"Crazy woman! (ノ｀Д)ノ Get the hell away from me!!!"
Lin Jianjun was suddenly attacked, causing him to retreat in pain. He grabbed Bai Yuelan's hair, trying to pull her away.
But he underestimated a mother's determination to protect her child!
Bai Yuelan bit down on his shoulder. Lin Jianjun screamed in pain, and the three of them tumbled to the ground...
The Lin family members rolled on the ground in a chaotic brawl, pulling and tearing at each other. It had turned into a two-on-one fight, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
The only person who remained calm was Lin Xuan.
To be honest, he hadn't expected things to escalate this far...
Especially the fact that Lin Hao was not Lin Jianjun's biological son. He had suspected it before but never had any proof.
Now that it was confirmed, he found it amusing and pitiful at the same time—Lin Jianjun was truly pathetic...
"Boss, are you okay?!"
"BOSS, what's going on?!"
The commotion caused by Lin Hao and the others finally drew the attention of the employees outside.
A group of people, looking worried, rushed in and saw the Lin family tangled in a fight, while Lin Xuan calmly sipped his tea.
Just as they looked at each other in confusion, Lin Jianjun, who was pinned down by Lin Hao's deadly scissor-lock, cried out for help.
"What are you standing around for? Help me! Take these two bastards away! They're trying to hurt my son?!"
"I risked my life to save my son, but I can't hold on much longer! Come on, give me a hand!"
"Grab these two lunatics and throw them out of my son's company."
What (⊙_⊙)???
Risking his life to save his son? (O_o) Is he serious?!
But the boss is just sitting there watching the show. Does he look like he needs saving?!
And aren't these two your wife and child?
Why do you look like enemies?!
The employees looked puzzled and instinctively turned to Lin Xuan for instructions.
Seeing him nod slightly, a dozen employees immediately stepped forward and subdued Lin Hao and his mother in an instant.
"Lin Jianjun, you bastard! You're ungrateful! Just wait, I won't let you off so easily!"
"Husband—no! Lin Jianjun, you deserve to be cheated on! I did it on purpose to piss you off! Hahaha..."
"Lin Xuan, do you think you've won completely? Let me tell you—thirty years east, thirty years west!"
"Fortune changes! One day, I'll crush you beneath my feet! The humiliation I suffered today, I'll make you pay back a hundredfold!!!"
"I'll be back—!!!"
Filled with resentment and unwillingness, Lin Hao and his mother were dragged away. The room finally returned to silence.
Lin Jianjun staggered to his feet, touching his bald head that was scratched and bleeding. He winced in pain, his eyes watering.
But he pretended not to care and wiped his tears away, turning to Lin Xuan with a fatherly smile.
(*￣︶￣).
"Xuan, don't worry. With Dad here, no one will ever hurt you again."
"If anyone dares bully you, I'll do just as I did today—even if I'm beaten half-dead, I'll protect you."
"After all, in this world, only a father is truly good. You and I—we must rely on each other."
"When your mother was alive, she always told me to take care of you. Her greatest wish was to see us father and son united."
"Son, you don't want your mother grieving in the afterlife, do you?"
…..
His eyes red, Lin Jianjun put on the act of a sincere, repentant father, playing the emotional card.
He'd cast off Bai Yuelan and Lin Hao, and now had no one to work and feed him.
If Lin Xuan still rejected him, he really would have nowhere to live but the streets, scavenging for food.
So—success was the only option!
But to his disappointment.....
Even after this tearful performance, Lin Xuan still looked indifferent, disinterested.
"Xuan, are you still angry? What will it take for you to forgive your father?"
"I've truly realized my mistakes! I even cut ties with Bai Yuelan and Lin Hao for you—what more do you want?"
"Do you want to force me to death? Is that it? Will you only forgive me if I jump from this window right now?"
"If so, I'll die here before you!!!"
…..
Lin Jianjun beat his chest and stomped his feet, looking at Lin Xuan with a heartbroken expression. His gaze constantly flickered toward the window as if he might jump off at any moment in despair.
Faced with this moral coercion, Lin Xuan silently sneered.
"Stop wasting my time. I know why you're here, isn't it just for money?"
"Zhao Hu is putting a lot of pressure on you, isn't he? Tell me, how much do you want?!"
Hearing this, Lin Jianjun was shocked.
He didn't expect this little brat to know so much...
However, he had indeed come today for money—not just to pay off Zhao Hu's debt but also to secure enough wealth to squander for the rest of his life.
Ten billion!!!
Lin Jianjun was just about to follow up and state the amount he wanted.
But when his peripheral vision caught Lin Xuan's emotionless face, the words "ten billion" got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say it...
By now, Lin Jianjun had somewhat figured out... this unfilial son's personality.
He knew that if he asked for "ten billion," it would do nothing but humiliate himself—there was no way the other party would give him a single cent.
The most likely outcome was... he would immediately call security to throw him out...
This unfilial son responded to kindness but not to coercion—moral blackmail and similar tactics wouldn't work. The only option left was...
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Jianjun, and he quickly changed his approach, speaking with a guilty conscience:
"Son! What are you saying? How could Dad be here just for money?"
"Although Dad does have some debts, I will find a way to pay them off myself. I definitely won't trouble you."
"I just missed you today and came to see you. And, by the way, to repent for my past mistakes!"
"Oh?" Lin Xuan squinted his eyes—this answer was beyond his expectations.
He had thought Lin Jianjun would ask for money as soon as he opened his mouth?!
"Really!" Lin Jianjun nodded repeatedly.
Then, rubbing his hands together cautiously, he asked:
"But Dad is old now. You know that once someone is over 35, they are no longer welcome in the workplace."
"Dad still hasn't found a job, so I wanted to ask… could you let Dad join the company and help you?"
"Don't worry! Dad was once the president of a hundred-billion-dollar group. I have great experience in managing a company and can surely help you."
"I know that after Old Master Su collapsed, the Su Group was left leaderless."
"Your wife needs to rest and recover, and you have rarely managed company affairs personally. You must be unfamiliar with some business projects and under a lot of pressure."
"If Dad is there to assist you, your burden will be much lighter!"
"Dad didn't give you enough fatherly love in the past—think of this as my way of making amends! What do you think?"
