The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Everyone looked at Li Muchen.

Although most people didn't know why the old man asked Li Muchen for his opinion, they could all tell that the old man valued him.

And his next words may very well determine Lin Laifeng's life or death.

In the Lin family, Lin Laifeng's status is ranked third, that is, the third person in the Lin family. It is a bit strange that his fate is now in the hands of a young man with a foreign surname.

But at this time, no one dared to question this.

Lin Laifeng's eyes held a trace of prayer, but he did not dare to look at Li Muchen.

Even Lin Laiyi was a little nervous and her body couldn't help but tremble a few times.

She didn't expect that her brother's life would eventually fall into Li Muchen's hands.

Li Muchen was very calm.

In the lounge next door, he had already promised the old man that he would let Lin Laifeng and his son go as long as they no longer took the initiative to provoke them.

At this time, of course he would not take advantage of others' danger and take their lives.

But Tiandu disciples only act based on their true intentions. Even if they knew Mr. Lin's intentions, he would not take the initiative to please the Lin clan.

"This is your Lin family's business and has nothing to do with me. The old man can do whatever he likes with it," he said.

"It has nothing to do with you?" Lin Shangyi looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you not from the Lin family? Or, don't you want to be a member of the Lin family?"

Li Muchen smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Li, and I am from the Li family."

This answer caused an uproar among the people below.

Some people felt pity for him. The old man made it so obvious, the boy didn't seize the opportunity!

There are also people who gloat about their misfortune. They are indeed fools and do not want the wealth and honor in front of them.

Lin Laiyi sneered and said: "You are a member of the Li family. Don't talk so nice. You are playing hard to get. If you want to be the son-in-law of the Lin family, then be the son-in-law of the Lin family. What else can you say that the Li family despises bitches like you the most?" He wants to build a memorial arch."

Li Muchen didn't even look at her and ignored her for the first time.

Lin Laiyi felt slighted and was furious, but remembering the slap in the face just now, she did not dare to say anything too extreme.

I could only swear secretly in my heart that I would never let Li Muchen become the son-in-law of the Lin family.

Without the protection of the old man, he would be like a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump around for a few days.

Sooner or later, if it falls into her hands, it can be crushed to death with just a squeeze.

Just when people thought that the old man would be angry because of Li Muchen's ill-informed words, Lin Shangyi burst out laughing.

"The surname is Li, hahaha! Okay, okay, okay, you are a bit like your grandfather back then. I really saw the right person, hahaha!"

The old man's laughter made everyone else feel puzzled.

Li Muchen's heart moved. He wondered whether the grandfather the old man was referring to was his grandfather Lin Youquan in Hecheng, or Li Tiance, the head of the Li family in the capital.

"Your surname is Li, but don't forget that you still have a marriage contract with your grandfather's and my fingerprints on it. According to the agreement, you are at least half of the Lin family."

Lin Shangyi paused and glanced at Li Muchen.

"Eighteen years ago, I made a marriage contract with an old friend, Mr. Li Muchen's grandfather. According to the agreement, when my granddaughter Lin Manqing comes of age, she will be betrothed to Mr. Li Muchen as his wife. .”

Although many people in the Lin family already knew about this matter, it was still different when the old man said it.

Lin Laiyi frowned, thinking about how to break up the marriage.

Yan Huimin, on the other hand, was overjoyed because the old man proposed marriage in person at the ancestral hall. It was the first time in the Lin family in many years. This marriage was naturally of great importance, and her husband's status may have become more stable because of it.

"Manqing..."

Lin Manqing heard her grandfather calling her.

She lowered her head, feeling confused and unsure of what to do.

Yan Huimin pulled her gently and said, "The old man is calling you."

Lin Manqing just raised her head and saw the warm gaze of the old man, and Li Muchen next to her. The gaze was also full of warmth, but it had a little more restlessness that made her heart beat wildly.

"Manqing, come here." Lin Shangyi said.

Lin Manqing stood up, and under the gaze of the entire family, came to Lin Shangyi and stood with Li Muchen.

She felt countless gazes, and her face burned like fire.

She has never felt this way in all these years.

Lin Shangyi looked at the two of them with a smile on his old face.

What a match made in heaven!

He was glad that he made the right decision that year.

"Dad," Lin Qiusheng hesitated for a long time, and finally stood up and said, "Manqing is still studying. Isn't it too early to talk about marriage?"

Lin Shangyi nodded: "I know, so I plan to get them engaged first. I'm old, and I don't know how many more days I can live. While I'm still alive, I'll give them a glorious engagement party first, just before the three-year anniversary." Queen, what do you think?"

No one objected, and everyone could see that this was a plan that the old man had already thought of.

"In addition, I want to announce something. I have already made a will. When the two of them get married, I will hand over half of the Lin family's property to them to take care of." Lin Shangyi said.

"what?!"

This time it really shocked everyone.

Although leaving it to them to take care of and giving it to them are two different concepts, the former is management rights and the latter is ownership.

But after all, it is half of the Lin family’s property!

Even the current head of the family, Lin Qiusheng, cannot control half of the Lin family's property.

Moreover, it is impossible for the old man to only give management rights and not give any ownership rights.

If you can give them the management rights of half of the family property, you must at least give them more than [-]% ownership, otherwise the management rights will be a blank check.

Even Lin Qiusheng was shocked by the old man's decision.

He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Now that his daughter and son-in-law have the right to manage half of the Lin family's property, plus the equity they have obtained as a result, their family has a dominant position in the Lin family, and no one can shake it.

And if the old man can make such an arrangement, it seems that he will not give any chance to the Japanese grandnephew.

But in this case, Lin Qiusheng felt very embarrassed. As the head of the family, the wealth he can control is actually not as much as that of his daughter and son-in-law.

It’s fine if his daughter and son-in-law are of the same mind as him, but what if Li Muchen doesn’t share the same heart with him?

On this matter, almost everyone was opposed in their hearts, including Lin Qiusheng and Yan Huimin.

But seeing the old man's determined gaze and the tablets of the Lin family's ancestors, no one dared to speak out.

"Why, you all don't agree?"

Lin Shangyi sneered.

"I know you won't agree, so I said it, just to announce it, not to discuss it with you."

The old man's tone was beyond doubt.

"Mu Chen, now you are a member of the Lin family." He looked at Li Muchen with a smile.

"No." Li Muchen said resolutely, "Old man, I cannot accept your orders in this matter."

Wow, the whole place was in an uproar.

No one thought that Li Muchen would object.

Being the son-in-law of the Lin family was something that many people dreamed of doing, but he, a rag-picker, actually opposed it!

"Oh?" Lin Shangyi was obviously surprised, "Are you opposed? Do you look down on the Lin family or Man Qing?"

Lin Manqing bit her lip tightly and lowered her head. For some reason, her nose was sore and her eyes were a little moist.

Li Muchen shook his head and said, "None of them."

"why?"

"Old man, I told you, actually, I came to Hecheng to break off the engagement."

Li Muchen paused, and continued speaking under the surprised gazes of the Lin family.

"The reason is very simple. I don't want to be the son-in-law of the Lin family. I am from the Li family. No matter how much money or shares you give me, I can't accept it. If you want to marry Man Qing, I will do it openly and let Man Qing do it." You will marry into our Li family, instead of me being the Lin family’s son-in-law.”

Lin Shangyi nodded.

"Young people, it is a good thing to be ambitious, but you also have to face reality. In today's era, if you have no capital, no matter how great your abilities are, it will be difficult to use them. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to marry the daughter of my Lin family openly. .”

Li Muchen smiled slightly and said, "Give me some time, I will definitely be able to do it."

Lin Laiyi laughed loudly: "Ignorant fanatic! Give you time? How much time should I give you? Three years, or ten years? Or thirty years? Do you know how much assets the Lin family has? Do you know that the Lin family is in Hecheng and even Nanjiang Province? status? Uncle, this person is extremely frivolous and is not worthy of being the son-in-law of our Lin family. He also slapped me in the face in front of the ancestral tablet, and also slapped the Lin family in the face. We must not let him walk out of here today. "

Lin Shangyi also said: "Yes, Muchen, if you don't become the son-in-law of the Lin family, it will be hard for me to defend you in this slap in the face."

The corners of Li Muchen's mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled: "Don't bother. I only care about one thing now."

He turned and looked at Lin Manqing.

"Manqing, are you willing to wait for me?"

"what?"

Lin Manqing was startled. She didn't expect that Li Muchen would ask such an initial question.

"It won't take long." Li Muchen said, "If you are willing, just wait for me for three months. After three months, I will come to your door to propose marriage. I will use my own ability to hold a grand engagement banquet for us. .”

"I……"

Lin Manqing's heart was beating wildly, and even her fingers were trembling.

"I am willing!"
