Chapter 55. Time for bed, see you tomorrow.
Lin Zhao's father had many brothers.
But Lin Zhao went straight to the Raphael family's estate after getting off the plane.
As soon as Lin Zhao got out of the car, he saw a large group of people standing at the gate of the manor, eagerly waiting. Almost all the elders and siblings had arrived at the manor, and even the elders of the Nan family had all arrived.
Lin Zhao subconsciously looked at Nan Qiaoyue, who had been following him.
All he could see was Nan Qiaoyue's gaze fixed on him, unmoving, her eyes gentle with a hint of encouragement.
"Zhaozhao!"
The moment they saw Lin Zhao, everyone waved to her, their voices full of kindness and visibly tender.
The woman at the head of the group was an elderly woman with a cane. She looked Lin Zhao up and down with teary eyes, as if she were watching her own junior suffer outside.
"You're too thin. It's okay, you'll be fine once you're home."
The old lady spoke softly in broken Mandarin.
Fearing that Lin Zhao might not understand them, everyone started a series of conversations in Mandarin.
I remember it all the time.
Lin Zhao noticed their subtle details and relaxed a bit when talking to his peers.
There was an indescribable ease in his every gesture.
Lin Zhao has something to say about both art and finance.
Even Lin Zhao's insights into the financial sector are more remarkable than those of others.
It's a direction that no one else has ever thought of.
Some of the brothers and sisters, after hearing Lin Zhao's insights, also began to seriously consider the feasibility of what Lin Zhao had said.
They discovered that although Lin Zhao had no experience in the financial industry.
In finance, however, Lin Zhao had unique insights, approaching things from angles that others wouldn't consider.
These unique insights were quite eye-opening for them.
The elders noticed that Lin Zhao got along well with the younger generation.
They were also very happy and suggested holding a party for Lin Zhao. Nan Qiaoyue sighed and then waved her hand: "Zhao Zhao is going back to China in a few days, and I'm afraid we won't be able to arrange the time."
The elders were taken aback when they heard this.
In their view, since Lin Zhao has already returned, she should stay at home. It's dangerous outside, and Lin Zhao has been away for so long. Now that she's home, she should enjoy the comforts of home.
"Zhao Zhao, you probably have someone you like, right? It's okay, I'll accompany you back to China when the time comes," Nan Qiaoyue said with a soft laugh.
But the elder who heard this only felt a headache coming on: "What about the group?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Qiaoyue turned to look at her husband beside her.
His eyes were full of laughter, but there was a slight chill on the man's back.
Something doesn't feel right.
"Aunt Nan, Xiao Bao and I have made a promise. I'll go to China with him in a few days!"
Before they could even finish their discussion, a voice interrupted everyone's plans.
Lin Zhao turned his gaze to the man who claimed to be his third cousin; the blond hair made the man in front of him appear exceptionally gentle.
The third cousin waved to Nan Qiaoyue.
Upon hearing this, the elders couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that Qiao Yue doesn't need to come along."
Nan Qiaoyue's expression was strangely unpleasant.
The teasing smiles on the faces of the elders around her made Nan Qiaoyue sigh.
Never mind, they're just kids.
I just wanted to go back and rest for a while because I hadn't been back for a long time.
Unexpectedly, before he could even leave, his plans were thwarted.
These kids aren't nearly as well-behaved as my own little one.
Nan Qiaoyue sighed.
Lin Zhao has been exceptionally busy these past few days, busy with ancestor worship, busy getting to know company members, and busy attending gatherings of elders.
There are also gatherings among siblings.
They were all well-known figures in the industry. Lin Zhao was just brought along to get acquainted with them. At least in the future, no one would be so blind as to bully Lin Zhao.
In just two days, Lin Zhao went from being completely unknown to becoming a well-known young master favored by both Raphael and the Nan family.
It is a treasure, and a bottom line that no one can cross.
Some people even know that the Nan Group has undergone a change of shareholders, and Lin Zhao's name is among them.
Even the name Lin Zhao from the Raphael family business was changed on the website at some point.
Everything happened so quietly.
From someone unknown to international circles, Lin Zhao's assets have transformed into something that, even if she does nothing for a year and spends tens of millions every day, will not change and may even increase.
But Lin Zhao was unaware of all this.
However, Lin Zhao's original plan to return to China in a few days was repeatedly delayed.
The elders of the Nan family doted on the youngest, Lin Zhao, but even so, they were puzzled by her desire to return to China as soon as possible.
After all, this is Lin Zhao's home.
If it's because of Lin Zhao's adoptive parents, they have already sent the most generous gifts.
Besides, these are things that the Nan family and the Raphael family should do.
Lin Zhao shouldn't be the one to worry.
Lin Zhao's disappearance was indeed an accident back then. Over the years, they have visited many welfare homes across the country.
But they couldn't find Lin Zhao.
Fortunately, Lin Zhao eventually returned.
Everyone felt joy and hoped that this child, who had grown up away from home, could stay by their side forever.
But children also have their own worries.
Everyone sighed.
Lin Zhao had just returned to the Nan family home after attending a party. The room had been carefully prepared by Nan Qiaoyue. Lin Zhao held his phone, pondering what time it should be in China.
After confirming that she wouldn't disturb Fu Yansheng, Lin Zhao began composing a text message.
I briefly told Fu Yansheng about what had happened recently, and mentioned that I probably wouldn't be able to go back for a few more days.
When Lin Zhao was about to send it, she involuntarily froze.
The sky was dark in the distance. Lin Zhao leaned against the railing, looking into the distance.
After everything was finished, Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel lonely, and suddenly thought of Fu Yansheng.
If Fu Yansheng were next to him, even if the two were just sitting quietly, Lin Zhao wouldn't be acting like this.
Lin Zhao eventually sent out the message.
There was no reply from the other end for a long time.
Lin Zhao took a deep breath, switched the chat window on his phone to the chat window with Lu Zhou, and asked Lu Zhou if anything had happened in China recently.
But the replies I received were all the same: everything is fine.
However, many people know Lin Zhao's true background.
Those who were previously on good terms with Lin Zhao would even ridicule Lin Xian because of this.
They initially thought he was a fake young master who had accidentally taken over the real young master's identity, but it turned out he was the real phoenix in a golden nest.
Compared to the Raphael family, the Lin family is nothing.
The Lin family didn't say anything, but they now have more options when it comes to company matters.
Many people extended olive branches to the Lin family.
It should be noted that with the support of the Nan family and the Raphael family, the Lin family will likely only rise higher from now on.
Behind them is the Fu Group.
Lin Zhao and Lu Zhou made a video call, and Ji Xing kept trying to hang up on Lin Zhao's call.
After Lu Zhou glared at Ji Xing twice, Ji Xing awkwardly shut his mouth.
They stopped what they were doing and dared not say anything.
Lin Zhao found it amusing and knew she wasn't suited to be a third wheel, so she simply finished speaking and hung up the phone early to avoid disturbing the two of them.
Even after the call ended, Fu Yansheng hadn't sent him a message.
This is the first time such a situation has occurred.
Fu Yansheng has not replied to my message for so long.
Lin Zhao wanted to tell herself that Fu Yansheng had his own life and his own things to do.
It's impossible for them to be by your side every moment and reply to your messages immediately.
Never mind, never mind.
The weather was cooler abroad, so Lin Zhao wore a coat, but the wind still managed to get in through the gaps, causing a slight stinging sensation.
Just as Lin Zhao was about to go into her room to rest, she heard someone knocking softly on the door, as if afraid of disturbing her.
When Lin Zhao opened the door, he saw his mother standing outside. Perhaps because she had just come from a party, Nan Qiaoyue's expression was hard, but when she looked at Lin Zhao, her gaze was gentle.
"Zhaozhao, Fu Yansheng is here."
As Lin Zhao went downstairs, her mind kept replaying her mother's words.
Fu Yansheng originally wanted to give Lin Zhao time to spend with her family, but as the days went by, Lin Zhao still did not return.
Fu Yansheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Hurry up and finish dealing with things at home.
I took the nearest flight to the country where Lin Zhao lives.
Just when she thought Fu Yansheng was too busy to reply, he was already on his way.
I'm afraid Fu Yansheng didn't sleep well on the plane either.
After all, Fu Yansheng has a lot to do and very little free time.
As soon as Lin Zhao came downstairs, she paused slightly upon seeing Fu Yansheng for the first time. Then, her eyes lit up with surprise, and she quickly ran towards Fu Yansheng.
Why are you here?
Lin Zhao stood in front of Fu Yansheng and spoke with a questioning tone.
"Is there any work available here?" Lin Zhao had assumed that Fu Yansheng had come because there was some work available.
The aunt understood that Fu Yansheng was hesitant to speak and wanted to leave.
But before the aunt could leave...
Fu Yansheng said directly, "I don't have any work to do. I just wanted to come and see you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao was instantly stunned.
I don't quite understand what the person in front of me is saying.
Her ears turned slightly red, and she didn't know what to say.
Lin Zhao took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
Then, hesitatingly, he looked at the person in front of him: "Brother Fu...I..."
“If you want to stay here, I will move the Fu Group’s main projects here within a year, Zhao Zhao, I want you to know my feelings.”
Fu Yansheng lowered his eyes, took Lin Zhao's hand, and spoke softly, his eyebrows slightly lowered, but his tone was firm.
Lin Zhao didn't expect Fu Yansheng to say it so directly.
It happened on their very first meeting.
Fu Yansheng said it so brazenly.
Lin Zhao's eyes, which had been fixed on Fu Yansheng, suddenly widened in surprise.
Her eyelashes trembled, and her mind went completely blank.
The wind was blowing very loudly outside, probably because one window was missing. Lin Zhao felt the wind was getting stronger and stronger.
This made my already chaotic mind even more unsettled.
A sentiment?
What's the sentiment behind this?
Is that what he thinks?
Lin Zhao's mind was filled with countless bullet comments, which she couldn't stop sending.
Wait.
Could it be that Brother Fu likes him?
Lin Zhao felt like her ears were about to explode when she thought about this place.
If Lin Zhao stayed here for even a second longer, she felt she wanted to tell the person in front of her all her thoughts at once.
But no.
These words are completely nonsensical.
Lin Zhao would not say it under these circumstances.
Fu Yansheng knew that Lin Zhao's mind was in turmoil, and he also knew that now was not the right time to talk about this matter.
There was nothing there.
At least I'm not prepared for anything right now, so it's not the right time to tell Lin Zhao that I like him.
Fu Yansheng took a deep breath.
He reached out, his restrained gesture revealing a touch of tenderness.
"It's okay, go to sleep first, see you tomorrow."

Author's Note: These past few days I've been dragged out by my family, and coupled with the fact that I haven't been in the best state of mind since the beginning of this book, honestly, it's been even more tiring than updating 8,000 words a day for my last book. The character development is something I didn't handle well; I might revise the whole thing after it's finished. We'll see then! The current progress is almost at the confession stage; after that, the story will basically be over!
I hope everything goes smoothly with the upcoming updates!
Goodnight, see you tomorrow! [heart]
