Peerless Young Master

Lin family, meeting room.

"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. If it weren't for your poor management, the restaurant wouldn't be doing so poorly and on the verge of bankruptcy. This is the legacy left by our ancestors.

It is only natural to dethrone your father from his position as the head of the family. To prevent the family foundation from being destroyed by us, you must marry into the Wang family so that they will show mercy and spare the Lin family."

On the armchair, an old man sat upright, wearing a brocade robe with dark patterns. He had white hair but looked energetic and imposing.

This person is the oldest person in the Lin family and the leader of the branch. He is respectfully called the Great Uncle.

Standing next to him was a young man in brocade clothes.

It was his grandson, Lin Haitao.

"Impossible, I'm already married and there's no way I'll get married again." Lin Ruolin's attitude was very tough, it was absolutely impossible.

"Cousin, why are you doing this?"

At this time, Lin Haitao spoke, pretending to be concerned: "Everyone knows that your marriage with Li Xuan is just a show. You don't like him at all, so why waste your time on a useless person?

The Wang family is a wealthy family in the city, and we small families cannot compare with them.

You will enjoy a happy life if you marry into the Wang family. I don’t know how many women want to marry into the Wang family but cannot.”

"You go if you want to go, I will never go"

Lin Ruolin's words were like icy blades. She stood upright, her eyes flashing with unquestionable determination.

Hearing this, Lin Haitao's eyes darkened and his expression became cold:

“In front of the Wang family, the Lin family is just an ant.

If you can bear to see the restaurant go bankrupt and the ancestral business destroyed by your father, you can just choose not to marry.

I’m afraid that after your father dies, he won’t have the face to face our ancestors, and everyone in the Lin family will despise him when they mention him in the future.

Do you want to see your father end up like this, so that you can be happy?"

Faced with Lin Haitao's heart-wrenching threat, Lin Ruolin could no longer maintain her previous fortitude.

She knew that the restaurant was her father's life's work and the pride of the Lin family.

If we go bankrupt, I can’t imagine what the consequences will be.

She bit her lips, clenched her fists, her eyes flickered, and her fists sometimes unclenched and sometimes unclenched, extremely unwilling.

"Ruolin, it's not that Great Uncle is unreasonable, but you also know the current situation of our family. It is precarious and we will be doomed if we are not careful.

For the sake of the family's century-old foundation, Great Uncle had no choice.

As the eldest daughter of the family, you should share the family's worries."

Lin Ruolin closed her eyes, not wanting to see the two people in front of her.

If they hadn't taken advantage of the situation to rob the Lin family, how could they have been in a life-or-death situation so quickly?

In the face of such a disaster, not only are they not united, but they are also trying to abuse their power for personal gain, which is simply outrageous to both humans and gods.

He is deliberately hypocritical and pretends to be doing it for the good of the family. It is really disgusting.

"Granduncle Tai is taking advantage of my absence to bully my wife."

A weak voice with a hint of anger came.

The sound here was like a thunderclap.

Several people looked outside at the same time, and two figures slowly walked in.

The leader was Li Xuan.

"You are a loser, why are you here instead of lying in bed and recovering from your injuries? This is not a place for a son-in-law like you to be. Get out of here now, you are embarrassing yourself."

When he saw who was coming, Lin Haitao did not hide the contempt on his face at all, and started to humiliate him directly, as if he was the master here.

"You all can come, why can't I? This is my home." Li Xuan glanced at them and said lightly.

At this time, the great uncle slowly spoke. Although his voice was small, it carried an unquestionable attitude:

"You are just a son-in-law, not a member of the Lin family. This is a meeting room, and only members of the Lin family are qualified to come in."

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a son-in-law is half a son. Now that my father-in-law is not around and there are no other males in the family, I am naturally qualified to come in," Li Xuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"So what if you come? If Ruolin can't solve the problem, what can a useless person like you do?" Lin Haitao sneered.

"The restaurant's business is not doing well, not because of poor management, but because of external forces. Granduncle puts all the blame on Ruolin and even forces her to remarry. Isn't that unfair?" Li Xuan looked at him.

"How dare you talk to my grandfather like that!" Lin Haitao scolded angrily.

"He's your grandfather, not mine. If you don't like it, the door is open and you can leave anytime," Li Xuan said unhappily.

The great uncle was very calm, his eyes quietly sizing up Li Xuan, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, and then he looked at Lin Ruolin:

"A son-in-law dares to speak to me like this, this is your rule.

No wonder our ancestors' legacy has been lost in your hands."

Li Xuan stood in front of Lin Ruolin and said calmly: "It's ridiculous that those who take advantage of others' misfortune dare to talk about the rules."

These words not only angered the great uncle, but also Lin Ruolin behind him was stunned, looking at Li Xuan's back in astonishment.

In her memory, the other party had always been very honest and never dared to speak to her great uncle like that. Even the other people in the Lin family kept their distance from him as if they couldn't afford to offend him.

Today he actually stood up and fought against his great uncle. Is this still the Li Xuan she knew?

The great uncle's eyes instantly condensed into two sharp rays of light. Even angrier than him was Lin Haitao, who was furious: "You useless thing, you dare to scold my grandfather, you are looking for death."

As he said this, he walked towards Li Xuan angrily.

"Stop, this is the meeting room. My father is still the head of the Lin family. This is not the place for you to run wild."

Fearing that Li Xuan would be hurt again, Lin Ruolin quickly stood up and wanted to scold Lin Haitao.

"Haitao"

Taishu spoke publicly.

Hearing this, Lin Haitao reluctantly stopped and stared at Li Xuan fiercely.

"Ruolin, I know you are quite dissatisfied with me, but everything I have done is for the foundation of the Lin family, and I have a clear conscience," said the uncle.

"Grand Uncle, the restaurant's business is not doing well, and Ruolin is to blame.

Ruolin will find a way to improve the restaurant business and will not let the family business be destroyed in my hands.

As for remarriage, it is absolutely impossible."

Lin Ruolin spoke forcefully, expressing her truest thoughts.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Xuan's lips.

Seeing that the other party was stubborn and unrepentant, the uncle suddenly became gloomy:

“Although I am a branch, I am also the most qualified in the clan. If the head of the family does something that harms the interests of the family during his tenure, I have the right to depose the head of the family and appoint a new head.

Since you are so stubborn, I will call a family meeting, depose your father from his position as the head of the family, take back the ancestral home, restaurant and all other properties, and drive you out."

Hearing this, Lin Ruolin's face suddenly turned pale, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her knuckles turned white due to the force, as if she was trying to resist the fear and anxiety surging deep in her heart.

Looking at his wife's slightly trembling body, Li Xuan stepped forward, held her trembling and tense little hand, and faced his great uncle directly:

"If it's as Granduncle says, then it's your right to depose the head of the family. It's a pity that Granduncle worked so hard for the family at such an old age, but ended up alone. It's really sad."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Haitao frowned. A son-in-law dared to talk nonsense in front of him. He must be fed up with living.

"According to Dahua law, anyone who intentionally kills someone shall be sentenced to death."

Intentional homicide?

Several people were confused as to why this had come up.

"If you hit your head, go see a doctor. Don't talk nonsense here. It's embarrassing."

"Uncle Tai, do you recognize this?"

Li Xuan pointed at the gauze on his head and said, "Lin Haitao, in front of everyone, was furious because he failed to plunder the Lin family's property. He wanted to kill me to vent his anger and deliberately pushed me down and smashed me against the corner of the table."

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't mean it at all. It was you who couldn't help pushing," Lin Haitao explained quickly.

"Everyone saw this. As for the explanation, you can tell the officials and see whether they believe it or not." Li Xuan smiled indifferently.

Hearing this, Lin Haitao panicked. If the matter really got to the government, even if it was not intentional, the fact that Li Xuan was injured was a fact. If the matter was really investigated, he would not be able to avoid imprisonment.

He quickly turned around and looked at his great uncle: "Grandpa, I didn't mean it. Please help me. I don't want to go to jail."

The uncle frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with Lin Haitao's impatience, and suddenly fell from the active position to the passive position.

But with only one grandson, he naturally wouldn't ignore it: "What do you want?"

"one month"

Li Xuan held up a finger and said, "Give me a month. During this period, you are not allowed to disturb us. If we can restore the restaurant to its original state, this matter will be over.

If that doesn't work, then as my great uncle said, I will take away the position of head of the family and the family property as well."

Upon hearing this agreement, Lin Ruolin's face was shocked. She stared at Li Xuan in disbelief.

"impossible"

"A month is too long. The restaurant may not last that long," Great Uncle refused.

"Half a month"?

Ten Days

"Ten days at most. If you can't do it after ten days, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Okay, ten days then."

Li Xuan didn't expect his great uncle to give him a month, ten days was already good enough.

As he spoke, he waved his hand towards the door, signaling the other party to leave.

The great uncle stared at Li Xuan with his shrewd eyes, and his black and white eyes rolled several times.

As the ancestor of the Lin family, he knew something about Li Xuan. He was just an honest man, and a single look from him could make others tremble in fear.

Today he actually dared to stand in front of him to debate, neither humble nor arrogant, with both skill and scheming, and his aura was like that of a young master from a wealthy family.

For a moment, he was a little dazed.

Did the son-in-law really say these words himself?

The uncle's face looked a little ugly. Being treated so rudely by a junior would be a loss of face for anyone. He stood up, walked to Li Xuan, and whispered, "I underestimated you."

"I won't let you go," Lin Haitao said harshly.

"Why did you make a ten-day bet with Grand Uncle Tai? It's simply impossible to restore the restaurant business within ten days," Lin Ruolin was puzzled.

There is no room for maneuver now.

"Let's make a bet. We still have at least ten days. Otherwise, we won't have any time at all."

Hey.

Lin Ruolin sighed. How could she not know this truth?

If Li Xuan had not suddenly appeared today, she would probably have agreed to her great uncle's request and married into the Wang family.

"Then do you have a solution?"

Lin Ruolin had some hope. After all, Li Xuan dared to make a bet, which meant that he had a plan in mind.

"I do have some ideas, but time is running out and I need to think about it carefully."
