Chapter 49. The incident involving the real and fake young masters went viral online...
The "real and fake young master" incident went viral online for a while.
So much so that now that it's being brought up again, many people are reminded of the cause and course of events at that time.
It's nothing more than the usual stuff about wealthy families.
But the mere mention of "wealthy family" makes them the focus of everyone's attention.
It seems everyone enjoys discussing matters within wealthy families to prove that the young masters and ladies born into privilege are not as happy as they are.
When memories are stirred.
Lin Zhao's identity has also been exposed again.
The identities that were originally hidden by the Lin and Fu families have once again been brought into the open.
'Nighttime': No, now people who take over other people's lives can be this arrogant? They've even reappeared under a different identity?
'Lemon Isn't Cute': Exactly! The Lin family didn't want to acknowledge the real young master before, but now that they have, are they starting to fawn over the fake one? Would anyone really dislike their real child and prefer a fake one?
'Muggle Muggle': Who says otherwise? Novels are based on reality. These people are ridiculous; they actually like a fake young master and don't like their own biological son. But thinking about it, they raised the fake young master for over twenty years, nurturing him into an excellent heir. It's true…
'Pearl is not real': But that's no excuse for not wanting to acknowledge your biological son. Aren't wealthy families too cold-blooded?
There's been a lot of discussion online.
By the time Lin Zhao found out, the situation had already soured.
Fu's public relations department completely suppressed some comments, but when netizens saw that the popularity of those comments had been suppressed, they started talking about it even more enthusiastically.
Some people have even started to speculate about conspiracy theories again.
Fu's PR team's online army did change the tide somewhat.
After all, whether or not Lin Zhao acknowledges Lin Xian is not something Lin Zhao can decide.
Moreover, Lin Zhao never said anything about not acknowledging Lin Xian.
After Lin Xian returned to the Lin family, Lin Zhao even helped him integrate into the second-generation elite circle.
Many people in the industry know about this.
Almost as soon as the matter came to light, Lin Zhao's friends in the industry started to speak out.
Netizens have moved on to one second-generation Weibo account after another.
Some people see that many people speak up for Lin Zhao and think that Lin Zhao must be a good person, which is why so many people like her.
But many more people think it's more of a conspiracy theory.
Lin Zhao, dressed in warm pajamas, lay in bed, looking at online comments on her phone.
The online discussion is intense, and it's impossible to tell who started the comments first.
However, Lin Zhao's paintings were boycotted.
Many people emailed the judging panel, asking them to remove Lin Zhao from the competition.
Some say Lin Zhao has character flaws.
The referee team sent a message to Lin Zhao.
To Lin Zhao's surprise, the judging panel did not disqualify her from the competition.
I just comforted him and told him to resolve the issue online.
After all, many artists have disputes, and Lin Zhao's dispute does not affect the originality of her painting. Therefore, there is no problem with Lin Zhao's painting being submitted to the competition.
"Most people online don't know the truth, so there's no need to pay attention to them."
Fu Yansheng naturally knew about what was happening online. He watched as Lin Zhao came downstairs with her phone, and Uncle Lai put the breakfast aside.
After Lin Zhao sat down, he put down his phone and said, "It's always the same few sentences. You don't even know how to use different words."
Hearing Lin Zhao's completely unaffected tone, Fu Yansheng shook his head helplessly.
"The Lin family contacted me, and I told them not to show their faces for the time being. As for Lin Xian, there's no need for him to say anything online."
After all, no matter what is said, netizens will only believe what they see, not what others say.
It's strange, though. Generally speaking, as long as the parties involved don't show up, things will cool down quickly. But in the following days, neither Lin Zhao nor Lin Xian showed up.
But this matter has only intensified online.
It even escalated.
As a result, the Lin and Fu families have received more negative reviews.
This matter dragged on until some clues about Lin Zhao's background emerged. Fu Yansheng found the old man from the hospital from back then and inquired about the matter, which led to some new information.
"The doctor said that there were many people who lost their children in the hospital back then, but he had a particularly deep memory of one father who lost his child. He was a foreigner. I showed him your picture, and the doctor said that his eye color was exactly the same as yours."
Fu Yansheng paused slightly at this point, his gaze falling on Lin Zhao's expectant face.
"But it's been a long time, and many clues can no longer be verified. What we do know for now is that you weren't deliberately abandoned."
Fu Yansheng said a lot, almost repeating everything the doctor had said.
Lin Zhao listened attentively. He heard that his parents were in pain and searched for him after learning that he was missing, but ultimately returned empty-handed.
Lin Zhao felt only heartache.
Twenty years have passed now.
The hospital's surveillance footage, and the fact that even though the police were called at the time, too much time had passed, and technology was not advanced at the time.
Lin Zhao's gaze darkened as he thought of this.
Seeing Fu Yansheng's concern, Lin Zhao smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, Brother Fu. I was prepared to be abandoned from the beginning. Now that I've heard that I'm not the one who's being abandoned, I'm actually relieved."
This demonstrates that I am not the burden others perceive me to be.
"Don't worry, I'll keep investigating. I'll let you know as soon as I find a clue. We'll find it eventually," Fu Yansheng said, looking into Lin Zhao's eyes.
His fingertips twitched, and after thinking for a moment, he reached out and hugged Lin Zhao in front of him.
He gently patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder.
Fu Yansheng closed his eyes slightly, the scent of Lin Zhao's post-bath fragrance filling his nostrils.
Lin Zhao now devotes almost all her attention to painting and her parents, which makes Fu Yansheng unhappy. For a moment, he really wanted Lin Zhao to just stay at the Fu family home and not have to do anything.
He can support Lin Zhao, he can support Lin Zhao for the rest of her life.
At the current rate, Fu Yansheng knew very well:
Zhao Zhao will find his parents, he will leave the Fu family, and he will return to his own home.
Then I will find someone I love and start my own little family.
At that time, he will just be an ordinary friend.
Lin Zhao will have closer family and lovers.
Can……
If even he chooses to give up, Lin Zhao will be disappointed when she learns that she can't find her parents.
Fu Yansheng rested his chin on Lin Zhao's shoulder, his heart filled with some conflict.
Perhaps because Lin Zhao noticed his difference, she reached out and gently patted Fu Yansheng's shoulder.
"Brother Fu, why do I feel like you're even more nervous than I am?"
Lin Zhao spoke as if in jest, trying to comfort Fu Yansheng.
But a single sentence revealed Fu Yansheng's true intentions.
"I'm going on a business trip in a few days, would you like to come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao thought for a moment. He had already submitted his paintings and had nothing else to do. As for the other competitions…
With the registration deadline still a while away, Lin Zhao wasn't flustered.
Going out to explore and gather inspiration is also a good idea.
Lin Zhao immediately agreed after thinking about it.
But before Lin Zhao could leave, Lin Xian approached her.
"I didn't spread the rumors online." Lin Xian's face was extremely ugly. For a long time now, the company's employees had been pointing fingers at him.
It's as if they believe that Lin Xian was the one who did this.
even……
Kong Ning also came to question Lin Xian.
Lin Zhao was a little curious as to why the person in front of her said that, but she still obediently nodded: "I know."
Lin Xian didn't target him too much, and now that he's back in the Lin family, there's no need for him to do something that harms others without benefiting himself.
"Although I do not like you, and the people around you have targeted me time and time again, I have no need to resort to such despicable means."
Lin Xian decided to lay all his cards on the table and get straight to the point.
Lin Zhao was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
The person in front of me continued: "Lin Zhao, you're so lucky. No matter what happens, someone always solves it for you. Even my parents have asked me several times if I did this. It's really funny, they're my own parents, but they care more about you."
"The Lin family has been going through some turmoil lately because of these things, and I believe you are aware of this in the company. There has been no shortage of gossip, and they are just worried that someone will find a handle against them, which is why they asked you."
Lin Zhao's voice was soft and gentle.
Lin Xian simply smiled and didn't say a word.
Such words might fool Lin Zhao, but he is not a flower like Lin Zhao who lives in a greenhouse.
He was well aware of the malice those people harbored towards him, and he was also well aware that in their eyes, his first twenty-odd years had been completely out of place...
Human nature is inherently evil; he doesn't believe that anything other than self-interest exists in the adult world.
When their own interests are threatened, everyone will subconsciously protect them.
The Lin family was not surprised.
Therefore, Lin Xian did not argue with Lin Zhao.
The message has been delivered; whether Lin Zhao believes it or not, he has already said it.
As for how to handle the situation afterward, that's a matter for the Lin family and Lin Zhao.
In everyone's eyes, he, the beneficiary, was probably the mastermind behind this whole affair.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Lin Xian still held onto some hope.
Hope for family and home.
But this hope will eventually be erased one by one.
Looking at Lin Zhao in front of him, Lin Xian could only sigh at his good fortune. Both of them were taken away, but one became the object of everyone's affection, while he was a rat living in the gutter, never able to see the light of day.
Even if I were to be exposed to the light, no one would like me.
They would not believe in themselves either.
This will probably be his final ending.
However, Lin Xian did not say it aloud.
On previous occasions, Lin Zhao always advised the Lin family on matters, and Lin Xian could more or less discern the Lin family's attitude.
Although things have improved, Lin Xian still feels like he's the one who's been abandoned.
"You..." Lin Zhao keenly sensed that something was wrong with the person in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the person in front of him had a pair of dark eyes.
His eyes were deep and captivating, as if they had drawn one's soul into them.
Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment.
Those eyes were devoid of any emotion, filled with coldness.
Lin Zhao took a deep breath: "I already have news about my biological parents. According to the old doctor at the hospital, my parents are not Chinese."
"Lin Xian, you should give others a chance and give yourself a chance too. Don't miss out on your destiny."
Lin Zhao spoke patiently.
He could tell that Lin Xian was dissatisfied with the current state of the Lin family and wanted to give up.
But since we just got home, we need to give everyone some time to adjust.
Lin Zhao feared that Lin Xian would eventually regret it.
"Lin Xian, first of all, you deserve it."
