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

Chapter 524

Lin Tianwu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He quickly got up, dressed, and put on a fawning smile: "Thank you, Qingyan! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Su Qingyan waved her hand, too lazy to even look at him again: "Get lost, we'll talk about the specifics later."

Lin Tianwu bowed and scraped as he left. In the elevator, he looked at his disheveled reflection in the mirror, but his heart was filled with smugness.

He felt he had finally climbed the social ladder, and the Lin family was saved!

Back at the Lin family home, Lin Tianwu couldn't wait to tell his parents the "good news".

In the living room, Lin Zhengguo and Zhang Xiufang were so excited after hearing the news that they almost jumped up.

"Tianwu, you did a great job!"

Lin Zhengguo slammed his hand on the table, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy: "Su Qingyan is now Lu Yinan's woman. If you get in touch with her, our Lin family won't have to put up with that brat Lin Ling anymore!"

"that is!"

Zhang Xiufang beamed, "That kid thought he was so great, but now that Su Qingyan is successful, he's definitely regretting it to death! Tianwu, you'd better work hard, our family is counting on you!"

Lin Tianwu straightened his back, his face full of pride: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, Su Qingyan said she would cooperate with me, and we will definitely have a bright future!"

Lin Keshan, who was standing to the side, watched coldly, shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "You're too happy too soon. Su Qingyan is a brainless woman, and Lin Ling is not as easy to deal with as you think. Going against them will only lead to a bad end. I advise you to go and apologize to Lin Ling and ask for his forgiveness, otherwise you will regret it sooner or later."

"Apologize? Ask him to forgive me?"

Zhang Xiufang scoffed, "Keshan, are you out of your mind? Lin Ling is a useless piece of trash now. We have Su Qingyan as our connection, why are we afraid of him?"

Lin Zhengguo frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Tianwu has finally found a way out, don't spoil the fun!"

Lin Keshan snorted coldly and left the living room in her wheelchair.

She gazed at the night outside the window and thought to herself, "A bunch of idiots, just you wait and see."

The sky over Nanzhou was gloomy, with dark clouds hanging low, as if a few drops of rain might fall at any moment.

Pedestrians hurried past on the street, their footsteps sounding particularly clear in the damp, cold air.

Lin Keshan pushed the wheelchair straight to the Lingyun Group building.

The towering building appeared even more austere under the gray sky, its glass curtain wall reflecting a cold light, like an invisible wall that separated it from the world inside.

Her face was pale, and her heart was filled with complex emotions—anger, self-blame, and a faint glimmer of hope.

Since the car accident, she has been paralyzed in her lower limbs and has become known as a "useless person" by the Lin family. But she knows better than anyone that the Lin family's downfall is only a matter of time.

She tried to persuade her parents and Lin Tianwu to turn back, but they were determined to cling to Su Qingyan, that shaky tree.

Now, she can only come to Lin Ling in person, hoping to exchange her remorse for his forgiveness, even if it's just a slim chance.

The wheelchair stopped at the entrance of Lingyun Group. Lin Keshan looked up at the revolving door, behind which lay a world she once knew but now found out of reach.

She took a deep breath and pushed her wheelchair forward, but was stopped by the security guard.

"Miss, do you have an appointment?" The security guard's eyes swept over her, with a hint of barely perceptible pity.

Lin Keshan gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "I'm looking for Lin Ling. I am... his sister, Lin Keshan. Please inform him."

The security guard frowned, clearly familiar with the name.

He picked up the walkie-talkie, whispered a few words, and after a moment, he turned around and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin said he doesn't have time to see you right now. Please go back."

These words struck Lin Keshan like a heavy hammer blow to her heart.

She stood there, stunned, her hands trembling involuntarily, and her eyes quickly reddening.

She knew Lin Ling hated her and the entire Lin family, but she never expected that he wouldn't even see her once.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat felt blocked and she couldn't make a sound.

"Lin Ling..."

She murmured softly, tears finally streaming down her pale cheeks and dripping onto the armrests of her wheelchair.

Lin Keshan recalled her past indifference and hurt towards him, the misunderstandings instigated by Lin Tianwu, and the past when she personally pushed him to the brink of despair.

Self-reproach surged like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming her.

She covered her face with her hands and sobbed softly. Her wheelchair stood alone in front of the building, like an abandoned shadow.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from not far away.
