All the Money Is Gone

"Hahahaha—"

Lin Li continued to laugh maniacally.

Lin Qingwan stood frozen in place the entire time.

How did it come to this?

How did things turn out this way?

She looked at Lin Li, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Li'er was right. In truth, they were the main culprits themselves.

They had pushed Little Xuan away with their own hands.

It was all their fault.

Lin Chang frowned, his mind racing.

His daughters wouldn't amount to anything in the future.

As for his son Lin Xuan, although capable, he now treated him as an enemy.

He certainly wouldn't be willing to provide him with a good life.

However, he still had his son, Li'er.

Li'er's pharmaceutical company was already thriving. He just needed to rely on Li'er to continue living a life of luxury above others.

"Li'er," Lin Chang said amiably. "Your mother was my first love, and Dad has always loved her. Back then, in order to develop the company, Dad had no choice but to be with Jiang Shuqin."

"Now Dad has figured it out. From now on, I won't care about these three daughters or Jiang Shuqin anymore. I will live a good life with you and Yajun."

Lin Qingxiu and Lin Qingyan were stunned. "Dad, are you cutting ties with us?"

To show his loyalty to Lin Li, Lin Chang said heartlessly, "Me being with your mother was a mistake."

"Now, it's time for me to correct this mistake. From now on, I will pretend I don't have you daughters, and you can pretend you don't have me as a father," Lin Chang said coldly.

Lin Qingyan couldn't help but stumble back a few steps.

Her pretty face turned pale.

Ruined.

Ruined.

Their family was completely ruined today.

Lin Chang then flatteringly grabbed Lin Li's hand. "Li'er, the two of us, father and son, will wait together for your mother to get out of prison."

"Lin Chang! Stop being so hypocritical."

Lin Li roughly threw Lin Chang's hand off.

Lin Chang froze.

Lin Li spoke with a mocking expression, "Lin Chang, don't think that just because you say a few flattering words, I'll treat you as my father."

Lin Li advanced on Lin Chang step by step.

Lin Chang couldn't help but back away.

Lin Li's face was filled with hatred. "Lin Chang, you are the main culprit! If it weren't for your vanity, getting together with Jiang Shuqin for money, how could my mother have become a shameful mistress?"

"And how could I be the son of a mistress? I was supposed to be the rightful young master of the Lin family. But instead, in order to stay in this house, I had to constantly suck up to people and wear a hypocritical mask."

"And my mother! She was clearly your first love, yet you abandoned her. But she loved you so much that, to be with you, she ran over her own husband. If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't be in prison!"

"Lin Chang, I have never once considered you my biological father!"

Lin Chang's face turned pale.

He had thought that since he was Li'er's biological father, Li'er would treat him differently.

He never expected Lin Li to be such an ungrateful wretch!

Thinking of something, Jiang Shuqin rushed forward again.

"Lin Li, give me my money! Give back all the money I invested, and the profits!" Jiang Shuqin said through gritted teeth.

"Money?" Lin Li sneered. "Jiang Shuqin, what money do you have?"

Jiang Shuqin gritted her teeth. "Lin Li, don't think you can renege on your debt. I invested a lot of money in your company, and we have it in black and white. You must return the money and the profits to me!"

"Contracts?" Lin Li curled his lips. "Are you talking about the shares I gave you back then?"

Lin Li pulled out a contract.

"Look at this. Look at it carefully."

This was the very contract Lin Li had signed to get shares from Jiang Shuqin.

"Yanyan, quickly help Mom take a look," Jiang Shuqin said nervously.

"Hurry up!"

"Okay, Mom, don't panic. I'll look right now." Lin Qingyan nodded.

She began to leaf through it.

She had previously signed contracts for TV dramas, movies, and variety shows, so she had come into contact with quite a few contracts. Reading a contract wasn't difficult for her.

Lin Qingyan read through it page by page.

The sound of rustling paper echoed in the office.

Butler Wang sighed with emotion and said, "Young Master Lin, this good show is truly too wonderful."

"It's a good thing you brought me along."

Otherwise, he would never have been able to enjoy such juicy gossip in his life.

Lei Hui nodded in strong agreement.

Lin Xuan curled his lips. "This show is indeed quite good."

Dogs biting dogs.

How could it not be entertaining?

"There's more of the show to come. Let's keep watching."

"Alright."

Butler Wang and Lei Hui resumed their gossip-watching postures.

Lei Hui was also cracking sunflower seeds. "Butler Wang, you really prepared a lot of sunflower seeds."

Butler Wang said with a beaming smile, "Of course. Ever since I found out Young Master Lin was bringing me to watch the drama, I've been getting these sunflower seeds ready."

Lin Qingyan frowned and said, "There's no problem with the content."

Finally, Lin Qingyan's gaze fell on Lin Li's signature.

"That's not right," Lin Qingyan shook her head.

Jiang Shuqin asked nervously, "Yan'er, what's not right?"

Lin Qingyan said, "The name isn't right. Mom, this handwriting doesn't belong to Li'er."

"And the company's official seal isn't right either."

A wave of panic also surged in Lin Qingyan's heart.

The contract Lin Li gave Mom was fake.

Then what about hers?

She had invested all her money into Lin Li's company!

"Lin Li, where is my contract?" Lin Qingyan said nervously.

Lin Li pulled out a thick stack of contracts.

He threw them at Lin Qingyan.

"All the contracts for you Lin family members are right here."

Lin Qingyan hurriedly picked them up to check.

"Fake signatures, they're all fake signatures!"

"And fake official seals too!"

Lin Qingyan's eyes widened.

Jiang Shuqin grabbed Lin Qingyan's hand.

"Yanyan, so what if it's a fake signature and a fake seal? Is there a problem?" Jiang Shuqin's heart was beating wildly.

"Mom, a fake signature and a fake seal mean that this contract is completely invalid," Lin Qingyan replied, looking utterly devastated.

"What?" Jiang Shuqin's eyes widened.

She rushed over and grabbed Lin Li's clothes again.

"Lin Li, I don't want the profits anymore. Just give me my principal back quickly!"

Right now, she just wanted her savings back!

Lin Chang also grabbed Lin Li's hand. "Yes, Li'er, I don't want the profits your company made. Just give me back my principal."

He had invested over a billion into Lin Li.

This was the money he had saved up from running his company for many years.

With such a large sum of money, as long as he didn't squander it recklessly, he could rely on it to live a very good life for the rest of his days.

"Principal? You still want your principal back?"

Lin Li sneered and said, "Jiang Shuqin, Lin Chang, why do you think I stayed with the Lin family after Xinghui Group went bankrupt? It was because I had my eyes on your savings. I wanted to bleed your savings dry."
