The firewood in the fireplace burned more vigorously, in contrast to the roaring winter wind outside the window. Li Xinzhi supported his exhausted waist and hugged Ji Qingjue more tightly. She was wearing his shirt and fell asleep beside him with a sweet smile.

Upon seeing this beautiful scene, Li Xinzhi felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart. Sure enough, looking at the happy sleeping face of the little hedgehog was more addictive than any other excitement. Sure enough, his choice was right.

"Um... Xinzhi, are you awake? Are you hungry? I'll make you something fresh."It's been a long time since Ji Qingjue got the love of his lover. He just fell asleep. After regaining consciousness, he slowly rubbed his lover, enjoying the tenderness.

"Qingjue, you should take some more rest. Haven't you been very busy recently?"

That's what he said, but the real reason was that he was immersed in the gentleness of the bed and didn't want to leave the bed. Li Xinzhi hugged Ji Qingjue's waist and didn't want her to leave like a spoiled child. He didn't want to miss a single minute of this time with the little hedgehog.

"Well, Xinzhi, you are really clingy!" Ji

Qingjue understood her boyfriend's mood instantly, pinched his nose unhappily, and continued to fall into his arms. The two hugged each other and chatted about various things that happened recently.

Ji Qingjue has been a little uneasy recently, not only at work, but also at school. She can feel that reality is beginning to be eroded by pressure. She urgently wants to communicate with Li Xinzhi to get comfort

"Senior Aoki... I heard something happened to him. The public security is really dangerous now.……"

Then, Ji Qingjue mentioned with some uneasiness that Liu Qingshu was robbed and killed. Although she hated his approach to her, he was still someone she knew, and it was really sympathetic that he was killed so tragically.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingjue also understood why Li Xinzhi asked to temporarily move to the Nangong family's villa. He wanted her and Song Zhiyao to be protected.

"Yes, it is really dangerous recently. Qingjue, you must be careful when you go out."

Hearing Ji Qingjue mention Liu Qingshu, Li Xinzhi's heart moved slightly, but he quickly calmed down, responded to his lover in a normal tone, and reminded her to be careful.

Then, he stroked her head with some tenderness. Ji Qingjue is such a kind person. Even when facing Liu Qingshu who hurt her, she would sympathize with his death.

But Liu Qingshu, this scumbag, is absolutely not qualified to be sympathized. Since he wanted to kidnap Ji Qingjue, violate her, and even take her life, fortunately he did it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But it's not over yet, there are bigger enemies. Li Xinzhi estimated that Zhao Linyi had been forced into a stage of fighting desperately by himself. There was no room for compromise between the two. The so-called struggle is like this. If you don't send your enemy to the grave, you won't sleep well for a day.

"However, you really went too far in bullying Senior Nuoya. She stayed in bed all day that day."

But the heavy topic was over. Ji Qingjue stared at Li Xinzhi helplessly. Although she knew her boyfriend's capital and physical strength, this was a bit too much.

"Haha, I don't mind. It's very comfortable. Have you rested enough?"

"Noah?!"

"Hey! Make room, I want to get on the bus!"

But Li Xinzhi opened his mouth, a little panicked about how to respond, when the little devil's voice rang out, and Nangong Nuoya sneaked in at some point. She was wearing expensive silk pajamas, and her hair was still steamy from the shower. Then, while Li Xinzhi was still not reacting, she got into the bed.

"Really, Senior, aren't you a little too anxious?!"

Ji Qingjue criticized Nangong Nuoya with some displeasure. Although he agreed that she could attack Li Xinzhi, he still wanted to spend more time alone with his lover.

"Is the weather too cold? And I'm afraid you can't handle it well. This bastard is really annoying!"

Nangong Nuoya responded with an apologetic look, but his body was already pressed against Li Xinzhi, which startled him. Although he still had the strength to fight, if he continued, he would probably be bedridden tomorrow.

"What are you thinking about?! Idiot! We are just sleeping together. By the way, Qingjue, I just bought Yuo. Remember to eat it later. You should calculate the days carefully in the future and don’t let this bad guy bully you!"

""I know, I know, senior!"

Nangong Nuoya pinched Li Xinzhi unhappily, and then turned into a strong look, and told Ji Qingjue considerately to deal with it afterwards. After all, it was still a little early for them now, and they had to wait a few years before considering the future.

Ji Qingjue blushed and agreed repeatedly. She was indeed a little too radical. She was always a little bold in pursuit of happiness. However, after the two of them communicated tacitly, they smiled and hugged Li Xinzhi together to share the warmth together.

Li Xinzhi hugged these two girls who loved him deeply, and he was indescribably happy. After the passion, he immediately felt warm. He hugged Ji Qingjue and Nangong Nuoya and fell asleep in a daze.

…………

Lin Zike hurried to the Carde Building owned by the Lin family. He had just been on a date with Muku Yukino, but was suddenly called back. It was the weekend, right?!

But when he really arrived at the building, Lin Zike's depressed mood dissipated, because the moment he stepped through the door, he automatically received respectful looks. Everyone who saw him would call him"Young Master".

It had been less than a year, and his life had changed so drastically. But all these should have belonged to him, but were stolen by the thief named Lin Xinzhi.

Lin Zike wanted to scold him that day, just like the conviction of the villain in the idol drama, but he was actually slipped away by this kid. His original fiancée, Lin Qingxue, seemed to have been entangled in the past relationship and temporarily cut off the engagement with him.

Although he had no choice, he could only maintain the status quo temporarily. Lin Zike knew that Lin Qingxue was a kind-hearted and somewhat weak girl. It must be that bastard who deceived her, which made Lin Qingxue so entangled, but Lin Zike felt that one day, he would take her back.

However, a new encounter has also occurred. The girl named Mu Xueno has known Lin Zike for a few months and now has a relationship like a lover. If it weren't for the emergency summons just now, Lin Zike would have dined with her in the high-end restaurant he had booked, and then went to the room above to spend the night. This was their first date.

Money is naturally not a worry.

After returning to the Lin family, not only is food and clothing the highest standard, but grandma Lin Xuemei also generously gave him a black card, allowing him to use it freely.

He can be said to be a real young master of a famous family.

So when facing Mu Xueno, a weak girl from a middle-class family, he naturally made full use of the power of krypton gold to easily capture her.

Although Lin Qingxue has always been the first in his heart, Lin Zike feels that as a young master of a famous family, he naturally has to show more mercy.

Thinking about how to find an excuse to make his grandmother Lin Xuemei, the current head of the Lin family, happy, Lin Zike walked happily to the door of the meeting room quickly, not noticing the heavy atmosphere of the city.

""Sorry, I'm late... Uh!"

Pushing open the door, Lin Zike was frightened by the solemn atmosphere inside. From Lin Xuemei to his second uncle Lin Zongxin and the usually lazy third uncle Lin Baoyu, as well as his cousins Lin Lianyan, Lin Yuehai, Lin Gezhi, and even his ex-fiancee Lin Qingxue who served Lin Xuemei, all wore cold black suits.

The layout of the conference room was not the traditional round table type, but like the stars surrounding the moon, with seats arranged according to age and seniority. Everyone sat on the sofa, looking at the projection on the stage, which showed sliding various data and annual reports. A capable lady stood on the stage, unable to stop sweating, and trembling as she explained the situation.

Lin Zike's intrusion did not cause much response. After Lin Xuemei glanced at him sinisterly, she continued to look at the report on the stage, exuding a terrifying atmosphere. Everyone was terrified and did not dare to speak loudly, and ignored Lin Zike as if he were air.

"Brother Zike...sit over here……"

However, seeing Lin Zike like this, Lin Lianyan felt a little sorry for him, so she moved to his side and pulled him to sit next to her. Although according to Lin Zike's status, he should sit next to Lin Xuemei, but that position was given to Lin Qingxue.

"What's going on?"

Lin Zike asked in a low voice, but Lin Lianyan just looked at him helplessly and turned her eyes to the projection screen. Lin Xinzhi looked straight at his cousin and stared at the constantly changing data.

"In short, affected by the"wave" that appeared this year, our company's profit margin may decline, and we may have to use our reserve funds to help the government stabilize the decline in housing prices. As for exports, they are almost at a standstill.……"

Under this high pressure, Qiu Lianyun finally finished reporting the revenue status of the past six months. The situation this year was originally very good, and he was confident that he could get the highest bid.���The bonus was for the Lin family, but it seems that it is basically gone.

Lin Xuemei nodded silently. Qiu Lianyun hurried down and stood aside, leaving the seat to the Lin family's decades-long helmsman, who gave a speech.

Lin Xuemei stood up neatly, not like a man approaching 70 years old at all, and walked straight to the stage. Today she had called together all the family members of the family for an internal briefing. The real dinner would be the group's annual meeting tonight, which would be the real challenge. Facing this crisis, they must be fully prepared.

"You all understand the situation. Look at the situation. Look at the current situation. How many years do you think our Lin family can survive after I am gone?"

As soon as she came on stage, Lin Xuemei had a threatening expression on her face, and she gave a warning to all the Lin family members present. Everyone was trembling with fear at the tone, and dared not speak. Seeing this, Lin Xuemei nodded, thinking that they had listened to her words.

One of her tenets is to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but over the years, everything has been too smooth, so smooth that people feel that winter will never come and summer will continue forever.

And until the first wisp of winter wind blew, Lin Xuemei, who had been immersed in the business world for many years, immediately found something wrong, and felt that this would be a long winter, enough to destroy all prosperity and foundations.

People are affected by the environment. If the members of the Lin family could still be considered wolves and could fight in the past, then now everyone present is basically a husky, a dog raised in a greenhouse.

But there is an exception, and that is Lin Xinzhi, the former heir of the Lin family. If Lin Xinzhi was still there, Lin Xuemei even felt that this was an opportunity that could allow the Lin family to take a step further, but now self-preservation is a problem, and they must also prevent smart people from dragging their feet.

"Baoyu, come up."

Lin Xuemei's eagle-like eyes locked onto the shaking Lin Baoyu. He used to be a playboy, but today he was dressed like a decent man. However, Lin Xuemei, who knew her youngest son, thought that he was just a silver spear and a candle.

Snap!

When Lin Baoyu came up, Lin Xuemei gave him a fierce slap in the face. The force was so great that Lin Baoyu fell down in an instant. She slapped Lin Baoyu in public in front of everyone present, just like teaching a good-for-nothing child a lesson.

"Mother……"

Lin Baoyu covered his face, and called out to Lin Xuemei like a wronged child, but what greeted him was extremely cold contempt. Lin Baoyu then remembered his mother's nature.

Although Lin Xuemei's image in recent years is that of a gentle, intellectual and reasonable rich old lady, who is Lin Xuemei? When the Lin family fell into decline, there was a strong woman who turned the tide. The underlying color of this kind of woman can only be a tyrant who is decisive and has no second thoughts.

For the sake of family interests, she can sacrifice the lives of family members without hesitation and manipulate the future of her family at will. Only with Lin Xinzhi, an excellent heir, can she be at ease as a kind grandmother of a large family. Now facing internal and external troubles, Lin Xuemei can only become a tyrant again.

"Baoyu, I told you at the beginning that you will never achieve anything great. Your sneaky and cunning tricks will never be able to make it to the stage. Do you think I don't know what you want to do? For your own selfish desires, you not only almost offended the Nangong family, but even got trapped in it. You are really not as good as your eldest brother and... a hair of Xinzhi!"

Lin Xuemei scolded Lin Baoyu as if insulting him. He had just gained some family power, but he actually bet on the cornerstone company in Linhai, without considering the relationship with the Nangong family.

If it had been successful, it would have been fine, but now it has caused the Lin family to suffer a lot of losses, and they are almost stuck in the quagmire. Damn it, they are really not afraid of the second-generation ancestor eating, drinking and having fun, but they are afraid of the second-generation ancestor proving himself.

After saying that, Lin Xuemei turned her gaze to Lin Zongxin, who had been silent all the time, and deliberately said something indirect. After so many years, how could Lin Xuemei not see the trick of Lin Zike's return.

Not coming back early or late, but bringing the real young master back at the node of Lin Xinzhi's adulthood, it is clear that she wants to undermine him, and she also deliberately made a big fuss to make herself unable to get off the tiger. The key is that she is not capable of replacing Lin Xinzhi.

When everyone heard Lin Xuemei mention Lin Xinzhi's name on her own initiative, they were even more shocked. After all, she had been acting like a rebellious grandson a few months ago, and now she called out Lin Xinzhi's name with the same doting tone as before, as the best and obedient grandson.

"You guys are really, not as good as Xin Yi in one aspect. This is the plan he wrote before he fled. It had predicted the outbreak of this crisis in advance. I deliberately kept it from showing it to see what you are capable of. As expected, I was not disappointed. You are all trash! Trash! You are just pests fighting among yourselves!"

Lin Xuemei raised the plan that was almost torn to pieces in her hand, and angrily rebuked everyone present with a tyrant-like tone. Everyone was afraid of the aura of this tyrant and could only bow their heads and take the scolding.

""Tonight is the annual meeting. Ge Zhi, Lian Yan, Qing Xue, you will come with me and behave well. Bao Yu, you must reflect on yourself and don't go out and show off during this period!"

After the terrifying rebuke, Lin Xuemei designated the members who would accompany her tonight. She deliberately ignored her second son Lin Zongxin, because Lin Xuemei wanted to take up the main responsibility again, so the first obstacle was Lin Zongxin.

There is no family affection in the power field. Lin Xuemei decided to try the ability of this second son at the end of her life. If he could defeat her, then the steering wheel of the Lin family could be given to him. If not, then he should be obedient.

Lin Zongxin stared at his mother, and in the end he could only endure and not say a word. He understood that he was not qualified to fight against him now.

Lin Zike was a little dazed. Looking at this scene, he was obviously a direct descendant and an heir, why did everyone ignore him? He was like a background board, standing there, listening to his own grandmother praising the thief.

…………

Lin Zike's hands and feet were a little weak as he came to the door of Lin Xuemei's office. Since he came back, Lin Xuemei had always been very kind to him and almost always responded to his requests. But Lin Xuemei's appearance today made him instinctively afraid. That kind of oppression and terror, even if it was not directed at him, made Lin Zike feel suffocated.

"Come in!"

After knocking gently on the door, Lin Xuemei's impatient voice reached Lin Zike's ears. He wanted to escape, but he was in a dilemma and could only force himself to enter.

""Zike? What's wrong?"

Lin Xuemei didn't even raise her head, her mind was on the computer, but she still judged who was coming from the footsteps, but she was not in the mood to deal with it at all, and asked very perfunctorily.

"Grandma... I see you're in a bad mood, so I want to come over and keep you company.……"

Lin Zike suppressed his fear and said flattering words. He had just been ignored by everyone and urgently needed the attention of this relative.

""No need, Zike, you didn't have to come just now. It's still in time for you to go to the hotel to accompany your girlfriend, but one thing, don't let her have any fantasies, and don't learn from your father!"

Lin Xuemei was impatient and asked Lin Zike to leave quickly and not to disturb her. She had heard enough of the nice words, but was too lazy to waste time comforting Lin Zike. At the same time, she inadvertently gave Lin Zike a warning, asking him not to mess around with the important matter of marriage.

Lin Zike was even more frightened when he heard this. Obviously, his relationship with Muku Yukino was a secret, so why did Lin Xuemei know about it? He felt that an invisible big net had entangled him.

"Grandma, I am also a member of the Lin family, why can't I attend?! Am I not as good as that thief?!"

"Yes, you are not as good as Xinzhi and Zike. As a member of the Lin family, respecting others is the most basic courtesy. Xinzhi has a name. If you keep calling people thieves, you will become like your third uncle."

Seeing this, Lin Zike couldn't help but asked Lin Xuemei loudly, why did he have to be treated like this when he had gone through so much hardship? Why did everyone think that person was the real eldest grandson of the Lin family?!

Lin Xuemei finally looked up at the excited Lin Zike and told him the truth directly. People should know themselves. Lin Zike was just a mediocre person, and naturally he couldn't compare to Lin Xinzhi, whom she had personally trained. Although she didn't know where he went, she was sure that he would never stay out of this storm.

"Ah!"

Hearing this, Lin Zike felt a deep despair. That person, the one who had left the Lin family a long time ago, had already engraved his existence into the bones of the Lin family. Could it be that he would never be able to get rid of his shadow?
