Vera made her debut at the age of 20 and met Liao Tingwang at the age of 25. The two met once and were deeply attracted to each other. Half a year later, they secretly got married and started their own small family.
Liao Tingwang had been hiding the fact of his marriage from his family. He knew that Mr. Liao would never agree to him marrying an artist with no background. He pretended to be nice to his family and repeatedly rejected the candidates introduced to him by Mr. Liao.
The Zhou family's business ran into problems. Mr. Zhou and Mr. Liao were old friends and wanted to bring their daughter Zhou Chanying and Liao Tingwang together. Mr. Liao was quite satisfied with both Zhou Chanying and the Zhou family and was also willing to bring them together. At a business cocktail party, Liao Tingwang was drunk and sent to Zhou Chanying's room, where the two spent the night together.
Grandpa Liao and Grandpa Zhou thought the matter was settled, and they waited for Liao Tingwang to marry Zhou Chanying and return to the Liao family. However, they waited and waited, and even when Zhou Chanying found out that she was pregnant, Liao Tingwang still didn't say he would marry her. Zhou Chanying found Liao Tingwang and told him that she was pregnant, but Liao Tingwang told Zhou Chanying that he was already married.
Once this matter was made known to both the Zhou family and the Liao family, Old Master Liao was furious and asked Liao Tingwang to divorce immediately. Liao Tingwang disagreed, and the father and son quarreled. Old Master Liao went to Vera and forced her to divorce and give up her position, saying that she was not worthy of marrying into the Liao family.
What made Vera completely disappointed was that Zhou Chanying was pregnant. The child was Liao Tingwang's, which she could not accept.
Vera asked Liao Tingwang for a divorce, but Liao Tingwang tried to persuade her to stay and she had to agree.
After the divorce, Vera found out that she was pregnant. At that time, Liao Tingwang had already married Zhou Chanying under the arrangement of Mr. Liao.
Vera was confident that she could raise the child, but her body would not allow it. In the late pregnancy, Vera's health was getting worse and worse. She finally waited until the child was born, but her health was already very poor. She dragged her sick body to raise the child until he was three months old. She knew that she had too much time left, so she called Liao Tingwang and handed the child to him.
While Vera was still able to move, she arranged her affairs after her death, boarded a ship and sailed out to sea, never to return.
One month after the child returned to the Liao family, the nanny took the child to get vaccinated. The bodyguards waited outside the vaccination room. After waiting for a long time, the nanny did not come out. When they went in to look for her, they found that the nanny was gone. The bodyguards went to look for her separately and immediately contacted Liao Tingwang.
After receiving the call, Liao Tingwang called the police immediately and hurriedly drove to the vaccination center to find his child, but he was involved in a serious car accident on the way. After rescue, his life was saved, but he has not woken up and has been in a coma ever since.
By the time the nanny was caught, the child had already been sold to someone else. The police followed the clues and caught the trafficker who took over in Huaifeng County, D City, but they still couldn't find the child. The police interrogated the traffickers overnight, but they refused to give in. Two days later, they finally couldn't stand it anymore and confessed that they had thrown the child away. When asked where the traffickers had thrown the child, they were vague. After another interrogation, they finally found out that the child was thrown into the river.
The police officer who was questioning the child responded immediately that the child was gone. A child of only a few months old was thrown into the river. It had been so long that there was no possibility of survival. The police took the traffickers to identify the scene. It was the largest river in Huaifeng County. The river flowed through Huaifeng County and finally converged into a vast lake. There was no possibility of draining the water to retrieve the body.
Seeing this, Lin Jiu let out a long sigh: What's wrong with the nanny? Who sent her to do this
The nanny's son suffers from uremia and urgently needs money for a kidney transplant. She accepted the money from the Zhou family, whose goal was to let her kill the child. The nanny didn't dare to kill anyone, so the Zhou family contacted a contact person for her and asked her to find a chance to hand the child over to them.
Lin Jiu couldn't explain his mood at the moment, he always thought of himself as a child abandoned by his parents. It would be a lie to say he didn't feel any resentment, he couldn't help but think, if they didn't want him, why did they give birth to him? And after giving birth to him, they just abandoned him. What kind of parents would be so cruel
I didn't expect there were so many twists and turns here. He was not a child abandoned by his parents. It was just because of the scheming of some people that he became in this situation now.
Lin Jiu took out his cell phone, but it fell to the ground. He squatted down to pick it up and searched for Vera. Vera's photos and past performance videos popped up. Lin Jiu clicked on a picture and looked at the person in the picture carefully, lost in thought.
This is his mother. His mother's name is Vera. His mother is no longer with us. His mother loved him and didn't want to abandon him...
Lin Jiu felt that he should be happy, but his eyes were red. He knew who his parents were, but his mother was gone...
Jiang Xiwen came to find Lin Jiu and found Lin Jiu squatting on the ground, holding his mobile phone with red eyes.
Jiang Xiwen walked over quickly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Jiu shook his head, he just suppressed it for too long, being abandoned by his parents has always been a thorn in his heart. He said that he didn't care and had let it go, but how could he not care about such a thing? How could he let it go? He just buried it deep in his heart and didn't let it shine again. The longer it was, the more painful it became.
"Sister Wen, where is the boss?" came the voice from Wengcheng.
Jiang Xiwen was about to send him away when Lin Jiu pulled up the mask and covered his eyes, leaving his mouth and chin exposed.
Jiang Xiwen: “…”
The city that came over: "..."
Lin Jiu didn't want to be seen like this, so he stood up, stretched out his arms, groped his way out of the kitchen, and went to the staff lounge.
Seeing Jiang Xiwen being taken away by Lin Jiu, she said: "..."
Weng Cheng looked at Jiang Xiwen stiffly, "What happened to him?"
Jiang Xiwen pressed her forehead and said, "It's okay, just go and do your own thing."
Wengcheng glanced at the rest room and the boss really didn't look like he was fine.
Lin Jiu went home and took a nap, finally calming down. He also clearly realized the ugly face of the Liao family.
There is definitely no good reason why the Liao family is looking for him. He wants to see what tricks the Liao family is trying to play!
Lin Jiu went to the store today and paid special attention to the crowd, waiting for the Liao family to come to the door.
In addition to the people queuing in front of the shop, there was also a circle of people gathered. Lin Jiu took a look and it seemed that some people were surrounded. Could the Liao family's appearance be so ostentatious
The person working as a part-time waiter today is Huang Qi. With Huang Qi is a girl with a slim figure. This is the first time Lin Jiu meets her.
When Lin Jiu looked at her, the girl took off the mask on her face and let Lin Jiu recognize her face. There was not much expression on her face. She took the initiative to extend her hand, "Hello, boss. My name is Chang Beimu, reserve."
Chang Beimu's eyes are lighter in color, and she looks cold and aloof when she looks at people. She has a good appearance and a good figure. She has long black hair, which she casually ties into a ponytail at the back of her head, looking neat and tidy.
Chang Beimu also saw Lin Jiu's long hair. She had only heard of Boss Lin before but had never seen him in person. Now she saw him... but still could not see his face. Lin Jiu was wearing a mask, but Boss Lin's long straight black hair was particularly eye-catching.
Chang Beimu: “…”
Chang Beimu was stunned. Is this the head-butting type
Lin Jiu didn't care and asked Huang Qi, "What's going on over there?"
Huang Qi said angrily, "The three people who were surrounded said they were the boss' uncle and brother, and one of them was the brother's fiancée. They were said to be getting married soon. As soon as they came in, they introduced themselves and wanted to wait for you in the store, but were stopped by Sister Wen. Sister Wen asked them to call you, but they didn't, saying that they wanted to make things difficult for us. So many people have been trying to get close to them and establish a relationship with them. They have been talking for almost an hour."
Huang Qi didn't know whether they were Lin Jiu's relatives or not. Sister Wen said that it didn't matter. No matter whether they were relatives or not, they couldn't break the rules of the store. Without Lin Jiu's order, it didn't matter who came.
Uncle brother
Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes. Could they really be members of the Liao family
The three people surrounded by the crowd also noticed the man wearing a black mask standing at the door of the store. He was tall and long-legged, with a cold temperament, and his long straight black hair was tied up, and his pair of eyes exposed outside were particularly attractive.
Lin Jiu finally saw who they were at this moment, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
Lin Hai! Lin Hongcheng!
It turned out that it was the father and son who came.
Fang Yingying also saw the young man at the door of the store. She didn't need to say much, just a pair of eyes was enough to make people think about something dirty.
Fang Yingying knew that Lin Jiu was Lin Hongcheng's younger brother. She checked Lin Jiu's pictures on the Internet. He was really good-looking and beautiful, but the pictures on the Internet were not as impactful as seeing him in person. This was just a pair of eyes!
Fang Yingying pulled the stunned Lin Hongcheng and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The two have never been separated since they appeared. Their arms have always been entangled with each other, like conjoined twins, afraid that outsiders would not know how good their relationship is.
Lin Hongcheng came back to his senses. "No, nothing. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm a little surprised."
In Lin Hongcheng's impression, Lin Jiu was still that skinny, weak and pitiful little girl. Unfortunately, she had completely changed in appearance. Lin Hongcheng could hardly recognize her. The Lin Jiu in front of him hardly looked like the little girl she was.
Lin Hai also tried to identify them for a long time, and finally recognized that the person wearing a black mask was Lin Jiu. He stretched out his hand and waved in the crowd, and said to the people around him: "My nephew left home for several days and came to City A to make a living. He really made a name for himself."
People around came one after another and praised Boss Lin for being so capable, saying that it was really enviable that Lin Hai had such a good nephew.
Lin Jiu gave them a cold look and turned to go into the store.
Everyone: “…”
Someone burst out laughing. They had been listening to Lin Hai bragging for a while. He said that Lin Jiu's cooking skills were taught by his father. His father, Lin Changde, used to be a chef in a star-rated hotel. After retiring at home, he liked to teach the younger generation cooking. Lin Hai boasted that his cooking skills were not inferior to Lin Jiu's. He also planned to open a seafood restaurant, and then he and Lin Jiu would take care of each other. Everyone was encouraged to go and support him.
As a result, when he greeted them, Boss Lin ignored him and walked away without even coming over to say hello, let alone inviting them into the store. Many people around felt embarrassed for Lin Hai. This slap in the face was too big and too loud. Let's see how he can still keep it together.
Someone joked, "Is it because there are too many people here? Didn't Boss Lin see you?"
Lin Hai couldn't hold on any longer, so he quickly stepped on the stairs and said, "Yes, yes, he shouldn't be looking at us. I'll go check it out."
Lin Hai said as he squeezed out of the crowd and chased after Lin Jiu, "Lin Jiu!"
Lin Jiu walked into the store without looking back. Lin Hai chased him to the door but was stopped by Huang Qi and Chang Beimu.
Lin Jiu's attitude said it all. They didn't need to be polite to the boss's so-called "relatives".
Huang Qi: "We are not in the restaurant yet. If you want to eat, please go and line up."
"What meal do I use? What line do I have to wait in?!"
Lin Hai saw this person and tried to push him, but Huang Qi stood very steadily. Lin Hai did not push him and turned to push Chang Beimu. Lin Hai thought that a girl's strength could never compare to a man's. However, before his hand touched Chang Beimu, it was easily blocked. Lin Hai himself was pushed back a step.
Lin Hai looked at the girl in surprise. She was still standing there, not taking a single step back.
Huang Qi reminded: "Don't think that girls are easy to bully. She is a martial arts master. If you touch her again, you will lose your hand."
Lin Hongcheng, who followed over, saw Chang Beimu and his eyes were glued to her, staring at her chest and waist several times.
Chang Beimu is beautiful, with a nice face and figure, and a cold and indifferent personality, which can best arouse a man's desire to conquer her.
Fang Yingying pinched Lin Hongcheng hard, causing him to hiss in pain, frown in displeasure, and pull his arm back, no longer being conjoined twins.
Fang Yingying glared at Chang Beimu hatefully, but Chang Beimu remained expressionless.
"Lin Jiu! You ungrateful bastard. Now that you've become successful, you don't even recognize your uncle, right? Don't forget who gave you your life. Without our Lin family, you wouldn't be where you are now!" Lin Hai stood at the door and yelled at him without giving a single thought.
"Who gave him this life?" A cold voice appeared behind him.
Lin Hai turned around suddenly and saw a man wearing a black mask. The man was tall and slender, wearing a black coat. His eyes were as deep as a cold pond, and his eyebrows were full of sharpness.
Lin Hai was frightened by the man's aura and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Huang Qi and Chang Beimu called him "Captain".
Si Xu glanced at them and said, "Why are you stopping here? If you see anyone causing trouble, just drive them away."
Huang Qi and Chang Beimu responded in unison and made way for the newly appointed captain of Team Seven to enter the store.
Lin Jiu wanted to go into the kitchen, but turned back when he heard Sixu's voice, "Why are you here? Aren't you busy?"
No matter how busy he is, he will come to see her because he is afraid that Lin Jiu will suffer.
"It's not busy now, I came over to take a look." Seeing Lin Jiu, Si Xu's brows softened unconsciously.
Lin Jiu said Si Xu was worried that he could not deal with the Liao family. He had already known the truth, so how could he be deceived by the Liao family
"I'm fine here, go and do what you need, don't worry about me..."
"Lin Jiu! You ungrateful bastard! How dare you do this to me? Believe it or not, I will expose everything and make you lose everything! Let's see who is willing to come to your restaurant to eat. What good dishes can an ungrateful, heartless bastard make?!"
Lin Hai refused to leave and started yelling in front of all the guests, totally disregarding his dignity and face.
Lin Hai pointed at Lin Jiu's nose and cursed, "My dad picked you up and raised you with great difficulty. He was too reluctant to buy medicine when he was sick, and spent all his money on you. But you moved to the big city to become a big star right after my dad died. We are poor and can't be on the stage, right? It's embarrassing for you, right? Let me tell you, you must not forget your roots! Without our Lin family, you would have died in the endless river 20 years ago!"
Liao Tingyue, who was standing in the crowd, had his eyes flashing. He originally wanted to take a look at the situation before deciding what to do, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
Just as Lin Jiu was about to go out, Si Xu grabbed his hand. He wanted to solve the problem for Lin Jiu, but Lin Jiu held his hand back.
"I'll go. I have to solve this matter myself."
Si Xu stared at him for a few seconds and said, "Okay."
Lin Jiu walked out and stood at the door, looking at Lin Hai who wanted to make a big fuss, "Lin Hai, what do you want?"
Lin Hai was stuck. He didn't expect Lin Jiu to give in so quickly. He already had a plan in mind and was about to open his mouth to explain his purpose when he heard Lin Jiu open his mouth again.
"I don't care what you want. Before you open your mouth, you must do one thing to be qualified to talk to me!"
Lin Hongcheng spoke before Lin Hai could, "What is it? As long as we can do it, we are willing to do it!"
Lin Jiu said coldly: "Go back and start from the old house where Grandpa Lin died. Kowtow all the way to Grandpa Lin's grave, and then cry for 49 days, 24 hours a day without stopping. Come and talk to me when you are done crying! Your whole family must go, not even one person or one day will do!"
Everyone was shocked.
Lin Hai and Lin Hongcheng were also shocked. Lin Hai's hand was shaking as he pointed at Lin Jiu. He said "you" several times but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Lin Jiu's tone was icy, "Grandpa Lin adopted me, so you took the initiative to cut off your relationship with him. So many people ignored Grandpa Lin. When his house was demolished, you were quick to ask for money. Grandpa Lin was reluctant to die, and he was eagerly waiting for you to come and see him, but did you come? You didn't come when he died, and you didn't come to his funeral. Now you have the nerve to try to establish a relationship with him. Where do you get the nerve? You don't even recognize Grandpa Lin, what relationship do I have with you? Even if I owe him anything, it's to Grandpa Lin. I have nothing to do with you!"
Lin Jiu almost roared at the end, his eyes were red and his whole body was shaking.
Si Xu held his hand and hugged him.
Lin Jiu frowned, not wanting to be seen by guests like this. He couldn't think about it. Every time he thought about Grandpa Lin's death, the look in his eyes when he looked at the door, Lin Jiu couldn't stand it. Grandpa Lin wanted to see his biological children before he died. Lin Jiu called them, but they didn't answer. He went to their house to beg them to come and see him, but they didn't even open the door. How could they be so cruel!
Grandpa Lin died without waiting for them. Even at Grandpa Lin's funeral, it was the neighbors in the community who helped. Lin Jiu didn't know how he got through those days. The adults asked him to kneel, and he knelt. They asked him to kowtow, and he kowtowed. They asked him to cry, but he couldn't cry. It was not until Grandpa Lin was sent for cremation and the moment he was pushed in, that Lin Jiu cried loudly.
He finally realized that Grandpa Lin was gone. Grandpa Lin, who loved him, raised him and gave him the only family affection, was gone. From now on he was alone.
Si Xu patted him gently and whispered to comfort him, "Don't be sad, I will always be with you."
Lin Jiu slowed down, withdrew from Si Xu's arms, his eyes a little red.
"You want to come and make connections with me? First you have to prove that you have a connection with me. Go and kowtow until Grandpa Lin forgives you! Get out!"
Huang Qi no longer hesitated and dragged Lin Hai away.
Two big and strong guests pushed Lin Hongcheng away and said, "Let's go quickly. Don't delay Boss Lin from preparing lunch."
"I've never seen such a vicious person. He didn't even go to see his own father when he died. Is he still a human being?"
"He brags a lot, but ends up not being a human being."
"There really are people like this who do such things and still have the nerve to try to make connections?"
"He's not a human! He's a beast in human skin!"
Liao Tingyue, who was standing in the crowd, felt ashamed. These words seemed to be scolding their Liao family. Think about how the Liao family forced Vera to give up the throne, and now they wanted to take benefits from her children... Liao Tingyue felt that he could not save his face when he thought about it.
Si Xu took Lin Jiu back to the store.
Lin Jiu didn't say anything, and Si Xu just accompanied him quietly.
Lin Jiu went to the kitchen, took out the ingredients to prepare lunch. After being busy for a long time, he remembered that Si Xu was still there.
"I'm fine. I was just a little angry just now, but I'm fine now." Lin Jiu has calmed down.
Si Xu didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject, "Do you need my help?"
Thinking of the way Si Xu killed the tentacle, Lin Jiu couldn't help laughing, "I think it's better not to do it. I can do it faster alone."
Si Xu: "I heard a strong sense of disgust."
"Everyone has his or her own strengths. You're just not good at cooking." Lin Jiu picked up a shelled shrimp tail, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he dipped it in the soy sauce dish, quickly pulled off Si Xu's mask, and stuffed the shrimp tail into his mouth.
Jiang Xiwen, Huang Qi and Chang Beimu who were secretly observing this side: "..."
What's going on? Are they close enough to hug and feed each other at will
"Is it delicious?" Lin Jiu smiled.
Si Xu nodded, "It's delicious, the cooking skills of the chef are amazing!"
Lin Jiu swept away all his gloom and became smiling.
"By the way, my team seven has been approved. If you need someone to come for dinner anytime, just let me know." Si Xu almost forgot about this.
Lin Jiu was surprised, "So fast?"
The matter that was just decided last night was approved today. Could it be that it was approved earlier, but Si Xu didn't take up the matter and has been keeping it under wraps
Lin Jiu's guess was almost right. The "Special Security Department" wanted to keep Si Xu so much that they could basically meet any of his requests. He wanted a seventh team, and it would be approved in minutes. It didn't matter if there were no second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth. They would slowly get them in the future. They just wanted to keep this god first.
Lin Jiu knew that Si Xu was busy, so he quickened his work, and after finishing it, he prepared lunch for Si Xu and asked him to eat before leaving.
