The Four Great Retainers
The first period was taught by the homeroom teacher.
Another middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle, whose hair was even shinier than Ye Yunran's, came up.
This hairstyle is so popular.
It's hard to imagine what Brother Ye looked like when he ended up like this.
Lin Zhihan trembled as her homeroom teacher began to speak.
"We have two new students transferring in this semester. Please welcome them to the stage and introduce themselves!"
"Clap clap clap!" The whole class erupted in applause in gratitude.
It's clear that there's only one new student in the class right now, and that's Ling Yan, because Ling Ling was sent out to inquire about Ling Chaoyue and hasn't returned yet.
Young Ling Yan (Yan Zheng) calmly stepped onto the podium.
The clean-cut young man was well-mannered and polite.
His words and actions instantly made the girls in the audience gasp.
The transfer student has such a cool and aloof demeanor; it's like she's ruling the world!
Standing on the three-foot-high platform, he completely outshone the homeroom teacher.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yan Zheng, nice to meet you." With just a few words of self-introduction and a slight bow, he captivated all the girls in the class.
The boys in the class were also stunned, all captivated by Ling Yan's kingly demeanor.
So what exactly is the purpose of facial correction?
His presence here is a beautiful sight to behold.
This has absolutely nothing to do with appearance.
His mere presence alone overwhelmed the entire class!
It must be said that Lin Zhihan's preemptive strike was very wise.
This is God's arrangement.
Otherwise, with so many girls in the class and even the whole school, how could Lin Zhihan possibly win the favor of such a powerful figure?
Was it because of her luck that she found him in her hometown's backyard?
Okay, that's it.
It seems that from today onwards, Qin Yuting will fall from his throne as the school's most handsome man.
Our Ling Yan doesn't need his looks to secure the title of school heartthrob.
"Sigh," Lin Zhihan thought sadly as she watched Ling Yan walk back to her desk and sit down.
He's so handsome, that's just a feeling.
A feeling of being completely captivated.
Unlike the transfer student who had just left the classroom, Ling Ling's face and physique seemed incongruous, but this feeling was completely absent in Ling Yan.
Although his face had been modified, it wasn't his original appearance.
Lin Zhihan guessed that Yan Zheng might have originally looked like this.
Although not as stunningly beautiful as Ling Yan, she was still a hundred times better looking than Qin Yuting, the universally acknowledged school heartthrob.
As for her son Yan Yan, he was someone who could easily crush them.
Angels are among us.
Our Ling Yan's appearance ranks among the top three in the entire country.
Compared to her stunningly beautiful boyfriend, Lin Zhihan was just an ugly duckling.
If cuteness can be considered a form of beauty.
Our Lin Zhihan looks exactly like that – cute.
The Qin siblings topped the list of the most beautiful girls in the international junior high school.
Qin Zixian
Qin Yuting
Ming Anya, a student in Class 2 of Grade 8, has a better temperament. She is the type of girl from the Lin family, but she is not as bright and beautiful as Qin Zixian.
Ling Chaoyue, on the other hand, is the boss type. Although she is beautiful, her domineering aura makes people hesitate to approach her.
Ming Xiaoxiao is the kind of ordinary girl with average looks, average appearance, average temperament, and average figure.
But her greatest strength lies in her innate chivalrous spirit, as evidenced by her sacrifice of friendship to infiltrate the enemy and successfully divert attention from her four-person group of best friends.
Lin Zhihan and Ye Yunran both have beautiful features, so pretty they're practically flawless, but they're short, round, and cute—the kind of people who don't make it onto any lists or rankings.
Recently, our team has gained a new transfer student: Ling Ling.
Simply put, it hasn't fully developed yet.
Ye Yunran's chubby baby face ruined his pursuit of his goddess.
Lin Zhihan is short and chubby at 155cm, which prevents her from being considered a beauty.
Which school beauty has a figure like stir-fried green beans?
Lin Zhihan lost out because of her height and underdeveloped physique.
But luckily, she was fortunate enough that even while she was painting at home, angels would descend from the sky.
Although the process was not without its twists and turns.
But the male god still ended up in the hands of this shorty, Lin Zhihan.
Therefore, everyone should not underestimate themselves.
If you're not good-looking, make up for it with your figure; if your figure isn't great, you'll have incredible luck.
That's because we got the female lead's script.
She's the chosen one!
The four major families of Fancheng (Chen): Lin, Ming, Qin, and Ye.
The Ling family is the dark king of Fancheng, while the Lin family, with Lin Zhihan's scumbag father being the head of the four major retainers of Fancheng.
All four families rose to prominence thanks to the support of Ling family patriarch Ling Teng'an, hence the name "Four Great Retainers." However, with government intervention, the Ling family gradually moved into the shadows.
The four retainers gradually became dissatisfied with the title of retainers and changed their names to the four great families.
The four major families in Fancheng all openly run legitimate businesses. They are the Ling family's hidden pawns placed in the open.
When Lin Zhihan was still in elementary school, her scumbag father left home.
For the first few years, there was no news of them, but later, somehow they got involved with the Lin family of Fancheng.
Lin Zhihan was certain that her father, the Lin, was not related to the Lin family of Fancheng by blood.
But her scumbag father was able to marry into the Lin family by virtue of his surname. He married Lin Suman, the only daughter of the Lin family, and raised someone else's daughter, Lin Yuexin.
Lin Yuexin is the true daughter of the Lin family, whose father is unknown, and is the same age as Lin Zhihan.
When Lin Zhihan's mother married Lin Xuyao, they only held a small wedding banquet in the countryside and did not obtain a marriage certificate.
That's why this scumbag father was able to take advantage of the situation and marry the only daughter of the Lin family in Fancheng without having to get a divorce.
Lin Zhihan and her mother only learned about this later, after they had become successful and moved to Fancheng.
Lin Zhihan's mother, Liu Meng, harbored no resentment towards a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter and was willing to marry into another family to climb the social ladder.
Everyone has their own ambitions. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. That's how open-minded Liu's mother was!
Sure enough, when you have a good mindset, everything becomes better. Lin Zhihan found that Uncle Xiao, who now does business with her mother, was a nice person.
Is a stepfather worse than a scumbag father?
Lin Zhihan had considered changing her name to take her mother's surname, but her mother said it wasn't necessary.
Even if she changes her surname, she is still Lin Xuyao's daughter.
After his scumbag father became rich, he did try to find his ex-wife Liu Meng, but was chased away by his grandmother's big broom.
Lin Zhihan didn't understand the adults' hatred, but the fact that her father belonged to someone else still saddened her.
Fortunately, she wasn't his biological daughter. As Lin Zhihan grew up and became more sensible, she secretly gloated: "Serves you right for raising someone else's daughter!"
Suddenly, all my anger subsided.
The worst part is that her scumbag father even knows to transfer assets to her.
Only a fool wouldn't take his money.
Although it wasn't an astronomical sum, it was already a huge fortune for Lin Zhihan, who was still a child.
Since Lin Zhihan was in fourth grade, she has been receiving a monthly child support payment of 1 million NTD.
To date, Lin Zhihan's bank account has accumulated a massive deposit of 48 million yuan.
She's definitely a fake heiress from the Lin family.
Lin Zhihan knew her mother wouldn't want it, so she kept it for herself. Now that she had the money, she successfully integrated into the circle of the next generation of the four major families.
Ye Yunran was not bought with money.
This guy came to her on his own. The Ye family has a vast network of information, so I don't know how he knew that she was actually the biological daughter of Lin Xuyao, the current head of the Lin family, before he became successful.
When this guy approached her in fourth grade and started spouting nonsense, Lin Zhihan gave him a good beating.
The two chubby boys were wrestling.
The pampered and privileged Young Master Ye was beaten up and ended up in his own hospital for the first time.
His older brother was the one who bandaged his wounds.
Brother Ye, Ye Wenran, looked at the two chubby boys with bruised and swollen faces and couldn't help but laugh.
His smile is so beautiful!
Lin Zhihan, her nose and eyes a mess of snot and tears, peeked at Brother Ye through her fingers.
After being caught, she cried even louder.
The Ye family later failed to seek justice for Ye Xiaopang.
She also told Ye Xiaopang to spend more time with her.
Two childhood friends who initially clashed but eventually became acquainted embarked on a journey of bickering and growing up together.
Later, Lin Zhihan couldn't remember why she beat up Ye Xiaopang; perhaps he had learned her family's secret.
The Lin family, one of the four great families, is not the same Lin family as her scumbag father, but her scumbag father is the current head of the Lin family.
Lin Yuexin, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, one of the four major families, is not the biological daughter of the current head of the Lin family.
Although the surname Lin is problematic, Lin Zhihan, the biological daughter, has a powerful father and is a biological descendant.
Therefore, it is difficult to judge whether Lin Zhihan, the fake heiress, is more noble, or Lin Yuexin, the real heiress, is more legitimate.
Leaving aside the question of whether the Lin family's daughter is real or fake, the Lin family, the head of the four major families, is a true business tycoon. Their business empire covers many fields, including the internet, finance, clothing, art, catering, supermarkets, and more.
Despite his scumbag father's reputation, his business acumen is undeniable; under his leadership, the Lin family has far surpassed the other three major families.
It is undoubtedly the Ling family's money bag.
Then there's the Ye family, a family of doctors. They own over 100 hospitals in Fancheng, and all the Ye family members, including the 'good-for-nothing' Ye Er, are surgical masters.
The Ye family serves as the Ling family's medical assistance center.
The Qin family practically monopolizes the entire entertainment industry in Fancheng, boasting the largest number of top celebrities in China. It is also an investment project of the Ling family's leisure and entertainment division.
The Ming family dominates the real estate industry. Ming Anya, the head of the Ming family, is the father of Ming Xing, who is one of the top three real estate tycoons in China.
The four major families control the economic lifeline of the prosperous city.
Submit to the Ling family, serve the Ling family.
The four great families owe their current status to Ling Teng'an's immense kindness. It can be said that without the Ling family, there would be no four great families as we know them today.
However, the Ling family is currently experiencing internal strife.
The Lin and Ye families adopted a policy of self-preservation.
After all, this Lin family is not the same as that Lin family. If you need financial assistance, just ask. The Lin family has plenty of money.
What can the Ye family's hospital do to help the Ling family?
Their power dynamics are malfunctioning; would it be acceptable to provide them with free medical assistance?
Both the Qin and Ming families are observing the situation before placing their bets.
The Ling family's children are all good-looking. The loser in the power struggle can come and join the Qin family's entertainment circle; they're guaranteed to become a huge star.
The Ming family will provide free housing for the defeated party for the rest of their lives.
The prerequisite is that the victor agrees.
Currently, the younger generations of the four major families are on relatively good terms.
Ye and Lin became very close at the behest of the family patriarch, but they were favoring the fake heiress.
The reason is that the real heiress, Lin Yuexin, studies dance. Ye 2 had no chance to infiltrate the inner circle.
If Zhen Qianjin is learning folk dance, but she were to learn Latin dance, Ye 2 could be her date.
The Ye family patriarch, with his grand ambitions, wanted to have it all, and wanted both to be strong.
But she couldn't stand her rebellious son, who only clung to the side of the fake heiress. He even became sworn brothers with someone else.
