Lin Yu was not joking when he said he would punish Wang Jinlian.
That injection he just gave Wang Jinlian was a little gift.
Before long, it will be even more serious than Wang Jinlian's relapse of intestinal disease. First, she will have diarrhea, then her anus will be unable to hold in stool, and she will also pass foul-smelling gas. Just like Mei Chao back then, it will be a living hell.
Of course, Yuan Ye knew nothing of this; he thought Lin Yu was going to target the Wang family.
He sighed and said, "Young Marshal, let's just forget about it. Wang Jinlian and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, so there's no need for you to take action. You are a dragon, and you don't need to waste your energy on ants!"
Yuan Ye shook his head and continued, "Even though this matter is in the past, I'm not that resentful. After all, my parents didn't actually approve of me being with her in the first place!"
"Oh?" Lin Yu was slightly surprised. "Did your parents already see through the Wang family's true nature?"
Yuan Ye shook his head, his face flushed, and said, "Young Marshal, to be honest, my family is quite well-off. I'd say I'm a rich second-generation. But when I was in college, I got together with Wang Jinlian, and my dad disapproved. He looked down on her family background and strongly opposed it, even cutting off my allowance! I acted impulsively at the time and cut off contact with my family. They even stopped giving me my tuition fees... Sigh, looking back now, I was really foolish. I actually fell out with my family for a woman like that. Now I suddenly feel that I've let my father down!"
Immediately, Yuan Ye began to tell Lin Yu about his family.
It turns out that the Yuan family is actually a top-tier wealthy family in the area, with businesses, and Yuan Ye has been a playboy since childhood.
However, Yuan Ye is quite low-key and never mentions his background when he's with classmates and friends. He also lives a simple and down-to-earth life. Even his high school and university classmates don't know he's from a wealthy family.
According to Yuan Ye, his mother passed away early, and his father raised him and his sister single-handedly, which was really not easy. He often said that he should remember the bitterness of the past and appreciate the sweetness of the present, and be prepared for danger in times of peace.
That's right, Yuan Ye also has an older sister, who is as beautiful as an angel, decisive and efficient, with the air of a domineering female CEO. Compared to himself, a good-for-nothing, his sister seems more like their father's real daughter, and she is already able to assist him in handling business.
He felt invisible at home, like someone who was given away for free with a phone plan. He chose to join the army to find a different path, to get ahead, and to make a difference so that his sister and father would look up to him.
"You know my dad, right? Others might favor boys over girls, but he favors girls over boys. From childhood to adulthood, he always puts my sister first, praising her and belittling me. In front of my sister, I'm just a younger brother!"
When the past was mentioned, Yuan Ye couldn't help but mutter.
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what she said. In front of your sister, what else would you be but a younger brother?
That makes sense. As a man, being suppressed by his older sister from childhood must be hard to bear.
Furthermore, this is indeed the prevailing social norm in Northeast China; there's an excessive preference for daughters over sons. Some fathers are exceptionally kind and tolerant towards their daughters, but incredibly harsh on their sons. Just like how Lin Yuanlong treated me when I was a child.
However, as he grew older and learned more, he gradually began to understand. There was definitely an element of fatherly love involved. It wasn't necessarily a case of painstaking effort, but rather a feeling of hope.
Because only men understand that a man's life is destined to bear more than a woman's, so only by experiencing setbacks and suffering can he grow up and become a true man.
Having an easy childhood isn't necessarily a good thing. For example, some people have a stroke of good fortune early on, accumulating immense wealth in their twenties or thirties, but this wealth is difficult to retain.
Luck, not skill!
Those who have experienced setbacks in their youth know that they should keep their sharp edges hidden, not compete or show off, and in the end, they can preserve both wealth and virtue, which is true success.
Judging from Yuan Ye's description, Lin Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with his father.
There is no father in the world who doesn't love his son, but boys from well-off families really can't have it too easy. Old Yuan's approach was flawless.
"Hmph! I've been in the army for so long and my family hasn't contacted me at all. They've basically left me to my own devices! I even feel like my dad has given up on me as his son!" Yuan Ye couldn't help but snort, clearly very dissatisfied with his father.
Lin Yu shook his head. "We can't think of it that way. There might be other possibilities!"
Yuan Ye was taken aback. "What's possible?"
Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly as he joked, "Maybe you're not your dad's biological son!"
That was a bit harsh, and it seemed like they were deliberately trying to provoke Yuan Ye.
However, Yuan Ye actually started to believe it, and his expression twitched as he said, "Holy crap, young marshal, what you're saying is actually quite possible! I've finally figured it out, maybe I really am not my dad's biological son!"
"Young Marshal, I'd like to ask for leave! My home isn't far from here, and I want to go home and ask my dad about it!" Yuan Ye said hurriedly.
Lin Yu's expression froze.
He was just joking.
This kid actually believed it!
That's a huge statement!
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly. "Alright, it's getting late. Since you want to go home, we'll just stay at your place for the night!"
In his view, Yuan Ye's family was so wealthy that their living conditions must be quite good.
Yuan Ye nodded, but then said, "Young Marshal, could we not reveal your identity for now?"
"Why?" Lin Yu frowned and said, "Would it be embarrassing for you if I, the young marshal, went home with you?"
"No, no, no!" Yuan Ye hurriedly said, "Young Marshal, you don't know, my dad is such a cunning old fox, he's really good at currying favor. I'm afraid that once he finds out about your clone, his attitude towards me will change, and then I won't be able to verify if he's really my father!"
"Now that I'm home, I need to do a blood test to confirm his kinship!" Yuan Ye said earnestly.
"..."
Lin Yu was speechless again.
Damn it!
I was just saying it casually, I didn't expect this kid to take it so seriously.
"Fine! Say what you want, I just need somewhere to eat and sleep!" Lin Yu said indifferently.
Right now, he hasn't decided where to go.
Because of the previous incident involving Ivy's short videos, there was still some distance between him and his wife. He wasn't mentally prepared to go back to his wife and sister-in-law. Following Yuan Ye wasn't a bad idea.
Just as Yuan Ye was leading Lin Yu to the Yuan family for the blood test to confirm their kinship,...
On the other side, the Lion Hotel.
The engagement banquet between the Jin and Wang families is ready.
The auditorium was packed with guests.
The Wang family was also given the most prominent seats.
At this moment, the female lead, Wang Jinlian, is putting on makeup in the dressing room, dressed in her finest attire.
Looking at her glamorous reflection in the mirror, Wang Jinlian was incredibly excited.
I never imagined that I, who came from humble beginnings, would one day rise to prominence like a phoenix!
