Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 176 Charisma Wins You Over
Back then, Lin Zhentian was a gentleman with a refined and scholarly air. Soon, Lin Wan'er's mother was captivated by him. Furthermore, when she learned that the company Lin Zhentian wanted to cooperate with was a small company under her family's business, Lin Wan'er's mother felt that she had a chance. After several encounters with Lin Zhentian, Lin Wan'er's mother confessed her feelings to him.
At the time, Lin Zhentian only wanted to finalize the deal and quickly return to China to be with his wife. He already knew she was pregnant. However, when Lin Wan'er's mother learned he had a family, she still desperately wanted to be with him. It was at this time that Lin Wan'er's father, who loved his daughter dearly, used some unknown means to keep Lin Zhentian. Just as Lin Zhentian was determined to return to China, his pregnant wife called him, telling him she wanted a divorce and that she had lost the child.
In despair, Lin Wan'er's mother seized the opportunity to win Lin Zhentian's favor. However, after Lin Wan'er was born, Lin Zhentian overheard his father-in-law's conversation and learned that everything from back then was a lie. His father-in-law had threatened his own life to force his first wife to submit. Helpless, the first wife chose to compromise. Without Lin Zhentian's support in the domestic company, the first wife, a woman alone, quickly suffered suppression. Coupled with her longing for Lin Zhentian, she fell ill and passed away after giving birth to a daughter. The daughter's whereabouts were never heard from again.
Over the years, Lin Zhentian still refused to give up searching for his biological daughter. After many twists and turns, he finally locked onto someone in Jiangcheng, namely Chu Lan, which led to Lin Wan'er's forceful entry into Jiangcheng.
"So, the filial piety you perceive is just an act I put on with your grandfather so you wouldn't be hurt if you knew the truth. In fact, I hate him to the core!" Lin Zhentian's eyes flashed with hatred.
Lin Wan'er found it hard to accept this fact, and her throat choked as she said, "But he was always so good to you... Before he passed away, he paved the way for you in many ways. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to take over the family business so smoothly."
Lin Zhentian snorted coldly, "His so-called goodness is a manifestation of selfishness. If it weren't for him, Peipei wouldn't have become depressed and wouldn't have died, and my daughter wouldn't have been wandering for so many years!"
Lin Wan'er struggled painfully, "What about me? Do you hate me too? You hate Grandpa, you even hate Mom, do you hate me too? I'm your own daughter too!"
Hearing this, Lin Zhentian's expression softened slightly. "I don't blame you, and I certainly don't blame your mother, but your maternal grandfather was the instigator. Now that he's dead, I dare to come back to find my daughter."
"So you hate him to the bone and wish him dead!" Lin Wan'er looked at him in surprise.
Undeniably, only after Lin Wan'er's maternal grandfather died did he not worry that his daughter would suffer retaliation after he found her.
After learning Lin Zhentian's answer, Lin Wan'er was unable to accept the fact. She had always thought that she was born into a wealthy and loving family environment, but she never expected that the reality was so unbearable. She also never expected that Lin Zhentian had another daughter besides herself.
"So, you came here just to find your long-lost daughter, not to suppress the Xu Group!" Lin Wan'er questioned.
From beginning to end, she unconditionally trusted and obeyed Lin Zhentian like a fool, only to find out in the end that she was just a tool for him to find his daughter.
Lin Zhentian advised, "Wan'er, don't let the grudges between our parents affect you. My wanting to find my daughter doesn't mean I don't love you, do you understand?"
"I don't understand! And I can't accept that I have a half-sister!"
Lin Wan'er yelled at Lin Zhentian and slammed the door as she left.
Lin Zhentian watched her departing figure and sighed deeply. If he wanted to find his daughter as he wished, he had to get past Lin Wan'er. He didn't want his two biological daughters to be blinded by hatred like he had been in the past.
Moreover, Lin Wan'er has been spoiled over the years. If he keeps it a secret, he fears that Lin Wan'er will eventually take revenge on Chu Lan. He has to weigh both of them.
"Sir, this is what Miss found out about today. Please take a look."
The butler presented a document with both hands, which was exactly the same as the one in Lin Wan'er's hand.
Lin Zhentian glanced at it a few times and frowned. The butler continued to ask, "Should we intervene? Just in case that Chen Feng does something to harm Miss Chu..."
Lin Zhentian waved his hand, "Never mind, consider this a test for the men around her."
"What if..." the butler said worriedly.
Lin Zhentian stood up. "If someone from the Xu family in Beijing is this useless, then he is not worthy of my daughter!"
With that, Lin Zhentian turned and went back to his study, and the butler had no choice but to leave.
The next day, Lin Wan'er returned to the Meiyi Group, acting as if nothing had happened the day before, maintaining her usual work efficiency.
Just then, Xiaoqi knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss, what about this Chen Feng..."
Lin Wan'er raised an eyebrow, "Keep a close eye on him!"
"Yes!"
With that, Xiao Qi withdrew, and Lin Wan'er's eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions. It was time to meet this new older sister of hers.
Meanwhile, after sleeping at home for a night, Xu Tian got up early in the morning and called Chu Lan several times, but still couldn't get through. Helpless, he had no choice but to get up and go to the Xu Group again. Based on his understanding of Chu Lan, he knew she wouldn't neglect the company because of personal feelings.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, he found Chu Lan sitting on the sofa. Xu Tian rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after realizing that it really was Chu Lan, he quickly went over and hugged her.
"Where did you go? Do you know how worried I was about you?!"
Chu Lan hadn't slept all night, and his face was filled with a haggard look.
"I went out for a walk to clear my head," Chu Lan said, her voice still as gentle as ever.
Xu Tian panicked. The more calm Chu Lan remained under these circumstances, the more it meant that this matter was not over yet.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian quickly explained, "Yesterday I was just worried about Su Zhen's safety, afraid that angering him would cause something to happen to his body. I absolutely didn't mean anything else!"
"Okay, I'm really not angry anymore. I just couldn't figure it out yesterday. I'm back now~" Chu Lan said easily.
"Really?" Xu Tian was a little skeptical.
Chu Lan smiled gently, "Of course it's true. Besides, I'm confident in myself; my personal charm will win you over!"
Seeing that she had started joking with him, Xu Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I came back today because there are some very important things to discuss at the company," Chu Lan continued.
Xu Tian was puzzled. "You haven't had enough rest. I'll handle everything at the company."
Chu Lan smiled and shook his head, "No, I have to do this!"
Because Lin Wan'er, the president of the Mei Yi Group, wants to see her.
