Everyone at the table was shocked by Lin Laoyao's powerful words.
Including Qiu Shou, who regarded Zhao Yin as her idol.
Yes.
She did not agree with Zhao Yin in some aspects and did not like his way of doing things. But it was undeniable that this man was absolutely a powerful and great overlord.
He brought the Zhao family from nothing to today's glory. How many provocations did they encounter during this period? How many life-and-death situations did they encounter?
But looking at the foundation that the Zhao family had now and the influence it had in the world, which so-called wealthy family in Hua Xia could compare with it?
Ye Residence?
Bai family? Or Yan family?
None of them!
Even Qiu Shou looked down on these wealthy families. Would Zhao Yin take them seriously?
Only Lin Laoyao!
Qiu Shou knew that the only one who dared to make a decision with her father was Zhao Yin.
That was why she had never dared to act presumptuously in front of Lin Laoyao. Because her biggest support came from the Zhao family. And it was impossible for Lin Laoyao to lower his head in front of Zhao Yin!
The atmosphere at the table became extremely dull in an instant. There was not the slightest expression on Lin Laoyao's handsome face. He just silently looked at his big brother, Zhao Yin.
"I'm old." Zhao Yin played with the wine glass and said thoughtfully. "I can't control you anymore."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the strong wine in the glass. He stood up and said, "You guys eat, I'll leave first."
He walked to the door, but before he left, he looked back at Lin Laoyao.
His eyes were like torches, like lightning!
"Little brother, remember your identity, remember what you carry." Zhao Yin's thin lips opened slightly, his body exuding an incomparably powerful aura. "Some things can't be changed."
After saying that, he left in a huff. Leaving only the people in the living room who were getting more and more silent.
Seeing her father leave, Qiu Shou also drank the wine in her glass and slowly got up. She nodded slightly to Lin Chaotian and Dong Bijun. "Second uncle, second aunt, goodbye."
After the father and daughter left, Lin Xiaozhu and Dong Bijun carried Xiao An upstairs. He said there was more delicious food upstairs. Xiao An was tactful and did not throw a tantrum.
For a moment, only Xiao Zheng and Lin Laoyao were left in the restaurant. The former felt complicated, and he looked over with a subtle expression. He drank and ate without any expression on his face. He looked no different from how he usually was.
After a long while, Xiao Zheng finally couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Lin. Have you made up your mind? "
After asking, Xiao Zheng's heart almost jumped out of his throat!
Lin Laoyao's attitude tonight surprised Xiao Zheng.
He harbored hope, great expectations!
He should not have wished for the Zhao brothers to fall apart and become enemies. But from Xiao Zheng's point of view, if Lin Laoyao could stand out and fight against Zhao Yin, then this battle would be much easier to fight.
"Decide what?" Lin Laoyao asked without looking sideways.
"Refuse his request …" Xiao Zheng swallowed.
At this moment, he finally understood everyone's evaluation of Lin Laoyao.
That was right.
He was a scary man that could never be guessed. Even he himself would never know what he was thinking or what he planned to do.
Lin Laoyao slowly put down his glass and lit a cigarette. "Put away your little thoughts."
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng's heart suddenly sank.
Put away my little thoughts?
In other words, Lin Laoyao had never thought of refusing Zhao Yin? His action just now was because he was not satisfied with Zhao Yin's attitude?
He took a deep breath and said with a complicated expression, "This battle involves too many people and has too much influence. No matter who wins or loses, it will not benefit the Lin family, the Lin family, or even the people around you. Why do you … "
"The one who died was my father." Lin Laoyao took a deep breath of his cigarette. His eyes, which were as vast as the stars, revealed a resolute look. "Even though I can't remember what he looked like. Even though I can't watch my father die in front of me like he did. "
"But he is my father," Lin Laoyao said word by word. "He was forced to die."
Xiao Zheng let out a breath. Lin Laoyao's answer was similar to Zhao Yin's.
Was this the mentality of a big shot? Was this the mentality that a big shot should have?
They would not make a decision on impulse. Their willpower was deep in their bones. If they wanted to do something, they didn't need the so-called emotion to urge them.
As long as it was what they should do, even if they had to wait for fifty years, or even a century. They would definitely do it!
For example, revenge!
Lin Laoyao could challenge Zhao Yin, but it didn't mean that he would go against the wishes of his family.
Because — he was a member of the Zhao family!
Xiao Zheng fell silent.
He had said what he should say to Zhao Yin and Qiu Shou. The answers of the father and daughter were exactly the same. Now that it was Lin Laoyao, what would change?
Therefore, Xiao Zheng gave up the meaningless persuasion.
"Do you know why I don't like you?" Lin Chaotian's face was calm, but there was a trace of fatigue in his words.
What he had been doing was not wrong.
From the beginning to the end, it was all for his most cherished eldest daughter. Lin Huayin.
Xiao Zheng's strength, Xiao Zheng's loyalty, and Xiao Zheng's righteousness would push him to the opposite side of the Zhao family step by step.
Even the opposite side of Lin Chaotian.
Whatever he wanted to do, Xiao Zheng would definitely stop it. He might even be killed by Zhao Yin!
And Xiao Zheng, wasn't he almost killed by the Zhao family?
This was what Lin Laoyao didn't want to happen. This was also what Lin Laoyao had been worried about.
He would rather Lin Huayin liked a man who was not so outstanding and powerful. He didn't want this outstanding son-in-law to lose his future and even his life because of the hatred in the past.
Yes.
He had long acknowledged Xiao Zheng's identity.
Such an outstanding son-in-law, which father-in-law wouldn't like and hate him?
But Xiao Zheng had taken root in his daughter's heart. His life, his death, his misfortunes and sufferings would affect his daughter's heart and his daughter's future.
Zhao Yin would not let him go.
And he — how could he let him stand in the way?
This was the reality.
This was the reason why Lin Laoyao had lowered his status to persuade Xiao Zheng countless times.
For Lin Huayin, Lin Laoyao had lowered his head to Xiao Zheng several times.
But it turned out that his efforts were meaningless.
"If that's the case." Xiao Zheng suddenly smiled and raised his glass. "Father-in-law, please continue to dislike me."
When Lin Laoyao heard this, a complicated expression flashed across his resolute and dignified face.
Father-in-law?
What a soft-hearted word.
He finally heard it from his stubborn son-in-law.
Slowly raising his glass, Lin Laoyao pursed his lips and said, "Take good care of my grandson. If anything happens to him, I won't let you go. "
