Lin Jun brought out the first dish, then walked out. He called out to Fatty by the wall, and only went back into the kitchen after receiving a response.

Pickled fish, braised prawns, scallops with vermicelli, shredded pork with green peppers, braised pork belly, stir-fried bok choy, and a serving of squid seafood soup.

Lin Ziyan arranged the dishes, just as the chubby girl walked into the main room.

She saw two guests, stopped in her tracks, and looked at them questioningly.

Lin Shaowen gave them a brief introduction, and then they started eating.

He didn't have such a good appetite before, but now he gets hungry at mealtimes.

He thought that his improved sleep had led to a better appetite.

He doesn't think so now, mainly because the food in China suits his taste better.

When he was in Germany, his family often cooked these dishes, but he always felt that something was missing.

Lin Kun's eyes flickered when he saw the chubby girl, but he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Song Dan glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

The chubby girl was only focused on eating, eating pickled fish and bok choy without understanding anything else.

This pregnancy is different from the first one. I often feel hungry, and sometimes I feel so hungry that I shiver two hours after eating.

During the meal, almost no one said anything.

After finishing his meal, Lin Shaowen only sat for a short while before going back to his room for a nap.

Lin Jun was washing the dishes when the chubby girl brought a bag of fruit home.

Only three people remained in the main room.

Lin Kun: "Cousin, have you ever thought about developing your career in Germany?"

Song Dan looked nervous, lowered her head to drink water, and listened intently.

Lin Ziyan smiled faintly, her eyes sparkling, and slowly and methodically placed the new tea leaves into the teapot.

Which aspect are you referring to?

Lin Kun narrowed his eyes. "You should know what I'm talking about."

"I'm sorry, I'm rather slow-witted and can't guess what my cousin is thinking," Lin Ziyan said with a smile on her lips and her eyes.

The atmosphere froze instantly, with only the sound of the tea lid hitting the rim of the cup.

Lin Kun wasn't in a hurry. He paused for a moment, watching her tea-making skills.

She has studied tea ceremony?

"How could we not guess? You tricked A-Jun's grandfather into returning to China to retire. Don't think we can't guess your purpose." Song Dan's expression changed, and her gentle gaze turned sharp.

Lin Ziyan looked up, neither refuting nor admitting it.

It's his right to decide where he wants to spend his retirement. He's old now and wants to be with his family and return to his roots. She can understand and respect his choice.

As for what others think?

She didn't care what others thought, nor did she have the energy to think about it.

"It's fine if you don't admit it, but we won't just stand by and watch the company that the old man built up be handed over to an outsider." Song Dan said sternly.

Lin Ziyan remained silent with a faint smile, poured a cup of tea, and placed it aside for Lin Jun.

Lin Kun glanced at Song Dan with a warning look, then spoke gently.

"It's impossible for you to get Rongkai Group; the old man wrote his will long ago."

"So, in order to save face for everyone..."

He suddenly stopped. Lin Jun walked out of the kitchen and glanced at them indifferently.

Lin Ziyan slightly raised her chin, gesturing for Lin Jun to sit down and have some tea.

Lin Kun's eyes flickered, and he didn't continue speaking.

"You came all this way just to talk about this?" Lin Jun asked casually, as if he were chatting with someone.

But Song Dan knew that her son was on the verge of exploding in anger.

They had never cared about their son's life, and now if they said anything more, they would be shocked by his impatient gaze.

Lin Jun crossed his legs. "You really think I'm interested in Rongkai Group?"

Lin Kun's eyes flickered, his lips pressed tightly together, unsure of what to say.

My son has always wanted to be a lawyer.

Song Dan straightened her back. "Even if you're not interested, Rongkai Group can't fall into her hands."

"Ah Jun, do you know how big Rongkai Group is? Don't act rashly."

She married Lin Kun because she valued his simple family background.

The Song family and the Lin family are similar; both came to Germany during the war and then settled there.

The Song family's business wasn't as large as the Lin family's, but they were still prominent figures in the business world.

Lin Jun smiled sarcastically. When he was a child, he always thought his parents were busy, which was why they were often away from home.

It wasn't until one day, during his graduation trip, that he saw his parents vacationing in a seaside villa and realized that they were indeed busy, busy traveling and vacationing everywhere.

Grandpa probably knew all along, which is why he set the rule that you have to apply for a job at Rongkai Group and get in based on your own merit.

Song Dan took two boxes out of her designer bag. "I don't need these."

She didn't open it, assuming from the outset that such a shabby box couldn't contain anything of value.

Lin Ziyan looked up and stared at her as if she were an idiot.

Lin Jun clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury.

Insulting someone?

These two boxes were a gift from my grandmother. Whatever they were, it would be very impolite to return them.

The gloom in Lin Ziyan's eyes dissipated, and the corners of her lips slowly curved upwards. "Are you sure you want to come back?"

Song Dan nodded, and said dismissively, "I don't lack jewelry."

Lin Kun's eyelids twitched. He wanted to speak, but was too embarrassed to take the box back.

"Are you also going to return the box that Grandma gave you?" Lin Ziyan asked Lin Jun.

“Of course not, it was passed down to my wife.” Lin Jun immediately shook his head.

He only opened it briefly and glanced at it; the translucent jade bracelet looked very expensive.

"despair!"

Lin Ziyan opened the box and said with a faint smile, "Grandma saved some money."

Song Dan stared wide-eyed at the jade bracelet in the box, a greedy glint in her eyes.

Lin Kun swallowed hard. This jade bracelet was obviously expensive and genuine.

Lin Ziyan pressed a button on the jewelry box, pulling out a compartment containing rubies, sapphires, and other precious stones. The jewelry was exquisitely carved, like items for auction.

"Don't worry, I don't care about Rongkai Group, but based on my understanding of my uncle, you and your wife probably won't get much of the property."

"Now you're even rushing to return the jewelry to the Lin family, I thank you on behalf of my grandmother." Lin Ziyan smiled, but there was no real joy in her eyes.

These jewels are now unique pieces and could be displayed in museums.

…

Back at the hotel,

Song Dan sat in the suite, looking dazed, feeling heartbroken whenever she thought of the jewelry box.

Those things originally belonged to her.

Those jewels were sent to auction houses, and each piece fetched an astronomical price.

She and Lin Kun used to go to auctions often, even if they didn't buy anything, it was still a good way to broaden their horizons.

"You didn't even open it and look at it?" Lin Kun's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

He believed Lin Ziyan's words; they shouldn't be focusing their attention on outsiders right now.

If what she said is true, then her adoptive father has probably already changed his will.

"Who knew that there was jewelry hidden in that old box..." Song Dan suddenly stopped. Wait, was that box an antique too?

What exactly is the background of the Lin family?

Lin Kun, "That box is made of Phoebe zhennan wood, can't you tell?"

Song Dan's pupils dilated in shock, as if a large piece of her heart had been ripped out.

Golden nanmu? It can fetch astronomical prices at auctions.

Song Dan was filled with remorse.
