In fact, Lin Mengran's answer did not go beyond Lin Zichen's expectations. He knew his sister. Lin Mengran was not a person who played with feelings. He would not start casually, and of course, he would not give up easily.
But it was absolutely impossible for him to reveal his mission to pray to the Buddha. It was a secret, so he clearly had a good reason, but for a moment he seemed weak...
Finally, he took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "If you can't do it, just do it!"
"Forcibly?" Lin Mengran chuckled when he heard this, "Zichen, why on earth is this? I will definitely respect your opinion. After all, you are my brother, the person closest to me, and my marriage must be yours."
Blessings, but you must give me a reason!"
"I can't give it to you!" Hearing this, Lin Zichen was really troubled and upset. He stared at Lin Mengran and shouted loudly.
But soon, he realized his gaffe and said: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to yell at you, it's just..."
"That's enough Zichen, I know you are capable, even very capable, but don't forget that I am your sister. I respect your opinion. Should you also respect my choice?"
Lin Mengran couldn't control it anymore. She pushed her hair back hard, took a deep breath, and leaned on the back of the chair.
Seeing Lin Mengran getting anxious, Lin Zichen also paid attention to his emotions. After all, Lin Mengran was not wrong in this matter. She was just an unmarried woman. What was wrong with falling in love? Lin Zichen had no reason to lose his temper with her.
"Sister, don't get excited. I hope you believe me. I am your brother and I really think about you." Lin Zichen lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette.
"Think about me? Zichen, my sister has been working hard for the Lin Group for so long. She is really tired. Even if I fall in love, I have never missed work. Do you know? I need a shoulder, and none of you can replace it.
Yes, if you really think about me, can you consider my feelings?"
As she spoke, Lin Mengran's eyes were filled with tears. Deep down in her heart, she had her own personality and opinions, but the image of this younger brother in her heart was extremely tall. Faced with this matter, she was actually in the same tangle as Lin Zichen.
.
But in the end, Lin Mengran still decided to choose what she chose. After all, it determined her own happiness, and no one could pay for her.
Lin Zichen nodded: "I understand, but I hope you know, sister, that I really have a good reason, but there are some things I can't tell you."
Lin Zichen was really anxious, and praying to Buddha was on his lips, so he would definitely be able to persuade Lin Mengran. He knew that Lin Mengran was absolutely clear-headed in the face of right and wrong, but he couldn't say it after all...
"Zi Chen, I am your sister, what can't you tell me? Do you have any secrets in front of me?"
Looking at Lin Mengran's face, Lin Zichen even felt a little guilty. What he was about to do would definitely end his sister's happiness, but... he had no choice. It was better to cut the knot quickly than to make his sister heartache for a long time.
"Sister, don't ask. I said I can't say it, so I definitely can't say it. But I will definitely not agree with this matter. I am not telling you my opinion now, but I am telling you that you and Jiang Zhongyan absolutely cannot
Together!"
At the end of the sentence, Lin Zichen raised his head and looked at Lin Mengran with resolute eyes. Obviously, this decision could no longer be changed.
Lin Mengran looked directly at Lin Zichen, and she suddenly realized that after this period of separation from Zichen, Zichen had changed a lot, even more obviously than before, almost making her feel strange.
The aura exuded by Lin Zichen made Lin Mengran feel that he was superior, and it was this feeling that aroused the resistance in Lin Mengran's heart!
"Absolutely not? Lin Zichen, can you put away your condescending attitude? Do you still know that I am your sister? I know that you may be able to talk to anyone in your life, but to me, Lin Mengran
, you can’t do it!”
Lin Mengran's voice immediately rose, obviously defending his choice with all his strength.
"I can't do it? Lin Mengran, I'm also telling you, you and Jiang Zhongyan can't make it happen, and I, Lin Zichen, will never let you do it!" Lin Zichen couldn't hold it back any longer. On one side was his sister's emotions;
His rationality and this choice made him completely lose his patience.
"Huh, let's wait and see!" Lin Mengran turned around and said with her back to Lin Zichen.
"You..." Lin Zichen was so angry that his breathing quickened, and he said, "Okay, we'll see, sister, I hope you understand my position in the Lin family. Although you are the chairman of the Lin Group, I can stop you.
All positions!”
Lin Zichen was right. Although Lin Mengran was the head of the group, it was the Lin family that determined the lifeline of the group. Lin Zichen's status in the Lin family was obviously unquestionable, and he was the candidate for the future head of the family.
Therefore, if Lin Zichen is willing, he can recommend a new chairman to Lin Ruijiang at any time, or even serve as himself.
However, Lin Mengran did not back down from Lin Zichen's threat. She looked at Lin Zichen with a sneer and nodded immediately.
"Okay, brother, sister, thank you for your honesty, but I hope you know that I, Lin Mengran, will not be frightened by anything. If you want, I can walk out of the Lin Group at any time, but you have to interfere with my happiness, huh
, you can’t do it!”
With that said, Lin Mengran opened the car door and walked out. Lin Zichen shouted: "Sister, have you forgotten the Nanshui Wu family? Do you still remember that I stopped you from being with Wu Xuejun? I have my reasons, and I really do it for you.
good!"
Lin Mengran looked back at him and said with a smile: "Two different things!"
After saying that, she took a taxi on the side of the road and left without looking back.
Lin Zichen sighed and immediately dialed Lin Mengran's phone number, but the phone was already turned off.
Lin Zichen punched the steering wheel of the car, and with a click, the Bentley's steering wheel cracked open, and the anti-theft alarm also went off...
"It seems that we really need to find out this matter as soon as possible, Jiang Shouwen, I want to see how long your old fox's tail can be hidden!"
With that said, Lin Zichen directly sacrificed his soul and entered the Jiang family villa, hoping to find some clues, or... he could find the Jade Buddha Head.
Entering the Jiang family again, Lin Zichen was already familiar with a lot. This was also the result of coming in before. If he had used his soul to enter the villa the first time, he would definitely not be as familiar as he is now.
He quickly entered the main courtyard behind the garden, and immediately used his senses to find Jiang Shouwen's room. When he entered Jiang Shouwen's library, he was reading a book at the table.
Lin Zichen waited patiently for a while and found that the old man really liked Chinese studies. He would even record books about Chinese studies from time to time.
Jiang Shouwen was alone in the study now, and it was obviously difficult to find out any information. Lin Zichen thought for a while and simply went to see Jiang Zhongyan. At least if he had any suspicion, he would be more sure to stop his sister from being with him.
Together.
When Lin Zichen found Jiang Zhongyan's study, he was talking on the phone. After listening to a few words, Lin Zichen knew that he was talking to Lin Mengran.
Lin Zichen walked closer, hoping to hear the voice on the phone.
"Okay, okay, good boy, stop crying. Why are you arguing with your brother? He is still a child." Jiang Zhongyan said while drawing aimlessly on the paper with a pen.
"Child? He's almost 20 and he's still a child? Huh, why is he so unwilling to give me face? He didn't say anything about the trouble at the Jiang family, but he still complained about me when he went out. Who did I offend?" Lin Mengran cried.
Hearing this, Lin Zichen sighed, hey, it seems that his sister is really angry this time. If it turns out that this matter really has nothing to do with the Jiang family, I'm afraid he will have to comfort his sister.
"But that's right, Meng Ran, your brother is really weird. I've met a lot of you Lin family members, including the old head of the family. They are all amiable. Why is he so angry?" Jiang Zhongyan said with a smile.
"Humph, you are so self-righteous when you have some skills. I, Lin Mengran, don't do this. I'm so angry. How could I have such a younger brother!" Lin Mengran complained.
Jiang Zhongyan said: "Haha, okay, okay, don't be angry anymore, it's not worth it for this little thing. Meng Ran, what does your brother do?"
Although Jiang Zhongyan knew about Mr. Lin in Tianzhou now, it was mainly his father and Peng Hu who told him. He wanted to hear what Lin Mengran had to say. After all, with her understanding, she should be able to describe Mr. Lin more clearly.
"This... I actually don't know. I only know that many people call him Mr. Lin, and when our Lin family came to Lanshan, it was also Zichen's relationship. When he arrived in Lanshan, the largest local family would treat him as a distinguished guest."
Hearing these words, Lin Zichen shook his head. He was such a naive sister. She was so big-mouthed and said everything. If Jiang Zhongyan was hostile to him now, then it would undoubtedly be equivalent to giving information to the other party.
"Oh? Haha, such a legend?" Jiang Zhongyan smiled, but in his heart he was thinking that it was really difficult to understand that a young man under twenty years old could be treated as a distinguished guest by so many big families.
However, the most likely possibility is that he was a bluff. Maybe even helping Lu Chenghao rise to power was fabricated, but after spreading rumors, many big bosses in the underground world respected him.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore, Zhongyan, I'm at the hotel by the sea, come find me, I'm bored to death." Lin Mengran said.
"Looking for you? Now?"
"Yes, we had a fight just now and I lost my car to him. Now I have nothing to do in the hotel." Lin Mengran said coquettishly.
"Haha, you invite me to the hotel so blatantly? Miss Lin is a little anxious." Jiang Zhongyan teased Lin Mengran.
"Go to hell, you hate me. I asked you to chat with me and take me out to play. What do you want?"
"Okay, okay, do I dare to disobey your order? I'll be there right away."
As Jiang Zhongyan was talking, he knocked on the door several times and Peng Hu walked in.
Jiang Zhongyan directly covered the phone and said: "How is it?"
"I just had a phone call there."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhongyan's expression immediately became serious and he nodded: "Wait for me."
"Mengran, I'll hang up first, and I'll go find you now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhongyan said, "What do you say over there?"
"The wind is too tight, so I don't dare to accept the goods for the time being!"
Hearing this sentence, Lin Zichen was stunned and immediately felt something was wrong...
