Chapter 1281: Who to blame?
Chapter 1281: Who to blame?
"F..Father, you will help me right?" Master Lin questioned his father. Even though he was in his fifties, he was behaving like a boy in his teens. Like a teenage boy who caused trouble in school, he was begging Old Master Lin to clean the mess that he had left behind.
"When did I say that I will not be helping you?" Old Master Lin questioned. He looked at his son over his bowl of porridge and added swiftly, "It's just that I do not have any money in my hands at the moment. You all need to take out your savings and deal with this problem,
anyway hundred billion can easily be collected as long as you sell all of your properties under your name."
"Father, what are you saying?" Master Lin panicked when he heard his father say that he would have to sell everything under his name. He wanted the debtors to back off but Master Lin did not wish to take out anything from his pockets.
He wanted Old Master Lin and the company to deal with this case for him.
"That's right, grandfather," Even Lin Xiaoyue was hesitant to take out the properties in her hands and offer them all because her father made a mistake. She couldn't understand why her grandfather was acting so stern, in the past her father made the same kind of mess and yet her grandfather had cleaned it up for her father.
She peeked at her grandfather and then said to him, "Grandfather, this...this is not a big problem for you, right? You can always deal with it. There is no need for us to sell anything, right ..? I mean if we sell our assets what will others think?"
Old Master Lin chuckled. He stopped eating and then picked up a napkin to wipe his lips, he then turned to look at his granddaughter who smiled at him flatteringly.
"Xiaoyue, you think that your granddaddy has a lot of money right? But that is not how it works," Old Master Lin picked up a glass of water and poured it on the ground. His actions caused Lin Xiaoyue and the rest of the Lin family's eyes to widen as they looked at him.
Master Lin questioned his father, "What are you doing, father?"
"Showing you all how the wealth of the Lin family has been used up," Old Master Lin answered. He poured all the water on the floor before putting the empty glass on the table. "Look at this glass, this is the Lin corporation and the water on the floor is all the money that you all have used up in this past few years."
He turned to his daughter-in-law who stiffened before relaying, "Diamonds, platinum and gold jewellery every week. You purchased Antiques every month since you married in my family, isn't that right Ah Hanying?"
Madam Lin pursed her lips and did not say anything, however her silence was more or less equivalent to her agreeing.
Old Master Lin then turned his attention to Lin Xiaoyue who curled her fingers around the chopsticks that she was holding. He said, "You emptied the Lin family's treasury to fill up your husband's company."
"Grandfather, I--"
"I am not blaming you. He is your husband, of course, you would want to support him but there is a limit to which you can pour money into his company. However, you have gone above and beyond that limit, even making use of the financial department of the company to help your husband."
After he was done speaking with the women of the house, Old Master Lin turned to his son. Just as he turned his head, the butler of the Lin family walked over from the kitchen, he was holding a tray with a cup of tea in his hands that he offered to Old Master Lin.
"And you, despite my repeated warnings and lessons where I told you that you were not as talented as your sister and you should not try to do something that you have no idea about," Old Master Lin sipped the tea that was placed in front of him and then turned to look at his son. "You however ignored my repeated warnings. Maybe you thought that I was just looking down on you, but answer me... my dear son... how many times in the past fifty years of my life have you caused trouble for me?"
"Do you think that the Lin family has a treasury that fills itself without requiring you to fill it back?" Old Master Lin questioned the entire family sharply. "In this family, there is only one person who earns and the rest of you spend all. From where do you think the money will return?"
The three members of the Lin family turned silent. As they were just used to spending money, they indeed were unaware of the money that had been taken out by them.
Old Master Lin stood up from his chair before putting down the teacup on the table. "I have nothing against how you deal with this matter, but stop putting any further strain on the Lin family. Everything has a limit."
After he finished speaking those heavy words, he walked away. Lin Xiaoyue who wanted to ask her grandfather where he had left the kids completely forgot about her children. She was more worried about the lack of money than her children.
"Mother, was Grandfather speaking the truth?" Lin Xiaoyue questioned her mother in a hurry.
"I think he should be," Madam Lin answered her daughter. She pursed her lips and then glared at her husband, "Who asked you to invest in so many stupid projects? Look at what you have done!"
Master Lin glared right back at his wife and then questioned her, "What do you mean by that? Did I do something wrong? It was you who bought so many things that were not only useless
but also expensive!"
"You are blaming me now?"
"Who am I supposed to blame?"
"Maybe your idiotic self!"
