Chapter 44: The Overbearing Yuan Family

Early the next morning, Lin Ying'er changed into a pink dress and twirled in front of Lin Yang.

"Brother, this is the dress Feiyan sister bought for me; do you like it?"

Lin Yang looked at Lin Ying'er, smiled, and said.

"Pretty, just like a little princess."

Lin Ying'er, being praised, laughed hahaha.

"You should also dress a bit more handsomely; Yuan Shu's sister-in-law is now a big boss."

Zhao Feiyan watched the happy-looking Lin Ying'er, her expression complex; she almost spoke several times but was stopped each time by Lin Yang's gaze.

"Feiyan sister, change your clothes and come with us."

Zhao Feiyan shook her head and said, "My company still has things to handle; you go ahead."

Lin Yang took his sister out, got on the bus, and headed toward the Yuan family following the route from memory.

"Brother, this time you're back, have you visited the Yuan family?"

When they got off the bus and walked toward the villa district where Yuan Shu lived, Lin Ying'er asked.

"No, I didn't have time."

Lin Ying'er gave him a white eye, then went to the roadside fruit stall, bought a fruit basket, and picked some more fruit.

"Look at you, it's your first visit in six years, and you don't even know to bring a gift—showing up empty-handed?"

Seeing the precocious Lin Ying'er, Lin Yang smiled helplessly and said.

"Yes, it's my lack of etiquette; I was careless."

Then he accompanied Lin Ying'er in picking some fruit.

The siblings carried several bags of fruit and headed toward the Yuan family.

The Yuan family's row of small villas looked exquisite from the outside.

When they acquired this villa back then, Lin Yang's father also contributed money.

At that time, Lin Tiannan laughed and said, "This is just the gift I bought for my daughter-in-law."

If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Yang and Yuan Shu might actually be married now.

As Lin Yang was reminiscing, Lin Ying'er shouted.

"Brother, what are you thinking? You're not scared at the door, are you?"

"When you were little, you treated Uncle Yuan's house as your own."

Hearing that, Lin Yang rubbed Lin Ying'er's head, walked to the door, and pressed the doorbell.

When the door opened, Lin Yang was stunned.

The person who opened the door saw Lin Yang's mouth curl up as well.

He took the initiative to speak, greeting Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, it's only been a few days; you don't recognize me anymore?"

"Su Cheng, how are you here?"

Facing Lin Yang's doubt, Su Cheng laughed and said.

"Uncle Yuan invited me as a guest, so I naturally came."

"Please come in quickly; Uncle Yuan and Yuan Shu are waiting inside."

Seeing Su Cheng's energetic appearance, Lin Yang felt somewhat doubtful.

Logically, the Su family should be bankrupt now; Su Cheng definitely wouldn't be like this.

"Brother, what are you thinking? Let's go inside."

Only then did Lin Yang come to his senses, bringing Lin Ying'er into the Yuan family.

After they entered, Lin Ying'er, holding the fruit, showed a sweet smile and looked at Yuan Benchu sitting in the living room.

"Uncle Yuan, I and my brother bought some fruit; let me wash a few for you."

Yuan Benchu, wearing casual clothes at home, furrowed his brows at Lin Ying'er.

"It's Ying'er; just put it there—our family only eats imported fruit."

Lin Ying'er's smile instantly froze; feeling wronged, she returned to Lin Yang's side.

Seeing this, Yuan Benchu also didn't think much of it.

He looked at Lin Yang and spoke.

"Your sister's mental illness is just fine; I speak bluntly, so I shouldn't hurt her."

Lin Ying'er lowered her head and gripped Lin Yang's hand tightly.

Hearing that, Lin Yang furrowed his brows.

"If you have something to say to me, just say it; there's no need to involve Ying'er."

Yuan Benchu furrowed his brows, about to scold, but was tugged by Yuan Shu beside him.

He said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll get straight to the point."

"I heard from Su Cheng that you know some medicine; are you planning to open a clinic?"

Hearing that, Lin Yang looked toward Su Cheng.

Su Cheng shrugged and said, "I didn't make it up, did I?"

Seeing Lin Yang not refute, Yuan Benchu continued.

"That's fine; if you're doing business, the whole southwest won't tolerate you, after all, you're a stray dog."

"If you open a clinic, I can give you 100,000 yuan as support."

Hearing Yuan Benchu's words, Lin Yang also bluntly asked.

"Given your profit-driven nature, there must be some conditions."

Yuan Benchu, upon hearing, slapped the table and rebuked.

How dare you speak to elders like that!

It seems Su Cheng was right; after meeting the Lu family's young lady, you don't even know your own surname!

I tell you, the Lu family's mansion will collapse!

If you think the Lu family can be your backing, you won't even know how you die!

Lin Yang glanced at Su Cheng; these words were obviously told to Yuan Benchu by him.

Su Cheng wasn't feeling guilty either; he said with a smile.

Don't look at me like that; did I say something wrong?

You're just relying on the Lu family's influence to act mighty, aren't you?

And you even used the Lu family to suppress my Su family; I tell you, there are still people in the southwest who aren't afraid of the Lu family!

After saying that, he looked at Lin Yang with a smug expression.

At this moment, Yuan Shu also spoke up.

Lin Yang, as a man you should have your own career; you can't always rely on a woman.

My father gave you 100,000 for your own good.

If you relied on yourself, who knows how long it would take to earn that 100,000.

Looking at the Yuan father and daughter, then at the smug Su Cheng.

What do you want to do? Just say it straight.

Yuan Benchu stood up, looking at Lin Yang smugly.

Then I'll say it straight: Su Cheng is talented at a young age, has an excellent family background, and is very suitable for Yuan Shu.

Your previous marriage to Yuan Shu was just a whim of the old man; it basically doesn't count.

I'll give you 100,000; just sign your name on the termination agreement!

Saying that, he had someone bring out the document and place it in front of Lin Yang.

Lin Yang, upon hearing that, let out a cold laugh and said.

You'd better keep that 100,000 for yourself to treat your illness; if you want to terminate the contract, just have the old man come and tell me.

Yuan Shu instantly flew into a rage, looking at Lin Yang and said.

Lin Yang, no matter what, my father is also your elder; how can you speak to him like that!

Elder?

Lin Yang let out a cold laugh, looked at Yuan Benchu and said.

Do you now, whenever it's cold, feel itchy all over, and have some hard-to-get-rid-of lumps on your waist?

Yuan Benchu, upon hearing that, asked in surprise.

How do you know?

Lin Yang said: "I also know that your disease is contagious and very hard to cure."

If you leave it untreated, within a month the Yuan family will be in mourning.

Yuan Shu's face changed, and she loudly rebuked.

You're talking nonsense; my father's health is excellent!

You're just spouting nonsense!

Lin Yang let out a cold laugh, looked toward Su Cheng.

Su Cheng, tell me, would I be spouting nonsense about this?

At this moment, Su Cheng had already stood up and distanced himself from Yuan Benchu.

After hearing Lin Yang's words, his face changed somewhat, and he finally said.

Uncle Yuan, you should still go to the hospital for a check-up.

Yuan Shu looked at Su Cheng in disbelief and questioned.

Su Cheng, what do you mean?

Lin Yang laughed and said: "He's advising you based on his own experience."

If he had listened to me back then, he wouldn't have later knelt before me begging me to save his grandfather, and ended up watching his grandfather die, right, Su Cheng?

Su Cheng's face instantly turned a shade paler.
