Chapter 148 Showdown, Questioning
Luo Fei's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the elders beside him also frowned.
Luo Youfu couldn't help but speak up: "What are you saying? The girl is still in school, and you're already making these kinds of plans?"
Lin Chongwei waved his hand dismissively: "Isn't the point of studying to marry into a good family? My boss is rich and powerful; marrying into that family will save me decades of struggle, isn't that great!"
He got more and more excited as he spoke, looking at Luo Fei: "Nephew, don't you think so? If you agree, I'll talk to the boss right away. Don't worry, as your uncle, I definitely won't treat you unfairly!"
Luo Fei stared at him, motionless.
Lin Zongwei felt uneasy under his gaze, but still forced himself to continue, "Have your sister meet my boss. He's a very nice person; he'll definitely be satisfied after meeting him..."
"Snapped!"
A loud bang.
Lin Zongwei jumped up.
Luo Fei slammed his hand on the table, and his gaze sent a chill down Lin Zongwei's spine.
Luo Fei said, word by word, "My sister's affairs are none of your business."
Lin Zongwei's face turned bright red. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but was suppressed by Luo Fei's imposing aura and couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Cuifen started wiping away tears again: "Grandson, don't be angry. Your uncle only meant well and wanted to find a good family for your sister..."
Luo Fei looked at her.
There was no anger or disgust in those eyes.
There was only a suffocating calm.
Wang Cuifen's crying sound was stuck in her throat.
Lin Mengran put down her phone, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.
The room was eerily quiet.
The elders looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Lin Zongwei stood there, his face turning red and then pale.
He suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
"Bang!"
The table shook.
He pointed at Luo Fei, his voice rising: "What do you mean? We came all this way to reconnect with our relatives and kindly introduce your sister to a potential partner, and this is your attitude?"
His face turned a deep purplish-red, and spittle flew everywhere.
"Let me tell you, I'm your mother's own brother! I'm your uncle! How dare you, a junior, speak to me like that?"
Wang Cuifen quickly pulled him back: "Zongwei, don't be angry, don't be angry..."
Lin Zongwei shook off her hand and continued pointing at Luo Fei: "I don't believe it! You better explain yourself clearly about what happened today!"
Luo Fei looked at him without saying a word.
But a slight smile curved the corners of his mouth.
That smile was eerie, sending chills down your spine.
Lin Zongwei felt uneasy under his gaze, but the words were already out and couldn't be taken back, so he could only grit his teeth and continue.
"Fine, you don't acknowledge me as your uncle." He panted heavily, his eyes darting around, then suddenly changed his tune. "Then let me ask you, where's my mother? My mother is your maternal grandmother! She's getting old; shouldn't your mother, as her daughter, support her?"
Wang Cuifen immediately cooperated by wiping away her tears.
Lin Chong Wei got more and more excited as he spoke: "In our Dragon Country's laws, children have an obligation to support their parents! Your mother is my mother's biological daughter, that's not wrong, is it?"
He stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at Luo Fei.
"I won't make things difficult for you. You have two paths to choose from."
He held up two fingers.
"First, bring my mother to live in your new house. I heard that your family also bought a villa in the county town and a newly built house in the village. You're living a very comfortable life. My mother has worked hard all her life, it's time for her to enjoy herself."
His eyes narrowed, and a calculating smile appeared on his face.
"Secondly, if you don't want to take the elderly to live with you, that's fine too. You'll have to give them 5,000 yuan a month in support, not a penny less. Anyway, you're rich now, with a villa and a new house, this amount of money is nothing to you."
Wang Cuifen nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, grandson, grandma isn't picky. Staying at your house is fine, you can pay me, anything is fine."
Lin Mengran put down her phone, her eyes brightening.
Five thousand a month? That's more than she earns working a regular job.
Luo Fei looked at them, ignoring their question, and instead turned to Lin Zongwei, his tone indifferent: "The boss you mentioned wants a son, right?"
Lin Zongwei was taken aback, not understanding why he suddenly brought this up.
Luo Fei continued, "Your daughter is twenty-two, perfect. If you want to curry favor with the boss, why don't you just marry your daughter off to him? It'll strengthen family ties, wouldn't that be great?"
Lin Mengran's face turned pale instantly. She abruptly raised her head and looked at Lin Zongwei.
Lin Zongwei's face also froze, and he opened his mouth as if to say something.
"What?" Luo Fei's voice was very soft. "Is your daughter impotent?"
Lin Zongwei's expression changed repeatedly. Of course, he had thought about it, but his boss, Chen Gang, didn't think much of Lin Mengran.
They want graduates from prestigious universities, those with good genes, and those who are high achievers who can father sons.
Her own daughter didn't even graduate from high school and had dated so many boyfriends; her reputation in the village was already ruined, so there was no chance for her.
But he couldn't say these things to his daughter's face.
Lin Mengran stared at him, her eyes filled with accusation.
Lin Zongwei coughed lightly, avoiding his daughter's gaze, and said to Luo Fei, "Don't change the subject! We're talking about supporting your grandmother!"
Luo Fei leaned back in his chair and looked at him.
"Support?"
His tone was indifferent.
"What evidence do you have to prove that she is my mother's relative?"
Lin Zongwei was stunned, and Wang Cuifen was also stunned.
Luo Fei's gaze swept over the three of them.
"You say she's my maternal grandmother, so she is? You say she's my uncle, so I have to acknowledge her? In this world, can you really claim kinship just by talking?"
Lin Zongwei's face flushed red: "What do you mean? We've come all this way, do you think it's fake?"
Luo Fei looked at him: "You say it's true, where's the evidence?"
Lin Zongwei opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Luo Fei continued, "What about the birth certificate? What about the household registration record? What about the evidence of abandonment back then? Are there any witnesses? You said you've always thought about it, have you ever looked for it? In these past forty years, have you reported it to the police? Have you placed any missing person notices?"
A barrage of questions left Lin Chongwei speechless.
Wang Cuifen panicked: "I really am her biological mother! I remember it very clearly. It was drizzling that day, and I wrapped her in a blue cloth and placed her..."
Luo Fei interrupted her: "Anyone who was at the market back then could have heard about these things. A few words can't prove anything."
He stood up and looked at them.
"The people my mother needed to support have all passed away. The one who raised her with such difficulty is her true family. As for you?"
He chuckled softly.
The laughter was faint, but it sounded extremely grating to Lin Zongwei's ears.
"If you believe you are in the right, you can file a lawsuit in court."
He paused.
"But don't cause trouble here until then."
Lin Zongwei's face turned a deep purplish-red as he pointed a finger at Luo Fei: "You've gone too far!"
Wang Cuifen panicked, slapping her thigh and crying out, "My God! My daughter, whom I gave birth to with such difficulty, doesn't recognize me now! Heaven, please open your eyes! What's the point of living for this old man like me?!"
She cried her heart out, but hardly shed a tear.
Lin Mengran stood to the side, her face looking very unpleasant.
She stared at Lin Zongwei and suddenly asked, "Dad, what exactly is this boss you were talking about?"
Lin Zongwei froze, then quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing, don't overthink it!"
Lin Mengran persisted, "Have you ever considered marrying me off to your boss? I'm only twenty-two, and he's over fifty! I want to marry a young, rich second-generation heir, not some old geezer!"
Lin Chong Wei panicked: "I said no!"
He can't very well say, "Because of your bad reputation, or because you're not from a prestigious university, the boss doesn't think much of you."
Wang Cuifen quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mengran, stop joking around, your dad is doing this for your own good..."
"For my own good?" Lin Mengran sneered. "For my own good, to make me marry an old man in his fifties?"
She glared at Lin Zongwei, turned and walked out. Lin Zongwei tried to grab her, but she shook him off.
Wang Cuifen stamped her feet in frustration: "How can this girl be so insensible!"
But Lin Mengran had already run out, and the sound of her slamming the door echoed from the courtyard.
Lin Zongwei's face turned pale and then flushed.
He turned back to look at Luo Fei, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Fine, go ahead," he gritted his teeth. "You won't admit it, huh? Then let's see what happens. My mom's staying here, she's not leaving! Let's see what you can do about it!"
Wang Cuifen immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, I'm not leaving! I'll stay here and wait for my daughter to come and acknowledge me! If she doesn't come, I'll walk around the village every day and let everyone see what kind of person Li Xiulan is—she doesn't even recognize her own mother!"
She plopped down on the stool, crossed her arms over her chest, and acted as if she were completely unfazed.
Lin Zongwei sat down again, staring at Luo Fei.
"And about your sister's matter, let me tell you, I'm determined to get involved! Your mother is my sister, and Luo Ying is my niece. As her uncle, why can't I interfere in her marriage?"
He slammed his hand on the table again.
"Bang!"
"I said Luo Ying should marry him, so she has to marry him! Boss Chen has such good conditions, so many people would kill for him, don't be ungrateful!"
Just then, footsteps came from behind the main room.
Luo Fei turned his head.
Luo Weidong helped Li Xiulan out of the inner room.
Li Xiulan's eyes were still red, but the tears on her face had dried.
Lin Zongwei was stunned for a moment when he saw her, but then he perked up again.
"Sister! You've come at the right time!" He stood up, pointing at Luo Fei, "Look at your son! What kind of attitude is this? I came here out of goodwill to acknowledge our relationship, and not only does he refuse, he even tried to kick us out! And about Luo Ying, I've already spoken with the boss, and they're willing to offer a high dowry—this is a fantastic opportunity, and he actually..."
"What did you say?"
Li Xiulan's voice was very soft.
But Lin Zongwei heard it and looked at Li Xiulan.
Her eyes were red, but she stared intently at him.
"What business do you want to have with Xiaoying?"
