Upon hearing Lin Yi Chen’s words, Jiang Wan Yu couldn’t help but blush and gave him an angry look.
“Yi Chen, can’t you think of something else?” Jiang Wan Yu said helplessly.
Lin Yi Chen smiled and shook his head. “No, Xiaoyu, I’ve been a vegetarian for four years now. You used to cooperate with me in any position!”
Jiang Wan Yu looked at him in silence, but when she saw Lin Yi Chen’s somewhat pitiful look, she couldn’t help but soften.
“I understand…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yi Chen pounced on her like a wolf, full of excitement.
The two of them quickly got entangled with each other.
Meanwhile, Xu Wen Jing informed Xu Shi Chang of Lin Yi Chen’s words.
“Dad, what should I do? Is Lin Yi Chen really going to sever his father-son relationship with Lin Haowei?” Xu Wen Jing asked.
If that were the case, then what was the point of her marrying him?
Xu Shi Chang was furious when he heard this.
“That fool, what’s the point of showing off his temper? If he endures it now, won’t Lin’s Group be his sooner or later?”
Then he calmed down and said, “Let’s see what happens tomorrow. What if he regrets it?”
“But what if he really makes the statement?” Xu Wen Jing was getting anxious.
She had gone to great lengths to get rid of Jiang Wan Yu, and now she found herself in this awkward situation. How could she bear it?
Xu Shi Chang said coldly, “If he really makes the statement, then your marriage is over!”
“But he’s Lin Haowei’s only son after all!” Xu Wen Jing hesitated.
What if she repeated the same mistake as last time and ended up hurting herself?
But at this moment, Xu Shi Chang said coldly, “So what if he’s the only son? Lin Haowei isn’t someone who values blood ties. Besides… Lin Yi Chen is the son of Luo Wanwan!”
“Dad, who is Luo Wanwan?” Xu Wen Jing asked curiously.
“Luo Wanwan is a woman who could drive Lin Haowei crazy! Lin Haowei was madly in love with her back then. But Luo Wanwan, together with Yi Lingfeng’s mother, chose to betray him!”
“Since then, Lin Haowei has directed his anger at Lin Yi Chen and the Yi family. Do you think the sudden bankruptcy of the Yi family was a coincidence? It’s all because Yi Lingfeng’s mother was Luo Wanwan’s best friend and helped her escape from Lin Haowei which led to Lin Haowei’s furious retaliation,” Xu Shi Chang said in a deep voice.
He was one of the few who knew about this incident.
Xu Wen Jing listened with wide eyes.
How did she not know about all this before?
“Is Luo Wanwan still alive? If we can find her, won’t everything be resolved?” Xu Wen Jing couldn’t help but ask.
If her birth mother came back, Lin Yi Chen would surely give up on severing the father-son relationship, right?
“Do you think finding someone is that easy? With Lin Haowei’s power, we can’t even find a trace of her. Who knows if Luo Wanwan is even still alive?” Xu Shi Chang shook his head.
Lin Haowei never stopped searching for Luo Wanwan. The initial condition he asked for back then was also related to finding Luo Wanwan.
But unfortunately, he was refused.
Listening to Xu Shi Chang’s words, Xu Wen Jing sat on the sofa dejectedly. “So are we just going to give up like this?”
After all the effort she had put into planning this, now it all seemed to be in vain. How could she accept that?
“Give up? How could we?” Xu Shi Chang’s eyes suddenly became shrewd.
The next moment, he said coldly, “If Lin Yi Chen really severs his father-son relationship with Lin Haowei, then Lin Haowei owes our Xu family even more!”
“What do you mean, Dad?” Xu Wen Jing immediately asked.
“Wait and see. Once Lin Yi Chen makes the statement, I’ll immediately call Lin Haowei and question whether he and Lin Yi Chen conspired to deceive our Xu family. If he doesn’t compensate you with at least one or two percent of the shares this time, I won’t let it go!” Xu Shi Chang quickly calculated his plan.
Xu Wen Jing’s eyes lit up.
The reason she married Lin Yi Chen was for the vast assets of the Lin family. If she could get some shares without getting married, whether or not they went through with the wedding wouldn’t matter.
“Dad, you’re right! We can’t just give up!” Xu Wen Jing’s eyes gleamed with greed.
The next morning, at dawn.
A statement issued by a well-known lawyer in the industry caused a sensation on Weibo.
“On behalf of Mr. Lin Yi Chen, I hereby release this statement. Mr. Lin Yi Chen will sever his father-son relationship with Mr. Lin Haowei today and renounce his inheritance rights to the Lin Group. From now on, everything related to the Lin Group has nothing to do with Mr. Lin Yi Chen.”
Originally, this statement went unnoticed by most people.
However, with Lin Yi Chen secretly promoting it, some prominent Weibo users quickly discovered it and shared it with astonishment.
Once these influential users shared it, numerous netizens saw it.
For a while, netizens were shocked.
“Is this a joke? Did I read it wrong? Or is this lawyer just playing around? Isn’t he afraid of receiving a legal letter from the Lin Group?”
“It’s not fake! This account belongs to Zhang, the lawyer known in the industry for never losing a case!”
“Oh my god! Has Lin Yi Chen lost his mind? Why would he suddenly choose to sever his relationship with Lin Haowei?!”
“Have there been some conflicts between father and son? Could it be so serious that they would sever their ties?”
“Is Lin Yi Chen crazy? Why would he give up a multi-billion-dollar family fortune like this?”
“I just want to ask, will Lin Yi Chen and Xu Wen Jing’s wedding still take place as scheduled? If she’s willing to marry him at this time, it must be true love!”
“Let me spill the beans secretly. Lin Yi Chen was kicked out of the position of CEO at Lin Group by Lin Haowei a few days ago. And I heard… Lin Yi Chen has been earning only five million a year as CEO of Lin Group. It can be said that he’s practically broke!”
The news shocked netizens once again.
Only five million a year?
Was Lin Yi Chen really in such a dire situation?
Even an ordinary high-level executive in a big company would earn more than that in a year, not to mention the dividends from their shares!
Lin Yi Chen was just taking a fixed salary like an ordinary employee?
While netizens discussed this, Lin Haowei and Xu Wen Jing became the talk of the town.
By the time the newspapers were printed in the morning, those who still bought newspapers from newsstands also saw the declaration.
For a while, countless people speculated about why the father and son had come to this point.
In particular, Lin Haowei received a flood of phone calls.
“Mr. Lin, what’s going on between you and Lin Yi Chen? Is he really severing ties with you and giving up the Lin Group?”
“Mr. Lin, your son is so disobedient. My mistress gave birth to a child just last month, but my wife won’t allow me to raise it at home. Can I have the child adopted by you?”
Lin Haowei was bombarded with these questions and suggestions.
