Shen Yin did not know whether to laugh or cry as Lian Meng carefully listed her brother’s shortcomings. She helplessly pushed away Lian Meng’s fingers and said, “Alright, alright. If you say anything else, your brother will scold you when he hears it.”
“It’s not like my brother will come here.” She pouted and smiled smugly.
Sensing the loneliness that flashed across Shen Yin’s eyes, she instantly wished she could bite off her tongue. “Sister-in-law, do you miss my brother?”
During this period of time, Lian Jing had not come to the house in order to ensure their safety. He did not want Fu Ting to find them.
Shen Yin had heard from Lian Meng that Fu Ting must have dabbled in something illegal, which was why he owed so much money in Liancheng. Now that the company over there was about to go bankrupt, he must be driven to desperation. No one could predict how far he would go.
That was why Lian Jing had chosen to send them away at this time. That way, he could fight Fu Ting without any worries.
“Yes.” Shen Yin only hesitated for a moment before she flushed and admitted what was on her mind. “Although we can still talk on the phone, I just want to Imow if he’s eating and resting properly. As long as matters are not settled, I just can’t feel at ease.”
“My brother must feel the same way.” Lian Meng sighed. She took out her phone and found a photo of Lian Jing that Zhong Xin had secretly taken of him. She showed it to Shen Yin. “Sister-in-law, my brother has lost weight. When this matter is over, we have to go back and feed him up.”
“Yes, he has lost weight.” Shen Yin touched the man on the screen who was buried in the work on his desk, as if it was the only way to alleviate the longing in her heart.
At that moment, Lian Jing had just ended a meeting. His expression was so cold that even Zhong Xin did not dare to breathe too loudly.
It was supposed to be an inconsequential meeting. Fu Ting had thrown all caution aside lately and taken a large sum from the company without permission. 1–1e was discovered by the other members of the board of directors and they had complained to Lian Jing.
Zhong Xin thought that this might be an opportunity. But to their surprise, Old Master Lian also found out about this. In order to settle the matter for Fu Ting, he had personally gone to the office to attend this board meeting.
The people in the meeting room who were accusing Fu Ting immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to make a sound. In the end, they only asked Fu Ting to replace the money and publicly apologize to all the board members.
“Do you blame me?” Old Master Lian suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at his grandson kindly.
“No,” Lian Jing replied expressionlessly.
“Liar.” Old Master Lian snorted coldly. He already knew what was going on.
How could he not be suspicious when two people suddenly disappeared from the house? Now, Lian Jing was clearly targeting Fu Ting. He had no choice but to come out of seclusion and interfere with the company’s matters.
“Although Fu Ting is in the wrong, he’s still your Auntie’s only son. Can’t you let him off for my sake?” Old Master Lian persuaded earnestly.
In his opinion, the conflict between the two children was just a continuation of the estrangement between the previous generation. In addition, Lian Meng’s incident made Lian Jing even more intolerant of Fu Ting. But in the end, they were still relatives. They should not fall out.
Lian Jing pursed his thin lips and did not reply. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with Old Master’s interference just now.
Old Master Lian saw this and finally sighed. He got someone to call Fu Ting into the office and reprimanded him again in front of Lian Jing.
Fu Ting knew that the Old Master was protecting him. Although he was
inwardly feeling smug, he managed to look humble and admitted to Lian Jing that he was in the wrong. His hypocrisy was hateful.
Lian Jing looked at him as if he was a dead person. The thought of him touching Shen Yin’s clothes made him want to rip his hands to pieces.
Even in the face of his impeccable flattery, Lian Jing still maintained an indifferent expression. “Since you admit you were in the wrong, you have to learn from it and change. I’ve never asked about what happened in Liancheng, but someone reported you for illegal dealings there. How are you going to explain that?”
Fu Ting blinked innocently. He looked at the expressionless Lian Jing and then at Old Master Lian, who was frowning. There was no panic on his face, only disbelief. “That’s impossible. I admit that I did not manage my business well and caused the company to lose a large sum of money, but it wasn’t illegal! I’m a good and law-abiding citizen. Cousin, you can’t accuse me like this!” “Heh.” Lian Jing sneered and gave Zhong Xin a look.
Zhong Xin immediately understood. He took out the financial report that he had prepared and handed it to Old Master Lian. “Old Master, please take a look. This is the results of our investigation on the real financial situation of the Liancheng branch. Young Master Fu transfers money to an overseas account at a specific time every month..”
