Chapter 106 How about another gamble?
"Well, Mr. Chi said that we should wait until Xiaoye recovers from his injury before discussing it and see what you two think. After all, marriage is not a joke. If we rashly announce the cancellation of the engagement, it will have an impact on both families."
A wrinkle appeared between Lin Chengyan's brows, and he raised his chin towards the ward door.
"Let's talk outside."
"good."
Chi Fan nodded obediently, turned around and tucked the corner of Lin Xingye's quilt, and said softly, "Be good, wait for me to come back and watch a movie with you."
…
"No need."
Lin Xingye subconsciously wanted to retort, but when he saw Lao Lin's gloomy face, he quickly withdrew his curse words.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, I could actually see some traces of fatherly love and filial piety in their relationship.
accurate.
Still going out and talking about it?
They have a little secret! ?

In the hospital corridor, Lin Chengyan leaned against the windowsill, lit a cigarette, and stared at Chi Fan for a long time before slowly speaking: "What do you think about the broken engagement?"
Chi Fan hid the disappointment in his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, and answered seriously: "Uncle Lin, I have no objection."
"This matter was originally the Chi family's fault, but Xingxing has suffered an unprovoked disaster. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Can you defeat him?"
Lin Chengyan exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes full of mystery.
"Even if I can't win, I have to fight. I owe him."
Chi Fan turned around, looked at the people inside through the glass of the ward, and smiled with relief.
"Besides, if we don't fight, how do we know if we can win?"
"You can fight, but don't be too aggressive. Chi Mingjun has been recuperating in Country K for so long. Not to mention the foreign forces, it's unknown how many shareholders he has bribed in the company and how many secret agents he has arranged."
"After all, you haven't been involved in the company's business. If you break off the engagement, you won't be placed in the position of heir. He won't take action against you for the time being. You can secretly develop some power, bide your time, and make plans when the time is right."
Lin Chengyan really liked this young man. Even if he decided to cancel the engagement, he would still help him analyze the situation from the perspective of an elder.
"Thank you Uncle Lin for your guidance, but that's not what I planned."
Chi Fan thanked him respectfully, but his deep peach blossom eyes flashed with a dark light of determination.
"What do you think?"
"Only those who are not upright and whose words are not in accordance with the truth need to make secret plans and use despicable means. Since I am upright and my words are in accordance with the truth, I will act with great fanfare."
"From ancient times to the present, struggles have always been about momentum. If you're weak in terms of momentum, even if you really fight, what are your chances of winning?"
"Even if the engagement is cancelled, I will definitely be the heir."
"Besides... for the sake of the stars, I don't want to delay it too long..."
It was the first time that Chi Fan revealed his feelings in front of his elders, and he was unusually shy.
He didn't want to cancel the engagement, but he was afraid that those crazy people in the Chi family would target his wife.
A group of vicious dogs were watching him with eager eyes. Even though he had the Lin family's support and even though he had arranged a bunch of people to help protect him, he still couldn't feel at ease.
After finishing one cigarette, Lin Chengyan lit another one. Looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, a trace of emotion flashed through his heart.
"How much are you sincere about Xiaoye?"
"very."
Chi Fan answered without hesitation, his eyes revealing his true feelings.
Ten percent, one hundred percent, one thousand percent, ten thousand percent.
The full score is determined by how sincere he is.
Lin Chengyan raised his eyes and glanced at the brat who was so careless that he was still looking up at the movie on the hospital bed. A complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Even though he's grown up, he's still so rebellious. He ignores the family business and only cares about driving.
His ancestors never pulled carts for others.
He is ignorant of the ways of the world and doesn't use his brain when encountering problems. He might end up being eaten by others in the future while still helping them count money.
A sentence suddenly popped up in my mind: There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.
With his old bones, I don’t know how long he can carry the burden for this heartless person.
How about another gamble?
After being an investor for so many years, this battle is actually the most difficult one to fight.
Lin Chengyan withdrew his gaze and looked at Chi Fan again.
"What are your thoughts on the current situation?"
"I've never had much interest in the family business, and I've always been single, with no romantic partners. I don't pose any threat to him, so my second uncle never took action against me."
"Although he didn't do it, he kept asking Chi Jingyu to stop me from investigating the truth behind my parents' car accident."
When Lin Chengyan thought of his old friend from more than 20 years ago, a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
"Have you found any clues?"
"I've got some clues. Back then, my second uncle's nanny took the money and went to Country Y. I sent someone to find her address, but I found my second uncle's people near the nanny's house, so I didn't dare to act rashly."
"Alright. It's right not to take action. If Chi Mingjun discovers your intentions, he'll probably kill you first."
Lin Chengyan flicked the ash off his cigarette, hesitated for a moment, and continued speaking.
"However...even if you found clues about what happened back then, I'm afraid Mr. Chi wouldn't kill him completely. After all, we're blood, and Chi Mingzhun is now his only son."
"I know Grandpa was reluctant to kill my second uncle, otherwise he wouldn't have just broken his legs and sent him abroad. However, I can't bear the thought of my parents dying while the evildoer remains at large."
"Even if Grandpa doesn't want me to fight my Second Uncle, I can't do what he wants. What's more, he not only wants to attack me, but also dares to attack Xingxing."
Chi Fan twisted his fingers vigorously twice, a rare sinister look appeared in his peach blossom eyes, and his tone became much colder.
"So, how are you going to fight?"
"Although Grandpa didn't want to see infighting within the family, he was also worried that Second Uncle was too ambitious and would harm me after returning home, so he secretly made a lot of plans for me."
"I announced my engagement so suddenly that he wouldn't have time to react and I would be pushed into the position of heir quickly."
"Second Uncle's hasty return shows he doesn't have the strength to confront Grandpa directly yet. After all, although Grandpa is old, he's still strong and has absolute say in both the company and the family."
"Since he doesn't have that ability yet, I will return to the company openly and become the heir."
"But... the only hard part is that I might still need to get engaged to someone else. I just don't know if Xingxing will still want me after this is over..."
"You've laid all this groundwork for me, right?"
Lin Chengyan narrowed his fox eyes slightly and revealed his little thoughts in one sentence.
"Hehe...yes." Chi Fan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
"Uncle Lin, I just want to tell you how I feel about Xingxing. I can't bear to let him take risks with me, so I have to cancel the engagement. But I'm also afraid that if I cancel the engagement, you'll immediately arrange another marriage for him."
Lin Chengyan casually put out the cigarette butt, stared at Chi Fan's overly serious expression, and finally made a decision.
"One year."
"I'll give you one year. The Lin family won't marry into any other family within that year. However, if Xiaoye falls in love with someone else during this period, there's nothing we can do."
