Chapter 538: Initial Dust Settling

Lin Family.

In the vast living room, only Lin Wanxue and Lin Changguan were present.

“Dad, I want to inherit the Lin Corporation from you.”

Lin Wanxue took a deep breath and looked at Lin Changguan as she spoke.

Lin Changguan’s hand, holding the teacup, trembled. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Do you even know what you’re saying?”

“I’m fully aware, Dad. I’m your daughter too. Don’t I have the right?” Lin Wanxue asked.

Lin Changguan’s face darkened, “Is Xu Shaochen teaching you this?”

“It has something to do with him, but it’s also my own idea. Dad, do you really think Ah Kai is capable?” At this moment, Lin Wanxue’s thoughts were clearer than ever.

Lin Changguan replied, “What about your second brother? Although he’s also unremarkable, I can still support him for a few more years.”

He didn’t even mention Lin Kai’s name, clearly never considering him as an heir.

“Dad, the second brother is no longer an option,” Lin Wanxue shook her head.

Lin Changguan raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”

“Dad! Dad! You have to stand up for me!”

At that moment, Lin Kai ran in with a face full of grievance and anger.

“Why are you causing such a fuss? What kind of behavior is this!”

Seeing Lin Kai’s demeanor, Lin Changguan was beyond furious.

Lin Kai gritted his teeth and said, “Dad, I never imagined that the second brother would do something so vile. Tonight was my girlfriend’s birthday party and… he actually raped Shanshan. All our friends saw it. I lost all my face!”

Lin Kai put on a heart-wrenching act, clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned pale.

Lin Wanxue quietly shook her head at the scene.

“Slap!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Changguan immediately stood up and slapped Lin Kai across the face, cursing in rage, “Bastard!”

Connecting what Lin Wanxue had just said and recalling that Xu Shaochen was now allied with Lin Wanxue, combined with Lin Kai’s pitiful lack of intelligence,

He could instantly deduce that this matter was Xu Shaochen’s scheme, a plan to take out both Lin Kai and Lin Rong with one move.

As for Lin Kai, this idiot was so clueless that he was helping someone who had sold him out. Lin Changguan was nearly driven mad with anger.

“Dad… Why are you hitting me?” Feeling the burning pain on his face, Lin Kai was bewildered.

Shouldn’t Dad be scolding Lin Rong? Why did he hit me?

“Get out! Get out and continue your studies abroad tomorrow!”

Lin Changguan nearly shouted hysterically.

“Dad, I don’t want to go. I want to stay in Hong Kong.”

Lin Kai’s face changed drastically. It wasn’t easy for him to push Lin Yao and Lin Rong out of the competition. If he left for studying abroad, what would happen if those two returned?

Lin Changguan saw that Lin Kai still hadn’t understood, and felt both anger and sorrow in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, “Even if you don’t want to go, you must go. You fool! You don’t even realize you’ve been used!”

“Ah Kai, just go abroad and don’t worry. I won’t be stingy with your expenses while you’re there.”

Lin Wanxue said calmly.

Lin Kai had a bad feeling, “Sister… What do you mean by that?”

“I also want to be the chairman of the Lin Corporation.” Lin Wanxue said softly, her gaze falling on Lin Changguan.

“Dad, the company’s executives and shareholders are all on my side now. Big Brother and Second Brother are no longer suitable to represent the Lin Family. Ah Kai is incompetent as well. Do you have any other choice besides me?”

“Also, Shaochen said that our first child can take the Lin surname, ensuring that the Lin Family will be carried on by this child.”

Hearing this last part, Lin Changguan was moved. Continuing the Lin Family’s legacy was the most important thing to him.

“Sister… You… What nonsense are you spouting?”

Lin Kai’s face turned pale. He now realized, even in his stupidity, that Xu Shaochen had played him.

While Xu Shaochen used him against his two elder brothers, Lin Wanxue quietly gained the support of the company’s executives.

Tonight, he ended Lin Rong’s career with his own hands, and his own as well.

No one could stop Lin Wanxue now.

Lin Changguan took a deep breath and looked at Lin Kai, “You don’t want to go abroad because you’re eyeing the heir position, aren’t you? Fine, I’ll crush your hopes now.”

“From now on, Xiao Xue will be the heir to the Lin Corporation. Are you satisfied?”

Boom! Although he had already anticipated this result, Lin Kai still felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard it.

The energy drained from his body, and he collapsed weakly onto the sofa, his eyes vacant, speechless for a long time.

“Uncle Lin, don’t worry. I’ll make sure Wanxue has a son soon, so you can be at ease.”

Xu Shaochen walked in with a smile, his steps slow and deliberate.

“Shaochen…”

Lin Wanxue didn’t hesitate, even with Lin Changguan still present. She walked over and leaned affectionately into his arms.

Xu Shaochen held her close, one hand gently stroking her head. Lin Wanxue, like a pampered cat in her master’s arms, displayed a look of contentment.

“Sigh, Young Master Xu, the Xu Corporation is such a huge enterprise. Why are you so fixated on our Lin Family?”

Looking at Xu Shaochen, Lin Changguan’s expression was complicated. He had been tied down by Zheng Gaoxin the entire time. Otherwise, Xu Shaochen would never have succeeded so easily.

Of course, he now realized that Zheng Gaoxin’s efforts to delay him were likely supported by Xu Shaochen.

“Uncle Lin, even the smallest mosquito is still meat. The Lin Family is a big, juicy one at that.”

Xu Shaochen smiled as he spoke. He had a lot of respect for Lin Changguan, but it was unfortunate that he had three useless sons.

Thanks to Zheng Gaoxin for holding off Lin Changguan this time, allowing Xu Shaochen to execute his plan uninterrupted. Otherwise, Lin Changguan would have certainly disrupted it.

“Xu Shaochen! You bastard! You tricked me!”

Lin Kai suddenly rushed to Xu Shaochen and grabbed him by the collar, growling through gritted teeth.

He felt like a fool, played completely by Xu Shaochen.

And to think, he had naively planned to get rid of Xu Shaochen once everything was settled.

But what happened? Xu Shaochen smiled calmly, “Young Master Lin, maintain your composure. Isn’t it better to just be a wealthy second generation in peace? After all, with your intelligence, running a corporation would be too much for you.”

“Xu Shaochen…” Lin Kai was furious beyond belief.

“Enough! Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough already?”

Lin Changguan shouted angrily. Lin Kai gazed at Xu Shaochen with resentment but reluctantly loosened his grip.

Lin Wanxue quickly and attentively tidied Xu Shaochen’s collar and even gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Witnessing this, Lin Changguan felt a sudden sense of irony.

His sons and Xu Shaochen were sworn enemies.

Yet, his daughter was utterly devoted to Xu Shaochen.
