Chapter 29: Are you worthy?

Early the next morning, Lin Yang took a taxi to the Lin Family villa.

When he stood before the villa, his gaze was deep.

Six years ago, a fire reduced everything from the first half of his life to ashes.

And all of this, there was no shortage of help from the family traitor.

He looked at the newly rebuilt villa before him and furrowed his brows.

"It's really unpleasant."

As he muttered, a doubtful voice sounded.

"Lin Yang?"

Lin Yang turned around at the words.

Seeing Yuan Shu in a floral dress, light makeup, like a girl next door, he couldn't help but frown.

"Yuan Shu? How are you here?"

Yuan Shu frowned slightly, seeing that Lin Yang's complexion looked somewhat bad.

"Stop pretending, don't think I don't know you came here on purpose to find me!"

Seeing Lin Yang open his mouth to explain, Yuan Shu frowned and said.

"There's no possibility between us; who I'm dating now has nothing to do with you!"

Before Lin Yang could explain, a fiery red Ferrari roared from afar and stopped before the two.

At the driver's seat, a man with messy hair wearing a white short-sleeve stepped out of the car.

The man had a sunny face, his eyes showing undisguised arrogance.

He walked up to Yuan Shu, glanced her over, and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Ms. Yuan, sorry for keeping you waiting."

"This timing is just right; let's go inside for morning tea—I've already had the servants prepare it."

Upon hearing that, Yuan Shu's face lit up with joy.

"Sure."

As the man was about to leave, he glanced at Lin Yang and asked.

"Who is this?"

"Lin Hao, you don't even recognize me now?"

Lin Hao, upon hearing that, gave Lin Yang a proper look.

When he looked at Lin Yang, his pupils contracted.

"Lin Yang, is that you?!"

He had also heard about Lin Yang crippling Lin Fei.

He never expected Lin Yang would dare to appear before him like this!

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he glanced at Yuan Shu beside him and gave a teasing smile.

"Lin Yang, since you're here, come inside and have a seat."

"After the villa was renovated, you haven't gone inside to sit, have you?"

Saying that, he looked at Lin Yang provocatively.

Yuan Shu's heart tightened, fearing Lin Yang might suddenly lash out in impulse.

"Sure."

Seeing Lin Yang agree, Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them thus entered the villa.

Inside the villa, everything was high-end imported furniture, and all the items were smart products.

On the huge dining table, everything was already laid out.

"Lin Yang, isn't there a big difference between here and six years ago?"

"No, six years ago this place was nothing but ruins."

Saying that, he broke into a proud laugh.

After laughing, he still looked at Lin Yang, making a gesture of apology.

"Sorry, I brought up your painful matters."

"I'll go use the restroom first; you guys eat as you like."

After Lin Fei left, Yuan Shu gritted her teeth and stared at Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, you must never act impulsively; Lin Hao is not Lin Fei!"

"Besides, I'm here to discuss business with Lin Hao, not what you imagine."

Lin Yang looked at Yuan Shu and said calmly.

"I won't stop you from discussing business; if you want to marry him, that's fine, as long as you get your grandfather to announce the annulment of the engagement."

"You!"

Yuan Shu was so angry she gritted her teeth.

She mistakenly thought Lin Yang was angry, which is why she said that.

"Lin Yang, can't you be more mature? There's no possibility between us."

Lin Yang nodded, saying nothing more.

Just then, Lin Hao walked over, smiling, and sat down beside Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was taken aback, and also didn't say much.

Lin Hao looked at Lin Yang provocatively and said: "Lin Yang, just find a place to sit."

He clearly knows Yuan Shu and Lin Yang are engaged, yet he deliberately does this just to see Lin Yang embarrassed.

Seeing Lin Yang casually find a seat and sit down, Lin Hao's face showed a mocking expression.

He felt great satisfaction; from childhood on, Lin Yang has always been suppressing him.

Now, he can finally turn the tables and have him under his foot.

"Yuan Shu, my father and I have already talked about our cooperation; he said I can have full authority."

Upon hearing that, Yuan Shu's face instantly lit up with joy.

She has always wanted to hitch herself to the Lin Family's big ship, but her grandfather always stopped her.

This time, her cooperation with the Lin Family is behind her grandfather's back.

"Young Master Lin, then I'll thank you in advance."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Don't just talk about thanks; I have opened red wine on the table—let's clink glasses to celebrate."

Saying that, he gave Lin Yang a provocative look.

Yuan Shu gave an embarrassed smile, but thinking that the cooperation between the two families would elevate her company, she gritted her teeth and walked over.

He poured two cups of wine and handed them to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao laughed heartily, took the cup, and drained it in one gulp.

"Have you finished drinking? Now that you're done, let's get down to business."

Lin Yang suddenly spoke, causing Lin Hao to smile meaningfully.

"You still have business to discuss with me? I heard you went to be a pretty boy; what business could you have?"

Lin Yang stood up and looked at Lin Hao.

"Your family, move out of here immediately; you don't deserve to live here."

Upon hearing that, Lin Hao narrowed his eyes and said.

"My family doesn't deserve? Then are you, a stray dog, worthy?"

"In terms of money, my Lin Family is now worth a hundred billion; does my family not deserve?"

"I now have over ten companies under me, worth several billion; you say I don't deserve?"

"In terms of martial prowess, I personally hold a taekwondo black belt; I can defeat you in three moves!"

"And you are nothing but a stray dog that disappeared six years ago."

"As soon as you came back, you're living off soft food; if your father knew, he'd probably crawl out of his grave."

"Just you, still want to live here—do you deserve?"

No sooner had the words fallen than Lin Hao felt a pain in his neck; before he could react, Lin Yang had already lifted him up.

"Exactly what happened six years ago, you family know."

"So-called hundred-billion valuation is merely taking over my father's company wholesale; otherwise, could Lin Tianzheng have that ability?"

"As family thieves, you don't deserve to live in the villa my father bought."

Seeing Lin Hao choking Lin Yang's neck, Yuan Shu shouted excitedly.

"Lin Yang, what are you doing? Quickly put down Young Master Lin!"

"If you hurt Young Master Lin, the Lu and Wei families will not go to war with the current Lin Family over you!"

Seeing Lin Yang still unmoved, Yuan Shu gritted her teeth and said.

"Even without Young Master Lin, there's no possibility between me and you; don't take out your anger on Young Master Lin!"

Hearing that, Lin Yang threw Lin Hao out like trash.

The thrown-out Lin Hao let out a violent cough.

He looked at Lin Yang with a face full of terror, having only heard before that Lin Fei said Lin Yang was strong.

He still thought it was just that Lin Fei had been scared by a beating.

He took out his phone and made a call.

"Come over quickly!"

Lin Yang ignored him and instead looked toward Yuan Shu.

"You overestimate yourself; you're not enough to affect my mood."

"I released Lin Hao solely because I owed you a favor yesterday."

Upon hearing that, Yuan Shu was so angry she kept gritting her teeth.

Before she could speak, she heard Lin Yang say.

"In my heart, you're nothing more than a passerby; don't take yourself too seriously."

These words made Yuan Shu's chest rise and fall with anger; she turned and left.
