Billionaire God of War

Chapter 14

"Auntie, what were you chatting with my mum about?" Jiang Ning asked.

The auntie's face reddened and she waved her hands, "Oh nothing, nothing."

She quickly vanished after saying that. She had initially intended to poke more fun at Sumei's family since she had been scolded after they rejected the boy she introduced to them. But she didn't dare to anymore!

That boy working as a civil servant only earned four or five thousand a month. He'd probably never be able to drive such an expensive car in his life!

Sumei was just standing there in shock. Lin Wen's mouth was wide open too, and couldn't speak.

Neither of them could believe it.

"This car...”

Sumei took a deep breath. She thought Lin Yuzhen was kidding.

She didn't think Jiang Ning could afford it, and she also knew Lin Yuzhen really couldn't.

"Where's the scooter?"

Lin Wen realized Lin Yuzhen's scooter was missing and quickly asked about it. They had spent more than $2,000 on it.

"The car shop was having a trade in promotion, so we traded it in for a new vehicle."

Lin Yuzhen's face was all red because she was really terrible at lying. But Jiang Ning's face was very natural, and said this answer without batting an eyelid.

She nearly fell when she heard this.

Which shop allowed customers to trade a scooter for a BMW?

Lin Wen didn't believe it, neither did Sumei. They weren't stupid.

"Actually there was a lucky draw..." Lin Yuzhen tried hard to think of how to spin a realistic story, but she really couldn't lie.

"Jiang Ning bought it!"

She finally said it out. It was much easier to just tell the truth.

Sumei looked strangely at Jiang Ning, and she seemed to believe it.

This new son-in-law had surprised her from the first day he stepped into the house.

He had stood up for her and slapped Lin Feng, protecting their entire family from the very beginning. Even though she had not accepted Jiang Ning, but hearts were made of flesh after all.

"Alright, no need to explain to us.”

Sumei waved it off. Her heart felt much better after seeing how that irritating auntie had to shut up.

She looked at Jiang Ning seriously but didn't say anything. Then she pushed Lin Wen back to the house.

"My mum believed it?" Lin Yuzhen asked

softly.

"Does it matter?"

From afar he had seen how that auntie was clearly making things difficult for Sumei. So of course, he wasn't going to be polite in return and was going to get back at her for Sumei.

He wouldn't allow anyone to bully his mother-in-law either.

Jiang Ning said, "Come on, let's go home and eat."

Sumei's cooking was not bad. Or at least Jiang Ning thought so.

He had travelled round the world and had eaten all sorts of delicacies. He'd even eaten at places that cost a million dollars a meal, but he'd never eaten home cooked food.

When she saw Jiang Ning eat like he hadn't eaten in years, like a tornado going through the dining table, Sumei's eyebrow started twitching. She started wondering to herself, was her cooking really that delicious?

"Jiang Ning, let me ask you a question."

After so long, it was Lin Wen who managed to ask, "That car - did you really buy it?"

He still couldn't believe it. It cost nearly $500,000!

"Yup. It's just a car, no need to be all surprised," Jiang Ning spoke without even lifting his head. "Dad, after your legs get well I'll buy you one too."

This statement made the entire house go silent instantly.

Jiang Ning now looked up and saw helplessness and hopelessness on Lin Wen's face. Sumei's eyes were red and teary, while Lin Yuzhen sighed sadly.

"My legs..." Lin Wen laughed bitterly and shook his head.

There was no chance that he would recover. He was now a useless man. For the rest of his life.

"I know a doctor who's an expert in this area, he should be able to do something."

Jiang Ning's words made Lin Wen violently look up.

But then he thought about it more. Jiang Ning was a homeless man, what amazing person could he know? This guy seemed pretty honest, but he really loved to boast.

"Really?" Lin Yuzhen on the other hand, couldn't help but ask.

She knew Jiang Ning was no ordinary man. Even though she only knew him for two days, Jiang Ning had not hidden everything from her, and had displayed some of what he was capable of.

"Of course. He's now busy overseas, but once he's done I'll get him to come to Donghai,” Jiang Ning said casually.

Rea....really?" Lin Wen asked anxiously.

Jiang Ning nodded. "Don't worry."

Lin Wen became a little worked up, but Sumei gently patted his hand and he calmed down.

Could this new son-in-law be trusted?

After the meal, Lin Wen went back to his room, while Lin Yuzhen went to her room to prepare the documents she needed for the afternoon. Jiang Ning sat on the living room sofa and watched TV.

"Jiang Ning, come here for a while,” Sumei called out to him.

Jiang Ning walked into the kitchen and saw a knife in Sumei's hands. His face remained calm and there was even a faint smile on his face.

"Mum, you're looking for me?"

Sumei couldn't care less what Jiang Ning called her.

She glared at Jiang Ning and said very seriously, "Who on earth are you? What's your motive in getting close to Yuzhen? If you want to hurt her, I'll fight you even if it costs my life!"

Sumei was not stupid. Jiang Ning so far didn't look like a homeless man at all. And he most certainly didn't look like the stereotypical weakling that would decide to marry into his wife's family.

On the contrary, Jiang Ning was very strong and domineering! Today he had even nonchalantly bought a car worth a few hundred thousand. You call this a homeless man?

“Mum, I can guarantee you that I have no ill intentions towards Yuzhen, you, or Dad."

Jiang Ning calmly replied, "I want to be by Yuzhen's side to protect her, so that she doesn't get bullied by others.”

Sumei was still glaring at Jiang Ning and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Why?" She finally asked after several moments.

"She saved my life before.”

Jiang Ning took a deep breath, his memories returning to the time fifteen years ago. "There are some things I can't tell you now, but please trust me. When the time is right, you will know everything."

Kacha...

A room door opened and Sumei quickly kept the knife away. She whispered, 'Til trust you for now, but you must not touch Yuzhen, don't ruin her!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Got all your documents?"

Jiang Ning walked out of the kitchen.

"Let's go, I'll send you to the office.”

He then pushed Lin Yuzhen out of the door and sent her to the Lin Group office. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Lin Group Headquarters, CEO Office.

"Found out yet?"

Lin Qiang asked with a cold expression.

"Yup." Lin Feng smiled coldly. He had spent $500,000 to get the answer from one of Huang Yuming's subordinates.

"Before Huang Yuming struck it rich, he was also a homeless guy and almost starved to death. But Jiang Ning gave him half of his bun and saved him. They both once lived under the bridge together and can be considered acquaintances. Huang Yuming was just returning him a favor.”

He was indignant.

It was hard for him to accept that the truth wasn't that Lin Yuzhen had sold herself to Huang Yuming, but it was because of that useless Jiang Ning who married into the family!

"Can't believe it. Look at who you chose!" Lin Qiang shouted angrily.

Jiang Ning was actually chosen by Lin Feng. He had purposely chosen a homeless man who was mentally unstable.

But who could have known that this Jiang Ning actually had such a past with Huang Yuming?

"Dad, relax. For people like Huang Yuming, after they strike it rich, he won't let off his old compatriots. Once he's returned the favor to a homeless guy like Jiang Ning, that's the end of it!"

Lin Feng continued viciously, "After Lin Yuzhen and family have used up this one chance, who else will help them now?"

Lin Qiang narrowed his eyes. He knew people like Huang Yuming only too well. They were cruel and vicious in secret, but made themselves look good on the surface. Returning a favor to a person he knew when he was homeless might even make him look better.

But that was about it.

He was determined to make Jiang Ning pay for embarrassing him, and he was going to make him pay more than what he suffered!

"Have you arranged everything at the factory?"

"All done!" Lin Feng laughed coldly. "Lin Yuzhen is definitely going to regret taking this project back!"
