Chapter 554: 517 Ruined the Child, Still Wants to Take Credit (1 more update)

When the traffic police came to handle the accident, Lin Wenming, furious, had a fight with Elder Tan, but Lin Wenming was never a match for Elder Tan.

He had always been defeated by Elder Tan, it had always been like that.

"Hey, no fighting, do you hear me? If you keep this up, I’ll arrest you for brawling," the officer hurriedly scolded the two men.

"Do you know who we are? Even if we fight, it’s to resolve a family dispute. What’s it to you?"

"Our problem is not a family dispute, Lin, don’t fucking flatter yourself," Elder Tan did not agree with Lin Wenming’s reasoning.

Being contradicted in front of others, Lin Wenming was angry but couldn’t do anything to Elder Tan.

"Both of you, leave your contact information. Once the relevant department has calculated the compensation for the public facilities, we’ll get in touch."

Elder Tan left his contact information and had his ID card temporarily confiscated to prevent them from leaving Beijing. Besides, they are now in the network system; without this old ID, neither of them could get a new one.

When the time comes, they will issue a notice on the entire network.

"Do you want to settle the issue between you privately, or should we call the police station and have both of you make a trip there?" the traffic police officer asked, as they were only responsible for handling the traffic accident.

Civil issues were not within their jurisdiction.

"We can settle it privately."

Lin Wenming said. At this moment, Lin Menmen called Elder Tan, but he didn’t answer, so she had to call Lin Wenming.

Actually, she had impulsively asked Lin Wenming, who was near Xinghua Hall, to pick up Elder Tan earlier, and soon after, she regretted it; the two of them had always been at odds.

Lin Wenming was on her side; her elder brother Lin Wenming had always been very good to her, but Elder Tan didn’t like anyone who was good to her.

The moment they had the car accident, Lin Menmen’s heart rate spiked, and out of concern, she still made the call.

Seeing the call from Lin Menmen, Lin Wenming quickly answered, and to keep her from worrying, he lied, "Yeah, I just hit the curb when turning a corner, it’s nothing. We’ll be right there."

"Very soon."

After that, Lin Wenming cooperated well with the traffic cops, no longer looking for trouble; once they had finished dealing with the situation, Lin Wenming’s car was towed, and they had to take a taxi to the hospital.

Lin Wenming was more seriously injured than Elder Tan; when hailing a cab, Elder Tan moved quicker and more nimbly.

Elder Tan got into the car first, seating himself in the passenger seat, and Lin Wenming instinctively reached to open the back door. After all, whether Elder Tan chose Lin Menmen or Lin Jiaojiao, he was Elder Tan’s uncle by marriage.

Elder Tan should show him, this uncle by marriage, some respect, despite their squabbles.

However, Lin Wenming still didn’t understand Elder Tan well enough; after Elder Tan got in, he reached back and manually locked the rear door, then casually told the driver to go.

He must have a penchant for self-punishment to choose to go to the hospital with Lin Wenming in the same car.

Once at the hospital, Lin Menmen elegantly walked towards him, but Elder Tan, like a gust of wind, passed right by her side.

Lin Menmen: "..."

Although she had grown accustomed to Elder Tan’s disregard for her, every time it happened, Lin Menmen’s heart still ached incredibly.

She couldn’t understand why; she was blessed with advantages, clearly having better innate qualities than Lin Jiaojiao. What if Lin Jiaojiao was the Lin Family’s darling daughter, born with a silver spoon in her mouth?

Her life was destined to be fraught with hardships. She had encountered kind-hearted people who raised her, but ironically, that kind-hearted person was a hair salon girl. It goes without saying that a daughter raised by such a person would not be accepted by the Lin Family.

Parents nurture their children, actually expecting something in return.

There are selflessly devoted parents, but more often than not, such upbringing results in ungrateful wretches, unless they are extremely lucky to have a child who is naturally grateful.

Otherwise, sooner or later they’ll end up raising a failure.

Lin Jiaojiao had no special skills or talents and even picked up some bad habits like smoking and drinking from that hair salon girl—it’s no wonder she couldn’t make it into the Lin Family.

She was so infatuated with Tan Lixin that ever since she knew that, as the daughter of the Lin Family, she was destined to marry Tan Lixin, she had always worked hard, studied diligently, and tried her best to grow up. To maintain a good figure, she even curbed her desire to overeat.

However, after all her efforts, Tan Lixin was actually seduced by Lin Jiaojiao.

She would not accept this. She would never let these two off the hook for the rest of her life.

Regardless of how formidable Lin Jiaojiao may be, in this life, she’ll just end up with Tan Lixin’s empty shell, while the title of Mrs. Tan still belongs to her; she is the one known to everyone in Beijing as Mrs. Tan.

Having come to this realization, Lin Menmen cracked a smile and then turned around; she was the dignified and well-educated Mrs. Tan and the victim in everyone’s eyes.

Tan Lixin walked over, "What exactly happened?"

"What else could’ve happened? The kids were happy celebrating the New Year together, so they went out for a meal. Who knew that even a meal could lead to such a big issue?"

Elder Tan glared at his unfilial son and spoke irritably.

If it weren’t for his granddaughter lying on the stretcher, barely clinging to life and still calling out for her father, he wouldn’t have even considered letting Menmen inform this heartless, irresponsible man.

Men like that do not belong in the Tan Family—one that is neither loyal nor filial.

To neglect his own family for the sake of such a woman, to only be responsible for her?

"Which restaurant did you dine at? Have you spoken to the owner to find out what happened?" Tan Lixin retorted.

Everyone: "..."

At that time, everyone was anxious about the kids and didn’t think that far ahead.

Seeing the reaction of both families, Tan Lixin knew that all of them had come to the hospital to see the child and hadn’t dealt with the aftermath.

Tan Lixin was very rational; he thanked everyone for their concern for Rongrong, but as adults, they should not have acted like this.

"Who among the children went in? Did any child come out?" Tan Lixin asked again.

"Husband," Lin Menmen suddenly called out to Elder Tan as she walked over in high heels, her figure swaying seductively, "Don’t panic just yet; the other kids aren’t in a serious condition, only our Rongrong had to have her stomach pumped.

"It must’ve been some dish that caused the problem. You know, Rongrong is the favorite in our family and among her friends. Whatever she enjoys eating, others usually just have a little taste while she indulges on her own."

Tan Lixin angrily shook off Lin Menmen’s hand from his arm as he glared at her, "You let Rongrong come to this, and now you have the audacity to solicit credit from me, do you?"

"..."

Lin Menmen was flung to the side, and had it not been for a handrail by the wall, she might have ended up in quite a disgraceful state.

Her complexion turned pale in an instant, her eyes reddened, and tears fell heavily as she cried silently.

The most pitiable was Lin Menmen at this moment, crying fiercely, her whole body trembling, yet without a single sound of sobbing.
