After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 198

Su Jianhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "That's right. Your mother and I liked Lin Ling a lot back then, and he had a good temper and the temperament to do great things."

“However, he didn’t want us to adopt him. Instead, he kept praising you. Your mother and I discussed it and decided to adopt you.”

"After all, although you are not as good as Lin Ling, you are very obedient and considerate, and you are more suitable to be a good daughter."

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Su Qingyan burst into tears.

Now she was completely certain of just how much Lin Ling had sacrificed for her.

Su Jianhong sighed: "You really should thank Lin Ling. Without him, we probably wouldn't have adopted you."

"But there's no need to blame yourself too much. You are my daughter now, while Lin Ling is just an outsider. The past is the past."

"Time doesn't turn back, and there's no chance to do it all over again."

“You, Su Qingyan, are my, Su Jianhong’s, rightful daughter.”

With tears welling in her eyes, Su Qingyan hugged Su Jianhong, deeply moved: "Dad, I love you, I love Mom, thank you both."

"If it weren't for you, I would never have achieved what I have today."

"Don't overthink it." Su Jianhong sneered, his tone unfriendly. "It's also fortunate that we didn't adopt that ingrate Lin Ling."

“Look at the Lin family, they’ve been thrown into chaos by him, and now he’s going to jail for hiring someone to kill someone because of his involvement with the underworld.”

"I don't want to be implicated by adopting such a beast."

“After all the trouble Lin Ling caused when she returned to the Lin family a few years ago, your mother and I are glad we didn’t adopt her back then.”

"Dad... are you trying to comfort me?" Su Qingyan choked up. "After all, Lin Ling started from scratch and built Lingyun Group into a multi-billion dollar conglomerate."

"In just seven years, it has surpassed the Su Group."

"Hmph! So what if he's capable? Look at the Lin family, where have they benefited from his influence?" Su Jianhong snorted angrily, "On the contrary, he's the one who's targeting them."

Su Qingyan nodded; what Su Jianhong said made sense.

But then she remembered how the Lin family had abused and beat Lin Ling, and gritted her teeth, saying, "But the Lin family didn't treat him well... so it's only natural that he retaliated."

"Of all things, parents are the greatest." Su Jianhong said angrily, "No matter what your parents are like, you children can't turn your back on them."

"Dad, I understand." Su Qingyan said softly, "I will never be like him. I will always be your good daughter."

"Lin Ling let the news about Xinhe Salt Lake slip to me, so he must know more inside information. I plan to go to the police station to ask him about it."

"However, it seems that Lin Ling has not left the police station in a rage despite the stock market crash, which means he is not in a hurry to sell."

"When you go to see him, be careful," Su Jianhong solemnly instructed. "Don't let him take his anger out on the Su family."

Su Qingyan gritted her teeth: "Actually, Lin Ling isn't that bad..."

"Not that bad? He wanted to destroy our Su Group, and you say he's not that bad?" Su Jianhong waved his hand angrily: "Don't be grateful to him for giving you the adoption opportunity."

"Remember, it was I who adopted you, not him."

"You were raised by your mother and me, not him!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyan was stunned, and most of her guilt dissipated.

Yup!

He was raised by his own parents, who supported him through college and made him the president of the Su Group. Why should he feel so guilty towards Lin Ling?

She nodded: "Dad, I understand. I'll go to the police station to see him."

She left the Su Group and, with mixed feelings, went to the police station to see Lin Ling.

At this moment, Lin Ling sat quietly in a corner of the cell with a gloomy expression.

He didn't even notice Su Qingyan coming in.

Su Qingyan gritted her teeth and asked, "Lin Ling, are you alright?"
