Lin Xuanyi went through the discharge procedures on the same day and made proper arrangements for Dong Yuejun to be cared for around the clock.
In the evening, he returned to the Lin family's mansion, just in time for dinner.
Standing beside the rectangular table were four middle-aged men and two young men, all bowing and waiting for the elders to take their seats.
The Lin family of the ancient tribe is very particular about dining. Women are not allowed to serve at the table. They can only eat in the kitchen.
Of course, young ladies like Lin Pingxuan, before they got married, could eat at the same table as their elders, but they were ranked last.
At this time, Lin Xuanyi's grandfather slowly walked into the dining room with the support of two girls and sat at the main seat facing the door.
One of the girls was Lin Xuanxuan. When she saw Lin Xuanyi coming back, she winked at him quietly and shook her head.
Lin Xuanyi pretended he didn't see it and directly pulled up a chair and sat down.
When Lin Tanzhi saw this, his face suddenly darkened: "Xuan Yi, where are your rules?"
The other middle-aged people at the long table all frowned, but no one dared to scold him.
"Haha... Frankly, don't be angry, Xuan Yi seems to be in a bad mood." The white-haired old man waved his hand with a smile and asked quietly: "Xuan Yi, have you encountered any trouble?"
"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson is doing very well." Lin Xuanyi felt a sense of depression coming from all directions, and his mind was suddenly shaken, and his face was as heavy as water.
Lin Xuanyi's grandfather, named Lin Mokun, is a master-level super master. He looks gentle when he smiles, but he is actually very imposing.
"Xuan Yi, although our Lin family is an ancient tribe, we have also kept pace with the times. We now value democracy and openness. If you have anything, you can put it on the table and discuss it with us." Lin Mokun said with a smile.
"Let's eat first." Lin Xuanyi replied proudly.
"Xuan Yi, you are so unruly!" Lin Tanzhi got angry and started to slap the case.
Lin Xuanyi shook his head and smiled, "Dad, since you and grandpa have passed on the position of head of the Lin family to me, it doesn't matter if I say a few words, right?"
"Huh?" Lin Tanzhi's eyebrows widened, "Xuan Yi, do you know what you are talking about? The reason why I let you be the head of the family is to test you..."
Before Lin Tanzhi could finish speaking, Lin Xuanyi interrupted him, "I wonder how I have done in your eyes over the years?"
Lin Xuanyi put on a detached and tough posture, which made everyone in the Lin family look askance.
They didn't understand how their eldest nephew, who was always polite to his seniors, suddenly behaved like this!
Lin Tanzhi frowned and nodded slightly: "Xuan Yi, I admit that you have done a great job and you have the responsibility of the head of the family. But..."
Lin Xuanyi interrupted his father again.
"No buts! Grandpa, uncles, you should know very well how much I have sacrificed for our Lin family over the years!
This ancestral house was confiscated by the government decades ago, and I bought it back with my money! Otherwise, you would still be living in dilapidated old houses!
It can be said that without me, Lin Xuanyi, the ancient Lin clan would have long existed in name only!"
Lin Xuanyi’s actions were not without purpose.
He is a genius in business and has been interested in stocks and securities since he was a child.
Even though the ancient Lin clan has a profound heritage, most of it is inherited from martial arts. Even when they were poor, they still had enough to eat.
More than ten years ago, the Lin brothers even put aside their dignity to work on construction sites in order to make ends meet.
Lin Xuanyi is different from them, he has a natural business sense.
When he was thirteen years old, he privately sold the last antique in his family and obtained a considerable sum of money, and then entered the stock market.
At the age of sixteen, he began to close the market and release stocks, collecting hundreds of millions of funds.
At the age of eighteen, he caught up with the spring of real estate, and his assets of hundreds of millions increased dozens of times.
After that, Lin Xuanyi entered university and worked steadily, increasing his wealth from 10 billion to 20 billion, and then from 20 billion to 60 billion.
He almost single-handedly brought the ancient Lin clan from the brink of destruction to its peak.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Xuanyi graduated from university, Lin Mokun discussed with Lin Tanzhi and passed the position of head of the family to Lin Xuanyi.
Lin Xuanyi took over as the head of the Lin family. He did not make any public announcements, but became increasingly low-key.
Furthermore, the Lin family has been ups and downs for half a century, and other big families only know their names but don't know the actual situation. Therefore, Lin Xuanyi has built a huge foundation for the Lin family, and few people know how the Lin family is doing.
Until five years ago, there was a business crisis in Binhai.
The Association of Foreign Enterprises and the International Chamber of Commerce are trying to invade the Binhai market and suppress the Binhai economy.
At that time, Lin Xuanyi had just graduated from college, and he resolutely stood up on behalf of the Lin clan to turn the tide.
Not only did he drive away those foreign chambers of commerce, he also ate up their huge capital to replenish the Binhai market.
Suddenly, the ancient Lin clan became famous.
But the business war at that time only lasted a few days and then died down, and no one could figure out what happened.
It wasn't until all the foreign companies with evil intentions withdrew that the big family realized that the hidden ancient clan in Binhai had not been lost in the long river of history, but had become increasingly powerful.
It's just that the ancient Lin clan came and went in a hurry, and they were immersed in it quickly.
Those big families didn't know that the ancient Lin clan had actually penetrated all walks of life in Binhai, but they didn't identify themselves clearly.
Lin Xuanyi's prestige in the Lin family was established at that time.
Over the past few years, Lin Xuanyi has always behaved very well, respecting his elders, loving his children, and following the rules.
However, everyone never expected that Lin Xuanyi would be so strong today and not even take Lin Mokun and Lin Tanzhi into consideration.
They are the predecessor and the last head of the family. In ancient times, they were the wife emperor and the emperor emperor!
The uncles in the Lin family are actually very powerful. If you take any one of them and release them, they can kill a large number of martial arts masters in an instant.
However, their temperaments have long been smoothed by the hard life, and now that Lin Xuanyi has returned with force, they feel extremely fearful.
Lin Xuanyi's eyes were blazing, he stared at his father and grandfather, and said in a deep voice: "You two, to put it bluntly, the Lin family can live without you, but it can't live without me."
"presumptuous!"
This time, not only Lin Tanzhi, but also Lin Mokun couldn't help but become angry.
"Xuan Yi, do you want to be disobedient?"
"No!" Lin Xuanyi shook his head, "I just want to speak clearly to my grandfather and father.
I have paid enough for the Lin family, but you actually want to threaten me with the person I like.
Sorry, there is absolutely no way I can compromise!
It's your business to look down on her. In my eyes, she is a priceless treasure, even more important than the Lin family..."
"Shut up, I think your wings are stiff!"
Lin Tanzhi was furious and pushed Lin Xuanyi with a palm.
Lin Xuanyi couldn't resist his father's huge force, and immediately flew out, hitting the wall hard with a loud "clang" sound.
When the other brothers of the Lin family saw this, they quickly offered words of advice.
Lin Pingxuan and another girl turned pale with fright, and quickly ran to Lin Xuanyi and helped him up.
Lin Xuanyi spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up slowly while holding his hand in severe pain.
He suddenly realized how Ye Fan felt at the beginning. This kind of heroic spirit that would not hesitate to be the enemy of the world for the sake of his lover requires a heavy price to be paid.
Lin Mokun sat on the main seat and looked down at Lin Xuanyi indifferently.
"Xuan Yi, you have been carried away by that woman. Let this matter be put aside for now. We will talk about it when you calm down.
Xuanxuan, Momo, help your eldest brother to his position, it’s rare for our family to get together, let’s eat first.”
At this time, they are still talking about eating, which shows how rigid Lin Mokun's thinking is.
Lin Tanzhi listened to his father's words and no longer pursued Lin Xuanyi's rudeness. He asked the women in the kitchen to bring the food and started the banquet on the spot.
Lin Xuanyi looked coldly at his mother and aunts who were panicking, and suddenly a deep sadness surged in his heart.
What era are we in now, and why do we still stick to the old-fashioned way of preparing our homes?
The hidden ancient clan has been passed down to this day and has witnessed the ups and downs of history. Can't we still see through it?
Lin Xuanyi shook his head unwillingly, turned around and walked out.
"Xuan Yi, if you leave this door, you will no longer be a member of my Lin family!" Lin Mokun lost any joy in his face when he saw that his grandson was determined to challenge the family rules.
Lin Xuanyi looked up to the sky and smiled, "No, no, I want to see what you can do to us!"
"There are many things we can do." Lin Mokun crossed his arms, his gray beard trembling slightly, "Xuan Yi, you are a smart man and will not make a decision that you will regret.
The Lin family has thousands of years of family history, and there has never been a shortage of unruly people like you. But in the end, they all knelt in front of the ancestral hall and repented!
Let me tell you, this is the inheritance of my ancient Lin clan, and no one can break it!"
Lin Tanzhi took the conversation and shouted coldly: "Xuan Yi, you'd better think carefully...whether that woman is worth breaking with my Lin family!"
"She's worth it!" Lin Xuanyi replied firmly.
"It may be worth living, but what if you die?" Lin Tanzhi said again.
"You!" Lin Xuanyi was shocked and clenched his fists suddenly.
"Xuan Yi, not everyone can enter our Lin family. If that woman has the temerity to have sex with you, she will die in the end!"
Lin Tanzhi said in a deep voice: "Besides, that woman is an abandoned wife and has no qualifications to join my Lin family. I will never allow her to step into our Lin family!"
"Dad, you are forcing me!"
Lin Xuanyi took a deep breath and clenched his fists with mottled blood.
"Xuan Yi, I am not forcing you." Lin Mokun's expression moved slightly and he whispered: "He is doing it for your own good, and also for that woman's good!
The inheritance of my Lin family is not something ordinary women can bear. I will tell you about this matter slowly in the future!"
Lin Xuanyi heard something in his grandfather and father's words, and immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and sat back on the chair next to the long table.
When Lin Mokun saw his grandson coming back, he couldn't help but smile and arranged for everyone to have dinner.
After eating, Lin Mokun and Lin Tanzhi called Lin Xuanyi to the study. The three of them talked for more than an hour, and Lin Xuanyi walked out with a dark face.
As soon as she arrived downstairs, Lin Pingxuan hurriedly pulled Lin Xuanyi to the corner and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what did grandpa and dad say? Will they really kill Sister-in-law Ye for the sake of family rules?"
"They won't."
Lin Xuanyi was devastated, shook his head gently, murmured and walked out.
However, Lin Pingxuan heard his whisper and her face suddenly turned pale.
