Chapter 26: No Phone
“Good good good, this is really something.” Jiang Shuqin exploded in anger, “What a successful life! First marrying into another family, now being kept!”
“Mom, isn’t there some kind of misunderstanding here?” Lin Qingwan frowned and asked.
“What misunderstanding? They’ve become the phoenix flying up to the branch, looking down on our family,” Jiang Shuqin sneered coldly.
Lin Chang also had a serious expression. His biological son willingly fell into being kept. If this got out, where would the Lin family’s face go?
Even if they cut ties, people would still gossip behind their backs!
Lin Chang took out his phone, preparing to call Lin Xuan.
When flipping through the contact list, he suddenly paused and asked seriously, “Do any of you have Lin Xuan’s number?”
Jiang Shuqin didn’t respond.
Lin Qingwan was stunned.
Lin Qingyan pouted her lips; she’d long blocked and deleted Lin Xuan, so how could she have his number?
Previously, Lin Xuan would call her all the time, and she was utterly annoyed by it.
None of the Lin family could find a single person with Lin Xuan’s number.
Aunt Wang said, “I have the Young Master’s number.”
Using Aunt Wang’s contact list, Lin Chang entered Lin Xuan’s number into his own phone and dialed it.
“The number you are calling is currently in a conversation. Please try again later,” came the cold mechanical voice from the phone.
Lin Chang used Aunt Wang’s phone to call, and it actually connected.
Lin Chang’s face darkened!
How dare Lin Xuan block him!
“Wang Ma.” Lin Xuan quickly answered the call.
“Lin Xuan, are you being kept?” Lin Chang gritted his teeth and asked.
Lin Xuan slightly froze; it was his biological father. He coldly laughed, “Chairman Lin, I’ve already signed the severance agreement and had a third party witness it. Should I remind you that we no longer have any relationship? My affairs are none of your concern!”
Without saying another word, Lin Xuan hung up the phone.
Lin Chang was so angry his chest heaved violently.
Jiang Shuqin crossed her arms and leaned against the chair, coldly mocking, “Now that Lin Xuan has a backer, he thinks he’s so capable that he doesn’t need our Lin family anymore. Naturally, he won’t listen to what you say.”
Lin Qingyan disdainfully rolled her eyes, “Rich old ladies keeping men is just for fun. They’ll lose interest soon enough. Does Lin Xuan think he can rely on that person forever?”
“Just wait, sooner or later, he’ll be discarded by that person and then will think about coming back to our Lin family.”
It’s like how she likes hanging out with those young studs; no matter how much she likes them, after a while, she gets bored quickly and moves on to the next one.
Jiang Shuqin coldly remarked, “Fine, I want to see how long he can keep acting high and mighty!”
For some reason, when Lin Qingwan heard their words, she felt suffocated. Moreover, not a single person in their family, including herself, had Lin Xuan’s number.
She remembered having his number before.
Lin Xuan used to call her often, but she warned him later that regardless of anything, he shouldn’t call her because she had work and no time to deal with him. Since then, Lin Xuan never called her.
Once, when she was deleting her contact list, she accidentally removed Lin Xuan’s number.
They were family, close relatives, yet not a single person had his number.
At the dinner table, Lin Li was serving food to Jiang Shuqin, “Mom, don’t overthink it. Brother is just brash due to youth. Once he faces setbacks, he’ll naturally understand that the Lin family is his true backing.”
“Lier, you’re still more obedient and sensible,” Jiang Shuqin looked at him with affection.
“You’re my mom, it’s only right for me to respect you,” Lin Li replied considerately.
Lin Chang deliberately put on a stern face, “You only respect your mom. What about me, your dad?”
“Dad, this is your favorite braised pork,” Lin Li helplessly placed a piece of braised pork on Lin Chang’s bowl.
Only then did Lin Chang’s face brighten with a smile.
Lin Qingyan also held her rice bowl and asked, “What about mine? What about mine? Little brother, you can’t favor others over me.”
Lin Li also served Lin Qingyan a piece of sweet and sour fish that she liked.
Lin Qingyan’s eyes curved happily, “Little brother is really sensible.”
As they enjoyed their harmonious meal together,
Lin Qingwan, sitting in the room, watching this scene, felt inexplicable pain in her heart. Xiao Xuan’s treatment in the Qin family was far worse than Xiao Li’s…
Xiao Li was everyone’s darling, while Xiao Xuan in the Qin family was an object anyone could bully…
