Chapter 1287: Lin's Mother Resurrected! A Platoon of Daughters-in-Law?

"Mom... Waaah..."

Lin Lang's sobs muffled Shen Cuiping's shoulder. His body trembled violently with sobs, his shoulders heaving, and the composure he had just maintained completely crumbled.

He sounded like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances, even his sobs were tinged with sobs.

Shen Cuiping held Lin Lang's head in her arms, gently stroking his back with her palms, the force light yet providing steady support, her tears falling onto her son.

Her voice was hoarse and soft as she cried, each word trembling with pain: "Son, I can't even imagine what you've been through all these years, all alone and miserable, after your father and I died in the car accident."

"You had just finished the college entrance exam back then. How did you manage to get through it all by yourself?"

These words seemed to touch the softest spot in Lin Lang's heart. He sniffled and sobbed, and it took him a long time to recover before he slowly loosened his grip on his mother.

He stepped out of Shen Cuiping's embrace, his eyes red from crying, with tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes.

"Mom, I've been doing quite well these past few years."

"Look, I'm tall and strong now, so sturdy, no one can bully me anymore."

Lin Lang straightened his back as he spoke, raised his hand to pat his arms and legs, his voice was still a little hoarse, but he tried to sound cheerful.

Shen Cuiping looked at Lin Lang through teary eyes, raised her hand tremblingly and touched Lin Lang's cheek, her fingertips tracing the strong lines of his jaw. His eyebrows and eyes were familiar, but they had been etched with too many hardships she had never seen before.

Shen Cuiping's tears fell even harder as her heart ached, her voice breaking as she sobbed, "Son... after your father and I are gone, your uncle became your guardian. Is he good to you?"

The moment his uncle was mentioned, the softness in Lin Lang's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by resentment. The grievances he had felt earlier surged back up, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "What's so good about it!"

“I was young then and didn’t understand anything. He coaxed and tricked us into taking over our house, and then kicked me out!”

"Over the years, they have never cared whether I live or die, and they have never treated me well!"

"That heartless bastard!" Shen Cuiping trembled with anger, her chest heaving violently. But when she thought of the years her son had spent helpless and bullied, her anger instantly turned into excruciating pain.

She pulled Lin Lang into her arms again, her grip so tight it was as if she were afraid of losing him again, crying and repeating over and over, "Son, I've wronged you, I've really wronged my good son..."

"Don't be afraid. Mom will love you and take care of you. If anyone bullies you, Mom will fight them to the death."

Lin Lang leaned against his mother's warm embrace, smelling the familiar scent of soap on her body, and his nerves, which had been tense for so long, finally relaxed completely.

The pent-up grievances and grief over his father's death surged up all at once, and he cried even harder. Only in front of his mother did he dare to take off all his armor and be a child who could freely vent his emotions.

Shen Cuiping wept as she gently stroked Lin Lang's back, each stroke filled with heartache.

This kind of love for one's son, born of blood ties, surpasses all other love in the world.

Because a mother's love for her son is genuine and heartfelt.

Those who know, know. The father may not be the biological father, but the mother is definitely the biological mother.

The good news is that Lin Lang will have a mother to love him from now on; the bad news is that he has lost his father forever.

The only saving grace is that Lin Lang can travel back to his father's life at any time and secretly see his vivid appearance and smile once again.

Lin Lang hugged his mother and cried for a long time by the roadside before he gradually regained some strength. However, his body was still trembling, and he did not care about the stares of passersby.

Fortunately, it was nighttime and the streetlights were dim, so passersby didn't notice that the person crying helplessly was the infamous Shanghai playboy, Lin Lang.

After a good cry, Lin Lang released all the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart. When she let go of her mother again, her emotions had stabilized a lot.

Shen Cuiping held Lin Lang's hand, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar street before her, bewildered and fearful: "Son, your uncle's family is so despicable, did they really spend money to support your university education?"

Lin Lang sniffed again and replied with tears in his eyes, "Because I am an orphan and a poor student, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics has a policy of waiving my tuition fees. I completed the university by working part-time to earn my living expenses."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping felt a pang of heartache for her son, but also said with a sob of relief, "It's good that you finished college, son. You are truly my pride. So, what kind of company do you work for now?"

Lin Lang raised his hand and pointed to the brightly lit Shanghai World Financial Center in the distance. At the time, it was the tallest building in Shanghai, reaching a height of 492 meters, with 101 floors above ground and three floors below ground. It looked incredibly impressive.

"Mom, do you see that Shanghai World Financial Center building?"

Following Lin Lang's gaze, Shen Cuiping said with a smile through her tears, "Son, you work in that building? It must be a high-paying job in finance, right?"

Lin Lang replied arrogantly, "Mom, that entire skyscraper, the tallest in Shanghai, is all owned by our Lin family. Hundreds of companies, large and small, inside are all subsidiaries of the Lin Group."

"And I, your son, am the chairman of the Lin Group!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping took a deep breath and exclaimed in astonishment, unable to hide her shock, "Really, son? Don't joke with your mother like this."

While wiping away tears, Lin Lang said proudly, "Of course it's true! Now, if your son stomps his foot, the entire financial circle of Shanghai will tremble."

After hearing this, Shen Cuiping still said with some disbelief, "You brat, you're just trying to fool your mother. According to you, wouldn't you be the richest man in Shanghai?"

Lin Lang raised his hand to smooth his hair and said pretentiously, "Mom, you're underestimating me."

"Your son is now the richest man in the world."

“Even the vital economic plans and technological development plans of our Xia Kingdom would stall without the cooperation of the technology companies under our Lin Group, causing the country’s development to be half a step behind.”

Shen Cuiping's eyelashes were still wet with tears, but she laughed after hearing Lin Lang's words, taking it as a joke her son was telling to cheer her up.

So, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, Shen Cuiping said, "Good, good, my precious son has made something of himself; he's the richest man in the world."

"Mom just hopes you'll be safe and sound. How much money do you care? As long as it's enough to live on!"

"Hehe...Mom, didn't you have high expectations for me when I was little? Why don't you want me to succeed now?"

Looking at her tall and handsome son, Shen Cuiping said with a sob, "When you were little, your mother was strict with you because she hoped that you would grow up to be able to support your family and live a good life."

"Tell your mother quickly, are you married to Jasmine or not?"

"Did your Aunt Qiaoyun and her husband object to Jasmine marrying you after you became an orphan and lost your parents' support?"

Lin Lang replied with a smile, "Mom, why do you think Jasmine and I are bound to get married?"

Seeing the smile on Lin Lang's face, Shen Cuiping wiped away her tears and said, "You brat, Mom knew you and Jasmine would get married when you grow up."

"You two are childhood sweethearts, you grew up together without any worries, who else would you marry if not Jasmine?"

Lin Lang scratched his head and said with an awkward laugh, "Mom, I have something to tell you, please don't be upset."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping asked in astonishment, "You didn't marry another woman, did you? What about Jasmine? You two have been so close since childhood, how could she marry another man?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully, "Mom, Jasmine is my second concubine. She gave birth to my eldest son, named Lin Haoran, who is now six years old."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping was both surprised and delighted. She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Heavens! Son, why are you not learning to be good? You've married two wives! Who is your first wife?"

Lin Lang didn't dare tell his mother directly that he had more than thirty concubines, fearing that the amount of information would frighten her.

So Lin Lang replied evasively, "Mom, your eldest daughter-in-law is named Chu Yiren. She is the heiress of the Chu Group and the beautiful chairwoman of the Shanghai Chumen Group."

Shen Cuiping's eyes widened instantly, and she said incredulously, "No way?"

"Son, don't tease your mother. Isn't Chu Jincheng the chairman of the Chumen Group? That's a powerful and influential family in Shanghai!"

"Mom, Chu Jincheng was my father-in-law. He passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack seven years ago. Chu Yiren is Chu Jincheng's second daughter. After marrying me, she gave birth to a pair of adorable twins, a boy and a girl, who are now six years old."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping was so shocked that she stood frozen in place for several seconds before she came to her senses and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Really, son? You've really become the Chu family's son-in-law?"

"Of course it's true, look!" Lin Lang took out a photo album from his personal space and handed it to his mother.

Shen Cuiping hurriedly took the photo album and began to look through it under the dim streetlights.

When Shen Cuiping saw the family photos of Lin Lang, Chu Yiren, and their two children taken at the Chu family villa, looking at the happy family of four and the adorable grandchildren she had never met in the photos, her tears fell uncontrollably once again.

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! Son, you've really made something of yourself!"

"Mom never dared to dream that you would grow up to marry the eldest daughter of the Chu family and give birth to such adorable twins!"

"Mom is so happy!"

"Suddenly, a legitimate eldest grandson and a legitimate eldest granddaughter appeared, along with the son that Jasmine gave you. Our Lin family will be prosperous from now on!" Shen Cuiping said, flipping through the photo album while shedding tears of joy.

Lin Lang didn't dare tell his mother directly that she now had thirty-six grandchildren in total!

"Mom, from now on, our Lin family will be a prestigious and powerful family!"

Unable to hide her joy, Shen Cuiping asked, "Son, tell your mother quickly, what are the names of the twins Miss Chu gave birth to for you, a boy and a girl?"

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "The boy is the older brother, named Lin Haotian, and the girl is the younger sister, named Lin Zhiyi."

"Those two little ones are so clever!"

"She taught me to be well-behaved and sensible, and I am very knowledgeable and academically excellent. I am much better than I was when I was a child!"

"Great! That's wonderful!" Shen Cuiping was beaming with joy, truly happy for her son from the bottom of her heart.

Lin Lang composed himself, his eyes reddening, and said, "Mom, I'll take you back to the Lin family villa now so you can meet Jasmine and your grandson, Lin Haoran."

“Every year during the Qingming Festival, Jasmine accompanies Yiren and me to visit your grave.”

"If Jasmine sees you come back to life, she'll be overjoyed!" Lin Lang's teary-eyed smile held a hint of anticipation.

Shen Cuiping closed the photo album and handed it back to Lin Lang, saying with a hint of worry, "But son, when Jasmine sees me suddenly appear in front of her and the child, won't she think I'm a ghost and scare her?"
