C174 The Mystery of Life
"And in the end, it did indeed startle the entire Shen City, but it had turned him into the joke of the entire Shen City. His title of good-for-nothing son-in-law probably started from that wedding as well …"
"Not only is this brat able to endure hibernation impressive, but he also has a tenacity that makes me sigh in admiration." I even thought, for the sake of the quota this time, he might even make a big move that would cause the entire Shen City to tremble! "
The old tutor spoke with a tone full of profoundness.
Lin Cai was still doubtful, "Master, three years ago, he made the biggest joke in Dihao Crystal Palace. Now he …"
The old man's expression froze for a moment before he started laughing loudly, "This is one of the reasons why I gave him the spot without hesitation. No matter what he did at Dihao Crystal Palace for this month's 20th, for the vast majority of people, after experiencing the kind of joke from three years ago, Dihao Crystal Palace have long been a nightmare, and they wish they could never mention of it again, before leaving this land of nightmares. "
"But he's different. He actually wants to obtain this position. What does that mean? Him? Perhaps he is the ice mountain on the vast ocean surface, and what all of us have seen is very possibly just the tip of the iceberg. "
"For various reasons, I have developed a strong interest in a person who can endure and hibernate for so many years, even if he isn't …" Abandoned infant from Lin Family, my eldest grandson … "
Every time he mentioned the abandoned baby from Lin Family, the old man's grandson would feel a faint pain in his heart. Back then, it was indeed a sin, and with Lin Family as an illustrious family, how could they easily believe the lies of the martial artists and abandon their eldest grandson?
For twenty years, the old tutor had suffered tortures of conscience and soul all the time.
If Lin Xuan was really the abandoned baby from Lin Family, and his eldest grandson, then, no matter what price he had to pay, he would make up for it.
Even though the sin he committed back then wasn't caused by him, it was from his brother, Lin Yuan, who was also the vice chairman of the Lin Family International Bank.
He and Lin Yuan were blood brothers. Lin Yuan was his younger brother, but he was ambitious. Lin Yuan had always kept it in his heart as he coveted the old man to be the chairman of the Lin Family International Bank.
In order to avoid encountering Lin Yuan, Lin Li had left the imperial city a long time ago and chose this new city — — Shen City.
Whether it was the business philosophy or the mind pattern, it was impossible for Lin Li to reach the same point as Lin Yuan.
The old man also had another worry in his heart. If Lin Xuan was really his eldest grandson, then the conflict between him and Lin Yu would definitely not be like his generation, where they would be like fire and water.
Perhaps it was due to this reason that Lin Yuan placed special importance on Lin Yu. He had even given his all to nurture Lin Yu and nurture him.
The old man would feel a lingering fear if he thought about it. Maybe twenty years ago, the abandoned infant in Lin Family was caused by Lin Yuan's selfishness.
Thousands of years of history to this day, the Lin Family has a tradition similar to that of the royal family, where the bloodline was orthodox and the eldest son of the direct line of descent could be considered as the crown prince.
Therefore, when the eldest son of the Lin Family was born, there was a warlock — a monk named You Faang — who went to the Lin Family to change fate. He said that the eldest grandson would bring a calamity down upon Lin Family, and only a newborn male child could become the successor.
And so, under this kind of bewitchment, the eldest grandson of the Lin Family became an abandoned baby.
Luckily, under the Lin Family Sect, she was pregnant in October, and the next year, she gave birth to a male baby, which was Lin Yu.
Lin Yu's birth, seemed to be in accordance to the words of Monk You Faang, his cultivation direction, was precisely Lin Family International Bank's future Sect Master.
Even after so many years had passed, Old Master Lin Li had already forgotten about the matter of Lin Family abandoning a baby.
Until a few days ago, that morning, at the foot of the southern mountain, he met Lin Xuan.
This person who had already become a "celebrity" in the entire Shen City — the son-in-law of the trash in everyone's eyes.
Old Master Lin Li felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, as if he saw the tragic scene of him abandoning his son 20 years ago.
A young child that was born in the prime of his life and was ignorant of everything in the world had been thrown into the wilderness, carrying with him the fate of having his clan perish …
"Master, Liu Tie already knows about this. I estimate that Second Old Master will also know soon." Lin Cai continued to speak the concerns in his heart.
The old man nodded, "That's right, it doesn't matter. Since Lin Yuan is in the imperial city, he probably won't interfere in the matter of Shen City for the time being. "Cai, you should send someone who can be trusted to secretly monitor Yu. If he acts against Lin Xuan, you must immediately report to me."
"Alright, old master. I'll do it right away!"
Lin Cai left the living room.
The old man secretly took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "This is sinful, I hope that Lin Xuan isn't an abandoned baby from Lin Family, but why … What did I expect from him? Lin Xuan, the only things that I can help you with are limited financial resources and connections. Whether you can make a comeback or not will depend on your luck. "

Xiaoxiang Elegant Housing Estate.
It was night. A tranquil and peaceful night. Qin Shishi's villa. Within a room.
Qin Shishi lay on her bed, tossing and turning. She had not fallen asleep yet, but her mind was still whirling with thoughts of Lin Xuan's recent actions. The doubts in her mind suddenly grew, and she became more and more clear-headed.
She turned her body to the side and faced the bunk on the floor. Lin Xuan always seemed to be sleeping in the same position, lying flat with his hands behind his head. Sometimes, he would put one foot on the knee of his other foot that was curled up.
"You … Are you asleep? "
In the dim and gentle light, it was impossible to tell if he was asleep or not. Qin Shishi hesitated a few times, wanting to speak, but stopped herself. Her red lips moved slightly as she finally asked in a soft voice.
"No, it's still brewing. You haven't fallen asleep yet, how would I dare to sleep first?"
Lin Xuan's words were filled with love, as if he was saying that if Qin Shishi didn't sleep that night, he wouldn't sleep on his own.
In fact, Qin Shishi's question was superfluous.
Three years, which night wasn't Lin Xuan protecting her? He would only fall asleep after she had safely fallen asleep.
No matter how she breathed, how her rhythm, every time she fell asleep, she would kick the blanket, and Lin Xuan knew it like the back of his hand.
Many times, he had wanted to cover Qin Shishi with a blanket, but in the end, he had resisted.
However, as the weather gradually turned colder, he would tiptoe around and carefully cover Qin Shishi if she kicked the blanket away.
Every time he looked at the beautiful Qin Shishi who was sleeping soundly, her proud and enchanting figure would make Lin Xuan's heart race. He would always take a deep breath, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile as he shook his head.
