Chapter 1044: Wishing You and Xiao Ling a Prosperous Future with Children

Night.

In Lin Wei and Ye Ling’s newlywed home.

The house is a detached villa in Repulse Bay, Jiangzhou, worth over 30 million.

The bride Ye Ling in a wedding dress waits in the bedroom.

Xu Shaochen and the groom Lin Wei drink tea in the living room.

“Mr. Xu, you saw my brother’s style. He’s already so arrogant before taking over Dad’s position. If he becomes the chairman, there won’t be space for me.”

Recalling Lin Jin’s public and private insults at the wedding made Lin Wei furious.

“Your brother isn’t suited for leadership. But that’s your problem. I’ve allowed you to act in my name. If you can’t beat him, that’s your own fault.”

Lin Wei fumed while Xu Shaochen calmly crossed his legs speaking evenly.

He disliked Lin Jin’s behavior.

But this was Lin Family’s affair.

He might offer minimal help to Lin Wei, but he wouldn’t assist against his elder brother.

After all, Lin Family’s succession didn’t concern him much.

“Mr. Xu, you’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t complaining. Just mentioning it. Don’t worry.”

Lin Wei was more perceptive than Lin Jin, noticing the change, he quickly adjusted.

His initial aim was to gain Xu Shaochen’s sympathy for help against his elder brother.

Seeing Xu Shaochen didn’t lean that way, he pretended it wasn’t said.

“There’s no need to focus on your elder brother. Pay more attention to your dad. Ultimately, he decides who inherits the company.”

Lin Wei had a good attitude and was quick-witted. Xu Shaochen didn’t mind offering some advice.

Lin Wei’s eyes brightened: “Thank you, Mr. Xu. I’m deeply grateful.”

Being too involved clouded his judgment, Xu Shaochen’s words enlightened him.

Lin Jin assumed himself the heir, becoming careless and prone to mistakes.

Fighting him in company affairs might only increase Lin Hao’s disfavor.

Lin Wei realized that secretly gaining favor from the company higher-ups while appearing indifferent would be savvy.

With time, he’d win Lin Hao’s favor, who might feel guilty over Lin Wei’s broad contributions.

Once a father feels guilt towards his son, compensation arises.

During Lin Jin’s inevitable missteps, then…

Lin Wei’s smile grew, smart people need only a hint to know the path.

“Once you’ve grasped it, you can leave.”

Xu Shaochen began to dismiss him.

“Mr. Xu, it’s getting late. I won’t delay your wedding night. You go on. Wishing you and Xiao Ling a prosperous future with children.”

Lin Wei wiped the smile off his face, stood, and bid farewell.

Initially humiliating, but now he’s used to it.

That woman was never meant for him, merely in name.

Who else but him wishes a harmonious future between his legally wedded wife and another on his wedding night?

After Lin Wei left, Xu Shaochen closed the door and headed upstairs.

Opening the master bedroom door.

Ye Ling sat on the bed in her white wedding dress, playing with her phone.

Seeing Xu Shaochen enter, she quickly tossed the phone aside, sweetly calling out, “Husband~”

Xu Shaochen looked at Ye Ling.

Her veil still on, black hair against the white veil contrasted, her delicate face under soft light showed shyness, lips curled slightly, almond-like eyes glazed.

The fitted strapless dress hugged her shapely figure, the hem trailing on the floor, elegance and allure combined.

“Do I look nice?”

Ye Ling blinked slyly, legs together leaning, blushing slightly, a seductive mix of shyness.

The scene tempted Xu Shaochen to recite poetry.

But poetry could wait.

Tonight’s beautiful scene was fleeting. The main business was priority.

Suddenly, the room filled with spring warmth like autumn wind sweeping leaves, rain pounding plantains…

Meanwhile, Lin Wei returned to Lin Family.

Lin Hao and Lin Jin were waiting for him in the living room.

“You’re back. Cheer up. A real man needn’t fear lack of a wife. She was never really with you.”

Lin Hao got up, patted Lin Wei’s shoulder to comfort him.

As a man, he knew the humiliation.

“Yes, brother, I can introduce you to women. Don’t hold a grudge. It’s a family secret.”

Lin Jin comforted Lin Wei, yet couldn’t hide his glee.

Lin Wei forced a smile, dryly saying, “Dad, I’m okay. It’s for Lin Family’s future. I’m your son, It’s my duty to contribute.”

Seeing Lin Wei’s feigned strength, Lin Hao felt a mix of emotions and guilt, unable to speak.

“Dad, I don’t want to work at the company. I’ll quit my position. Let big brother handle it. I want to relax.”

Lin Wei looked at Lin Jin and told Lin Hao.

Both Lin Hao and Lin Jin were stunned by his resignation plan.

Lin Jin reacted quickly, joyful at Lin Wei’s exit, and said, “Alright, with me at the company, no worries. Rest well.”

Seeing his eager first son’s lack of empathy, Lin Hao frowned.

In Lin Hao’s view, Lin Wei’s resignation was due to today’s stress, bearing Lin Family’s burdens.

Yet his chosen heir, his first son, seemed so ungrateful, bringing discomfort.

“Dad, I’ve been busy and tired all day. I’m heading to rest.”

Lin Wei said smilingly, cutting conversation, heading up the stairs.

Watching Lin Wei’s departing figure, Lin Hao hesitated but eventually remained silent, letting him be.

Cocky Lin Jin and guilty Lin Hao didn’t notice Lin Wei’s faint smile on the stairs.

Indeed, Mr. Xu was correct; that was Lin Family’s proper strategy.

Not striving is the new striving!
