Lin Luoqing finished washing up before picking up his phone and calling Father Lin.
“I was sleeping in the morning and it was Yuxiao who hung up the phone. He was afraid of disturbing me.”
Father Lin felt proud again when he heard this. He knew it. As a father, he knew better than anyone how much Lin Luoqing wanted to return to the Lin family. How dare Lin Luoqing hang up on his call? Lin Luoqing couldn’t wait to hug his thigh every day and beg him to go home!
Sure enough, it was Ji Yuxiao!
“It’s good that it wasn’t you.” Father Lin sounded compassionate. “Take advantage of your free time in the next two days. You and Yuxiao should go home. Isn’t it too much not to go home after getting married? Do you still have a bit of the self-awareness of a child?”
Lin Luoqing sighed. So this person still remembered that Lin Luoqing was his child? Did he take the original owner and Lin Luoxi as his children? It was only at such a time that he remembered he had a son.
However, he was still pretending to be a little white flower so he didn’t say anything to Father Lin. Instead, he said pitifully, “It isn’t that I don’t want to go home. It is that Yuxiao doesn’t agree. He won’t let me go back and I don’t dare go back alone.”
“Doesn’t he like you? Are you still afraid of him?”
“Aren’t you afraid of him? He likes me now but what should I do if he doesn’t like me in a few days? You know that he is moody and uncertain right now. He loves me today and perhaps he will get tired of me tomorrow.”
Ji Yuxiao, who just came out of the bathroom after washing up, “……”
Very good, his wife now dared to speak ill of him in front of him.
Lin Luoqing waved after seeing him coming out and signaled for him to come over.
Ji Yuxiao pushed the wheelchair and came over. He heard Lin Luoqing turn on the speaker mode. Then Lin Luoqing sincerely told Father Lin, “Dad, I know how you feel. You know best that I dream of you recognizing me as your son again, but Ji Yuxiao won’t let me go out. I don’t dare, otherwise he might divorce me. Won’t you become angry again and refuse to recognize me?”
Father Lin, ‘…That was indeed the case.’
“So why isn’t he letting you go home?”
It was coming, it was finally here. This was what he had been waiting for.
Lin Luoqing immediately pretended to be worried. “He feels that you don’t love me and he feels sorry for me. He wants me to break off our father-son relationship!”
Father Lin was dumbfounded. There was nothing wrong with this but at this time, the relationship between father and son couldn’t be broken. He hadn’t benefited from Lin Luoqing yet! How could it be broken?
“Then you persuade him and tell him that I love you. If you can’t do such a trivial thing, what can you do?” Father Lin was disatisfied.
“I know. I persuaded him last night but he didn’t listen.”
Lin Luoqing said while writing a few words on a post-it note and showing it to Ji Yuxiao.
Ji Yuxiao took a closer look and was moved by his wife’s spirit of not letting go of a single piece of wool. The post-it note had the simple words: Ask for money!
Lin Luoqing showed it to him before immediately saying, “Hey, Husband, what are you doing? Don’t grab my phone. I am on the phone with my father. Let me finish.”
Then he signaled for Ji Yuxiao to enter the scene.
Ji Yuxiao looked at his wife helplessly before shaking his head in a fond manner. Okay, a good day started with helping his wife gain some profits.
He picked up the phone and pretended to say, “Luoqing’s father, it is me, Ji Yuxiao.”
Father Lin heard it was him and immediately changed. His tone became a bit flattering. “It is you, Yuxiao. I was just talking to Luoqing about you. If you have time recently then go home with Luoqing.”
“There is no hurry,” Ji Yuxiao said with a smile. “I had never seen that you cared so much about Luoqing. For so many years, Luoqing has always been dependent on his sister. There is no need for him to go home.”
“How can you say that?” Father Lin disagreed. “I had some unpleasant troubles with Luoxi before and this caused Luoqing to be dragged in. However, I still care for him. How else can I look forward to him going home with you every day? It was mainly his sister’s fault. If it wasn’t for his sister, how could I be willing to let him go?”
“Really?” Ji Yuxiao said with a smile. “Then it seems that you still love him.”
“Of course.”
“In that case, shouldn’t you compensate him for being away from home for so many years?” Ji Yuxiao was indifferent. “For example, give him 20 or 30 million and let him buy something he wants.”
Father Lin heard this and quickly said, “What compensation should be talked about between father and son? This is too outrageous.”
Ji Yuxiao sneered and hung up directly.
Lin Luoqing, “!!!”
“Why did you just hang up?”
“Don’t worry, your father will call back.” Ji Yuxiao was calm.
Sure enough, Father Lin called again the moment he finished speaking.
“I told you.” Ji Yuxiao glanced at Lin Luoqing and picked it up.
He stayed silent and waited for Father Lin to speak.
Father Lin was a bit annoyed by this. He didn’t want to give him money but if he didn’t give it, Ji Yuxiao wouldn’t let Lin Luoqing go home.
He was expecting Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao to look after the Lin family after they got married so he had to calculate things. “Or shall we hear what Luoqing has to say?”
Ji Yuxiao hung up the phone again, obviously not giving him face.
Father Lin was so angry that he dropped his phone before picking it up to send Lin Luoqing a WeChat message.
Lin Luoqing heard his phone ring and leaned over to take a look. He found it was Father Lin’s WeChat message: [I don’t care what method you use. Quickly deal with Ji Yuxiao or I will tell him that you married him for just three million!]
Lin Luoqing, “……”
Lin Luoqing looked at Ji Yuxiao. “You know that I am innocent, right?”
“Really?”
“I just told you about this!” Lin Luoqing frowned.
Ji Yuxiao smiled and touched his head. “Yes, you are innocent.”
He returned the phone to Lin Luoqing. “Let’s go, it is time to eat.”
Lin Luoqing nodded. He wasn’t worried about Father Lin’s side at all.
He would give money sooner or later. After all, Lin Luoqing was already married to Ji Yuxiao.
Father Lin wouldn’t give up the big tree called Ji Yuxiao, so he wouldn’t give up on Lin Luoqing, who was with Ji Yuxiao.
In addition, he already knew that Chen Feng had given Lin Luoqing three million. This was equivalent to an initial cost. How could a shameless person like Father Lin allow his initial cost to be a sunken cost? He would find a way to get more than three million from Lin Luoqing.
So Lin Luoqing had to go back to the Lin family and become a pawn for him to make money.
Lin Luoqing also gave him such hope. It wasn’t that Lin Luoqing didn’t want to go home, it was that Ji Yuxiao didn’t let him go home. He just had to handle Ji Yuxiao and wouldn’t everything be solved?
There was no reason for a gambler at the table to leave the table easily. Father Lin was already at the table.
Sure enough, after 9 o’clock in the evening, Ji Yuxiao received a call from Father Lin. Father Lin said that he had indeed treated Lin Luoqing badly over the years and would give him 20 million as compensation.
Ji Yuxiao calmly told him, “Then he just got married. Shouldn’t you also show something?”
Father Lin, “……”
Father Lin hadn’t expected Ji Yuxiao to be such a person and acted pitifully. “Yuxiao, our family is different from your family. We aren’t as rich as you. 20 million is already a huge amount of money for us.”
Ji Yuxiao mocked him. “Is that so? You don’t even have this small amount of money. Then it seems that you aren’t worthy to be my father-in-law. Let’s forget about going home, lest your temple is too small and can’t tolerate my big Buddha.”
Then he hung up again.
Father Lin, “……”
Lin Luoqing listened to these tricks and felt that Ji Yuxiao really deserved to be from a wealthy family. He could gain a profit twice!
Lin Luoqing originally only wanted one sum of money but Ji Yuxiao could actually ask for two.
He earned a lot!
“Brother, you are so handsome!” Lin Luoqing said sincerely.
Ji Yuxiao looked at him and said proudly,”That’s right. How else can I be so handsome that I made you fall in love with me at first sight at a young age and so that you never forgot me?”
He also didn’t forget to tease Lin Luoqing. “You are quite precocious. You know how to find a partner for yourself in elementary school and you found such a human masterpiece. I really envy you. Your vision is really good.”
Lin Luoqing, “……”
Ji Yuxiao shook his head. “Of course, I am also to blame. I know what I look like but I didn’t restrain my charm. You were an elementary school student and had never seen such a handsome and dashing person like me. It isn’t your fault. I don’t blame you.”
Lin Luoqing, “……”
Lin Luoqing stood up and walked to the balcony.
“What are you doing?” Ji Yuxiao asked him.
“I’m going to close the window. I’m afraid that you are blowing yourself up so well that you will soon bring in a sandstorm!”
Ji Yuxiao laughed. “Maybe it is raining heavily?”
Lin Luoqing looked back at him. “Then I see that you don’t want to silently ask for nothing in return.”
“That is true. I might prefer sunrise in the east and rain in the west. There is no sunshine but it is clear.” (A poem that also alludes to the author’s longing for their love)
Lin Luoqing laughed. He thought, ‘Who knows if you are ruthless or affectionate?’
He walked over again. Just as he sat down, he heard his phone ringing.
He thought it was Father Lin and immediately took out his phone. Then he looked at it and saw that it was actually sent to him by Wu Xinyuan.
[There is an idol drama that will be launched in the city soon. It is an IP adaptation and the original work is very popular. They are currently lacking a third male lead. Are you interested? The script has been sent to your email.]
[Okay.] Lin Luoqing replied to him. [I’ll take a look.]
Then he opened his inbox and downloaded the script.
“Can I use the printer in your study?” Lin Luoqing looked at Ji Yuxiao.
Ji Yuxiao nodded. “Do you know how to use it? Do you want me to help you?”
“Okay.” Lin Luoqing didn’t refuse either.
He pushed Ji Yuxiao into the study and forwarded the email to Ji Yuxiao’s inbox.
Ji Yuxiao looked at the attachment in the email and was surprised. “Are you going to film so quickly?”
“Not necessarily. Brother Wu is letting me look at it first. If I like it then we will talk about what comes after.”
Ji Yuxiao nodded while feeling a bit complicated.
