Chapter 85: Auntie Lin’s Story
Lin Yumeng put down the phone and told her mother happily, “Mom, Dad said he hadn’t eaten yet. You should pack some food for Dad!”
Auntie Lin said hesitantly, “Mengmeng, but I don’t think I’ve cooked enough food.”
In short, she didn’t want to see that unfaithful man.
Lin Yumeng immediately said, “Mom, I can go to buy two steamed buns for Dad. Doesn’t Dad like steamed buns?” Lin Yumeng grabbed a box from the kitchen. She looked into the rice cooker and noticed there was still a lot of rice. She scooped the rice into the box and insulated it well. She added the dishes to other layers. She handed the boxes to her mother. She said, “Mom, you can send this to dad now!”
Auntie Lin was surprised by her daughter’s swift movement. While she hesitated, her daughter was done with everything. Auntie Lin prevaricated, “But Mengmeng, Mom hasn’t eaten yet.”
Lin Yumeng smiled and said, “Mom, I’ve thought of that. I’ve packed enough food for you and Dad. You can eat with Dad at the company!”
Auntie Lin knew she was cornered. If she continued to find excuses, she would arouse her daughter’s suspicion. Auntie Lin carried the boxes and told Lin Yumeng, “Mengmeng, after you’re done eating, remember to lock the door. Don’t open the door for strangers, okay?”
Lin Yumeng nodded. “Mom, I know. I’m not a little girl anymore. If you don’t leave soon, Dad will go hungry!”
Auntie Lin sighed helplessly and left.
The moment Auntie Lin turned, her daughter’s smile disappeared. Lin Yumeng sighed. “Mom, I already know the truth. I know you want a divorce. However, you’ve been hanging on for big brother and me. You endured the grievances and shed silent tears at night. I know I’m being selfish but Mom, I still wish you could get back with Dad. We used to be such a happy family!”
Lin Yumeng was shopping with her classmates when she discovered her father’s mistress. Her father and his mistress were buying a diamond necklace in a jewelry store.
Lin Yumeng went to inquire about the woman. She found out the woman became her father’s mistress two years ago. All the smiles and laughter her mother had flashed before Lin Yumeng’s eyes. Lin Yumeng believed her mother had already known the truth a long time ago.
At that moment, Lin Yumeng wanted to go and question her father. How could he betray his entire family like that?
However, Lin Yumeng calmed down. She did some digging around and found out the only reason her parents hadn’t gotten a divorce was because of her and her brother. If she exposed everything, it would bring about the divorce of her parents. That night, Lin Yumeng matured, she shed her innocence.
Lin Yumeng also started to learn from her mother. She learned how to fake happiness. However, she was unwilling to see her family get destroyed by an outsider. Therefore, whenever she had a chance, she would try to bring her parents together. She had failed many times, but eventually, she would succeed. Perhaps, this time…
Lin Yumeng had a feeling that this was the time her parents would reconcile.
…
Auntie Lin carried the meal boxes to the company. However, when she arrived at the front desk, no one responded.
Actually, that was not right. The front desk receptionist had received Shen Ying’s orders that if a middle-aged lady came to deliver food, they had to kick her out.
Who was Shen Ying? Everyone at the company knew she was the Madam CEO. If they didn’t listen to the Madam CEO’s orders, they would be fired.
Just like that, Auntie Lin was kicked out by the stern company guards.
Lin Tianhui, who was waiting in his rooftop office, saw this clearly. He was livid. He called the security office and demanded they fetch Auntie Lin back. Lin Tianhui also ran down in person to find Auntie Lin.
When the head of security received his CEO’s call, his face was pale. Only then did he realize the old lady they kicked out earlier was the real Madam CEO.
He cursed the front desk receptionist and Shen Ying. The middle-aged woman was the real Madam CEO, but they told him to kick her out!
It was ridiculous!
Auntie Lin was already annoyed that she had to come to deliver food to Lin Tianhui. When she was thrown out of the company, a wave of resentment rose in her heart.
She would not endure the humiliation anymore. Since they couldn’t negotiate a fair divorce, she would bring him to court. She would get half of their assets and both of their children. This time, she wouldn’t back down.
Auntie Lin was filled with anger. She rushed back to find a lawyer.
As Auntie Lin turned to leave, the head of security who threatened her earlier, rushed over with a panicked and fearful expression. He stopped Auntie Lin and said respectfully, “Madam CEO, I’m sorry for not recognizing you. Please forgive me. The CEO is waiting for you in his office. Please… Please come back!”
When the CEO called and scolded him, the head of security could sense the CEO’s anger.
To be honest, the head of security was innocent too. The whole company referred to Shen Ying as their Madam CEO. However, the truth was Shen Ying was merely the mistress, and the real Madam CEO was this lady whose youth had departed.
Regretfully, not many at the company knew that.
It was why they had listened to Shen Ying and chased out Auntie Lin.
