238: Lin Jianjun wants to borrow 1 billion? Get lost!
"Crazy woman! Get lost!" Lin Jianjun, suddenly attacked, stumbled back in pain, pulling Bai Yuelan's hair, trying to yank her away.
But he underestimated a mother's determination to protect her child!
Bai Yuelan bit down on his shoulder. With Lin Jianjun's cry of pain, the three of them tumbled to the ground... Just like that, the Lin family members rolled on the floor in a tangled mess, tearing and pulling at each other. The situation had turned into a two-on-one, with neither side having a clear advantage.
Only Lin Xuan remained calm, sipping coffee and enjoying the spectacle.
To be honest, he hadn't expected things to develop this far... Especially the fact that Lin Hao was not Lin Jianjun's biological son. Although he had suspected it before, he hadn't thought much of it due to lack of evidence.
Now that it was confirmed, he found it amusing and, at the same time, felt that Lin Jianjun's character was truly pathetic...
"Boss, are you alright?"
"BOSS, what's going on?!"
The commotion caused by Lin Hao and the others finally caught the attention of the employees outside.
A group of people, faces filled with worry, rushed through the door and saw the Lin family tangled in a fight, along with Lin Xuan calmly drinking tea.
Just as their expressions turned strange, Lin Jianjun, pinned to the ground by Lin Hao's deadly scissor kick and unable to move, urgently called for help...
"What are you standing around for? Come help! Get these two bastards away, they're trying to hurt my son?!"
"I'm sacrificing myself to save my son, I can't hold on much longer. Come give me a hand!"
"Grab these two lunatics and throw them out of my son's company."
What?
Sacrificing himself to save his son? Really?
But the Executive was sitting there watching the show, he didn't look like he needed saving at all?!
And aren't these two your wife and child?
Why do you all look like enemies?!
Everyone looked confused, instinctively turning their gaze to Lin Xuan, waiting for instructions.
Seeing him nod slightly, the dozen or so people immediately moved, and in a few swift motions, they brought the struggling Lin Hao and his mother under control...
"Lin Jianjun, you bastard! You're burning your bridges! You just wait, I won't let you off easy!"
"Husband, no! Lin Jianjun, you deserve to be cuckolded by me, I did it on purpose! It'll infuriate you! Hahahaha..."
"Lin Xuan, do you think you've completely won? I'm telling you, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!
"The wheel of fortune turns, and one day I'll step on you. For today's humiliation, I will make you pay a hundredfold in the future!!!"
"I will definitely return—!!!"
"..."
Amidst intense resentment and unwillingness, Lin Hao and his mother were dragged away, and silence finally returned to the room.
Lin Jianjun staggered to his feet, touched his bleeding, scratched bald head, grimaced in pain, and teared up.
But he feigned indifference, bravely wiping away a tear.
He turned to Lin Xuan, who had remained calm throughout, and offered a smile of profound fatherly love.
"Xiao Xuan! Don't worry, with your father here, no one can hurt you anymore."
"If anyone dares to bully you again, I will act just like today. Even if I'm beaten black and blue, I will bravely stand up and protect you."
"After all, only a father is good in this world! In this world, only the two of us should truly rely on each other."
"When your mother was still alive, she always told me to take good care of you. What she most wanted to see was harmony between us father and son!"
"Son, you don't want your mother to be sad in the afterlife, do you?!"
"..."
Lin Jianjun's eyes were red, and he looked genuinely remorseful, constantly playing on Lin Xuan's emotions.
Now that he had driven away Lin Hao and his mother, he had no one to work for him and earn money for him to squander.
If Lin Xuan still refused to accept him, he would truly have no money for food or lodging and would have to sleep on the streets, scavenging for food.
So... he had to succeed, he could not fail!!!
But to Lin Jianjun's disappointment... even though he had so sincerely repented his mistakes, Lin Xuan still acted aloof.
"Xiao Xuan! Are you still angry with your father? What will it take for you to forgive your father?"
"Father truly knows he was wrong! For your sake, I've completely broken ties with Lin Hao and his mother, what more do you want?"
"Do you really want to force your father to die? Is it only if your father dies, if I jump off a building! That you will forgive me?"
"If so, your father will go die for you right now!!!"
"..."
Lin Jianjun beat his chest and stomped his feet, looking at Lin Xuan with a heartbroken gaze, his eyes constantly darting towards the window, presenting a helpless image of someone who might jump to his death at any moment.
Facing the emotional blackmail, Lin Xuan scoffed silently.
"Don't waste my time. I know why you're here, aren't you just after money?"
"Zhao Hu must be putting a lot of pressure on you! Tell me, how much do you want?!"
Hearing this, Lin Jianjun's heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't expected this little brat to know so much... However, he had indeed come here for money, not just to pay off Zhao Hu's debt, but also to get enough money to squander for the rest of his life.
One billion!
Lin Jianjun was about to go along with the other party's words and state the amount he wanted.
But when his gaze caught Lin Xuan's expressionless face, the words "one billion" got stuck in his throat, unable to come out...
By now, Lin Jianjun had somewhat figured out... this unfilial son's personality.
He knew that if he asked for "one billion," it would be useless except to humiliate himself, and the other party wouldn't give him a single cent.
The most likely outcome was... to immediately call security to throw him out...
This unfilial son was soft on the inside but tough on the outside; emotional blackmail and other methods simply wouldn't work. The only way now was to...
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Jianjun's mind, and he quickly changed his words, saying guiltily:
"Son! What are you talking about? How could your father come to you for money?"
"Although your father does have some debts, I will find a way to pay them off myself, and I will definitely not cause you any trouble."
"Today, I just missed you and came to see you. And to confess my past mistakes!"
"Oh?" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. This answer was quite unexpected.
He had thought Lin Jianjun would immediately ask for money!
"Really!" Lin Jianjun nodded repeatedly.
Then he rubbed his hands, somewhat cautiously asking:
"But your father is getting old now, and you know that once you're over 35 in the workplace, you're no longer favored."
"Your father still hasn't found a job, so I wanted to ask... could you let your father join the Corporation to help you?"
"Don't worry! Your father was once an Executive of a multi-billion dollar corporation, and he has a lot of experience in managing companies; he can definitely be of help to you."
"I know that after Old Master Su collapsed, Su's Corporation was like a dragon without a head."
"Your daughter-in-law needs rest, and you yourself rarely managed company affairs directly before, so you must be unfamiliar with some business projects and under a lot of pressure."
"If your father were there to assist, you would be much more relaxed!"
"Your father didn't give you enough fatherly love in the past, so this can be considered your father's atonement to you! What do you think?"
"..."
