My brother is reborn and his engagement is changed; my ex-sister-in-law is pregnant again and again.

In a hospital, there are no secrets. If you encounter any strange patients or incidents, it will probably spread throughout the hospital's small groups in no time. Especially for a family like the Lin family, which is already in the spotlight, the whole hospital already knows about this.

The nurse had a good relationship with a reporter, so she told the reporter immediately. After all, the reporter had contacted her in advance, saying that she would be paid 5000 yuan to tell her the news.

"Sure?"

"Of course, how could this be fake?"

"Okay, I'll send you the money in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, the reporter first transferred the money, and then quickly produced an article based on what his friend had said. Actually, these reporters are quite capable; they can fabricate an article with just a few words. No wonder they can be reporters.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuze was at the company overseeing the progress of the comic. The first season of the comic was 80% complete, the peripheral designs were finished, and the related partner companies had already started producing the merchandise. They were just waiting for the comic to be released so they could make a fortune.

After watching for a while, Lin Yuze found a place to sit down and took out his phone. He originally intended to send a message to Su Rui, but when he saw the message that popped up in the browser, Lin Yuze frowned.

Liang Hongyan is hospitalized.

When Lin Yuze saw the pop-up window, he clicked on it subconsciously.

"Hmm? Overwhelmed with anger?"

"hehe."

"It seems Qin Mei has the upper hand in this dogfight."

Lin Yuze wasn't surprised by this. The reason was simple: others might not understand Qin Mei, but he did. This woman had no morals and no shame. Even he would have a headache dealing with her, let alone the useless members of the Lin family.

Although Lin Yuze didn't know how Qin Mei did it, he speculated that it must have something to do with money, and that she might have divorced Qin Mei because she wanted money.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yuze went to the hospital corridor and made a phone call.

"President Lin."

A voice came from the other side.

"Help me find out what's going on with the Lin family and Qin Mei."

"Just do your best in this matter; it's okay if you can't find anything."

Lin Yuze only asked his people to investigate, but in the Lin family and the Qin family, there were probably only two or three people who knew about this, so it would be difficult to find out. Therefore, Lin Yuze didn't have high expectations.

"Understood."

"I'll go check it out right now."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuze sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and looked at the report on his phone screen with a slight smile on his lips.

Meanwhile, an hour later, Liang Hongyan finally woke up in her hospital room. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her mind was still foggy.

"What do you suggest we do now?"

Liang Hongyan looked at Lin's father, her tone full of helplessness.

I'm completely out of ideas now.

Qin Mei had become so shameless, which caught Liang Hongyan off guard. She couldn't understand why such a pure and lovely girl could do such things. Thinking about this, Liang Hongyan felt furious.

"You said... how about we talk to the Qin family again, even if it's just to give them some money?"

Mr. Lin also felt that if Qin Mei's statement was true, it was impossible not to give money now; on the contrary, it would only continue to plunge the entire Lin family into a vortex of public opinion. Therefore, Mr. Lin now felt that as long as the divorce could be completed smoothly and a proper separation from the Qin family could be achieved, then giving some money would be acceptable.

"Give us money? One hundred million? Don't forget, we don't have much working capital left. If we give the Qin family one hundred million, our company will definitely collapse."

Liang Hongyan's tone was full of displeasure as she spoke.

"One hundred million is impossible, but we can always negotiate. Maybe tens of millions will do?"

Mr. Lin sighed and sat down on the chair next to him. He didn't want to give so much money, but what could he do? Qin Mei had the Lin family under her thumb. If they didn't give her the money, she would continue to harass them, and the Lin family would become a laughing stock. Moreover, if the child's affair was exposed, what kind of image would his son have?

This was something they, who doted on Lin Yurui, simply couldn't accept. Hearing this, Liang Hongyan sighed.

"Then let's give it a try."

"Hopefully these people won't make exorbitant demands."

Lin Yurui, standing nearby, listened to his parents' words and his face was filled with gloom and uncertainty. In his previous life, he was not as good as Lin Yuze, but now he was even worse than Lin Yuze. Thinking of this, Lin Yurui clenched his fists.

After settling things at the hospital, Lin's father could only arrange to meet with Qin's mother, since this stalemate couldn't be resolved indefinitely.

In a private club with high security and privacy, Lin's father and Qin's mother met. Because there were quite a few people watching them, they were very careful on the way. What should have been a ten-minute walk took them a full hour.

Mr. Lin and Mrs. Qin sat on either side of the sofa.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want in order to get a divorce?"

Mr. Lin asked directly, clearly not wanting to waste time. Hearing this, Mrs. Qin smiled.

"Your family is really something else. You've called me and my daughter so many times, and you still don't know what we think? If I remember correctly, we've talked about this quite a few times, haven't we?"

When Qin's mother spoke, her tone was calm. Hearing this, Lin's father took a deep breath.

"One hundred million is absolutely impossible."

"I'll give you a number, 3000 million. I'll give you 3000 million to get a divorce. Otherwise, you won't even have this 3000 million."

"Know when to quit while you're ahead, or I guarantee you'll regret it."

Mr. Lin looked at Mrs. Qin in front of him, but Mrs. Qin did not take his words to heart, and her face remained as calm as ever.

She picked up the water glass in front of her.

"Chairman Lin, is this a threat? If you really had that kind of ability, you wouldn't have invited me here today. Our stance is very clear: one hundred million, not a penny less."

"As for that 3000 million you mentioned... is that enough to appease a beggar?"

Lin's father clenched his fist, but before he could say anything, Qin's mother continued speaking.

"My daughter will go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup in three days. It would be bad if she were photographed by the media at that time."

"You guys are really shameless."

"Making money isn't shameful..."

Lin's father clenched his fist.

"5000 million, that's our bottom line."

Qin's mother smiled slightly. In fact, the Lin family had already lost when Lin's father took the initiative to contact Qin's mother. Taking the initiative to contact meant that their actions had made them worried and anxious. Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult to get them to back down.

"I said, one hundred million."

Lin's father was somewhat on guard.

"Is this how you conduct business?"

"One hundred million? Haven't you ever seen money before?"

Mr. Lin slammed his hand on the table and stood up. Perhaps because the sound was too loud, everyone around was looking at Mr. Lin and Mrs. Qin.

These gazes were filled with strangeness, and even a hint of mockery.

Hearing this, Qin's mother smiled.

"So eager? Look at their eyes, I wonder what they're thinking?"

"And I'm afraid there are many things about your son that haven't been revealed yet."

At this moment, Qin's mother looked at Lin's father in front of her.

"What do you mean?"

"Lin Yuze... his life story seems quite interesting. He was born to save his older brother, and then, after his brother survived and no longer needed him, he was simply abandoned in the countryside. If this got out, what kind of image would the Lin family have?"

"And Lin Yurui, you know your son very well. Is he really that clean? Why did a girl in his class transfer schools when he was 16?"

"And besides this girl, it seems... his university degree is also problematic. It's quite interesting; he didn't even take the exams, yet he was able to go to university..."

Hearing this, Lin's father broke out in a cold sweat. Aside from Lin Yuze's affair, the other two matters weren't actually unusual in this circle, but the current situation was special. If they were exposed now, his son…

"Do you still think 100 million is too much?"

Qin's mother spoke calmly.

"One hundred million...you..."

In fact, Qin Mei was very smart. She knew that the Lin family could come up with 100 million yuan, so she set this price. But if you asked for 200 million yuan, the Lin family would say they had nothing left. It wasn't an act; they really didn't have any. So, under these circumstances, 100 million yuan was the maximum price the Lin family could accept.

"you……"

"So think about it carefully, we don't want to do anything... we just want a hundred million."

After saying this, Qin's mother stood up from the sofa and left. Watching her departing figure, Lin's father took a deep breath.

After a few minutes, Lin's father went to the window and dialed Liang Hongyan's number.

"How did the talks go?"

"Not going too well...the other party..."

Lin's father could only briefly recount what had just happened, and Liang Hongyan frowned as she listened to his words.

"So what are your thoughts?"

"How about we give them a hundred million and shut them up right now..."

Hearing this, Liang Hongyan sighed.

"But if we give them 100 million, we'll really have no working capital left."

"This is basically putting us on the edge of a cliff..."

One hundred million is indeed within our means.

But what will happen to the Lin family after it's taken out?

"I have a villa mortgage loan, and some banks are willing to lend... I can always get through this."

At this point, Lin's father made a decision.

It's my eldest son... what else can I do? I'll just have to protect him.
