Chapter 209 - 209: An Incompetent Fool
Lin Wanli’s first phone call in the morning was from Ye Weiyin, and it lasted for half an hour. Regarding today’s trial, she had a new idea and hoped that Lin Wanli could assist her.
Judging from Ye Weiyin’s plan, she seemed unwilling to let the Old Madam’s reputation be ruined. She had more plans that could only be implemented after she returned to the Lin Group. Her goal from the beginning was to make the
Lin Group disappear from Jinchuan because that was the Old Madam’s lifeline.
This was even more advantageous for Lin Wanli because she would have more opportunities to increase Taixi’s popularity in Jinchuan. She had already arranged other segments for the mother and daughter to recover their HP. Now that they were back on track, she was more than happy to do so.
“Sure, which ones do you want to keep?” Lin Wanli asked.
“I can’t let the Old Madam know that I already know that she abandoned me twice. I want to keep this mystery until the end and give her a big gift in return.”
“I understand.’
Lin Wanli hung up Ye Weiyin’s call. She would be the villain in today’s show.
This was because the Ye family’s mother and daughter wanted to return to the Lin Group. They had to gain the Old Madam’s trust again and bring the greatest value to make the Old Madam accept their return willingly.
Ye Zhenzhen and Taixi’s cooperation was the biggest bargaining chip for the mother and daughter.
However, it could be said that Old Madam Lin was not on guard when she went to the Zen Temple this time. In order to prevent the Ye family’s mother and daughter from playing tricks, she specially asked her assistant to get a room and check it thoroughly before informing the mother and daughter of the location of the negotiation.
The manager of the temple reported this matter to Lin Wanli immediately. The Old Madam had taken precautions. She was indeed a cunning old fox.
“It doesn’t matter. Don’t get involved in other things. Don’t leave a negative impression to the outside world that the Zen Temple can’t protect the privacy of its guests.”
“Okay, President Lin.”
Lin Wanli hung up the phone and said to Ye Zhenzhen, “I asked Yan Qiu to prepare a pinhole camera for you. It’s hidden in your shirt pocket. You must record the entire process.”
“I know.” Ye Zhenzhen nodded.
“I’ll keep an eye on the content of your negotiations and bring people in. Your acting skills have always been good. This time, you have to give it your all.” After saying that, Lin Wanli raised her eyebrows. It was obvious that she was mocking the two of them, but the Ye family’s mother and daughter were not angry. Instead, they accepted it calmly.
Then, the two of them went to the room where the Old Madam was.
The room was located in the southeast corner and was extremely secluded. It had a courtyard and the environment was elegant and unique.
At this moment, the Old Madam was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea with Linda and two lawyers.
Seeing the Ye family’s mother and daughter, the Old Madam waved at them and said, “Come, Weiyin, Zhenzhen, come and sit.”
The mother and daughter hesitated and appeared cautious.
“What’s wrong? The person who extorts me for a high fee doesn’t even dare to get close to me?” The Old Madam placed her right arm on the wooden table with a threatening aura.
The mother and daughter walked to the Old Madam one after the other. However, before they could sit down, the old lady stood up and slapped each of them.
“What wishful thinking both of you have. Think about whether you have the ability first.”
Ye Weiyin covered her face with her hands and tried to hold back her grievances. Then, she defended herself and Ye Zhenzhen. “We did not extort you for a high fee. I just wanted to meet you and ask you if you’ve been sincere to us for so many years.”
After hearing Ye Weiyin’s words, the Old Madam frowned because she thought it was ridiculous.
Ye Weiyin, who had always been vain, would actually talk to her about sincerity?
The Old Madam could not help but laugh.
“Stop acting. Let’s talk about the conditions. Do you believe that I can throw you into the river and feed you to the fish?”
“I really just want to know if you really loved and doted on us.” Ye Weiyin continued, “I know we were wrong, so I went up the mountain to offer incense and pray for my brother. I wandered outside for so many years before I found my mother. I really don’t want to lose her so easily.”
“Grandma, the Lin Group’s public relations article isn’t from your heart, right? You’re our family, right?” Ye Zhenzhen started crying as well. Her eyes were red and she looked like a little white rabbit.
“Stop acting. If something can be released from the Lin Group’s public relations department, can it not be my true words? Don’t you know this better than anyone else? Besides, so what if I gave birth to you? I aborted a few of them. You were just lucky to be kept. If you want me to believe you, it’s not impossible. For the sake of the Lin Group’s foundation, the two of you should leave the country immediately. This way, I’ll believe that the two of you really don’t seek benefits, but only sincerity.”
“We can leave.” Ye Weiyin promised Old Madam Lin, “We can give up everything, but you have to tell me, have you ever loved us? Have you ever felt guilty when you sacrificed us?”
The Old Madam narrowed her eyes and carefully sized up the two of them. She asked, “Are you serious?”
“Of course I’m serious. I don’t want to spend the first half of my life in a daze. I want to hear the truth from you.” Ye Weiyin insisted and even knelt.
“Even if I want you to sign a contract to never return, you won’t have any objections?”
“We have no regrets.” Ye Weiyin said seriously, “I just don’t want to lose my mother. Mom, don’t be so heartless.”
“Grandma, please don’t abandon us…” Ye Zhenzhen also knelt beside Ye Weiyin and begged the Old Madam.
Upon hearing the word ‘Mom’, the Old Madam’s emotions suddenly became extremely complicated. She could not believe that this mother-and-daughter pair would actually be willing to give up such a good opportunity to extort her in order to keep her as their mother and grandmother.
How interesting.
“Since you want to hear it, fine. Of course, I loved you. It’s just that your actions have disappointed and hurt me time and time again. For the sake of you and your daughter, I completely ignored the Lin family’s mother and daughter. Is this still not love?”
“Since the two of you are sincerely repentant, I will not be stingy. As long as you promise to disappear from Jinchuan forever, I will spend two weeks with you every year so that you can enjoy the happiness of being reunited with your family.”
The mother and daughter looked at each other. Then, as if they had made a huge decision, they said to the Old Madam, “Okay, we agree. As long as you don’t give up on us.”
Old Madam Lin had not expected things to develop in this direction. She really wanted to test what the two of them were thinking, but from the time the lawyer drafted the contract to the time the two of them signed it, they were obedient and did not disobey at all.
This was really illogical…
As expected, they were two id*ots.
However, just as the mother and daughter signed their names and were about to leave their fingerprints, the door to the courtyard was pushed open aggressively. Then, the Old Madam saw Lin Wanli and Lin Xueyi rushing in with a few reporters….
