Chapter 1: Get out! I said get out now!

"Mom,门霸 could you let my mom stay with us temporarily for a few days? She'll move out as soon as she finds a new place," Lin Yu pleaded softly, his head bowed.

This middle-aged man wore a stern expression and coldly sneered at Lin Yu: "What do you mean 'our family'? This is my place, not our family! Besides, although our Zhou family isn't a big household, we're still somewhat well-known in Longjiang City. How could we just take in an old beggar woman like that?"

"My mom is not an old beggar!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth, forcing down his anger. "Mom, at least my parents helped you guys back then..."

"Shut up!" Liang Lingyu slammed her palm onto Lin Yu's face like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, furious and enraged.

Slap!

A red palm print suddenly appeared on Lin Yu's face, showing how ruthlessly Liang Lingyu had struck.

Liang Lingyu was most unwilling to mention was the kindness her parents had shown to Lin Yu when he came to the door as her son-in-law. Lin Yu, however, was so tactless, how could she not be angry?

“If it weren't for Ruoxi’s unwillingness to drive you away, do you think you, the despicable offspring of that old beggar woman, could still be staying in our Zhou family? I would never allow that filthy old beggar woman to taint my home!” Liang Lingyu roared, “Get out, get out of here right now!”

Lin Yu clenched his fists, his bones almost crushed by himself, he just lacked a punch to smash this hateful person's face.

Just then, Lin Yu's phone rang: "Ah Yu, come over quickly, the landlord threw my stuff onto the street, woo woo..."

"Mom, I'm coming right over!" Upon receiving a call from his mother, Lin Yu's anger vanished instantly. He immediately hopped on his electric scooter and sped toward his mother's rented apartment.

Riding the tram, scenes from the past swept through Lin Yu's mind...

Before the age of six, Lin Yu lived a very happy life. At that time, his family was very wealthy and one of the most prominent families in Longjiang City because his father was the second son of the head of the Zhongzhou Lin family.

They came to Longjiang because it's large and located in the southeast, with convenient sea routes. Lin Yu's grandfather wanted his father to establish a branch of the Lin family here, making it easier to expand their business into overseas markets.

But no one expected that the Lin family would suddenly encounter misfortune. It is said that Lin Yu's father colluded with foreigners and took away the Lin family's heirloom, which drove Lin Yu's grandfather to death. Then, his whole family was expelled from the Lin family.

Overnight, Lin Yu's family fell from heaven to hell.

To make matters worse, in order to restore his reputation, Lin Yu's father went abroad personally to retrieve the family heirloom of the Lin family. Since then, he has never returned and disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the world.

Lin Yu's mother also came from a prominent family in Zhongzhou. Her natal family urged her to return to her parents' home and remarry, on the condition that she abandon Lin Yu, who they saw as a burden.

The mother was unwilling to abandon Lin Yu, who was only six years old, and severed ties with her family.

The mother and son depended on each other, and the mother raised him by collecting trash.

If it wasn't for his mother's unexpected illness requiring a kidney transplant, Lin Yu would have definitely found a normal job to support his aging mother.

When her mother fell seriously ill and needed 500,000 yuan urgently, Lin Yu could only swallow his pride and ask the Zhou family for help.

He was betrothed to Zhou Ruoxi, the second daughter of the Zhou family. He knew that the Zhou family did not want to honor the engagement, but they were hoping that, considering the existence of the engagement, they could give him 500,000 yuan and nullify the contract.
