157: Chapter 157 Meeting Paused, Let's Eat Melon First

"Mom, I..."

Lin Yu opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know what to say.

This time, he really hadn't embezzled any funds; he had genuinely spent all three million.

Yet, he hadn't expected that after all his careful selection, he would still have been deceived.

What else could he do?

Although he had returned to The Jin Family, The Jin Family didn't take him seriously at all.

After they handed the matter to him, they completely ignored him.

At first, he was quite happy, feeling that he finally had a chance to show his capabilities.

But he soon discovered that the waters in the treasure industry were far too deep, and he had no way to buy anything suitable.

It was also very likely that he would be swindled out of all the money in a matter of minutes.

In the end, having no other choice, he used the connections he had when he was the young master of The Lin Family to find a mediocre expert.

Otherwise, those three million would likely have gone down the drain.

Madam Jin looked at Lin Yu's pathetic appearance, felt even more furious, and raised her hand to slap him again!

Her sharp nails grazed Lin Yu's cheek, leaving a red mark.

"Do you still harbor fantasies about The Lin Family, thinking that you will eventually return one day?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Lin Yu jerked his head up, ignoring the burning pain on his face, and explained anxiously.

Madam Jin gave a cold snort, "I think you still have lingering feelings for The Lin Family and intentionally let The Jin Family lose so much face just to do a favor for The Lin Family!"

"Really, no, Mom, I can swear to it."

Hearing these words, Lin Yu was almost in tears.

At this moment, where was his previous arrogance and imperiousness?

Ever since being kicked out by The Lin Family, his life had indeed been difficult, and later, upon returning to The Jin Family, he thought good days were coming.

But he hadn't expected that the family atmosphere of The Jin Family was completely different from The Lin Family.

They even said to his face that they would absolutely not raise a useless waste.

There was no other way; he had been at a dead end at the time and could only do everything possible to please them, hoping they would let him stay in The Jin Family.

He had truly had enough of living alone outside without money.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Mom, my agent contacted me yesterday to notify me that I can join the cast in a few days. You also know that the protagonist of that drama is Lin Ran, so I can strike from her at that time! Don't worry, I will absolutely not let them have an easy time!"

Hearing these words, Madam Jin's anger finally subsided a little.

However, she still didn't look at Lin Yu properly, gave a light snort, and told the driver to drive.

Lin Yu silently clenched his fists.

Next time, he would definitely not fail!

He would definitely make The Lin Family look bad!

And make them realize deeply what a wrong decision it was to drive him away!

...

Ever since Lin Chuge timely passed the news about The Jin Family back to the family group chat, The Lin Family had been secretly discussing it in the group.

Lin Baixuan spoke first: "I think it's better to just make the matter of that charlatan cheating people public. By then, even if The Jin Family doesn't become the target of public criticism, they will definitely be ostracized. Their stock price will definitely be affected, and if they are overwhelmed, they won't be able to pay attention to anything else."

Lin Qingshan expressed disapproval: "According to A-Xiao's previous inner thoughts, it seems our family has offended something. In short, it's that something wants our family to go bankrupt. Even if we deal with The Jin Family this time, I'm afraid other things will appear later to cause trouble for us."

At Lin Qingshan's age, he really didn't understand what the 'Heavenly Path' meant.

Fortunately, he understood the general meaning.

Lin Baixuan thought about it and felt that what her father said also made sense.

But if that were the case, it would mean they would always be in a passive state.

The final result of the discussion was to protect Lin Xiao well and take things as they come!

Lin Xiao was the savior of the whole family!

The discussion in the group was heated, but as the savior himself, he was lying on the sofa nearby, comfortably eating fruit and playing with his phone.

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly.

[Yo, there's gossip next door!]

Everyone was also stunned for a moment.

Then they announced the discussion was paused; gossip first!

The Villa area where they lived could be considered the most luxurious rich district in the capital.

The people living here were all powerful and influential, wealthy and noble.

The gossip about these people would likely be very explosive!

[There's actually a mistress of some listed company CEO living next door. In a while, that CEO's wife is coming to catch them in the act!]

[The coincidence is that The CEO happens to be here too, so when they meet, The CEO will have to protect his little darling!]

Just this?

After hearing this, everyone felt bored.

Among the wealthy families, how many couples were like The Lin Couple who were free-loving and devoted to each other?

Most were arranged marriages, forced to be bound together for the benefit of the two companies.

They just looked okay on the surface; in private, wasn't everyone just playing their own games?

So, what was so strange about catching an affair?

But just at this moment, Lin Xiao's inner thoughts sounded once again.

[Laugh to death, but there's more than one mistress hiding in that house!]

[The remaining six are all hiding!]

Ah?

There are six more?

It wasn't very strange for a wealthy man to find a few mistresses, but raising seven mistresses in the same house was indeed a bit explosive.

That really is quite a wild play...

Everyone was still hesitating about how to go watch the fun openly.

Lin Xiao had already jogged to the yard, moved a ladder, and climbed onto the wall.

At this time, the sound of an argument had already started next door.

The others were anxious and itching to see.

They simply didn't care anymore; anyway, with such a big commotion, it was normal to go over and watch the excitement.

So, led by Su Xiumei, they walked directly from the front door.

Fortunately, the incident happened suddenly, and the gate wasn't even locked.

Several people just snuck in like that.

"Mom, isn't it a bit bad for us to do this?"

Lin Chuge asked in a low voice.

Su Xiumei was silent, trying to find a reasonable excuse.

Just at this moment, the noise in the back yard grew louder.

Su Xiumei had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something, and waved her hand.

"I have a way, follow me!"
