Chapter 435

Lin Yu looked at Lin Zhao in surprise, looked at her several times, and then began to laugh, "I can tell."

These words were in response to her Little Nine.

She then said to Lin Zhao, "We can talk about outfits when we have time. I can also design a few sets of clothes for you. I forgot to say, I'm a fashion designer, the kind with a bit of fame. The clothes I design are quite popular, you should like them."

Lin Zhao curved her eyes and said generously, "Alright."

To be fair, Aunt Grandma is worthy of being Aunt Grandma; she is covered in jewels, the whole person is radiant, and she even smells good just looking at her.

The beautiful girl with a good personality that her dad spoke of had become concrete.

She was very tall, probably over 1.7 meters, and walked very... Lin Zhao couldn't find a suitable adjective, but she was very cool and beautiful, with a perfect body proportion: short upper body, long lower body, making her legs look especially long, beautiful enough to grab anyone's attention.

It was hard to imagine this was an elder who was several years older than her father.

Could it be that all Lin family members are so good at maintaining themselves?

Lin Zhao was shocked in her heart, looking at Lin Yu with bright eyes.

Lin Yu noticed her gaze, her lips curled slightly, and she introduced her fiancé to her nephew's family, "This is my fiancé, Cen Yan, he is a businessman."

Cen Yan nodded to Lin Heling's family and gave Lin Zhao a meeting gift, "I came suddenly and didn't know what you liked, so I didn't prepare a gift. Take this money and buy something you need, I'll make up for the gift another day."

Lin Zhao took it generously and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle-in-law."

They were already engaged, so changing the address directly shouldn't be a problem.

Cen Yan's expression paused when he heard this address.

Finding a partner with a high seniority meant being super-promoted in seniority directly.

Fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he nodded calmly, "Mm."

Lin Yu smiled and asked her fiancé to book a restaurant; she had some things she needed to ask Lin Heling alone.

Cen Yan looked at Lin Yu, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Once he was gone, Lin Zhao said tactfully, "I'm going to the courtyard to play with the dog."

Only Lin Heling, his wife, Lin Yu, and Lin De remained in the living room.

Lin Zhao didn't know what the four of them said, and she didn't ask.

People with big hearts are like this.

She was very open-minded now; children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the elders in the family are even more so. They were so much older than her, so they knew what they were doing, and she didn't need to worry about them.

Lin Zhao applied sunscreen again and lay on the chair sunbathing, with the beautiful dog lying beside her.

The nanny at home added tea for her from time to time.

A breeze blew by, and bursts of floral fragrance drifted over; Lin Zhao was so comfortable she was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, the big dog at her feet opened its eyes and ran toward the entrance.

It barked happily.

Lin Zhao opened her eyes.

Lin Shisheng had arrived with his wife.

"How does a busy person have time to come over?" Lin Zhao sat up slightly.

Lin Shisheng heard his sister's sarcasm, bent over slightly, stretched out his arm, and rubbed Lin Zhao's head a few times.

"Who did you learn that from, why is your speech so prickly? Even the busiest person has time to come home, don't they?"

Lin Zhao swatted at her second brother's cheeky hand. Lin Shisheng reacted quickly, pulled it back, and laughed loudly, "Didn't hit me."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but glare at him, "So childish."

"If your subordinates knew you were like this, let's see if they would still obey you."

Lin Shisheng sat to the side and poured himself a cup of tea, "Why wouldn't they obey? I'm their bread and butter, how could they not obey? Rest assured, your brother's position as boss is very secure."

Taotao hadn't seen her precious dog all day, missed it terribly, and was currently playing with her dog son.

She didn't have children, only two daughters, Lin Xuan and Lin Zheng. The two girls went to college, and fearing his wife would be bored, Lin Shisheng bought a small Samoyed. This dog was raised by Taotao with her own hands, and she treated it like her own child, treasuring it very much.

Because of this dog, she had sought advice from Lin Zhao in the beginning, asking her how she raised Da Huang and Hu Po, and asking if the puppy could drink milk powder...

Lin Zhao ignored her second brother's words and just asked, "Second Brother, when will you be able to afford a car? I want one."

Her tone was tinged with a bit of envy, "Aunt Grandma has one, I think I need one too, it's really convenient to go out and do things."

This is hedonism.

Lin Shisheng answered in his heart.

"Aunt Grandma?" he asked, full of confusion.

Who is this?

Only then did Lin Zhao remember that her second brother and the others didn't know about the return of the Lin family members from Hong Kong. A flash of guilt crossed her eyes, she cleared her throat, and said, "Our dad's dad and little aunt, our grandfather and Aunt Grandma, in Hong Kong, you know about them, right?"

Lin Shisheng looked at her quietly, and after a while, he spoke, "When did you know?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhao knew that her second brother probably didn't know...

She cleared her throat again, peeked cautiously at Lin Shisheng's expression, touched the tip of her nose, and said, "Not long ago, that's not important."

"What's important is that Aunt Grandma is back and is inside talking to Mom and Dad."

"Surprises" came one after another, and the information received was a bit much; for the first time, Lin Shisheng felt chaotic.

"... They're already here?" He pointed toward the living room.

Lin Zhao nodded, "Mm, they haven't been here long."

Lin Shisheng looked at his sister and said with a fake smile, "Were Eldest Brother and I removed from the household register? How come you know everything?"

"You still say that!" Lin Zhao directly counter-attacked, leaving her second brother with nowhere to go, "I have nothing serious to do, and I always like to hang around Mom and Dad. Of course, they tell me if they have anything. As for you guys, you're all busier than the next, what do you expect Mom and Dad to do, call you specifically to tell you? Do you think Mom and Dad have the heart for that? Can Dad remember you guys? Does Mom have that heart?"

"..."

Neither of them did.

Were they picked up?

Lin Shisheng's answer was silence.

His eyes were also blank.

So it turned out to be his fault?!

Watching this scene, Taotao suppressed a laugh.

She touched the big dog's head, a smile on her lips, "Your dad is confused again, isn't he cute?"

The beautiful Samoyed seemed to understand and barked.

Lin Heling and the others finished talking and came out to the courtyard.

Lin Yu saw Lin Shisheng, was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Little Nine, waiting for him to introduce him to her.

"Which one is this in your family?"

Lin Heling answered, "The second one, Lin Shisheng."

He then said to his son, "This is your Aunt Grandma, greet her. If you want to expand your business and have problems, find your Aunt Grandma; she can solve everything for you, and your path will be very smooth."

Lin Heling's concepts taught by his father were deeply rooted. In his heart, it was only right for a father to pave the way for his son.

Lin Shisheng looked at the young Aunt Grandma, his mouth twitching slightly twice, and greeted her, "Aunt Grandma."

"Hey!" Lin Yu responded with a smile.

"I came suddenly and didn't prepare a gift for you, I'll make up for it another day."

Without waiting for Lin Shisheng to speak, she continued, "I heard you opened a factory, when will you take me to see it?"

Lin Shisheng didn't know that a great blessing had arrived, so he responded politely, "Alright, whenever you have time."

He stated the location of the factory and waited quietly for the Aunt Grandma, whose seniority was ridiculously high, to come for an inspection.

Lin Shisheng then introduced his beloved wife to Lin Yu.

"Aunt Grandma, this is my wife, Taotao."

Taotao was good-looking, with a freshness that made people's eyes light up, and her beautiful peach-blossom eyes looked moist and clean.

Lin Yu had a good impression of her and nodded with a smile, "Shisheng has a good eye."

Lin Zhao and the others, who knew the truth about how the two got together.

No, it was Taotao who had a good eye; Shisheng (Second Brother) was blind. If it hadn't been for the little girl chasing him hard, the two might not have made it.

"That's right." Lin Shisheng hugged his wife's shoulder, smiling smugly.

Lin Yu quite liked his personality and was just about to say something when a car horn sounded at the entrance.

"Cen Yan is here, let's go."

At this moment, Cen Yan entered the door, saw that everyone was there, and said loudly, "Everyone's here, the car is here, shall we leave now?"

Lin Yu gave the order, "Let's go."

The group set off and had a reunion dinner that wasn't quite a reunion at the most luxurious hotel in Haicheng.

That night, back at the hotel, Lin Yu found Yun Jia and found a way to make a phone call to Hong Kong.

She got in touch with Lin Fu.

"Did you see Dad and Little Nine?" Lin Fu asked the first sentence after receiving the call from the mainland.

Lin Yu told the truth, and the corners of Lin Fu's eyes turned red instantly. He hadn't expected his father to pass away.

His father was in good health, didn't even have any minor ailments, and had the Lin family's ancestral health-preserving methods; he could have lived past one hundred years old, how could he have passed away?!

He pursued the questioning and learned the reason.

At that moment, the veins on the forehead of the Lin family head bulged.

Lin Fu, who was very good at cultivating his energy, nearly exploded on the spot.

Upon learning that the enemy was still alive, even holding a high position and occupying their ancestral home without returning it, he crushed the vase on the side with one hand, cutting several gashes on his fingers. Fresh red blood dripped to the ground, but he couldn't feel the pain, only feeling the anger roaring, wishing he could fly over immediately and twist the enemy's neck.

"I'm coming back today." Lin Fu took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress his anger; only those familiar with him could hear the gritted-teeth tone in his words.

"What about Little Nine? Is he alright?" he continued to ask, a trace of imperceptible worry in his eyes; he was afraid of hearing bad news again.

Lin Yu hurriedly said, "Little Nine is doing just fine."

This was the only thing that could comfort the Lin family.

Lin Fu's brows relaxed, and his hanging heart was put down, "That's good."

"Little Nine got married early and has four sons. He even gave Eldest Brother a soft granddaughter; her name is Lin Zhao. She's a particularly beautiful girl, looks like Eldest Sister-in-law, has a good personality, is generous, and is even a university student at Capital University. You and Eldest Sister-in-law will definitely like her when you see her."

"Eldest Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, prepare gifts when you come."

"By the way, Zhao Zhao likes beautiful clothes and jewelry."

Lin Yu poured out everything that needed to be said.

Hearing that he had a granddaughter, Lin Fu's deep eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help himself anymore, just wanting to return at the fastest speed.

Just after hanging up the phone, an elegant and graceful lady approached.

She looked at her dazed husband, her eyes curious, "Why are you standing here? Did something happen?"

Lin Fu recovered and said to his wife, "One piece of good news, one piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Zhang Yun frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "... The bad one."

"Father passed away many years ago, we will never see him again." Lin Fu said.

Zhang Yun was full of surprise, and then pain appeared on her face, "How could that be?! A-De was by Father's side, and there were so many people, how could Father..."

As she spoke, tears flowed out.

She was an orphan adopted by Old Master Lin, supported by the Lin family, educated, and grew up with Lin Fu, naturally becoming husband and wife.

To Zhang Yun, Old Master Lin was a father and even more of a benefactor. She had always been respectful to Old Master Lin and listened most to this kind old man; she never thought that that parting would mean there wouldn't even be a chance to meet again.

Zhang Yun sobbed uncontrollably, filled with great sorrow.

Lin Fu patted his old wife's shoulder and changed the subject, "It's come to this, sadness is useless. The urgent matter is to avenge Dad. The enemy is still alive, there's no time for sadness, I plan to go back today."

He knew his little sister's temper; she couldn't hold back. Once she knew the truth, she would inevitably launch a retaliation immediately. He was afraid that if he arrived late, he wouldn't be able to watch the enemy pay the price in blood with his own eyes.

Zhang Yun was the mistress of the Lin family, with a strong enough character. Hearing her husband's meaning, the father-in-law had been harmed by someone.

She immediately suppressed the pain in her heart, didn't even ask, and said, "Alright, I'll go arrange it right away."

Lin Fu was worried about his old wife's health, fearing she would be overly sad, and couldn't wait to tell her the good news that their little son was still alive.

"A-Yun, Yu-Yu saw Little Nine."

Zhang Yun turned around abruptly, looking back at her husband in a daze, her well-maintained face mixed with surprise, shock, and unexpectedness...

"Little Nine...?"

"Little Nine is still alive?!! Is he alright?" She walked quickly toward her husband and grabbed Lin Fu's sleeve.

"Alive. Little Nine is living well, he's very good. If you're worried, take him for a check-up when the time comes." Lin Fu said hurriedly.

Zhang Yun cried and laughed.

"The happiest thing in the world is finding something lost! My Little Nine, God has not treated me poorly!"

But why couldn't He be a little more generous and give her a few years to show filial piety to Dad.

Zhang Yun was both surprised and pained, made several phone calls, called home for her children and grandchildren, and quickly arranged things.

That day, together with Lin Fu, she took people and boarded the cruise ship back to the mainland.

People far away in Haicheng didn't know about these things.

Lin Yu's attitude was very clear: if the Lin family ancestral home couldn't be restored, there would be no talk of investment.

The investment promotion department reported it layer by layer, recovering a large amount of the Lin family's confiscated property...

The Lin family ancestral home was the first priority.

After it was recovered, what should be demolished would be demolished, and what should be repaired would be repaired, ensuring the Lin family was satisfied.

This matter was originally the evil done by a mole in the organization, and they were just setting things right now, which was as it should be.

Many of the Lin family's houses were returned, and those that couldn't be returned were replaced with others of equal value.

Lin Yu handed this part of the assets to Lin Heling.

"These are all yours, this is... Father's wish, he was most worried about this, you arrange it."

As for them, they had brought eighty percent of their visible wealth when they went to Hong Kong, and over the years, money had rolled into money, so now no one lacked money.

Lin Heling knew the situation of his family and didn't refuse, distributing the real estate on the spot.

He gave Lin Zhao the five best ones and distributed the others to his sons.

Lin Zhao was dizzy from being hit by this wealth, "Dad!!"

Only a biological father would be this good to her, wuwu.

Lin Heling patted his daughter's head, "With these few houses, you shouldn't have to worry for the rest of your life."

"Mm mm, no worries, Dad gave too much!" Lin Zhao's eyes were bright; houses in Haicheng were at sky-high prices, and the ones her dad gave her were all super-large Western-style buildings in great locations, which couldn't be bought with money later.

Being hit hard by houses, she must be the happiest little girl in the world.

Lin Yu looked at Zhao Zhao's starry eyes and was amused by her appearance, "Like hoarding houses?"

"Yeah." Lin Zhao looked at the property deeds without raising her head.

Lin Yu laughed out loud, "Satisfied with this? When your grandfather comes back, he can give you more. Ask him for whatever you want, he can even buy you a plane!"

She knew too well that her eldest brother liked daughters just like her father; in Hong Kong, he hadn't muttered less about Lin Duan and the others being incompetent and unable to give him a granddaughter!
