Chapter 192: The Uncle's Family Went to the Police Station

~7 min read 1,307 words

Hahaha! Cousin, you're so talented!

At this moment, inside the big G vehicle that had already driven off, Xu Yixiao laughed until he slapped his thigh, and Lin Cuihua beside him likewise couldn't restrain the smile on her face.

Lin Meng curled her lips and said:

This is just the beginning! Their abacus beads are about to hit my face; charging him fifty thousand is still lenient. I will make them realize what price they pay for coveting what they shouldn't!

Xu Yixiao clapped and praised: "Well said! Just pretend he doesn't have this uncle, and I'll pretend I don't have this uncle. Mom, from now on we'll cut ties with that family."

Lin Cuihua nodded, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"It should have been cut off long ago; I was foolish to still cling to that impossible familial affection." She looked at Lin Meng, a flash of guilt crossing her eyes.

Looking at Lin Jianyang's behavior, he surely bullied Lin Meng before; it's her uselessness as an aunt that she didn't help at all.

Lin Meng seemed to sense her aunt's mood, smiling as she said:

"Cutting ties is great; there's also second uncle and fourth uncle, none of them are any good—I've long treated them as nonexistent."

"But over the years they've gotten nothing from me either; Grandpa's ancestral home is still in my name. Aunt, rest assured—I'll be your natal family from now on, I'll be your backing."

Lin Meng's words almost made Lin Cuihua burst into tears.

She wiped her tears while controlling her emotions.

After years of pent-up grievance being released, Lin Cuihua felt as if she had been reborn today.

On Lin Jianyang's side, the three were ruthlessly flung by the chauffeur to the curb, where they were now arguing with a few security guards at the gate.

"Do you know who we are? We'll be the esteemed owners here; believe it or not, once we move in, we'll file the first complaint against you, costing you your jobs!"

Wang Fang sprayed saliva as she spoke, having a knack for unreasonable entanglement.

Lin Jianyang's face also turned ashen; he realized Lin Meng had played him—he not only lost fifty thousand, but was blocked from entering, his schemes came to nothing, losing both wife and troops.

"Enough! Keep quiet, I'll handle the negotiations with them!"

Lin Jianyang suppressed his anger and kicked Wang Fang out, then tried to communicate himself.

He took out his phone, which showed Lin Meng's number, and said to the security guard:

"It's like this: I am Lin Meng's uncle; we just had a family dispute. This is a family matter—if you don't believe me, you can check. See whether Lin Meng came from Yun Cheng."

The security guard, as if hearing a joke, joked:

"Don't you have your niece's phone number? Call her; if she says she can let you go, we won't stop you naturally."

Lin Jianyang felt embarrassed; he dared not call Lin Meng directly, as he had already been blocked!

The sky gradually darkened, looking like it was about to rain.

Outside, Lin Qianqian gazed unwillingly at the road ahead leading to wealth and status, her expression gradually twisting.

This scene was remarkably similar; the first time she came to Jing Shi, intending to replace Lin Meng in visiting the Ye Family, she was likewise tossed aside by the driver, watching Lin Meng drive off.

Anger, resentment, and nameless fire burned fiercely in Lin Qianqian's chest; suddenly she felt her parents before her were especially obstructive and useless.

Wang Fang could no longer bear it, rushing into the security detail to cause a scene.

Lin Meng brought her aunt and cousin to the villa; before they were settled, she heard that someone was causing trouble at the mountain's base and had been taken away by police.

She curled her lips and paid no heed.

Let them toss about; she needn't lift a finger, for with their family's conduct and rudeness, they'd be unwelcome anywhere.

That is, in the village, villagers mostly bully the weak and fear the strong, or simply fawn over the wealthy.

Outside that village, however, no one indulges them.

Lin Cuihua and Xu Yixiao hadn't expected Lin Meng to live in such a luxurious villa; after touring it, both wore looks of pride and relief.

"My sister really is impressive—she can thrive even in this land of sky-high prices."

Lin Meng chuckled: "You're the one who knows how to talk; after you graduate, come find me and hang out with me."

Xu Yixiao waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing that, very tactful.

"No way—I won't add trouble for my sister; if I ever truly can't get by, I'll come ask you to take me in, but I don't think that day will come, hahaha..."

Lin Cuihua also smiled and said:

"Seeing you happy and carefree puts my mind at ease; from now on, just give me a heads-up for anything, and I'll definitely come see you in Li Shi."

"Right, Xiao Xiao, quickly open the suitcase and take out all the special products you brought for Xiao Meng."

Lin Cuihua was like a mother visiting her far-traveling daughter, pulling out item after item of local specialties bearing care from the luggage, many of which she had made herself.

Lin Meng was deeply moved, accepting them one by one.

The next day, Lin Meng took her aunt and cousin out for fun, and on the way had her aunt pay respects at Ling Qing Si to her grandfather's memorial tablet, telling him.

As for the matter of her grandfather's dream, Lin Meng didn't tell her aunt, fearing she'd overthink and add another worry; some people's thoughts, when hidden, easily fester.

Lin Meng enjoyed herself thoroughly; meanwhile, Lin Jianyang and his group, after being taken to the police station, were supposed to be let go after a brief education.

Who would have thought Lin Jianyang and Wang Fang were both hotheaded weaklings; the officer's remark—"That's your niece's house, not yours"—hit their sore spots precisely, instantly igniting their anger, causing them to run wild in the station and even strike one of the officers.

Now it's come to this: instead of just a few words of education, they were arrested on the spot and detained for fifteen days.

Lin Qianqian, furious, cursed her parents for a whole hour inside the iron cage.

"How did I end up with parents like you? Can't you stop bringing the village's stubbornness out here? Do you still think this is Lin Jia Cun?"

"My life is now tainted—are you trying to ruin me?"

Lin Jianyang and Wang Fang were so angry they couldn't speak; coincidentally, their eldest son's phone wouldn't go through, and no one came to bail them out of the station.

Upon hearing this, Lin Meng happily opened a bottle of champagne on the spot with her aunt and cousin.

Three days later, her aunt and cousin were set to depart back to Li Shi.

They were reluctant to part, yet they knew everyone eventually has their own lives and cannot constantly impose.

Over these days together, Lin Meng constantly accompanied them, neglecting her own affairs, which made them feel uneasy.

If Lin Meng knew her aunt and cousin were leaving because they feared disturbing her, she would surely feel ashamed.

They didn't know she was just an unemployed drifter who made her fortune by reselling goods, and aside from occasionally wandering between three spaces, she had nothing pressing to attend to.

Before Ye Fan returned to the sect, her cultivation progress also didn't need to be rushed.

However, in the end, the aunt and cousin still decided to leave.

After seeing them off on the plane, Lin Meng returned to the villa alone.

After thinking, she prepared to explore the weird world again tonight.
