Ten minutes later.
Lin Group, Headquarters.
A van creaked its way forward and stopped in front of a tall building.
"Daddy? Weren't we going back to the villa? Why are we at the company?"
Getting out of the car, Lin Hao looked puzzled.
Just as he was about to ask something, he noticed Lin Jianjun's face darken, and he immediately shut his mouth.
He also recalled the mention of selling off family property earlier.
If there were no surprises...
The luxurious family villa was surely on the list of properties to be sold.
"Villa? Hmph! You still want to live in a villa?"
At the thought of losing five hundred million, rage surged in Lin Jianjun's heart.
But seeing Lin Hao looking at him pitifully, he didn't have the heart to scold him further.
Letting out a cold snort, he took the lead and walked ahead.
This old man.
When you're no longer able to move, I'll make sure to pull out your oxygen tube.
Lin Hao suppressed his frustration and followed alongside his mother.
Soon, they arrived at the company's staff dormitory.
This was usually a resting place for some senior employees, but now, under Lin Jianjun's prior arrangements, it was empty.
Opening the door, Lin Jianjun frowned and was the first to enter.
"For the time being, we'll have to live here."
Since they were penniless, the three of them couldn't even afford to stay at a hotel.
Helplessly.
They decided to move into the company dormitory for a while; it was better than being homeless on the streets.
But looking at the small and shabby room, the three of them exchanged looks of dismay.
Two bedrooms and one living room.
No air conditioning, no washing machine, or any other furniture.
There was only one bathroom, an old, dirty squat toilet.
…..
For ordinary people, this living condition might have been acceptable.
But for the three of them, who had once enjoyed the luxuries of a grand villa...
It was like falling from heaven into hell.
At this moment.
The disgust and disdain in their eyes were so intense it felt almost tangible.
But given the current circumstances.
They had no choice but to endure the discomfort and move their luggage into the room.
After a short period of settling in.
Lin Jianjun, sweating profusely, sat on the hard sofa in the center of the living room.
He glanced around the stifling and depressing environment, feeling uncomfortable everywhere.
If only he hadn't fallen out with Lin Xuan back then.
Perhaps...
I'd still be in the villa, sipping fine wine and enjoying life!
How could I have fallen to the point of...
Living in this shabby place without air conditioning, a place even a dog wouldn't want to stay in...
At this moment.
Lin Jianjun felt regret for the first time.
He thought he should have coaxed Lin Xuan into giving up his shares before kicking him out of the family.
Instead of rushing to sever ties with Lin Xuan for the sake of Lin Hao and his mother, which had led to their current predicament.
Thinking of this.
Lin Jianjun cast a glance at Lin Hao in the distance, his gaze carrying a hint of irritation and dissatisfaction.
This subtle expression was noticed by Bai Yuelan from another angle...
Her heart skipped a beat.
Her eyes darted quickly, emotions brewing, and in an instant, her eyes reddened as she raised her hand to wipe away tears.
In the tiny room, even the slightest movement attracted everyone's attention.
"Yuelan? Why are you suddenly crying? Don't cry!"
Sensing his wife's distress, Lin Jianjun quickly got up, approached her, and held her in his arms, comforting her softly.
After all, she was the love of his youth.
Lin Jianjun was still very doting on his young wife.
"Husband, I feel so sorry for you! (Sobbing~~~)"
"It's because of me and Hao'er that you're forced to live in such a small house."
"If it weren't for us, maybe Xiao Xuan wouldn't have fallen out with you, and you wouldn't be in this miserable state today. (Crying~~~)"
"How about I take Xiao Hao and leave? We can kneel before Xiao Xuan and apologize. As long as he forgives us, we'll do anything..."
"If only we hadn't joined the Lin family, you wouldn't have been dragged down by us. Sob sob sob..."
"........"
Leaning on Lin Jianjun's shoulder, Bai Yuelan wept helplessly.
Seeing her so fragile and pitiful, Lin Jianjun almost felt heartbroken, and before he could offer words of comfort.
Lin Hao, with reddened eyes, suddenly rushed forward and knelt down before Lin Jianjun, speaking in a tearful voice: "Daddy! Hao'er has been unfilial and may not be able to take care of you in your old age."
"I'll go and beg Brother Lin Xuan right now. As long as he's willing to return to the Lin family and restore the father-son bond with you..."
"I'll pay any price! Even if what Brother Lin Xuan wants... is my life, I don't care..."
"........"
Bang, bang, bang!!!
After saying this, Lin Hao steeled himself and kowtowed heavily, as if bidding farewell to this poignant father-son relationship.
After several hard knocks of his head, his forehead was bruised and bleeding, making him look extremely pitiful and tragic.
"My son~~~~"
Bai Yuelan was truly heartbroken and called out loudly.
Witnessing the mother and son's willingness to sacrifice everything for him, Lin Jianjun was deeply moved.
At the same time, he felt deeply ashamed and remorseful for his earlier thoughts...
By comparison, his wife and son were truly incredible!!!
Lin Jianjun felt his nose tingle.
Under the weight of extreme guilt.
Two lines of hot, guilty blood tears slowly slid down his cheeks.
At this moment.
His heart was filled with warmth, enveloped by the intense love of family.
I, Lin Jianjun, with such a wife and son, have no regrets in this life!!!
At this moment, Bai Yuelan accidentally looked up and saw Lin Jianjun's blood tears, startling her greatly.
"Husband, are you okay? Why are you crying blood? Don't scare me!"
Hearing this.
Lin Jianjun casually wiped away the blood tears on his cheeks, unconcerned.
Blood tear syndrome.
This was a strange illness he had suffered from since childhood.
When his emotions fluctuated intensely, his eyes or nose would uncontrollably bleed, and doctors were helpless against it.
But fortunately, it wasn't a serious problem.
He just needed to drink some pig's blood, dog's blood, or chicken and duck blood to replenish the lost blood.
It was logical and based on facts, not fabricated at all.
"It's nothing; I've just been a bit stressed lately."
"Alright! Stop crying. How could I bear to let you and Hao'er leave?"
"And Hao'er, get up! My good son, your father is counting on you to take care of me in my old age. Don't say such things about leaving ever again."
"As for apologizing to that unfilial son! Hmph, does that beast even deserve it?"
After this small episode.
When Lin Xuan was mentioned again, all traces of regret disappeared from Lin Jianjun's eyes, leaving only intense anger and hatred.
That beast worse than pigs and dogs, utterly unfilial.
I'm his biological father!!!
Without my sperm, how could that beast have even come into this world?!
Just based on this gift of life...
Shouldn't he voluntarily kneel down, apologize, and transfer 30% of the shares to me unconditionally to repay me!!!
And his wretched, short-lived mother!
She actually chose to leave the shares to that unfilial son and not to me. If she hadn't, how could I be in such a passive position today?!
As expected, that filthy woman never truly loved me!!!
