Reborn Into the Arms of My Possessive Billionaire Wife - Chapter 8

The words left everyone stunned, as if they had just remembered this issue.

“Rebellious child… Ah-Ran! What are you doing with all those shares? Quickly transfer them to me unconditionally, and once you graduate from college, I’ll transfer them back to you.”

Lin Jian chimed in, “Yeah, brother! Dad is the chairman. Having the shares under his name will strengthen his influence in the company.”

Liu Yuemei added, “Ah-Ran, be good! Listen to your father and transfer the shares to him so he can manage them for you.”

Lin Ran felt nauseated. How had he not noticed how repulsive this family was before?

He waved the severance document in his hand. “We’re just strangers now. You insulted me, so I’m angry. As a means of self-defense, I need to hit you to vent my anger!”

Even Xu Kai, the lawyer standing nearby, was taken aback by this statement.

“Leave them breathing, don’t kill them!”

Soon, the group was left bruised and battered, and Liu Yuemei and her son lost their usual composure, resorting to cursing Lin Ran.

“Ungrateful brat, I’m your mother! I’ve raised you for so many years, and you let people hit me? You’re just an ungrateful brat!”

Lin Ran retorted, “My mom’s name is Su Yanyan, not Liu Yuemei!”

“Brother! Please stop them from hitting me, it hurts so much!”

Lin Ran replied coldly, “You’re not my brother. I don’t have a brother!”

Even Lin Tianba, the father, began to plead, “Ah-Ran! Please make them stop. Dad was wrong, don’t hit Dad anymore!”

Lin Ran felt embarrassed by the lack of backbone.

In his previous life, even when Luo Yao tormented him to the brink of despair, he never begged for mercy. Yet Lin Tianba was pleading over a few simple punches.

“Who’s the father here, really?”

Lin Tianba, in agony, gritted his teeth and said, “You! You’re my father!”

Lin Ran chuckled.

“By the way, since we’ve severed ties, let’s clarify some things. When I was thirteen, my mom passed away and left me 30% of Surang Group’s shares.”

“I’m twenty-three now, so you owe me ten years of dividends from Surang Group, which amounts to three hundred million.”

“Today, I hit you, and according to the highest standards of pet hospital treatment, I’ll compensate you one thousand. Over the ten years I’ve been with the Lin family, I’ve spent eighteen thousand, so you still owe me two hundred ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-seven thousand two hundred. Remember to transfer it to my account!”

Lin Tianba was utterly shocked.

“What? Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?”

Lin Tianba wasn’t lying; he truly couldn’t come up with that much cash. Although Surang Group’s market value had reached three billion, it was impossible to produce three hundred million in liquid assets.

Many companies are like this; even if they reach a market value of a hundred billion, asking them to produce three hundred million in a short time is difficult.

Even if they could, he couldn’t move it; it’s company money, and he only owns 21% of the shares, less than Lin Ran.

Regardless of the facts, even if Lin Tianba had three hundred million, he wouldn’t give it to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran said, “That’s not my concern. My money was spent by you. My lawyer will be in touch, and if you can’t pay, I’ll send you to prison.”

Lin Tianba protested, “Ungrateful child! Haven’t I contributed anything in raising you all these years?”

Lin Ran scoffed, “Didn’t we just settle that? The day after my mom passed, you brought your mistress home. You started giving me 300 a month until I turned eighteen, totaling eighteen thousand. After that, I haven’t spent a penny of your family’s money!”

Lin Tianba was stunned. He hadn’t realized Lin Ran had spent so little of the family’s money. Reflecting on it, he felt a pang of guilt.

“But you’ve spent quite a bit on food and clothing over the years!”

Lin Tianba thought at least Lin Ran’s food and clothing were provided by him.

Lin Ran replied, “Yeah, I ate at school, and even at home, I cooked my own meals, cheaper than a maid, and often got punished by not being allowed to eat.”

“I wore school uniforms, never bought clothes before eighteen, and after eighteen, I bought my own clothes with money I earned from working. So let’s count that as child abuse!”

Lin Tianba was completely shocked. He realized he had been quite harsh on this son…

“Stop daydreaming. The dividends must be paid in full. If there’s even a penny missing, my lawyer will send you to prison, along with a charge of child abuse!”

With that, Lin Ran turned and left, leaving the people in the villa wailing in agony.

“Ungrateful child… Ungrateful child!”

Lin Ran exclaimed, “Ah… satisfying!”

As he exited the villa, Lin Ran spotted a pink bicycle parked at the entrance.

This was Lin Ran’s former mode of transportation, bought with money he earned from working, while Lin Jian had a luxury car worth millions.

As for why the bicycle was pink? Because Liu Ruxue liked pink.

But Liu Ruxue had never ridden this bicycle.

“Smash it!”

Back in the car, Lin Ran drove to Hua Tian Plaza, the most famous luxury shopping mall in the capital.

Upon entering the mall, Lin Ran was dumbfounded.

A shabby bag costs eighteen thousand? A cheap perfume costs three thousand eight hundred? Is a pile of dog poop priced at eight hundred eighty-eight?

Despite coming from the Lin family, Lin Ran had never shopped here because the Lin family never gave him money.

Before he turned eighteen, they gave him three hundred a month; after eighteen, not a single penny.

They called it “raising a child frugally.” Why didn’t they raise Lin Jian that way?

Even so, Lin Ran still tried to maintain the nonexistent “family bond.”

Ugh! He was so pathetic before!

Looking at the balance of thirteen thousand in his account, Lin Ran fell silent.

This was the money he had saved from working a whole summer and various part-time jobs.

He had planned to buy a bag for Liu Ruxue, but now he decided to buy a gift for Luo Yao.

He hadn’t expected the items here to be so expensive.

Even so, Lin Ran didn’t intend to use the black card Luo Yao had given him. It wasn’t about pride; he wanted to buy Luo Yao’s gift with money he earned himself.

As if sensing Lin Ran’s predicament, the store clerk began to ignore him. Just then, Uncle Fu approached.

“Mr. Lin, have you found something you like? Would you like to buy out the store?”

Lin Ran shook his head. “No, I want to buy a gift for Luo Yao with my own money.”

Lin Ran finally chose a bracelet priced exactly at thirteen thousand.

After paying, the store clerk gave him a polite smile.

Taking the bracelet, Lin Ran imagined how it would look on Luo Yao.

Luo Yao, this is my first gift to you. Though it’s not expensive, it’s all I have.

When I earn more money in the future, I’ll give you the best things in the world.

Suddenly, Lin Ran felt uneasy.

According to the plot of a novel, shouldn’t something happen around now?

“Lin Ran?”

Hearing Liu Ruxue’s familiar voice, Lin Ran’s face darkened.

“Damn! Bad luck!”
