Ch 35 - Second Generation Ancestor x Illegitimate Child: His Wish Came True

In the past few days, the threshold of the door to the Lin family home was worn down by people’s footsteps, it was much more lively than a few years ago when Lin Sui was the top scorer in the college entrance exam.

The Lin family was all numb on the inside, looking at Lin Sui like he was some kind of rare treasure.

The person being gawked at was actually at ease, sitting with one leg crossed over the other, leisurely eating sliced fruit, looking no different from that silkpants he was before.

Lin Min was proud of this success: “I just knew my brother was capable of great things.”

“As expected of my uncle, I can take part in Si Fang’s beta test for those holographic online games ah. You’re too cool, uncle!”

His nephew Qingqing rushed over to butter him up, selectively forgetting about his past shadow.

If this were the first time, others may thing that it was impossible, but Lin Sui had already done this, doing great things without saying a word, so while it was unfamiliar at first, they became accustomed to it soon enough. Plus, Lin Sui himself had that calm and collected appearance, he didn’t speak about his hardships or challenges, he just looked indifferent, so other people also wouldn’t make a fuss in front of him, but still got excited when they turned around.

The shock and transformation of the industry involved a number of fields, and everyone with experience saw that he and Tian Qi didn’t get along since, although he didn’t say so explicitly, stopping the collaboration made his stance clear, so many people saw the wind and set the helm1.

Lin Min didn’t know what happened between Yan Qin and Lin Sui to lead to this mess, but when she wanted to ask about it, Lin Sui brought up another topic, so it seemed like he didn’t want to talk and Lin Min didn’t say anything again.

But when she saw Yan Qin at a dinner party, she had a bit of a guilty conscience. After all, they were the ones that stopped cooperating first, so Tian Qi’s current predicament could be said to have been 90% caused by them. She originally thought that Yan Qin would glare at her, but she hadn’t thought that Yan Qin would smile at her courteously in the process of hurriedly greeting her, just as he had before.

She even felt that it was even more sincere, hss… even more terrifying.

Yan Qin had been busily rushing about these past few days, but his mood wasn’t terrible, he even had some energy flowing all throughout his body.

“Old Yan, you’ve been working around the clock for a week already, just rest for a bit,” Chu Feng saw Yan Qin’s bloodshot eyes and his tired but high-spirited appearance and, feeling nervous, let out a deep sigh, then grabbed him and pushed him to rest inside the office, “Hurry, go sleep.”

The predicament Tian Qi was currently facing was more than just the breaking of their funding chain and the stopping of multiple projects, there was still the problem of staff turnover, other companies were frantically poaching talents, and although Si Fang hadn’t interfered, Chu Feng still couldn’t avoid being upset.

“Young master Lin pulled the carpet out from under us and put us in this situation.”

“Okay, let’s not talk about this.”

Tao Ting pinched the space between her brows. Although there was resentment in her heart, she knew this matter was from Yan Qin being crazy before and keeping people like caged birds. The Lin family’s prince was proud and arrogant, so it was impossible for him to not come back and retaliate once he’d managed to escape, but what she didn’t expect was that Lin Sui was actually Si Fang’s backer. All other things aside, she was a bit impressed by this.

“He was no good to Old Yan before, and now…”

Chu Feng was very annoyed, he didn’t know what Yan Qin had done, and Tao Ting only knew what she was able to discover from carefully looking into the Blue Butterfly security system.
