Just like how Brother Ah Zheng was feeling now, he would occasionally feel lonely as if he was at the top.
Really, he was not joking, he was really lonely.
He was still so young, but so rich. In the business world, he was invincible and fought several classic battles. In martial arts, he was successful and had never lost to any strong person.
On the contrary, the number of strong people who died tragically in his hands was uncountable.
He was already so outstanding — how could he not be lonely?
"Lonely as snow …" Xiao Zheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his pockets, overlooking the people under his feet.
Must Lin Laoyao stand in front of the window every day and sigh of loneliness?
For more than twenty years, no opponent could make him feel threatened. Apart from the encirclement and suppression at the beginning, Lin Laoyao's path was too smooth. Of course, that was only what outsiders thought.
Did Lin Laoyao really not experience challenges and threats? For more than twenty years, the economic structure had changed several times, and Lin Laoyao, as always, led the trend and stood on the bridge. This was not something that could be achieved by luck. Just in the last five or ten years, how many once all-powerful big shots were unable to recover?
So — Xiao Zheng firmly believed that Lin Laoyao must have felt lonely. And more than once.
Now, with the appearance of Ye Fenghuang, did it inject vitality into Lin Laoyao's life?
One was once the empress. The other was now the Demon King at noon …
They were really a match made in heaven.
Xiao Zheng came to Lin Huayin's office after work and said with some complexity, "I will accompany mother-in-law back to the Lin family tonight."
Lin Huayin's hand that was signing the contract paused and looked up to ask, "What does she mean?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded and smiled bitterly. "Actually, I don't really want to go. But mother-in-law ordered, how can I dare to disobey? "
"Go." Lin Huayin said flatly. "At this stage, it is not suitable for them to be alone."
"I think so too." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips.
Be it public or private, Lin Laoyao and Ye Fenghuang would always feel awkward when they were alone. Moreover, their current relationship was not simple. Not only were they enemies, but they were also once husband and wife.
If something really happened, it would not be easy to clean up the mess.
However, on the contrary, Xiao Zheng's worries were only in his heart. Regardless of whether it was Lin Laoyao or Ye Fenghuang, in terms of wisdom and skill, which one of them wasn't stronger than him?
It was really not up to him, a junior, to run around in circles.
After work, Xiao Zheng first met up with his mother-in-law before heading to the Lin family.
On the way, Xiao Zheng nervously asked, "Mother-in-law, what is the main topic of this dinner gathering?"
Since it was a private gathering, they couldn't possibly be so insistent on work, right? As long as it was not work, Xiao Zheng believed that with their intelligence, they would definitely not have a violent conflict.
Ye Yuhua gently smiled and asked, "What do you want us to talk about?"
Xiao Zheng scratched his head and smiled bitterly. "How would I know?"
"I don't know either." Ye Yuhua smiled. "He is Huayin's father, and I am her mother. There will always be some common topics to talk about. "
The more Xiao Zheng listened, the more confused he became.
Could it be that this dinner gathering was only for Lin Huayin?
He knew that Ye Fenghuang did not want to say too much, so he did not ask anymore. He just sat quietly on the chair.
The car had just arrived at the Lin family's door when Xiao Zheng saw Lin Laoyao standing in front of the door. As always, he was dressed in a suit, and as always, he was handsome.
Lin Laoyao was not young anymore.
But the domineering aura he exuded was awe-inspiring.
If this man did not struggle with the issue of position, he would definitely be a role model for my generation.
Xiao Zheng knew that Lin Laoyao personally stood at the door to welcome him was definitely not because of him. So when he got off the car, he was very humble, slightly behind his mother-in-law, playing the role of half an attendant.
"Come in. Dinner is prepared with your favorite food. "Lin Laoyao's dignified face revealed a smile. It was a smile from the bottom of his heart. Xiao Zheng stared blankly.
Ye Yuhua looked up at Lin Laoyao, her face contented.
As ex-husband and wife, their conversation and interaction at this moment was obviously too calm. There was no smoke and fire. But as enemies in the business world, their behavior was too strange.
Xiao Zheng only watched silently from the side. He didn't express his opinion, nor did he join in.
"Huayin is not willing to come?" Lin Laoyao led the two into the house, seemingly asking casually.
Xiao Zheng was startled at first, then immediately nodded and said, "She was a little delayed by work."
Lin Laoyao smiled slightly, not asking further.
But just this one question warned Xiao Zheng of a very important issue.
No matter how Lin Huayin handled the relationship between father and daughter, her position in the Lin family was unshakable. If one day she took the initiative to throw herself into the arms of the Lin family in the future, who in this world could stop her from moving forward?
No wonder even Shang Yao and other rich second and third generations did not dare to overstep in front of Lin Huayin. There was indeed a big gap in the level.
After Xiao Zheng entered the house, he found that there was only Lin Laoyao in the Lin family. Even Dong Bijun, servants, and Lin Xiaozhu, who should have gotten off work, were not there.
Could it be that today's dinner was cooked by Lin Laoyao himself?
Thinking of the first time they met, Lin Laoyao said that the dinner was all mother-in-law's favorite.
Didn't this prove that tonight's food was really made by Lin Laoyao?
The dignified Lin Laoyao. How could he cook by himself?
Looking at the whole world, except for Ye Fenghuang, perhaps no one else had such treatment?
The three people sat down. There was no white wine on the table, but there was a bottle of red wine. It was not a particularly expensive wine. Even the dishes were relatively simple. They were all dishes that went well with rice.
"Eat something first." Lin Laoyao picked up the bowl and chopsticks. "It's been a while. If you don't eat it, it will be cold."
Ye Fenghuang shook her head and said, "Drink a sip first."
After that, she picked up the wine glass and gently shook it a few times: "There are dishes without wine, there is no meal."
For a moment, Xiao Zheng felt that his mother-in-law had really returned to the period of Ye Fenghuang. That demeanor, that look, where was the appearance of a kind nun …
Lin Laoyao smiled and nodded: "Alright."
The three people raised their glasses and drank up the red wine in the glass. Xiao Zheng was responsible for pouring the wine. The ex-husband and wife began to eat and chat in a very relaxed and gentle pace.
And the first topic that they talked about attracted all of Xiao Zheng's attention.
"I have made a will." Lin Laoyao suddenly said.
"Well." Ye Fenghuang nodded slightly and did not feel surprised. "It's about time."
"I don't intend to keep it a secret. In any case, it's not something worth keeping secret. "Lin Laoyao smiled and took the wine glass that Xiao Zheng handed to him. "But I still want to ask for your opinion."
"I have no opinion." Ye Fenghuang shook her head. "The money is yours, and the Lin family is also yours. I have no right to propose. "
"But the daughter is yours and mine." Lin Laoyao slowly said. "My idea is, there is no need to add a note to the will. First, her Xin Ao has a very promising future. In the future, she may not be under the Lin family. Second, I don't want to force her. "
