Chapter 441 Absurd

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It was raining outside the window.

The rain fell before dawn and lasted until noon. From the heavy rain to the moderate rain, the rain lightened a little two hours ago and became heavier twenty minutes ago. It knocked on the eaves and windows and landed on the nearby green hills. It was very noisy and distracting.

Xiao Se's autumn aura permeated every part of Nine Continents City, and the Heavenly Duke's Mansion was also filled with autumn aura.

"There's nothing I can do about it..."

"It's not like that. I don't know what that is."

"Please, how can this be …"

In the bedroom on the second floor of Tiangong Mansion, Lin Shuimo lazily got up from his bed and looked out of the window. He said something that even she could not understand.

She had a slight hypoglycemia. When she woke up, she couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality. If she didn't rest well, the situation would be even worse. She was sitting in bed now, muttering to herself incoherently. She looked like a psychopath.

"Shui Mo, what did you say? Did you have a nightmare?"

Inside and outside the bedroom, A gentle knock sounded on the door. Lin Danqing's voice came from outside the bedroom. She did not hear her sister's reply several times in a row. Lin Danqing directly opened the door and walked in. Seeing Lin Shuimo, who looked dull on the bed, she frowned slightly and walked over to sit beside her. She reached out to touch Lin Shuimo's forehead and softly said, "Another nightmare?" You seem to have a fever. Shui Mo, what's wrong with you? Your expression is very bad now. "

"Oh …"

Lin Shuimo blinked his eyes subconsciously. He was stunned for half a minute before he finally came to his senses. "Ah? Sister, why did you come in?"

"I came to call you downstairs for dinner. I heard you talking inside just as I got to the door. I ignored you for a few times and you forgot to lock the door last night. I directly pushed the door open and came in."

As Lin Danqing spoke, he took out a piece of sugar from Lin Shuimo's leather bag and stuffed it into Lin Shuimo's mouth. "After eating and brushing your teeth, dinner is about to start."

"Yes."

Lin Shuimo nodded. His mouth was filled with sugar, but when he woke up, the entire world seemed to have a strong bitter taste.

When she returned from the War God Palace last night, it was already very late. Her family had already rested. Although Lin Xiaocao was no longer in charge of protecting Lin Shuimo, ever since the people of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City saw the strength of the female bodyguards that Lin Xiaocao had arranged for Lin Shuimo, they had no longer been worried about her safety.

As a result, Lin Shuimo returned to his room without alarming anyone. However, after taking a shower and lying on the bed, he could not fall asleep. He tossed and turned until dawn before falling asleep amidst the patter of rain.

Lin Shuimo gently sighed as he watched his sister walk out of the room. Looking at his watch, it was already 11:25 pm. He slowly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He chewed up the hard fruit candy in his mouth. He staggered to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. Looking at the figure in the mirror, Lin Shuimo was stunned.

It was an exceptionally haggard face. Its face was pale, its eyes were dull, and it had obvious black circles under its eyes. Its wet face looked exceptionally miserable. Its long hair was loosely tangled together. The figure in the mirror actually had a sense of dejection that made Lin Shuimo feel extremely unfamiliar to him.

Was this still him?

She subconsciously reached out and touched her face, wondering why she had become like this.

It must be because of last night.

It was because of Lin Xuanyuan.

More precisely, it was because of his cousin.

Was it also because he felt despair towards his family's situation?

Lin Shuimo, who already knew Lin Xuanyuan's identity, was very clear. No matter what, Lin Xuanyuan could not help the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City because of that bloodline. On the contrary, it was precisely because of bloodline that Lin Xuanyuan stepped on the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City at the critical moment after being mixed with some grudges from his early years.

That's right, that's wrong. As an adult, Lin Shuimo no longer wanted to think about this. Everyone had their own thoughts. Even though the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City had countless reasons to do that back then, as the other party, Lin Xuanyuan only needed one reason to ignore the life and death of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City.

More than three years ago, why did Chen Hualou, who had only recently become a tycoon, nominate his father, who had not been very successful in his career, to be the governor of Wu Yue Province in a situation that exceeded everyone's expectations?

Why didn't he extend an olive branch after his father took office?

At that time, it seemed to be something that happened not long after the Battle God assassinated the Emperor in the Dark World.

Chen Hualou's promotion of his father was equivalent to indirectly showing goodwill to Lin Xuanyuan and trying to rope him in.

In those years, although his father did not have real power in Wu Yue, he had finally left the vortex that could easily swallow him up. At the very least, in those two years, his father and the Lin family in Nine Continents City had a relatively stable life, and the family business in Wu Yue had also developed a series of business smoothly.

At that time, even though the clan was in despair, it was still very relaxed on the whole.

And this year, before Lin Xuanyuan entered the capital, Ye Nianlun suggested that his father be the minister of the Imperial Ministry of Officials, and finally become the first deputy director of the Imperial Development Committee. It should also have something to do with Lin Xuanyuan, right?

This was equivalent to taking care of Lin Xuanyuan's mother clan indirectly.

However, neither Chen Hualou nor Ye Nianlun had expected that Lin Xuanyuan's resistance to the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City would be so strong. Thus, after Lin Xuanyuan expressed his attitude, the Wang Clan immediately fell into silence.

His father, who was originally thought highly of by many people, was also in an extremely awkward situation.

It was no exaggeration to say that the fate of the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was entirely within Lin Xuanyuan's mind because of their blood relationship and some grudges from the past.

After learning of Lin Xuanyuan's background, Lin Shuimo no longer hoped that her father would be elected as a State Councilor at this year's plenary session. She no longer even considered the possibility of her father supporting her in the Empire's Development Committee. She only hoped that her father could maintain his current status.

But when he thought of what Lin Xuanyuan had said last night when he was most excited, Lin Shuimo's heart immediately turned cold.

'"He wants the position of director of the Development Committee? Dream on! I won't give him! If I transfer him, I have to transfer him. He's not even worthy of the position of deputy director! Fight him, go to the Central Work Committee? Or the CPPCC? Didn't he always want to enter the Cabinet? How about giving him an investigator at the level of governor? I guarantee that I, Lin Xuanyuan, will never get out of politics!"

Lin Shuimo heard these words as if they were thunder-shocking.

She had been imagining all night, what would happen if the clan really reached that stage?

She was a girl who was not even twenty-four years old, but she still had fear in her heart. Her previous strength was completely shattered under the suppression of the War God King's iron blood that could fall at any time. All of her weaknesses were exposed, but she could not find any solution to the problem.

What made Lin Shuimo's mood even more complicated was that a catastrophe that was akin to a catastrophe was imminent for the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. However, his grandfather and father were still looking for opportunities every day. They did not notice the arrival of the catastrophe, and they did not know the cause of the catastrophe.

Lin Shuimo did not tell Lin Huaiyu about Lin Xuanyuan's background, nor did she tell Lin Congzheng. Once she said this, she would be able to instantly overthrow the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City. She did not know how to speak.

After hesitating for so long, she did not make a final decision.

More than half of the water in the marble basin.

Lin Shuimo lowered his head abruptly and stabbed his head into the basin. He didn't raise his head until he couldn't breathe and gasped for breath.

In the mirror, that haggard face was filled with droplets of water, looking hazy and desolate.

12:00 noon.

Lin Shuimo appeared in the restaurant on the first floor. Her expression was still a little haggard, but she was no longer as miserable as before. On the contrary, her haggard appearance added to her frail beauty.

He expressionlessly greeted everyone in the clan. The Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was much more lively now than at the beginning of the year. Apart from Lin Huaiyu, Lin Huaiqing, who had originally been in the Southern Cloud Province, and Lin Huaiyuan, who was in the Northern Lake Province, were also here.

Their sons used to be high-ranking officials at the level of lieutenant governors. They dismounted a few months ago and the case had been officially closed not long ago. Each of them had been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Now, they were somewhat homeless, so they had the face to stay at the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City.

In addition, although Lin Danqing's relationship with Lin Congzheng hadn't thawed, she knew that her family was in a bad situation during this period of time, so she had come back a little more often. The entire dining table was almost full, and it was bustling with excitement.

Lin Shuimo sat beside Lin Danqing with a cold expression. He looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Do you still have a fever?"

Lin Danqing's palm touched Lin Shuimo's forehead. Then, he frowned and said, "It's still a little hot. Did you take your temperature? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Lin Shuimo, who was still pale, shook his head and forced a smile, "I have a low fever. I've already taken some medicine. It won't be a problem."

Lin Danqing nodded and said no more.

"The girl's body is still a little weak. Shui Mo, it just so happens that your cousin is coming back from Beihu Province recently. I heard that you and your friend worked together to make a

At the dining table, Lin Huaiyuan smiled intentionally or unintentionally. He also had a grandson called Lin Yuetang. If one considered carefully, he should be the only male in the Lin Clan's generation, excluding Lin Shuhua.

The Southern Cloud Branch and the Northern Lake Branch that the Lin Clan had spread out many years ago in Nine Continents City had now begun to reintegrate. Some businesses have also been merged with the Lin Corporation, Of course, these weren't free gifts. Instead, they were sold at a low price. Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Huaiqing had both obtained a sum of money, as well as shares in several branches. However, these two old fellows weren't satisfied yet. After experiencing the initial period of trepidation, the two of them directly focused their gazes on Lin Yuetang.

Lin Huaiyu intentionally or unintentionally said that Lin Yuetang was the only male in the clan. In the future, he would bear a heavy burden. Lin Huaiyu did not say anything. Now, it seemed that the two old fellows were a little anxious. They took Lin Shuimo as their starting point and began to probe directly.

Founded by Lin Shuimo and Populus alba

Not a million.

It was a profit of tens of millions of dollars!

No wonder Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Huaiqing were so jealous that they wanted their heirs to get a piece of the pie in the past. Moreover, starting from a small company would be beneficial to Lin Yuetang taking charge of the entire Lin family in the future.

Therefore, the two old fellows had always felt that taking away the things in Lin Shuimo's hands was a good move.

"There's no need. I can handle the company's affairs for the time being. And even without me, Xiao Bai can still support the overall situation. There are a lot of things to do with his cousin, so there's no need to trouble him."

Lin Shuimo said nonchalantly. She basically didn't have a good impression of these two old fellows in her heart. It wasn't even too much to describe them as wolf ambitions. She had planned to let her grandson usurp the throne only a few months after the merger. Lin Shuimo had never understood the meaning of her grandfather and father leaving them at home.

"Xiao Bai, it's a poplar, right?" That girl from the Bai Clan, I've seen a pretty girl, "I heard that she is still single. I think she and your cousin Yuetang are a good match. If that's the case, Shui Mo, your cousin will probably have to go to your company to help you. Maybe the two young people will have sparks. Shui Mo, it's settled. You can rest for a while and let your cousin adapt to your company. Haha, girl, you can't stand in the way of marriage."

Lin Huaiyuan laughed heartily.

Blocking marriage?

Lin Shuimo sneered in his heart. He had never heard of giving up his career in order not to stop others from getting married. What kind of logic was this?

"Bai Yang likes Lin Xuanyuan," she said coolly. "A few of our businesses were even given to our company directly from the War God Palace. Of course, Cousin Yuetang is also very attractive. He can compete with Lin Xuanyuan."

Lin Huaiyuan's smile suddenly stopped, his expression extremely awkward.

Fighting for a woman with Lin Xuanyuan?

Unless you're tired of living, who would dare to fight?

Lin Huaiyuan blushed, his face burning with anger. He hesitated for a long time, unable to say anything.

In the Lin Clan of the Nine Continents City, the words Lin Xuanyuan were like a mountain, so powerful that it made people despair.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We have urgent matters to attend to this afternoon. Let's eat first."

Lin Huaiyu said calmly.

"Eat."

Lin Congzheng's words were even more concise.

Lin Shuimo ignored the two old fantasies and lowered her head to eat. Naturally, she knew what was important in her grandfather's mouth.

In a few hours, the Emperor's special plane will arrive at the Nine Continents City International Airport.

At that time, many great figures would go to pick up the plane. Under the situation where the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City was almost completely rejected or even suppressed by the War God Palace, the Emperor's trip to the capital was undoubtedly another opportunity for the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City.

As long as he obtained the Emperor's approval, it wouldn't be too late.

Moreover, the reason why Grandpa was so optimistic that the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City could obtain the Emperor's approval was related to his father's several promotions in the past few years.

From Wu Yue Province to the Empire Development Committee.

They were nominated by the two giants of the royal family, but the two giants did not show too much preference for Lin Congzheng.

In Grandpa's opinion, perhaps there was only one thing, and that was that his father had received the Emperor's personal attention, which was why the two giants had nominated Lin for politics.

Lin Shuimo had even thought of this idea before.

But now that she knew the truth, she could not say anything.

Get the Emperor's personal attention?

Lin Shuimo smiled bitterly. Such an idea was simply ridiculous!
