Chapter 326: Don’t Fall On Ah Xuan
Lin Qingwan has always been pretty gentle in front of her sisters.
This was the first time Lin Qingyan had been yelled at like this by Lin Qingwan.
The eldest sister’s emotions were way off.
Lin Qingyan frowned.
Could it be that Lin Xuan wrote something in this diary to fool the eldest sister?
“Fine, then I’ll see what exactly is written here.” Lin Qingyan smirked and picked up the diary.
Lin Qingyan looked at the contents inside.
Her brows furrowed tightly.
“Yanyan,” Lin Qingwan thought about Lin Xuan’s experiences in the Lin family, and her throat became a bit choked.
“In the past, Xiao Xuan had it really tough in our home; he couldn’t even eat enough meals or dress well. He served us like a servant, no, his situation in our house was worse than a servant’s.”
As she spoke, tears began rolling down Lin Qingwan’s face.
“At least servants could eat their fill and get paid, and they wouldn’t be humiliated by us so recklessly.”
“Second sister, all of us in the Lin family owe Xiao Xuan.”
Lin Qingwan pulled out some tissues, wiped away some of the tears on her face, and after barely calming herself down, she continued, “Xiao Xuan had it extremely tough in the past. I hope you and I can treat Xiao Xuan better together, let him feel the warmth of family affection, maybe then Xiao Xuan will come back to our home.”
Lin Qingyan looked at this diary and felt it was incredibly fake. She only skimmed through the beginning and disdainfully closed the diary.
“Eldest sister, don’t be deceived by Lin Xuan. Hasn’t he lied to us enough already?”
“I think he’s just pretending to look hungry and poorly dressed to trick us. He’s the young master of our Lin family; how bad could things possibly be for him? Wasn’t he always like this at home before? Occasionally pretending to be pitiful to gain our sympathy.”
“If he was truly so pitiful, how would he have the energy to repeatedly go after Li’er?”
Lin Qingwan shook her head, “No, second sister, he wasn’t pretending. You should know about his monthly allowance of only four hundred bucks, and this is where he lived.”
Lin Xuan’s room had already been completely cleared out by people sent by Jiang Shuqin.
However, Lin Qingwan had taken photos of the room.
Lin Qingyan looked at the pictures on Lin Qingwan’s phone but still showed disdain.
“This Lin Xuan is quite thorough in his act, isn’t he, afraid we’d expose his tricks.”
Lin Qingyan crossed her arms, “As for that four hundred bucks allowance, that’s just the surface amount. Who knows how much money he secretly took from the family.”
“Second sister, did you give Xiao Xuan any money?” Lin Qingwan asked seriously.
“Why would I give him money?” Lin Qingyan sneered disdainfully.
Even if she gave money to beggars, she wouldn’t give it to Lin Xuan.
“If none of us gave Xiao Xuan money, not you, me, the third sister, or mom and dad, where does his money come from?” Lin Qingwan countered.
Lin Qingyan frowned.
Why is the eldest sister always defending Lin Xuan?
She didn’t expect Lin Xuan to be so capable, actually deceiving the eldest sister.
No way.
She must make the eldest sister see Lin Xuan’s true nature.
“Yes, we didn’t give Lin Xuan money, but he surely would have asked the finance department, right?”
“I’ll call the finance department and have them come over.”
Lin Qingyan picked up her phone and dialed the finance department.
The finance manager arrived quickly.
“Misses, may I ask what your orders are?” he respectfully asked.
Lin Qingyan sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, “I want to know how much money Lin Xuan has taken from our Lin family while living there?”
“The young master gets a fixed allowance of four hundred bucks every month. The time he spent at the Lin family receiving allowances was around eight years, so he should have spent less than forty thousand.” The finance manager answered.
“How could it be so little?” Lin Qingyan frowned.
Aren’t all the kids in their Lin family getting tens of thousands per month, and after university, it increases to over one hundred fifty thousand?
Whenever mom and dad see them go shopping or anything, they also give them extra money.
Realizing something, Lin Qingyan followed up, “Did you miss anything? Besides the allowance, shouldn’t there be other expenses?”
“Nope.” The finance manager shook his head, “Madam instructed me to only handle the allowance.”
“What about tuition fees and meal expenses? Aren’t those paid directly to the school? If so, you shouldn’t only calculate the allowance; these should also be included.” Lin Qingyan said.
If that’s the case, giving Lin Xuan an extra four hundred bucks isn’t too bad, better than an average household, right?
Plus, Lin Xuan grew up in an orphanage, so this life is already pretty good for him.
“Miss, Madam never instructed me to handle these things for the young master. I’ve never handled such payments for the young master either.” The finance manager shook his head.
“How could that be possible?” Lin Qingyan didn’t believe it.
“Miss, I asked Madam if I should help pay the young master’s tuition, but she said it wasn’t necessary. Also, she mentioned that matters concerning the young master need not be reported to her anymore. So, I stopped asking.”
Lin Qingwan frowned.
She seemed to remember this. That day when Xiaoli got first place in the mid-term exams, everyone was celebrating for Xiaoli.
They were having a great time when the finance manager interrupted, and mom, upset, said those words.
Lin Qingwan painfully closed her eyes.
Xiao Xuan really had it tough in this house…
They didn’t give him any familial affection, and his situation in the Lin family was no better than being in the orphanage.
“No way, someone like Lin Xuan wouldn’t possibly suffer himself, right?” Lin Qingyan shook her head.
Still unable to believe Lin Xuan had it so hard in the past.
“I get it, eldest sister, I know the reason now.” Lin Qingyan said emotionally, “Lin Xuan wouldn’t keep suffering himself at home. He might be faking it at school.”
“Eldest sister, let’s check out Lin Xuan’s high school. We’ll ask Lin Xuan’s high school teacher and find out how Lin Xuan was doing at school.”
He must have been doing great.
Lin Qingwan nodded, “Alright.”
She also wanted to learn more about Xiao Xuan’s high school life.
Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingwan arrived at Haowen Middle School, which was an elite school with both junior and senior high sections.
After returning to the Lin family, Lin Xuan was directly enrolled in Haowen Middle School.
“Do you need anything?” Lin Xuan’s homeroom teacher for three years asked.
“Teacher Wang, do you know Lin Xuan?” Lin Qingyan asked.
“I do, I remember him vividly.” The teacher smiled.
“Teacher Wang, may I ask, was Lin Xuan very extravagant at school?” Lin Qingyan cut straight to the chase.
