“This…this…” Gu Yan Yan looked at her son’s serious expression and couldn’t tell whether he was complaining or something else.

So she turned her gaze to Lin Batian.

Lin Xun was also looking at Lin Batian.

Lin Batian coughed twice and said, "Well, we've explained this before. We were forced into this situation. Our family business is so large, we're afraid of spoiling you into a spoiled brat. Although we're not afraid of wasting money, we mainly don't want our son to become that kind of person, so we resorted to this best option..."

"The best course of action?"

Lin Xun was astonished. This thing is called the best strategy?

Was it because he didn't read enough books or wasn't proficient enough in military strategy?

“That’s right! Son, this is actually the best strategy. Think about it, if we don’t do this, how can we train you?” Lin Batian said innocently.

Lin Xun mentally complained, but he was speechless.

Is this even possible?

At this moment, Gu Yanyan suddenly took out a key.

"Son, this is a graduation gift from your mother. Feel free to open it."

Lin Xun's eyes lit up when he saw the Mercedes logo on the key, but then he said helplessly, "Mom, I haven't taken my driving test yet."

Gu Yan Yan waved her hand dismissively: "You still need to take that exam? Mom will just help you!"

Lin Xun quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I'll take the exam myself."

Lin Batian then handed over a card, saying, "Dad doesn't know what to give you. You're still young. This is Dad's exclusive gold card with a billion in it. You can use it freely at any of my restaurant chain stores! When you take your friends out to eat, spend it as you please. Don't worry about saving money for Dad!"

Lin Xun took the card, feeling like he was dreaming, dreaming that he was surrounded by money.

"Thank you, Dad!"

"What are you thanking me for? You've worked hard all these years, it's time for you to enjoy yourself." Lin Batian waved his hand.

“That’s right, we can spend money however we want on our son in the future! If he wants to marry a beautiful wife, Mom can introduce him to someone!” Gu Yanyan said with a smile.

Lin Xun said helplessly, "I'm still young, it's too early to get married."

…

The next day, to Lin Xun's surprise, a group of people gathered outside the villa. Upon closer inspection, he recognized one of them – wasn't that Xu Fei?

Did they come to cause trouble?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Batian appeared, Xu Gang made Xu Fei kneel down, severely criticized Xu Fei in front of Lin Batian, and humbly called Lin Batian "Brother Lin".

Lin Xun wasn't too surprised; it seemed his father could handle it.

It is understood that Xu Gang had followed Lin Batian when he was young, and even fought alongside him against his opponents. They went through thick and thin together, and Lin Batian even saved Xu Gang's life. In Xu Gang's eyes, Lin Batian was like an older brother!

Son? He messed with Brother Lin, so he's back to square one!

The matter came to an end with Xu Fei's deep remorse.

A few days later, Lin Xun had gradually adapted to the life of a rich second generation. Every day, he would take Li Erpang and An Kexin to eat, drink, and have fun at the restaurants owned by his father, which helped him relax.

Soon, the Lin family became a sensation in Liangcheng. After digging deeper, many people discovered that Lin Batian was actually the richest man in the country. As a result, many people flocked to Lin Xun's villa and started live streaming, wanting to record the life of the richest man.

Many reporters wanted to conduct interviews, but were consistently turned away.

As the incident escalated, major short video platforms reported on it, and the incident quickly became the focus of online attention.

People also dug up photos of Lin Xun being interviewed after the college entrance examination.

In an instant, countless opinions arose.

However, these public opinions quickly subsided like a tide, and major platforms were warned that all information about the richest man had been withdrawn, and even the videos were restricted.

The situation is under control.

…

at the same time.

"Tsk tsk, I never expected that such a small place as Liangcheng would be full of hidden talents!"

Jiang Yunxiao held up her phone and leaned closer to Su Qingshi, saying, "Look, this young man is actually a rich second-generation."

The photo on his phone showed Lin Xun being shoved into the face by a bunch of microphones. Lin Xun looked quite handsome and refined in the photo, but he looked a little embarrassed. One of the microphones was even connected to his nose because of the camera angle, which looked rather comical.

Su Qingshi was typing on her computer when her view was blocked. She glanced at it subconsciously and was immediately drawn to the photos on her phone.

Was it him?

She still remembers the scene on the bridge that night.

The boy in the photo was standing by the bridge. She initially thought he was going to jump into the river, so she chatted with him for a bit.

I never expected that someone so famous would be interviewed.

"What's his name?"

For the first time ever, Su Qingshi spoke up.

This made Jiang Yunxiao's eyes widen in shock as she looked at Su Qingshi: "Wow! Shishi, you're actually interested in male creatures? What's wrong with you?"

Su Qingshi frowned slightly: "Is there a problem? I was just asking."

Jiang Yunxiao exaggeratedly said, "Of course! That's a big problem! Don't I know what kind of person you are? You're known as the Ice Queen of Nanjing University! You have a natural aversion to men. Remember when the student council president confessed to you on the playground? You ignored him and turned around and walked away in front of hundreds of people. You're such a true person!"

Su Qingshi pursed her lips; that incident had made her famous at Nanjing University.

The student council president was an outstanding young man, but Su Qingshi had no feelings for him. In addition, she was naturally aloof, so she didn't even bother to say no.

Because of that, she was criticized on the campus website for being pretentious and other unpleasant things, but she ignored them all.

Seeing that Su Qingshi's expression was somewhat cold, Jiang Yunxiao quickly changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let's talk about this boy. Take a look at this video."

Jiang Yunxiao clicked on a video, and Su Qingshi watched it quietly. Soon, the video was finished.

"Hey, this guy is not only handsome, but also academically excellent. The key is that he's the son of the richest man in China. I wonder which university he'll apply to?"

"It should be Peking University or Tsinghua University, right?"

"That's such a pity."

Jiang Yunxiao muttered under her breath as she read the comments.

A strange light flashed in Su Qingshi's eyes. She remembered that the boy said he wanted to apply to Nanjing University.

Of course, she didn't care. Even if the other party was now the son of the richest man, it didn't have much to do with her.

"Alright, go look at your handsome guy over there, I haven't finished my homework yet."

Su Qingshi bluntly told them to get out.

"Fine, fine, go ahead and study. You're studying all the time, what a waste of such a pretty face," Jiang Yunxiao said resentfully, but she still walked away.

Su Qingshi smiled slightly: "I managed to snag two tickets to Xue Zhiqian's concert."

"Awooo! Oh my god!!! Shishi, I love you!!!"

Jiang Yunxiao, who had returned, pounced on Su Qingshi and gave her a hard kiss on the cheek.

"What are you doing, you crazy woman!" Su Qingshi pushed her away, wiped the drool off her face in disgust, and rolled her eyes at her best friend with her cool eyes, which made her look very charming.

"Hehe, Shishi, you're the best!"

Jiang Yunxiao smiled and tried to come closer.

"Shishi, I'm so touched!"

"You dare to touch it?"

Su Qingshi crossed her arms and glared at her: "If you mess around again, I'll kill you!"
