Chapter 1498: Softhearted Women

In other words, there was simply no use to hire a lawyer. Even if they hired all the lawyers, it would be to no purpose other than spending more of the Lin family’s money. The lawyer hired by the Lin family clearly informed them that Qiao Nan had to decide to give up Old Lin’s inheritance voluntarily and to return them to the Lin family.

Otherwise, the Lin family would not even be able to get a single cent from Old Lin’s inheritance, let alone his whole fortune.

No matter how you looked at it, there was no point in fighting this case. The lawyer would not waste his own time or put his reputation at stake trying to fight this case.

The relationship between the Lin family and Old Lin was just too poor. Even the people from the central committee had heard and spoken out about it. They were not going to disappoint Old Lin, who had made great contributions to the development of the country.

Even though Old Lin had no family by his side, he still had the party, the country, and the people. There were so many people who could provide for him in the Lin family. Old Lin would definitely not be alone in his old age.

Just based on this situation, the lawyer wanted to ask if the Lin family was mentally sound.

Completely knocked down by the lawyer’s words, the Lin family finally realized in a daze that they had worked in vain. They did not even get to see Qiao Nan, let alone taking a dime from her. Even more so not to mention how they had bullied a young lady into tears so much so that she was afraid of returning Old Lin’s items.

In the end, the one who was really scared to tears seemed to be themselves, no?

The Lin family had not figured a way out of this mess. When they finally returned to their own lives, the two youngsters of the Lin family who were businessmen suddenly realized that there had been a drastic increase in the number of businesses like theirs in just a period of a month. Worse still, there were one or two companies that had developed at an extreme speed and could now compete with them for business.

After several times of having their business being snatched away from them, the Lin family somehow felt as though someone powerful was targeting them. Otherwise, why was it that they had never been so unlucky up until now? It was as though their opponent knew their moves ahead of time, could finalize their own plans, sign contract procedures, and stay one step ahead of them, leaving the Lin family with no room at all.

It was easy to become successful in the business world. But in the same vein, if one did not do well, the company could go bankrupt in the blink of an eye.

Without Old Lin’s help, the Lin family had finally been able to start something for themselves. However, before the new year arrived, they had already failed. As such, the Lin family could no longer maintain their lifestyles and became just like the normal working class.

When the Lin family finally regained their senses and knew who was attacking them, it was already too late. Luckily, Qiao Nan had never thought of being too brutal, totally eliminating the Lin family, because she still respected the fact that they were Lins.

The Lin family used to live in Ping Cheng, but Old Lin had moved to the capital for Qiao Nan and her children. Thus, the Lin family moved northward as well, thinking that it would be easier to settle down in the capital by taking advantage of Old Lin’s connections.

In reality, the Lin family did not really need to even talk to Old Lin. As long as the Lin family used Old Lin as a playing card, many people would show some respect to the Lin family. This was the true reason how the family could buy a house and settle down in the capital in just a few years’ time.

Now that the Lin family could no longer survive in the capital, they decided to return to Ping Cheng. Ping Cheng was their hometown after all.

On the day that the Lin family returned to Ping Cheng and were cleaning their house, they received a sum of money from a mysterious person. To an ordinary person, this was definitely a huge sum of money. But to someone who was in the business world, like the Lin family that had been bosses in the past, this was neither a lot nor insignificant.

If the Lin family received this sum of money and was willing to live down-to-earth lives without coveting for luxurious lifestyles, then their lives would definitely not be much harder than before.

Looking at the sum of money, the Lin family could roughly guess who had sent the money. Just the thought of this person made the Lin family itch with anger.

If not for Qiao Nan, the Lin family’s business in the capital had actually been quite good. Although it could not compare with the money that Old Lin had left behind, it was still enough for the Lin family to lead comfortable lives in the capital. In ten or twenty years, who could say that the Lin family might not become the nouveau riches in the capital?

But such a bright future was utterly shattered by Qiao Nan. And when the Lin family was at their wit’s end, Qiao Nan sent such a sum of money to ‘save’ them.

The Lin family could not bring themselves to like Qiao Nan. In fact, they bore a deep resentment against her. But they could not deny that they no longer had such a bad impression of Qiao Nan as compared to before.

“They went back already?” Tian Dong eyed the documents in Qiao Nan’s hands. Qiao Nan had never asked for help in what she had done to the Lin family, but Tian Dong knew all about it.

“Otherwise? The cost of living is so high in the capital. If they foolishly continue to stay in the capital, it’ll be like mocking me with their own deaths. If the Lin family were really to choose that path, I would really gain some respect for them.” The Lin family had not left happily. They had been forced to leave the capital with no other choice.

Without money, how could they be Beijing drifters?

Normally, Beijing drifters were single or a family of three. Hardly were there those like the Lin family who boasted that they were famous and had an illustrious family background. Such a large family had all come to the capital to further their careers. Leaving all else aside, up until the day that they left the capital, the Lin family had not even earned enough to arrange for everyone in their family to have a permanent place to stay in.

It was truly difficult to purchase a house in the capital, let alone purchasing a few large houses. The Lin family was truly ambitious.

But things were different in Ping Cheng. As long as they were willing to return there, everything was ready for them. The cost of living in Ping Cheng was low and the Lin family still had a bit of money. They would not have to worry about finances. With the additional sum of money that that person had sent to the Lin family, if they were willing to run a small and honest business, not a big business, there would be no problem living comfortably.

“You’re not very vicious. Indeed, just like a woman.” Tian Dong raised his eyebrows. The business world was just like a battleground. Once he attacked, he never let up to give his opponents a chance of coming back, unlike Qiao Nan, who had softened her heart when she should have hardened it.

Luckily, Qiao Nan was only a small shareholder in the Tian Corporation. She had almost never participated in the company’s decision making anyway.
