Chapter 778 Lin Tan's Calm Rebuttal

With just one sentence, Jiang Ruan understood that she did not want to meet Qin Mo.

She didn't force her, respecting her choice: "Okay."

Lin Tan: "Thank you."

"No need to be so polite." Jiang Ruan chatted with her about everyday things. "How's work going lately?"

"It went quite smoothly." A gentle light flashed in Lin Tan's eyes as she spoke, her whole demeanor graceful and poised. "I just received a notification to go for a second audition tomorrow. If I pass the second audition, I can join the film crew."

“With your professional skills, there’s definitely no problem,” Jiang Ruan said.

During the period when Lin Tan's dramas were gradually being broadcast, she could occasionally see some clips of her. Her acting skills and professional abilities were undeniable. As long as Huo Sinian didn't cause trouble, it wouldn't be difficult for her to establish herself in the entertainment industry, given her career-changing abilities and looks.

"Then I'll take your good wishes." Lin Tan also hoped that she was alright.

A few more minutes passed.

Lin Tan looked at the intersection ahead and said, "Just drop me off there."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

Not long after.

Lin Tan got out of the car.

Seeing the people standing by the roadside waiting for a taxi, Mo Mo asked as he drove forward, "It's not far from Ms. Qin's company, why don't you just take her there?"

“She’s not going back to the company.” Jiang Ruan saw through it at a glance.

Mo Mo: "?"

Mo Mo's head was filled with question marks.

"She just doesn't want to see Qin Mo at my place." Jiang Ruan understood perfectly but didn't expose her.

A hint of understanding flashed in Mo Mo's eyes, and she didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Tan really didn't want to see Qin Mo.

Aside from when there's something to do, she tries to avoid too much contact between the two of them.

Call her selfish, or say she's cowardly and doesn't trust Qin Mo, whatever.

She really didn't want her life to be thrown into too much turmoil anymore.

Lin Tan returned home with mixed feelings. As soon as she opened the door to change her shoes, her phone started ringing incessantly.

She took it out and it was a call from her mother.

She walked inside in her slippers and answered the phone: "Hello."

"Didn't you say you were going to transfer the money? Why haven't you done it yet?" Wu Yuelan's voice was urgent, and her worry and unease could be faintly heard. "The doctor just urged me again."

Hearing this, Lin Tan knew that they didn't know that Lin Ling had called her.

"Have you boarded the plane yet?" Wu Yuelan asked again.

“No,” Lin Tan said.

"Then transfer the money first." Wu Yuelan was afraid that she would notice something was wrong, so she didn't urge her too much. "I've already given your sister's money. If you're not comfortable with that, you can just transfer 100,000."

Lin Tan fell silent.

Wu Yuelan: "Lin Tan?"

Wu Yuelan: Are you listening?

Lin Tan sat on the sofa, her once beautiful and bright fox-like eyes now dim: "You care so much about Lin Ling, aren't you afraid that what you've said might come true?"

“You…” Wu Yuelan was about to speak.

"There's no money. Figure it out yourselves," Lin Tan said before hanging up.

Wu Yuelan: "?"

Looking at the two people who were completely different before and after, Wu Yuelan frowned and said to Lin Jiancheng beside her, "What does this brat mean? She changed her mind in such a short time!"

"Call again and ask," Lin Jiancheng said in a deep voice.

Wu Yuelan hit again.

Lin Tan did not answer.

Several calls went unanswered.

"She probably doesn't know anything," Wu Yuelan thought, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Lin Jiancheng remained silent.

Just over twenty minutes ago, they said they would transfer the money back.

After twenty minutes, I stopped caring about anything.

"Does she know anyone at the hospital?" Wu Yuelan asked.

"I don't know." Lin Jiancheng got into the car and suggested, "Send her a few more messages, exaggerating Lin Ling's situation, and see how she reacts."

Wu Yuelan did as instructed.

But the message was sent out without a trace.

Just as they were thinking of taking some special measures, the car arrived at their doorstep. As soon as the car door opened, they saw Lin Ling standing there, looking at them angrily.

At that moment, they understood everything.

Lin Tan received the message from her parents twenty minutes later.

Without exception, they all called her an ingrate, heartless, and said that it was wrong for them to give her some money. They said that it was only natural to be filial to one's parents and that it was only right to give money to one's parents.

She's happy to spend the money if they treat her well.

But her experiences from childhood made her unwilling.

If they treat her even a little bit kinder, she will do everything in her power to be kind to them.

Unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing good about it.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Lin Tan's phone continued to be bombarded with insults, anger, and resentment at not getting the money, all directed at her.

She can't block her.

It cannot be deleted either.

Once they do that, they'll tell the police they can't contact her.

"Buzzing".

My phone vibrated again.

Just as Lin Tan was about to get up and ignore it, she caught a glimpse of a text message from Lin Jiancheng on her phone screen: "[If you don't answer the phone, I'll sell all your information to those people again!]"

After I sent the message, his phone number appeared on my phone again.

Lin Tan hesitated for a moment before answering: "What is it?"

"Transfer 200,000 yuan." Lin Jiancheng made an outrageous demand, this time without even bothering to make an excuse. "Otherwise, I'll sell your phone number to those people who contacted us last time."

Lin Tan's expression remained unchanged.

I'm not surprised at all by these kinds of comments.

"No." She said this while pressing the record button on her phone.

"Stop giving me that nonsense. You just said you had 500,000 yuan for your sister's medical expenses, but now you don't have 200,000 yuan? Who would believe that?" Lin Jiancheng revealed his true colors, no longer bothering to pretend.

Lin Tan did not reply.

Lin Jiancheng continued, "If you don't want your phone number to be published, transfer the money."

Lin Tan: "Whatever you say."

Lin Jiancheng was taken aback by her words: "What?"

“Mobile phone numbers are personal privacy information, and selling personal privacy is illegal. I won’t stop you from going to jail for a few days if you want,” Lin Tan said in the gentlest tone.

“Who said I was going to sell it?” Lin Jiancheng immediately changed his tune. “Your friend just asked me to give it to him.”

Lin Tan: "I recorded it."

Lin Jiancheng: "What?"

Lin Tan said, "If my phone number is leaked later, you will be the prime suspects. I will hand over today's recording to the police and let them investigate."

"This is outrageous!" Lin Jiancheng was surprised by her words. "Do you even know that I'm your father?"

"I'm hanging up now if there's nothing else." Lin Tan hung up after saying that, and changed the file name of the recording and added a note.

Lin Jiancheng was furious.

He walked in and slammed his hand on the table: "That rebellious daughter!"

"What's wrong?" Wu Yuelan, who had been stopping Lin Ling from participating in the phone call, came out.

"What else could it be? I raised her all these years, and she won't even give me a little money." Lin Jiancheng said bluntly, his chest filled with anger. "I should have just let her starve to death back then!"

"If you dislike your sister so much, why did you give birth to her in the first place?" Lin Ling said, feeling indignant on behalf of Lin Tan.

Lin Jiancheng bluntly said, "Who told you she was..."

“It was your grandparents who urged us to have her.” Wu Yuelan quickly interrupted him, preventing him from saying anything wrong in his anger. “Otherwise, do you think we really wanted to have her? We couldn’t even get enough to eat back then because of raising her.”

Lin Ling didn't believe a word of it: "Do you even believe that yourself?"

As far back as she can remember, her parents treated her older sister badly.

She didn't understand why.

If she were a boy, then her parents would be like some other families, favoring boys over girls.

But she is also a daughter, and her parents' behavior is truly incomprehensible.
