Chapter 2121: Chapter 2122: The Original Spouse Who Left With Nothing 41

Since this person is so savvy and has already paid the consultation fee, Zhang Yu considers himself a savvy person too, so he immediately answers the call.

After patiently listening to Lin Yu’s analysis, Zhang Yu says: You definitely need to go explain to Uncle Han.

Lin Yu responds: That’s what I think too, but I’m worried that if I call, they’ll ignore me.

Zhang Yu replies: I wouldn’t pay attention to you either. You’re trying to take my job; if I acknowledge you, that would be a problem.

Zhang Yu continues: Don’t go on about your innocence, just say your focus is on securing the big project. You’re worried about them sabotaging you, but you’re even more concerned about them throwing even bigger hurdles.

Zhang Yu asks: Can your in-laws access the family fund’s internal accounts?

If the Han Family is truly targeting the family fund, they definitely wouldn’t allow Han Family members to stay on the inside. Isn’t this a blatant threat?

Lin Yu is always respectful in front of Han Xue’s parents, but when they’re not around, he shows his true colors and holds contempt for the two elders deep down in his heart.

Lin Yu says: They’re clueless, just relying on the family fund to get by. How could they have a chance to access this? They would never be given the opportunity.

Lin Yu continues: Even if they know a thing or two, someone must have told them.

Lin Yu hesitates for a moment but decides to share the incident he overheard last time about his in-laws discussing some family matters.

Zhang Yu remarks: Don’t you think it’s a coincidence? Someone who never deals with family fund matters suddenly knows about these things.

Zhang Yu: If it were you, would you be willing to let such information spread so casually?

Lin Yu says: I’ve asked them; they don’t know who said it either. They happened to overhear it during a family gathering and said the other person’s voice sounded familiar.

Lin Yu: But they aren’t sure who said it.

Lin Yu lets out a helpless sigh: I didn’t think much of it before, but now, with such a big matter being overheard, it’s obviously troublesome. No matter how I think about it now, I feel like someone is setting us up.

Lin Yu feels very helpless, but given the current situation, what else can he do?

Zhang Yu advises: That’s why you need to talk to them, otherwise your project could be at risk any minute.

Once again, she’s grateful that she stood firm initially, deciding not to bear the consequences, no matter what.

Lin Yu asks: Do you think it could be a self-directed scheme by the Han Family? Since the matter came out, their reputation is ruined, but they might get sympathy from others, like Mr. Han.

Lin Yu recalls hearing someone mention that Mr. Han favored the eldest son and grandsons the most. Back then, he just listened and didn’t think much of it.

However, after entering the Han Family, he deeply understands those words now. The favor towards the eldest branch is extraordinary; it can be said the whole family supports them.

Zhang Yu can only say: Anything is possible, but, um, how should I put it, you have no evidence.

Zhang Yu: Without any evidence, saying these things will just make them retaliate.

Lin Yu lets out a helpless sigh: Yeah, it really is troublesome.

Lin Yu asks: Zhang Yu, what should I do?

Zhang Yu pauses: Then you just do your best and leave it to fate.

Huh? Lin Yu didn’t expect that after paying the consultation fee, he would get this sort of advice. It really leaves him dissatisfied.

Zhang Yu knows her answer will certainly upset Lin Yu: Do you feel my answer is disappointing?

Lin Yu responds: Yeah, I came here to ask how to handle this situation, and you just say do your best and leave it to fate. Do you think that’s worth the consultation fee I paid?

Zhang Yu listens, feeling not very comfortable: What you’re saying is, I provide consultation, not guaranteed problem solving. I don’t have the ability or means to solve it.

Zhang Yu continues: The other party is the Han Family. When you and Han Xue got together, someone from the marginalized Han Family, I couldn’t go up against them; do you think I’d have the courage to confront the Han Family, who have such a standing in the national financial circle?

Zhang Yu says in a bad tone: Lin Yu, you paid for a consultation fee, not a life-and-death mission fee.

Zhang Yu concludes: Well, this consultation is over, I’m taking a break.

After saying that, she didn’t wait for Lin Yu to respond; anyway, she’s said all there is to say, and what to do next is Lin Yu’s business.

Lin Yu hears the dial tone coming from the phone, lets out another helpless sigh, wondering what to do.

Having talked to Zhang Yu for a while, she gave some suggestions, but the problem is, those suggestions don’t solve the real issue.

What to do? Lin Yu is really confused and unsure of what action to take, but he must admit one thing: if no matter the approach, it’s futile, he might as well give it a try.

After all, the worst situation would be Uncle Han targeting them harshly. If that’s already anticipated, there’s nothing worse.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu musters the courage to call Uncle Han.

The Han Family is really infuriated today. They already have enough complicated matters recently and are reluctant to deal with more; unexpectedly, Lin Yu calls.

Uncle Han looks at the caller ID and scoffs a few times.

Brother Han observes his father’s expression is bad and asks: What’s wrong?

Uncle Han shakes his phone: You wouldn’t believe who just called.

Brother Han thinks for a moment: It can’t be my good uncle calling, could it?

Uncle Han shakes his head; the other guesses: It can’t be Han Xue, that slacker, right?

"It’s her man," Uncle Han reveals the answer.

What? Brother Han is stunned: You’re kidding, should we answer?

Uncle Han thinks for a bit: Answer, we must answer. If I don’t, they’ll suspect I’m guilty.

"Why would I be guilty? I’m not the one in the wrong," Uncle Han scoffs, "That kid thinks entering the Han Family and securing a few deals, winning Mr. Han’s praises, means he’s someone important."

Uncle Han quickly answers the call and immediately lashes out at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu knew the other party was in a bad mood but didn’t expect him to be this angry. As soon as the call connects, while just greeting, he’s berated harshly.

What to do? Besides listening carefully, what else can he do?

Seizing the chance when the other pauses: Uncle, I also heard from the news—no wait, my parents mentioned it, they overheard it during a family gathering.

He quickly summarizes the situation: Uncle, I know you’ll say there’s no proof. You might think I’m covering for them or trying to shirk my responsibility.

Lin Yu explains: You know my in-laws’ personalities; how would they ever access family fund details?

Lin Yu adds: Also, that day, they wouldn’t be the only ones who heard it.

Lin Yu emphasizes: Most importantly, even if I wanted to confront you, why wait until now? I’m not competing with you alone; there are international investment banks too.

Lin Yu argues: If you hinder me, I won’t obtain the deal. Distracted, you also won’t clinch it. Ultimately, who will get the deal?

Lin Yu tells: Mr. Han hates family traitors. Do you think I’m that foolish?
