The ancestral home of the Lin family is actually in Jingzhou, but they have left Jingzhou and moved to their homes at a very early age, and have stayed in several continents in Dahua, relying on the business acumen that the Lin family was born with, to obtain the industry at that time.

Then when the outsiders invaded, the Lin family was also one of the first families to start shouting at these colonists, and they also subtly changed some foreign cultures, traveled around the world, and lived a life of circulating goods.

When the contradiction between the two sides intensified, the Lin family relied on the abundant supply of goods at hand, resold everywhere, and made a war fortune, and then the tripartite talks ended, the Lin family was already the fifth largest family with a strong foundation in addition to the five major families in South China, and the contribution made to the country during the war years, the Lin family was not required to hand over to the treasury, and then encountered the trend of land development, the Lin family once again moved the family to Shanghai, and the first time and the Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai began economic exchanges, that is, the so-called, The first person to eat crabs.

It was also because of this that the strength of the Lin family rose rapidly in the following time, and gradually became the main economic body of Shanghai, until nearly 60 years ago, after Shanghai became a key development area at the request of the Congress, the Lin family happily gave up its position, retreated into the background, and became a strong cornerstone and supporter of the development of Shanghai, until now.

And now, except for a few people, in fact, few people know the true appearance of the Lin family, and the Lin family has always taken keeping a low profile as their code of conduct, and not arguing with the court, chambers of commerce, or even the church is the family motto handed down by the ancestors of the Lin family for generations.

In this way, the Lin family relied on their own efforts1 to live a self-sufficient life.

In the Lin family, there are also very strict rules and regulations, the Lin family believes that only men are the purest bloodline of the Lin family, in the first generation of the Lin family, the boys born are listed as the family, and the girls are divided into separate families, and they are raised and educated in different ways.

The people of this family receive the most orthodox education, and the people who divide the family are relatively inferior, and after the children become adults, they will also take on the same responsibility, after all, they will carry such a big family as the Lin family in the future.

Most of the men who are separated from the family belong to the family, and the children born must also follow the mother's surname, and only the particularly excellent heirs can be exceptionally included in the ranks of the family and included in the family tree after they reach adulthood.

This rule has been strictly enforced until now.

"So Lin Yixuan is the one who was born in a separate family, does that mean?" Zhou Ruocheng finally couldn't help it and asked.

"As for my younger brother, his identity is still a little special, don't worry about Brother Zhou, I'll explain to you slowly." Lin Xiangrong said again.

Lin Yixuan's mother is the daughter of the family, since she was a little maverick, when others were learning to play, she ran out of the yard to play in the garden, and when other children were learning to dance, she climbed on the branch to learn the wild man roar, and injuries often occurred, and she has always been praised by the Lin family as "the wild girl who is raised by the family." ”

But this wild girl's brain is very smart, at the age of thirteen she was already proficient in arithmetic and many Chinese, at the age of fifteen she independently negotiated a big business with others, and at the age of twenty, she was already a well-known industrialist in Shanghai, with several properties, factories and docks under her name.

No wonder Lin Yixuan could shout about his own industry with himself at that time, and it turned out that he didn't make it after a long time? Zhou Ruocheng thought in his heart.

Because of her such a successful reality, the head of the family at that time, that is, the old man Lin, personally came forward and made an exception to let her enter the family, and she was also the youngest branch family member in the history of the Lin family to enter the family, and after that, she once again achieved one achievement after another at a godlike speed that some of the family could not achieve in a lifetime, and became the pride of the Lin family at that time.

Zhou Ruocheng just listened and didn't speak, such a brilliant will inevitably have a divine turn in the middle.

But by the time the girl was twenty-five years old, the servants of the Lin family were originally hereditary, all from generation to generation

In that year, due to some willingness, the number of servants of the Lin family was scarce, and in order to fill the vacancy, the Lin family once again hired a group of servants in the outside world to increase the number of people.

And in this group of servants, there was a young man who did not know the height of the sky, he deceived the most successful girl of the Lin family at that time through his rhetoric, and the girl who did not ask about the world was quickly fascinated by her deception, and even repeatedly gave up many of the most seekers, and when the old man Lin found out, the girl was already pregnant with the flesh and blood of this wild man.

Damn, how do you listen to fairy tales like Europe and the United States? Zhou Ruocheng muttered in his heart and continued to listen to Lin Xiangrong.

Old Man Lin, who knew the truth, was furious and ordered the wild man to be killed, and according to the rules of the Lin family, the body that was defiled by outsiders was no longer pure, but he only made one request to the girl, that is, to kill the child, and she could still stay in the family.

But the girl who was deceived too deeply was also grieved by the death of her husband, and resolutely disagreed, so that the old man could only demote her back to the family again, living in a small western-style building in the most humble house, cutting off all her contact with the outside world, and only one servant to take care of her daily life, and even so, the strong woman still gave birth to her child, this child is Lin Yixuan, my younger brother.

The children of the separated family are loosely managed compared to the family, and the wild seeds in the outside world have not been taken seriously, and the woman also relies on this, so that the maid and the child secretly contact the outside world and maintain the outside industry, until Lin Yixuan was fifteen years old, his mother, who worked day and night, was finally overwhelmed and passed away, because he had long since severed the relationship with the family, Lin Yixuan was no different from orphans at this time, and for this reason, his temperament also became extremely extreme, and he was very extreme in many aspects. So much so that he later caused public anger and was kicked out of the house by Old Man Lin.

When leaving the Lin family, Lin Yixuan also said a cruel word, that is, he would let his parents' names be included in the Lin family's genealogy in his own way.

"It's really a story of ambition." Zhou Ruocheng said with emotion.

"The story after that is very clear, Lin Yixuan not only continued to develop his mother's industry with his own efforts, but also relied on his own ability to become the ruling government of Shanghai, the right hand of the governor of Zhou, and the Chamber of Commerce and the church." Speaking of this, Lin Xiangrong also took a puff of cigarette.

"It turns out that Mr. Lin has experienced so many stories before?" Zhao Qingyuan, who was standing on the side and listening, also sighed.

"But because he was born like this, and he was kicked out of the Lin family, my brother's reputation at home is really not good, after all, the Lin family is a group of arrogant people, and bloodline is their arrogant capital, my brother has always been just a joke in their eyes, even if he is sitting in this position now, he has always been criticized by his family, and as for the situation that happened with you later, he was jokingly called a rotten orange by his family." Lin Xiangrong sighed and said.

"Brother Lin looks at you and seems to be quite helpless about this matter?" Zhou Ruocheng also asked.

"Hawkers, if I want to see it myself, I still sympathize with my brother, after all, her mother is the most brilliant one in our Lin family in these years, and the birth of my brother can only be said to be a bad accident and the crystallization of maternal love, he himself is innocent, and the family has always used his identity as a sinner to measure him, which is also a kind of unjustified disaster for him, as the eldest brother of this generation of children in the family, I can only do nothing about this matter." Lin Xiangrong sighed and said.

"Eh, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." Zhou Ruocheng also said helplessly.

"Yes, so I am also very uncomfortable when you and my brother have these things, and I hope you don't hold a grudge against my brother, after all, he is also a hard-working person." Lin Xiangrong said.

"Brother Lin, Mr. Lin is also blessed to have a good brother like you." Zhao Qingyuan also seemed to be moved by Lin Xiangrong's words, and couldn't help but say.

"So what? To such as

Now I can only think about it, after all, with my ability, I can't do anything for my brother. Lin Xiangrong said helplessly.

"It's always good to have this heart." Zhou Ruocheng also said.

"But Brother Zhou, after all, these words are said here to no avail, and I ask Brother Zhou to help me keep this secret, after all, it is not honorable to say it... Please also ask Brother Lin to bear with me. Lin Xiangrong said helplessly.

"Oh, understand, only God knows about this matter, you and I and Qingyuan know, and I also guarantee on behalf of our husband and wife that it will definitely rot in the stomach!" Zhou Ruocheng said with a serious face.

Zhao Qingyuan also nodded.

"Thank you both." Lin Xiangrong said, and then stood up, "I'll go and see if dinner is ready, wait a little longer, if you are hungry, you can eat some snacks, don't be restrained, just like in your own home." ”

"Oh okay, Brother Lin go slowly." Zhou Ruocheng greeted,

Lin Xiangrong waved his hand at them, and then walked out of the lounge.

Seeing that there was no one around, only the person on the bar was still there like a statue, Zhou Ruocheng quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a heavy puff, "Damn, smelling his second-hand smoke has already hooked me up, cool!" ”

"Sir, it turns out that Mr. Lin also has such a past." Zhao Qingyuan also said.

"What? Baby Qingyuan was moved by this story? Zhou Ruocheng leaned on the sofa and asked with a smile.

"Isn't it admirable that a child born for love struggles hard because of the injustice of his life experience?" Zhao Qingyuan asked.

"So do you think this old man Lin is the villain?" Zhou Ruocheng asked again.

"No, I can only say that neither side is wrong, or both sides are wrong, after all, the rules are set by people, and this rule cannot judge the real right or wrong." Zhao Qingyuan said.

"Our young baby is talking more and more like a philosopher." Zhou Ruocheng also laughed, and stepped forward to take Zhao Qingyuan in his arms.

"Will Mr. Lin change his opinion of Mr. Lin a little after listening to this story?" Zhao Qingyuan sat on Zhou Ruocheng's lap and asked.

"What's changed?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"After all, Mr. Lin targeted you everywhere before, don't you hold a grudge against Mr. Lin?" Zhao Qingyuan asked.

"It's impossible not to hold a grudge, but I've always admired what he did, otherwise I wouldn't have stuck his cold ass again and again, wouldn't I?" Zhou Ruocheng asked rhetorically.

"But fortunately, Mr. Lin has such a good brother, and he is really blessed." Zhao Qingyuan sighed again.

"Why do you say that?" Zhou Ruocheng asked again.

"Sir, you are a single child, you may not know, the friendship between brothers and sisters is the most real, the eldest sister and the second sister in my family are very good to me, you see that there is something about me, the eldest sister does not hesitate to rush back from Suzhou so far away and call you sir." Zhao Qingyuan said.

"That's also your family, who knows how this Lin family is?" Zhou Ruocheng also laughed.

"It's like that for all my brothers and sisters." Zhao Qingyuan said.

"Your thoughts can only show that you are still too naïve, baby Qingyuan." Zhou Ruocheng nodded at Zhao Qingyuan's brain: "The days with me are not long enough." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Zhao Qingyuan asked suspiciously.

At this time, the door of the lounge opened again, and the housekeeper who had followed Lin Xiangrong walked in, "Mr. Zhou, dinner is ready." ”

"Oh yes." Zhou Ruocheng stood up and took Zhao Qingyuan's hand, "Wait a while, if someone asks you something, you just smile and nod, even if it's a particularly easy question to answer, you don't want to answer it, understand?" ”

Zhao Qingyuan nodded, "Okay, sir." ”

In this way, Zhou Ruocheng and Zhao Qingyuan walked out of the lounge.
