on going back to the Lin family, I will no longer care about you."
Hearing this, Zhao Tinglan was startled, "Ningning, I——"
"You still want to go back?" Lin Youning's eyes widened in disbelief. "Do you have a masochistic constitution?"
She didn't even need to use the honorific title now, she was really pissed off by Zhao Tinglan.
Zhao Tinglan opened her mouth and said, "No, that's not what I meant."
She was a little dumb. "They don't often go back to live there. Today is the first time."
"If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Do you understand this principle?" Lin Youning was really confused. "You don't still have any hope for Lin Mingqi, do you? Do you think he will change his mind? Will he become a better person?"
Lin Youning closed her eyes, "Mom, I beg you, even if it's not for yourself, please consider me, okay? If I go back to the Lin family and see Lin Mingqi and that woman, I will be pissed off to death by them and you."
She seldom said such harsh words to Zhao Tinglan, but today she really could not tolerate it anymore.
Lin Youning's growth environment is different from Zhao Tinglan's. In Lin Youning's opinion, she can still live without a man. But Zhao Tinglan doesn't seem to think so.
In her opinion, she cannot get divorced. If she does, it will bring shame to the Zhao family and Lin Youning.
Many times, Lin Youning really couldn't understand the elders who were unable to adapt.
Hearing her say this, Zhao Tinglan's face froze slightly, "No."
She has always been weak in character, and it was precisely because of this weakness that she attracted Lin Mingqi in the past. "Ningning, I..."
She opened her mouth. "I'm sorry."
"...Forget it." Seeing her like this, Lin Youning said, "I already know what you are thinking."
She looked at her and said, "If you don't get a divorce, I really won't care about you anymore."
Zhao Tinglan was silent.
After a long stalemate, Lin Youning took a deep breath and said, "It's up to you. Whether you want to leave or stay here, I won't stop you."
After saying this, Lin Youning turned around and went back to his room.
The door closed. Zhao Tinglan looked at the closed door and smiled helplessly.
Zhao Tinglan left that afternoon.
Lin Youning heard the sound of a car and wanted to go downstairs to say something, but finally gave up.
Uncle Li was worried, so he sent the person away.
When Gu Huaichen received a call from Aunt Yang, he was silent for a long time, "How is she?"
"She's always been in the room." Aunt Yang sighed. "Young Madam's mother is really something. Why doesn't she want to get a divorce?"
Gu Huaichen probably guessed the reason, "When they got married, they must have signed a lot of agreements."
Aunt Yang was stunned. "...A divorce agreement that might mean leaving the house empty-handed?"
Gu Huaichen hummed, "I guess."
"…But, it's not worth it to end up like this just for that little bit of money." Aunt Yang was helpless.
Gu Huaichen: "Aunt Yang, that's not just a small amount of money."
Although the Lin family is getting weaker year by year, the foundation is still there.
Gu Huaichen guessed that if Zhao Tinglan had no other unspeakable secrets, this was probably the reason why she didn't divorce. If she divorced, she wouldn't get a penny. If she didn't divorce, when she married Lin Mingqi, the betrothal gift and shares given by the Lin family would all be hers.
Later, she will leave it to Lin Youning.
By then, Lin Youning will receive a large sum of money to spend as she pleases for the rest of her life. As long as she doesn't invest recklessly, she will have a trust fund that she can't spend all her life.
Aunt Yang: "But the young lady has you now."
"She may only believe in herself." Gu Huaichen said slowly, "I will check the details, you keep an eye on her."
Aunt Yang: "Okay, but I think my comfort is useless."
Gu Huaichen pondered for a few seconds: "Got it."
A few minutes later, Lin Youning, who was sleeping in her room, received a message from Gu Huaichen: [Do you want to come to the company? ]
