Chapter 126 Does it feel good to be inferior to others?
Chapter 126 Does it feel good to be inferior to others?
Chen Xiaonian put all her energy into her children and being filial to her parents-in-law. From top to bottom, the whole family made a tacit agreement not to mention Lin Qi, as if this person had never been in the family.
Lin Pengyuan looked at the word "Waiting to be connected" on the big screen in front of him and slowly turned the jade finger on his right thumb. As the two video calls were connected, a man and a woman appeared on the screen.
"Cousins, long time no see!"
The chubby woman glanced at Lin Pengyuan with disdain and said arrogantly: "What kind of evil wind has dried up the water in my cousin's brain."
Another man covered his mouth with his orchid fingers and sneered: "Sister, what you said is wrong. Cousin Pengyuan just misses his relatives."
In fact, these two people have always looked down upon Lin Pengyuan. Although he was smart, he could never use it in the right place. So when he was twenty years old, the Lin family gave him a small and inconspicuous company and asked him to leave.
go out.
Lin Pengyuan didn't change his expression when he heard the two people's sarcasm. He waited until the two of them finished talking before going straight to the topic: "You two must be aware of what happened to the Lin family recently. Do you have any ideas?"
The fat woman stroked her newly permed hair and said nothing with a disdainful expression on her face. However, the man with a shiny face smiled sweetly and said, "What do you think? I'm just going to live under others and make a living."
Lin Pengyuan said with a sad face: "The Lin family's foundation has taken two to three hundred years and more than ten generations of hard work to achieve such achievements. If it is destroyed in one day, it will be unfilial to our children and grandchildren."
The fat woman finally looked over and said after a moment: "What do you mean?"
Lin Pengyuan smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't mean that I am a useless person. I am just worried that I will not be able to face my ancestors after I die."
After saying that, he coughed twice, and with his thin and embarrassed face, he looked like his days were numbered.
"Although we don't have many contacts, I personally think that the two of them are the most reliable ones in the Lin family at present. If the Lin family can have two directors, it will definitely reach a higher level, instead of declining day by day."
The fat woman sneered: "Do you have such a kind heart?"
Lin Pengyuan looked directly at the other party with a sincere attitude: "To be honest, if I were in good health, I would not entrust you with it. After all, who doesn't want that position? But things are unpredictable. As a descendant of the Lin family, although I cannot personally devote myself to them,
We also need to work hard to consider how to give Lin a better future."
"You are quite open-minded."
The three people talked on the phone for a long time, and Lin Pengyuan had already reached the goal of asking the two people to lobby the other Lin family members. He lifted up the blanket on his legs and stood up to leave the study. Little did he know that everything he did was watched by one person.
"This trick doesn't seem to work on her."
Pan Yue sent messages to Chen Xiaonian for several days without receiving a reply. She couldn't help but get worried. After attending the funeral of her aunt's family, she hid in a corner and called Lin Pengyuan. Lin Pengyuan reassured her not to be impatient, as this road was blocked.
Just find another way.
On this day, Chen Xiaonian took her children and her mother-in-law to go shopping together. In addition to passing the time, Lin's mother was worried that she would become depressed. During this period, except for postpartum recovery, she almost stayed at home, and even sometimes went to the hospital by herself.
Stay in your room alone and don't come out for a whole day.
While Mother Lin was going to the bathroom, a man walked up to Chen Xiaonian, sat down and put a dagger on her waist. Because it was covered by clothes, others couldn't see it. The slightly intimate movements made the two of them feel more intimate.
Like a couple.
"Come with me, otherwise you and your children will never survive."
Chen Xiaonian was a little panicked at first, but she quickly calmed down. She followed what the man said and walked to a crowded place intentionally or unintentionally.
"Don't go that way!"
The man seemed to have noticed Chen Xiaonian's intention, and whispered a warning into her ear. He also made slight movements on his hand. Chen Xiaonian could almost feel the cold feeling of the tip of the knife touching her skin.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
The man whispered: "You will know when you get there."
Suddenly, the man felt itchy on his body and neck, and subconsciously twisted around. Chen Xiaonian seized this opportunity, took two steps forward, raised his leg and kicked the man out. After noticing something was wrong, the bodyguards who had been following him quickly surrounded him and kicked him out.
He grabbed it and left quickly. Mother Lin caught up and checked Chen Xiaonian left and right. After confirming that it was intact, she patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. There was a person in a corner who saw everything and left quickly.
"Really? It seems like we have to start somewhere else."
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Lin Pengyuan thought for a moment and opened the drawer next to him. There was a well-made time bomb inside.
"It's better to just order it."
However, it is almost impossible to put a bomb on the Lin family or the car that Chen Xiaonian takes when going out. Not only is there high-definition surveillance around the Lin family's old house, but there are also 24-hour bodyguard patrols, especially after Chen Xiaonian gave birth to a child.
Seriously. As for the cars that go out, apart from the fact that there are so many that it is impossible to determine which one you will take, they will be carefully checked every time they go out. Lin Pengyuan pressed his temple with a headache.
"Nian Nian, I have thought of a few names, you can see which one is better."
That day, as soon as Chen Xiaonian finished feeding the child and put him to sleep, Mother Lin walked in with a piece of paper. After handing it over, she looked lovingly at her grandson who looked more and more like a meat dumpling. Mother Lin couldn't help but stretch out her fingers.
I poked my chubby cheeks, saw his pink mouth pouting slightly and blew out a series of bubbles, and quickly covered my mouth with my hands before I couldn't help laughing. This little ancestor was so angry when he got up.
Very big.
Chen Xiaonian looked at the names on the paper carefully. There were more than ten names in total including Lin Nian, Lin Jilin, Lin Qingxuan, Lin Qingyuan, and Lin Chen.
"Mom, I think he should be called Lin Nian."
Mother Lin turned her head and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Pan Yue, wearing a black gauze on her arm, felt relaxed after watching her dead sister-in-law's body laid to rest at home. I don't know why, but two or three months after this incident, the police suddenly said that it was due to oil leakage in the car and wiring.
The explosion caused by the short circuit was purely accidental. But as long as it doesn't involve myself, that's all I can do now to comfort myself.
"Wife."
In the dead of night, Lin Qi quietly called Chen Xiaonian. It was too difficult to live alone these days. He wanted to hug his sweet wife and feel her softness gradually becoming hot in his palms.
Chen Xiaonian joked: "Isn't a person very chic?"
Lin Qi rolled around on the bed and acted coquettishly, saying love words one after another, which made Chen Xiaonian blush.
"Don't you even miss me?"
Suddenly feeling aggrieved, Lin Qi hung up the phone and got up. It was a dark and windy night, and he was climbing over the wall. After he was satisfied, he pestered his wife and quarreled for a while before leaving. He looked back at the old house behind him and felt inexplicably excited.
.
Half a month after Lin Qi's "cheating", Lin Jinnan received calls from dozens of people in the Lin family. Without exception, they said that Lin Qi had done something that was disgraceful to the family tradition.
He was no longer suitable to continue to serve as president and asked him to write a letter of apology and resign from all positions. As for who will take over, the board of directors and each member of the Lin family will discuss it together.
Because the Lin family has no precedent for a retired predecessor to take over the Lin family again, they kept silent about letting Lin Jinnan return to the Lin family. Mother Lin felt helpless looking at her husband, who was two years old. If her grandson could survive overnight,
It would be nice to be an adult. In fact, this is what Lin Qi hoped for. He originally planned to follow his father's example and abdicate early to go home to be with his wife after his son was able to control the Lin family.
Lin Qi's pressure in the company is also increasing. The 'cheating' incident has become a foregone conclusion, and it is meaningless to pursue who leaked the information. This morning, everyone on the board of directors also expressed doubts about himself.
He turned a blind eye to all the painstaking care he had put in for Mr. Lin in the past.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin has suffered huge losses due to your actions. I hope you can take responsibility for this."
"Mr. Lin, we also want to have a better future for the Lin family. I hope you can understand."
The board of directors was held again the next day, and it didn't sound like they were asking Lin Qi to take the blame and resign, but it wasn't much different.
"Nephew, are you okay?"
After Lin Qi, who was drinking, saw clearly who was coming, he suddenly put the wine glass on the table, stood up, grabbed Lin Pengyuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, by the collar and said angrily: "You did it, right?"
Lin Pengyuan stopped his subordinates who wanted to come forward to help, and opened Lin Qi's fingers one by one. There was a little out of place smile in his gloomy and cold eyes.
"What are you talking about, nephew? Your brother-in-law and I are already buried up to our necks in loess. How can we have the energy to do these things? Besides, we are a family with the same blood flowing through our bodies. We can't kill each other."
It will never exist."
Lin Qicai didn't believe his lies, so he thought carefully about his thoughts these days. The fake jewelry incident broke out after Lin Pengyuan came back. The cooperation between Lin and Koenig was snatched away by another company, and the person behind it was still Lin Pengyuan.
Also, those who later terminated their cooperation with the Lin family and switched to others, that 'other' also had the shadow of Lin Pengyuan. As for what happened to Pan Yue's family, haha, she couldn't do it with her ability.
The more Lin Qi thought about it, the more he felt that the man in front of him was terribly scheming. Although he knew that these things were closely related to this uncle, he had never found any evidence.
"You encouraged Lin family relatives and Lin's shareholders to force me to resign, didn't you just want to sit in this position? Do you think you can succeed?"
The more excited Lin Qi was, the happier Lin Pengyuan was. He calmly pushed the wheelchair into the box, ordered his subordinates to pour him a glass of wine, looked at the amber liquid inside and said slowly: "That's because you are unethical in doing things. After all, you are still too young.
Already."
After speaking, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Qi, slowly finishing the drink, and before leaving, he sent another message to his nephew.
"Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, but he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond what he can do."
Obviously, this 'Siren' refers to himself. After so many years of hardship, he has already tempered his body and mind, just to be able to succeed in one day.
