Chapter 483: Lin Kai’s Downfall

Lin Kai ultimately couldn’t persuade his sister and disappointingly went downstairs.

However, when he reached the living room, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Lin Yao and Lin Rong were sitting nearby, holding newspapers and sipping tea, completely ignoring him.

Lin Changguan was sitting on the sofa with a face so gloomy it seemed like it might drip water, clearly on the brink of an outburst.

“Dad, what… what’s wrong? Who made you angry again?”

Seeing this scene, Lin Kai felt a bit happy.

He thought it must have been Lin Yao or Lin Rong who angered Lin Changguan again, since he’d just been upstairs; it clearly wasn’t his fault.

“Unfilial son! Kneel down!”

Lin Changguan roared.

When Lin Yao played the recording for him, he wished he could kill Lin Kai, that bastard.

Having your own sister use her body to amuse a man to gain benefits for oneself… How had the Lin Family sunk to such a level? To Lin Changguan, this was nothing short of a humiliation—an insult to the Lin Family’s honor.

Their family was already a laughingstock because of Zhou Yun. If word got out that the Lin Family’s eldest daughter was becoming someone’s concubine, where would they put their face? How would Lin Wanxue live with this dishonor?

“Big Brother, Second Brother, what did you do this time to make Dad so mad that he wants you to kneel?”

Lin Kai casually crossed his legs and grabbed an orange from the fruit plate, looking at Lin Rong and Lin Yao as he spoke.

Lin Rong and Lin Yao exchanged glances and then looked at Lin Kai with a mocking smile, like they were watching an idiot.

Seeing their smiles, Lin Kai paused in peeling the orange, a bad feeling arising in his heart.

“Smack!”

The next second, Lin Changguan slapped Lin Kai across the face, roaring, “Unfilial son! I told you to kneel!”

“Dad… I… What did I do? I haven’t caused any trouble recently!”

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Lin Kai was stunned. Hadn’t the Old Master been satisfied with him over the past few days? Why had his attitude changed so suddenly?

“Yes, you haven’t caused any trouble outside. But now you plan to cause trouble at home!”

Lin Changguan gritted his teeth as he spoke, his hand trembling with rage as he pointed at Lin Kai.

That was his own sister, born of the same mother. How could he say such shameless things, encouraging her to become a concubine?

Worse than a beast. Truly worse than a beast.

“Dad, what exactly did I do?”

Lin Kai still didn’t understand what he had done wrong and was starting to get a bit angry.

“Fine, today I’ll let you die knowing your sin. Listen up!”

Lin Changguan slammed a phone onto Lin Kai.

Lin Kai recognized it as Lin Yao’s phone. He glanced at him, then started playing the only few recordings on it.

“Sis, please agree… What’s wrong with becoming his concubine…?”

The moment he heard his own voice, Lin Kai’s face turned pale, and the phone slipped from his hand to the ground.

“Dad… let me explain. Let me explain. It’s not… it’s not what it sounds like!”

Lin Kai was now panic-stricken. He never imagined Lin Yao had been eavesdropping.

It could only be said that his recent success had made him overconfident.

When he approached Lin Wanxue to talk about such a thing, he had forgotten even the most basic thing: locking the door.

“Explain? Lin Kai, what a good brother you are, planning out even your sister’s bedroom delights and her private life.”

Lin Yao coldly laughed as he looked at Lin Kai, his voice dripping with sarcasm and his eyes full of disdain.

“Exactly. Lin Kai, oh Lin Kai, I have to say, you’ve really gone too far this time. How will others see the Lin Family? How will they see Xiao Xue?”

Lin Rong followed up, shaking his head at Lin Kai with an expression of extreme disappointment.

In reality, both of them were ecstatic inside.

Lin Kai had been too high and mighty lately, but now he was utterly humiliated. There was no way he would ever become the head of the Lin Family.

How could someone who needed to sell his own sister’s body to gain profit for himself lead the family?

“Smack!”

It was bad enough that Lin Yao and Lin Rong spoke, but it made Lin Changguan even more furious. He slapped Lin Kai again, gritting his teeth as he said, “You wretch! You don’t need to go to the company anymore. Since you can’t handle being the Young Master of the Lin Family, go ahead and become someone’s lapdog.”

Xu Shaochen? The young heir of Xu Corporation, of all people. Did Lin Kai think someone like that would kindly help him vie for family assets? What in the Lin Family could possibly attract Xu if not their vast wealth?

But this bastard couldn’t see through that, and instead wanted to send his sister to curry favor with Xu Shaochen. Outrageous!

Lin Kai’s face went deathly pale as his whole body collapsed onto the sofa, large beads of cold sweat sliding down his forehead.

It was over. All the progress he had recently made, gone up in smoke. Everything he had put in had gone to waste.

For a moment, his heart was filled with deep hatred towards Lin Yao. If it weren’t for him, how would he have ended up like this?

“Hmph! You brat, one day you’ll really be the death of me.”

Lin Changguan pointed at him and coldly threw down this sentence before turning and heading upstairs.

“Sigh. Lin Kai, Dad had so much hope for you, but now you’ve disappointed him… and us.”

Lin Yao straightened his collar and spoke to Lin Kai with a heavy tone, but the smile on his lips was impossible to hide.

“Go to hell!”

Seeing Lin Yao’s smug face was the last straw for Lin Kai, who had already been holding back a fire in his belly. He couldn’t take it anymore and swung a punch at him.

“What are you doing? Have you gone mad?!”

Lin Rong’s face changed, and he hurried over to hold Lin Kai back, preventing him from throwing another punch.

“Let him hit me. I should go show Dad. You schemed to sell off your sister for wealth, and now you’re attacking your own brother. Tsk tsk… What a great son Dad has.”

Lin Yao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled at Lin Kai.

Luckily, their mother wasn’t home today. Otherwise, she would have surely protected the youngest son again.

“You just wait… I won’t let this go!”

Lin Kai spat his threat through gritted teeth, then stormed out of the house, furious.

“A fool is still a fool. I thought he had come up with all this by himself.”

Looking at Lin Kai’s departing figure, Lin Yao spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered dismissively.

Lin Rong looked at Lin Yao with a sarcastic expression. Lin Kai was stupid, but you’re not much better.

As soon as you got the recording, you couldn’t wait to tattle. Do you really think Dad is going to favor someone who stabs his own brother in the back?

Lin Rong felt that his opportunity had arrived. As long as he performed well at work, his father would surely favor him.

Elsewhere, after leaving the house, Lin Kai dialed Xu Shaochen’s number.

He was far too reliant on Xu Shaochen. Without Xu telling him what to do, he had no idea how to proceed.
