Chapter 64 Leaving
When Lin Hui returned home, it was already late and the lights were off in the living room. He put his handbag in the entrance and changed into slippers.
I tiptoed to the bedroom, my fingers touched the door handle, and the door opened from the inside.
A middle-aged woman with a delicate face stood in front of him, wearing a beige silk nightgown.
Lin Hui pushed the door open and walked in, and Lu Xiaomin's eyes followed him.
"I called you but you didn't answer. Did you see that girl today?"
Lin Hui: “I saw it.”
Lv Xiaomin: "Then what do you think the probability is that your son will come back and inherit the family business?"
Lin Hui paused for a moment as he took the clothes, then turned to look at her: "I don't know. I've already done everything you asked me to do, so please don't ask anymore, okay?"
Seeing his passive and indifferent look, Lv Xiaomin couldn't help but feel annoyed and lost her temper: "Lin Hui, what do you mean? Are you annoyed by me? I asked you to do it, and it was me who asked you to do it, and it was for this family, for our three daughters!"
Seeing that she was angry, Lin Hui put down his clothes, sighed, and supported her slightly shrugged shoulders.
"I know, don't be angry."
Lu Xiaomin's eyes were slightly red, and she bit her lip and said, "I know you and your son haven't seen each other for so many years. You are reluctant to look for him now, but the situation is urgent now. We have worked hard for so many years, we can't end up with nothing. Now our three daughters are still studying away from home..."
Lin Hui's eyes darkened slightly: "I know. I will convince him."
It was a dark night and Lin Jingchuan was standing on the balcony smoking.
The man had his arms resting on the railing. He had a tall figure, his upper body slightly bent, and the veins on his hand holding the cigarette were slightly bulging.
Xu Mo walked over, took his cigarette and put it out in the ashtray.
Lin Jingchuan tilted his head to look at her, then pulled her into his arms, his chin resting on her forehead.
"I went to look for him after the college entrance exam," he said calmly. "Since he and my mother separated, I haven't seen him again, and he hasn't come to look for me either. It's actually quite good to have this tacit understanding: he doesn't even have me as his son, and I don't have him as my father. But I went to look for him anyway."
Xu Mo looked up at him, her forehead brushing against the light stubble on his chin.
"Then I saw he was living a good life, with three daughters, a beautiful young wife, and a rich life." Lin Jingchuan looked calmly into the distance, squinting his eyes. "When I went to see him, he was picking up his daughter from school. I didn't know what to feel inside, so I watched for a while and then left on my own."
Xu Mo pursed her lips: "You must have felt very uncomfortable at that time."
"Not really," Lin Jingchuan said. "After all, I was an adult by then. I'd seen it, and that was it. If I had to describe the feeling, it would probably be more of a sense of relief."
"Actually, he has no feelings for me, which is normal. My mother and he had a bad relationship, and they argued many times before the divorce," Lin Jingchuan said. "He always said that my mother looked down on him."
Xu Mo rested her head on his collarbone and lowered her eyes.
"When he said those words to me today, I almost thought he was really doing it for your own good."
Lin Jingchuan shook his head: "You've ignored me for more than ten years, and now you're suddenly asking me to come back and inherit the company. This sounds very strange."
He lowered his eyes to look at her fluttering eyelashes. "He contacted me after I became an adult, but I acted rather indifferent. I didn't expect him to find you and even go to such lengths to trick you into an interview."
Xu Mo blinked: "Yeah."
She curled her lips and said, "Forget it. Like you said, if it's really a good thing, it won't be your turn. Who knows what kind of traps the company might have. Let's not touch it."
Lin Jingchuan smiled and hummed. He reached out and cupped her face: "Momo."
"Um?"
He looked into her beautiful, bright eyes. The Fei family had been dealing with so much and so much chaos lately, and a faint sense of unease and anxiety spread like a tide in his heart. He looked at her and said slowly, "If one day, I..."
The phone vibrated. Xu Mo looked at the screen and saw that it was a call from her grandma.
Grandma is an eighty-year-old woman and not very good at using mobile phones, so Xu Mo rarely receives calls from her. She was a little surprised when she received one this time.
She said to Lin Jingchuan to wait a moment, swiped the screen and walked into the living room to answer the phone.
"Hello, Grandma?"
"Momo, is it time to get off work now?" Grandma's voice sounded a little tired.
"Grandma, I'm at home now. What's wrong?" Xu Mo held the phone tightly.
"Your father was in a car accident and injured his leg," Grandma said. "If you have time, please take some time off and come back to visit."
Xu Mo's heart sank at an extremely fast speed: "Is it serious?"
"It's okay, but I'm not young anymore, so it's still pretty hard." Grandma said, "Come back, you haven't been back for a long time."
Xu Mo returned home that night.
Lin Jingchuan originally wanted to accompany her back, but after submitting the leave approval process, he was rejected by Fei Yiming.
Fei Yiming left him a message on the work app: "Come to the company tomorrow."
Lin Jingchuan vaguely felt that it might be time for a reckoning. After looking at the line of words for a long time, he replied, "Okay."
Fei Yiming didn't say when he would look for him, so Lin Jingchuan sat in the office waiting.
He received a call from the aunt in the old house: "Jingchuan, the old lady called back and asked me to mail some things to Europe. I heard the voice and it was indeed the old lady. She is now with Mr. Fei and Mrs. Fei, and is indeed in Europe. You don't have to worry too much."
Lin Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, but it was also expected. Fei Yiming was a child he had watched grow up, and he would not really hurt his biological father because of the issue of illegitimate child and inheritance rights.
Lin Jingchuan said: "I'm glad that Grandma and Mr. Fei are okay."
Aunt Lao Zhai exchanged a few more pleasantries with him and then hung up the phone.
After Lin Jingchuan hung up the phone, he realized that Fei Yiming had walked into his office at some point.
The boy was wearing a dark green shirt that was neatly ironed. He still had the same handsome features as before, but his eyes were now sharper and more mature.
"Now you believe that I didn't harm my father, right?" Fei Yiming said.
His shoulders sank, and Lin Jingchuan lowered his eyes slightly, looking a little tired.
"Yiming, I never doubted you."
Fei Yiming snorted coldly: "You didn't doubt me, so why did you call the aunt at home to confirm my father and grandmother's comfort?"
Lin Jingchuan said: "Based on my understanding of Mr. Fei, he will not give up easily, so I want to confirm his situation."
Fei Yiming suddenly asked, "Do you feel like my dad, deep down, that I'm not worthy of taking over the company?"
Silence stretched between the two.
Lin Jingchuan looked at him calmly: "Yiming, you called me here today, what do you want to tell me?"
Fei Yiming sneered: "He didn't give a direct answer, but that's what I thought."
His expression turned slightly cold. "But the current situation is that even if you think I'm unworthy, the inheritance of this company will only be mine."
Lin Jingchuan remained silent. Fei Yiming slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and stood with his hands behind his back.
The boy said calmly, "My dad is sick. He was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. He may not live long."
Lin Jingchuan's throat tightened: "What?"
"My dad and mom were arguing during that time. He was worried about his illegitimate child and his own company, so he was desperate and entrusted the illegitimate child to you, wanting to entrust the company to the illegitimate child." Fei Yiming said, "But now my mom and him have reached an agreement. I will inherit the company well, and I will reserve a position for the illegitimate child in the company."
Lin Jingchuan raised his eyelids and looked at his back.
After a while, Fei Yiming said, "Cousin, my mother and I gave you a chance, but you still chose to side with an outsider. I was puzzled before, but later I found out that my father promised to give you stocks."
Fei Yiming turned around and looked at him coldly: "Since you helped him for the sake of profit in the past, then you can betray me for the sake of profit in the future."
Lin Jingchuan looked at him calmly: "Yiming, you want me to leave the company, right?"
A look of surprise flashed across Fei Yiming's eyes.
"From the day you announced the rotating CEO system, I knew this would happen." Lin Jingchuan raised the corner of his mouth. "Once unfaithful, never again. I didn't teach you this. Didn't President Ou tell you? He's a veteran who started the business with your father and is very familiar with the company. He may be a little impatient, but he's not a bad person. I feel at ease with him around."
"But you have to know that your father's talk about giving you stocks was just empty talk. I've been at Lan University for so many years and have seen many life-or-death situations. If I really wanted it, I wouldn't have been unable to get it until now."
After saying that, Lin Jingchuan left the office.
