Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One - A Sober Fall

Hayashiya

Lin's mother brought out a plate of fruit slices from the kitchen and gently placed it in front of Tu Mi.

"Thank you, Aunt Lin."

Lin's mother responded with a smile.

Lin Family Study

Lin Lian looked at her father, who had his back to them, and couldn't help but call out, "Father..."

Lin's father turned around, no longer the same as he had been downstairs. His expression was somewhat weathered. "Xiao Lian, I have something very important to tell you, something that concerns whether the Lin family will decline."

Lin Lian frowned, his gaze fixed on his father. "Father, speak."

In the past, his family would not let him know about any important or serious events that happened at home. Sometimes he could vaguely sense them, but since his family did not want him to know, he would pretend not to know. But this time, things seem to be... very bad.

Lin's father did not speak, but looked at Lin Lang, wanting Lin Lang to speak for him.

Lin Lang opened his mouth, his voice hoarse, "A few years ago, my family bought a piece of land in the western suburbs. In the eyes of the prominent families at the time, that piece of land was expensive and useless. However, my family bought it, spending a lot of resources and manpower. But just recently, some things were discovered on that piece of land. It is estimated that the land in the western suburbs should now be worth..." As he spoke, Lin Lang made a gesture.

Lin Lian's eyes widened slightly. "So many!" Before Tu Mi came to the Lin family, Lin Lian had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen in his family, because his father had been both happy and worried at home for the past few months, and even his brother's behavior was very abnormal.

"Therefore, the Ye family doesn't want to expend a lot of resources to acquire our land, even disregarding past relationships..."

Lin Lang nodded silently.

Lin Lian gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely, "The Ye family is truly despicable; their behavior is utterly disgusting. And Ye Tianzhu is already behaving like this before even becoming the head of the Ye family; what will happen if he does?!"

At this opportune moment, Lin's father spoke up: "Ye Tianzhu was able to do this with the permission or appointment of the Ye family head."

Lin Lian's chest heaved more and more as she listened. The thought of Lin Lang's disheveled and pitiful appearance when she first came home made her heart ache.

Although Lin Lang has a sharp tongue, he has always been the one to help him get revenge whenever someone bullies him since he was a child.

"Brother—, did you go and beg Ye Tianzhu before you went home?"

Lin Lang's fingers twitched slightly at his side. He turned his head away from Lin Lian and sneered, "Why would I ask someone for help?"

As his own child, Lin's father felt sorry for Lin Lang. He never expected that the child would secretly go to find Ye Tianzhu. Ye Tianzhu was able to fight his way out of so many illegitimate children of the Ye family, which shows that he is no ordinary person.

“Right now, we only have one path left: to cooperate with the Tu family,” Lin’s father’s deep voice echoed in the study.

The Lin family was able to go down this path entirely because the Ye family was too greedy. It should be said that the four major families had been in high positions for too long and looked down on everyone else, not realizing that a single spark could start a prairie fire.

Moreover, the Lin family's cooperation with the Tu family has been very sincere and obvious. If the Tu family fails to protect the Lin family, the Lin family can expose them. If the Lin family does not help the Tu family ascend to that position, the Lin family will also be swallowed up by the other four major families. The two families are now in the same boat.

Tu Mi had only been sitting in the living room for a few tens of minutes when the Lin family father and son came downstairs.

Lin's father strode forward. This time, he didn't need Tu Mi to serve him tea; instead, he picked it up himself and drank it all in one gulp.

"This bowl of tea that Young Master Tu gave me is really delicious."

We must show respect to our partners. Lin's father is still standing; how could he sit down?

Tu Mi stood up, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Uncle Lin, I believe that when you look back on this day in the future, you will definitely feel that you made a good choice."

Mr. Lin chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

Tu Mi stepped forward and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Uncle Lin, my father invites you to Zhenweiji for a chat at 3 pm three days from now."

Lin's father's smile deepened, "Definitely, definitely."

Tu Mi pretended to look out the window. It was still raining outside, but the rain had lessened considerably compared to before.

"I saw it was getting late, so I'll be going now."

Lin's father said to his two sons, "You two see Tu Shao off."

Tu Mi did not refuse.

As the three reached the door, Lin Lang called out to Tu Mi, "Tu Mi, thank you for today."

"And... if you need anything in the future, just let me and Lin Lian know."

Tu Mi looked at Lin Lian, and Lin Lian smiled at Tu Mi without reservation.

Although the Lin family was cooperating with the Tu family, they were still at a disadvantage. Moreover, the Tu family helped the Lin family through their difficulties, so it was expected and within the plan that the two Lin brothers would side with them.

Lin Lang and Lin Lian are twins who look exactly alike. Tu Mi was able to tell them apart because Lin Lang was caught in the rain and looked pale. If Lin Lang had recovered, Tu Mi might not have been able to tell them apart.

Lin Lian seemed to notice that Tu Mi was struggling with something, so he moved closer to Tu Mi and pressed his face directly against hers.

Tu Mi tried to back away, but found the door right behind her and couldn't move. She could only helplessly ask, "Lin Lian, what are you doing?"

Seeing Lin Lian's unbridled behavior, Lin Lang's voice hardened, "Lin Lian, what are you doing!"

Lin Lian ignored Lin Langde and instead winked at Tu Mi, "Tu Mi, can't you tell the difference between me and my brother?"

Tu Mi nodded, "That's true."

Tu Mi then saw Lin Lian pull Lin Lang over from the side, saying, "Brother, come here quickly."

Lin Lang had been kneeling for a long time and had been soaked in the rain, so he was a little weak. Lin Lian pulled him over directly.

Then, Tu Mi saw the two brothers' faces pressed directly in front of him.

“Tu Mi, look.” As she spoke, Lin Lian pointed to her right cheek.

Tu Mi followed the gaze and saw that Lin Lian had a mole on his right cheek.

“Look, my brother doesn’t have one on his right cheek, but he has one on his left cheek. We’re actually symmetrical.”

Tu Mi looked over and saw that it was indeed the case.

Tu Mi's eyes shifted and met Lin Lang's eyes. Lin Lang's eyes flickered, and for some reason, he just wouldn't look at Tu Mi.

Tu Mi stared at Lin Lang for a few more seconds, and a few thoughts suddenly flashed through her mind.

Although Lin Lang didn't look at Tu Mi, she could still feel Tu Mi's gaze on her. She pursed her lips and her ears turned red.

Tu Mi suddenly spoke up: "Lin Lian, Lin Lang, you two are both working for Ye Tianzhu, and I want you to do something."

Their expressions immediately turned serious, Lin Lang's ears turned from red to flesh color, and Lin Lian's smile faded.

Lin Lang asked, "What is it?"
