After leaving the Lin family villa, Mu Liuyun went back to the place where Chu Yaqin had intercepted her last time, hailed an electric scooter, and headed towards Jincheng University of Technology.
This time, his departure went smoothly; he didn't encounter a single beautiful woman on a motorcycle who stopped him.
Some people might think this is a good thing, but they only think that way because there won't be any beautiful women like that intercepting them.
Mu Liuyun, who had actually been intercepted, felt that this was indeed a good thing.
With peace restored around her, Mu Liuyun couldn't help but think about what had happened that morning.
To be honest, he felt somewhat captivated by Chu Yaqin, and even had the idea of spending the rest of his life with her.
Mu Liuyun, who has never been in a relationship, has only one view on love: that two people are always together.
But when he received Chu Yaqin's answer, he only felt disappointed.
"Toy."
What is a toy? It belongs to its owner and accompanies its owner, but the owner does not belong to the toy.
At that moment, Mu Liuyun felt that even if Chu Yaqin didn't treat him as a substitute, she was no different in essence from Shen Lanxin, Shui Qing, and the others.
Therefore, Mu Liuyun felt disappointed, even somewhat dejected. Perhaps, as a man with feminine features, unlike ordinary people, he was unable to obtain what he desired.
"Fortunately, I still have my grandfather and sister, so even without them, it wouldn't have a big impact."
It's said that men with money become bad, but Mu Liuyun wouldn't act recklessly like those men. He values relationships more than indulging his desires.
Even if he can't have love, the family and friends he has in this life are enough to satisfy him.
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun raised her head, feeling the wind blowing in her face: "Tonight, let's take Xiaoxi out for a nice meal~"
...
No more than half an hour after Mu Liuyun left, a luxury car passed by the spot where he had just swept his electric scooter and headed towards the Lin family villa.
In the back seat of the car sat an elderly man with white hair and a buzz cut, who appeared healthy. His smile gave off a gentle feeling, but once the smile disappeared, he immediately became imposing without being angry.
This person was none other than Lin Yaodong, an elder of the Lin family.
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the Lin family villa. Zhang Rui, who had just been pruning the tree branches, immediately turned pale, but still resignedly opened the gate.
As soon as the car pulled up, Zhang Rui stepped forward to open the door and helped the elderly man out of the car.
"Mr. Dong, you've arrived."
Zhang Rui's tone sounded respectful, but his expression revealed his utter disgust for the man before him.
Lin Yaodong was a household name in Jincheng thirty years ago.
Although the Lin family was already very powerful, under his leadership, the Lin family reached a new level, and even the Chu family sometimes had to look up to them.
However, after the current head of the Lin family took office, the old man went into hiding and gradually disappeared from Jincheng.
Everyone assumed that the old man had worked hard all his life and was now enjoying his retirement.
However, some core members of the Lin family, including Zhang Rui, knew that this old man had failed to compete for the position of family head back then and was still trying to seize power.
His methods terrified Zhang Rui. If he could, he really wouldn't want to let Lin Yaodong in.
But Zhang Rui was just a housekeeper, and Lin Hongmei was just a junior. What could they do to stop the old man from coming to visit Lulu?
"I've come to see Lulu. Is Hongmei here?"
Lin Yaodong looked calm and had a warm smile on his lips. He seemed like just an ordinary, gentle old man, and didn't care at all about Zhang Rui's dislike for him.
This wasn't because he didn't notice Zhang Rui's dislike for him; it was simply because he didn't care, and even somewhat enjoyed seeing Zhang Rui hate him but couldn't get rid of him.
"Miss is still sleeping. Please sit in the living room for a while."
Of course, Zhang Rui wouldn't wake the sleeping girl for Lin Yaodong's sake. He had Lin Yaodong sit on the sofa next to Lulu's toys in the living room, then locked Lulu's room door and went about his own business.
Zhang Rui didn't even pour Lin Yaodong a glass of water.
Sitting on the sofa, Lin Yaodong stroked his white beard and began to ponder his problems.
From the outside perspective, a marriage between Lin Hongmei and Liu Kun seems almost impossible.
But with the head of the household away from the country, Lin Yaodong and several old men put pressure on Lin Hongmei, and Lin Hongmei could not refuse.
Most importantly, the Lin family is now dominated by women, with very few sons or even children among the younger generation. Therefore, finding a son-in-law from outside the family is of paramount importance.
As for Lin Hongmei, even if the wedding ultimately doesn't happen, as long as there's the pretext of an engagement, Lin Yaodong can use the Liu family to do a lot of things.
Under his influence, as long as the Liu family can become similar to the Lin family in China, the wedding will have to take place whether or not it's held.
The only problem lies with Lin Lulu.
If Lin Lulu is extremely averse to Liu Kun and absolutely refuses to support Lin Hongmei's marriage to Liu Kun, then the whole thing is basically ruined.
Because Lin Lulu is the only child in the entire Lin family at present, and she is also the family head's granddaughter.
In this way, even though Lin Lulu is young and a girl, she will still have a certain say.
That's why Lin Yaodong took Mu Liuyun's situation so seriously, even though Mu Liuyun was just an orphan who delivered takeout.
Thinking of this, Lin Yaodong took out his phone and looked at the news. Seeing that the top trending topic was still Jin Daba Ling, he nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, Liu Kun, although he's gay, is still quite reliable."
Next, all he needs to do is wait, wait for the day he can regain his position.
After talking to himself, Lin Yaodong put down his phone and picked up Lin Lulu's toys with great interest.
"Children's toys are getting better and better these days. Back in our day, we used slingshots to shoot birds."
While playing with Lulu's toys, Lin Yaodong's gaze was suddenly drawn to a strange wooden plaque. As the former head of the Lin family, Lin Yaodong felt that this wooden plaque looked very familiar.
He subconsciously reached out his withered, wooden hand and tremblingly picked up the wooden plaque.
When he saw the character "林" (Lin) on the wooden sign, he plopped down on the ground.
"No way, no way! I... I fed you all to the bears, didn't I?"
This wooden plaque was prepared twenty years ago by the former head of the Lin family, Lin Yaodong's father, for every male member of the family.
The old patriarch was limited by the times and had some patriarchal ideas, so Lin Hongmei and her sisters did not have this wooden plaque, and it was difficult for them to run for patriarch before they made outstanding achievements.
However, the owner of this wooden plaque was different. He was the newest male in the family that year, and the only male in Lin Hongmei's generation in the entire Lin family.
To prevent this male offspring from jeopardizing his own position, Lin Yaodong not only stole the child but also fed the child, the wooden plaque, and the child thief to a bear.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he was certain that the sign could only be inside a bear's belly.
But who brought this sign here?
Lin Hongmei? Impossible. If she had discovered what happened back then, Lin Yaodong wouldn't be alive today.
Who could it be?
Besides him, Lin Hongmei, and Liu Kun, who else has ever visited this villa?
Remembering what happened back then, Lin Yaodong, who had been lost in thought for a while, gritted his teeth, stood up, and dialed Liu Kun's number: "Hey, Liu Kun, I'm asking you if there's anything special about that Mu Liuyun."
"Nothing much? I just heard from Zhang Rui that he and Lin Hongmei look a lot alike."
"Crack."
"Hey, Uncle Dong, what's with that voice? Hey?"
Lin Yaodong's phone fell to the ground, and he didn't bend down to pick it up for a long time.
