Chapter 502

The massive villa was in a state of utter chaos, inside and out.

The villa, once clean and tidy, was now a complete mess because there were no servants to clean it.

Lin Miao looked at the disarray before her; for the past two days, her brain had been buzzing, unable to calm down.

Her dream of being a chairman's wife, her dream of being the young lady of the Lin Family—they were all shattered!

The Lin Family had nothing left.

Lin Qi and Lin Xu both had pale faces, and the shouting from outside could be heard clearly, word by word.

Although Lin Qi was the eldest among them and a few years older, he had always been too well-protected by the family, and after graduating and entering a tech company, he had never experienced any setbacks; this was his first time facing such a world-upending change.

It was a stark contrast, like falling from heaven into hell in an instant.

Lin Qi's eyes were incredibly bloodshot. "None of us are to open the door, understand? Wait for Lin Bin to deal with these people. Also, Lin Bin said this villa of ours is to be sold to pay off debts. Once there is no one outside the door, we will take Mom and move, moving to the old house where Mom and Dad lived more than twenty years ago."

That old house was too old, so Lin Guanda hadn't sold it, claiming to the outside world that he wanted to keep it as a memento.

"The old house... Brother... has our Lin Family really reached this point? Can't those debts be paid off even by selling the entire company? And didn't you say you were going to start a company? Now, is there still money to start one?" Panic instantly flooded Lin Miao's heart.

Lin Xu looked at Lin Miao with a complex expression. "Stop dreaming. Can't you see what the situation is at home now? Our Lin Family is finished. Who knows what things will be like in the future? The debts are massive; how much money can a bankrupt company sell for? This villa won't sell for much money now, either."

"Let's talk about starting a company later; let's resolve the immediate situation first," Lin Qi said with a deep breath, sounding particularly powerless.

Their family was actually finished.

And Dad—the lawyer said he would be sentenced to ten or twenty years.

Chen Xiuyue, lying on the bed, had not eaten for two consecutive meals; the three children seemed to have forgotten her.

Already physically weak, she was even weaker because there was nothing in her stomach, and the faint odor coming from her body made her heart feel like dead ashes; she wanted to just die like this.

The shouting from outside, even though the three children hadn't told her anything, made her clearly understand one thing: Lin Guanda had been arrested by the police, the company had gone bankrupt, and their family's assets would be liquidated, followed by the repayment of huge debts.

Their family was truly finished!

At this moment, Chen Xiuyue wanted to live even less; she could almost imagine what she would face in the future—she would experience every bit of the torture that Shu Xia suffered in her dreams.

Just then, Lin Miao pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bag of bread.

Covering her nose and disgusted by the smell in the room, she said to Chen Xiuyue on the bed with little patience, "Mom, you should have heard what the situation is at home. Outside, there are people here to collect debts. We can't go out to buy groceries, there are no servants at home, and we can't even order takeout. We are eating bread too, so Mom, just make do with some bread and drink some water."

After speaking, she disgustedly placed the bread and water on the nightstand; Chen Xiuyue was only paralyzed and unable to move her lower body, but her hands could move. She didn't want to stay here smelling the odor while watching Chen Xiuyue eat.

She was annoyed to death right now.

She only felt that Chen Xiuyue was a burden.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, when there were few people outside, Lin Bin returned.

Seeing the mess in the house, Lin Bin's face turned as black as charcoal.

After being interrogated by the police for half a day and knowing that the house was surrounded by people, he had been running around outside, hoping to pay off the debts as soon as possible.
