The father and son were sitting opposite each other on the lounge chair by the window. Lin Yuhai asked him, "Why do you have to come to the study to tell me that it has to do with your mother?"
"Forget it."
"If it's relevant, it's relevant. If it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant. That's what it means."
"It's about Lucky."
"..."
Lin Yuhai's expression stiffened for a moment, and his smile faded, "Didn't Lucky go back to her hometown with her biological parents? Have you met Lucky?"
"Um."
Lin Zheng briefly explained the situation, and then said, "She has changed her name to An Qi now. Mom didn't come back tonight, so she stayed in An Qi's rental house to accompany her."
"..."
Lin Yuhai's face darkened. When he smiled, he looked like a kind-hearted Maitreya Buddha, but when he didn't smile, his face became majestic.
He slammed the table and said angrily, "Beasts! Tiger poison can't even eat its seeds. An Fanggang and his wife are worse than beasts... Just leave Lucky alone. Lucky was admitted to Jiangnan University and he even forced her to do so.
Suspend school, how can there be such parents in the world who will ruin the future of their children!"
Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not afraid of his father's anger, but he is afraid of his father being indifferent.
Being angry shows that he feels sorry for An Qi and still cares about An Qi.
He continued, "Dad, you know what Mom has been suffering from over the years. Although Mom didn't say anything about bringing An Qi back, you should understand her thoughts. An Qi has had a hard time these years, and she must have
You have to take care of An Qi."
Lin Yuhai sighed.
After all, she is the daughter he has raised for fifteen years. She has been on his knees since she was a child. She would be lying if she said she didn't feel bad. He nodded and said, "Take care of her! You must take care of her!"
Got the right word.
Lin Zheng completely relaxed and flattered her wildly, "I know my dad is a kind-hearted entrepreneur. What dad and mom mean is that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I will pick An Qi back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"This won't work!"
"..."
Lin Zheng's smile froze, "Dad, didn't you just say..."
"I said yes. I will pay for her tuition and living expenses, and I can take care of her in daily life, but I can't take her back during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Why? You obviously have feelings for An Qi."
"How can you have no feelings after raising her for fifteen years?" Lin Yuhai looked at Lin Zheng and sighed, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. What do you want Jiayi to think about bringing An Qi back?"
"dad……"
"alright."
Lin Yuhai was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, so he forced himself to harden his heart, "It has not been easy for Leqi these years, but it has been easy for Jiayi? She is the biological daughter of me and your mother, and your biological sister. If it weren't for An Fanggang, she would
He has lived in our house since he was a child."
"Look at the daughters of our family's family friends, which one is not confident and free and easy? Look at Jiayi, how much manpower, material and energy we have spent in the past five years... But she still has the family spirit brought from the An family, she will never
I can’t be as bright and confident as other girls.”
The more Lin Yuhai talked, the more he hated her, "This is all caused by that bastard An Fangang."
"..."
Lin Zheng defended, "This was done by An Fangang and has nothing to do with An Qi."
"Dad knows."
Lin Yuhai said calmly, "If it weren't for Lucky's sake, I would have sent An Fangang to prison five years ago."
"dad……"
"I know you feel sorry for Lucky. I can tell you something heartfelt. Dad feels sorry for you too." Lin Yuhai said with a bitter smile, "Dad's heart is not made of stone. Your mother has suffered from angina pectoris because of Lucky these years. Dad
It’s also uncomfortable, as long as I think about Lucky, I can’t sleep all night long.”
"..."
Lin Zheng complained in a low voice, "It won't stop you from sending her back to your hometown even if you feel uncomfortable."
Lin Yuhai glared at him, "Then what can I do? Yes! An Fanggang and the others are greedy for money. We could have given them more money back then and left An Qi and Jiayi in our family. Our family is rich and there is no problem raising one more child."
.But what should we do about Jiayi? As long as An Qi is in our house for a day, she will live in An Qi’s shadow for a day."
"Have you forgotten what your attitude was towards her when she first came back? That was still the case when An Qi was not here. If An Qi was still in our house, she would see you and your mother treating An Qi well, and she would feel sad in her heart
What does it feel like?"
"As long as An Qi is here, she can't treat this place as her own home."
"..."
Lin Zheng was extremely surprised.
Is this the reason why my father insisted on exchanging An Qi and Jia Yi back in spite of my mother's objections?
Seriously.
He didn't think so deeply at all. Back then, he only thought his father was cold-blooded and ruthless.
But now...
Thinking of Jiayi's character, Lin Zheng could somewhat understand his approach.
He understood it, but he couldn't agree with it.
He asked Lin Yuhai, "Dad, is blood relationship so important?"
"Of course it's important."
Lin Yuhai's expression was serious, "Forget it when you don't know. You know clearly that An Qi is not your daughter, and you also know that your biological daughter is suffering. What father can watch helplessly? What's more, this matter is still An Fanggang's.
The result of deliberate calculation!"
"..."
Things have passed. Lin Zheng doesn't want to discuss these anymore. It's meaningless. "Dad, let's talk about the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
"This matter is non-negotiable."
Lin Yuhai had a sullen face, leaving no room for negotiation at all, "I don't care how you and your mother take care of An Qi or subsidize An Qi in private, but you just can't bring An Qi home. If she and Jia Yi can't meet each other, don't do it."
meet."
"But……"
"No need, there is only one solution to this matter." Lin Yuhai patted his shoulder and sighed, "Zheng, don't be so cruel to Jiayi, she is your biological sister."
"..."
yes!
Jiayi is indeed his biological sister.
But over the years, he felt that he had never treated her badly.
not to mention.
Does An Qi want money?
What she longs for is obviously love.
He and his mother just want An Qi to come back for a reunion dinner, but they don't want to take away Jia Yi's identity as the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Moreover, even if An Qi comes back, their feelings for Jia Yi will not change.
Why doesn't it work?
At this point, there is no need to continue talking.
Lin Zheng stood up with a sullen face, "I can't force you if you don't agree, but this matter was brought up by my mother, so you can explain it to your mother yourself."
"..."
Lin Yuhai's expression finally changed.
"Hey!" He grabbed Lin Zheng, "You brat, you turned your back on me. Your mother finally got An Qi back. What do you want me to tell her? She won't beat me to death."
"Yes."
Lin Yuhai's eyes lit up.
The next second.
Lin Zheng pushed his hand away expressionlessly and said word by word, "But... what does that have to do with me!"
