Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 2117 - 2121: The Wishful Scheme Is About to Fall Apart
"Dad, please don’t be like this!" Ho Jiayun hugged Ho Yumeng, pleadingly looking at Senior Master Lin and saying, "Dad, Brother Fan and I have finally found Mengmeng. Please, Dad, don’t treat Mengmeng this way..."
"Shut up," Senior Master Lin rebuked angrily, "What place do you have to speak here? Get out!"
"Dad," Lin Fan stepped forward, blocking Ho Jiayun and Ho Yumeng, and pleaded, "Dad, Jiayun and I only have Mengmeng as a daughter. I’ve finally found Mengmeng, Dad... Aren’t you... aren’t you happy for me?"
He had searched for eight years to find his only daughter.
He eagerly rushed back to share this joy with his parents, believing they would be happy for him. But why, why were they not happy at all, instead being harsh towards his wife and daughter?
Truly.
There was only astonishment on their faces.
Astonished that after so long, he could actually find his daughter.
Not a hint of joy!
These were his birth parents!
Why did they not care for his daughter?
What’s going on?
"You kneel down too!" Senior Master Lin rebuked angrily, his face livid, "You failed to teach your daughter properly, let her defy her elders and run away from home. Now she’s back, and instead of reprimanding her, you want our whole family to welcome her with open arms?"
Eight years ago, Ho Yumeng had left a letter before running away from home.
In the letter, Ho Yumeng criticized him for favoring the eldest and third over their second branch, being harsh and demanding. In due order, he forced the second brother to pay for the third brother’s son’s month-old banquet, disregarding her grandfather’s critical illness, ordering the second brother and his wife to attend, causing his wife to miss seeing her father one last time.
Back then, when Ho Yumeng left home, and his second brother’s wife missed seeing her father for the last time due to attending the third brother’s son’s banquet, somehow the news spread.
The letter Ho Yumeng left behind also caused a great stir.
That letter made him lose face, unable to hold his head high for a long time.
He loathed Ho Yumeng.
He had thought, if Ho Yumeng didn’t return, the second brother and his wife had no other children, it would be perfect for his eldest grandson to inherit the second brother’s company in the future.
But now, Ho Yumeng suddenly returned.
Although the second brother and his wife were obedient, judging by their devotion to their daughter, they might not be willing to hand over their company to the eldest’s son, leading to another round of disputes.
If Ho Yumeng didn’t return, giving the second brother’s company to the eldest’s son would be a rightful and straightforward matter.
Ho Yumeng’s sudden return blocked his eldest grandson’s path, so how could he show Ho Yumeng any kindness?
That’s what he thought, and his eldest daughter-in-law thought the same.
His eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Hesui, was sitting beside Senior Madame Lin at the moment.
Upon hearing that Lin Yumeng returned, she was initially in disbelief, followed by a tight knot in her heart.
Her son, Lin Hongyao, had originally planned to follow the path of their family master. However, a few months ago, her son had run into some trouble, almost facing legal consequences, and it took Senior Master Lin considerable effort to save her son.
Although her son was saved, he was tarnished and expelled.
Her son’s future was ruined, with no prospects left.
As a result, she and her husband set their sights on the second brother’s company.
The second brother and his wife had only Lin Yumeng as their daughter.
