shadow in daylight gl

Around the Lantern Festival, the cold wave passed through the country, the temperature dropped sharply, and the entire city of Jin was shrouded in layers of thick clouds, which threatened to overwhelm the city.

There is soothing music flowing from the stereo, bone china cups are placed on the tea table, and white water mist flows from the kettle, curling up.Lu Linzhong half-lyed on the sofa absent-mindedly, with a volume of poetry spread out between his legs, and he hadn't turned a page for a long time.

An Huaixu's fingertips wrapped around Lu Linzhong's hair.In the morning, Zhitian successfully bought the land in Tanzhou's main development zone at a very low price. Lu Linzhong's eyes were filled with excitement. He didn't know what happened in the afternoon, so Lu Linzhong was so distracted.

The mobile phone lying on the coffee table lit up, Lu Linzhong glanced at the caller, picked up the mobile phone and walked under the overhead window.

"Hey?"

"I've taken care of Lin Zhao's matter." On the other end of the phone, Yi Ziyue's voice was low and calm.

Lu Linzhong didn't know how to respond to Yi Ziyue's words.

"Liu Liu, come and see!"

An Huaixu ran over with the computer in his arms, and a pop-up window popped up in the lower right corner of the computer with a striking title: "Lin Zhao, Chairman of the Lin Group, is in jail"

Lin Zhao was imprisoned suddenly, and the details of this matter have to be mentioned from years ago.

On Christmas Eve, after Lu Linzhong and Qin Shi went to the alley in the suburbs of Shanghai, they left the rest to Yi Ziyue.

Time has passed, and the evidence of the transaction back then could not be found. After many twists and turns, Yi Ziyue found a way to find the child who was sent away at that time, and presented the paternity test of Lin Yusi and Lin Zhao. Lin Yusi was not Lin Zhao's parent and was not legally adopted The two nurses who participated in the process were already mothers and felt guilty for what happened back then. They agreed to provide a statement to prove that on the day the child was born, Lin Zhao bought off the chief physician and nurse in the hospital and exchanged the child. Human offences.

An Huaixu tapped the touchpad to open the pop-up window, and the webpage jumped to the headline news of today's media. Just an hour ago, Lin Zhao was arrested and imprisoned by the local police, but the specific reason was not disclosed on the Internet.

It is reasonable for Lin Zhao's imprisonment to be exposed by the media, but it is unexpected that such a small matter in the business world will be pushed to the headlines.Among them, Yi Ziyue's contribution to the flames was indispensable.

Such a scandal happened to the top management of the group, and the middle-level people were panicked. Taking advantage of the hot topic, they used a three-pronged approach to suppress the Lin Group's stock price, and Zhitian could reap the benefits.

Lu Linzhong immediately clicked on today's stock market on the computer. The stock price of Lin's Group stabilized and did not fall significantly, which was different from what she expected.

It was getting darker and darker around the sky, and the snow had already started to fall.

Lu Linzhong and An Huaixu drove to the airport and took the latest flight to Shanghai.

It coincides with the Lantern Festival, and the people in Pudong Airport are in a hurry. Most of them are travelers rushing to reunite with family and friends. Only Yi Ziyue goes against the crowd and walks at a leisurely pace. He is dressed in black and has a black peaked cap, which stands out from the crowd. different.

Yi Ziyue waved to the two from a distance, and Lu Linzhong and An Huaixu followed her into the car.

"Did you read today's stock market?" Yi Ziyue took out a stack of documents and handed them to the two people in the back row.

Lu Linzhong: "Look."

Yi Zi said: "I deliberately let people release the news at noon, in order to make it known to everyone before the market closes."

Lu Linzhong: "Lin Zhao has already saved a hand?"

Yi Zi said: "Lin Zhao transferred his equity to his daughter's name two days before he went to prison."

An Huaixu opened the kraft paper bag, and on the top was a striking resume, with a one-inch color photo printed on a blue background in the upper right corner: "Lin Yucen?"

Yi Zi said, "Yes."

In the past, there were many gossip about the Lin family, and the matter of "the prince supervising the country" was the first to bear the brunt.Lu Lin, Zhong An and Huai Xu knew the inside story long ago, and they were not surprised by Lin Zhao's decision.

Yi Zi said: "I did it in a very secretive way, so it's impossible for him to notice it. It should be a coincidence."

Lu Linzhong: "The deputies around Lin Zhao, the core directors of the Lin Group, what do you think of this matter?"

Yi Zi said: "People who are familiar with Lin Zhao know that Lin Zhao wants to hand over the company to Lin Yucen even more."

Yi Ziyue's tone rose, like a hunter smelling the blood on his prey, and the desire in his heart was about to move.

Today is different from the past, Lin Yusi was supposed to be the number one heir of the group and has been cultivated for many years, but now he has become a stepping stone for others to rise to the top. Who would accept it calmly if he were anyone else?

"Lin Yucen." Yi Ziyue smiled meaningfully, with an expression of watching the show, "This is the apprentice taught by Miss Lu."

Lu Linzhong propped his chin, and a ray of white spotlight passed across her cheeks, making her eyebrows attractive, "Don't worry, the disciples of the church, such a thing as starving the master to death, will never happen to me."

An Huaixu closed the documents in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Is Lin Yucen in Shanghai?"

"Yeah." Yi Ziyue nodded, "I've been paying attention to her movements a few weeks ago. She's been in Jincheng before, and she just rushed back to Shanghai today. She arrived a little earlier than you."

"You didn't know she was celebrating the New Year in Jincheng?" Lu Linzhong asked An Huaixu.

"I didn't ask her. The last time I contacted her was half a month ago. She wished me a happy new year."

Lu Linzhong raised his eyebrows. When she met Lin Yucen face to face, Xu Zhongxuan and Meng Qiu asked her to help raise Shiliu before the New Year. She couldn't shirk and didn't want to accept it. In the end, Lin Yucen agreed to take care of her.

Yi Zi said, "By the way, I haven't asked where you two are going?"

Lu Linzhong: "Heguang Building."

The streets in the urban area are rarely empty, and the cars are speeding on the open roads. The lights on the Bund and the reflections on the Huangpu River are so heart-stopping.

Yi Ziyue put on the handbrake and stopped the car at the intersection, "I won't go through, you guys get off the car and walk over by yourself."

An Huaixu put away the materials in his hand, and got off the car with Lu Linzhong.

The rear of the car reversed and disappeared at the end of the road, and the two figures also disappeared into the shade of the trees beside the road.

Although Lu Linzhong's residence in Heguang Building has not been lived in for a long time, he arranges for housekeeping to clean it regularly. The room is as clean as new, and there are gold marbles studded with fruits beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, which is very suitable for the occasion.

Lu Linzhong changed the high-heeled shoes under his feet, and said tiredly: "Boss Yi is indeed a person who often walks by the river, he is really cautious."

An Huaixu sat on the sofa, and while helping Lu Linzhong press his calf, he carefully read the information given by Yi Ziyue, frowning from time to time.

An Huaixu: "What do you think Lin Yucen noticed? She has been by your side..."

"I don't care if Lin Yucen is aware of it or not." Lu Linzhong said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Lin Group to meet Lin Yusi."

The cold wave is passing, and the clouds are surging under the dark sky outside the window, and the first snow after the new year is also brewing.

"After the snow has fallen, it will be spring."

"right."

***

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Linzhong drove to the Lin Group by himself.

It snowed heavily overnight, and the road surface was treated with melting ice. The curbs on both sides of the road were covered with a few centimeters of snow cover, and the evergreen leaves supported the snowballs, drooping heavily.

It has been nearly a week since the resumption of work after the year, and most of the employees are on duty.It's just that the chairman has just been imprisoned, and the entire Lin Group is filled with a strange and terrifying atmosphere.

Lu Linzhong greeted the front desk, "I'm looking for Mr. Lin."

Some time ago, Zhitian Films and Heguang Films have been discussing cooperation. Lu Linzhong is outstanding in appearance and good at communicating with people. Most of the staff in the group know her.

"Mr. Lu, please sit in the reception room for a while."

"it is good."

In the reception room, it was Lin Yusi's personal secretary who received Lu Linzhong.

"Mr. Lu, hello." The other party offered her a hot latte.

"Are you Mr. Lin busy?" Lu Linzhong took the latte and thanked him softly, and asked.

"Boss Lin is meeting with the directors of the company." The secretary moved closer and lowered his voice, "You know what happened yesterday, right. Boss Lin..."

"I just heard some things. You, Chairman Lin, have always acted upright and sat upright. There must be some misunderstanding."

"I do not know······"

Lu Linzhong chewed on these words carefully, with a barely visible smile floating in his eyes.

Lin Zhao's crime of human trafficking has not been fully settled, and Yi Ziyue did not disclose the specific reasons when leaking the news to the media, and the outside world still does not know about it.Lin Yusi's identity is still the son of the Lin family, the prince of the Lin Group, and the Lin Group has not yet been turned upside down.

But unfortunately, the more there is no news, the more people guess how the defeated team can withstand the fatal blow of the enemy.

"Many things can be solved with money." After drinking coffee, Lu Linzhong winked at the secretary, "Help me to see if Boss Lin is done with his work. I have something to talk to him about."

The secretary left the reception room in response.

The sky was still dark, and a few grains of snow rice passed through the transparent glass window.Lu Linzhong walked to the window and looked down at the bustling Xuhui from a height of [-] meters. The back of a crimson windbreaker was like a rose that broke through the snow under the gray sky, shining brightly.

Not long after, the secretary came and asked Lu Linzhong to come in.

"Sorry for keeping Mr. Lu waiting." Lin Yusi said with a humble attitude.

Lu Linzhong sat down on the couch opposite him and looked at him carefully. His suit was straight, but the cuff button of his left hand was undone. Although his expression was calm, there was a trace of fatigue in his eyes. The office was filled with a faint aroma of tobacco.

In Lu Linzhong's impression, Lin Yusi was not a smoker.

"Boss Lin is in a bad mood?" Lu Linzhong folded his legs casually, with a gentle smile on his face.

"President Lu must already know."

"Yes." Lu Linzhong nodded, "I have a way to solve Mr. Lin's urgent needs."

Lin Yusi smiled modestly, thinking that Lu Linzhong was joking.

"It must be better than—" His slender and white fingers pulled out Lin Yusi's cigarette case from under the file folder. Lu Linzhong's eyes shifted, with a half-smile, "It's better than Mr. Lin smoking in the office."

With a thin white cigarette pressed between her thin lips, Lu Linzhong leaned over slightly, the faint scent of roses in her hair filled her surroundings, a strand of long hair slid down her shoulders and hung on the back of Lin Yusi's hand.

Lin Yusi raised his hand, and a faint blue flame slowly approached her.

In the smog, the charming female fragrance and tobacco taste are perfectly blended, full of desire.

"I heard that Director Lin intends to hand over the company to Lingmei."

Lin Yusi frowned and remained silent.

"Boss Lin asked Xiao Cen to study with me. It can be said that he has good intentions." Lu Linzhong exhaled a puff of smoke, and the misty white mist curled up. "But in terms of ability, experience, and qualifications, she can't compare to Mr. Lin. Chairman Lin has always been wise and decisive. How could he be so foolish?"

Lin Yusi squeezed the pen tightly in his hand, smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Cen is more talented than me in managing the company, she's just too young and doesn't have much experience."

"Oh?" Lu Linzhong deliberately lengthened the ending, "But I heard something else from my friend."

Lin Yusi stared at Lu Linzhong, realizing that the person in front of him might already know something.

"What happened 28 years ago was all done by Director Lin. Since he chose you and cultivated you, he should let this kind of thing sink to the bottom of the water and never surface."

"You have been by Dong Lin's side for so many years. You have worked hard for the Lin Group and He Guangying. You have worked hard without credit. Even if you are not a parent and child, how can Dong Lin allow you to be a stepping stone for Lin Yucen?"

Lin Yusi put down the pen in his hand and nodded slightly. "In the final analysis, this is the Lin family's business, and it would be inappropriate for Mr. Lu to go on with it."

"Is this a family matter? Mr. Lin's words don't sound good." Lu Linzhong tapped his index and middle fingers on the table, "I am entrusted by Mr. Xu to take full responsibility for matters related to Zhitian Films. What kind of person do I want to cooperate with? Do I still do it?" Can't you master?"

Lin Yusi knew the meaning behind Lu Linzhong's words. Over the years, he has been managing the light and film industry, but he has been unable to grasp the market. The company's operations are tepid, and even its performance has declined compared to before.A few years ago, although Lin Zhao didn't say it clearly, some people in the company's board of directors had already raised doubts about his ability.Last year, after Heguang Film and Zhitian discussed cooperation, the company's stock price continued to rise. Lin Zhao even approved his decision in person, and his voice in the board of directors gradually increased.

"As Mr. Lin said, Lingmei is indeed excellent, but one's grades in school are not directly proportional to her ability. You and I both understand that company operation management is much more complicated than what you learn in the book." Lu Linzhong dusted off the soot , "I don't want to, and I won't take huge risks, to cooperate with a freshman college student who has no experience in company operations. This is my responsibility to the company."

Lu Linzhong raised his lower jaw Shi Shiran.Lin Yusi valued the cooperation between them, but such a bargaining chip was still too light compared to the more than [-] years of brother-sister relationship between Lin Yusi and Lin Yucen.

"If Zhitian has such worries, I accept any decision made by Mr. Lu." Lin Yusi made a gesture of letting go.

Lu Linzhong leisurely extinguished the cigarette in his hand, his eyes darkened, "Mr. Lin treats Director Lin and Xiao Cen like this, but do they really regard you as their relatives?"

"If Director Lin trusts you with all his heart, why has he held the power of the company for so many years and refused to hand it over to you?" Lu Linzhong smiled secretly, "He is waiting for his little daughter to grow up. If the power of the company is handed over to you, If you hand it over to Lin Yucen in the future, you may not let it go."

Lin Yusi's tone became colder: "How does he know that I can't? As long as the power of the company is still in the hands of the Lin family, isn't it the same who is in power?"

Lu Linzhong stroked the corner of Lin Yusi's desk with his fingertips, and regretfully said: "Lin always thinks so, but Lin Dong has never trusted you."

Lin Yusi's face paled, "Never..."

Is it because he is not a parent?

In this case, why bother to make him the son of the Lin family?

As long as he could remember, Lin Zhao had been extremely strict with him. He always thought that Lin Zhao had placed high hopes on him and hoped that he would inherit the company in the future.He never took the initiative to ask for the happiness that should have been in childhood and adolescence.

On the contrary, Lin Yucen has been living and growing in an environment full of warmth and love.As long as it was something Lin Yucen wanted to do, Lin Zhao tried his best to encourage and support it.He always thought that his sister was a girl and she was young, so her parents would always pamper her more and be less harsh on her.

Today, he finally understands...

Lu Linzhong saw the needles at the right time, "Mr. Lin is very caring for Xiao Cen. She has been studying with me for several months. I have to remind Mr. Lin of some private matters."

"Please say."

"I met Mr. Lin and Ms. An at the Goethe Theater last year, and it was rumored that Mr. Lin and Ms. An were going to get engaged."

Lin Yusi didn't understand why Lu Linzhong suddenly brought up that matter, and explained lightly: "The engagement is just the wish of both parents. Now, Ms. An and I are just friends."

"Miss An has a very good friendship with Mr. Xu. Xiao Cen had frequent contacts with Miss An during his internship at Zhitian."

Lin Yusi didn't take it seriously, but Lu Linzhong looked serious, the lines of his face were tense, and the soft aura around him became cold.

"What do you mean?" He frowned.

"Personally, I think that the past between Miss An and Mr. Lin is well-known in the business circle. Xiao Cen shouldn't get too close to Miss An, and love her."

"What did you say?" Lin Yusi stood up abruptly.

Lu Linzhong showed a troubled expression.Lin Yusi reacted like this, maybe he was shocked because his younger sister likes women, but Lin Yusi went to school abroad since he was a child, so even if he doesn't have a high degree of recognition for same-sex people, he shouldn't be surprised.What's more, I'm afraid I still don't like others meddling with things that should belong to me.Even if Lin Yusi didn't develop feelings for An Huaixu, he didn't want Lin Yucen to like An Huaixu.

She calmed down: "Boss Lin trusts me so much, I should also consider the reputation of Boss Lin and the Lin family. Once this kind of thing gets out, it will become the talk of other people after dinner, and Boss Lin is afraid it will not be easy to do."

Lin Yusi's face turned cold, "Xiao Cen may not be sensible."

"Unreasonable?" Lu Linzhong leaned back lazily on the back of the chair, chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin knows Xiaocen better than I do. Although she is young, she handles things prudently. Besides, an adult should not use ignorance anymore." as an excuse to misbehave.”

"I also reminded her about this, she..." Lu Linzhong leaned on the corner of the table, bowed his head sideways to Lin Yusi, with a gloomy expression, hesitant to speak, looking a little disappointed and aggrieved.

Lin Yusi's face turned pale again, "Mr. Lu has something to say, please speak up."

"I feel ashamed of my trust in Mr. Lin." The two beautiful long eyebrows frowned slightly, and a pair of eyes glowed softly, like delicate flowers shining in water, and cold jade producing smoke.

"Xiao Cen may feel in her heart that if she was born earlier and was a boy, Mr. Lin would not be the one who is engaged to Ms. An." Lu Linzhong frowned, and said in a sad voice: "If Mr. Lin doesn't believe me, Then you can make a phone call and ask Xiao Cen yourself."

Lin Yusi was silent, looking at the snow falling outside the window with a cold expression.

The phone ringing on the desk broke the low and cold air pressure in the room. Lu Linzhong straightened his long hair in front of him, sat back on the sofa, and picked up the coffee on the coffee table as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yusi turned around, picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.

"Boss Lin, Miss Lin is here." The secretary's magnetic voice came from the office.

"Let her go back first." After finishing speaking, Lin Yusi hung up the phone.

Lu Linzhong hooked the corners of his lips calmly, and the line of defense in the opponent's heart seemed to be loosening.

The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, and Lin Yusi seemed to see the old scene in the snow flying all over the sky.The father held the younger sister's gentle and doting look, and the mother looked at their smiling faces.

Every time he came back from studying abroad, he would have this illusion, as if they were the real family, and he couldn't blend in, he could only be a silent audience.

The truth is, he is an outsider in this family.

Everything Lin Zhao gave him was bestowed from top to bottom, alms and compassion.

Twenty-eight years ago, he was the chosen party.If he knew the truth from the beginning, he would be grateful to the Lin family and would be willing to pave the way for Lin Yucen. He is not an ungrateful person.

But for the past 28 years, he has always thought that Lin Zhao is his biological father. He is cautious and trembling, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice. He just does everything he can to satisfy Lin Zhao, and even makes big mistakes... ... But in Lin Zhao's eyes, what is he?

Is it a tool to stabilize the Lin Group?Or is it a stepping stone for Lin Yucen to rise to the top?

Did Lin Zhao ever have a father-son relationship with him?If there is, why have you been wary of him for so many years without his knowledge?

No matter what decision Lin Zhao makes, should he readily accept it?

After learning the reason for Lin Zhao's imprisonment, he has been calmly restraining his emotions, trying to find thousands of reasons to dispel the hatred in his heart.

But those unhappy past events that he had deliberately forgotten were like hidden thorns sticking together with flesh and blood, catalyzed by this cruel truth, festering and sore.

This situation, this moment, this place, only unpleasant things came to his mind.

In the past, Lin Yusi may have been like a labyrinth of countless puzzles, and every feasible path was filled with damp mist, making him confused, but now he finally got the key to this labyrinth, looking back carefully, Those things that can't be seen or guessed have traces to follow.

At the end of the maze, the so-called truth is all at the source.

From the moment he was born, his fate was deliberately arranged as a joke.Everything he holds in his hands does not belong to him; everything he does is just someone else's wedding dress.

"Boss Lin?" Lu Linzhong crossed his arms, carefully scrutinized Lin Yusi's expression, and his pink fingertips landed on his arms rhythmically.

"Huh?" He turned around and nodded politely at her, apologizing for his long silence.

"Does President Lin want to take power?"

The woman's red lips were slightly parted, like a beautiful snake spit out a dangerous and cold snake letter.

Lin Yusi looked at her in surprise, noncommittal.

"If you have the heart, I can wish you a helping hand." Lu Linzhong propped his chin lazily, with a very faint smile on the corner of his lips, and his tone was light but powerful.

"It's just that after it's done, you have to promise me a few conditions."

"I know Mr. Lin doesn't want to be ungrateful, but what can be considered ungrateful?"

"Director Lin is now in prison, and Mrs. Lin is sick and bedridden. If something goes wrong in the Lin Group at this critical juncture, it will ruin the hard work of Chairman Lin's life. You can wait for Lin Yucen to sharpen his edge It is not too late to hand over the company to her after accumulating experience."

"Or—" Lu Linzhong slightly bent the corners of his lips, "Boss Lin thinks for himself. After all, you are not completely a member of the Lin family. How will you deal with yourself in the future? You can accept giving up everything and just do it from scratch. An ordinary person? If Lin Yucen becomes the chairman of the Lin Group, how will she treat you? "

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? How can it be my turn to remind Mr. Lin of such a simple truth?"

Lin Yusi looked indifferent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.He knew that Lu Linzhong wanted to choose him and support him because he could benefit her more.

Lu Linzhong was not surprised by his reaction.She has known Lin Yusi for so long, and she dare not say how much she knows him. She also knows that his personality is too gentle and his actions are not decisive enough.

Such a person is destined not to be a good superior.

Although Lin Yucen is young, he has the demeanor of a leader in terms of character and behavior. Letting Lin Yucen take over the Lin Group is tantamount to making enemies for the sake of heaven.

"I know Mr. Lin is still hesitating, but you don't have much time to think about it." Lu Linzhong packed up his things and said goodbye to Lin Yusi, "The conditions I want are not harsh. I will tell you when Mr. Lin understands. You go first."

Lu Linzhong turned and left Lin Yusi's office.

Snow is still falling.

Lin Yucen sat in the reception room for nearly a morning, and before the hour hand pointed to twelve, he finally heard the sound of the door opening of the office next door.She opened the door of the room, Lu Linzhong's slim back appeared in sight, and disappeared at the elevator entrance.

Lin Yucen frowned, and asked Lin Yusi's secretary sideways: "Brother has been talking with Zhitian's Vice President Lu just now?"

"Yes."

"Did he meet anyone else this morning?" Lin Yucen asked anxiously with a serious expression.

"Boss Lin also met with directors of several companies in the morning."

While speaking, Lin Yusi happened to come out of the office, and she hurried up to meet her, "Brother."

The two looked at each other, and the surrounding air was slightly stagnant.

Lin Yusi beckoned the secretary to leave first, and smiled at Lin Yucen with a gentle expression: "Xiao Cen, what can I do for you?"

"Yes." Lin Yucen took two steps towards him.

Lin Yusi understood, reopened the office door, and sat back at the desk.

The displays in the office are as usual, and the facial expressions of the people sitting on the office chairs remain the same, but within a day, everything is different from before.Lin Yucen wanted to say something, but she was not good at expressing her emotions, so she didn't know where to start.

In the huge office, the two people kept a close distance and faced each other silently.The stalemate was obviously only a few minutes, but it seemed as long as centuries.

"I went to the nursing home to see my mother yesterday, and she is in good spirits."

Lin Yusi nodded indifferently.

Lin Yucen lowered his eyes lonely, and added in a deep voice: "Mom doesn't know about Dad yet."

"Well, she can't be stimulated."

Lin Yucen curled up his fingers and pinched the neat stitching on the lower edge of the cuff.

Ever since she could remember, her parents have been very affectionate, and the trivial quarrels that ordinary people have do not exist in their family.In recent years, my mother has been ill, and my father put aside his company duties to stay with his mother wholeheartedly, doing everything by himself.My father kept my brother's life experience from my mother for 28 years.Now, mother's time is running out, and father still doesn't want mother to know.She didn't know why her father exchanged her sister for a brother, but she still believed that he did it for the sake of the family.

"Thank you bro."

"This is what I should do." Lin Yusi maintained his usual modesty, but his eyes were cold and distant.

Lin Yucen's eyes trembled, and his brother became different from before.

"Will you forgive Dad?" Her voice was already low, and her tone was dignified, making it sound hoarse.

"Xiao Cen, did you already know?"

Lin Yucen's throat tightened and his lips moved slightly. After several efforts, he still couldn't say the word "yes".

It is true that she did not learn of her brother's life experience yesterday when her father was imprisoned, and she did not know her brother's life experience because her father mentioned it to her in a few words.She just discovered this secret by coincidence.

A few months ago, she happened to pass by a coffee shop near the company, and saw her father with a young woman wearing a mask, and her demeanor could not be called intimate, but a man with a successful career was with a young woman at the right age. Anything can make people think a lot.Since his mother was ill, his father had pushed back all the work he could, and spent all the time he had spared with his mother, but now, he drank coffee with a young woman.Like most people suspect, Lin Yucen is also wondering if his father is tired of his mother and has found a new love.

That day, she sent someone to investigate the young woman.A few days later, she got the woman's information, and she only took out a small piece of A4 paper, and the one-inch photo shocked her. This woman was [-] to [-]% similar to her mother. Can't be relieved for a long time, this woman was born in the same year, the same month and the same day as her brother.

Is this woman her sister?This whimsical absurd idea was repeatedly brought up in her mind.

But if this woman is not the father's lover, but the father's daughter, why doesn't the father let this woman live in his home?Are brother and this woman twins?Then why has she never heard her mother mention that she has a sister in all these years?Does brother know about this?

······

Countless questions were superimposed, and Lin Yucen was determined to figure out what was going on.She checked the woman's birth certificate, and it clearly stated in black and white that she was born in the same hospital as her brother, and the names of her biological parents.If everything was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.If everything is not a coincidence and the birth certificate is not forged, she thinks, either she has a pair of twin brothers and sisters, or she has a real sister outside and a fake brother at home.

Ever since she had this absurd idea, Lin Yucen became more and more uneasy every day, until one day she finally overcame her fear of knowing the answer and stole a piece of her brother's hair.She wants to break through the fog and see what the truth is like.

As the second person in her family who knew Lin Yusi's real life experience, she just wanted to swallow this matter in her stomach and never bring it up.Blood relationship is important, but she values ​​the family relationship they have cultivated after living together for more than [-] years.

Lin Yucen clenched his fists and said nothing.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Yusi was filled with coldness and ridicule.It's no wonder that until now, he has neither received a call from Lin Yucen asking him to verify the facts, nor has he seen a trace of excessive reaction on her face.It turned out that Lin Yucen had known the truth a long time ago, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark!

"Brother, only I know about this matter, my mother doesn't know..."

"Dad didn't tell me either, I just...know about it by chance."

Lin Yusi's eyes were obviously tired. Did Lin Zhao tell Lin Yucen, and whether Lin Yucen was helping Lin Zhao at this time? He was no longer interested in any of these.

He waved his hand, "Xiao Cen, do you know that Dad has transferred all the shares in his hand to your name?"

Lin Yucen was taken aback for a moment, and said with deep eyes: "I know, but I never thought of..."

"Father always wanted to hand over the company to you." Lin Yusi looked at Lin Yucen with a complicated expression.His gaze was like a sharp knife, cutting open their long-term family relationship abruptly.

The boiling water in the glass jug on the coffee table in front of him was turbulently tumbling, and the water vapor violently pushed against the lid. The sharp collision sound echoed in the huge office, filling the silent confrontation between them.

From ancient times to the present, for the sake of money for power, for the likeness of one's own, brothers have fought against each other, and there are countless cases of sibling rivalry.

Lin Yusi is not someone who likes power struggles. The reason why he mentioned the power of the company, Lin Yucen thought, maybe he was just testing her attitude.

"Brother, I never thought of arguing with you. It's been like this since I was a child, even if I know..."

Outside the window, the wind was rumbling, and goose feathers were flying in heavy snow.

"Brother, I can hand over the power of the Lin Group to you."

Let him... Lin Yusi smiled wryly.

Is it a gift?Is it charity?

"For so many years, Dad has never told Mom about you, maybe because he loves Mom so much and wants a complete family..."

Home······

Does he still have a home?

Is the Lin family still his home?

A few snowflakes brushed past the light blue glass windows, floated into the window cracks, and were blown by the warm indoor wind, turning into a puddle of water together with his nostalgia for this family in his heart.

Lin Yucen's eyes followed the silent figure by the window, she lowered her head to comfort herself, maybe her brother was understanding her father, and she was also thinking about her mother's condition, so she wanted to give him more time.As long as her brother knows that she has no idea of ​​fighting for power, she can gradually repair the family relationship that has cracked.

In the ashtray, a jade-colored cigarette butt with a maple-red lip print looked at her blankly and indifferently like a red eye.

Lin Yucen recalled the slender figure that disappeared in the elevator, and asked, "What is Vice President Lu here for?"

Lin Yusi turned around, "Talk about cooperation."

"Talking about cooperation? Didn't the cooperation between Zhitian and Heguang Films be discussed before the Chinese New Year?" Lin Yucen's tone suddenly rose, "President Lu is good at dancing and well-informed. Dad had an accident yesterday, and she appeared in our company building today. , shouldn’t you be vigilant?”

"Brother, if she tells you that I have the desire to fight for power, then she will divide us. She is really not a kind person..."

"Xiao Cen." Lin Yusi interrupted her in a cold tone, "Don't talk about people behind their backs, let alone she is your teacher."

Lin Yucen turned his face away stiffly, "Did I criticize her, or did I hit the sore spot with what I said?"

"Father has always wanted to get involved in the real estate industry in Jincheng. Zhitian and we are potential rivals. If there is any accident in the company at this time, Zhitian will sit back and reap the benefits."

Lin Yusi raised his head wearily and closed his eyes, "I will judge her affairs."

"How much do you know about what she did behind the scenes? If she was secretly investigating the car accident for Xu Zhongxuan—"

The sound of water vapor against the glass cover stopped abruptly, and the air pressure in the entire office dropped sharply, leaving deathly silence.

Lin Yusi turned his head and looked at the girl in front of him. She had a slender figure with sharp edges and corners. Although she was only 21 years old, her calm and stable demeanor was exactly the same as that of his most revered father.

Genes and blood nature are things engraved in the bones, which will be inherited with the continuation of life, and even emerge from blue.

At this moment, what hit his heart directly was not gratification and pride, but deep fear.

What he thought to be perfect has been noticed long ago, and he looks like a crappy clown in front of a girl who is seven years younger than him.

Lin Yusi broke out in cold sweat, loosened his tie, and raised his hand to search for the cigarette case on the table.

"Brother, you should trust me."

The voice of "Brother" was sincere, he held the lighter, and he paused for a moment to light it. Lin Yucen's obedient and quiet appearance when he was a child came to mind. After all, he still couldn't bear to be too indifferent to her, so he nodded slowly to her.

"Xiao Cen, you go back first, I have a meeting in the afternoon." He stood up, and thoughtfully put on her coat.

Lin Yucen's eyes dimmed, and he followed him to the door.

"When you go back, spend more time with your mother."

"Ah."

Lin Yucen
