Chapter 669
Lin Yan and Jiang Hao looked at each other before pushing Elder Lin away, and as he was leaving, Elder Lin took a deep look at Jiang Hao.
There was a slightly complicated look in his eyes, and he didn't know what was going through his mind.
Jiang Hao touched his nose. As he watched Lin Dong's father and son being escorted off, he felt bored in his heart and left.
After Jiang Hao had left the Lin family, Elder Lin sat in his wheelchair and looked at the red flowers in the courtyard and sighed softly.
"Yan'er. Do you think I did the right thing in this matter, or did I do the wrong thing?"
Lin Yan crouched at Elder Lin's feet and shook her head slightly as she spoke back, "Yan'er doesn't know. In fact I don't even know what to do myself."
Hearing these words, Elder Lin narrowed his eyes, "I don't know either, whether it's right or wrong to do so."
Just as the words left his mouth, his old grandmother suddenly walked over with her walking stick, then glanced faintly at Lin Yan.
She then spoke, "Yan'er, you should go down first, I have something to talk about with your grandfather."
Lin Yan looked up at his old grandmother after looking at her with a complicated expression, but still obediently retreated, helping the old man tidy up the blanket covering his knees as he was leaving.
After Lin Yan had left, his grandmother sat beside him and said, "Do you really intend to expel Lin Dong and his son?"
Without looking back, Elder Lin laughed bitterly and said, "I knew you would come to plead for them to measure the coconut, but can you look at what they have done before you open your mouth?"
The old grandmother's face was suddenly a bit sad as she said, "They are the only male children left in our Lin family, and this is a matter of passing on the family legacy. Are you really that heartless?"
Master Lin looked at his grandmother, intending to give her a severe lecture, but then he looked at her pale face.
Thinking that she had been with him for most of his life, he could not be so cruel.
"If I let them stay any longer, what kind of a family head would I be?"
After saying this, Elder Lin continued, "Besides, what is so bad about Yan'er that you despise her so much?"
The old grandmother shook her head and wiped the corners of her moist eyes, "Yan'er is a good child. But she's a girl after all, and she can't afford to take on this family business."
The old grandmother coughed lightly before looking at Master Lin and pleading, "For my sake, give them one more chance."
Master Lin's heart felt like a knife and he turned his head to look at his grandmother, "Give them another chance, how am I going to explain Yan'er's side, how can her heart still be broken?"
Hearing these words, the old grandmother did not hesitate to speak back, "I will arrange for Yan'er to hold important positions in the company. I won't give Lin Dong another chance to embezzle, you can trust me."
The Lin family had been in a state of flux until now. It was not easy to say that it was all thanks to him and Lin Yan's father.
As a result, Lin Yan's father had left and only he was left to struggle to hold on, and even if Lin Dong's father and son could not help, that was fine. Instead, they were dragging themselves along behind them.
Thinking of this, Elder Lin let out a deep sigh and looked at his grandmother and said quietly, "I really don't understand what it is that you see in them that makes them so worthy of you defending them."
The old grandmother looked at Master Lin without saying a word, but the pleading look in her eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
After all, Master Lin's heart was not made of iron. Looking at his wife, who had been with him for dozens of years, he shook his head.
"It's fine if you want them to stay, just let Lin Nan hand over the power he has, and let Lin Dong demote himself and stop giving him the opportunity to embezzle."
After saying this, Elder Lin looked deeply at his old grandmother and spoke, "This is the first and last time, I definitely won't give them a second chance."
The old grandmother looked at Master Lin and suddenly smiled, then got up and pushed the wheelchair and said, "That's enough. I only hope that they can pass on the Lin family's legacy."
The old grandmother worked diligently to take care of all the family's affairs, giving Master Lin a stable backbone.
The old couple were one for the outside world and one for the inside. This was the way it had been for decades, so the genealogy of the Lin family was also placed in the hands of the old grandmother.
The old grandmother looked at the red flowers in the garden and smiled before saying helplessly, "There is only one child in our Lin family in this generation. Since I am the grandmother of the Lin family. Then I have to ensure the Lin family's legacy."
These words were, on the one hand, an explanation of what she had done, and on the other hand, she was telling Elder Lin that it was not easy for her.
And when Elder Lin heard this he followed with a sigh, reaching out to gently pat the back of the hand resting on his shoulder.
"It's been hard for you after all these years, I hope that Lin Dong and his father will understand a bit!"
After saying this, Elder Lin spoke in silence for a while, "You should go and think of a way to push Yan'er's marriage out, although I won't throw Lin Dong's father and son out, but the words have already been said, so we still have to make a show of it."
The old grandmother spoke with some difficulty, "I have already promised the Shen family about this marriage, and only after you fell ill did the Shen family stop the matter.
Master Lin gave a bitter smile and looked at the garden and said softly, "Since you agreed to this matter, it is natural for you to handle it, and I will cooperate with you."
Just as the Lin family's old master was discussing the matter of Lin Yan's marriage with his old grandmother, the Shen family of the Northern Province was also discussing the matter of the Lin family at this time.
Shen Wennian, the head of the Northern House Shen Family, sat in his chair looking at the information with a peaceful expression, listening to someone report some business matters from time to time.
When the other party had finished, he put down the paper in his hand and spoke, "Right, how is the health of Lin's family head Lin Hengyuan, if he is well, talk to the other party again about the marriage."
Shen Wennian's son, Shen Qingshu, sat down and after hearing his father's words he said softly, "At present, Lin Hengyuan has been discharged from the hospital, he is in a wheelchair and still looks a bit bad."
Upon learning this news, Shen Wennian let out a smile and said, "In that case, you should prepare a small gift and I will personally go and visit him."
Shen Qingshu laughed and said, "Dad, I don't think it's necessary, it's the Lin family that has asked for this marriage, do we need to rush?"
Shen Wennian shook his head before picking up the documents on the table and reading them carefully, "You are still young, there are many things you don't understand, you will understand when you understand more in the future."
After some communication, Elder Lin agreed to allow Lin Dong and his son to stay on the condition that they were not allowed to hold important positions in the company.
The other thing was to put off Lin Yan's marriage, by whatever means he didn't care, the old grandmother would see to it herself anyway.
Chapter 670
That night, the old grandmother of the Lin family looked at Lin Dong and his son who were kneeling in front of her and sighed, "You are all members of my Lin family, why do you have to do such a thing?"
Lin Dong knew that the reason why he had not been thrown out was all because his old grandmother had spoken well in front of Elder Lin.
So after hearing these words from his old grandmother. He stood up straight and slapped himself twice on the head and said, "It is because I did not know what I was doing, and I was so confused that I did such a thing and got my father involved."
The old grandmother looked at Lin Dong as he wept bitterly and shook her head, "Alright, alright. It's over now, so from now on, you should stay at home."
Lin Nan looked at his grandmother and asked, "This is. Are you not going to kick me and my son out of the Lin family?"
The old grandmother smiled at Lin Nan, "That old man is just a knife's mouth and a bean curd's heart, it's fine."
After confirming the truth of this matter, Lin Nan and Lin Dong looked at each other, and a wild joy rose in the hearts of both father and son.
They then kowtowed to their grandmother and said, "I will never do anything like that again, thank you for believing in us!"
Seeing that Lin Dong and his son were so understanding, the old grandmother could not help but feel relieved, so she happily left Lin Dong and his son to have a meal in her room.
When Lin Yan found out the news, she was slightly gloomy.
In her heart, she thought to herself, "It seems that no matter how hard she tries. To her old grandmother, Lin Dong and his son were truly her heart's meat.
Master Lin knew that Lin Yan would be sad when she found out about this, so he ordered someone to call Lin Yan to his room for dinner.
Having just sat down, Elder Lin looked at Lin Yan's unhappy face and sighed, "I'm sorry, Yan'er, it's grandfather's fault for not taking care of you."
Lin Yan looked at Elder Lin and hurriedly got up and said, "How can that be, grandpa, don't be like that, Yan'er can't afford it!"
Looking at the old man's guilty expression, Lin Yan lowered her head and bit her lip, "Actually, I didn't think of throwing uncle out of the house either, this is how it is now. It's not bad either."
By the time she reached the end, Lin Yan was already a little uncomfortable with her words.
Thinking that Elder Lin had been in the business world for half a year, how could he not hear the strange tone of Lin Yan's voice?
So he let out a bitter smile and said, "Sit down and eat, your grandmother and I have already discussed it and you will be the general manager of the company next week."
The position of general manager had always been held by Lin Nan, so when Lin Yan heard this, she was surprised and said, "Then, what about uncle?"
Master Lin chucked a chopstick of vegetable into Lin Yan's bowl and then smiled and said, "Transfer him to the business department as a manager. I have already discussed this matter with your grandmother."
After hearing these words, a faint trace of joy surfaced in Lin Yan's heart. She would finally be able to show what she had learned!
In order to inherit her father's legacy, she had studied business management and other degrees since she was a student, and she was still studying up until now.
She had thought that she would never be able to use these things in her life due to her grandmother's suppression. But she never thought that she would finally have the chance to inherit her father's work.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but speak with slight excitement and asked, "Will I be able to take up my post next week?"
Elder Lin looked at her and smiled, "Well, your uncle still has some things to complete, so wait until this week when the handover is completed. You'll be the company's general manager next Monday."
Lin Yan excitedly made a gesture and kissed Master Lin on the cheek and said joyfully, "Thank you, Grandpa!"
In her happiness, Lin Yan consciously forgot about the matter of Lin Dong's father and son.
Just as she had said, she had never had the luxury of driving them out of the house from the very beginning of this matter.
Her grandmother had never put her eggs in one basket, and she knew very well that after she had agreed to this condition.
She also knew that if she agreed to this condition, Lin Dong and his son would be her enemies again, but so what.
But so what? As the general manager of the company, she would not be able to rule two subordinates!
In her excitement, Lin Yan ate two more bites of her dinner. Then she went back to her room and told Jiang Hao the good news.
Jiang Hao was also happy for Lin Yan, but when it came to the matter of Jiang Hao paying 5 million to arrest Lin Dong. Lin Yan's tone couldn't help but weaken twice.
After all, she had always lived on the company's salary, although it was not a lot of money. But it was not enough to be able to come up with five million at once.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan curiously asked over the phone, "Shen Yan, what kind of person are you? First, you helped me out with fifty million dollars, and then you took out five million dollars to catch Lin Dong in one breath!"
Speaking of this, Lin Yan spoke up rather incredulously, "The way you do things like this, is it the legendary prince experiencing life?"
Jiang Hao sat on the rooftop looking at the starry sky and snickered back, "If I were a prince, would you be a princess?"
Originally it was just a tease, but I didn't expect the speaker to have any intention of listening, Lin Yan suddenly blushed and didn't say anything for half a day.
Jiang Hao saw that the phone was silent for half a day and thought that Lin Yan was angry, so he opened his mouth and apologized, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, since things are settled it's fine."
Lin Yan nodded in her heart she was thinking the same thing, she already felt very lucky to have pulled her uncle off this time.
If she really wanted to drive them out of the house, there would be an impasse between her grandmother and her grandfather.
Although Jiang Hao had not spent much time in the Lin family, he could see the problems.
So he laughed bitterly at this and said, "It's a pity that Lin Dong and his son are still alive, so you should be more careful in the future."
Lin Yan nodded slightly after hearing this, and then hung up the phone.
The events that had happened in just two days had made Lin Yan feel a little overwhelmed. On the one hand, she was taking care of the whole family when her grandfather was seriously ill, and on the other hand, her uncle was backstabbing her.
Lin Yan's heart was a little sour when she thought of this, but she was confident that she would be able to get through it all and that her grandmother would approve of her if she continued to work hard.
As she fell asleep with this thought in mind, Lin Yan had no idea that she was about to face an even greater crisis!
Early the next morning, Shen Wennian, the head of the Shen family, brought his son, Shen Qingshu, to visit the Lin family to visit Lin Hengyuan, the head of the Lin family.
Upon learning this news, the old ancestor's mother brought her own people to the front door to meet them, while the old man Lin also got up early and waited in the lobby in his wheelchair.
The first thought that came to Lin Yan's mind at this time after learning of this was nervousness, she had never met the man she was engaged to.
The main thing is that if her grandmother does not push her marriage away today, she will have to marry into the Shen family.
