Chapter 22 Lin Shu Discovers His Father Has a Third Child
Lin Shu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone sounded unpleasant.
"Boss Gu, I have something else to do tonight, so I won't go."
Gu Fujing invited Lin Shu sincerely. He had an inexplicable liking for her the first time he saw her.
"Okay, I'm sorry for being abrupt. Miss Lin can come to work anytime."
Lin Shu said hello to An Yu and left indifferently.
She returned to Jiang Shang's place at noon. When she got home, Yuan Yuan came out to greet her in person.
"Ms. Jiang is back. Mr. Jiang was worried about you when you were away for the past two days. He asked about it several times."
Yuan Yuan was wearing a well-tailored haute couture dress, with her hair tied up behind her head. She had a small, oval face, a round and smooth figure, and was the kind of girl that a middle-aged man would fall in love with at first sight.
"You know my dad well?"
Lin Shu's words were full of hidden meanings, and Yuan Yuan's expression contained a hint of panic, but it quickly disappeared.
"Besides being your housekeeper, I am also Mr. Jiang's secretary."
Yuan Yuan replied calmly. When Yu Yu came out, Lin Shu took off his coat and handed it to Yu Yu without even looking at Yuan Yuan again.
In Yuan Yuan's eyes, this was the look of an arrogant young lady. Yuan Yuan thought to herself, "What a fool!" and followed without taking it seriously.
During lunch time, Jiang Shang came back for the first time. The kitchen prepared a lot of dishes and filled the table.
Lin Shu went downstairs and looked at the expensive ingredients at the dining table. She didn't eat bird's nest or seafood because she was allergic to them.
She remembered that Jiang Shang was also not used to these. Lin Shu's lips curled slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed through his heart.
Needless to say, these are definitely prepared for Yuan Yuan.
Jiang Shang entered the hall, and Lin Shu calmly sat down at the dining table. Yuan Yuan hurried to greet him, as if she was used to it.
She took the briefcase from his hand, helped him take off his coat and put it over his arm, her movements smooth and seamless.
"Lin Shu." Jiang Shang was in a good mood and rarely took the initiative to greet his daughter.
Lin Shu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and prepared to eat.
"Yuan Yuan, come here."
Jiang Shang called them by their full names, and Lin Shu couldn't help but look up at them.
"This is the new Aunt Yuan. She's in charge of your daily life at home. If you need anything, just tell Aunt Yuan directly."
Lin Shu secretly sneered in his heart, Aunt Yuan?
Oh--
He was really impatient to enter the house.
Jiang Shang asked Yuan Yuan to sit opposite Lin Shu and dine with them.
Lin Shu waited until Yuan Yuan had picked up her chopsticks before he said casually, "Butler Yuan, you're new here so you might not know the rules."
Lin Shu glanced at Jiang Shang with a sharp look in his eyes. "In the Lin family, servants are not allowed to eat with their masters. You have your work meals and designated dining places. Didn't Uncle Huang tell you that?"
The words were meant for Yuan Yuan, but the one who was hit was Jiang Shang's face.
Sure enough, Jiang Shang's face changed instantly. Not only did Lin Shu use the word "servant" to describe Yuan Yuan, but also, Lin Shu was talking about the "Lin family".
Jiang Shang is the son-in-law of the Lin family. After Lin Yuerong and Old Man Lin left, he has always wanted to get rid of this identity. Now the company recognizes him as Jiang Shang.
He was finally on the verge of success, but as soon as Lin Shu came back, he became the gigolo and gigolo son-in-law he used to be.
Yuan Yuan had been with Jiang Shang for so many years and was very good at observing people's expressions and assessing the situation. She immediately stood up and lowered her head with an apologetic look on her face.
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang. I'm new here and don't know the rules. I'll teach you."
She looked at Jiang Shang and said, "Mr. Jiang asked me to take care of Miss Jiang. From now on, whatever Miss Jiang says is what I will do."
This time, Lin Shudao had a new respect for Yuan Yuan, thinking that she would let Jiang Shang stand up for her, but in the end she ended up falling into disgrace.
No wonder Jiang Shang kept her by his side. For a man like Jiang Shang who came from a poor family and relied on his wife to make a fortune, others respected him above all else.
Yuan Yuan did it, burying herself in the soil to uphold Jiang Shang's pitiful self-esteem.
He enjoyed Yuan Yuan's admiration and praise for him. Every man who lacks self-confidence hates being looked down upon the most.
Lin Shu admired Yuan Yuan's abilities and had no intention of letting her go.
No wonder my mother, a lady from a noble family, couldn't beat Yuan Yuan. Her "tea art" was textbook-level.
"I'm an adult, not a three-year-old child. I don't need anyone to take care of me. Besides, I already have a personal secretary on call 24 hours a day. Dad, I don't need this Butler Yuan. You can keep him for yourself."
Lin Shu stood up, not intending to give Jiang Shang any chance to keep Yuan Yuan.
Before leaving the table, she looked at Yuan Yuan sharply and said, "My last name is Lin, not Jiang. Please call me "Miss Lin" when you see me in the future.
Jiang Shang almost couldn't breathe, especially when Lin Shu asked Yuan Yuan to call her "Miss Lin" and even rubbed his face on the ground.
If Jiang Shang hadn't yet acquired the ability to completely sever all ties with the Lin family, he would have driven Lin Shu out of here long ago. How could he allow a married woman to return to his house and show off?
Yuan Yuan walked up to him at the right time, reached out and gently stroked Jiang Shang's back, without avoiding suspicion at all, and said softly: "Forget it, she is still just a child, slowly guide her, she will accept me."
After hearing Yuan Yuan's soft words of persuasion, Jiang Shang calmed down a lot.
He gently stroked the back of her hand, as if he had made up his mind: "Don't worry, you have followed me for so many years and suffered so much injustice. No matter what, I will give you and your daughter a legitimate status and will never let you see the light of day again."
In the afternoon, An Yu didn't see Lin Shu report to the company, so she quickly called him.
Lin Shu sat in his study, submitting his resume again, and was in a lack of interest when he answered An Yu's call.
"W-why? You don't want to come—"
An Yu almost screamed.
"Lin Shu, don't be like this. Although our company in Haicheng is not as successful as your Lin family was back then, it is still ranked in the top ten.
You know the future of technology companies today. You absolutely cannot go anywhere else. Otherwise, I can foresee that Mr. Gu won't be able to achieve anything in the business world for the next ten years."
Lin Shu didn't know how to explain to An Yu. She didn't want to see anyone related to Zhou Yanli.
Although Gu Fujing, Zhou Yanli and their group didn't know Lin Shu, they all stood on Wen Xin's side.
She knew all this, and she didn't want to leave the Zhou family and go to Zhou Yanli's friend's company.
That's ridiculous.
An Yu didn't understand, but she just didn't want to let Lin Shu go.
"Whatever the reason is, you're not interested in our company. At least give me a chance to make amends. Let's meet at K-bar tonight. If you still don't want to come after we finish chatting, I won't force you. Just say it like that. I have to go to work first."
Before Lin Shu could say anything else, An Yu hung up the phone.
K, right?
It sounds familiar. Isn't it the place where Gu Fujing and Zhou Yanli had an appointment?
Forget it, she was going to keep a date with An Yu, so it wouldn’t be a big deal even if they met then.
