It was Su Ming's words that frightened Lin Tongtong just now.
What Lin Tongtong said now made Su Ming confused?
What does this mean? Do you feel bad about yourself if you refuse to see your parents? Or is it for some other reason?
Could it be that I have a misunderstanding about Lin Tongtong’s attitude?
Or does Lin Tongtong just like Su Xue and doesn't want to live with her?
But this shouldn't be the case either.
What's going on?
Su Ming couldn't understand these things.
Then he looked at Lin Tongtong blankly, his face full of disbelief.
Lin Tongtong also felt something strange about Su Ming.
Bingxue was smart and realized that her words would indeed cause misunderstandings for Su Ming. She quickly waved her hand and explained: "Su Ming, don't misunderstand. In fact, what I like about you is meeting my parents. It's really not suitable for you."
"Why?" Su Ming asked impatiently.
"Because..." Lin Tongtong hesitated.
Indeed, why? How should I tell him?
If I tell the truth, will it hurt his heart?
Will it make him feel frustrated?
Lin Tongtong thought for a long time and decided to tell the truth to Su Ming. If Su Ming found it difficult, she could work hard with him.
But if Su Ming wants to give up, then he will miss such a good man.
"Su Ming, actually I'm not from Jiangzhou." Lin Tongtong said slowly.
"Huh? If you're not from Jiangzhou, we can rush over to see them! We all have cars now." Su Ming felt a little impatient, so as soon as he heard Lin Tongtong's words, he immediately followed.
Lin Tongtong shook her head: "No, please listen to my explanation."
"My family is in Hudu, and my father is the chairman of the Hudu Changsheng Group. In other words, the Changsheng Group was founded by my father."
When Lin Tongtong said this.
Su Ming was already stunned.
Changsheng Group.
How could Su Ming not know that it was the Changsheng Group, a giant group that had become one of the largest enterprises in Shanghai through its real estate and beauty drug business? Su Ming was naturally deeply impressed.
Whether in the previous life or in this life, Changsheng Group is a famous large enterprise. However, in 2020, this once-famous Changsheng Group has long become a thing of the past.
At that time, Su Ming did not inquire about the Changsheng Group. He only knew that they collapsed due to some poor management.
"It turns out that the Changsheng Group belongs to your family." A look of surprise appeared on Su Ming's face.
In this way, Lin Tongtong's status is unusual. She is actually the daughter of a large company.
"Well, I don't say this because I don't think you have money. It's mainly because my mother fell ill and died when I was ten years old. Later, my father adopted a stepmother."
"If my mother were still here, I wouldn't have delayed you from meeting my parents today."
Lin Tongtong's face was slightly depressed.
Su Ming asked: "Is your stepmother treating you badly?"
He already vaguely understood why Lin Tongtong, a rich daughter of the Hudu Changsheng Group, came to Jiangzhou to work as a small teacher.
"My stepmother was very kind to me at first, because my father also doted on me and thought I was his missing piece of my mother. In order to gain some status in the family, my stepmother also doted on me very much."
"However, as time passed and I grew older, my father and stepmother gave birth to a child, a son. In addition, the older generation has a serious preference for sons over daughters. Is it because of my mother and my father?
What kind of wind is blowing in your ears?"
"If you leave your property to your son, you will always keep it in your own home. If it is given to me, it will be given to outsiders."
"My father ignored them at first, but as time went by, and my stepmother kept fanning the flames, she created some baseless things to discredit me. As time went by, my father's thoughts began to change."
"Then I got to the age where I wanted to get married."
Lin Tongtong paused for a moment as she said this, as if an old man was reminiscing about the first half of his life, his eyes were deep and full of sadness.
"It happened that Changsheng Group had some financial problems at that time, and some of them couldn't solve the problem. In fact, Changsheng Group still has this problem until now. I was working as a senior executive in Changsheng Group at that time, and I was very concerned about many things in it.
It’s crystal clear.”
"There is a man who pursues me in Shanghai. His family is in finance and he has a lot of funds. He specializes in venture capital, acquisitions, and stock market making."
"But even though they have a lot of money, they are typical of the nouveau riche. Their money was accumulated quickly in the past, taking advantage of the dividends of the times while the country was developing."
"And people who suddenly become rich all of a sudden have a somewhat chaotic mentality. That man has been messing around outside. As far as I know, he has at least four or five women living outside."
Su Ming knew it when he heard this.
With such an upstart, Lin Tongtong's parents must have found an opportunity to save Changsheng Group.
Lin Tongtong's stepmother will definitely not take Lin Tongtong seriously, and will 100% regard Lin Tongtong's marriage as an opportunity to get help.
After all, for Lin Tongtong's stepmother, it doesn't matter how Lin Tongtong is doing. What matters is how her children are doing. If Changsheng Company, which is losing money, on the verge of bankruptcy, and owes a lot of debt, is inherited by her children, she will
I definitely won't agree.
So Lin Tongtong suffered a little injustice in exchange for the stability of her family's assets, and in exchange for giving her son a company that could last her a lifetime, this was Lin Tongtong's stepmother's first choice.
Sure enough, Lin Tongtong's next words confirmed Su Ming's conjecture.
"Although I strongly disagreed, my stepmother has always been very satisfied. She insists on getting along with me and that upstart, and has been intentionally or unintentionally arranging for that person to come to my house for dinner, or to have a chance encounter with me somewhere."
But Lin Tongtong was even more desperate about what happened next.
"Later, the reason why I escaped from Shanghai and came to Jiangzhou was because of my father."
"One night, he told me that he wanted me to help him. He said that Changsheng Group is an industry that he worked hard for. Now it has really reached a dangerous moment. Let me help, marry them, and save them.
Changsheng Group.”
"That night, my whole world collapsed. I felt that I was not valued at all, and that I was just a tool in the hands of my parents."
"So I left overnight and came here to express my feelings to them. They came here at first and wanted to find me, but I told them that if they dare to force me again, I will let them completely
Can't find me."
"That's why I've been living here for more than three years. I don't know if their difficulties have been alleviated. Anyway, at least I've had some peace and quiet here."
"So if you say you want to take me with you to propose marriage now, it's like putting a sheep in a tiger's mouth. Although they won't force me to stay, they will definitely make things difficult for you in every possible way, so I won't let you go!"
Lin Tongtong's last words were very categorical. No matter what, Su Ming was not allowed to be made difficult by his family because of himself.
She deeply understood the reason for Su Ming's decadence last time.
He was hurt by a woman, defrauded of his feelings and money.
So this time, she was worried that Su Ming had a protective shield in his heart.
What if his parents once again ask him to get money in person, or ask him to do something to help the family?
There is no way Su Ming will collapse again.
Lin Tongtong didn't want Su Ming to be hurt.
But.
She forgot.
When she wanted to protect Su Ming.
How could Su Ming be willing to let her get hurt? How could Su Ming let a woman he liked endure such grievances for him?
