"However, before I announce my successor, I have something to do for him to make up for the guilt I felt towards him all these years!"
Lin Huarong continued. Then, he tilted his head slightly and looked at Lin Aoqing.
"Tsk tsk, Master Lin has been unconscious for more than ten years. All these years, Lin Aoqing has been the one supporting the Lin Family. Looks like Master Lin wants to give up his position to him."
"His hard times have come to an end. From an abandoned child to the head of the Lin Family, he will live a life of luxury …"
"Looks like I have to suck up to Lin Aoqing …"
At this moment, the gazes of the surrounding guests were focused on Lin Huarong and Lin Aoqing.
"Father."
Although Lin Aoqing was confused, at this moment, Master Lin almost gave up the position of head of the Lin Family to him. Naturally, he was extremely excited. Immediately, he bowed and said, "Father, you are old but strong. Please continue to be the head of the Lin Family for a few more years so that I can rest more …"
"Haha."
The corners of Lin Huarong's mouth curled into a sneer, and he said, "Aoqing, how about I ask you a question?"
"I will listen to father's teachings!"
After cursing this old man in his heart for talking so much nonsense, Lin Aoqing still spoke with a sincere face.
"Say, if there was a rich man who adopted a poor orphan because he didn't have any children, but later on, that rich man had a son of his own, this should have been something worth celebrating. However, that adopted orphan became jealous and resented him from then on. However, he kept himself hidden and schemed for many years. Not only did he use a conspiracy to make the rich man drive his own son out of the family, but he also poisoned the rich man, wanting to take control of the rich man's family …"
Lin Huarong seemed to be talking about something unrelated to him. His tone was frighteningly calm.
Hearing his words, many guests were filled with anger and cursed loudly.
Then, Lin Huarong paused and suddenly asked Lin Aoqing, "Aoqing, if it were you, how would you deal with that orphan?"
"I …"
At this moment, Lin Aoqing did not have the slightest bit of joy. His face was covered in cold sweat. His eyes kept darting around as if he was thinking of a solution.
"This kind of person is worse than a dog. He should be killed!"
It was unknown who shouted this, but the crowd immediately boiled over.
"Yes, that kind of person should be executed directly!"
"I'm afraid it's too easy for him to be killed directly. In my opinion, we should throw him into a snake's nest and let the snakes and insects bite him to death!"
"I must make him suffer a fate worse than death …"
Although the bad guys in the world were detestable, the most detestable ones were the ungrateful ones.
"Brother Lin, today is your seventieth birthday and I have yet to give you my present. I hope you will accept it!"
At this moment, Li Yuanfei's voice suddenly rang out, causing many people to frown.
They didn't quite understand why he would choose to give a gift at this juncture.
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
However, to everyone's surprise, not only was Lin Huarong not angry, he actually seemed a little excited, and even spoke to Li Yuanfei with a sincere expression of gratitude.
At this moment, some people sensed that something was amiss.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a middle-aged man from the Li Family took off the mask on his face and walked out. However, what puzzled many people was that this middle-aged man did not have any precious gift in his hands. He just walked straight towards Lin Huarong.
"What is the Li Family trying to do?"
"Is Li Yuanfei planning to cause trouble at this moment?"
"Mocking Elder Lin like this, I'm afraid it will cause a war between the two families!"
Many guests began to whisper to each other. However, they soon realized that after this middle-aged man walked out, Elder Lin's body actually trembled slightly. In his eyes, there were actually pools of old tears.
As the middle-aged man walked closer, many people could clearly see his appearance.
Some of the older generation's people were instantly stunned.
"Eh, why does this person look so similar to Elder Lin?"
"He … He is Lin Aotian, Elder Lin's biological son!"
"What? He is Elder Lin's biological son? Why haven't I heard of him before? "
"It is said that more than ten years ago, Lin Aotian made a mistake and was chased out of the Lin Family in a fit of anger by Elder Lin. Since then, there has been no news of him …"
In the midst of the discussion, this middle-aged man's identity was revealed.
Many people's hearts trembled as they could not help but recall the story that Elder Lin had just told them.
He adopted an orphan. Lin Aoqing, wasn't she an orphan adopted by Grandpa Lin?
Wasn't the one who was chased out of the Patriarch's house, Lin Aotian, Elder Lin's biological son?!
Using poison to murder was even more in line with Elder Lin's situation.
Everyone in Xuanyun City knew that he had been bedridden for more than ten years.
Connecting all these dots, the hearts of the crowd could not help but tremble violently … Could it be that the despicable and shameless orphan that Elder Lin spoke of, who made them so angry, was Lin Aoqing?!
Gradually, the entire banquet hall quietened down. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Lin Aotian, who was walking in front of Old Master Lin.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Huarong and Lin Aotian looked at each other. Both of them were somewhat emotional, and their eyes sparkled.
"Father!"
Lin Aotian knelt down on both knees and respectfully kowtowed three times to Lin Huarong.
"Child, I've wronged you all these years!"
Lin Huarong's hands trembled slightly as he helped Lin Aotian up. A streak of old tears finally rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.
At this moment, Lin Aoqing, who had his head lowered, had a steely expression on his face. His eyes were filled with rage and murderous intent.
Following which, he gave a look to Lin Shiyun, who was not far away, many people began to gather.
Although their movements were not big, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became somewhat tense after Lin Aotian knelt down.
"Get up, the sons of the Lin Family do not kneel so easily!"
After Lin Huarong helped Lin Aotian up, he looked at Lin Aoqing and slowly spoke with a tone of disgust and coldness. "Lin Aoqing, do you want me to do it personally, or do you want to settle it yourself?!"
Following his words, the expressions of many guests became interesting.
Would Lin Aoqing obediently allow himself to be captured, or would he completely shed all pretense of cordiality and fight to the death?
It should be known that for more than ten years, the entire Lin Family was under Lin Aoqing's control. After more than ten years of development, Elder Lin's authority had actually been stripped away long ago. The only thing left of Elder Lin were his loyal subordinates.
