Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 161: Another Two Million

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Another Two Million

Outside the hotel, the lights were just coming on, dazzlingly bright.

Lin Qian hurried out and looked around, only to see Lin Hai being stopped by the hotel staff on the periphery, peering into the hotel.

When he saw her appear, his eyes lit up, and he waved at her, "Daughter, I’m here."

Lin Qian pursed her lips and walked towards him, lifting her skirt as she went.

With her appearance, the reporters squatting outside were stirred up and came swarming towards her, taking close-up photos of her and asking her questions.

The questions were all about her and Yin Moran. Lin Qian had no time to attend to these and spoke a few words to the hotel staff, asking them to let Lin Hai in.

Once the staff had let Lin Hai in, Lin Qian pulled him aside, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Why can’t I come?"

Lin Hai looked Lin Qian up and down, his face full of smiles, "My daughter is about to become the Madam Yin; as your father, isn’t it appropriate for me to attend the banquet?"

Madam Yin?

Isn’t it too early to even talk about that?

Lin Qian furrowed her brows, "Dad, let’s talk about this later. Please go back home for now."

Today was a special day for Old Madam Yin, and the guests inside were all reputable figures.

And her role was only as Yin Moran’s female companion, not any other status.

So what was Lin Hai doing here attending the banquet?

"What? You won’t let me in to drink a toast? Daughter, do you think your dad’s status embarrasses you?"

Lin Hai brushed off Lin Qian’s hand, visibly discontented.

"Not at all. But, Dad, it really isn’t appropriate for you to go in. I am only invited as Yin Moran’s female companion and do not represent any other status. So, you can’t go in today."

Lin Qian patiently explained, hoping Lin Hai would understand.

Hearing this, Lin Hai’s old eyes shifted, and he rubbed his hands together, "Not letting me drink the toast is fine. Daughter, I actually came to you today for something else."

"What is it?"

"Well, it’s just that Dad’s been a bit tight on money recently, and I was wondering if you could lend me some."

Lin Hai rubbed his hands, looking at Lin Qian as he spoke.

So he had come to ask her for money.

Lin Qian frowned, "How much do you need?"

"Not much, just..."

Lin Hai slowly raised two fingers.

"Twenty thousand? Dad, have you been gambling again?" Lin Qian’s brows grew tighter.

"What twenty thousand? It’s two million." Lin Hai gave Lin Qian a look of feigned surprise.

"What! Two million again? Dad, you..."

Lin Qian stared at Lin Hai, completely incredulous.

She remembered that Yin Moran had just paid off two million of his gambling debts, and she still owed Yin Moran money!

It hadn’t been long, and he was up to his old tricks again?

"Daughter, why are you making that face? It’s only two million, and to you, that’s just a trifle."

Lin Hai looked at Lin Qian, a complacent expression on his face.

"A trifle to me? Dad, where would I get that much money?"

Lin Qian choked up, her chest heaving, truly disappointed in her father to the extreme.

"You don’t have money, but Mr. Yin does."

Lin Hai was unphased, "Daughter, look, at this important occasion today, Mr. Yin wanted you as his companion, clearly because he wants you to be the future Madam Yin. So, for the grand Madam Yin, giving your dad two million should be nothing, right?"

"You..."

What flawed logic!

Absolutely unreasonable.

Lin Qian bit her lip, angrily said, "Dad, not to mention that I’m not yet Madam Yin, even if I were, I wouldn’t give you the money! How can you live like this? Isn’t there anything else in life for you besides gambling?"

How could she have a father like this?

Could it be that she has to keep supporting his gambling habits and become his ATM forever?

"You’re not giving me money? Lin Qian, you can’t be ungrateful."

Lin Hai’s face suddenly turned cold, "Don’t forget, I am your father, you have a duty to support me."

"Yes, I have a duty to support you, but that doesn’t mean I can give you money for gambling unconditionally."

Lin Qian looked at Lin Hai furiously, her fingers holding the hem of her skirt turning white.

"Hmph, do you want to be an ingrate?"

With a cold snort, Lin Hai suddenly knelt down as several people approached, his expression changing.

"My daughter, I’m begging you, please save your father, will you? You are doing well now and you’re about to become Madam Yin, you can’t forget your gratitude and ignore my life and death!"

Lin Qian was dumbfounded by Lin Hai’s shameless behavior.

What is this?

Playing the victim, putting her on a moral high ground in front of everyone?

"What’s going on?"

Behind her, Su Yu’an quickly approached Lin Qian and asked.

"Are you Mr. Su? Mr. Su, I’m Qianqian’s father, Lin Hai!"

Recognizing Su Yu’an, Lin Hai hurriedly said, "Please persuade her to save me!"

"Stand up and then talk."

Su Yu’an had no good feelings for Lin Hai, but bearing in mind that he was Lin Qian’s father, he patiently dealt with him.

"No, if Qianqian doesn’t give me money today, I will kneel here and not get up."

Asking for money?

Su Yu’an caught Lin Hai’s intent and glanced at the reporters around them, continually clicking their cameras, "How much do you want?"

Today’s occasion was too important, Lin Qian’s status was sensitive, they needed to resolve this quickly.

"Two million."

Two million?

Su Yu’an was startled, glancing at Lin Qian and instantly understanding why she was so furious.

Her father really never changes.

"Dad, I don’t have money, and kneeling won’t help! Please leave."

Lin Qian was both angry and anxious, feeling extremely exhausted.

"How can you have no money! Ask Yin Moran if you don’t have any! I don’t believe that after being with Moran for so long, he wouldn’t even give you a mere two million."

Lin Hai shouted at Lin Qian, showing total disregard.

"Dad, you..."

Lin Qian’s eyes turned red with frustration.

Beside her, Su Yu’an quickly patted her shoulder and reassured her, "Qianqian, don’t worry, let me handle this."

Lin Qian wiped the corner of her eyes, and before she could speak, she heard Su Yu’an saying, "I will give you the money, get up first."

"Really? Are you really willing to give me this money on behalf of Qianqian?"

Lin Hai’s eyes lit up as he stood up with the help of Su Yu’an’s support.

"Yes, I mean what I say," Su Yu’an nodded.

"No, Yu’an..."

"Yo, Su Yu’an, what do you mean by this? What is your relationship with Lin Qian? Why should you give money to this gambler?"

Zhao Wan, who had followed Su Yu’an, walked up with Gu Yan, having witnessed the whole scene.

Su Yu’an’s brows furrowed slightly, not having a chance to speak when Lin Hai retorted sharply, "Who do you think you are? My daughter was previously engaged to Mr. Su, and they had a good relationship. What’s wrong with him giving a little help when I’m in trouble now?"

"Heh, you really have the nerve!"

Zhao Wan, with a look of disdain, swept over him and Lin Qian, "Sure enough, lowly and despicable people are like maggots in a sewer, bringing misfortune to anyone they touch. Su Yu’an, this woman has been playing games with you, baiting you like a sucker, and you’re okay with that?"
