Shen Bingmei was truly a little vixen, joking and complaining about Qin Yexuan's favoritism towards the Su sisters.
Qin Yexuan smiled faintly and left the hotel, returning to the Su family's small villa.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of cosmetics are you using? Your skin has gotten so much better?" Su Xueqing, wearing shorts and holding a script, came up and immediately touched her brother-in-law's face.
Qin Yexuan gently pushed her hand away. "Regarding that movie of yours, we'll settle the score later."
Su Xueqing stuck out her tongue. "Brother-in-law, no, I'll tell you everything. I really didn't mean to hide it from you. Besides, I wasn't that high-profile. The competition in the entertainment industry is very fierce now."
She, relying on Qin Yexuan's doting, was still lying.
Qin Yexuan shook his head and went to the back to meet the guest named Lin.
Su Yuluo appeared beside them, looking unhappy. "Fourth Sister, you still don't know, right? That Long Tianwu is a big bad guy, and that Manager Chen isn't a good person either."
Su Xueqing was shocked. "What's going on? Little Yu, tell me quickly."
"Anyway, they're not good people, and they have a feud with Brother-in-law. Brother Ye told me all this."
It was Ye Fangjin who told Little Yu, so Su Yuluo had already taken this matter to heart.
Su Xueqing was stunned and became angry out of embarrassment. "No wonder these two kept asking me out to dinner. They wanted to use me against Brother-in-law!"
Her mind was still relatively clear, and she regretted it immensely now. "Little Yu, what should I do?"
The thought of actually working against her brother-in-law almost made her cry.
"I originally wanted to build my own career so that Brother-in-law would value me. What should I do now?"
Su Yuluo pulled her. "Let's go and talk to Brother-in-law."
The two came to the study at the back and saw an old man with white hair and beard walking in respectfully. Su Bingyan, who was accompanying him, politely called him Old Lin.
"I dare not, I truly dare not. Miss, are you Mr. Qin's friend?"
Su Bingyan smiled. "I call him Brother-in-law."
Old Master Lin's body trembled. He couldn't believe it, and then he bowed on the spot. "Then I must call you Senior."
What was this situation?
Su Bingyan was both embarrassed and confused. She quickly helped Old Master Lin up and led him into the study.
The door closed. Su Xueqing's eyes rolled, and she pulled Yuluo to the next room. Then, using a stethoscope from a drawer, she secretly listened to what was happening next door through the wall.
Inside the study, Old Master Lin waited with his hands on his knees, trembling.
Qin Yexuan put down the book in his hand and looked at him. "You said you're from the Lin family... is it the Lin family from Chu Province?"
Old Master Lin met his gaze, then his eyes widened.
He trembled, rubbing his eyes with his hands, desperately trying to confirm.
Finally, he still couldn't believe it. "You... are you really Uncle Qin?"
This sentence directly scared Su Xueqing and Su Yuluo outside.
"That old man, he's over seventy or eighty years old, and he still calls Brother-in-law uncle?"
"Shush, Little Yu, you don't understand. It's because of his high seniority, not his age."
Inside, Qin Yexuan waved his hand at Old Master Lin, then knocked on the wall. "Xueqing, Yuluo, go back to your rooms immediately. You're eavesdropping? You're both punished and not allowed to eat dinner!"
The two girls, scared, ran away.
Qin Yexuan then pulled over a chair and gestured for Old Master Lin to sit down.
Old Master Lin dared not sit. His eyes were a bit cloudy, but his expression was very excited.
Qin Yexuan smiled. "So you are Minsheng. I remember you were this big back then. Your father, Lin Dongfang, told me that you liked fishing and digging holes, but you just didn't like studying."
Old Master Lin's childhood name was Minsheng. That was many years ago.
The person who could call him by that name had long since passed away.
This time, the old man truly believed it.
Old Master Lin trembled, tears rolling down his face. "Really, it's really Uncle Qin. I, I didn't dare to recognize you. Although my father said you were an immortal, I didn't believe it back then."
Qin Yexuan rarely met old acquaintances. Some had already died, and some had gone into seclusion. At this moment, he also felt sentimental. "Your father, Lin Dongfang, was a tough man. That year when the enemy attacked, he would rather burn down the Lin family's textile factory than let it fall into enemy hands."
Old Master Lin was already in tears. "If it weren't for Uncle Qin's intervention to save our Lin family's industries and our seventeen family members, where would we be today?"
Qin Yexuan nodded. "Are you here to reclaim the Tianyi brand? Tianyi was founded by your grandfather and developed by your father. It's a time-honored brand from Chu Province. It should be returned to your Lin family."
Old Master Lin's head buzzed, and he knelt down with a thud. "My father passed down the Lin family's motto: no matter how his descendants are, they must treat Uncle Qin as they would their ancestors. No matter what Uncle Qin requires, Lin family disciples must go through fire and water for him... You, you can't abandon the Lin family!"
Qin Yexuan was a little surprised. "So, you don't know about everything that the Deputy Mayor Lin did?"
Old Master Lin was horrified. "That beast, what did he do? I, I really didn't know anything."
Qin Yexuan smiled faintly. "Then go back and check the news first. Clarify the situation before coming to see me. For the sake of my friendship with Lin Dongfang, I will give your Lin family one chance. Remember, only one chance."
Old Master Lin left the Su family's villa in terror, urging the driver to drive faster, and rushed back to Jiangcheng Bieyuan.
On the way, he put on his reading glasses and read all the recent news. Finally, he saw the secret report of Tianyi Consortium driving Qin Yexuan away. He was so angry that he spat blood on the spot.
As soon as he returned home, Old Master Lin roared, "Call that unfilial son over here, and make him crawl from the ancestral hall to here on his knees!"
Why could the Lin family have today?
It was the dividends from Tianyi Consortium each year that supported the entire family's operations.
Not only that, but counting back three generations, the Lin family was built by Qin Yexuan.
As for the time-honored brand, if Uncle Qin hadn't existed, it would have been burned down long ago.
Now, when he should have been enjoying his old age, he finally got news of Uncle Qin.
Old Master Lin was still hoping that Uncle Qin would look after his descendants.
Now, he got this result?
How could he not be anxious?
He was so anxious he felt like he was dying.
Outside, Deputy Mayor Lin didn't kneel. He strode in impatiently.
"Old man, why are you so angry? I know you never wanted me to get involved in business matters, but I have made a great contribution to the family now. I have brought back the Tianyi brand!"
*Slap!*
When Old Master Lin heard this, he became furious and slapped him.
This slap came too suddenly.
Deputy Mayor Lin, who was originally smug and planning great things, had never been hit so hard in his life.
Deputy Mayor Lin stumbled on the spot, almost falling.
He covered his red and swollen face, disbelieving. "Dad, you, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?"
"Hit you? I wish I could kill you right now!"
Old Master Lin roared in his ear, "Who told you to mess with Tianyi Consortium? Do you know who the people behind Tianyi are?"
