After a verbal onslaught from Xiao Yufan, Lin Xingshao was already feeling dizzy, especially looking at Xiao Yufan with eyes full of admiration…
“Hey, for your big brother’s sake, you should make a little sacrifice too, right? It’s just about practicing martial arts and taking over the family business. It can’t be that difficult!”
Xiao Yufan felt a bit awkward. Even he himself didn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth, but they were more than enough to fool Lin Xingshao. After all, wasn’t this guy just a thrill-seeker? A little persuasion from Xiao Yufan had successfully redirected him onto the right path.
Lin Jiayao’s lips curled into a faint smile. How had she not noticed before that her husband had such persuasive potential? Even she almost believed what Xiao Yufan said was true.
“Big brother-in-law, are you telling the truth? If I want to reach your level, must I really practice martial arts and attain the Qi-condensing realm…”
It must be said, Lin Xingshao was indeed quite innocent. So what if his IQ was over 100? His lack of experience left him no match for Xiao Yufan, a seasoned schemer.
“If you truly want to pursue what you love, you must do it this way!”
Xiao Yufan’s voice carried a hint of authority. Damn, why did he feel like a charlatan? For the sake of ensuring his future son would carry his surname and to relieve Jiayao’s potential guilt toward the Lin family, he had to shift the burden onto Lin Xingshao.
Moreover, this might not be a bad thing for Lin Xingshao either. With the Lin family’s hidden strength, if this guy were to pursue martial arts, he would surely become a formidable figure. And if he became the future heir to the Lin family, he would definitely be impressive.
Every hidden aristocratic family was never as simple as it appeared on the surface. At the very least, the inherited heritage was incomparable to that of ordinary families. If such a transcendent power could be controlled by one person, it would naturally be a stroke of great fortune.
“Alright then, I believe what you said, Grandpa. I’ve changed my mind. From now on, I will temper myself to become a strong and responsible man!”
Lin Xingshao indeed believed him, which was exactly the result Xiao Yufan wanted. Looking at the determined expression on the young man’s face, Xiao Yufan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After a brief hesitation, Old Master Lin burst into hearty laughter. Previously, he had been quite helpless with his grandson, never expecting that a few words from Xiao Yufan would actually change the stubborn boy’s mind.
“Excellent, excellent, excellent! My grandson will surely be a dragon among men!”
His thunderous voice reverberated like grand bells, sending a jolt through Xiao Yufan. Clearly, Old Master Lin was genuinely excited. Previously, he had worried about the Lin family having no worthy successor, but now Lin Xingshao had changed. How could he not feel delighted?
“Grandpa, you can’t just favor one over the other. After all, I’m your granddaughter too!”
Lin Youyou watched her grandfather’s excitement with her beautiful eyes curving like bright moons. The two had always been rivals since childhood, and this time, she wouldn’t stand idly by either. Although it wasn’t quite appropriate for a girl to involve herself too much in family affairs, Lin Youyou simply disliked seeing her cousin being so smug, so she decided to get involved too.
“Cough, cough. Indeed, girls can outshine boys. If my Youyou wants to contribute, Grandpa naturally supports it wholeheartedly!”
Old Master Lin secretly felt delighted, as if he had suddenly become decades younger. If the younger generation of the Lin family could shoulder great responsibilities, then why would their hidden family need to seek favor from other aristocratic families?
Watching the harmonious and joyful scene unfold, Lin Ye stood silently aside, enjoying the moment. In his eyes, Lin Xingshao was like his own child. If the old master entrusted the entire hidden Lin family to this young man, he wouldn’t have the slightest complaint.
Looking at all of you smiling so happily, I almost don’t want to disturb you…
Lin Mother stepped forward, watching the scene with a gentle smile. Especially the look she gave Xiao Yufan, it was filled with increasing admiration. It was precisely because of this man’s arrival that the Lin family had quietly begun to change.
“Mom, let me help you!”
Lin Jiayao stood up and took the items from her mother’s hands. It had been a long time since she had returned home, and she wanted to spend some quality time with her parents.
The meal ended in a harmonious atmosphere. Although Old Master Lin had mentioned the Guo family, Xiao Yufan didn’t take it seriously. Even if Guo Junyu dared to come again, he was absolutely confident in ensuring he never left alive.
This wasn’t arrogance on Xiao Yufan’s part, but rather because that idiot had touched his most sensitive nerve. A dragon has its inviolable scale—touch it, and death is certain. If he truly wanted to kill Guo Junyu, although Xiao Yufan would pay a heavy price, it wouldn’t cost him his life.
After dinner, Xiao Yufan was dragged out by Lin Xingshao. It seemed that this guy’s obsession with street racing had reached an extreme level…
Xiao Yufan had nothing else to do, so he agreed. He only gave a few pointers on racing techniques, and the latter showed significant improvement quickly.
No wonder he’s a genius with an IQ over 100. If Lin Xingshao could apply this ability to managing the hidden Lin family, the family would surely grow stronger in the future, which would also be beneficial for Xiao Yufan.
“Big brother-in-law, is this all? I don’t feel like I’ve improved much…”
After circling the underground track, Lin Xingshao realized that even following Xiao Yufan’s guidance hadn’t brought much improvement, so he felt somewhat displeased. His big brother-in-law didn’t seem like he was lying.
“Damn… Do you really think everything can be mastered overnight? Street racing, if you want to be stylish, you have to take it step by step!”
Xiao Yufan nearly fainted. This little brother-in-law of his actually thought his words were a quick recipe for success. Nothing could be accomplished in one leap, especially not a technical skill like this.
“I guess that’s true… You can’t rush things. Anyway, I have time. At most, I’ll follow you and learn slowly. After all, I’m studying at Linjiang University!”
Rubbing his head, Lin Xingshao laughed. It seemed he had really latched onto Xiao Yufan. But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Letting him follow him could be part of the strongman development plan. Once Lin Xingshao took over the hidden Lin family, wouldn’t Xiao Yufan then have the entire Lin family standing behind him?
After staying for quite a while, Xiao Yufan finally left the Lin family with Lin Jiayao. After all, he still had many things to do…
However, they didn’t see Old Master Lin when leaving, so Xiao Yufan didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. He wondered whether the old man would bring this up the next time they met.
Just as Xiao Yufan left the hidden Lin family, several pairs of eyes had already locked onto the two of them, but Xiao Yufan remained completely unaware…
