Chapter 281 Qin Niannian's adoptive parents go to Gu's
"That damn girl actually ignored us, and Xiao Ruoya also went back on her word about the three million she promised. What should the old man do now? Otherwise, we will continue the live broadcast. I don’t believe those netizens will have the heart to see us being abandoned by our daughter and treat us like this..." Mother Lin's face was full of anxiety, her voice trembling, and she paced back and forth in the dim living room. The worn floor creaked under her feet.
Qin Dashan sat aside, his brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, then slammed the butt into the ashtray full of ash, sending ashes flying everywhere. "Live broadcast? Humph, wasn't the last live broadcast incident a big enough fuss? Don't you know what netizens' attitude towards us is now?
"But what can we do? How can we live without money? My daughter is unreliable, so we can only rely on netizens." Lin's mother stopped, her eyes full of helplessness and unwillingness, and sat down on the chair opposite Lin's father, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes.
If it weren't for them, Qin Niannian would have starved to death. At first, they treated her like their own daughter. Later, they found out that she was pregnant, so they had their own child. They were not so close to Qin Niannian anymore, but at least they treated her well! It's just that the wife of the couple was addicted to gambling. When the debt collectors came to their house, they betrayed their conscience and gave Qin Niannian to the debt collectors.
Old Liu was a notorious scoundrel, not only lazy and greedy, but also harboring ill intentions towards young girls. If he brought Qin Niannian home, he would definitely make things difficult for her, and would beat and scold her if he was not satisfied. This was the first time they were preparing to pay off their debts.
Mo Wanting stood up. If she hadn't taken out 100,000 yuan to redeem Qin Niannian and pay off our debts, they originally thought that Qin Niannian was a money-loser. But they never expected that Qin Niannian would actually marry the president of Gu Corporation, but she was unwilling to give a betrothal gift to her brother. It's not their fault!
"This damn girl, now that she's married into a rich family, has forgotten our kindness in raising her. She even refuses to pay for her brother's betrothal gift. Did we raise her in vain?!" Mother Lin said gritting her teeth.
Father Lin also had a gloomy face. "No, we can't just let it go. She is the young lady of the Gu family now. This little money means nothing to her. Otherwise, let's go find Qin Niannian. We are also her adoptive parents. If it weren't for us, how could she be the wife of the president of Gu Corporation?
After some discussion, the two decided to go look for Qin Niannian again. They arrived at Qin Niannian's luxurious villa in the city center and were stopped by the security guard at the door. Lin's mother immediately started to throw a tantrum, "Why won't you let us in? I'm Qin Niannian's mother. Now that she's rich, she wants to disown us?"
The security guard had no choice but to call Gu Yujue: "Master, there is a couple at the door. They claim to be the young lady's adoptive parents. They came to see the young lady, but I didn't let them in. How do you think we can resolve this matter?"
Gu Yujue frowned after hearing this. He hadn't even come to settle accounts with them yet, and they came knocking on his door. So he quickly said, "Let them in. I'll be there soon.
After the security guard put down the phone, he came to the door and said, "You can go in."
Lin's father and mother exchanged a triumphant glance and swaggered into the villa. They were stunned by the lavish decorations inside: the crystal chandeliers shone brightly, the marble floors gleamed, and valuable paintings and exquisite ornaments were everywhere.
"Hmph, this damn girl, she's living such a good life now, but she doesn't care about us at all. She has no conscience at all." Mother Lin looked around greedily and complained bitterly.
They sat down on the sofa in the living room. Mother Lin picked up the imported fruit on the coffee table and started to eat it. The juice flowed down the corners of her mouth and dripped onto the expensive carpet.
Not long after, Gu Yujue came to the living room and saw the old couple. The old couple said flatteringly: "Oh, President Gu, we finally have you here. You are our Nian Nian's great benefactor. Look at this villa, it's so grand. It's a blessing for Nian Nian to be able to follow you." Father Lin's face was full of smiles, his eyes narrowed into slits, and that smile seemed to be able to squeeze out honey.
Gu Yujue frowned slightly, his eyes filled with disgust, and ignored their flattery. He walked straight to the sofa, looked down at the two uninvited guests, and said in a voice as cold as winter ice: "What on earth do you want to do here?"
Mother Lin quickly put down the half-eaten fruit in her hand, wiped her hands on her clothes, stepped forward and said, "President Gu, look, we are Nian Nian's parents. Although we are not her biological children, we raised her with all our heart and soul. Now our family has run into a big problem. Her brother is getting married, and we are still a long way from the betrothal money. You and Nian Nian are so rich now, why don't you just give us a helping hand and give us 10 million yuan so that we can also benefit from it?"
"Ten million?" Gu Yujue sneered. "You're really asking for too much. Do you know that when you sold Nian Nian to someone else to pay for your gambling debts, you never imagined that this day would come? I tell you, if you hadn't adopted her, I'd have thrown you into the mountains to feed the wolves long ago.
When Father Lin heard this, the fat on his face trembled, and he forced a smile. "President Gu, please be magnanimous. Those were all foolish things in the past. Look, we are a family and we don't have to talk about each other. Nian Nian is living such a good life now. She definitely doesn't want her brother's life to be delayed, right?"
Before Gu Yujue could speak, Qin Niannian slowly walked down the stairs, her eyes cold. "Why did you adopt me in the first place? Wasn't it because you couldn't get pregnant? Didn't you adopt me just so you could get pregnant? When I was in your house, I didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes. I ate leftovers and wore old clothes that others didn't want."
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Lin's mother's face, but she still said stubbornly, "Niannian, how can you say that? No matter what, we raised you."
"Raised me?" Qin Niannian's voice trembled slightly with anger. "At first, I thought you were just favoring boys over girls, but facts have proved that I am the outsider. You lost a lot of money gambling and owed usury, and what happened? You actually sold me to that bald brother, who was already over 60 years old. If it weren't for Yi Yi, who emptied our family savings and spent 100,000 yuan to let me escape from your den.
Father Lin tried to change the subject, saying with a smile, "Niannian, let's not talk about the past. The most urgent matter now is your brother's betrothal gift. Look, as long as you come up with this 10 million, we can still be a family."
"Who says you and your family are family?!" Gu Yujue's eyes revealed endless contempt. "People like you don't deserve to talk about family affection. You will do anything for money."
Qin Niannian said with great sorrow, "You saved me, I admit, but I have never had enough to eat since I was a child. If it weren't for my grandma taking care of me and giving me a bite to eat, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today."
Gu Yujue said casually: "I can give you 500,000 yuan, just as if I had bought out the so-called family relationship between you. From now on, don't appear in front of us again."
When Mr. and Mrs. Lin heard the three words "five hundred thousand", a glimmer of greed flashed in their eyes, but they soon started shouting in pretended dissatisfaction.
"Five hundred thousand? This is too little! We raised her with great difficulty, how can this little money be enough?" Lin's mother put her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her voice.
