Lin Zhaonan was different from Lin Gantang. Lin Gangtang would run helter-skelter when she was being beaten, but Lin Zhaonan stood straight and endured it.
Mr. Lin was really hitting him; the sound of the duster making contact with the flesh on his back could be heard.
Lin Gantang looked at the feathers flying out of the duster and gritted her teeth in pain for Lin Zhaonan. So her dad still loved her – he had gone easy on her the last time when he had chased her, but left her unscathed.
Jiang Tongtong’s heart ached as she watched the scene and she wanted to go over and tell Mr. Lin to stop, but she paused after taking half a step. She bit her lip, still angry at him.
Mr. Lin knew what to do. He stopped and reprimanded him. “I don’t care if this is true or not. I don’t care if there’s any misunderstanding. Just settle it quickly! You can’t even sort out your own family matters; how can I let the Lin Corporation continue to be managed by you?”
Mr. Lin lectured Lin Zhaonan for a long time.
Mr. Lin and Lin Gantang were both helping Jiang Tongtong. At least Jiang Tongtong did not feel helpless. She ignored Lin Zhaonan, but her emotions were no longer as agitated as before.
The sky was dark. Lin Zhaonan stood in front of Lin Gantang’s room for a long time, but Jiang Tongtong refused to come out.
“Tongtong, if you don’t come out and help me, I won’t be able to apply the medicine on my back by myself,” Lin Zhaonan said dejectedly.
Jiang Tongtong was unmoved.
The company’s matters had not been settled yet. Lin Zhaonan had to go over the next day, but still had to meet with business partners due to the current project. Under Jiang Tongtong’s furious gaze, Lin Zhaonan could not step out of the door.
Jiang Tongtong slammed the door shut.
“Do you still want to go?” Lin Gantang leaned against the railing of the stairs and reminded him, “If you go out today, you might not see your wife when you return – it might be the divorce agreement instead.”
Lin Zhaonan put down his briefcase.
“Tongtong is in a bad mood. If you leave, I won’t go to the bookstore. I’ll stay at home to accompany her. If you don’t leave, I’ll go to the shop and let the two of you have a good talk,” Lin Gantang said.
“I’m not leaving. You can go ahead with your work. Thank you for taking care of Tongtong last night.”
“What’s the use of saying thank you? Be more practical and turn gratitude into pocket money.” Lin Gantang didn’t show any mercy in taking advantage of her brother. “There’s also the lodging fee, emotional consolation fee, companionship fee, and so on. You can pay as you see fit.”
Lin Zhaonan retracted all his feelings of gratitude.
Lin Gantang was glad that her brother was not hopeless.
She busied herself for two days, and Lin Zhaonan had already handed over the project to his subordinates. Knowing that Jiang Tongtong cared about it, he did not contact that person again. Now, he went home early every night to accompany Jiang Tongtong unlike before, when he worked overtime all day long.
Lin Gantang couldn’t interfere in the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law. Seeing that Jiang Tongtong finally forgiven Lin Zhaonan, she was naturally happy for them.
However, the two of them had just reconciled for a few days. Just as Lin Gantang thought that the matter had passed, she saw Jiang Tongtong sitting in her room again at night.
“What’s wrong? Did my brother make you angry again?” Lin Gantang was puzzled.
Jiang Tongtong passed the phone to Lin Gantang with a terrible expression.
Lin Gantang saw the message from an unknown number on the screen. “I want to meet you to have a talk. Tomorrow at 5 pm, Susan’s Dessert Shop in Beaver Square. See you there. – Lu Siyu”
“Who is Lu Siyu?” To make Jiang Tongtong so bothered, Lin Gantang guessed, “The woman who previously fell into my brother’s arms?”
Jiang Tongtong nodded.
“How do you want to deal with it?” Lin Gantang asked.
“If it were you, would you go?” Jiang Tongtong hesitated.
Lin Gantang raised her eyebrows. “It depends on the situation. Last time, someone asked me to go to a coffee shop because of Gu Zhichuan, but I ignored them. If someone were to snatch Wen Yanqing from me, I would definitely go over. I don’t care about anything else. I have to chop off her hand that’s stretched out too far..”
