The Lin Family in the 1990s started a clothing factory and later, catching the wave of economic reform, grew bigger and bigger. Now they are one of the top fashion groups in the country, with several clothing brands under their umbrella and a market value of several billion. So, the Lin Family in Jiangzhou can be considered a prominent and wealthy household. Initially, Lin’s had a cash flow problem and was on the verge of bankruptcy until Lin Peng, the eldest son of the Lin Family, married Song Qiulan, the daughter of the leading restaurant group Song Family at that time. It was this marriage that resolved their financial issues, and thereafter, Lin’s grew larger and more successful while the Song Family gradually declined. Years after Song Qiulan gave birth to Lin Sili, she fell ill and passed away. Qiulan, whose reputation was second only to Ji Lanyi’s, was one in a hundred, a great beauty. After Qiulan’s death, Lin Peng’s secretary Pan Yu succeeded her position, becoming the Family Head of the Lin household. She came with a son, renamed Lin Tao, and later gave birth to Lin Peng’s daughter, Lin Qianqian. There was gossip suggesting that the cheap son she brought into the family was actually her and Lin Peng’s illegitimate child. Lin Tao was mostly abroad for his studies, and people who had actually seen him were few, therefore garnering him little attention. Later, the scandal involving the Eldest Miss Lin, Lin Sili, and He An was the talk of the town. In a fit of anger, Lin Peng kicked her out of the Lin Family, and she ended up wandering the streets. Some cursed her, believing she deserved it, while others pitied her misfortune. In any case, the Eldest Miss Lin then vanished from public sight. "Where is the young master?" Pan Yu, the epitome of dignity, entered from outside the door and asked the maid. "He is sleeping in his room." Pan Yu’s brows furrowed as she quickly walked upstairs, pushed open the room door, where the curtains were drawn, making the room gloomy. Pan Yu strode over and flung back the covers, and the man lying on the bed, corpse-like, turned over irritably, "Mom, what do you want?" "Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you ever do for me is sleep. Do you know how many guests have arrived outside? And here you are, having a big sleep upstairs. So what if you got dismissed from the hospital? ’Doctor’ isn’t something worth pursuing. You’re going to inherit the company in the future, can’t you show some ambition?" "Mom, you can insult my character, but definitely don’t insult my dream. Becoming a doctor has been my aspiration since childhood, and I have no interest in the company, so stop pushing me. Besides, Dad will never hand over the company to me..." Pan Yu slapped him on the back, "What nonsense are you spouting? You are your father’s biological son. If he doesn’t pass the company to you, then to whom?" "Wasn’t there a will left by Grandpa? Lin’s is supposed to be inherited by that Lin Sili girl. What does that have to do with us? I don’t covet it at all." Pan Yu felt like iron not yet forged, and her son was driving her mad, "We agreed that you would intern at the company, but you came back after just two days. Do you have any idea how bad it sounds when people in the company talk? And when that old man kicked the bucket, I was right there; he didn’t have time to make a will. The company will all be yours in the future. Do you know how much that company is worth? My foolish son, you’re going to be the death of me." "If you’re up to it, give me the General Manager’s position then. What’s the point of a minor employee? It’s hard and tiring, and I refuse to do it," Lin Tao complained. Pan Yu was infuriated, took a deep breath, and calmed herself. She knew her son’s temperament, she had to approach the situation slowly, it couldn’t be rushed. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovelHub(.)net "Many daughters of wealth will be coming tonight. Get up, tidy yourself up, and find me a daughter-in-law, make your father happy too. It’s about time to settle down." "Those women, they’re all hesitance and fuss; I don’t want to go. You can go if you want," Lin Tao said, grabbing the blanket and dropping back down. Lin Tao was innately lazy, the kind of bone-deep laziness where one would sit rather than stand, lie down rather than sit—a standard homebody. His life motto: Life is about stillness... Such a woman with ambition and smarts as Pan Yu, how could she give birth to such a lazy and foolish son? She finally played her trump card, "If you don’t go, forget about the money for opening your clinic, and I won’t find you a place either." Lin Tao sat up abruptly, "Mom, you promised me." Pan Yu snorted coldly, "Aren’t you the one who sees money as dirt? Then don’t use this dirt to insult your pursuit. Keep sleeping until you’re oblivious; from now on, I’m washing my hands of you. You can do whatever you please." With that, she shook her head in disappointment and left. "Mom, wait for me," Lin Tao exclaimed as he hurriedly jumped out of bed and went after her.
