Chapter 10 Lin Shu's First Conflict with Mother-in-Law
Haicheng Zhou Family Old House
In the study, the tea in the teacup had long lost its temperature.
The old man had his hands behind his back, and he was almost stepping on the bluestone floor tiles to make a dent.
Zhou Yanli's men finally arrived. There was a hint of fatigue on his originally handsome face, and a light blue halo floated under his deep eyes.
He hasn't slept for several days.
The blue and white porcelain cup was thrown at Zhou Yanli's feet, and the tea spilled everywhere.
"Where's she? The news went crazy, saying Lin Shu is dead? Is that really her in the morgue?"
When the old man heard the news, his reaction was not shock or sadness, but anger.
Although Zhou Yanli looked tired, there was no sadness on his face.
"no."
He rushed to the police station to identify the body immediately, and of course it couldn't be Lin Shu.
The Lin Shu he knew was naturally not that stupid. He would not foolishly wait to die in the snowy and icy weather when his car broke down due to lack of gas.
"Then where did she go? I'll find her no matter how deep the ground gets. You know, Lin Shu holds 50% of the Zhou family's shares. If she disappears and comes back, you, me, and the entire Zhou family will be finished."
The old man had been in the business world for so many years and thought he had seen countless people, but he still misjudged Lin Shu.
Come to think of it, when a woman loses the one she loves most, she can do anything.
Zhou Yanli's eyes were red. The moment he got the news, he thought about whether Lin Shu was still alive.
Can 50% of the shares be exchanged for Lin Shu's life?
"That Wen Xin, you should send her away as soon as possible. Our Zhou family has done our best for her. I, an old man, have been acting for such a long time to help you save her. Saving her life is enough.
If Lin Shu runs away, I tell you, our whole family will be sleeping on the street."
Zhou Yanli said nothing and silently left the study.
As soon as he came out from the old man's place, his cell phone rang.
It was Zhou Shuang who called using her watch phone.
"Daddy, have you found Mommy? Is Mommy really dead?"
Zhou Shuang hadn't seen her daddy for a few days. That day, she woke up early in the morning and had breakfast happily. She was about to talk to Aunt Wenxin, but she saw Aunt Wenxin crying in the room so sadly that she hadn't even eaten breakfast.
She thought that Mommy had called Daddy away again, which made Aunt Wenxin cry.
She was about to seek justice for Aunt Wenxin, but Aunt Wenxin told her that the police said they had found her mother's body.
Although Zhou Shuang had been very close to Wen Xin during this period, Lin Shu was her biological mother after all, so she burst into tears at that time and Wen Xin couldn't comfort her no matter how hard she tried.
Zhou Shuang couldn't contact her dad these days, and she was worried about her mom, so she didn't have much mood to play.
After much difficulty, I finally got through to Zhou Yanli on the phone and started asking questions, sobbing.
"Who told you that?"
Zhou Yanli's eyes suddenly darkened.
"Of course—"
She wanted to say it was Aunt Wenxin, but she could hear the obvious unhappiness in Daddy's tone. She was afraid that if she revealed Aunt Wenxin, Daddy would scold her, so she changed her words.
"That's what the aunts who took care of Aunt Wenxin said."
This was the first time Zhou Shuang lied. Zhou Yanli was upset because he couldn't find Lin Shu and didn't notice anything unusual.
"No, your mom is not dead."
Even if Lin Shu is not dead, his whereabouts are unknown.
If the case cannot be reported to the police within 48 hours, it will be considered a missing person. Lin Shu’s phone was unreachable. Thinking of his daughter, Zhou Yanli’s messy thoughts suddenly had an inspiration.
"Daddy is out doing something very important. Call Mommy and ask her where she is, then tell Daddy."
Lin Shu might not have answered the phone because he was angry with himself, but he couldn't just ignore such a heartwarming call.
When Zhou Shuang heard her daddy say that her mommy was fine, she finally felt relieved after days of worrying about her. Her emotions calmed down and she no longer cried easily.
Her sadness continued until Zhou Yanli said that Lin Shu was not dead. She actually cared about her mother very much, but when Zhou Yanli asked her to call Lin Shu, she immediately became unhappy.
Daddy was obviously at home with Aunt Wenxin, but he went out again early in the morning. Aunt Wenxin told her that the police called and said Mommy had died. That was...
Mommy is trying to trick Daddy back again.
She didn't agree to Zhou Yanli immediately, but asked sullenly, "Daddy, are you at our house now?"
"No."
That means Daddy was not deceived, but Mommy must have been hiding, otherwise why would Daddy ask her to call Mommy.
She didn't want to ask Mommy. Mommy was too scheming. She must have done this to test whether Daddy still cared about her.
If she called and Mommy told her, Daddy would definitely leave Aunt Wenxin and go find Mommy, and then he would go back with her.
At Aunt Wenxin's place, she was sick and no one cared about her at all.
She could eat whenever she wanted and sleep whenever she wanted, and she could also play games all day long. She had a reason to be late for school or even skip school because the winding mountain road was too far from the kindergarten. Her dad even asked for a whole month off for her.
She didn't want to contact her mommy. Mommy would definitely send her to school, and she wouldn't be able to do whatever she wanted.
"Daddy, Aunt Wenxin called me, you'd better come back soon. If Aunt Wenxin vomited blood like she did that night, I would be scared to death. Oh, my watch is almost out of battery, I'm going to charge it. No more words, bye, Daddy."
"Frost."
When Zhou Yanli pulled back, Zhou Shuang's watch had been turned off.
Beijing City
"Lin Shu, I don't care where you are, you have one day to get home.
Yanli received a call from the police station asking her to identify the body. Now the news headlines throughout Haicheng are all about the news that someone died in your car and your ID number posted by the police. If they keep digging like this, sooner or later they will find out that you and Yanli are married.
Don't forget that it was you who shamelessly insisted on marrying into our Zhou family. At that time, Yanli and Wenxin were already at the stage of discussing marriage, and you also agreed not to make your relationship public after marriage. Now you're making such a big fuss, are you trying to destroy our Zhou family?"
The phone number and name that had remained unchanged in the phone for thousands of years suddenly appeared on Lin Shu's screen.
Even when Jiang Mingling was cursing, her tone was slow and dignified.
Every word is dull and touching.
Lin Shu listened for a long time without understanding what she meant, until she took out her tablet and checked the headlines of Haicheng.
The Ferrari the Zhou family bought her when they got married had now become a dangerous car after someone died in it. She no longer cared to drive it.
"With the Zhou family's ability, this kind of rumor can be suppressed with a little money."
There was no more panic in his voice. The calm response almost made Jiang Mingling breathless. The superior aura was broken, and Jiang Mingling's tone unconsciously became sharp.
"If our Zhou family gets involved in this kind of thing, everything will be exposed."
Lin Shu could tell how much the Zhou family didn't want her and Zhou Yanli's affair to become public knowledge. And rightly so, wouldn't it be laughable if people knew that the dignified CEO of the Zhou Corporation had once been a gigolo?
However--
"If the police can find Zhou Yanli, it proves that they know I am Mrs. Zhou. Can such a thing be concealed?"
