Chapter 180 You'd better bring it back!
What are you still doing here?
The old man's tone wasn't very pleasant, but Lin Meng didn't mind.
She knew that was just the old man's personality.
Just then, the butler stepped forward and said, "Master, lunch is almost ready. Why don't you let Miss stay for lunch?"
The housekeeper swore that if he hadn't brought it up, the two of them would have remained at odds until the evening.
After hearing the butler's words, Old Master Lin simply glanced in Lin Meng's direction.
"Let her."
He then ignored Lin Meng, who was still in the greenhouse, and walked towards the restaurant.
Upon hearing this, Lin Meng didn't hesitate at all and followed the old man to the restaurant.
Seeing this, the old man snorted, but he was in a good mood.
He thought it must be because he saw the orchids blooming.
That's right, it must be for this reason.
It couldn't possibly be because he saw that rebellious woman.
Upon seeing this, the butler, who had been observing the situation from the sidelines, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then kept his accomplishments hidden and went to the kitchen to tell them that he wanted to add two more dishes that day.
Oh, and make sure the kitchen makes the dishes that Miss used to love the most.
For over ten years, the chef who makes the dishes that the young lady loves the most has never changed.
They tacitly kept the chef, but never asked him to cook those dishes that the young lady liked.
When the chef heard the news, he was so happy he cried tears of joy!
For so many years, those few of his signature dishes that he was so proud of haven't been ordered by the Lin family.
He thought he would never be able to cook those dishes again in his life.
But unexpectedly, the opportunity came so suddenly!
The young lady is back, and her groceries are back with her!
Inside the restaurant, one exquisite dish after another was served.
However, the two people at the dinner table were clearly not focused on eating.
"Dad, how have you been feeling lately? Is your headache still bothering you?"
"I'm perfectly fine."
"What about your blood pressure? I remember my second brother saying you couldn't eat anymore..."
"It's all good, all good."
"And blood lipids..."
Having not seen each other for several years, Lin Meng asked all the questions she had been wanting to ask at once.
This time, however, before he could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him impatiently.
"Alright, alright, I've already said everything's fine, so why aren't you eating properly?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mengcai simply said "oh" and quieted down a little.
Just then, as Old Master Lin was picking up some food, he asked a question seemingly casually.
"And you, how have you been these past few years?"
After hearing the old man's concerned question, Lin Meng was slightly taken aback, and then began to speak.
"My company has expanded significantly and is now quite well-known throughout China. I also plan to create a sub-brand in the Haicheng area..."
Upon hearing Lin Meng say these words, Old Master Lin immediately frowned.
He curled his fingers and tapped them three times on the table.
"Alright, I know you're very successful in your career, but what about anything else?"
Old Master Lin was more concerned about other aspects of Lin Meng, but unfortunately... he couldn't bring himself to ask directly.
Lin Meng replied blankly, "I'm in good health now, Dad, you don't need to worry. I'm strong enough to lift a bull."
Old Master Lin, "..."
housekeeper,"……"
Grandpa Lin put down his chopsticks and looked in Lin Meng's direction without expression.
He didn't say anything, just stared at Lin Meng.
Lin Meng lowered her head, avoiding Old Master Lin's gaze.
"Dad, Song Shifeng and I are divorced."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Lin's brows furrowed immediately, and he blurted out a sentence.
"Who bullied you? What exactly happened?"
"He approached me...with ulterior motives."
Lin Meng found it difficult to talk about her past blindness and mental delusion.
After briefly mentioning it, she immediately added, "However, I've already divorced him, taken revenge, and even sent him to prison."
I didn't let him get everything he wanted; I didn't lose out.
Upon hearing that he hadn't suffered a loss, the butler felt a sudden pang of sadness.
He had read everything about the young lady and knew how much she had gone through to achieve that short sentence of "not suffering any loss."
Our young lady... has clearly suffered a great injustice.
Even if that damned Song Shifeng is sent to prison, it won't be enough to quell the hatred in his heart!
His more than ten years in prison cannot compare to the youth of his young mistress!
Old Master Lin's face was also ashen.
Even though Lin Meng only briefly mentioned it without explaining what actually happened in between.
However, Old Master Lin knew very well that Lin Meng would never have done this unless Song Shifeng had committed some heinous crime.
He spoke coldly.
"Even if you don't tell me, I can still find out."
Lin Meng opened her mouth and briefly explained the situation.
Rather than showing the old man those detailed reports, it would be better for her to give him a brief overview first, allowing him some breathing room...
After hearing this, Old Master Lin's face was so gloomy it was almost as if ink could drip from it.
"Song Shifeng, you've gone too far!"
He didn't think highly of Song Shifeng at first, thinking that the man was dishonest.
But no one expected that, with the Lin family still being the richest family, Song Shifeng would dare to treat Lin Meng like this.
Clearly... after he secretly learned that Song Shifeng treated Lin Meng very well, he completely stopped receiving any news about Lin Meng...
Old Master Lin wanted to say something more, but when his gaze fell on the traces of time in Lin Meng's eyes, he ultimately refrained from uttering any harsh words.
"It's good that you're divorced. Don't make any more foolish mistakes later."
Hearing this, Lin Meng's nose also tingled with emotion.
"No, Dad. Right now, I just want to focus on my career and raise Xiaoxu and Suisui well."
When Lin Meng blurted out those two names, Old Master Lin's expression changed once again.
"These are the offspring of that bastard Song Shifeng? You're still supporting them?"
Sensing something amiss in Old Master Lin's tone, Lin Meng hurriedly offered an explanation.
“Dad, they are just my children now, and have nothing to do with Song Shifeng. Besides, Xiaoxu and Suisui are both very good, it's not what you think. I'll bring them to see you next time, and you'll definitely like them…”
"enough!"
Before Lin Meng could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Old Master Lin.
He slammed his hand on the table suddenly. Thinking of the suffering Lin Meng had endured over the years, he tried his best to suppress his anger and patiently spoke.
“Those two children have Song Shifeng’s blood flowing through their veins, and they are inherently flawed. You should stop worrying about them.”
"You'd better move back to the old house right now. If you want children, there are plenty of high-quality young men for you to choose from!"
The old man was an autocratic and eccentric person.
However, I've cultivated a more refined character over the years.
But that doesn't mean he's completely lost his temper.
He has already let Lin Meng make a mistake once, and he will never let her make the same mistake a second time!
