6: From now on, I will sever all ties with the Lin family.

“Hehe…”

Feeling Lin Jianjun’s “disappointed” gaze, Lin Xuan was amused and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“You two are truly a perfect match!”

“If your acting skills were all put into the film industry, wouldn’t you instantly crush those pretty boy actors?”

“Especially you, Lin Hao, kneeling just like that! I really suggest you go into acting; your talent as an actor leaves me in awe! Truly impressive!”

…

Lin Xuan gave a thumbs up, genuinely praising Lin Hao’s self-cultivation as an actor, as he knelt before him, clutching his leg, crying out lines like “If Brother doesn’t forgive me, I’ll stay kneeling forever” and “I’d rather die kneeling here.”

However, this flippant attitude in Lin Jianjun’s eyes completely disheartened him.

At this moment, Lin Jianjun felt a sense of helplessness, a sorrow greater than a dead heart.

At the same time, he definitively made a certain decision in his heart.

“Enough, enough, I give up. You beast are truly beyond saving.”

“Originally, after I planned to hand the company over to Xiao Hao, I was going to give you a chance to assist your younger brother. Alas, you have disappointed me too much.”

“Plus, your reputation in the Demon Capital is already ruined.”

“Why don’t you just settle down and be a live-in son-in-law from now on, and take good care of that comatose girl from the Su Family!”

“As for Lin Corporation, I have decided to completely hand it over to Xiao Hao to inherit.”

…

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao and his mother both gasped, their pupils gleaming with excitement.

Lin Family’s ten billion assets.

Are they finally going to become theirs!!!

Our efforts in pretending to be dutiful son and virtuous wife for so long were not in vain… The only thing that made them slightly uneasy was Lin Xuan, who received this bad news.

Not only was there no resentment or unwillingness on his face, but he suddenly sneered.

“Sure enough, a stepfather is just a stepfather! How incredibly biased! To hand over such a large corporation entirely to an illegitimate child? Is he worthy?”

“Don’t forget, Lin Corporation was built from scratch by Mom! And you’re letting the wild child of your mistress inherit it?”

“Are you not afraid that after Mom finds out, she’ll turn into a vengeful ghost and come back to strangle you at night?!”

…

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jianjun suddenly lifted his head, his bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Lin Xuan, enunciating each word: “Listen carefully, the company was built by me!!! I’ll give it to whoever I want!!!”

His hoarse voice contained boundless chill.

A dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and die.

Lin Jianjun’s biggest taboo was for someone to point out to him that everything he possessed now was built by his deceased wife.

Although that was the truth!

If it hadn’t been for Lin Xuan’s mother providing the startup capital and attracting various investments with her capable personal abilities back then, Lin Corporation would never have achieved its current glory.

But because of this, Lin Jianjun had always been privately mocked as a kept man.

Even though that woman had never looked down on him, a man’s fragile self-esteem still made him hate Lin Xuan’s mother, and even Lin Xuan was implicated.

Now that woman was dead.

He wouldn’t allow himself to live in her shadow any longer… Unfortunately, Lin Xuan didn’t care about any of this and continued to speak to himself.

“Come on! What ability do you have? When my mother was around, the Lin Family was within reach of being a first-tier wealthy family.”

“But ever since you took over, the Lin Family has declined day by day. Now, they can’t even maintain their position as a second-tier family…”

…

Ignoring Lin Jianjun’s murderous gaze, Lin Xuan, with a mocking tone, stated his ultimate goal.

“Forget it, I’m too lazy to argue with you about this. Actually, I don’t care who inherits Lin Corporation.”

“But did you forget? 30% of the company’s shares were left to me by Mom through her will before she passed away.”

“This will was notarized by a law firm, fair and square. As long as I don’t give it up, it can only belong to me.”

…

At the mention of the will, Lin Jianjun and the other two felt a jolt in their hearts.

They had always regarded the company as their possession, and since Lin Xuan hadn’t mentioned it for the past few years, they had subconsciously overlooked it.

Only now did they remember this matter.

“Why are you suddenly bringing this up? You’re still young; holding so many shares isn’t a good thing. How about this!”

“Since you just mentioned it, why don’t you transfer those 30% of shares to my name first?”

“Once you’re capable in the future, I’ll transfer them back to you!”

Lin Jianjun took a deep breath. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke in an undeniable tone.

Beside him, Lin Hao and his mother, who had silently risen, couldn’t help but chime in to support him.

After all, Lin Corporation had long been considered their possession.

How could they allow Lin Xuan to meddle!

“That’s right! Child, you’re still too young. Listen to Mom, let your Daddy hold onto the shares for you first!”

“Hmm, Brother! I think you should listen to Daddy!”

“After all, he’s also doing it for your own good; Daddy wouldn’t possibly harm you! What do you think?”

Looking at the drastically changed, amiable attitudes of Lin Jianjun and the other two, Lin Xuan was instantly provoked into a mocking laugh.

How idiotic must one be to say such shameless words???

He couldn’t help but sneer: “No thanks! To be honest, I’m not interested in the company.”

“So, transferring the shares I hold to your name isn’t out of the question.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianjun’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

In his excellent mood, even his gaze towards Lin Xuan changed from anger to relief.

Just as he was about to pat his eldest son’s shoulder and praise him, he heard Lin Xuan change the subject… “How about this! I won’t take advantage of you. I’ll give you one week to raise capital and buy the shares at market price.”

“Not much, just 3 billion!”

These understated words were like a clap of thunder, resounding in the minds of Lin Jianjun and the other two.

Selling shares?!

3 billion? And that’s not much?!

This would at least drain all of the Lin Family’s visible assets, and they might even have to take out bank loans to raise the amount.

After all, Lin Corporation’s market value is said to be ten billion!

But most of that capital is fixed assets.

The liquid capital on the books is at most around 3 billion.

However, this liquid capital is needed to maintain the company’s various expenses.

If it were all drained at once, and the funds couldn’t be recovered in a short time, the company would be unable to operate normally, facing a crisis of complete paralysis… “Bastard!!!”

“Do you know what you’re saying? You want to sell the shares to me??? I’m your damn Daddy!!!”

Lin Jianjun was furious, wishing he could strangle this rebellious son in front of him.

“I’m telling you! Dream on!!!”

“Forget 3 billion, you won’t even get 30 yuan!!!”

“If you dare to make such an outrageous demand again, believe it or not, I’ll expel you from the Lin Family and disown you, you unfilial son!!!”

…

Facing Lin Jianjun’s threat, Lin Xuan scoffed.

“Fine! Anyway, you have this illegitimate son, that’s enough! Since things have come to this…”

“Then from now on, I will sever all ties with the Lin Family, and we’ll have nothing more to do with each other.”

After speaking, Lin Xuan ignored the stunned gazes of the three Lin Family members and walked directly towards the door.

Just as he twisted the doorknob, preparing to open the door, Lin Jianjun’s exasperated voice came from behind him again.

“Lin Xuan! Think clearly! If you dare to walk out of this door today!!!”

“Then you can forget about ever stepping foot into the Lin Family again in the future! I, Lin Jianjun, will pretend I never had a son like you!!!”

…

But what made Lin Jianjun grit his teeth was… no matter how much he threatened, Lin Xuan didn’t stop.

Instead, he quickened his pace and rushed out of the room, not once looking back, his figure resolute and decisive.

At the silent entrance, only Lin Xuan’s last words echoed.

“3 billion, one week. Mr. Lin, I’ll be waiting.”

At this moment, Lin Jianjun’s heart sank, suddenly feeling empty, as if something irreversible was quietly slipping away…
