Ch 16 - Second Generation Ancestor x Illegitimate Child: Treasure in the Palm of His Hand

The day the college entrance exam results came out, the phone at the Lin house was blown up with calls.

This year's top scorer had 736 points, and his name was Lin Sui.

Lin Sui had long since prepared to face this scene where the whole family, from Grandfather Lin down to the garden dogs, was petrified, very casually soothing them and explaining things.

The family especially confirmed the name three times, but they couldn’t accept it calmly.

“I’m following after my grandfather. Wasn’t grandfather also an excellent student back then?”

Lin Sui simply didn’t say too much, he didn’t need to prove himself, still having that irreverent, conceited, second generation ancestor look.

In any case, the facts really weren’t fabricated. The Lin family just gladly accepted it and thought that Lin Sui was just so smart, and they kept helping Lin Sui find reasons for this, from his genes to his childhood, so Lin Sui didn’t have to do anything. The calmer he was, the more other people felt that it was a matter of fact.

The Lin family stated on the spot that they were going to throw him a large party, and that the banquet would last three days at least, and that they were going to make a donation in the name of this celebration, etc. In short, it was going to be extremely extravagant, and they wished the whole world could know.

The System asked him: [Since you wanted to keep a low profile, why make such a public display?]

Lin Sui answered: [There will be a trail to follow for anything that happens.]

And he was right in the middle of making the trails necessary for his end result.

The System: [The Son of Fortune’s mother doesn’t have much time left on her side.]

Lin Sui was smiling as he toasted in celebration with his family, and the smile on his face didn’t change when he heard this.

Although the Lin family bragged like this, Lin Sui let them celebrate. However, Lin Sui did not want to accept any interviews to show his face, so those activities were all politely declined.

Since the other party was the young master of the Lin family, the media couldn’t do anything to win him over, so they had no choice but to turn their sights onto the other double-eggyolk1 top scorer, but they didn't expect that the other person would also refuse, so they couldn’t find anyone at all.
