If he had known about Lin Momo's existence earlier, he would have given her a better childhood.
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng once again felt guilty for what he had thought at the time.
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Lin Momo shook her head.
As if she could see what was in Lin Cheng's mind, Lin Momo grinned at him and said, "Dad is not late at all."
Lin Momo thought of the dream that frightened her.
In the dream, I don’t know why, my father knew her life experience at this time.
At this time, the entire Internet was filled with insults about them.
Later, Lin Cheng seemed to have encountered a lot of trouble.
However, the dream was not complete, and Lin Momo didn't know what Lin Cheng had encountered.
"Dad." Thinking of something, Lin Momo called Lin Cheng again.
"What?"
"You have to take care of yourself." Something must be wrong.
Lin Momo added silently in her heart.
"To be more famous, to be liked by more people, and not to be scolded by netizens."
Hearing Lin Momo's last sentence, Lin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little surprised. He then responded seriously, "Okay."
"Yes..."
Lin Momo bit her lower lip, hesitated for a few seconds, and then whispered, "If, if you have something else and don't have time to take care of me, you can send me somewhere else, even to someone else, but not to an orphanage."
Lin Momo believed that in the dream, Lin Cheng must have encountered a trouble that he couldn't solve by himself, and he was too busy to deal with it, so he let that person send her to the orphanage.
However, Lin Momo wanted to go there. She wanted to take pictures with the people in her dreams. She didn't want to be forced by them to smile in front of the camera and tell the camera that she was happy.
She should have felt pain in the dream, but when those strangers came to comb her hair one by one, Lin Momo could feel her hair being pulled so hard it hurt.
Lin Cheng knew what Lin Momo was really afraid of in her heart. When he heard this, he thought that Lin Momo was too afraid of being abandoned again, and his heart tightened.
"Yes, always." Lin Cheng looked at Lin Momo seriously and promised.
Hearing Lin Cheng's promise, Lin Momo felt relieved, and the fear in her heart seemed to subside a lot in an instant.
"real?"
"Yes," Lin Cheng nodded, and then said: "I will never give you away, and I will never send you anywhere. I will always be your father."
Hearing this, Lin Momo's face showed a big smile.
"Thank you, Dad."
As for Lin Momo's "thank you", Lin Cheng knew that it would take a while for things to change, so he could only rub Lin Momo's head helplessly.
"Okay, let's go back."
"Well, I'll take you out."
"It's useful." There is a driveway further out, which is safer.
"But the way out here is a bit roundabout. What if you..."
Lin Momo didn't finish the second half of her sentence, but from her daughter's worried expression, Lin Cheng guessed what she wanted to say.
—Is this girl afraid that he will get lost
The corners of Lin Cheng's eyes twitched, and he began to think about how to improve his 'overall survival score' in Lin Momo's mind, at least to a passing level.
"I remember the way I came in. I won't get lost again." Lin Cheng exposed Lin Momo's little thoughts.
Lin Momo: "Okay then..."
"Then what will you do tomorrow..." Lin Momo stopped talking halfway.
Lin Momo originally hoped that Lin Cheng could come earlier tomorrow, but her long-standing habit made her subconsciously dare not make any request to him.
"What?" Lin Cheng asked.
"Nothing." Lin Momo shook her head and waved at Lin Cheng: "Goodbye, Dad."
"Bye, I'll come early tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lin Momo's eyes showed a hint of beautiful satisfaction.
On this side, Lin Cheng watched Lin Momo run into the corridor before turning around and leaving.
After leaving the formal living area where Lin Momo and Liu Cuifang lived, Lin Cheng went directly to the main residence of the Lin family.
—
Lin family.
Hearing that Lin Cheng was coming, Mr. Lin was already very happy. He happily changed into his Squidward T-shirt and was already waiting at the gate.
As a result, when he saw that only Lin Cheng came back and didn't see Lin Momo, the old man's face fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Why are you the only one here? Where's Momo?" The old man reluctantly looked at the car behind Lin Cheng again, and indeed did not see Lin Momo.
"With her grandmother." Lin Cheng replied.
Hearing this, Master Lin pursed his lips, looked at Lin Cheng with disdain, and muttered, "Then what are you doing back here?"
"Take the household registration book." Lin Cheng said.
Mr. Lin was slightly stunned: "Household registration booklet?"
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "Give Momo a household registration."
After Mr. Lin recovered and resumed the management of the Lin family's affairs, in addition to teaching his two sons a lesson and driving Lin Cheng's father and his family out of the Lin family, he also did another thing. He kicked Lin Zhenhong's family and Lin Zhenming's family out of the Lin family's household registration, allowing them to "set up their own business."
In the entire Lin family, only Lin Cheng’s household registration is here.
This is also the result of Mr. Lin's persistence.
At this time, hearing that Lin Cheng came to get the household registration booklet to register Lin Momo, Mr. Lin was happy.
"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this. It's time to give our little Momo a household registration." And the sooner the better.
Mr. Lin nodded repeatedly and said.
Although Mr. Lin was quite dissatisfied that Lin Cheng did not bring back his beloved great-grandson, when he thought that Lin Momo would soon be registered as a hukou in the Lin family, Mr. Lin instantly became happy again.
Mr. Lin couldn't wait to take Lin Cheng to the study and handed Lin Cheng the family's household registration booklet from the cabinet.
"When will I go to register my household registration?"
"Tomorrow." Lin Cheng replied.
Hearing this, Master Lin nodded and said happily, "That's great. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a large table of dishes that Xiao Momo likes tomorrow."
After carefully observing three episodes of the live broadcast, Mr. Lin has basically figured out what kind of dishes Lin Momo likes to eat, and she likes that dish very much.
"By the way, I have to prepare some snacks. Momo likes them."
"Momo's room has been cleaned up, and I'll have someone bring some SpongeBob SquarePants over tonight."
"It's just that the flowers near the small swing in the back yard haven't grown yet..."
Grandpa Lin stroked his chin and started to plan how to welcome his great-grandson home.
However, Lin Cheng's words the next second poured cold water on Mr. Lin.
"You need to be prepared."
"you,"
"I'm planning to bring her here for the time being." Lin Cheng said.
"Why?" Master Lin frowned and asked in a deep voice, "I am her great grandfather. This will be Momo's home from now on. How come I, the great grandfather, can't even see my great-grandson?"
After Lin Cheng and Mr. Lin looked at each other for two seconds, he said, "The current Lin family is only suitable for Momo."
Lin Cheng's tone was calm, but Master Lin could hear a hint of hidden meaning in it.
He knew what Lin Cheng meant - during the years when he was recuperating and letting his two sons do whatever they wanted, Lin Cheng's time in the Lin family was not good, and this place certainly did not leave Lin Cheng with any good memories.
Now, the Er family tries every means to stay in the main house of the Lin family, and Lin Cheng's father also tries every means to come here to show his presence. His purpose is nothing more than to covet the Lin family's property.
This person really is something good.
It is indeed a good thing to let that person know about Lin Momo's existence.
Mr. Lin's expression fell, he sighed lightly, and said in a rather reproachful tone: "I was too lenient with them..."
After that, Master Lin looked at Lin Cheng and said, "Don't worry, your father is with your second uncle, I..."
After waiting for Mr. Xu to finish his words, Lin Cheng said without hesitation: "I will deal with them."
"you… "
Master Lin wanted to say something else, but Lin Cheng didn't say anything more.
"Don't worry, I won't let your child hurt my child."
After saying this, Lin Cheng left with the household registration book.
Behind him, the expression on Mr. Lin's face was gradually breaking.
"Listen to what this bastard is saying!"
Master Lin was so angry at Lin Cheng's words that he stared blankly. He pointed in the direction where Lin Cheng left and complained to Butler Zhou behind him: "What do you mean my child hurt his child?! I think he just wants to piss me off."
"I think the eldest master wants to protect the young lady." Butler Zhou said with an embarrassed look on his face.
, think about it carefully, there seems to be something wrong with the logic of what the young master said
Moreover, no matter whether it is Lin Cheng's father Lin Zhenhong or the second son of the Lin family, Lin Zhenming, these two have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and their target is the Lin family's property.
In the past year, the little tricks that Lin Zhenming and his wife have been doing behind your back against Lin Cheng, and Lin Zhenhong's attitude of not trying to stop it even though he knew Ye Yun was mistreating Lin Cheng, it turns out that Ye Yun simply favors Lin Cheng more, and they are worried that the Lin family's property will eventually fall into the hands of Lin Cheng.
Now, the appearance of Lin Momo is likely to once again break the balance that the two people thought they had.
It is hard to say whether those people will do something more considerate of their blood relatives.
Mr. Lin also understood this principle, but...
"I'll just arrange for those two to stay far away, so that we can avoid them if we see them first." Master Lin muttered.
Butler Zhou didn't say anything - after all, they were his own children, and Mr. Lin was indeed too merciful in his treatment of Lin Zhenming and Lin Zhenhong, otherwise he would not have let those two people jump around for so long.
At this point, Mr. Lin's handling of the situation was more decisive than Lin Cheng's.
From the information he knew, after the eldest young master accepted part of the Lin family's assets, he had cleared out the management rights of Lin Zhenhong and Lin Zhenming in just over a week.
"Don't worry about this matter, just leave it to the eldest young master. He will make the decision." Butler Zhou said.
Seeing that Lin Cheng was finally serious about protecting his child, Butler Zhou felt a little relieved for the old man.
"I just want to hear our little Momo call me great grandpa sooner, who cares..." Grandpa Lin whispered again.
Since he saw Lin Momo, Mr. Lin had no choice but to dig out the clip of Lin Momo's live broadcast room that he had recorded before to 'quench his thirst by looking at the plums'.
—
Two days.
Lin Cheng drove to the residential area where Lin Momo and Liu Cuifang lived early in the morning.
Before Lin Cheng arrived, Lin Momo and Liu Cuifang had already packed their things.
Liu Cuifang changed into her most fashionable outfit that she had never worn before, and Lin Momo also changed into her best outfit and combed her hair neatly.
A woman and a boy were standing at the intersection waiting for Lin Cheng, with their luggage beside them.
Seeing a car parked in front of her, Lin Momo felt both excited and nervous.
It wasn't until she saw Lin Cheng getting out of the car that Lin Momo felt relieved.
In fact, she was a little bit afraid that Lin Cheng would want her, just a little bit.
After nodding and greeting Liu Cuifang, Lin Cheng lowered his head to look at Lin Momo - only to see that the girl was looking at him with a pair of bright eyes, with a smile on her face, but she didn't say a word.
Lin Cheng stepped forward, tapped Lin Momo's forehead gently, and said, "Can you call me daddy now?"
Hearing this, Lin Momo raised her voice and called out, "Dad!"
The smug look on Lin Cheng's face widened a bit, and he rubbed Lin Momo's head again and said, "Let's go."
…
Lin Cheng took Liu Cuifang and Lin Momo to the police station where the Lin family was registered.
Since he had made an appointment in advance, after arriving at the police station, Lin Cheng went directly to the police officer who was responsible for liaising with them.
The entire settlement process is quite complicated.
After Lin Cheng submitted the proof of his parent-child relationship with Lin Momo and other materials needed for settlement to the police, Liu Cuifang told the police about the time she picked up Lin Momo and provided Lin Momo's current household registration materials.
After checking the materials in front of him, the police nodded and then asked a few basic questions.
When the police officer heard the key words "accident" and "the biological mother's details" mentioned by Lin Cheng, he glanced at him but quickly looked away.
There are not many strange things like this in wealthy families and the entertainment industry. Out of professional ethics, he will not gossip about such things, as long as the other party's follow-up and supporting materials are complete and reasonable and compliant.
"Please check these applications and explanatory materials. If there are no problems, please sign them." The police handed several documents to Lin Cheng.
After confirming Lin Cheng's signature, the police put the Lin family's household registration booklet into the printer.
When it was taken out, Lin Momo's name was already on it.
…
After completing the household registration, Lin Cheng sent Liu Cuifang to Jingyiyuan.
At this time, the house in Jingyiyuan had been tidied up inside and out, with all the furniture, daily necessities and daily supplies available.
In addition, considering that Liu Cuifang is already old, Lin Cheng hired a special nanny for her.
Seeing the conditions before her which were better than she had expected, Liu Cuifang was dumbfounded and repeatedly expressed that she could not accept such good treatment.
Lin Cheng, however, expressed that he did care.
Lin Cheng gave Liu Cuifang his cell phone number and said, "If you need anything, you can contact me at any time. If I need anything, you can also contact my assistant."
After a pause, Lin Cheng said to Liu Cuifang, "I will bring Momo back after the filming of the show is finished next week."
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Liu Cuifang shed a few tears of excitement.
Liu Cuifang originally thought that after Lin Momo was taken away by Lin Cheng, they would never have any contact with each other again. Now, hearing that she would be able to continue to see Lin Momo in the future, for Liu Cuifang, it was the best thing.
Wiping away the tears in her eyes, Liu Cuifang nodded several times towards Lin Cheng: "Okay, when you come back next week, I'll make you something delicious."
After that, Liu Cuifang looked at Lin Cheng again and asked, "What dishes do you like to eat? Or if you have any dietary restrictions, I will cook according to your taste."
"It's all right, just be the same as Momo."
"well."
Liu Cuifang nodded and looked at Lin Momo again. Although she knew that Lin Cheng would treat Lin Momo well, she couldn't help but remind him, "Momo, you have to listen to your father, okay?"
"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded.
After saying goodbye to Liu Cuifang, Lin Momo followed Lin Cheng and left Jingyiyuan.
Road.
Lin Cheng was driving, while Lin Momo was sitting in the passenger seat, holding her household registration booklet with a silly look on her face.
"Dad!" Lin Momo shouted.
"Hmm?" Lin Cheng responded.
Lin Momo didn't say anything.
After a few more seconds, Lin Momo turned her head and looked at Lin Cheng again, calling out, "Dad."
"What?"
Lin Momo didn't say anything, just called "Dad" several times in a row.
—This person is really her father.
Thinking of this, Lin Momo became even more excited.
"Dad, Dad..." Lin Momo called in a different tone, and her playful voice seemed to be speaking.
While waiting for the red light, Lin Cheng stopped the car and looked down at Lin Momo beside him.
At this moment, Lin Momo was flipping through the household registration booklet in her pocket, with a silly look on her face from time to time.
The expression on Lin Cheng's face also widened a little.
"You'll feel dizzy if you have to look at things while driving," Lin Cheng reminded.
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Lin Momo nodded, but still held the household registration book in her arms and refused to leave.
"I know. I'll just look at it for a little while longer." Lin Momo assured Lin Cheng while repeatedly turning over the page with Lin Cheng's name on it and her own page.
As she was flipping through the pages, Lin Momo turned the household registration book forward again. When she saw the information on the previous page, she was stunned and looked puzzled.
"Dad, who is Lin Yuanchang?"
