However, the online public opinion did not allow Lin Qiu to delay. He watched as more and more people paid attention online, and even the company's stock began to fluctuate.

He had to give a positive response.

According to the public relations department, he will take all the children back to raise them, and he will also pay huge sums of money to raise any children who do not want to return.

He knew that many of the trending topics were bought by his brothers, but he had evidence.

These people all want to see themselves suffer, so that the old man will kick them out of the Lin Group, giving them a greater chance to inherit the Lin family business.

Although he has made a mistake, he knows he will not lose. Although he is currently embroiled in scandal, he has a daughter who looks remarkably like his mother.

If she could return to the Lin family, his chances of winning would actually be higher.

But now is not a good time. He is already in the eye of the storm, and he has to wait until this storm has passed before he can bring Lin Zhiluo back.

He wanted Lin Zhiluo to know that she was different from other illegitimate children.

But he felt even more sorry for his child with his beloved.

After sending out his apology letter, he sent a message to his beloved Bai Yueguang.

He and Bai Yueguang discussed whether or not to bring their two children to the Lin family.

Bai Yueguang initially disagreed, but Lin Qiu persuaded him that now the whole internet knew about their family's situation, and it was the perfect time to come back. After returning to the Lin family, the two children would have better resources.

Hearing him say that, Zhou Miaotong finally agreed to Lin Qiu's suggestion.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Miaotong changed her previous timid demeanor. She looked at her two children and said, "After all these years, this is what we've wanted. When you return to the Lin family, you must try to curry favor with your father."

"Neither Lin Simo nor Lin Jiayue can compare to you in Lin Sheng's heart."

She looked at her youngest daughter and said, "Tiantian, you are still young. As long as you study hard, your rival is Lin Hongxi, the youngest son of the Lin family. As long as your grades are better than Lin Hongxi's, you will crush him under your feet."

Lin Tiantian is sweet and lovely, with innocent, watery eyes like a fawn. But Zhou Miaotong knows that her daughter's mind is deeper than that of an adult. Under her deliberate guidance, she is far less naive than she appears.

She looked at her eldest son, Lin Yelin: "I've always known what you want. Go for it. I'll support you no matter what happens in the future."

Lin Tiantian blinked her big eyes and leaned close to Zhou Miaotong, saying sweetly, "Mother, don't worry. We've always known what we want. We want a legitimate identity."

"I will never forget the humiliation I suffered at the hands of that illegitimate child." Lin Tiantian's eyes were icy cold.

Zhou Miaotong hugged her with heartache: "It's all your mother's fault for not being able to give you a legitimate identity."

Actually, she had opportunities before. She could have married a good man back then. If Lin Qiu hadn't forced her into marriage, she wouldn't have lived so many years being gossiped about behind her back.

The worst off are her children. When they go to school, they are either mocked as orphans or as illegitimate children who cannot be brought into the light of day.

Neither of the two children experienced happiness in the first half of their lives.

Later, she came to a realization: since things had already come to this, why not let them try their best to make the Lin family their own and let them live a life of humiliation?

Lin Yelin nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I know what we need to do. This time, we are fortunate to have had that gentleman help us. He even promised me that all of the Lin family's assets will be mine in the future."

Zhou Miaotong nodded: "You must be careful when you go to the Lin family. My two children and I depend on each other for survival. In my opinion, nothing in the Lin family is as important as you."

Lin Tiantian said affectionately, "Mother, don't worry, I will contact you every day from now on."

At this moment, Lin Zhiluo was being scolded by Qi Zhiyang because she accidentally burned herself while eating and looking at the drama on Weibo.

She looked at the red mark on her hand and sighed softly, "It wasn't this delicate before, and the soup wasn't very hot either."

Qi Zhiyang chuckled: "You should be glad that the soup isn't too hot. If it were a little hotter, we'd have another dish on our table today."

"What dish?" Lin Zhilu didn't react for a moment.

"Braised pork knuckles in clear broth".

Lin Zhilu rolled her eyes and let Qi Zhiyang apply the medicine for her. After the medicine was applied, Lin Zhilu withdrew her hand.

She wanted to look at her phone while eating, but Qi Zhiyang stopped her: "Eat your meal, then eat. If you want to watch the show, you can do it after you finish eating."

After saying that, he took Lin Zhiluo's phone aside. Qi Zhiyang's current abilities are quite remarkable; it can be said that he has no rivals in this world.

When a cultivator from the immortal realm enters the mortal world, dealing with someone as powerless as Lin Zhiluo is incredibly easy.

Lin Zhiluo thought of this and looked at Qi Zhiyang with a mournful expression: "Senior Brother, you're so powerful, am I going to be bullied by you in the future?"

Qi Zhiyang scoffed: "In the past life plus this life, it's been almost tens of thousands of years. In the past, when you were in a bad mood, you would hit me whenever you wanted. When have I ever stood there and let you hit me obediently? I've never fought back?"

Although her attacks were like tickling him, she had a group of junior brothers and sisters behind her, and even their master sided with her because of her wealth.

She continued to lament, "Things are different now. Back then, I had powerful backers." She knew all too well that she had been relying on others for support before.

Qi Zhiyang's lips twitched. Although he didn't understand why Lin Zhilu felt that he was bullying him, he still got up and went to the kitchen to get a knife for her: "Why don't you stab my heart now and see if I will fight back?"

Lin Zhiluo held a sharp knife in her hand and pressed it against Qi Zhiyang's chest.

"Boss...!" When Cen Qi came in, he saw Master Lin holding a knife against their boss's chest.

He didn't understand, he was shocked, and his eyes widened.

"Master Lin, please calm down. Put down the knife and we'll talk. The knife is innocent... not our boss." Cen Qi was so flustered that he couldn't think straight.

Qi Zhiyang held Lin Zhiluo's hand: "If you're not going to poke, then eat properly."

"Oh." Lin Zhiluo reached for the phone that Qi Zhiyang had put away, but the next second her other hand was also grabbed.

Qi Zhiyang gave her a cold look: "Eat your meal before you play on your phone."

When Qi Zhiyang held Lin Zhiluo's hand, he avoided the area where she had just been burned. After seeing that the situation had improved, he took her to eat.

As for the knife that had just been pressed against her chest, Lin Zhiluo casually tossed it aside.

Standing at the door, Cen Qi felt an urge to curse the boss for the first time. "What kind of fun are you two having?"

"Cen Qi, have you eaten? Do you want to eat together?" Lin Zhiluo asked.

Cen Qi shuddered and met Qi Zhiyang's gaze. He swallowed hard and said, "Boss, the house is all ready. I came to get your suitcase. I'll be leaving now."

Then he turned to Lin Zhiluo and said, "Miss Lin, I've already eaten. Please continue eating."
