Mu Cheng sighed and told her about how Su Zhen had once planned to give Lin Yin away as a gift in exchange for benefits, including the previous sensational cruise ship incident.
The cruise ship incident had pulled down many wealthy businessmen and government officials at that time, so Mu Cheng could still investigate secretly.
Moreover, Su Zhen and Chu Yun’s daughter, Su Fei, had also met with an accident on the cruise.
Therefore, Mu Cheng and Ye Wen guessed that Su Zhen must have brought Lin Yin over to sell her for money.
Later on, Mu Cheng found out about Lu Ming. Through the information provided by Lu Ming, they found out that Lin Yin was indeed present at that time. It was just that Lin Yin was smart and escaped, but Su Zhen, that black-hearted old man, was punished.
While Mu Cheng and Ye Wen were glad, they were also heartbroken that their daughter was actually living such a fragile life outside. If Lin Yin was even slightly negligent, she would be doomed.
Mu Kun’s expression was solemn, and his tone was filled with anger. “Outrageous. Su Zhen and Chu Yun must have been out of their heads. How dare they bully our Mu Family?”
Even if Mu Kun did not really acknowledge Lin Yin in his heart, Lin Yin still had the blood of the Mu family flowing in her. Mu Kun was naturally angry that a small Su family dared to attack the Mu family.
Mu Cheng did not tell Mu Kun everything about Chu Yun. After all, things were still unclear.
“So, Dad, give Yinyin some more time. She has relied on herself since she was young and experienced the betrayal of what she thought was her family. She probably doesn’t believe in family ties. Especially after Mom made a fuss today, I think Yinyin might be even more hesitant,” Mu Cheng said.
Mu Kun’s expression softened.
“As for Mu Ning’s matter,” Mu Cheng continued, “I still think we should find a
time to cancel the adoption procedures. In my opinion, when Yinyin was stolen and disappeared, we found a subst.i.tute to betray Yinyin. Even if we cancel the adoption procedures, she can still stay in the Mu Family. When the time comes, I’ll leave some a.s.sets for her as compensation for accompanying Mom all these years.”
“You know that these compensations can’t compare to a proper ident.i.ty as a member of the Mu family, especially as the adopted daughter of the future head of the family.
Mu Cheng smiled and said, “Of course I know, but that’s all I can give. A person’s love is limited. Ah Wen and I only want to give all our love to Yinyin. Mu Heng and the rest think so too. Therefore, if we force Mu Ning into our house, I don’t think anyone will be happy. Therefore, I hope Dad can talk to Mom about this. Otherwise, with Ah Wen’s personality, who knows what will happen in the future.”
Mu Kun pondered for a moment and finally said, “Since you’ve all decided, I can’t say anything else. I’ll talk to your mother about this. However, Ye Wen’s personality still has to change. More than ten years have pa.s.sed, but there’s no change at all. Instead, she’s even worse.”
“Dad, you know that Yinyin is Ah Wen’s lifeblood now. As long as it involves Yinyin, Ah Wen can’t tolerate it.” Mu Cheng shook her head helplessly.
The father and son sighed in unison.
As soon as Sun Yun woke up, Ye Wen brought Lin Yin back to her room and comforted her patiently, “Yinyin, what happened today has nothing to do with you. Don’t take it to heart.”
Ye Wen was really afraid that Lin Yin would be disappointed in the Mu family and her family.
Lin Yin was silent for a moment. With today’s situation, she really did not want to return to the Mu family officially. She could even imagine the kind of tizzy life she would be in after acknowledging them officially.
However, she really liked her family.
During this period of time, she had seen how protective Mu Cheng and his wife and her three brothers were of her.
She was not the kind of person who could knock over a ship with a stick, so Lin Yin looked at Ye Wen’s nervous eyes and smiled gently. “It’s fine. I didn’t take it to heart, and I won’t question your kindness to me because of these things.” Ye Wen heaved a sigh of relief. She wondered why Sun Yun, that old fool, would target her reasonable daughter.
After Mu Heng and the other two confirmed that Sun Yun was awake, they went to Lin Yin’s room to sit for a while. Then, the three of them said that they were going to prepare the tables and chairs for the moon. This was the first time Lin Yin had returned to the Mu family for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they wanted to do it personally..
