Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 12: Successful Breakup
She moved her fingers slightly, and the water under the tablet began to churn again. Soon, a line of clear water characters appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

"Take the jade pendant that proves my identity back from my eldest brother and return it to my daughter?" The literate villager read out the words again, then looked at everyone in confusion: "What does this mean? What is a jade pendant that proves my identity?"

The old patriarch's expression was so dark that it couldn't be described as anything more. He tremblingly raised his cane and pointed it at Lin Laonian, "That child back then was really not yours?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers were in an uproar.

"What? Second Brother Lin isn't Uncle Lin's child? Is that true?"

"How would we know? We are younger than Second Brother Lin. We didn't even exist when he was born!"

"That's right!" The man scratched his head innocently. Just then, he saw Aunt Qiuju, the village's most gossipy woman, standing next to him. He quickly leaned over and asked with a flattering smile, "Aunt Qiuju, you're old, do you know what's going on?"

"You bastard, you're the oldest!" Aunt Qiuju slapped the man on the back of the head before saying with a sense of superiority, "As for what happened back then, I do know a little bit."

"Hurry up and tell me." Very quickly, many people gathered around Aunt Qiuju and listened to her talk about gossip from more than 30 years ago.

Things were not going well for Lin Laonian. He was first frightened by the words that were read out, and then questioned by the old patriarch. He almost lost his composure and his eyes became a little ferocious. Only he, his wife and the midwife knew about what happened back then, but the midwife died of an acute illness not long after. Now only the couple knew about it. How did Lin Laoer know about it?
Are there really ghosts in this world?
Looking at his wandering eyes, Lin Xin could probably guess what he was thinking. She smiled in her heart. Of course, no one knew about this, but she had read the original novel.

Five years later, when the grass on the graves of Lin Xin and her brother was very tall, a nobleman came from the capital looking for his relatives. When he saw Lin Lao Da's jade pendant, he recognized it as the one that belonged to his family. Lin Lao Da did not admit that he was the owner of the jade pendant, but said that the jade pendant was given to him by his younger brother Lin Lao Er when he was dying, hoping that he could help raise his son.

The nobleman asked again where the child was, and Boss Lin pointed to Lin Yang, who had passed the examination and said he was the child.

So, the nobleman not only took away his "grandson" Lin Yang, but also left a lot of money to Lin Lao Da's family. Lin Lao Da used the money to purchase a large amount of land and became a carefree landlord in the village.

When she saw this part of the plot, Lin Xin complained about the author's behavior of forcibly lowering the intelligence of the NPC. When she saw Boss Lin today, she suddenly remembered this plot, so she controlled the water to write those words.

"I'm asking you a question, Lin Laonian!" The old patriarch was so angry that he was shaking and even had to shout when he spoke.

"When, that child back then..."

"Of course that child is mine," Old Mrs. Lin suddenly shook off Old Man Lin's hand that was holding her arm like crazy, rushed directly to the tablet, and even wanted to grab it down.

Then, in full view of everyone, the tablet suddenly rose more than a foot, and the water below suddenly increased in size, soaking Old Mrs. Lin from head to toe.

"Ah~" Old lady Lin screamed, completely ignoring the water all over her body, and shouted hysterically: "You are so good, Lin Lao Er, how dare you treat your own mother like this, no wonder you died early, this is your retribution, retribution!" As soon as she finished speaking, the water splash changed shape again, this time it condensed into a huge slap, slapping towards Old Lady Lin's face.

With a crisp "bang", Old Mrs. Lin was hit directly. Her skinny body spun in place like a top. When she managed to stand, everyone saw that the left side of her face was red and swollen, and the corner of her mouth was broken. A thin line of blood slowly flowed down the wrinkles on her old face.

Seeing this scene, everyone fell silent.

Old man Lin was filled with fear. When the second son was alive, he was very filial to them. Even though his property was divided so unfairly, he would still send a lot of things to the old house during the New Year and other festivals, just so that he and his wife would give him a good face.

But what about now? The scars on Mrs. Lin's face were so obvious that he couldn't even try to lie to himself. Could it be that the second son had really returned as a ghost? So not only did he know about the jade pendant, but he also wanted to sever ties with him, eliminating any chance of him becoming rich and powerful in the future?
Thinking of this, Old Man Lin felt terrible. He admitted that he was scared. Can a human be better than a ghost?
"Boss!" He turned around and looked at Boss Lin, "Take out the jade pendant and give it to Xin."

"Dad!" Boss Lin was utterly shocked. Hadn't they agreed to keep this matter to themselves and pretend it never happened? Why did they change their minds so quickly?
"Take it out quickly!" Old Man Lin roared angrily.

Boss Lin had no choice but to use his uninjured hand to take off a jade pendant tied with a red rope from his neck. He held it in his hand for a long time before reluctantly letting Boss Lin give it to Yan Xin.

"So that child really isn't yours, Lin Laonian, you're really brave!" The old patriarch was furious. He supported the hands of the younger generation behind him and stood up. He flicked his sleeves and said sternly to Old Man Lin, "I won't expel your family from the clan, but from now on, my Lin family will no longer be involved in any affairs of your branch, Lin Laonian. You'll have to take care of yourself in the future!"

After saying this, he walked over to Lin Xin and Lin Nan and asked with a guilty look on his face, "Your father hoped that you would sever your ties with Lin Laonian's family, but now that we know you and your siblings have no connection to them, are you still going to sever your ties?"

Lin Xin looked at the still confused Lin Nan in her arms, nodded, and said, "Break it off! My father wants Nan Nan and I to completely sever ties with that family. After all, it's true that my father grew up in the Lin family. In the eyes of the world, we are a family. If we don't break it off now, I'm afraid we'll be involved in the future."

The old patriarch was silent for a long while before nodding: "Since this is your decision, I will make the decision for you this time."

"Thank you, Grandpa, the clan leader, for your help." Lin Xin pulled Lin Nan and kowtowed to him properly.

Next, in front of most of the villagers, witnessed by the old patriarch and several elders, Lin Laonian'er's family formally signed and sealed the severance agreement. From then on, Lin Xin and her brother had no relationship with their family anymore. No matter how the two families lived in the future, they were not allowed to have anything to do with each other.

Lin Xin solemnly folded the letter of severance and placed it in her arms, but in reality, she had smuggled it into the space. Then, she fished out the purse the old doctor had given her and handed it to the old clan leader. "Grandpa Clan Leader, this is the silver I had left from selling ginseng. Today, in front of everyone, I'm giving it to the old Lin family as a reward for raising my father since he was a child."

"You..." The old patriarch sighed and took the purse, "Okay, I'll hand this money over to the Lin family for you. From now on, you two will have nothing to do with each other. Keep this jade pendant, it's related to your father's identity."

Lin Xin's eyes flashed, and after thanking her, she took the jade pendant that, in the original novel, made Boss Lin's family prosperous.
