Lin Xiao knew that this was the original owner's mother, Lin Yaqin, a gentle and dignified woman. He had seen her once when he was a child and then she never appeared again, as if she would never appear again.
The sudden appearance puzzled Lin Xiao. Could it be that his mother also knew something?
"Mom? What brings you here? Aren't you at work?"
Lin Yaqin is also a formidable woman. She publicly claims to be a senior executive of an international company, but no one knows what she is actually doing.
However, Lin Xiao noticed something: the woman's demeanor had changed. She used to be indecisive, but now her eyes held a sharp edge.
Lin Xiao ran past Lin Yaqin, took her hand affectionately, and didn't mind that there were other outsiders around.
"Mom, I miss you so much. You haven't come to see me at all. I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Lin Xiao's playful and coquettish behavior was directed at someone else. Although he knew that "someone else" was the little guy's mother, Nan Lichuan still felt a little displeased.
The little guy is getting too close to others, that won't do.
Thinking that Nan Lichuan had already taken action, pulling the person over, his face seemed to say "jealousy," implying his displeasure.
"Xiao, don't have too much close contact with other people, or I'll get jealous."
Lin Xiao blushed and rubbed her face when her earlobe was bitten. She didn't know where to look. This idiot, he said everything, especially in front of his mother and the others.
"Brother, what are you doing? There's someone here. Aren't you afraid of being scolded?"
Lin Xiao stopped Nan Lichuan from getting any closer, after all, there were other people present, and he still couldn't stand being like this in this kind of setting.
Yes, he was conflicted and frustrated...
She likes her brother, but doesn't have the courage to let others know, yet she wants to make it public. So, don't you think this behavior is strange?
"Xiao Xiao, your mother came here mainly for your wonderful father."
Lin Xiao understood. So her mother also knew about their affair; otherwise, how could she only know about that woman, and given that woman's methods...?
Lin Yaqin turned to look at the woman who had remained silent, her gentle expression turning into cold indifference. Rivals always seem to exchange barbs when they meet.
Back then, because her family wasn't wealthy enough, she had everything taken from her. Now that they're on equal footing, don't even think about getting anything from her!
Lin Yaqin snorted coldly. To outsiders, she felt there was no need for her to act gentle and tolerant. To deal with an opponent, one had to use special methods, didn't she?
"Back then, you threatened me to leave Nanshan's side by using my family and my children. I had no choice but to compromise with you. But things are different now. I can stand on equal footing with you."
Your time to be smug is over!
Nan's mother trembled with anger. She hadn't expected this woman to come knocking on her door, especially not with the air of a victor. Next year, she was just an ugly duckling.
"You, Nanshan, don't believe what she says. She's lying. I'm your wife, how could I possibly harm you? I did think about transferring your assets, but that's a completely different matter from liking you!"
Lin Yaqin didn't want to listen to any more of this woman's nonsense, because all she could think about was how that woman had hurt her son.
Nan Lichuan stopped his mother-in-law from taking action. He felt it was better for him to do this kind of work, since the Dark Domain was not to be trifled with.
“Mother, because you are the one who gave me life, I will not let you suffer too much. What you will get is life imprisonment and the confiscation of all your property.”
"You should be glad that Lin Xiao pleaded for you. Lin Xiao said he didn't want to embarrass everyone, so I let you go."
Nan's mother glanced at Lin Xiao, who remained silent, and couldn't help but smile bitterly as she plopped down in a chair. Yes, given the ruthlessness of her good son.
Not tearing him to pieces was already being lenient, considering his temperament was very much like hers.
"Brother, I'm so tired, can we finish this quickly?"
Lin Xiao urged his brother to hurry up and get rid of the people; he felt dizzy, and just seeing these people made him feel lightheaded…
Nan Lichuan tenderly ruffled Lin Xiao's hair, then turned and ordered someone to pull his mother out.
[Ding! The affection level for the romance character Nan Lichuan has increased by 100.]
The matter was finally over. Lin Xiao took a deep breath. He didn't know what dimension he would encounter next, and that was something he couldn't predict.
“Father, Mother-in-law, I love Lin Xiao. Whether you agree or not, I will be with Lin Xiao because he is already mine.”
His straightforward tone is typical of Nan Lichuan's style of doing things. He would never give up what he likes because of any relationship, and it has always been the same for him since he was a child.
The boy held the young man's shoulder tightly, as if afraid he would run away, keeping him firmly by his side, his eyes fixed on the two people in front of him.
Why did he do this? He knew he could have easily ignored their feelings and taken Lin Xiao abroad to get married. But the little one definitely wanted others to bless her marriage, especially her family.
That's why he agreed with Lin Xiao.
Nanshan did indeed waver on this point. He had previously disagreed with the relationship between his eldest and youngest sons, but with his eldest son's firm stance, even force would be futile.
Why not grant their wish? Even so, they're still family, aren't they?
"Oh, my children and grandchildren are all grown up now, they have their own blessings. Do as you please. As long as you promise me you'll take good care of the Nan family and Xiao Xiao, I have no objections."
Lin Xiao winked at her mother as if to say thank you. Without her mother's help, it might have taken her longer to handle the situation.
"Thank you, Dad. Even if we're together, my brother and I will still be your children. Don't be sad."
Lin Xiao shook her father's arm, still acting coquettishly towards him as she did when she was a child, but was pulled into the arms of the man next to her.
"You're not allowed to be all lovey-dovey in front of me, aren't you afraid I'll get jealous, hmm?"
Lin Xiao curled his lip and snorted. What a jealous person! He's even jealous of his own father. Luckily, no one else is here. Otherwise, a dignified CEO like him would be incredibly annoyed if people found out he was jealous of his father!
"I simply won't allow it, and neither will Father!"
Nanshan sighed and touched his nose. Had he become someone's jealousy again? Sigh, being a parent these days is really tough!
What do you think? Isn't that right?
Lin Yaqin smiled and took out the dishes from the kitchen for the housekeeper, urging the two of them to come and help. This surprised Lin Xiao, because how many people could actually get Young Master Nan to cook?
