“So what do you mean? Did he just have a scrape and act like he was in critical condition? And he got someone to film and expose it. Doesn’t that mean it was all self-directed by Father Lin?”
“D*mn, this is too much. His daughter, who has been missing for two years, has returned. How deep is the hatred for him to want to ruin his daughter’s reputation?”
“Look at the next post. That entertainment reporter is a paparazzi and has already spread rumors about a few celebrities. However, the reporter who counterattacked is a real-time reporter for social news. He is an official staff. And all the contents in his post are proven.”
“As the management of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, I’m here to give some answers. That day, Father Lin came to find Lin Wanli to fight. He attacked her as soon as he came and scolded his daughter for being cold-blooded and heartless. However, Lin Wanli called the hospital immediately and asked her doctor friend to take care of her parents. She had confirmed that her parents were only slightly injured before deciding not to go over. However, she still sent her assistant over to take care of them. I swear that everything I said was the truth because more than ten witnesses were at the scene.”
“After seeing all the evidence, how can Father Lin still be considered human? He was originally an ugly duckling that became a phoenix, but now he colluded with the paparazzi to slander his own daughter?”
“This person is not only an ugly duckling but also narrow-minded and vicious.” “Isn’t it embarrassing for the Lin Family to have such a son-in-law?” “After saying so much, did you apologize for scolding Lin Wanli last night?”
“He’s really too vicious. Oh my god, are ugly ducklings so disgusting? I really don’t know what Lin Xueyi saw in him! Why is she so blind? I suspect Lin Wanli’s accident two years ago had much to do with her father.”
“Disgusting, pui. How can such a person still have the face to live in this world?
Doesn’t he vomit when he looks at himself in the mirror?”
In a short time, from the moment the post was released, the situation had reversed. The amount of verbal abuse directed at Lin Wanli the previous night was equivalent to their sympathy toward her that day. Then, the netizens vented the rest of their anger by cursing Father Lin.
The Lin Family’s complaint phone line exploded very quickly. Everyone in the Lin Family also understood the entire story immediately.
Just then, Father Lin’s car stopped outside the company. The employees of the Lin Family watched him enter the main entrance and felt that he was a beast in human disguise.
On the surface, he was kind to everyone, but he was a jackal who could even plot against his daughter.
After Father Lin entered, he felt the strange gazes behind him. However, he thought it was because of Lin Wanli’s scandal the previous night and did not think it was because of him. After entering the elevator, everyone avoided him in unison. Someone whispered in the corner, “This beast in human disguise can still pretend that nothing happened and come to work as usual after he has been exposed.”
“Shh, aren’t you afraid he will hear you and wait for an opportunity to take revenge? The ugly duckling is very vengeful!”
“That’s right. He can even frame his daughter just because he wants to climb the social ladder. You better not bring trouble upon yourself.”
Father Lin clenched his fists tightly, his entire body trembling with shame and anger.
He knew those people were scolding him, but he didn’t know why.
Soon, they arrived at the office floor. Father Lin quickly exited the elevator and closed the door upon reaching his office. He wanted to take out his phone to see what had happened, but at that moment, the Vice President, who had always disagreed with him, walked in without knocking and said, “Hand over the case with Aurora to me.”
“Are you kidding me? I’ve been in charge of this case since the start.” Father Lin said angrily.
“You used to be, but from now on, you’re not. Don’t you know you’ve been fired by the Board of Directors?” The Vice President chuckled, looking extremely happy, “So the Lin Family’s son-in-law is a beast in human disguise? You can even plot against your daughter. Tsk tsk, that’s really an eye-opener.” Father Lin’s felt giddy when he heard that…
Because at that moment, there was only one word in his mind. Fired.
He couldn’t hear any other humiliation.
It was 9 a.m., and it was raining.
Not long after Aunt Qi took care of Youran to have her breakfast, Lin Wanli accompanied her daughter to do her early learning program. But the little girl was playing around in Lin Wanli’s arms.
“Mother, mother…”
“You really inherited your laziness from me.” Lin Wanli touched her little nose and smiled.
At that moment, Yan Qiu picked up Lin Wanli’s phone and handed it to her,
“Your father.”
Lin Wanli handed Youran to Yan Qiu and left the child’s room with her phone. Then, she heard Father Lin’s roar, “Lin Wanli, do you want me to die?” It seemed that the post had achieved its desired effect.
However, Lin Wanli would never forget the viciousness and disgust that man had when he abandoned her mother. He knew her mother had been taking medicine all year round but still used physical and verbal attacks daily, eventually leading to her mother’s suicide.
But wanting him dead? They were not even near yet.
Therefore, Lin Wanli pretended to be confused and answered Father Lin, “Dad,
I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Wasn’t it you who got a reporter to expose the matter? You b*tch! Your mother and I spent two years searching for you, and this is how you repay us?
You better clarify that I didn’t self-direct. I was framed by you.”
Lin Wanli was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone. Then, she asked Father Lin seriously, “Dad, are you sure you want me to clarify things for you?”
She had asked in a solemn tone, but…
But she seemed to be smiling and frivolous.
“Of…” Before he could say the word ‘course,’ Father Lin was stunned. He could not trust Lin Wanli easily. She was vicious and full of schemes. He could not let her get any chance.
“On account of our father-daughter relationship, it’s not like I can’t help you…”
“No, I don’t need it. You vicious b*tch, I really regret giving birth to you. I’ll tell your mother everything you’ve done and see what a good daughter she has raised. Back then, when I found out you were a girl, I should have let her have a miscarriage without hesitation.” After he finished speaking, Father Lin hung up the phone. He didn’t know why, but he subconsciously felt apprehensive when facing Lin Wanli.
Therefore, he couldn’t take the risk of scheming against Lin Wanli again. He needed to save himself first.
The Lin Family’s intention of firing him was clear, and the higher- ups also had a powerful excuse. His painstaking efforts for more than 20 years were about to be destroyed. He had to think of a way to reverse the situation.
In the end, he called Ye Zhenzhen and her mother.
Lin Wanli put down her phone. Her expression was calm. Even if that trash was full of vulgarities, she was still calm. She would not be hurt by such words again. Because what happened to Father Lin had been deduced in her mind thousands of times.
It was just a temporary loss of reputation. She believed that the Ye Family’s mother and daughter would definitely think of a way to reverse the situation for him. But what to do? As long as he dared to make a move, she would have a thousand ways to make him return to hell and suffer every day until he regretted being human.
“President Lin, for your father’s matter, do we still need to add fuel to the fire?” Yan Qiu asked from behind Lin Wanli.
“Does he need me to add? He’s already courting death.” That ugly duckling had done many deeds to cheat the Lin Family’s daughter. She had them all recorded down for Father Lin.
She wanted Father Lin to stay in the drain for the time being. The more he clarified, the smellier his reputation would be!
Because at that juncture, it was very easy to make Father Lin consigned to eternal damnation. However, if that were the case, revealing those secrets that Father Lin had hidden in the future would not be as interesting. Moreover…if that sc*mbag felt restricted and worried every day, he would no longer be in the mood to act. Then, her mother would soon sense the difference in treatment from that sc*mbag.
The beast had to take off his mask on his own….
