Chapter 119: Trading
Du Liangde's peaceful voice came from his ears: "You need to digest these things slowly, don't be in a hurry." β
Lin Qingrou nodded, trying to adjust her emotions and stop being so excited as much as possible. Then, she typed a line on her mobile phone to show Du Liangde.
"Do you have any evidence about these things?" Lin Qingrou looked at Du Liangde and asked.
Du Liangde said with certainty: "The evidence needs to be confirmed by yourself. Even if I had a lot of physical evidence in front of you right now, your first instinct would be to doubt the authenticity of these things. Therefore, you should shoulder the responsibility of finding out the truth about the cause of your father's death. Lin Qinghe has never been your Lin family, don't be naΓ―ve to think that he has the same surname as you, just think that he will not do anything harmful to your Lin family. β
In fact, Lin Qinghe has been keeping in touch with his biological mother Su Yan in private, and the goal of their mother and son is to defeat the Lin family and the Du family. Although I don't want to admit it, Du Hongming, who is now taking Whitby Global Group to settle in Xiushan Beach and working against our Du family, is also my eldest son. Now that Du Hongming has joined forces with Su Yan and the others, these people are the most dangerous enemies for our Du family. β
"I ask you to come back in the hope that you will be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Lin Qinghe is not what you expected, he will become the only support for you and the Lin family. What he has done in private is far more than what you know, he is leading the Lin Group into the abyss step by step, until all the remaining value is squeezed out, and at that time, all the hard work that your father has built up with half his life will be ruined. β
"I hope you will seriously consider it and come back to our Du family. I'll admit that our Du family is not a place where you can feel happy, you can't find a sense of belonging here, and even some of our values and codes of conduct will make you feel disappointed and behave at a loss, but at least we can protect you and Linlin. β
When Du Liangde mentioned Du Lin, he deliberately accentuated his tone. He looked at Lin Qingrou, and the gaze revealed in his eyes was soft and firm. His appearance changed from his usual fierce and vicious, serious and indifferent posture, which made Lin Qingrou puzzled for a while.
Lin Qingrou is not a delicate person who is well versed in human feelings. She is facing an old-timer like Du Liangde who has been in the shopping mall for many years, and is far above herself in terms of experience and qualifications, and she is not equal at all. Lin Qingrou didn't know at all whether the gesture of Du Liangde in front of him was a discovery of conscience after a serious illness or a calculating plan.
Du Liangde saw that Lin Qingrou didn't say anything for a long time, and didn't say much, just lowered his head and picked up the water cup, and drank the boiled water that was no longer too hot. Lin Qingrou suddenly felt that Du Liangde, who was high in her heart and had inviolable authority, looked like an ordinary old man at the moment, he was also aging, and he would also feel the imprint of the years on him, he no longer looked energetic and arrogant.
After a long time, Lin Qingrou picked up her mobile phone and seriously tapped on the phone what she wanted to reply to Du Liangde. After a while, Lin Qingrou went back and read it carefully, and then made some changes from it, and she felt that some of the wording was too rude.
She handed over the screen of her phone and read it to Du Liangde.
"You know where I stand, so I can't do that. Between Du Zeming and me, getting along now will only make each other feel burdened and unhappy. As for what you said, about my brother Lin Qinghe and Su Yan, I don't think it is possible for me to completely believe what you said, and I believe that Lin Qinghe will not do anything to harm the Lin family. β
After reading the words on the phone, Du Liangde nodded and motioned for Lin Qingrou to take the phone back.
"It's not something you can believe so easily. What Lin Qinghe said is also your only relative in the world at present, I can understand what you say. But I still want to fight for it again, since you are not willing to return to our Du family under the current situation, then at least I hope that you can promise me one thing for Linlin's sake. You can also think of it as a deal, and that's okay, but it's important that you think about it. β
"Tell me." Lin Qingrou replied.
"Between you and our Zeming, where to go, I believe that you are all adults and can handle this relationship. This marriage started for some unpleasant reasons, but I believe that you still have feelings for each other over the years. Zeming is my son who taught him, and although he has always adhered to the values and ways of life that I have taught him, I know very well in my heart that he has not fully accepted what I have imposed on him, and his heart is far softer than he looks on the outside. β
"Since you and Zeming have not officially dissolved their marriage yet, then I hope you can fulfill your duty as a daughter-in-law of the Du family. My current physical condition will require a long period of hospitalization to recuperate, and I hope you can come to the hospital to visit me often, this request is not for me to have much benefit, but for those news media who have been staring at our Du family all day long. You also know very well that for a long time in the past, the Du family has been shrouded in full-page gossip and malicious reports, and negative news has a very big impact on Hongming Group, and I need to completely erase these adverse effects on the Du family and Hongming Group. β
"Of course, this is not just our Du family's business. You don't want to be used as a gun by these media reporters all the time, and become the object of wanton speculation. Those good deeds will definitely keep an eye on your private life at all times, trying in vain to find clues that can be used to attack our Du family. As the daughter-in-law of our Du family and the background of the Lin family, you are destined to be unable to escape these troubles of the world, you must know how to face it, so that you will always be in a position not to be harmed. β
"Then, for this reason, you can also meet with Linlin every time you come to me, this child naturally needs to spend more time with his biological mother, I will arrange this matter for you, you can rest assured.
Now that Linlin is growing up day by day, he needs more care and care, and these things are the responsibilities that you must take on as a biological mother. I do not approve of what my wife has done to you, and I am sure she has paid the price for which she is impressed. β
The price Du Liangde said was naturally a series of accusations and abuses against her character that Li Shujun had suffered, as well as doubts and distrust of her original intention of engaging in charity. For a person like Li Shujun, who attaches great importance to face and strives to show his perfect image in front of the world, such a punishment is undoubtedly extremely harsh.
Lin Qingrou stood up, and she turned to look at Du Lin, who was playing with the nurse aunt in the outhouse. For her, the intricacies that Du Liangde said are not so important, and the most important thing for her is always Du Lin.
During the time she left, it was fine not to see each other, but once she met Du Lin today, she knew that it would be difficult for her to be separated from Du Lin for so long again.
Therefore, Lin Qingrou slowly tried to accept Du Liangde's proposal in her heart. All she hopes for is to have more time with her son Du Lin, which is really too important, if she wants to be far away from Du Lin again, Lin Qingrou will be suffocated sadly.
"What are you thinking about?" Du Liangde asked.
Lin Qingrou picked up her mobile phone and quickly typed a sentence: "I can accept such conditions, but I want to confirm that this is just a transaction between me and you, and it does not mean that I need to have other contacts with Du Zeming." β
After reading the text on the phone, Du Liangde smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course, I will do what you wish." What happened between you and Zeming has nothing to do with the consensus we reached. β
Lin Qingrou nodded, and then got up to say goodbye to Du Liangde. Du Liangde looked at Lin Qingrou and said very kindly: "Stay with Linlin for a while before leaving, this child has not received maternal love for too long." β
Lin Qingrou turned around and walked towards the outhouse, tears about to burst out of her eyes again.
Du Lin saw that Lin Qingrou had walked out of her grandfather's house, so he immediately put down the toy in his hand and rushed towards Lin Qingrou's body.
Lin Qingrou gently stroked Du Lin's little head and took Du Lin into her arms.
"Mommy, grandpa said that as long as Linlin hides so that Barbie can't find it, Linlin will be able to see Mommy, grandpa is really right, I really saw Mommy." Du Lin's head was buried in Lin Qingrou's arms and said vaguely.
Lin Qingrou's heart was almost melting at this moment. Oh my God, how dead did I feel that I would make up my mind to leave this home and my beloved son.
At this moment, Lin Qingrou was extremely excited, and she felt that her guilt for Du Lin was filling her heart bit by bit. She needed Du Lin so much, and she felt that it was definitely the biggest mistake to leave Du Lin behind.
Is Du Lin's stay in the Du family really the best choice for him? At the beginning, she believed what Lin Qinghe said, Du Lin could get everything he deserved if he stayed in the Du family, and we couldn't choose for him.
But Lin Qingrou is now convinced that for Du Lin, the best life should be with her, with her biological mother as a companion, and being able to get the most intimate and warm companionship at all times is the best care for him. She didn't want Du Lin to grow up to be a cold-blooded machine, as cold as his father.
