Chapter 325 I don’t want your compensation
Seeing Qi Xu about to hang up the phone, Lin Zheng gritted his teeth and pleaded.
"Wait, Xiao Qi."
Lin Zheng risked his reputation and repeated Lin Ling's story to Qi Xu again.
Especially when talking about the nude photos, he felt his dignity fall to the ground. He was afraid that he would never be able to hold his head up in front of his daughter-in-law for the rest of his life.
"Xiao Qi, Dad knows you've been wronged by this matter, and I'll definitely compensate you in the future. When the time comes, I plan to leave all the shares of Shanglin Group and the family assets to you and Ah You. I only ask that you help your sister this time, okay?"
Qi Xu first clearly refused his compensation.
"Uncle, I told you last time. I don't want the Shanglin Group. It's not a blessing to me, it's a burden. I just need to manage the assets my mother left me."
"My mother trusts me, cares for me, and protects me so selflessly. I must not let her down. Don't you agree?"
Lin Zheng was stabbed in the heart again.
Qi Xu's words were as sharp as needles, and each one cut to the heart, leaving Lin Zheng speechless.
He thought that if he offered Shanglin Group's shares as compensation, the other party would definitely agree. But the other party didn't care at all.
"Why, Wen Lan is your mother? Am I not your father?"
This question was not easy to answer, but Qi Xu had to answer it.
"You are my father-in-law. I have always respected you as an elder. Did I do something wrong? Or did I offend you or make you angry?"
Since he couldn't reach an agreement with her properly, Lin Zheng had no choice but to pressure her by using his status as an elder.
"No offense, actually. As your father-in-law, I've personally condescended to ask for your help. Why are you making it so difficult?"
"Just tell me, are you going to help Lin Ling with this matter?"
Qi Xu didn't say whether he would help or not. He asked him instead.
"How can I help? What does the other person want me to do?"
"The Hua family wants you to withdraw the lawsuit and publicly apologize to them, explaining that this was all a misunderstanding. Help restore their reputation."
"Heh!" Qi Xu sneered and asked him coldly.
"A public apology? That's quite impressive."
"Why, your daughter's dignity is dignity, her reputation is reputation, and as your daughter-in-law, I can only allow myself to be bullied and have my reputation ruined?"
"Trade my innocence for your daughter's. Mr. Lin, you really have a good plan!"
"Boss Lin, you keep calling me dad, as if you're truly good to me. But in reality, you just want to pull me in to clear your daughter's name and make me your stepping stone."
"Excuse me, where do you have the nerve to ask me to help you?"
After the falling out, Qi Xu simply stopped calling him uncle and began to call him Mr. Lin in a cold tone.
"Xiao Qi, I think you're sensible and reasonable. You should understand how serious the consequences would be if Lin Ling's story were posted online. Her life would be ruined, and the Lin family's reputation would also be damaged, making them the subject of ridicule."
"As for you, you only need to apologize and explain that the feud with the Hua family was just a misunderstanding. It's not a big loss. At most, you'll just lose face."
"As the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, you should consider the overall situation and sacrifice small responsibilities for the sake of the family. Moreover, Lin Ling and Ayou are siblings and should support and help each other."
"Do you understand?"
Lin Zheng also knew that it was wrong to do so, but he had to do it.
Things have their priorities, and people have their closeness or distance. When it comes to choosing between his daughter and daughter-in-law, he unconsciously leans towards his own daughter.
But he subconsciously didn't think so. He just felt that Lin Ling's problem was more serious and had reached a point where it could not be delayed. On the other hand, Qi Xu's problem could be resolved with just a few words.
I never thought about the injustice Qi Xu endured when he was insulted. I also didn't think about how Qi Xu would face the accusations and online exposure after he apologized.
Instead, he thought that giving her Shanglin Group would be a huge compensation.
"Boss Lin, an apology is impossible. I don't want to!"
Qi Xu resisted resolutely, every word was loud and powerful, without any ambiguity, and without giving the other party any face.
Lin Zheng was angry.
"Qi Xu, you know that you are the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. You are marrying a man from the Lin family. As the head of the family, if I ask you to do something, you must do it."
Qi Xu told him with great momentum.
"I'm just the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, not their daughter. My last name is Qi, not Lin. What does this have to do with me?"
"If you want to force or make a fuss, go find your son."
"Youqian once told me that when we're out and about, my every word and action represents his dignity and face. You want me to trample on my husband's dignity for the sake of someone else's face? I can't do that!"
"If you want me to apologize to the Hua family, fine. Unless Lin Youqian asks for it himself."
Qi Xu threw the blame on Lin Youqian with just one sentence. As a daughter-in-law, she couldn't confront her father-in-law because of her status.
This kind of problem can only be solved by the father and son.
Of course, she was sure that Lin Youqian would stand by her side unwaveringly and would never force her to apologize to the Hua family for that woman.
Otherwise, a husband who supports his sister but cannot tell right from wrong can be kicked out as soon as possible.
Lin Zheng was once again pissed off by Qi Xu.
His own daughter is as dumb as a pig, and his daughter-in-law is as cunning as a fox. One cannot be helped, and the other cannot be subdued. It is really a headache.
"Ayou can't be contacted now, so I'm looking for you."
"It's okay, you can wait! I'll have him contact you as soon as he returns from his mission."
"I can wait alone in an empty room for months, so you won't be too impatient, will you?"
Qi Xu deliberately disgusted him.
Lin Ling was now hanging on the boiling diesel, waiting to be put into the pot, and she was so anxious that she couldn't wait even for a moment.
But this was all her own fault. That idiot made a mistake and wanted to force her to pay for it, but it was impossible.
Qi Xu raised his voice and reminded Lin Zheng again.
"Boss Lin, son or daughter, which is more important? I hope you can weigh them carefully on the scale in your heart. Don't be so partial that you end up with your wife and children being separated, your father and your son becoming enemies, and you end up with nothing left."
This is not a threat, it is a fact!
Judging from Lin Youqian's temper, if he allowed him to betray and let down his mother, and then found out that he was secretly forcing and oppressing his wife, he would most likely sever the father-son relationship with him.
The last time they divorced, that gunpowder cannon almost went to cause trouble for his father, but Qi Xu stopped him.
"Okay, very good, Qi Xu, you are truly a good daughter-in-law to me. You relied on Ah You's favor to sow discord between us father and son, and you didn't take me, your father-in-law, seriously at all. Today I have learned my lesson."
"Since you and your wife don't care about Shanglin Group, there will be someone willing to inherit it."
Lin Zheng hung up the phone angrily.
He thought he had lowered his posture, given up his dignity, and begged humbly, but his wife didn't even give him the slightest bit of face.
There is no need to leave his company group to such a person who does not know how to adapt to the times.
