Chapter 2.02 Brother, am I being willful?

Lin Zhao felt dizzy upon hearing this.

When she came to her senses, Fu Yansheng had already led her back to the Fu family villa.

Lin Zhao never expected that after learning that he was a fake young master...

Fu Yansheng was actually willing to take him in and even wanted to give him a job!

Given my current situation, most people would probably avoid me like the plague; who would be eager to pull me into their lives?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao felt a mix of emotions.

The phone kept ringing. Lin Zhao glanced at the messages on it and put it aside.

Most people came to ask him whether what he said at the banquet today was true or false.

After all, this is not something to joke about.

The Lin family originally did not intend to reveal this news. Even if the real young master returned home, they would only treat him as a child who had been lost unintentionally.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao said it outright.

The Lin family tried to contact Lin Zhao, but they couldn't get through to him no matter what they tried.

Lin's parents sat in the living room, looking anxious.

They understood Lin Zhao's personality; once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.

Originally, they wanted to try to change Lin Zhao's mindset, but unexpectedly, Lin Zhao turned around and revealed that she was not a child of the Lin family.

Unlike their aloof eldest son, Lin Zhao was obedient and well-behaved from a young age, always around the Lin family couple like a little sun.

Who wouldn't like a child like that?

When they learned that Lin Zhao was not their child, they even felt heartbroken.

It's heartbreaking that such a well-behaved and obedient child isn't theirs.

Therefore, Lin Rong suggested that they should have both children.

But Lin Zhao refused.

Or, to put it another way, Lin Zhao felt it was unfair to another child in the Lin family.

At the time, Lin Zhao's parents understood what she meant and kept thinking of waiting and waiting some more.

Lin Zhao is old enough to understand things; she will eventually realize their good intentions.

Lin Zhao always felt that it was better to stay at home.

But the Lin family never expected that Lin Zhao would actually be willing to give everything back to another person.

“I told you long ago not to tell Zhaozhao yet, but you insisted that Zhaozhao would be unhappy if she didn’t know. Now everyone knows, what is Zhaozhao going to do? It’s all your fault for insisting on a paternity test.”

Lin's mother spoke with a hint of reproach, glancing at the two men beside her with a sorrowful look in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rong looked at his mother, but dared not contradict her, and could only sigh.

"Mother, don't worry, I will bring my brother back."

"Find out who was spreading rumors at the banquet. Zhao Zhao probably left with President Fu and is not in any danger. Deal with the gossip first, then bring him back."

Zhao Zhao and Fu Yansheng had a good relationship; they left the banquet together, which was noticed by everyone.

Therefore, Zhao Zhao will not be in any danger.

Furthermore, since Zhao Zhao probably hasn't figured out how to view this matter yet, Lin's father doesn't dare to pressure her.

We can only wait for Zhaozhao to figure things out on her own, and we also hope that Fu Yansheng can give her some advice.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it right away. I'll go to the Fu family tomorrow to bring Zhaozhao back."

Lin Rong frowned, his expression not looking good.

Lin Rong felt that Fu Yansheng was not a good person and had never liked Lin Zhao associating with him.

He was naturally worried when he learned that Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng had left together.

Unlike the worries on the Lin family's side.

Lin Zhao, whose parents could not be contacted, was sitting in front of Fu Yansheng at this moment, holding a glass of milk that Fu Yansheng had given her.

"Go to bed early after you finish drinking."

Fu Yansheng looked at Lin Zhao, who was now obedient and unlike her usual lively self, and felt worried, but he did not show it to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao hummed in agreement and smiled.

I wanted to cheer myself up and say something to the person in front of me, but I still felt down.

Fu Yansheng didn't say anything, he just patted Lin Zhao's head.

Lin Zhao used to occasionally come and stay one night; there was a room for Lin Zhao in the villa.

Lin Zhao, holding the milk, obediently said goodnight to Fu Yansheng: "Brother Fu, I'm going to my room to rest now. I'll be working with President Fu starting tomorrow!"

Lin Zhao looked at Fu Yansheng with a smile in her eyes, while Fu Yansheng felt helpless.

"Okay, go to sleep early, goodnight, don't overthink it."

Lin Zhao carried the milk and took her phone, which had gradually calmed down, back to her room on the second floor.

When I opened my phone, I only saw calls from my brother and WeChat messages from friends.

Lin Zhao received text messages from her parents, but she was not in the mood to reply.

Lin Zhao had only recently learned about her background.

Staying with the Lin family ensures a comfortable future.

But that would truly be a betrayal of the young master who had dominated his life for twenty-three years.

Leaving the Lin family meant that he would no longer have the privileged life he once had.

Without the title of young master of the Lin family, he is nothing.

Lin Zhao was also conflicted.

But he understood even more clearly that no matter how much he struggled with the decision, he ultimately only had one choice.

That is to leave.

Lin Zhao was a child who was pampered and coddled by the Lin family. She received a good education from a young age and knew right from wrong.

This also left Lin Zhao with no reason to stay in the Lin family.

Lin Zhao took a deep breath, first opened the chat box of her parents, and began to reply to them.

He comforted Lin's parents, saying that he was fine.

Then he called back the eldest brother of the Lin family. The call was answered in just two seconds.

"Zhaozhao?" Lin Rong's voice was gentle. "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Lin Rong glanced at the time; it was long past Lin Zhao's usual rest time. He waved to stop the meeting on the computer and turned off the sound.

With a gentle expression, she listened to Lin Zhao speak.

"I can't sleep, brother. Am I being willful?" Lin Zhao asked in a low voice, sitting on the edge of the bed with a troubled look in his eyes.

He should have been identified as not being the true young master of the Lin family by the Lin family, rather than by himself casually stating it at the banquet.

This gave the Lin family absolutely no chance to react.

Lin Zhao had only thought of this matter recently.

He had no experience dealing with people in the business world, and his considerations were not as thorough as Lin Rong's.

Unexpectedly, the information he casually mentioned would require the Lin family to spend time on public relations and stabilizing and guiding the online messages.

Besides, if I don't go home after telling them this news, my parents and brother must be worried sick.

That's why Lin Zhao made that phone call.

This was to reassure Lin Rong and the others that they had not encountered any danger.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rong simply laughed:

“My younger brother has the right to be willful. Zhao Zhao, go to bed early tonight. I’ll come to the Fu family to pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Lin Rong's tone was coaxing.

Lin Zhao was stunned upon hearing this, then spoke softly:

“Brother, I’m not a child of the Lin family. I can’t monopolize someone else’s life. That would be unfair to the real children of the Lin family.”

Lin Rong frowned upon hearing this, his expression turning serious, but he couldn't bring himself to speak harshly to Lin Zhao.

The boy who used to follow me around and ask me to help him make choices can now make his own decisions.

Although Lin Rong didn't particularly like this decision.

This is Zhao Zhao, whom he watched grow up since she was a child.

When she was little, Zhao Zhao would do anything to get what she wanted, even if it meant begging, acting cute, or rolling around on the ground.

Why should I put myself through this?

Not to mention that Lin Rong had absolutely no feelings for his other younger brother.

Lin Rong couldn't help but think back to when they were children, when he also disliked his younger brother, Lin Zhao.

After all, according to my friends, my younger brother is a troublemaker and not a good kid.

But Lin Zhao was obedient and well-behaved from a young age, and he always liked to save food, toys, and other necessities for his older brother.

Unlike the noisy children in my friends' homes, she is clingy but obedient.

He said his younger brother would only smile at him, all sweet and gentle.

That's why Lin Rong fell in love with his younger brother, Lin Zhao.

"Then we won't go back to the Lin family. Your brother has other houses outside. You can stay wherever you like." As long as we don't stay at the Fu family's house, anything is fine.

Lin Rong spoke decisively.

Lin Zhao was somewhat surprised to hear this, not expecting her brother to agree so easily.

Lin Zhao relaxed a little, her tone becoming more lively:

"No need, brother. Brother Fu just needs a 24-hour assistant. I can just stay at the Fu family's house."

Lin Rong: ?

no?

What is this? A 24-hour assistant?

Do we still need to live at the Fu family's house?

This thing sounds unreliable!

But his younger brother trusted Fu Yansheng far too much!

No matter what I say, Zhao Zhao probably won't believe me.

"Zhao Zhao, I also need an assistant..." Lin Rong wanted to persuade Lin Zhao to stay.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao blinked innocently and said, "But I remember Dad said he would hire an assistant for you, but my brother said he didn't need one!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rong took a deep breath.

I just felt my head buzzing.

I should have known better than to say that.

"Brother, don't worry, Brother Fu is a very good person..."

Lin Zhao knew that Lin Rong disliked Fu Yansheng, probably because she always played with Fu Yansheng when they were young and neglected Lin Rong.

From then on, Lin Rong didn't like Fu Yansheng very much.

People always say Fu Yansheng is scheming.

Even though the Fu family is a top-tier family and Fu Yansheng is someone everyone tries to curry favor with, Lin Rong still doesn't like him.

He often spoke ill of Fu Yansheng in front of Lin Zhao.

In Lin Rong's view, Fu Yansheng was a cunning old fox in the business world, while his younger brother was a soft and cuddly house cat. How could he possibly outsmart the old fox?

They were afraid that Zhao Zhao might be sold out by Fu Yansheng one day.

"I understand. If he treats you badly, remember to tell me. Don't keep things bottled up inside. Zhaozhao, you'll always be my brother."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao felt a warmth in her heart.

"Okay, goodnight, brother. Don't stay up late working."

Lin Rong said okay, and waited for Lin Zhao to hang up the phone.

Lin Rong then reopened the meeting audio, his voice returning to its cold tone: "If the Luo family can't speak properly, then let's teach them a lesson."

"Also, this matter has clearly been kept under wraps, so where did Luo Sheng get this information from? Investigate thoroughly. By the way, I don't want to see any news I don't want to see online, understand?"

Little Darling Lin Zhao: Brother, he's not a bad man at all. He's really good to me! [Let me see]
