The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 79 Why Change Surname

In the office, Zuo Meng handed some information files in his hand to Lu Jingshen. Two days ago, he went to Jincheng in person on Lu Jingshen's instructions to inquire about the relevant information about Lin Jiaran and the Shen family.

Lu Jingshen flipped through each page carefully.

Lin Jiaran's original name was Shen Jiaran, and later she took her mother's surname. Lin Yehua is actually her uncle. After her biological mother passed away, her biological father Shen Boren remarried. After legal procedures were negotiated between the two parties, the eight-year-old Lin Jiaran was taken back to Ancheng by Lin Yehua's father Lin Shichang and adopted by her uncle Lin Yehua. Since then, the Shen family no longer has any information related to Lin Jiaran, and the relationship between the two families has been estranged since then.

"What about the marriage that the Shen family arranged for her?" Lu Jingshen frowned, he cared about this very much.

"I haven't heard of it. It shouldn't be. After she was adopted, the Shen family couldn't interfere in anything about Miss Ran. It's impossible for the Shen family to arrange a marriage for her privately. I also heard that even Mr. Shen has only met Miss Ran once in more than ten years, and that time was after Mr. Lin passed away. That year, Mr. Shen was seriously ill and was afraid that he would not be able to return to heaven, so Mr. Lin agreed. Even to Jincheng, Mr. Lin personally accompanied him."

"There is one more thing. It is understood that as early as last year, Mr. Shen made a new will. His personal exclusive shares in the group and all the movable and immovable properties of the Shen family, large and small, will be inherited by his granddaughter Shen Jiaran, now named Lin Jiaran, after his death. The only son and anyone else in the Shen family will not have any rights. If the heirs give up the inheritance, the company's shares will be divided equally among the members of the board of directors, and all other fund assets will be donated to the foundation without leaving a single cent to the Shen family." Zuo Meng stood respectfully and reported in detail the things he knew that were not written in detail in the document.

The file bag also included several photos of Lin Jiaran when she was a child in Jincheng. The person holding the photos focused on a birthday photo. Although it was a luxurious birthday party and she was surrounded by people celebrating her birthday, she was wearing a birthday crown but she did not have the same childlike smile as the others. There was only hopelessness and disgust in her eyes, and one could even sense a hint of hatred in her eyes.

Looking at the photo, Lu Jingshen's eyes were deep, and no emotion could be seen from his appearance, but in his mind he was wondering, what on earth must this innocent little girl have gone through to have her eyes filled with so many unhappy and hopeless emotions.

According to what Zuo Meng said, she was simply lying to him. As for why he mentioned Ye Qing, it was probably because he mistakenly thought that there was some relationship between them when they were in Shancheng before. It was probably similar to what she said a few days ago about him making up rumors that she and Lu Jingcheng had obtained a marriage certificate.

Lu Jingshen waved his hand to signal Zuo Meng to go out. After Zuo Meng left the office, Lu Jingshen walked to the window and looked at the tall buildings in front of him. He was silent for a while, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"I thought you wouldn't call me anymore!" The call was made to Lin Qing, and after the call was connected, Lin Qing's mocking voice was heard.

"What bad things did you say to her about me?"

"It's nothing. The thing she cares about most is that you have a rich love history and many exes."

"Nothing else?" Lu Jingshen questioned in a low voice. If that was all, why was she still so indifferent to him? In order to avoid going shopping with him, she even revealed her identity.

"No, she can't accept a partner with too much love history. I told you that you have been dating since junior high school!"

"Do you dare to say that you only made up this misunderstanding?"

"When you were in college, you got a girl pregnant and used your power to force her to have an abortion, which almost resulted in two deaths..."

"I'll give you a chance. Explain clearly why she changed her last name to Lin. I can forgive you for making up those untrue stories about me before."

"How did you know that her last name was Shen? But you'd better not mention the Shen family in front of her." Lin Qing was shocked. Obviously, it was unexpected that Lu Jingshen knew about this.

"She said it herself, why can't I mention it?" Lu Jingshen frowned and asked.

"If you want to be dumped, just ask. You'd better not try to get any information from her overtly or covertly. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want you to check her past and rub salt into her wounds."

"Why was she adopted?" This was the question in his mind. With the prestige that Mr. Shen had back then, it would be impossible for him to allow his own bloodline to be adopted, even if it was his daughter-in-law's maternal family.

"After my aunt, who is also her biological mother, passed away, her biological father remarried. Her inhuman stepmother abused her. No one knows how she abused her and she never said anything. It's just that in the first few years after she came to Ancheng, she was too scared to easily contact any unfamiliar people." Lin Qing was talking on the phone. On this side, Lu Jingshen let one hand hang down in a natural state and gradually clenched it into a fist. The fist was clenched tighter and tighter, and his eyes were full of anger towards the people who bullied her and love for her.

He thought that his parents' discord and the loss of his father at an early age were misfortunes, but he didn't expect that she had experienced more than him. Even if there were disputes within the family, at least he had never had the painful experience of being abused. He could tell from Lin Qing's anxious tone that this matter should not be brought up again casually, and the consequences of bringing it up again would be very serious.

"These are things my family doesn't want to mention again. I hope you won't blindly touch her weaknesses for your own selfish desires. If she has any mental problems because of you again, I will never forgive you."

A week passed, and in the afternoon, Lu Jingshen left the company early to take her to the hospital. The stitches on her wound could now be removed, and it was still Gu Qingze who removed them personally.

Lu Jingshen stood by and watched silently. Lin Jiaran was lying on the bed in the treatment room, and Gu Qingze was operating his work skillfully.

"The wound is healing fine. After the stitches are removed, you still need to keep it away from water for two or three days. After another week, you can apply some scar-removing ointment."

"You mean I still have a scar on my forehead!" Lin Jiaran frowned. In her impression, the scar would heal as soon as the stitches were removed, but Gu Qingze told her that she still needed to apply scar-removing ointment.

"Of course there is, but it's just a shallow scar, not very obvious. I'll apply some scar removal cream and it will be completely healed in less than a month."

When Lin Jiaran heard that she could fully recover, she finally felt relieved.

After treating the wound, Lin Jiaran took a step forward slowly, while Lu Jingshen lagged behind by a few steps because he was talking to Gu Qingze.

In the hospital corridor, Lin Jiaran's cell phone rang.

"Stop!" A sharp female roar came from behind Lin Jiaran. Lin Jiaran, who was holding the phone, was so scared that she lost her grip on the phone and it fell to the ground. She stood there motionless, her face turned pale and her eyes dull in an instant.

Lu Jingshen was walking behind and saw that the person walking in front of him suddenly stopped moving. He even didn't make any move to pick up his cell phone which had fallen to the ground.

He went forward and picked up her phone which had fallen beside her and was still ringing. The caller ID showed "Sister", and it was Lin Qing calling.

"What's wrong with Ranran?" He asked softly, taking her hand. Lu Jingshen saw the fear that suddenly emerged in her eyes with his shrewd eyes.

Lin Jiaran did not answer, but slowly turned around and looked over. The roar just now was from a woman who was yelling at her child who was wandering around the hospital corridor. Lu Jingshen followed her gaze and thought of the time when he yelled at her in protest when he was jealous a few days ago. The same look appeared in her eyes. In comparison, she was more afraid and terrified today.
