After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 401

Lin Tianwu picked it up and found that the call had already ended. He could only stare blankly at his phone.

After a moment of deathly silence, the Lin family's living room erupted in chaos.

"How is that possible? What merit does Lin Ling have...?" Lin Zhengguo's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he could barely speak.

He had always thought that Lin Ling was just a greenhorn who had no support once he left the Lin family. He thought that if the Zeng family targeted him, he would be severely injured, if not killed. He never expected that Lin Ling would turn the tables and uproot the Zeng family.

Zhang Xiufang was also so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. It took her a long time to find her voice: "Then... what kind of luck did he have? He was able to get the mayor to help him and even gather all the evidence. When did this kid become so capable?"

She was filled with resentment. She had thought she would be able to see Lin Ling make a fool of himself, but who knew that she would be the clown instead.

Lin Ke'er looked even more annoyed, biting her lip as she said, "If I had known he was capable, I shouldn't have kicked him out of the Lin family in the first place..."

Lin Keshan looked regretful: "When did he become so capable?"

"If... I mean if we hadn't fallen out with him, all the resources he possessed would belong to our Lin family."

“We have a police chief and a mayor standing behind us. No one in the entire Southern Prefecture would dare to challenge us.”

"If I had known he was so capable, I shouldn't have treated him that way."

Lin Ke'er sighed as well, her face full of regret: "Yes, who would have thought that he would be completely transformed after leaving the Lin family?"

“He used to be a quiet, unresponsive guy in our family, and we could do whatever we wanted with him. But now he’s soared to great heights and trampled the Zeng family underfoot.”

"We were foolishly hoping he would suffer, but now look what's happened, we've just pushed him away."

Zhang Xiufang muttered resentfully, "Hmph, who knows what kind of luck he had? Maybe he has someone backing him up."

"This kid is always cunning. He's probably already planned everything, just waiting for us to take the bait so he can completely break away from the Lin family and go it alone."

Lin Zhengguo sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, tapping his fingers incessantly on the armrest: "What's the use of saying all this now? When you kicked him out, none of you objected."

"Now that things have come to this, we can only try to find a way to repair our relationship with him. It's such a pity that he's doing so well while our Lin family isn't getting any benefit from it."

“He’s clearly my son. If he becomes successful, I, his father, can also benefit from it.”

"But now, not only can we not benefit from his actions, we also have to be careful of his retaliation."

"Just think about it, if he says a few words of nonsense about our Lin family to the mayor, the Lin Group will be finished, and maybe even Yang Li's 3 billion yuan investment will vanish in an instant."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

The disdain and humiliation he once felt towards Lin Ling have now turned into deep regret and fear.

They stared at each other, at a loss, neither knowing how to face Lin Ling, who was no longer the same person she once was.

At this moment, Lin Ke'er said expectantly, "Um...didn't Yang Li help us contact the 'Touching the Southern Wilderness Family Reunion' program?"

"Should we still stick to our original plan and force Lin Ling to reconcile with us on the show?"

“But he’s become much more powerful now. If we keep offending him, he might do anything to attack us.”

Lin Zhengguo frowned: "This show was originally a good opportunity to control that kid, to use public opinion pressure to make him obediently submit and return to the Lin family."

"But now the situation has completely changed. If we go to participate and anger him, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Zhang Xiufang also looked troubled: "If we don't participate, it would be such a waste to give up the opportunity that Tianwu worked so hard for."

Lin Keshan bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then said, "How about this, we go on the show, but don't force him like we planned before."

"Try to humble yourself, sincerely apologize to him, and express your desire to reconcile. Maybe he can forgive us out of consideration for our past as family."

Lin Ke'er sneered and said, "It's not that simple. Lin Ling isn't stupid. He knows very well how we treated him before."

"Do you think he can easily forgive me with just a few perfunctory apologies? I think this show is a disaster, let's just forget about it."

Lin Tianwu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Originally, I should have asked Sister Yang what she thought."
