Chapter 177: childish revenge

Chapter 177 Childish Revenge

 On November 30th, Lin Zhaomu, chairman of Shinhwa Group, held his 80th birthday at his Xicheng manor.

this day.

The Xicheng Manor, which covers a vast area with no end in sight, is full of people coming and going.

 On the huge open-air lawn, a long table placed in a buffet style is filled with a variety of exquisite foods.

 There are chefs grilling steaks, lamb chops and other meats, and the aroma fills the air.

 The floor in front of the lawn is covered with expensive blankets.

Various luxurious decorations make the manor seem like a royal palace.

The long road outside the manor is already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Even the most famous celebrities in Qinzhou can only be regarded as ordinary people in this manor.

Lin Zhibai’s family drove here. After getting off the car, they passed by the giant fountain and a huge statue at the entrance of the manor.

 “Great grandfather.”

Lin Shengtian clasped his hands together and bowed his head towards the statue of his great grandfather.

Grandpa is the founder of the myth. His statue is above the center of the fountain. He ordered it to be built a few years ago.

Lin Zhibai looked towards the manor.

The young masters and gentlemen were chatting with each other, with smiles on their faces.

It's so lively to take pictures of those gorgeous ladies with their pouty lips.

You can see some performances everywhere, including singers, musical instruments, magicians, and even circus performances...

 He is actually very familiar with this place.

For example, there is a rockery where several celebrities are gathering to take photos.

Lin Zhibai often took his pet dog there to **** and pee when he was a child.

 “I met some old friends.”

Lin Dong seemed to be even more uncomfortable than Lin Zhibai when he came here. He loosened a button near his neck and went to chat with some old friends.

“You guys can wander around as you please, and I’ll go say hello to my relatives?”

The mother said and glanced at Lin Zhibai. The younger son's behavior seemed to be normal.

 “Go.”

Lin Zhibai smiled and said, suppressing the shadow in his heart. He really didn't like this place, but this place will belong to him in the future.

Lin Zhibai was very sure.

 The buildings in the Lin family manor are very tall and very large.

Lin Zhibai said to his brother and sister, "I can wander around as I please."

 “I’ll accompany you.”

Lin Xi blinked, she seemed a little worried.

Lin Shengtian didn't say anything, but obviously he didn't want Lin Zhibai to run around alone.

Lin Zhibai laughed and did not refuse.

 The three of them wandered around the manor for a while, and then entered the huge building with white walls on the outside.

 “Secretary Kim?”

Lin Zhibai entered the lobby and saw Secretary Jin standing at the elevator entrance, saying something into the intercom on his collar.

 “You are here.”

Hearing Lin Zhibai's voice, Secretary Jin came over and said with a smile, "Young Master Bai has grown a lot taller."

“Secretary Kim hasn’t changed at all.”

Lin Zhibai opened his mouth. Secretary Jin was one of the few people in the Lin family that he liked.

Although Secretary Jin’s surname is not Lin, he has worked diligently with the old man over the years, and it seems that those surnamed Lin may not be more important than him.

 Because only direct descendants of the Lin family own shares in the Shinhwa Group, and Secretary Jin also owns them. He is the old man’s most trusted subordinate.

“Secretary Jin, we are here too.”

Lin Xi was unhappy, "How do you know how to say hello to Xiao Hei?"

 “Xiaoxi, Shengtian…”

Secretary Jin said with a smile on his face: "Didn't I say hello to you when I went to Shinhwa Entertainment? But I haven't seen you, Mr. Bai, for almost four years."

 “Is that so?”

Lin Xi’s eyes were very curious.

 This is an unsolved mystery of the Lin family.

 No one in the Lin family understands it, but everyone can see it.

  Secretary Jin seemed to treat Lin Zhibai differently from everyone in the third generation of the Lin family.

Secretary Jin often calls others by their nicknames, or by their full names. Only when he is serious will he call him Young Master.

 But Lin Zhibai always called him "Young Master Bai".

  It's not the kind of acquaintance, it's more like a habitual intimacy.

Lin Xi also asked Lin Zhibai why, but his brother didn't say anything, and Secretary Jin himself didn't mention the reason either.

 “Can we go up?”

Lin Zhibai looked at the two bodyguards at the elevator entrance, standing there like door gods.

"certainly."

 Secretary Jin winked, and the bodyguard started pressing the elevator button.

Secretary Jin approached Lin Zhibai and whispered: "The chairman is on the sixth floor, the second generation is on the fifth floor, the bosses and investors in the industry are on the fourth floor, and Lin Gong and the others are on the third floor. I suggest you go to the second floor to play and eat. All the drinks are available, I let people..."

 “I’ll go shopping by myself, do you have a card?”

This elevator cannot freely enter and exit each floor without swiping the card.

 “Don’t run around.”

Secretary Jin hesitated and gave Lin Zhibai a card.

Lin Zhibai smiled, took the card and took his brother and sister up to the second floor.

Lin Shengtian pondered: "Xiao Hei, is Secretary Jin being too kind to you?"

 “Maybe because I’m the most handsome.”

Lin Zhibai walked directly to the second floor with a smile.

"Wow."

 The food and drinks on the second floor are better than outside, and there are various recreational facilities.

 Some people saw Lin Zhibai and the others talking in low voices.

“Dr. Lin’s grandson and granddaughter?”

 “Lin Xi, Lin Shengtian.”

“The unfamiliar one should be Lin Zhibai.”

"ah?"

"he is the one…"

 “Hush.”

 “Don’t talk about this matter in Xicheng Manor.”

"He is very young, and his health seems to be better than the rumors say. He looks quite healthy. He should still be a student."

Someone knows Lin Xi and Lin Shengtian.

The two of them wanted to follow Lin Zhibai, but they were quickly dragged over by their friends to chat.

Lin Zhibai didn't run around after getting rid of his brother and sister, and just grabbed some snacks and started eating them.

 “Lin Zhibai!”

Suddenly, a voice came from the side. Lin Zhibai turned around and saw several young girls dressed in jewelry.

"you…"

 “No, I don’t even recognize my junior high school classmates!”

Several girls were unhappy because this popular figure on campus in junior high school no longer recognized their classmates.

 “Ha, Zhang Tian, ​​Zhao Yuexiu…”

Lin Zhibai thought for a while and called out the names of several girls.

The girls were immediately overjoyed, covering their mouths and smiling: "You have a really good memory."

 “Maybe it’s because you were too dazzling when you were in junior high school.”

Lin Zhibai smiled slightly.

 Several girls actually blushed, "Who can be more dazzling than you at that time?"

 “Girls.”

 Another voice came from the side, "Can I talk to him?"

"ah!"

 “Sister Su Chan!”

The girls were very sensible and recognized Su Chan, smiled and greeted her politely, and then left.

Lin Zhibai said: "You ruined my affair."

Su Chan curled her lips and said, "That's not what your eyes are saying. Your eyes are saying, can these girls please stop disturbing my eating."

"Have it?"

"There's none?"

Lin Zhibai shrugged.

Su Chan smiled and said, "The way you look at me seems different from the way you looked at those girls just now."

"I've heard of lip reading, but not eye reading." Lin Zhibai probably knew that Su Chan wanted to test him: "The ice cream here tastes pretty good, a high-end brand from Shinhwa Group. Try it?"

 “It’s too cold.”

Su Chan has something to say.

Lin Zhibai raised his eyebrows and stabbed her: "Will your grandpa come over today to discuss marriage with our old man?"

Su Chan said: "My grandfather is very ill and can't come."

Lin Zhibai hesitated, suddenly a little embarrassed to continue this topic.

Su Chan took the initiative and continued: "So the current Tianguang situation is actually quite chaotic. Although my dad is the general manager, he can't suppress many old people."

 “Why are you telling me this?”

"I was thinking, we are in a similar situation, should we consider joining forces?" Su Chan blinked, this woman is very beautiful, even more beautiful than female celebrities, Lin Zhibai must admit.

But he still chose to play dumb.

"I'm just a student. Wait until I start working in Shinhwa, and then we can talk about joining forces."

 “Are you really just a student?”

Su Chan said: "Some people appear to be sophomores, but secretly they are Bai Di."

Lin Zhibai said lightly: "But Emperor Bai can't give you the kind of help you want. Maybe you can control Tianguang by marrying Lin Gong."

"I don't like him." Su Chan said: "I have studied psychology and micro-expressions. You should know that I am very good at observation and quite smart, so I don't like him. You can understand it as disgust."

"Yeah?"

Lin Zhibai had enough time to calm down and said, "Then go up and tell him that you despise him and that you prefer Emperor Bai to a loser like him."

Su Chan rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Are you childish? Are you using this boring method to retaliate against him?"

Lin Zhibai said indifferently: "I am happy."

Su Chan suddenly smiled, "Okay, I'll go tell you."

Lin Zhibai was about to stuff a grape into his mouth, but stopped when he heard these words.

Su Chan said: "You are scared."

Lin Zhibai shook the elevator card in his hand and said, "Follow me upstairs."

 Said.

Lin Zhibai walked directly to the elevator.

Su Chan looked at Lin Zhibai’s back in confusion.

 “You’re scared.” Lin Zhibai turned around, tilted his head to look at her, and returned his original words.

Su Chan stared at Lin Zhibai, as if she wanted to observe his micro-expressions, but this trick didn't work every time.

Lin Zhibai was smiling, looking indifferent.

 “Walking.”

 She raised her eyebrows and followed Lin Zhibai.

Lin Zhibai's heart skipped a beat, wondering if there was something wrong with this woman.

Su Chan said: "Are you going or not?"

Lin Zhibai twitched the corner of his mouth and entered the elevator directly. Secretary Jin said that Lin Gong and the others were on the third floor.

 “It’s not too late to regret now.”

Lin Zhibai opened his mouth. He asked himself that he was quite smart and Su Chan was not stupid. As a result, the two of them were discussing seriously about doing something extremely childish.

 “Although it’s a little childish.”

Su Chan stood at the door of the elevator, looked at Lin Zhibai in the elevator and said softly: "But don't you just want to destroy my marriage with Lin Gong? It doesn't matter whether the method is childish or not. If it can achieve the goal, it is a good method. Consider it a vote of approval."

 “A certificate of honor?” Lin Zhibai seemed confused.

Su Chan nodded as she entered, and walked towards Lin Zhibai. The elevator space was obviously very large, but she forced him into a blind corner, and then made a standard wall-dong gesture that is most common in idol dramas.

"Kunpeng."

The two people's faces were very close to each other. Su Chan didn't say a word, but Lin Zhibai was sure that her mouth shape was definitely "Kunpeng".

 As for this wall…

 In fact, it is purely to avoid the elevator camera.

Lin Zhibai's face darkened, "You already know?"

Su Chan leaned close to Lin Zhibai's ear and exhaled softly: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. The more similar Bai Di and Chu Ci are, the less likely anyone will doubt that these two are the same person. You are really very different." You are smart, and you are indeed the lucky one chosen by Kunpeng. I need you more than Lin Gong."

Lin Zhibai’s face turned extremely ugly.

Su Chan's body was still close to Lin Zhibai, but she could see his expression from the corner of her eye, "It seems that I guessed it right. Can you take me to play with you?"

"I will think about it."

Lin Zhibai's expression seemed a little depressed, although there was a villain in his heart laughing wildly with arms akimbo.

This woman is quite interesting. If you could put a chain on her and tie her firmly to the palm of your hand...

 Maybe it can be of use to me.
