Chapter 149: Zero
"What did you say, you're going to Daddy's house?" Jin Yu showed an expression of disbelief, her eyes were wide open, as if she didn't know the person in front of her, "You would never take the initiative to go to your father's house before. β
Just a week after the auction, Lin Yuan received a call from the manager of the car shop to find a buyer for his car. Hearing that it was a new car, the buyer saw that it was someone from the Sun family who wanted to sell the car, so he happily did not bargain much, and almost bought it at the price that Lin Yuan expected.
Lin Yuan handed over the car keys, completed the registration of the vehicle transfer, and scraped together enough money in his hand, he didn't stay long, went directly to Team Leader Zhao, and paid the fine.
He thought that he would be very depressed after selling the car, but after making up the fine and walking out of the industrial and commercial bureau, he actually had a sense of relief to unload the burden. He didn't call a taxi, he simply walked back to the villa, and when he got home, it was already completely dark, and Jinyu was already anxious. He deliberately warned himself that the road ahead would only be more difficult than today.
Facing Jin Yu's anxious look, without waiting to answer where she went, Lin Yuan opened his mouth and said, "My affairs are all over for the time being. β
Jin Yu was originally worried that he would be lost and negative, but he didn't expect Lin Yuan's mood to be the same as before, not lost or decadent, and told her that things were temporary, so he stopped talking more. When he was alone, he just sat quietly, thinking about his thoughts.
"Lin Yuan, I have something to tell you." Before going to bed at night, Jin Yu finally couldn't bear the silence between the two, and returned to the bedroom to avoid Sister Mu, wanting to tell Lin Yuan what she had hidden for a day.
Lin Yuan looked straight at Jin Yu and said with a smile: "Jin Yu, I also have something to tell you." β
Lin Yuan didn't take the initiative to say a word to himself all night, and Jin Yu finally waited for the time to be alone, and the opening remarks that he had thought of in his heart were blocked by Lin Yuan's words.
"W-What?"
"Tomorrow, I'm going to see your father. That's what he meant, too. β
As soon as these words came out, Jin Yu froze in place, her eyes staring at Lin Yuan's direction in a daze, and she didn't blink for a long time.
Lin Yuan looked at Jin Yu's appearance, and also knew that the words were sudden, and said with a light smile: "Don't worry about me, this is what I and your father meant, and he and I are both cautious." He is your father, my father-in-law, and what do I care about him? β
Jin Yu was stunned: "Lin Yuan, how do I think that after so many things, you have changed a lot, but I don't know you anymore." β
"Fool," Lin Yuan laughed softly, "How can you have so many ideas, don't worry, I just have some things to discuss with him and your father." I'm still me, how could you not know it? β
Jin Yu bit her lower lip, her eyes kept following Lin Yuan's every move: "I have never heard you say that you want to discuss things with your father......
"I don't even have the only store now, and I've become a useless idler in the Sun family. If I don't fight for it again, it will only make your dad look down on me even more. Lin Yuan straightened Jin Yu's sideburns and some messy broken hair, "I'm a man, and I can't just rely on you to help me solve something." I have to find a way out by myself, so that you will not be wronged with me. β
Jin Yu shook her head stubbornly: "I don't want you to compensate me for anything." But when you go to your father, I'm worried about his temper and I'm going to say something nasty to you again. β
Lin Yuan lovingly took Jinyu's shoulder, revealing a faint smile: "The current situation is different, things started because of me, and I need to bear this." Your father is willing to put aside the prejudices he used to have against me, and I can listen to his reproaches for me, and I can't sit idly by for you. β
Jin Yu felt awkward in her heart, Lin Yuan's hand wrapped around her shoulder, pinched it gently, and said, "You have lost a lot of weight." Jinyu only felt a sour feeling in her nose, and she was almost about to burst into tears.
"Don't worry about me, go to bed early." Lin Yuan bent down and only cared about making the bed, not noticing the change in Jinyu's expression.
"Lin Yuan, there's one more thing I haven't told you." Jinyu sobbed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yuan asked casually, as if he felt that Jinyu's quilt was a little thinner, so he opened the wardrobe and helped her find a silk soft quilt out, spread it out and gently smoothed the folds on the quilt.
"The matter of the restaurant is related to the Ji family."
Lin Yuan's hand spreading the quilt froze, and his lips moved: "Really?" β
"Originally, I couldn't believe that it was Ji Yecheng's employees who came and said it in front of his father. I don't think there will be a fake. β
"I know," Lin Yuan's hand stroked the quilt once, smoothing it out, "You can sleep warmer by changing into a thick quilt." β
Jin Yu paid attention to Lin Yuan's every move, he just cleaned up the bed and didn't show any abnormality. Jinyu asked, "You're not surprised at all?" β
"Actually, didn't we have doubts for a long time, but we couldn't be sure. Now that it's confirmed, it's not too surprising. β
"Now that you know everything," Jin Yu approached Lin Yuan, looked at his back and asked, "The Ji family calculates you like this, and it may be the entire Sun Group in the future, and things can't go over like this." What should we do in the future? β
Lin Yuan turned around and smiled at Jin Yu: "I've already thought about what to do in the future." β
The two of them had their own thoughts, and they didn't sleep soundly. As soon as it was dawn, neither of them could sleep anymore, Lin Yuan simply got up, prepared breakfast neatly, waited for Jinyu to get up, found a set of clothes that he didn't usually wear, and ironed it carefully.
Lin Yuan saw that Jin Yu was still looking at him suspiciously, and said with a smile: "Why, it seems to be surprised to see me like this?" β
"It's not...... I'm glad you're willing to dress yourself again. Jin Yu tried her best to show a calm smile in response to Lin Yuan, "I'll go with you." β
"You still have things to do in your company, so you don't need to accompany me."
"I'll drive you there. Your car is ......" Jin Yu said a little more violently, and stopped in time, afraid of arousing the sadness in Lin Yuan's heart, he hurriedly turned his back on Lin Yuan and went to the closet to get his coat.
The amount of the penalty Lin Yuan was unwilling to let Jinyu help him out, so he simply reluctantly sold his beloved car. The freshness has not passed, and the car was sold in order to pay the fine, and Jinyu's heart felt empty. But Lin Yuan seemed to be okay today, and his face was calm when he heard her talk about the car.
Jinyu's hands trembled vigorously, and her clothes hung so high that she couldn't hold them.
"I'll help you."
Lin Yuan's voice was still calm and good, helping her open the closet, her body was pressed together, and there was a trace of excitement like an electric shock from behind. Jinyu's heartbeat quickened, and she hurriedly took her hand back.
Lin Yuan found Jin Yu's favorite windbreaker, helped her drape it on her body, and then took out the high heels that Jin Yu often wore from the shoe cabinet, and carefully brushed off a layer of floating ash: "Seriously, with you by my side, I can be more at ease." β
Jin Yu grabbed the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes from behind: "But I'm not worried, you and Dad still have something to discuss now." β
"You told me last night that you want me to make a plan for how to deal with the Ji family. What I want to say to your dad is this, too. β
Lin Yuan turned around and hugged Jinyu, calmed her uneasy heart, and opened the door: "It's okay, let's go." β
The last time in Sun Xiongzhi's study, Lin Yuan and Sun Xiongzhi talked for a long time, what Jin Yu didn't know was that this time it was not Sun Xiongzhi's trouble, but that the two of them finally had the idea of working together in order to protect the interests of the Sun family.
Sun Xiongzhi turned his back to Lin Yuan with his hands, as if he had insight into everything: "You don't need to say that I also know that this time someone wants to bring me down, but he just did something to your store first." β
"Aren't you afraid that because I was framed for no reason, I will smear your Sun family's reputation?" Lin Yuan stared at Sun Xiongzhi's back and asked quietly.
"I know, I have to give up. It is common in the business to give up the pawn to protect the car. It's just that you have a small restaurant, with our Sun's industry, and as long as I want to open such a restaurant, I can open it again. β
"Then you're not afraid that because of the matter of the restaurant, the reputation of the Sun family will be questioned?" Lin Yuan seemed to be pressing, but his tone was soft, unwilling to clash with Sun Xiongzhi, "The restaurant has an accident because of food safety, and if you want to get involved in catering in the future, this is a stain." β
Sun Xiongzhi didn't care, and smiled contemptuously: "Yue Linyuan, you are still young, is there only so little bit of your vision?" You think I wouldn't be able to think about these things. β
Yue Linyuan didn't say a word, staring at Sun Xiongzhi's back, revealing suspicious eyes.
Sun Xiongzhi turned around: "The restaurant is under the name of Jinyu Company, but I asked you to be a lawyer, just to take this into account, you are a legal person, and the restaurant will not have much to do with Sun's Finance." Even if something happens, Sun's Finance will only bear some superficial losses at most, and it will not shake Sun's foundation in the slightest. β
"It turns out that you have a long plan, and it started from that day."
Lin Yuan's words were full of unwillingness, Sun Xiongzhi could hear it, and he didn't want to explain more to him: "Fortunately, I also have some relationship with the people in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the other party wants to bring down your store, and then bring down the Sun family, I can't completely let him get his way." You are the son-in-law of the Sun family, but no matter how deep you delve, it has nothing to do with the Sun family's industry, as long as you draw a clear line with the Sun family, the Sun family will not be implicated, do you understand. β
Lin Yuan saw through Sun Xiongzhi's heart, and he should have calculated what he was thinking, and smiled very peacefully: "So if I am hit hard because of this incident and there is no possibility of turning over, you will not hesitate to ask me to divorce Jinyu, for Jinyu's life, for the Sun family's industry not to be affected?" β
"Didn't you just want to divorce Jinyu in the first place?" Sun Xiongzhi squinted at him, "If it weren't for Jin Yu being able to bring you this shop, you would have gotten some benefits from our Sun family, would you have been nostalgic to this dayβto put it bluntly, in the Sun family, you have already gained a lot of benefits." β
"I agree to do what you say, not for you, not for the Sun family. I'm just for Jinyu. Lin Yuan said coldly back, forcing Sun Xiongzhi to look at him squarely.
"You have to remember that as long as you are still in the Sun family for one day, you have the responsibility to take care of the overall situation of the Sun family. To keep Sun is to protect yourself. β
Lin Yuan nodded solemnly: "I just want Jinyu to be fine." β
Sun Xiongzhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he was satisfied with Lin Yuan's answer, and continued: "From the current point of view, you have only lost one store, but if you can help me keep the Sun family, I will open another store for you in the future." β
"Is it possible for me to open another store?" Lin Yuan laughed at himself.
"You are willing to give up your store for Jinyu this time, I will not let you sacrifice in vain, as a reward for you, after the limelight is over, I will wipe everything out, so that you can open a store and do business smoothly."
Lin Yuan silently smiled bitterly in his heart, his forbearance, in Sun Xiongzhi's eyes, was nothing more than a transaction, using his sacrifice in exchange for Sun's peace and soundness. His reputation, his dignity, nothing more than that.
