And she and her parents, apart from exchanging a few polite greetings during the holidays, had no other interaction.
In this situation, anyone would be nervous, but more nervous than her were her parents inside the room...
Elder Lin from the Lin Family had two sons; the elder son had Lin Yanke, and the younger son had Lin Baiwei.
According to his plan, the elder son would inherit his political legacy, and the younger son would develop the business.
But things never go as planned; his most favored elder son showed no interest in politics at all and turned out to be quite the business expert.
His younger son, however, showed political wisdom from an early age, handling situations skillfully in any setting to achieve his goals.
The two sons were quite similar to the Gao Family, the only difference being that Father Lin was genuinely a master of business, building a huge business empire for the Lin Family from the ground up.
In light of this situation, the old man had no choice but to hand over political resources to the younger son, while angrily pushing the elder son out of the Capital City to the Lin Family’s business center, so he wouldn’t be an eyesore.
Father Lin didn’t mind this at all, only feeling that the world was vast, and he was free to wander.
But just a week ago, he was suddenly called back by the old man, leaving Father Lin and Lin’s Mother completely puzzled. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Previously, the old man would never call them back unless it was a holiday, so this sudden summons made them worry if there was something wrong with the old man’s health, and they quickly rushed back.
But when they got home, the old man was completely fine, even able to do tai chi exercises, which made them breathe a sigh of relief but also feel bewildered.
It wasn’t until the old man took out a confidential file and placed it in front of them that Father Lin and Lin’s Mother understood the whole story.
This file mainly concerned three people, quite unluckily, one was their daughter, one was their daughter’s senior brother, and one was their daughter’s master, collectively known as Changchun Temple.
After reading the entire document, Father Lin and Lin’s Mother were utterly bewildered, taking more than half a day to gradually calm down, but their hearts were still pounding.
What, my daughter is a cultivator?
And she is one of the fastest progressing ones in Dragon Country!
Even though they didn’t spend much time together with Lin Yanke, hardly any at all, she was still their flesh and blood, and the parental pride shot straight to their heads!
But precisely because of this, when they heard the old man suggesting their daughter have a meal and chat with them, their expressions were not excitement but fidgety unease.
Especially Father Lin, who wasn’t good with words, was anxiously scratching his head: "This... this is too sudden, I haven’t prepared at all."
"Sudden what? Prepare for what! Yanke is your daughter, after all. Do you seriously need a detailed plan to see your own daughter, setting which sentence to say and what step to take?" Lin’s Mother rolled her eyes, retorting bluntly.
"No, I, this..." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Just as Father and Lin’s Mother were bickering, the doorbell rang, and Father Lin trembled slightly.
"Don’t be nervous, take a deep breath, Yanke is my daughter, why am I nervous to see my own daughter..."
Adjusting his state of mind, he jogged over to open the door.
"Creak—"
As he opened the door, the first thing that came into view was Lin Baiwei’s face, with a graceful figure standing behind, it was his daughter.
There wasn’t the aloof demeanor one might imagine of a cultivator; she looked just as nervous and apprehensive as he did.
"..."
"Uncle."
Seeing her cousin not speaking, Lin Baiwei sweetly called out, breaking the deadlock.
Lin Yanke breathed a sigh of relief and followed suit, "Dad."
"Ah, Yanke is back."
Father Lin snapped back to reality, his nose suddenly tingling, suppressing various complicated emotions, and hurriedly inviting them in: "You must be tired from the journey, come in, come in."
This concerned tone instantly eased Lin Yanke’s tension by quite a bit.
When they arrived at the living room, she greeted Lin’s Mother and the others before sitting down.
In fact, seeing Father Lin made Lin Yanke roughly understand the significance of this gathering.
She was fairly familiar with this neglectful father of hers, passionate about business to the point of obsession, lost in the thrill of earning money and seeing her balance grow larger.
Yet, he had zero interest in politics, infuriating the old man with his lackadaisical attitude, eventually pushing him out, not allowing him back except for holidays.
Now, it wasn’t a holiday, the old man was healthy, yet Father Lin and Lin’s Mother were at home, everything was self-evident.
Needless to say more, Elder Lin was certainly aware of Changchun Temple.
Being the head of the Lin Family and one of the people setting official rules in Dragon Country, testing her attitude through Father Lin and Lin’s Mother made complete sense.
The old man shot Father Lin a look, chuckled, and went back to his room to rest, while Lin’s Mother warmly invited Lin Baiwei to the kitchen to show off her cooking skills.
Soon, only Father Lin and Lin Yanke were left in the living room, staring at each other, unsure of what to say.
Father Lin usually had endless things to say with other businessmen, but those were all just nonsense, seeing your daughter and spouting off nonsense wasn’t appropriate, right?
Most importantly, he didn’t know any details of his daughter’s daily life, making it difficult to know how to start a conversation, was he just supposed to start awkward small talk?
