Chapter 48 - Sued!
After Ye Weijun heard it, he couldn’t help but sigh, “A student from an ordinary family can actually have such investment foresight. He’s truly a genius! If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll have to meet this genius personally and have a good chat with him in person!”
Yu Jianhao smiled and said, “Lin Bai is still in school. When he’s on vacation, I’ll definitely bring him over to meet you.”
Ye Weijun did some mental calculations. It was only September, and the semester had just started.
There were still more than three months before the winter vacation, and he suddenly felt that time was very difficult to endure.
“I really hope that time passes quickly. I can’t wait to see him.”
After saying that, Ye Weijun smiled at Yu Jianhao and said, “But speaking of which, there’s someone who has a better judgment than Lin Bai.”
“Oh? Who is it?”Yu Jianhao asked.
Ye Weijun smiled and looked at Yu Jinmo, saying, “Of course, it’s this girl. She’s the one who really has a discerning eye and is good at judging people!”
Yu Jinmo instantly blushed from shyness, but she was very happy deep down.
It was not because Old Master Ye praised her good judgment, but because he praised Lin Bai’s talent and ability.
Yu Jinmo secretly thought to herself that she must tell Lin Bai as soon as she got back that he had received the recognition of the most powerful big shot in the capital.
She could not wait to see Lin Bai’s expression when he learns of this news.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Ye Weijun say with a smile, “Girl, why don’t you acknowledge me as your god-grandfather? How does that sound?”
“Huh?”
Yu Jinmo was completely stunned.
Yu Jianhao hurriedly nudged her with his elbow. Seeing that she was still in a daze, he directly agreed on her behalf.
“This child is already delirious with joy. She’s willing, she definitely is.”
“Jinmo, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and call Old Master Ye Grandpa.”
Yu Jinmo finally snapped out of her daze and cautiously called out, “Grandpa.”
Yu Jianhao said again, “Hurry up and serve tea to your god-grandfather.”
“Okay.”
Yu Jinmo did as she was told in a daze. She poured a cup of tea with her own hands and held it in front of Ye Weijun. She said softly, “Grandpa, have some tea.”
Ye Weijun beamed as he took the cup and praised, “Good girl.”
Originally, it was just a decision made in the spur of the moment. Now that he looked at Yu Jinmo’s face, the more he began to like her.
The early death of his biological granddaughter was irreconcilable grief in the depths of his heart.
Now that he had an adopted granddaughter, it seemed that even the pain he felt was slightly relieved.
The following topics were basically all about Yu Jinmo.
Ye Weijun asked Yu Jinmo about her life and studies with great concern. He also asked a lot of questions about the relationship between her and Lin Bai.
Yu Jinmo was very embarrassed by the questions, but she answered honestly.
Anyone could see that Old Master Ye really liked Yu Jinmo from the bottom of his heart.
Although he didn’t mention anything about helping the Yu family, acknowledging Yu Jinmo as his god-granddaughter was the best way to help.
With this relationship, there would naturally be a lot of people who wanted to please Old Master Ye. They would first try to rope in Yu Jianhao and Yu Jinmo.
From now on, they would no longer need to carry gifts around and beg people.
Instead, they would become the ones to be fawned on.
The difference between them was not just like the difference between heaven and earth.
…
Lin Bai slept soundly in the hotel until he woke up naturally. Then, he set off to return to S City.
In order not to expose himself, he had to return earlier than Yu Jinmo.
As soon as the plane landed, Lin Bai received a message from Yu Jinmo.
“See you at school tonight. I want to tell you some really great news!”
Yu Jinmo could not hide his excitement at all.
Lin Bai did not need to think to know what the good news was, but he still acted like he was looking forward to it.
“What good news? Can’t you tell me now?”
“No, no, no! Hehe, I want to see your expression after hearing the news in person!”
Yu Jinmo sent a very proud emoji, trying her best to keep him in suspense.
Lin Bai replied with a doting emoji and replied, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Yu Jinmo sent an emoji. On it was a turtle standing on an arrow. The caption read, “Returning like an arrow.”.
Lin Bai smiled as he browsed through the list of emojis, trying to find a suitable one to reply her with.
As he flipped through it, his roommate Luo Yang called.
Only then did Lin Bai notice that Luo Yang had already called him more than a dozen times.
He was in such a rush, something must have happened.
Hence, Lin Bai quickly picked up and asked directly, “What happened?”
Luo Yang roared on the other end of the phone, “F*ck! You’re finally willing to pick up the phone? Do you know how many times I’ve called you?!”
Lin Bai explained, “I was on the plane just now so my cell phone was switched off. What’s wrong?”
Only then did Luo Yang suppress his displeasure and replied, “The people from the court came to the school to look for you. They said that Shen Wanqing is suing you!”
Lin Bai frowned when he heard that.
“The people from the courts? Are you sure?”
Lin Bai said, “Of course I’m sure! They even showed their work permits!”
“No matter how bold Shen Wanqing is, he wouldn’t dare to let his subordinates impersonate the people from the court, right?”
Lin Bai thought about it and felt that it made sense. Impersonating a public official was a serious crime. Shen Wanqing shouldn’t be that stupid.
However, even if the people were indeed from the court, this matter was still very strange.
Putting aside how long the normal prosecution process would take, even if the court was extremely efficient, they would have already verified all the materials in the morning and officially accepted the case.
Could it be that they couldn’t notify him over the phone, couldn’t send him a subpoena, and had to go directly to the school to find him and make it known to everyone?
No matter how Lin Bai thought about it, he felt that the other party did it on purpose, just to make him bear extra pressure from public opinion.
Luo Yang said again, “Now, not only does our class teacher know about this, even the dean and deputy dean don’t know about it!”
“From what they’re saying, if this matter can not be properly resolved, they might have to persuade you to withdraw from school.”
Lin Bai sneered, “I didn’t violate the laws of the country nor did I flout the rules of the school. What right do they have to force me to leave?”
Luo Yang said, “The school’s authorities won’t care so much. Just a big issue that affects the school’s reputation is enough to force you out of school, or even expel you!”
Lin Bai knew that what Luo Yang said actually made sense.
There were many cases of the school persuading students involved in disputes and brawls, to leave indiscriminately in order to protect the school’s reputation, so much that it wasn’t considered news anymore.
However, when he thought about the possibility that such a thing might happen to him, Lin Bai felt the anger in his heart soar to the sky.
Although Lin Bai did not say anything, Luo Yang had been his roommate for so long, so he knew his temper very well.
He knew that the more silent Lin Bai was, the more angry he was.
He advised, “Lin Bai, I know that you must be very angry now. Anyone who encounters such a thing will definitely feel aggrieved.”
“But it’s useless to be angry. Nothing can change. You’d better hurry up and think about how to get Shen Wanqing to withdraw the lawsuit!”
