Chapter 2: The youngest son of the chaebol family
At half past five in the afternoon, Lin Zhibai heard someone knocking on the door outside the bedroom, accompanied by a nice sound.
"Blackie, open the door!"
At the door stood a royal sister wearing a pure white tight high-necked short-sleeved undershirt, with a high-waisted skirt of the same color, her hair was draped over her shoulders in a slightly curly posture, and her figure was convex and backward-
is also Lin Zhibai's sister.
My sister Lin Xi liked to call Lin Zhibai "Little Black" when she was a child.
Later, Lin Zhibai's brother and even his parents began to call him that.
Although Lin Zhibai's skin is fair, it is not dark at all.
Hearing his sister's voice, Lin Zhibai got up and opened the door.
"Yikes!"
The moment the door is opened.
Lin Xi's slender hand gently covered his mouth, his crystal-colored nails sparkled, but his expression was a little stunned and stared at Lin Zhibai.
"Who are you, handsome guy?"
"To get in?"
Lin Zhibai made a gesture to close the door.
Lin Xi leaned against the door and walked in with an unknown number of centimeters of hatred, but his eyes never left Lin Zhibai's face.
"Where's your glasses?"
Lin Zhibai realized that he had taken off his glasses, after all, his vision had been restored by the system.
"No need." Lin Zhibai said.
"How can you see your sister's country and city without glasses?"
Lin Xi smiled like a flower, his eyes were still staring at Lin Zhibai, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he felt.
Odd.
Why didn't I think my brother looked so good after taking off his glasses?
Of course.
Lin Zhibai's appearance itself is extremely high-
Even Lin Xi, who has always been narcissistic, has to admit that his younger brother Lin Zhibai is the ceiling of the entire Lin family's appearance, and he has all the advantages of his parents.
But that was before.
Three years ago, he suffered a head injury, and the sequelae left behind made Lin Zhibai have to rely on drugs to fight it, and his eyesight also had problems.
During these three years.
Lin Xi watched Lin Zhibai's body get thinner and thinner, and the lenses on the bridge of his nose became thicker and thicker.
The temper has become gradually eccentric, not to mention, even the temperament of the whole person is becoming more and more melancholy, there is a sense of sickness and weakness and gloom, and when facing the family, he can still be a little stronger.
But today it seems to have changed.
Lin Zhibai took off the glasses he had worn for three years, in addition to his pale skin and thin figure, there seemed to be indescribable changes in his body, and even Lin Xi faintly saw his shadow before he was injured.
"Sister."
Lin Zhibai suddenly spoke: "I'm fine." ”
The secrets of the system are destined to be impossible to talk to his family, but Lin Zhibai does not intend to hide the matter of recovering his health.
Lin Zhibai's voice fell.
Lin Xi's smile froze suddenly.
The next moment.
Lin Xi's eyes were red, and his pupils were covered with a layer of mist.
"You ......"
Her plum-colored lips trembled, and her voice trembled violently: "You say it again......"
"I'm all right." Lin Zhibai said.
The moment the words fell, Lin Xiwa burst into tears.
This woman is made of water, between pale golden eyeshadow and black eyeliner, the tears that are gargling and falling like strings of pearls are endless.
The appearance of pear blossoms with rain.
Lin Zhibai took out a tissue to wipe her sister's tears.
In the past few years, the pain in the hearts of his family has not been less than that of himself, so no matter what, Lin Zhibai does not want to hide the fact that his body has recovered.
"I just painted the makeup!"
Lin Xi let Lin Zhibai wipe his tears, and laughed while crying.
Laughing and laughing, I cried even harder.
Lin Zhibai remembered that it was the first time to see Lin Xi crying like this, like an aggrieved little girl, and the contrast with the image of the noble royal sister just now was extremely strong.
"Good."
Lin Zhibai really coaxed her like a little girl, and reached out to pat her on the back: "Ah, don't cry, it's okay, my brother is here......"
Lin Xi's cry stopped:
"Call my sister!"
Lin Zhibai showed a smile, this trick really worked.
Lin Xi glared at Lin Zhibai, and then said in a somewhat complicated tone: "Do you know that you haven't laughed for almost three years?" ”
"Three years?"
Lin Zhibai shook his head: "The last time I laughed should be on my birthday three days ago. ”
Lin Xi took a deep look at Lin Zhibai: "People's smiles can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is to laugh for oneself, and the other is to laugh for others, even when he laughed last time he can remember so clearly, which kind of person will he belong to?" ”
Lin Zhibai was silent for a moment.
Lin Xi turned around and pushed open the door: "Follow me downstairs." ”
Lin Zhibai didn't say anything and followed behind Lin Xi.
Lin Xi went downstairs very quickly, even if she was wearing high heels, she couldn't stop her excitement, and when she went down to the second floor, she suddenly shouted at the top of her voice:
"Mom!"
Lin Zhibai's family lives in a single-family villa, with a total of three floors.
At this time, my mother was wearing silk pajamas, and she was standing in the yard downstairs watering the garden, when she heard Lin Xi's scream, she said angrily: "What are you crazy about!" ”
"How is your son!"
Lin Xi had already brought his younger brother downstairs, and the makeup of the crying flowers still couldn't hide his bright face: "Your baby son's body has recovered!" ”
Smack.
The watering can in Mom's hand fell to the ground.
When Lin Xi saw this scene, he thought for no reason, it turned out that what was played in the TV series was true, and when a person's emotions were strongly impacted, the things in his hands would really fall to the ground.
"Your sister said ......"
The mother looked at the little son behind Lin Xi cautiously, for fear that it was just a joke.
"Hmm."
Lin Zhibai nodded vigorously: "It's true, my eyesight has recovered, and the headache has disappeared......"
"Wow!"
Before Lin Zhibai finished speaking, his mother burst into tears.
Lin Zhibai stepped forward to support his mother's shaking body, and couldn't help but think funny in his heart, obviously he was not biological, but the style of the mother and daughter crying in the storm was the same.
……
Six o'clock.
The babysitter made dinner.
Lin Zhibai, his sister and his mother, who had recovered her mood, sat around the dining table, but no one moved their chopsticks.
"When was it good?"
The mother felt like a dream, even if her son did take off his glasses, his state was obviously different from before, but he was still a little incredulous, and couldn't help but ask again and again.
Lin Zhibai groaned:
"I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling more and more relaxed, and it wasn't until today that my vision was completely restored, and I realized that I was getting better......"
I have to lie about it.
Because his illness was cured systematically, only this secret could not even be revealed to his family, which had nothing to do with trust.
"Good, good, good!"
Mom finally stopped asking, and suddenly got up and said, "I informed your brother and father that I haven't had time to tell them the good news!" ”
"Hmm."
Lin Zhibai nodded.
Mom took out her mobile phone and went to the yard to make a call.
Lin Xi looked at Lin Zhibai: "Although you are already fine, you still have to do a detailed physical examination, it is best to let the old man say hello, he doesn't like our family anymore, and he will feel guilty about you after all." ”
Old man?
Lin Zhibai narrowed his eyes slightly: "For people like the old man, guilt is a very luxurious consumable, since it is a consumable, it can't be easily consumed, only in this way, at the critical moment, can it be killed with one blow." ”
"Poof!"
Lin Xi smiled.
Lin Zhibai was inexplicably laughed at by her: "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Xi looked stricken: "Do you know why I call you Xiao Hei?" ”
Lin Zhibai thought for a while: "Because of the meaning of my name?" ”
Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" has a saying:
Knowing its whiteness and guarding its black is the world's style.
Obviously sees through right and wrong and black and white, but pretends to be stupid, this is "knowing its whiteness and guarding its black".
His father gave Lin Zhibai this name in the hope that he could be wise and foolish, neither praise nor criticize the world, and be able to be extraordinary.
Lin Xi shook his head.
"What do you know about white and keep black, that's Dad's official explanation, you should be glad that at least he didn't use Lao Tzu's sentence that heaven and earth are not kind to all things to name you, although Lin Shugou is not impossible, as for I call you Xiao Hei, not for you to guard its black, it is pure because you have a black belly when you are young, but well, my sister likes your calculating appearance."
Lin Zhibai: "......"
I always feel that Lin Xi has a lot of connotations.
Lin Xi has already started to eat, chewing slowly and slowly to move elegantly and intellectually, most of the time, this sister has extremely high requirements for her own image and appearance, only in front of her younger brother, will she show her fierce side without taboos.
……
Halfway through the meal.
Mom finished calling.
Mom's full name is Wen Yu, and she was born with a beautiful melon seed face, except for a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the years have not left too many traces on this woman's face, but there is a little strange emotion between her eyebrows at the moment:
"Just got the message."
Wen Yu looked at the sisters and brothers: "Your grandfather's seventieth birthday is approaching, and there is news from Xicheng Manor, and our family will also go there at that time." ”
"Tsk."
Lin Xi's smile disappeared, "It's really rare to invite our family." ”
Lin Zhibai didn't speak, but when he heard the words "Xicheng Manor", his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
The Lin family is a typical family-owned business.
In layman's terms, it is a capital chaebol.
This family business was founded by Lin Zhibai's great-grandfather, and was given a very vulgar name called "Mythical Group", which started as a film and television drama in the early days.
After the death of his great-grandfather, his grandfather Lin Zhaomu inherited the family business.
Lin Zhaomu is Lin Zhibai's old man, who can be called a business wizard in the industry.
At the age of 28, he took over the Mythical Group, and a month after taking office, he acquired a poorly managed TV station, which soon turned the TV station into a profit, and then successively extended the tentacles of Mythology to various fields around the group's basic disk.
Music, film and television entertainment.
Media Network Publishing.
Operated by Myth TV Station.
There are even theme parks.
Under the management of Lin Zhaomu, Mythical Group is already a huge entertainment empire.
If compared with the earth, the mythical group can almost be compared with the earth's Disney, of course, the overall scale is not as large as Disney at its peak, and the group's industrial chain has not reached the level of completeness of Disney at its peak, but there are tens of thousands of employees.
Lin Zhaomu has four sons and one daughter.
Father Lin Dong is the fourth son of his grandfather.
It stands to reason that the old man is now old, and his energy is not as good as that of a young man.
As the second generation of the Lin family, my father should now obediently take over part of the industries of the Mythical Group and participate in the actual management, just like Lin Zhibai's uncles.
However.
For various reasons, the conflict between my father and my grandfather is quite deep.
Although Lin Dong also works in the Mythical Group, he is only a TV drama director in a subsidiary of the family, and he has not participated in the actual management of any industry in the family.
"After all, it's the old man's seventieth birthday."
The old mother glanced at Lin Xi, "Besides, he is strict on the surface, but he actually has feelings for you juniors." ”
Lin Xi sneered: "Not to mention the third generation of the Lin family, the old man himself has four sons and a daughter, so many descendants can load a truck together, and how much affection can be shared on everyone's head, not to mention how much affection can be shared, not to mention how average the relationship is, because of that well-known reason, what his old man dislikes the most is our family, not to mention that I am not his own granddaughter......"
"Lin Xi!"
Mom's face was ugly: "I have warned you more than once that you are not allowed to mention these things, especially when you go to Xicheng Manor, you can't say a word that you shouldn't say, otherwise I will pick your skin!" ”
"I'm not stupid."
Lin Xi wiped his mouth slowly with a tissue: "It's also the nominal third generation of the Lin family, who doesn't have some acting skills anymore." ”
“……”
Lin Zhibai continued to eat dinner, he didn't plan to participate in this topic, it was a big deal to go to the manor that he hadn't set foot in for three years to go through the motions-
At this point.
In Lin Zhibai's ears, a system prompt suddenly sounded: "Ding Dong, the host has triggered the task." ”
The next moment.
A few lines of subtitles come to mind.
[Task Name: Inheritance Dispute]
[Quest content: Chaebol inheritance is an invisible war, as the youngest son of the chaebol family, please host to fight for the inheritance of the mythical group! ] 】
[Task note: This is a long-term task, and skill points are provided with specific progress.] 】
Lin Zhibai was stunned.
Fight for the inheritance of the Mythical Group?
The system can't have seen through my mind, right?
"Do you accept the assignment?"
"Accept!"
Lin Zhibai did not hesitate at all.
The eagle builds a nest in a high place, and the Jiao enters the deep water to play, life in the world is nothing more than these two choices, either lonely or vulgar.
