Bai Youxin was unable to refute Lin Wuchen's words.
This incident happened because the Bai family did offend the Lin family, but those small businesses that were previously swallowed up by the Bai family did not offend the Bai family at all.
However, because it blocked the Bai family's expansion, it was gradually eroded.
Lin Wuchen didn't have the patience to talk to Bai Youxin anymore, and said in a cold voice: "Bai Shaodong, please go back. If you continue to make trouble, I'm afraid you will lose all your dignity."
When Bai Youxin was doing business in the past, she had to deal with powerful people.
Bowing and scraping is a common occurrence.
She didn't think it was a big deal, everyone just got what they needed.
But today, she truly felt that Lin Wuchen had thrown her face and self-esteem to the ground and trampled on it.
But things are different now, she can no longer provoke Lin Wuchen.
Bai Youxin took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "Excuse me for disturbing Third Young Master Lin. I'll take my leave now. Third Young Master Lin, please reconsider what I just said."
After saying that, she turned and walked out of Lin's Trading Company.
The person accompanying her today is Madam Liu, who is also an elder member of the Bai family in the capital.
Because Ju'er was sold out, Nanny Liu has been staying with Bai Youxin all this time.
"Miss, please don't be too anxious. Our Bai family has been established and engaged in business for hundreds of years. No matter how capable Third Young Master Lin is, can he really overthrow the Bai family?"
As Ma Liu spoke, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and helped Bai Youxin get in.
Bai Youxin didn't say anything, she just felt that Liu Ma was ignorant and fearless.
The third young master of the Lin family really has the ability to overthrow the Bai family, it just depends on whether he wants to.
On the way back to the Bai family's carriage, Bai Youxin lifted the curtain a little and looked outside casually.
She has been to the capital many times, but this time her mood is the most complicated.
When passing by a casino, there seemed to be a commotion ahead and the carriage stopped.
Bai Youxin looked over and saw that it was the casino manager collecting a debt. But this was the first time she had seen someone so servile in their debt collection.
The man who owed the money was a man in his twenties, dressed in fine clothes. It was obvious at first glance that he was of noble status.
The casino manager was discussing, "Mr. Jiang, please give me some money, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the boss."
Bai Youxin was puzzled. Since this young man was of noble status, he shouldn't be collecting debts in public.
Then he suddenly realized that this was the capital. Those who could open a casino in the capital were all well-connected people.
Although the manager was humble, the fact that he said it in public showed that the boss behind him did not take the young man in front of him seriously.
Madam Liu peeked through the gap in the carriage curtain and said, "Isn't this the second son of the Jiang family of the Marquis of Jingyuan? Speaking of which, he's actually related to our Bai family."
"It's just that I haven't been around much in recent years. Who would have thought that the Jiang family is so prosperous now? I heard that the Empress Chen in the palace is now the most favored in the harem."
Bai Youxin was a little surprised. How come she didn't know about this marriage?
"What kind of relationship do our family have with the Jiang family? Why don't we have any contact?"
Nanny Liu said, "The great-grandmother of the second young master of the Jiang family was a sister of the young lady's great-grandmother. Later, the Jiang family gradually declined. I heard that the ancestors had conflicts, but they faded. By the time of the master's generation, there was almost no contact."
"This second son of the Jiang family, he flirts with cats and dogs in the capital, chases girls and chases away widows. His reputation is very bad."
"But I heard that their eldest son is stationed in Liaodong and is already a third-rank general."
Bai Youxin looked at the second son of the Jiang family, who looked like a scoundrel, and suddenly she had an idea.
If this step is taken correctly, perhaps the Bai family still has a chance to turn things around.
She whispered to Madam Liu, "After we go back, Madam, send someone to keep an eye on the second young master of the Jiang family."
Matron Liu was puzzled. "Young lady, are you trying to establish a relationship with the Jiang family? If it were before the Empress Chen entered the palace, it might have been easy, but now..."
Even without her saying it, Bai Youxin knew that at this time, how could the Jiang family look at a poor distant relative like her in the eye?
Bai Youxin said softly, "I'm not looking for a relationship, I'm looking to do business with the Jiang family, or more precisely, with Empress Chen."
"There aren't many people in the capital who can speak up for the Bai family right now, and Consort Chen is one of them."
She offered half or even 70% of the Bai family's wealth, and she didn't believe that the Empress Chen would not be tempted. As long as the Lin family stopped, the Bai family would have a chance to make a comeback.
Although Nanny Liu didn't know what she was going to do, she nodded in agreement.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February, and Lin Wanli, the eldest master of the Lin family, finally arrived in Beijing, exhausted.
It was already evening when he arrived in Beijing. After having a casual dinner, he called Lin Wuchen to his study.
The father and son sat opposite each other and talked about this matter.
Lin Wanli was very satisfied with the result. After all, Su Shunci was the daughter-in-law he had long chosen.
But when Lin Wuchen said that the two of them would settle down in the capital, Su Shunci would run the shipping business alone, and all the properties would be private property, the smile on Lin Wanli's face froze.
"You are making a fuss. According to the rules of the Lin family, everyone must return to the old house in Yunzhou Prefecture to settle down."
"Besides, after marriage, she will be the wife of the Third Young Master of the Lin family. How can she be in the shipping business alone?"
He knew that his third son was a stubborn person, so he looked at Lin Wuchen twice while speaking.
Seeing that he hadn't listened at all, she softened her tone and said, "Wu Chen, don't act recklessly. No matter how capable a woman is, she will eventually have to take care of her husband and children. You are a man, you have to support the family business."
Lin Wuchen disagreed and said, "What about my aunt? She has been supporting her husband and raising children for twenty years, and what has she gained in return?"
"Aci's business has nothing to do with whether I can support the family business or not. She is my wife, and I support whatever she does, as long as she likes it and is happy."
Lin Wanli said angrily: "Your aunt is a special case and has nothing to do with your marriage."
"You are trying to turn against Tian Gang. Since she is doing well in business, why don't you go home and have the baby?"
Lin Wuchen shrugged, "If I can give birth, it's not impossible."
Lin Wanli was so angry that he lowered his head, took off his shoes, and was about to hit Lin Wuchen.
There was a loud bang, and the sole of a big shoe hit Lin Wuchen.
A large shoe print was clearly printed on the moon-white brocade robe with dark patterns.
Lin Wanli was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you hide?"
Lin Wuchen said seriously, "Father can use any punishment he wants on me."
"But there is no turning back on this matter."
"If father feels that I have brought shame to the Lin family, I can leave the Lin family. After all, I am not the eldest son."
Lin Wanli was so angry that he kicked him again and turned around and left the study.
Lin Wuchen went back to sleep as usual as if nothing had happened.
The next morning, during breakfast, Lin Wanli said with a stern face, "I'll find a house for you in the next few days, and the Lin family will pay for it."
"You're not a dead father or mother, so why are you paying for the house yourself?"
