Chapter 171 Mistaking a Pearl for a Fish Eye
Anning Prefecture, Lin Residence —
As Jiang Chi himself said, he took Lin Fengzhi to visit Lin Chengzhi in the hospital.
Even though he was unwilling, Old Master Lin still had to respectfully lead the way.
As for Lin Chengzhi...
Lin Chengzhi wasn't sick at all, but now that Jiang Chi and the others had arrived, he had to pretend to be sick.
Inside the courtyard where Lin Chengzhi lived—
Lin Fengzhi followed behind Jiang Chi, standing in the courtyard where Lin Chengzhi lived with mixed feelings, and couldn't help but look around.
Unexpectedly, he was able to step into the Lin family again!
Jiang Chi glanced back at Lin Fengzhi and said, "You are now a follower of King Jiang. Tuck in your stomach, straighten your back, and raise your chin slightly. Yes, that's it. The Lin family is nothing but ants to you now."
Lin Fengzhi: "...Yes."
As Old Master Lin walked ahead, he clearly heard the conversation between Jiang Chi and Lin Fengzhi, and his emotions surged once again.
Who would have thought that the down-on-his-luck Lin Fengzhi would catch the eye of Jiang Wang's right-hand man?!
If he had known earlier that Lin Fengzhi had this opportunity, he wouldn't have crippled Lin Fengzhi and maintained a hypocritical grandfather-grandson relationship. He could have used Lin Fengzhi to contact King Jiang!
Old Master Lin felt a surge of emotions, a mix of regret and unease, though he couldn't tell if it was more regret or sadness.
Lin Chengzhi lay in bed pretending to be sick, watching Jiang Chi and Lin Fengzhi walk into the room.
Looking at Jiang Feng's triumphant appearance, Lin Chengzhi felt a tightness in his chest. He thought, "I had planned this all along. As long as I followed the steps I had planned, I could have taken all of Lin Feng's luck. Where did I go wrong and end up leaving Lin Feng with ten points of luck?"
Jiang Chi gestured for Lin Fengzhi to stand beside the bed, looking down at Lin Chengzhi.
Lin Chengzhi felt even more choked up.
Jiang Chi looked at Lin Fengzhi. Now was the perfect opportunity to kick him while he was down, to make Lin Fengzhi even more miserable.
Lin Fengzhi didn't move, standing by the bed, looking at Lin Chengzhi.
Summer's End: "..."
Xia Mo used her divine sense to guide Huangfu Qian's gaze, following Lin Fengzhi to witness this scene. She rolled her eyes at the sight.
Lin Fengzhi has suffered so much injustice and torment, doesn't he feel angry? Now is the perfect opportunity to vent his anger, so why doesn't he give us some reaction?
Lin Chengzhi, feigning a pale face, asked, "Did you come here to laugh at me?"
Lin Chengzhi became more assertive, while Lin Fengzhi became less assertive.
Jiang Chi glared at Lin Fengzhi. Now, Lin Fengzhi's status was far above Lin Chengzhi's.
Lin Fengzhi immediately realized that he might have embarrassed Jiang Chi, so he quickly straightened up and regained his composure.
"No," Lin Fengzhi answered truthfully.
Lin Fengzhi's personality is not that of someone who would kick someone when they're down.
Xia Mo frowned, her mind agitated: "..."
With Lin Fengzhi's personality, how could he possibly reclaim the fortune that was stolen from him?!
She and Huangfu Qian are now like nannies, feeding Lin Fengzhi "food" into his mouth, and Lin Fengzhi doesn't even know to open his mouth to receive it!
Are you in a hurry?! Are you angry?!
"Then what are you doing here?!" Lin Chengzhi pressed further.
Lin Fengzhi said bluntly, "I heard you were sick. General Jiang came to see you, so I came along to check on you."
"you……"
Lin Chengzhi glared at Lin Fengzhi.
At that very moment, the live stream chat on the screen in front of Lin Chengzhi began to rage again.
A commenter named "Calculation is Scheming" said: "What are you angry about, streamer? You yourself guided Lin Fengzhi's personality into this state, didn't you?"
Summer's End: "..."
She may have learned something important again.
Like Ma Yiyi, Lin Chengzhi has had a live streaming system since childhood.
“You will be participating in the medical competition in a couple of days, so you should focus on taking care of your health,” Lin Fengzhi said kindly. “General Jiang said that if you do not make it into the top 100, you will be punished for cheating.”
Lin Fengzhi wasn't even angry; he said it very calmly.
Lin Chengzhi's heart heaved violently again. He glared at Lin Fengzhi with wide eyes and shouted rudely, "Get out! Get out of here! You're not welcome here!"
“I don’t really want to go back to the Lin family. The Lin family… means nothing to me anymore,” Lin Fengzhi said sincerely.
Lin Chengzhi got angry again.
Summer's End: "..."
Yes, that's how you can be so infuriating.
An agitated Lin Cheng roared, "Then why aren't you leaving?!"
"Lin Chengzhi," Jiang Chi said, having watched the show for a while.
Lin Chengzhi stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth as if someone had grabbed his throat, but he didn't make a sound.
"I'm sorry, General Jiang, my grandson is sick and has a bad temper. He'll be fine in a couple of days," Old Master Lin apologized to Jiang Chi.
"I have another matter to discuss with you," Jiang Chi said, glancing at Old Master Lin before waving his hand.
Immediately, two armored soldiers appeared in the room, escorting an old woman.
Lin Chengzhi's pupils contracted sharply when he saw the old woman.
He was brainwashed using tools provided by the system, so there shouldn't be any problems... But he also used tools provided by the system to fake his pulse, and he was still discovered, wasn't he?!
Lin Chengzhi looked at Old Master Lin beside him, his eyes filled with panic, and his heart was even more flustered.
"You poisonous woman!"
Old Master Lin, thinking that Lin Fengzhi was not the legitimate son of their Lin family, and that the legitimate son of their Lin family had been replaced and drowned long ago, started to scold and berate Chen Ma.
Chen Ma knelt down in front of Old Master Lin with a thud, slapped herself several times, and said, "This old servant was blinded by greed and accepted the money from Fourth Young Master Lin. I'm returning the money to you, please spare my life, Old Master..."
"What?" Old Master Lin's body swayed violently. He looked at Lin Fengzhi in a panic, then at Chen Ma, who was kneeling on the ground and slapping herself repeatedly.
"It was Lin Chengzhi who said that as long as this old servant says that Lin Fengzhi is not the legitimate son of the Yao family, this old servant can get two hundred taels. This old servant was wrong, this old servant really knows he was wrong!" Chen Ma kowtowed heavily to Old Master Lin, her forehead hitting the ground with a "bang bang bang".
“Chengzhi,” Old Master Lin’s voice trembled.
It's true that he favors Lin Chengzhi, but if Lin Fengzhi were his grandson, he could still accept another grandson in his eyes.
"Bring another witness," Jiang Chi ordered.
Two more soldiers brought over, escorting an old woman.
Both of these old women had served Madam Lin before, and both had made mistakes and were driven away by Madam Lin.
That's why the two of them stood up and said that Lin Fengzhi was not the real young master of the Lin family, which is why Old Master Lin and the others believed them without hesitation.
"I was wrong, I was wrong..."
The woman brought to the scene knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
Old Master Lin shook violently a few times and looked at Lin Chengzhi on the bed.
There was another reason why he would believe the two old women: his most beloved and trusted grandson, Lin Chengzhi, had brought them to him!
just now……
He mistook a pearl for a fish eye and lost the pearl, hahaha...
Old Master Lin covered his face, silently, his body convulsing violently.
