Chapter 297: Mom and Dad Know They Were Wrong

Just listen to his tone—he's so pleased.

The front desk staff isn't panicking.

Come on, have some shame—you're already halfway into the coffin, how can you be so disgusting?

Lin Xinyuan really had the worst luck of eight lifetimes to end up with foster parents like you!

The front desk staff spoke up in protest.

He was already boiling with anger, wondering where to vent, when these two showed up.

So the front desk staff didn't hold back and gave them a thorough scolding.

Lin Hui Teng and his wife had their heads ringing from the scolding; they never expected this little girl to have such a sharp tongue.

Her tongue left them completely worthless, making it so he wanted to retort but couldn't.

The point is, he kept opening his mouth, clearly wanting to scold the front desk staff.

But who knew that once the little girl started talking, one sentence after another, they couldn't get a word in edgewise!

The woman panicked; although his face was a bit ferocious, being scolded left him feeling embarrassed.

What they said also makes sense; they had already signed some contract saying Lin Xinyuan would no longer be their foster son, and now that they see him successful, they rush to squeeze money out of him—really underhanded!

The front desk staff's words also make sense.

The woman tugged at the man beside her and muttered quietly: "What he said sounds reasonable; I also think we're being inappropriate."

"Otherwise…" the woman frowned, seeing the crowd gathering, it was obvious he wanted to leave.

Feeling that staying here would be utterly embarrassing!

But that man flatly refused.

"Why should we leave? We're conscience‑clear; why must we leave just because of one sentence from him?"

"And you forgot our destination? Before I see Lin Xinyuan, I can't just leave easily!" Lin Hui Teng was determined to stay until he saw Lin Xinyuan, unwilling to leave no matter what.

His shameless face had already been exposed by the front desk staff; he only turned pale for a moment, then, in the blink of an eye, he put his hands on his hips, held his head high, and puffed out his chest.

So shameless!

"If you apologize now, I can reluctantly let you off this once and won't quarrel with a little girl like you—but if you keep talking, don't blame me for not being polite later!"

"Especially after my son arrives, you'd better pack up and roll out your bedding!"

Lin Hui Teng pointed and gestured at the front desk staff.

The front desk staff couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and retorted: "Anyone who didn't know would think your son is our CEO!"

"Even if that were true, if he really stood on the side of someone as overbearing and unreasonable as you, I'd quit outright—I wouldn't want to work at a company like this."

"Besides, you're not our CEO's father, and our boss would never tolerate someone like you causing trouble here!"

"I advise you to get ready mentally; when our boss comes down, he'll very likely call the police."

The little girl lifted her smile, each sentence colder and more ruthless than the last.

Lin Hui Teng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

In his mind appeared the image of Jiang Cheng's extremely gloomy face from last time, even his whole body exuding intense chill.

Not long after, his whole body shivered; he felt a bit afraid.

He was actually quite afraid of Jiang Cheng's face.

Especially when the other's gaze fell on him, his eyes showed undisguised contempt and disgust.

Staring straight at him, looking at him made him feel creepy to the bone.

What happened last time is still vivid in his memory, and he remembers it clearly.

This time, feeling fear, he shuddered, then forced himself to stay calm with an arrogant expression.

"The past is the past, the present is the present. Now my son's status is different—even your boss has to be polite to me; if he dares to criticize me, I'll have my son pack up and leave right away!"

"As for you… I advise you to just behave yourself!"

"Really?"

A cold voice came from behind; the front desk staff immediately fawned over and ran to Jiang Cheng's side: "Boss, I tried hard to stop them, but these two insisted on spouting nonsense there—I was worried they'd affect the company, so I had no choice but to call you down here."

"How should we deal with these two? Should we call the police?" Jiang Cheng placed his hand on his shoulder, indicating no need to call the police yet.

!

The front desk staff understood and stood silently beside Jiang Cheng.

Lin Xinyuan, who arrived late, saw this so‑called foster‑parent pair and his eyes filled with coldness.

He didn't want any contact with them at all!

But he really couldn't understand why these people insisted on hounding him incessantly.

Why must they keep coming to cause him trouble?

Lin Xinyuan's temper had turned volatile: "What are you two doing here? Didn't we already say we're severed, with no ties from now on?" He frowned, puzzled at them, feeling they were clearly after money.

It's nothing more than seeing he has a bit of use and wanting to keep exploiting him.

Lin Hui Teng gave a fawning smile: "What are you talking about? You're my son—coming to see you is perfectly normal!"

"Besides, I heard you've been busy these days; as your parents we naturally worry about your health, so we specially boiled a chicken soup—we took three whole hours to bring it over, you'd better drink it while it's hot!"

"Look at your mother—she's always cared for you, but our old way of showing concern was wrong; let's apologize here, hope you can forgive us, we'll let bygones be bygones and live well from now on—what do you think?"

Lin Hui Teng lifted the so‑called chicken soup in his hand, struggled a bit, and under Jiang Cheng's gaze the security guard released his grip.

Lin Hui Teng glanced up at the two guards with his nose in the air.

He held the chicken soup and walked up to Lin Xinyuan: "How can there be an overnight grudge between parents and child?"

"So I hope we can get along well—what do you think?"

As soon as he came up, he launched into a long spiel.

Lin Xinyuan gave him a cold sneer.

"How can you say that?" Lin Xinyuan's cold gaze swept up and down over Lin Hui Teng and the woman standing beside him.

His eyes showed undisguised disgust.

He asked: "You came rushing here so shamelessly—could it be because… you see I now have some use value?" (End of chapter)
