Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Chapter 114 Stepping Forward

When Zhou Cheng suddenly brought up Lin Jianguo, the atmosphere at the dinner table changed instantly.

Lin's father, holding the bowl, froze, his face filled with embarrassment.

"Um... Zhou Cheng, why bring him up? He came by last time, but I told him to go back, and we haven't been in touch since."

Lin's mother chimed in, "That's right, it's better not to associate with those kinds of relatives."

They knew perfectly well that Zhou Cheng was giving them a warning, reminding them not to forget their roots.

Lin Wanwan was also puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, why did you suddenly ask about my uncle?"

Zhou Cheng glanced at her, didn't reply, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

He put it on speakerphone.

The call connected instantly.

"Mr. Zhou, it's done." It was Qin Yue's efficient voice.

"Speak," Zhou Cheng said calmly.

"The Lin Jianguo you asked me to look into is a foreman at a construction site in the east of the city. I had someone talk to his boss and got him a less demanding job with a 30% raise. His son, Lin Qiang, also got an internship at a state-owned enterprise. It's a regular position, but it's stable enough that he won't starve."

Qin Yue reported everything clearly.

At the dinner table, Mr. and Mrs. Lin were completely dumbfounded.

They thought Zhou Cheng had severed all ties with them, but little did they know that he had arranged everything behind the scenes.

What... does this mean?

"Hmm." Zhou Cheng finished listening and prepared to hang up the phone.

"Wait, Mr. Zhou," Qin Yue added, "The safety measures on the construction site are very poor, and there are many hidden dangers. A lawyer's letter has already been sent, demanding rectification within a specified period, or we will report it."

"understood."

Zhou Cheng hung up the phone and put it on the table.

The entire dining table was eerily quiet.

Lin's parents stared intently at Zhou Cheng, their eyes filled with unfathomable shock.

"Zhou... Zhou Cheng, what are you doing...?" Lin's father stammered.

"Uncle, Auntie," Zhou Cheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "I told you to ignore them, not to make enemies."

He paused.

"After all, they're brothers. We can disregard face, but we can't let them really suffer. I arranged jobs for them to do the elders a favor, so they won't have the face to make unreasonable demands again. As for the potential hazards at the construction site, that's just a side matter. If something really happens, it's Wanwan's uncle who'll be in trouble, and it won't look good for you either."

His words were perfectly watertight.

This not only demonstrated their skill but also gave the elders of the Lin family a tremendous amount of face.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin exchanged a glance, completely impressed by this young man.

Their mindset and perspective are far superior to those of people who have lived most of their lives.

"Zhou Cheng, Uncle... I don't know what to say." Lin's father's eyes were red. "Our Wanwan is so lucky to have you by her side..."

"Alright, Uncle, we're family, no need for formalities." Zhou Cheng waved his hand. "Let's eat."

This meal warmed the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

The grudge I had before because of the nanny incident seems to have been smoothed out.

With Zhou Cheng around, this family is like a pillar of stability.

But no one expected things to turn out so coincidentally.

Just as Lin Wanwan finished eating, her phone rang sharply.

An unfamiliar number.

She hesitated before accepting.

"Hello, is this Lin Jianguo's family member?" A very urgent female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Wanwan was taken aback: "I'm his niece, what's wrong?"

"Come to the Third Municipal Hospital quickly! Your uncle fell from the scaffolding! He's being treated!"

With a loud bang.

Lin Wanwan's mind went blank.

The phone slipped from my hand, hit the ground, and the screen cracked into a spiderweb pattern.

"Wanwan! What's wrong?" Lin's mother asked quickly when she saw that Wanwan's face was pale.

"Mom... Uncle... something happened to him!" Lin Wanwan's voice trembled.

"What?!" Mr. Lin jumped up from the sofa. "What happened?!"

"The phone said... he fell from the scaffolding and is being treated at... the Third Municipal Hospital..."

The faces of Lin's parents instantly turned pale.

"What are we going to do?!" Lin's mother stamped her feet anxiously, tears streaming down her face. "How could this happen!"

Lin's father was also completely distraught, pacing back and forth in the living room, muttering, "To the hospital, we have to get to the hospital right away!"

The family was in complete chaos.

Just then, Zhou Cheng stood up.

He walked to Lin Wanwan's side, pulled her into his arms, and gently patted her back.

"Don't panic."

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to have a magical power, instantly silencing everyone.

"Butler Wang," Zhou Cheng said calmly, "prepare the car. We're going to the Third Municipal Hospital."

"Yes, sir."

"Uncle, Aunt, don't worry." Zhou Cheng looked at Lin's parents. "There's no use in worrying now. Let's figure out the situation first."

He turned to Lin Wanwan and said, "Call your cousin and tell him to come over too."

In just a few words, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

The Lin family looked at him, and their panicked hearts calmed down.

A few minutes later, the black Mercedes-Benz S550L smoothly drove out of No. 1 Courtyard.

The atmosphere inside the car was tense.

Lin's mother kept wiping away tears, while Lin's father frowned and remained silent.

Lin Wanwan leaned against Zhou Cheng's chest, still trembling.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry... I've caused you trouble again," she said softly.

"Nonsense." Zhou Cheng squeezed her hand. "With me here, it's not a problem."

Half an hour later, downstairs at the Third Municipal Hospital's emergency building.

As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Lin Qiang and his mother, who was also Lin Wanwan's aunt, squatting at the entrance of the emergency room, crying and wailing.

"My God! You can't be dead! How are we supposed to live without you!" Auntie sat on the ground, slapping her thigh, her face covered in snot and tears.

Lin Qiang, a grown man, was also covered in tears and at a loss for what to do.

"Big brother! Big sister-in-law!" Lin's father rushed over.

When the aunt saw them, she rushed over as if grasping at a straw, and grabbed Lin's father's arm.

"Jianye! You're finally here! Quick, think of something! Your brother... he's dying!"

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened.

A doctor came out, took off his mask, and looked exhausted.

"Who are the patient's family members?"

"It's me! Doctor, I'm his wife!" The aunt rushed over, "How is my husband?"

The doctor frowned: "His life has been saved for now. However, he has multiple internal organ ruptures, massive bleeding, seven broken ribs, one of which has pierced his lung. His condition is very dangerous, and he needs a second surgery immediately."

"Hand surgery?" Auntie's face turned pale with fright. "How much will that cost?"

"Go and pay a deposit of 500,000 yuan first." The doctor glanced at her, his tone indifferent. "The subsequent costs will only increase. You family members, be prepared."

After saying that, the doctor turned to leave.

Five hundred thousand.

This number completely drained my aunt's energy.

Her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.

"Five...five hundred thousand...where am I supposed to get so much money..." she muttered to herself, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Lin Qiang was also dumbfounded.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin looked worried; they didn't have that much cash on them.

The entire corridor was deathly silent.

All that remained was the sound of her aunt's desperate cries.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhou Cheng walked over.

He stood in front of the doctor, his tone calm, yet carrying an air of unyielding authority.

"Doctor, money is not a problem."
