C224 Trip Him up

"We'll probably be out of town around the Spring Festival. We don't know if the Spring Festival crew will be on vacation."

Qiao Lin understood Qiao Yan's intention, hoping that he would be able to integrate into that family. However, there were many things that he would not be able to solve when he returned, and there was a possibility that it would be even worse.

However, he could not reject Qiao Yan's good intentions, so he could only find an excuse to stall her.

It was hard to say if the crew would give them a day or two of falsehood, because the new scenes had already affected the scheduled postproduction time. For a TV show, The Young People's Journey had already taken up too much time, and there was no guarantee that the crew wouldn't use the Spring Festival time to catch up.

It was common for the crew to work overtime during the Spring Festival. There were still many crew members filming in the cinema city on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year. In the past, when Qiao Lin was working as a minor character in various production teams, he loved to work in a few more production teams during the Spring Festival. Although he was a little tired, due to the good benefits of the New Year crew, he ate better than usual. Even as extras, they could get dozens of extra red packets. Moreover, the red packets were sent to them by the director himself, so they would not go through the hands of the group leaders.

As such, the things that he was already used to were nothing to Qiao Lin. After all, Qin Lang was going to take Yu to America to spend the New Year with his sister, so he would not be as bored as he was during the New Year.

After lunch, Yu seemed to be in a much better mood. Along the way, he chatted and laughed with Qiao Lin - he was full of curiosity about all kinds of things on the streets of the cinema city. Although it was not the first time that he had lived with his father in the film crew, he could only run back and forth between the film set and the hotel.

The last time he had walked the streets of the cinema city was during the summer vacation when he had secretly left the set with Qiao Lin.

As it was the Spring Festival, there were rows of red lanterns hanging on the streets, looking extremely festive.

It was already noon when the two of them arrived at the set. The cast and crew were having lunch.

When Qiao Lin went to the lounge to find Qin Lang, he was eating while flipping through the script.

"Dad," Yu called out sweetly as soon as he entered the room.

Qin Lang immediately put down his chopsticks and walked over and hugged Yu.

"Dad, didn't you say that you would take me to see Mom and spend the New Year with her? There are already lanterns hanging outside, so why aren't we leaving yet?" As soon as he saw Qin Lang, Yu thought of his mother. When he mentioned his mother, Yu's voice carried a trace of grievance.

"I'm sorry, Yu. Dad is too busy with work. The matter of meeting Mom might have to be delayed for a few days." Qin Lang seemed to be in a difficult position.

Qin Lang's words also made Qiao Lin confused. Previously, when Qin Lang sent him a text message, he said that he would bring Yu to see his mother before the Spring Festival. He even asked him if he wanted to go with him. However, his reply now was that he would postpone the meeting and did not give Yu an accurate answer.

However, children and adults understood each other differently. Hearing Qin Lang's words, Yu was overjoyed. His father only said that he would postpone it for a few days, but he would definitely go back.

Qiao Lin was a little worried, "What happened?"

Qin Lang shook his head and pointed at Yu without saying a word. Then, he let go of the child, got up and returned to the table. He took out an opened envelope from the script and handed it to Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin took the envelope and sat down on the sofa at the side. Then he took out the contents of the envelope.

When he found out that it was a letter to Qin Lang's lawyer, he immediately understood why Qin Lang was suddenly unsure if he could go to America.

"This was personally delivered by Xu Zhou half an hour ago. The letter was sent to the company," Qin Lang added.

This lawyer's letter was clearly sent to Qin Lang through the lawyer. The letter stated that Qin Lang was not Yu's biological father and did not protect Yu well. He allowed Yu to be exposed to the media, which affected his life and studies. It also said that Qin Lang had given Yu a leave of absence in advance and brought him to the production. If the child lived in the production often, the environment of the production would not be conducive to Yu's growth.

The purpose of this lawyer's letter was to give Qin Lang a notice before he was brought to court.

In fact, Qiao Lin knew that Qin Lang had already made preparations for this. The reason why he took a few days of leave from work was to lure Yu into taking the initiative to attack him.

Qin Lang, on the other hand, had already prepared himself for the worst. Back then, when he broke off the engagement, he chose to marry another woman even though he knew that Qin Shi was pregnant. In the years after the child was born, not only did he not give the child any support, but he also repeatedly threatened Qin Shi not to use the child to threaten him to destroy his family. Because of this, Qin Shi, who could not bear the blow, became depressed.

It was not that the Qin family had no evidence. They just didn't want to have anything to do with Yan Ming and let him harass Yu.

At that time, who would have thought that Yan Ming's wife would not be able to give birth to a son, and that she would want to acknowledge Yu as her son for the sake of her property?

With this evidence, the Qin family was not afraid of going to court.

Qiao Lin was confused, "Aren't you prepared? What are you worried about?"

Qin Lang sighed, "If he wants to sue me soon, perhaps..."

Looking at Yu who was playing by himself, Qin Lang did not continue.

However, Qiao Lin also understood that if they were already prepared to go through the legal procedures to take back Yu's custody rights from Qin Lang, no matter who won or lost, if they were to meet Qin Lang in court, Qin Lang and Yu might be restricted from leaving the country, and the matter of going to America to see Qin Shi might be ruined.

So now he couldn't be sure of the decision he had made. He couldn't give Yu a clear answer, and Yu was looking forward to it. If he told him that he couldn't see his mother anymore, he would definitely be very sad.

"One more thing." Qin Lang suddenly said. In fact, he did not intend to tell Qiao Lin about this at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to tell him because it might affect the two of them, "Peiru had decided to help me and my sister after she found out about Yan Ming and the child, so she contacted Yan Ming's strict elder brother through her work. She found out that the elder of the Yan family had his eyes on a piece of land in the north side of the city. Apart from the child, he also used the matter of the land to test his two sons. Whoever had the ability to help him buy the land would win half of the property. If the matter was settled, Yan Ming might give up on the child. Therefore, Peiru decided to be the middleman to help him. However, the matter had been almost settled, yet the other party suddenly sold the land to someone else at a much lower price than Yan Ming. Yan Ming might have failed just like his elder brother in this matter, and he still had a chance of winning with the child. That was why he took this step at this time."

"That piece of land is..." Qiao Lin could tell the problem.

"It belongs to the Qiao family. Initially, the person in charge of the project was the one who talked about selling the land strictly, but in the end..." Qin Lang wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Did my father, Qiao Zhicheng, personally sell it?" Qiao Lin had already guessed it.

Qin Lang nodded.

"The one who bought the land must be from G and N Company." Qiao Lin finally understood why his mother would meet his father on the grounds of discussing the company when she had just returned to the country not long ago.

It turned out that they were really talking about business when they met. His father was willing to sell the land to his mother at a low price, but he refused to sell it to rigor. Whether it was because of a favor or because the two of them already knew about the relationship between the Qin Family and the Yan Family and wanted to use it to make things difficult for him and Qin Lang, no one could say for sure now.
