Unable to Divorce After Signing the Marriage Contract Chapter 31.2

unedited

Lin Yu He said, “The investment money was not easy to calculate, so let’s use these shares to offset it. There were other things that had not been paid back, but Auntie Wu asked me to marry Mr. Lu. Since I am marrying him, it also counts as compensation.”

“How can things be calculated like this?” Father Lin became anxious when he thought about selling his son to get married. “It can’t be determined like this. The drug that the Wu family asked me to invest in was also later declared a failure. And the marriage, these things weren't owed by you originally, how can you call it compensation?”

He tried to reason with Lin Yu He.

“Dad knows that you are very powerful, but you really can’t count it this way. Little He, have you only been counting the money for all these years? These are just external things, we… what about our relationship?”

Lin Yu He was silent for a moment.

After a while, he said, “Dad, there still must be a clear settlement between relatives.”

“Some things must be repaid and figured out, not just the surgery fees and investments, but also the recovery drug costs, which are expensive.”

Because of the failure in investments, Father Lin was unable to recover the funds. In addition, when Wu Xiaohan graduated from elementary school, Lin Feng had promised her early on that he would take her to travel around the world during summer vacation. When they left, the costs for the family of three’s travels were all assumed by Lin Feng. When it came time for Lin Yu He’s surgery, there was no more cash on hand from Lin Feng.

Bronchial thermoplasty had to be performed three times, and the total costs of the operations was 100,000 yuan. The cost of the surgeries had been taken up by Wu Xin.

In addition, because of the failure of the investment, the recovery drugs for Lin Yu He had to be rearranged as well.

It was difficult for those who had not experienced it to understand the troubles and expenses of medicine after surgery. Fortunately Lin Yu He had some good luck, and there happened to be a new drug on the market that was very effective for him, as if it had been made for him.

It was fortunate that the right medicine could be found, but it didn’t mean that it could be used. The drug had just been developed and marketed, with no generic drug substitutes. It was still in the period of patent protection and was very expensive.

These types of new drugs generally had very few production lines. Even if one had money, they may not have been eligible to use it.

At that time, Lin Yu He’s hopes of getting the medicine were very slim.

But, in the end, Lin Yu He was still able to get the drug, and his postoperative recovery was good. He had no lasting symptoms, and his asthma was essentially under control.

“I remember that the cost of those drugs was 600,000 yuan.” Lin Yu He said. “There were also the drug qualifications, which were difficult to get…”

“600,000?” Father Lin interrupted him, “Who told you it was 600,000?”

Lin Yu He replied, “Auntie Wu said so.”

“There are also bill details for that year.”

“How is that possible?” Father Lin said in disbelief. “The medicine was given to you by the hospital because you got the opportunity. The costs were also reduced, there’s no such thing as 600,000…”

“Dad.” Lin Yu He was much calmer than Father Lin. “There were so many patients in the queue for the drug at that time, how was it possible for me to be chosen randomly?”

He also had no memory of drawing lots at all.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Father Lin insisted. “It was drawn by lots at the time, I remember clearly.”

Lin Yu He shook his head. “I think Auntie Wu did something, but didn’t tell you.”

“No, she made it very clear to me,” Father Lin said firmly. “Everyone in the Wu family made it very clear to me.”

“This amount of money was never spent.” He pushed back the bank card. “Take the money back.”

Lin Yu He didn’t answer.

Father Lin repeated himself, “Really, Little He, trust Dad on this. This amount of money was never spent, take it back, take the money back…”

"Dad." Lin Yuhe shook his head slowly, "It doesn't matter anymore."

"..."

Father Lin's voice stopped abruptly.

Looking at Lin Yuhe's calm expression, he was stunned. His whole persona was like a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and the chill penetrated into his bones.

Father Lin suddenly realised that it really didn't matter.

The important thing was never what happened three years ago, whether it was the 100,000 surgical fee that the Wu family took out, or the 600,000 medical fee.

He had the wrong focus right from the start.

The important thing was the child support for the past eleven years.

Eleven years ago was the year that Father Lin and Wu Xin had married. At that time, Lin Yu He was only ten years old.

What could force a ten-year-old to save up to pay off debt, and keep every expense so clearly recorded?

And in the past eleven years, Father Lin had never even noticed it once.

“Buzz-”

The dead silence was suddenly broken by the vibrating sound of the phone. The phone that Father Lin had put on the table lit up, and the screen displayed—

"Darling".

Lin Yuhe also saw the caller information.

It was from Wu Xin.

Father Lin’s hand shook, rejecting the call.

Lin Yuhe pushed the bank card back again: "Dad, take the money."

"If you don't want it, the Wu family will want it."

Father Lin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end even he couldn't refute it.

There was only heavy breathing in the room.
