Chapter 1061: Father and Sons: A Family Affair

“You scoundrel! Today I’m going to beat you to death! Do you think it’s too easy for the Lin Family to establish themselves in Jiangzhou?”

Lin Hao was really about to go insane his eyes red as he kicked Lin Jin on the ground.

Others weren’t allowed to hit his son.

But when he personally did it he didn’t hold back.

Lin Jin curled up on the ground not saying a word his eyes showing a deep-seated resentment towards Xu Shaochen.

In his eyes everything was because of Xu Shaochen.

If it weren’t for him how would he have ended up like this?

“Dad, that’s enough stop it if you keep hitting him you’ll kill elder brother it’s already happened hitting him won’t change anything.”

Lin Wei quietly waited on the side for a moment seeing the time was right he quickly adjusted his emotions and rushed up to hold Lin Hao.

He held Lin Hao to stop him from hitting Lin Jin while shouting at Lin Jin “Elder brother why are you still in a daze? Leave first we can talk after Dad calms down!”

Lin Jin gave Lin Wei a deep look getting up and wiping the blood from his mouth he rolled and crawled out of the private room.

Watching Lin Jin leave Lin Wei’s eyes revealed a triumphant gleam.

With Lin Jin gone his space to maneuver had just expanded.

“Let go of me! You just protect your scoundrel brother one day the whole Lin Family will be doomed by him!”

Lin Hao said in a rage.

Lin Wei released Lin Jin “Dad things are like this even if you beat elder brother what’s the use? The key now is to dispel Ye Pengfei’s hostility towards our Lin Family.”

Lin Hao sighed looking at Lin Wei with complex emotions “Ah, Xiao Wei, you’ve had it hard indeed.”

He’d never thought to have this youngest son inherit his position.

Yet under his persuasion this younger son bore great humiliation willingly wore the hat inscribed for the sake of Lin Family’s growth.

Facing the favored Lin Jin he showed no jealousy even now he stood up to protect him.

Looking back at what the favored elder son had done during this period of time such reckless things!

Selling out family bonds painstakingly earned by his brother for outsiders lusting after Xu Shaochen’s goddaughter and offending the Ye Family in some unfathomable way.

Such actions one after another do not resemble those of a qualified heir.

Lin Hao was now somewhat regretting his decision perhaps he should’ve observed the two brothers for a longer time.

“Dad, there’s no talk of hardship, it wasn’t easy for the Lin Family to establish themselves in Jiangzhou as a member of the Lin Family what wouldn’t I do?”

Lin Wei smiled lightly speaking with ease his tone very calm as if discussing something irrelevant to himself.

But this calm and lifeless tone made Lin Hao feel guiltier.

Once such an arrogant unruly younger son now seemed to have matured all of a sudden.

But the price for maturity seemed too severe.

It was all his doing the more composed Lin Wei appeared the more remorseful he felt.

“Xiao Wei, maybe Dad was wrong do you blame Dad?”

Reflecting on the younger son’s sudden growth and the foolishness of the elder Lin Hao seemed to make a firm decision.

“Dad, what nonsense are you saying you’re my dad how could I blame you?”

Lin Wei said nonchalantly but inside he was sneering blame you? How could I not blame you! You’ve always favored elder brother how can’t I blame you!

“Xiao Wei, Dad has been biased before now Dad gives you a chance to compete fairly with your elder brother report to the company tomorrow…”

Before Lin Hao could finish speaking Lin Wei’s face changed interrupting him “Dad, do you know what you’re saying I absolutely won’t agree!”

“Since you already decided elder brother as your heir my competing with him now will only harm the company and weaken the Lin Family I can’t do it Dad and you shouldn’t say such things again.”

He refused firmly because he fully absorbed Xu Shaochen’s teachings no competition is the best competition.

Look at now.

If he had followed his original plan to fight Lin Jin fiercely in the company would he receive the same treatment now?

Certainly not and he would’ve been hated by Lin Hao.

But now? He did nothing just played the filial son to Lin Hao daily and Lin Hao was willing to give him a fair chance.

Thinking about it it was quite ironic that dealing with his own father required such convoluted schemes.

“If you change your mind you can tell me anytime.”

Seeing Lin Wei’s intense reaction thinking only of the Lin Family Lin Hao felt both comforted and guilty.

He secretly decided to give Lin Jin one last chance after all as a father he thought he owed him.

If he disappointed again he would send him abroad and seriously train Xiao Wei as his successor.

As for Lin Wei’s affair with the hat he believed few knew and those who did wouldn’t dare spread it.

Who’d dare gossip about Xu Shaochen would be courting death.

Lin Wei had his blemishes but it was better than letting the Lin Family fall into the hands of an incompetent.

“Dad, I won’t compete with elder brother not now not ever.”

Lin Wei said resolutely having tasted the sweetness of the non-competition strategy he certainly wanted to continue implementing it to the end.

He’d been stressing the point of not competing with Lin Jin though it seemed to instill a thought in Lin Hao: their competition would only weaken the Lin Family.

So for the Lin Family’s sake absolutely no fratricidal rivalry for power should occur.

If Lin Jin disappointed Lin Hao again he wouldn’t let Lin Wei compete fairly with Lin Jin but would directly switch him out to let Lin Wei rise.

Because Lin Hao would remember Lin Wei’s words fighting between the two would only hurt the Lin Family so he’d prevent that from happening.

The only way to avoid it would naturally be to support one and snuff out the other’s ambitions completely!

This family father favored sons schemed truly a harmonious family.

…………

Xu Shaochen encountered a dilemma.

Huo Xiao invited him to get a room.

Speaking as if inviting him for a drink even he the experienced driver couldn’t help but feel a little shy.

“Hey, why are you hesitating do you want to go or not? I’ve thrown away my dignity don’t you feel the least embarrassment?”

Huo Xiao impatiently pushed Xu Shaochen failing to get him drunk she straightforwardly invited him to share a bed tonight.
