Chapter 350 Father and Son Break Up
At 9:30 in the evening, Lin Zheng was still hunched over his desk, toiling away at the mountain of work.
Suddenly, he received a call from Yoga Lin. He was very happy. The wrinkles on his face were smoothed out by his smile.
"Ayou. You finally contacted Dad!"
"Lao Lin, how are you doing lately? Are you busy?"
Lin Youqian greeted him politely. It would be a bit too abrupt to bring up the wedding right away.
Hearing his son's concern, Lin Zheng felt relieved and even his voice became louder.
"I'm fine, fine!"
"But I've been really busy lately. There's a lot of stuff going on at the company, and I can't finish it even if I work overtime until late at night. And your sister is getting married, so there are a lot of things to arrange there too."
Speaking of Lin Ling's marriage, Lin Zheng suddenly remembered that he had not informed his son about it yet, so he might not know about it yet.
"By the way, Ah You. Your sister is getting married the day after tomorrow. Bring Xiao Qi along to add to the celebration."
Lin Youqian sneered and replied coldly.
"Qiqi and I can't go. We're also very busy that day."
Lin Zheng preached in the tone of an elder.
"No matter how busy you are, you must make time to come and attend your sister's wedding."
"You are siblings connected by blood, relatives. You should live in harmony and help each other. As a family, you should be harmonious and love each other, and only then will the family prosper."
Lin Zheng spoke of the great principles with great clarity, but it was because of him that this family fell apart.
If he hadn't betrayed Ms. Wen. Even if he had, as long as the mistress wasn't that old woman, Lin Youqian might have even called Lin Ling "sister" and shown her some mercy, considering their blood relationship.
But now, that mother and daughter are instigating Lin Zheng to bully his mother and wife. If he still cowers and endures it and gives them face, he would be a bastard.
"Lao Lin, you need to live in harmony and love each other. Just love your ex-wife and ex-daughter well. There's no need to involve me."
"I can't stand with that side!"
"I'm not calling today to listen to your nonsense. I also have a big happy event to tell you. Qiqi and I are getting married in Lake City the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to come over?"
Lin Zheng jumped up from his seat in shock, thinking he had misheard.
"Ayou, what did you say? You want to have a wedding too? When?"
Lin Youqian repeated heavily. "The day after tomorrow!"
The day after tomorrow? Wouldn't that be the same day as Lin Ling's?
Lin Zheng's head was split in two by this sudden news. He was stunned for a long time.
"Ayou? Why did you have to choose the day after tomorrow? Wouldn't it just happen to coincide with your sister's? Wouldn't this embarrass Dad?"
Lin Youqian did it on purpose. He chose to happen on the same day to embarrass Lin Zheng and slap the mistress and her daughter in the face, so that the Hua family's wishful thinking would fail.
This is a three-pronged approach, both satisfying and enjoyable.
"I think the day after tomorrow is a good date, so I'll set it. Why, Lin Ling chose this day, so I can't choose it too?"
"Or have you bought out this day? Everyone in the world has to make way for you, and no wedding can be held on this day?"
Lin Zheng was speechless.
He understood that his son wasn't telling him to attend the wedding, but was forcing him to make a choice. No matter where he went, it would be wrong.
"Ayou, can you postpone your wedding for a few days? Dad is begging you!"
"No! Just this day!" Lin Youqian was firm in his attitude and left no room for negotiation.
Lin Zheng slumped down in his chair dejectedly, his heart aching as if a huge rock was crushing his flesh.
"Ayou. My hands are made of flesh. Do you really have to force Daddy into this situation?"
"I wish I could split myself in half. But I can't! Tell me, Lin Ling and you are getting married on the same day, which side should I stand on?"
Lin Youqian's tone was already very impatient.
"If my wedding is causing you so much trouble, then there's no need to come. My mom has remarried anyway, so if you don't come, it might be more appropriate for my father Song to sit in the hall."
"What did you call that man?" Lin Zheng's face almost twisted with anger when he heard him call Song Dad.
This unruly son, ever since his rebellious teenage years, had only called him Lao Lin and never called him Dad again. Now, calling other wild men Dad was quite comfortable for him.
"Dad Song!" Lin Youqian repeated deliberately.
Lin Zheng was furious. He roared like thunder.
"Good, good, good! Very good! What a great father Song is!"
"Then let your father Song attend your wedding, and I will pretend that you are not my son."
Lin Youqian also made some harsh remarks.
"Okay, it's just right that you're not coming. I can save a mouthful of food. From now on, you don't have to get involved in anything in my life."
This heated conversation tore apart the last bit of affection between father and son.
From now on, Lin Youqian only regarded him as his biological father and no longer had any expectations of him.
Even if he is old or sick, the most he can do is show filial piety to him.
Qi Xu asked him. "What's going on? Will your father come?"
Lin Youqian's face was gloomy, and he felt very uncomfortable. "From now on, I don't have a father."
Qi Xu hugged him from behind and comforted him softly.
"Hubby, don't be sad. You still have me, Mom, and Dad Song! We're a good family."
"In the future, we will have children and our own little family. I believe you will be the best father in the world!"
Lin Youqian turned around, hugged Qi Xu tightly, and rested his chin on her head. Using her tenderness, he soothed the wounded heart.
Although he was not good at expressing himself over the years, his feelings towards his father were the same as his mother.
Love him, care about him, and respect him.
Even though he had been abroad for seven years and hadn't returned, she still thought he was a good father. It was just that there were some issues with his relationship with her mother.
It was not until this moment that he realized that his father had lost his character, was selfish, and was not someone he could respect.
Perhaps she had some sincerity towards him as her son, but that sincerity was worthless compared to the harm she had done to her mother.
"Qiqi is right. I have more important family members. There's no need to be sad over irrelevant people."
Just as Lin Youqian raised his hand to cross out Lin Zheng's name from the list of guest of honor, Ms. Wen called again.
Her voice was anxious, as if she was on edge.
"Ayou, you and Qiqi, come back soon! Something happened, something serious!"
"Your father Song and Qiqi's godfather are fighting!"
"And Big Brother Lu and Second Brother Lu are fighting too!"
"I can't stop him, and I can't persuade him. I'm so anxious now that my stomach hurts!"
It turned out that when Lin Youqian and Qi Xu were sailing on the sea, Lu's parents came to visit with the Lu brothers.
Because they both had their phones set to Do Not Disturb mode, they couldn't get in touch. So the Lu family went directly to Ms. Wen's house to discuss the wedding and dowry.
Unexpectedly, Song Min and Lu Chengyuan argued fiercely over who would be Qi Xu's father, and finally ended up fighting.
