Chapter 1353 - 670: Sullen? Turning Against Each Other (2)

Just seeing her daughter pretending to be obedient, acting like she’s harmless and very sensible.

Lin Shufen knew very well that her daughter was totally putting on an act.

She wasn’t like this at all normally, but rather a fiery-tempered, unruly little rebel.

In contrast, Wang Wenzhong was all smiles, his face beaming with joy.

"Shu Yao, it’s good that you realize your mistake. Dad believes you wouldn’t do anything excessive. If someone misunderstood you, it’s their fault. It’s not your mistake. After all, you’re so obedient and sensible, how could you intentionally lie or make things up."

As he spoke, he gave Lin Shufen a meaningful glance, clearly believing his daughter’s words.

Obviously thinking that his ex-wife wanted to push their daughter onto him, but couldn’t say it directly, so she went through all these complicated turns.

Lin Shuyao listened, her eyes reddening, almost about to cry.

"Dad, speaking of which, I’ve been staying with you these past few days because of mom’s issues, causing you trouble, I truly feel uneasy about it. I also know I shouldn’t be so thoughtless. But you’ve been too good to me, making me feel fatherly love... That’s why I couldn’t help but stay at your place for a few more days."

Watching the young girl go increasingly overboard with her words.

Luo Fei and Li Yu were already getting goosebumps, as her act was quite overdone.

But looking at Wang Wenzhong.

Perhaps because he never had other children, and his only daughter hadn’t been by his side for over ten years, he was overflowing with fatherly love now, and quickly comforted her.

"Daughter, stop crying, it’s Dad’s fault. After all these years, Dad hasn’t been by your side, owing you far too much. These are things I should have been doing."

"Rest assured, Dad will do everything possible to make it up to you in the future. I want you to feel the warmth of home even more!"

But looking at this warm scene of father and daughter reuniting.

Lin Shufen was starting to boil over with anger.

"Lin Shuyao, how dare you. I told you not to ask your father for money, yet you fabricated lies. You even claimed I hit you, you shameless child, search your conscience. Have I ever touched a finger on you all these years raising you!"

"I really don’t understand how, after scrimping and saving to support your education, I raised someone like you. Did a dog eat your conscience?"

At first, it was just those things.

But thinking about how she saved all her earnings each month to pay for her daughter’s tuition and living expenses, while her own monthly expenses were just five hundred.

Lin Shufen was driven to tears.

Looking at her on the verge of breakdown.

Wang Wenzhong quickly reminded her.

"Lin Shufen, really? You’re not young anymore. Crying over something so trivial, it’s not that big of a deal."

"Don’t get upset, since the misunderstanding is resolved, let’s consider it done. Daughter, apologize to your mom. How about Dad takes you to buy the latest model Fruit 18 phone afterwards?"

Hearing this.

Lin Shuyao was initially a bit unwilling but immediately beamed with joy.

She also sweetly kissed her father’s cheek with a smack.

"Dad, I knew you’re the best!"

"I also know Mom didn’t intentionally get mad at me earlier. After all, she’s raised me alone for over ten years, probably can’t tolerate me anymore. Now she has a chance to let me go, she’s surely glad about it~"

As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Lin Shufen, the expression wholly smug.

But seeing Lin Shuyao’s proud expression.

Beside, Wang Wenzhong seemed to completely believe her words.

Lin Shufen felt deeply hurt inside.

It felt like the child she raised for 20 years was now betraying her, joining with a stranger to provoke her.

"Wang Wenzhong, this matter isn’t as simple as you think."

"You have no idea how hard it is being a single mother! I just want my daughter to apologize for slandering me, that’s all!"

But seeing him seething with anger.

Face full of excitement.

Wang Wenzhong immediately changed his face to cold.

"Lin Shufen, what do you mean? You think I’m guilty for what I owe you these years? So you’re dissatisfied?"

"I get it, you just want money right? No problem, I can give it to you, consider it compensation for these years, will you be satisfied now?"

But seeing him take out the checkbook, planning to write a check.

Lin Shufen immediately stopped him.

"Wang Wenzhong, what I’m saying isn’t for money!"

Yet no matter how she explained.

Wang Wenzhong just couldn’t understand her maternal sentiment.

Instead waved dismissively.

"Alright alright, don’t waste words on me, I’m busy with work. I’ll have a lawyer call later, calculate all the child support I owe you over the years. Transfer all the money to you. After this, she’ll stay with me so you don’t have to worry. You’ll be completely relieved, right?"

Wang Wenzhong waved his hand dismissively, showing impatience on his face.

Lin Shufen couldn’t hold back and completely exploded.

"Wang Wenzhong, let me make myself clear, what’s this nonsense you’re saying, this matter isn’t at all like you think!"

As Lin Shufen spoke, her face changed, but the more anxious she got, the more incoherent she became.

Wang Wenzhong didn’t say much, just raised his hand to gesture.

"Is one million enough, if not, how about two million?"

"..."

At this moment.

Lin Shufen was almost mad with rage, completely speechless.

And Luo Fei also reminded her.

"Ms. Lin, because the focus of our police investigation is your daughter."

"So we might need to continue following up with your husband, I hope you don’t mind."

Just seeing that Luo Fei and they completely disregard this matter.

Lin Shufen was also a bit shocked.

"No, Officer, he said so many unpleasant words just now, is this matter just settled like that?"

At this moment.

Lin Shufen was truly shaky with anger.

Looking at her suspicious gaze.

Luo Fei also said.

"Ms. Lin, after all, this is your family matter, as outsiders we shouldn’t interfere too much."

"Unless you plan to accuse your husband of malicious slander? We could detain him for 48 hours?"

Hearing this.

Lin Shufen accepted it.

Though she stayed composed on the surface.

She just took a deep breath and said.

"I understand, Officer. Since you said so, let’s handle it your way."

Seeing her agree.

Luo Fei was all smiles.

"That’s right, Ms. Lin. Even if we’re stubborn and make things difficult for ourselves, we shouldn’t make things difficult with money."

After Luo Fei smoothed things over.

Lin Shufen finally left the office building.

Just as she reached the company entrance, hailed a taxi.

Luo Fei told her.

"Ms. Lin. Actually from the previous situation, you should’ve been able to notice."

"Your daughter is much smarter than you imagine. If we clash with her head-on, it’d only play into her hands. It’s actually unfavorable for the case investigation."

Luo Fei’s analysis made Lin Shufen realize.

"So Mr. Luo meant this."

Watching Lin Shufen’s surprise, seemingly didn’t expect such an arrangement.

Luo Fei also quickly comforted her.

"Ms. Lin, I completely understand your feelings."

"But sometimes, we need to plan carefully so the truth can be clearly investigated."

Luo Fei’s words made Lin Shufen feel a surge of gratitude.

"Mr. Luo, thank you so much. What you said to me truly means a lot."

Seeing Lin Shufen express heartfelt gratitude.

Luo Fei quickly comforted her.

"Ms. Lin, you’re too kind. But to ensure the investigation goes smoothly in the coming period, I hope Ms. Lin can actively cooperate with the police. It’s better to hold off for now, this way, we can avoid suspicion, what do you think?"
