Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Weather is Cool Again, and the Lin Family is About to Go Bankrupt Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Weather is Cool Again, and the Lin Family is About to Go Bankrupt The attitude on the phone was quite malicious, âIâve said all the good things I can, quickly get Qingwu to the police station. If she angers the Lin Family, she wonât be able to handle the consequences! I hear your whole family farms and raises chickens in Qingshan County, be careful, you might not even have land to farm on in the future!â
Shen Shaojia: ââŠâ
Is this called good words? This doesnât even sound human!
Although her phone number was registered in Qingshan County, her account was fully monitored by the National Security Bureau, essentially making it a government-issued phone.
As for not letting her raise chickens, are you challenging the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
Is the Lin Family some kind of prestigious family?
Does the daughter of the Shen Family fancy the status of the Lin Family?
The veins on Shen Shaojiaâs hand bulged, and a welling flood of profanity brewed in her mouth, but when she met the concerned gaze of Qingwu sitting across from her, she swallowed it back.
Thinking about how her adorable sister had lived in such a family, Shen Shaojia was so frustrated that the iron chopsticks in her hand bent out of shape!
ââŠCrazy.â
Shen Shaojia took a deep breath, hung up the call, blocked the number, and continued using her insured hand to peel shrimp for Qingwu.
âHere, these shrimp were just flown in, eat more.â
âThank you, sister.â
Shen Boyi glanced at the chopsticks beside Shen Shaojia, his eyes flickering with a cold light, âWho called you and made you so upset?â
âA few crazies, itâs not important. Big brother, letâs broadcast Little Wuâs birthday banquet worldwide, I happened to buy a few screens at Times Square and theyâll be on loop then!â
She wanted everyone in the world to know that Qingwu was the daughter of the Shen Family!
Not some damned stray cat or dog that anyone could bully!
Zuo Wanjun was the first to cheer, âAh yes, wonderful. I originally thought the spectacle wasnât grand enough and Little Wu was being too wronged. Shaojia, can you contact the publicity department and make sure everyone watching TV sees Little Wuâs birthday broadcast?â
âI can, Iâll call the publicity department right away and ask. Big brother, come with me to the study and we can discuss how to make it happen!â
âAlright.â
Shen Boyi donned his blazer and followed after Shen Shaojia.
Qingwu: ââŠâ
She was just having a birthday, and it was going to be broadcast worldwide, was that necessary?
But seeing the whole family brainstorming for her birthday, meeting Zuo Wanjunâs teary eyes, Qingwuâs heart softened again.
In the study, Shen Shaojia put away her smile, her beautiful face turning serious, âBig brother, what kind of days did sister live through before? That Lin Family called me, actually saying that if sister doesnât forgive the Lin Family mother and daughter, theyâd make her life unlivable!â
Shen Boyi knew that Shen Shaojia called him to the study for other matters too.
Upon hearing this, his originally gentle and handsome face filled with a cold smile!
âThe damn Lin Family! Dealing with them is simple, but we still have to ask Little Wuâs thoughts first. After all, she lived with the Lin Family for so many years, she might have some feelings, and we donât want to do anything that might upset her.â
Shen Shaojia was also aware of this reasoning.
âIâm also worried that sister might still have feelings for their family and knowing how theyâve treated her would make her sad. That family keeps calling us poor farmers, they must think that our family is very poor!â
Shen Boyi: ââŠâ
Since the founding of the country, it was the first time someone said the Shen Family was poor.
He pursed his thin lips, stretched out his long fingers to take off his glasses, and cleaned them with a tissue.
The whole motion was smooth and graceful.
âTo deal with the Lin Family, we have many methods, but still, we need to ask Little Wuâs opinion. No matter what she says, we must respect her wishes.â
Shen Shaojia nodded.
As soon as she stepped out of the study door, she saw Qingwu standing with a platter of fruit, her soft hair cascading behind her ears, wearing home clothes, making her look exceptionally obedient.
âMom asked me to bring this, you didnât eat much before.â
Zuo Wanjun treated all children equally, naturally also noticing that during dinner, Shen Shaojia and Shen Boyi were focused on serving Qingwu and hadnât eaten much themselves.
âThanks, sister. Come in, thereâs something we need to tell you.â
Qingwu followed her in as Shen Shaojia explained everything about the phone call to Qingwu in detail, then cautiously asked, âSister, what do you think we should do about this?â
Qingwuâs expression remained calm, without a trace of sadness.
âI wonât go to the police station, nor will I forgive them.â
To her, the Lin Family was already in the past.
Shen Boyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he would support Qingwuâs decision no matter what, seeing her unbothered by the Lin Familyâs attitude also put his mind at ease.
Qingwu smiled, looking at the concerned faces of Shen Boyi and Shen Shaojia.
âI wonât be upset over people who arenât worth it. Now my family is Grandpa, Mom, Dad, my brothers, and my sister.â
As for the Lin Family, when she left, they no longer had any relation to her!
Shen Shaojia thought of the video Shen Yurou showed her, rubbed her nose, and tentatively asked, âLittle Wu, do you have a boy you like?â
Shen Boyi instantly tensed up too, sitting straight while watching Qingwu.
Qingwu shook her head.
âNo, why do you ask?â
Shen Shaojia gave her a knowing look.
Her sister must be shy!
âLittle Wu, no matter who you like, it doesnât matter. Our Shen Family doesnât care about family background, even if the other party is poor and lacks power, as long as heâs good to you and you like him enough, he can become part of the family.â
Qingwu: ââŠâ
For some reason, what Shen Shaojia said suddenly reminded her of Pei Jue.
But for someone like Pei Jue to join the family, he probably wouldnât want toâŠ
Thinking so, Qingwuâs face suddenly felt a bit warm.
âAlthough our family has a marriage engagement, if you donât like the young master of the Pei Family, we can call off the engagement!â
Shen Boyi lightly coughed twice, interrupting Shen Shaojiaâs nonsense.
âDonât talk nonsense, calling off an engagement like itâs nothing. The engagement with the Pei Family was arranged by the grandfathers, itâs not so easily changed. If Little Wu has someone she likes, she can bring him home. As my sister, so what if you have a few more men?â
Qingwu: ââŠâ
What do you mean by bringing him home? And so what if you have a few more men?
Has the Shen Family become this open-minded?
Shen Boyi patted Qingwuâs head, âBig brother will help you settle the Lin Family matter, donât worry. How could our Shen Familyâs little princess suffer this kind of grievance?â
âThanks, big brother. Iâll go rest now.â
âGo ahead.â
Qingwu knew that Shen Shaojia and Shen Boyi still had things to discuss, so she closed the study door and left.
Shen Boyiâs face instantly darkened, clouds shrouding over it.
âShaojia, call the National Security Bureau, inform them that someone is threatening your lab, making multiple harassing calls, suspected of stealing national secret information.â
Shen Shaojia agreed, the siblings exchanged glances, reading the immense fury in each otherâs eyes.
The Lin Family, truly impressive!
âŠ
Lin Family Villa
Lin Jingsheng paced back and forth in the living room, restless.
âMr. Lin, Iâve contacted people in Qingshan County and notified them to make Qingwu come back and forgive Madam and Miss.â
âWhat did they say? When will Qingwu arrive?â
The secretary hesitated, âThose farmers were so unreasonable, they actually hung up on me and said that you, Mr. Lin, are insane!â
Lin Jingsheng was so angry that his head was pounding loudly!
âShouldnât have been kind and raised Qingwu all these years, Chengcheng is my biological daughter, Qingwu just canât stand seeing Chengcheng living well now, trying hard to return to the Lin Family!â
âChengcheng and her mother kidnapped her? Was that a kidnapping? They obviously arranged for someone to send her back to Qingshan County, otherwise sheâd have stayed clinging to Beijing forever! Such a societal leech!â
The secretary stepped forward and stood beside Lin Jingsheng.
âMr. Lin, Madam and Miss said they kidnapped⊠took Qingwu at Changrong Mall, maybe you should check there? If you can have her sign a settlement agreement, Madam and Miss will be safe.â
A trace of delight flashed in Lin Jingshengâs eyes!
