"Third Young Master, the old lady's birthday is about to begin. The head of the family asked you mother and son to gather in the lobby as soon as possible. Oh! By the way, don't forget to bring birthday gifts!"
The person who spoke was the housekeeper of the Lin family.
No matter how low their status in the Lin family is, Lin Zimo, mother and son are still considered the masters of the Lin family.
But the housekeeper didn't show any respect to Lin Zimo and his son, and even kicked them in when they entered.
"I know Butler Wang, but I need to trouble you to make a special trip. We'll be there right away."
Lin Zimo's mother forced out a smile. As a master, she actually wanted to compliment a housekeeper!
However, this humble attitude did not win the other party's favor. Instead, it made Butler Wang even more arrogant and domineering.
"I know I'm going to cause trouble, but I'm still here! Like the eldest lady, the second lady has already been waiting in the lobby. Unlike you, you have to be specially invited." The housekeeper said sarcastically.
Lin Zimo became increasingly cold and clenched his fists.
"It's my fault, let's get over there." Lin Zimo's mother said with a smile.
"snort!"
Butler Wang snorted coldly. After looking around, his eyes lit up when he saw the famous wine on display in the room. He strode over and put it directly into his arms: "This wine is not bad, so consider it as an apology. Hurry up." ah."
After saying that, Butler Wang hummed a little tune and left leisurely.
Listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing, Lin Zimo couldn't bear it anymore and growled: "Sooner or later, I'm going to kill this snobbish bitch!"
"Okay, Butler Wang is an old man of the Lin family. He is still very prestigious in the Lin family. We can't offend him."
Lin Zimo's mother thought for a moment and took out a piece of extremely transparent green jade from the secret compartment under the pillow.
She touched the jade with great reluctance, thinking a lot, and said: "This is the jade your father gave me back then. It is quite expensive. You can take it as a birthday gift for grandpa."
"Mom, how can this be done! This is a relic left by dad, it has special meaning! Don't worry about the birthday gift, I..."
Before Lin Zimo could finish speaking, his mother waved her hand and interrupted: "Your father and I are the only son like you. Now your grandfather is seriously ill and we don't know how many days he can survive. Your task now is to take care of your grandfather." If you behave better while you are alive, you will be able to share more of your inheritance in the future. Once the old man passes away, our mother and I will definitely be kicked out of the Lin family, so you have to prepare for your future."
"Let's go! Let's go there quickly. We must not let them seize the topic again."
Without giving Lin Zimo a chance to speak, his mother pulled him towards the Lin family lobby.
When they arrived at the lobby, they discovered that other people had just arrived and Butler Wang had lied to them.
In this regard, Lin Zimo, mother and son, could only swallow the pain in their stomachs.
When everyone arrived, the atmosphere in the Lin family lobby suddenly became strange.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you have saved some money over the years, including several million. Today is my eightieth birthday, are you planning to come up with a birthday gift that will surprise everyone?"
Lin Zimo's second aunt, Lin Zisheng's mother, took the lead in attacking.
Lin Zisheng must have told his mother about the birthday gift. Looking at the gloating eyes of everyone around him, maybe everyone knows about the birthday gift and is just waiting to make Lin Zimo and his son look bad.
Lin Zimo's mother smiled: "Second sister-in-law, you know my situation. Zimo's father died early, and I don't have much income. Where can I get the money to buy a good birthday gift? I just have a piece of jade. I hope it can make the old man happy." .”
"Third brother and sister, my sister-in-law is not telling you, why have we never seen jade in this condition before? You brought out such a useless thing. Do you want to make the old man happy, or do you want to disgust the old man? Before the old man comes out, hurry up. , go and change one. I have been in the Lin family for so many years and I don’t have much money. I should be able to spend more than five million, right? Use this money to buy a better gift, be careful! "
A middle-aged lady stood up and her words were extremely sinister.
Lin Zimo's face became even more gloomy.
Even five million is known!
These bastards are indeed colluding! Lin Zimo's mother was at a loss when she heard what her two sisters-in-law said.
This jadeite was her most precious possession at the moment, but it became worthless junk in the eyes of others.
I'm afraid, today's birthday is going to be very bad for mother and son.
Seeing his mother's face turning red and white, Lin Zimo took two deep breaths, suddenly took a step forward and shouted: "Who said we don't have good birthday gifts! The birthday gifts I brought this time can cure grandpa's disease !”
For a moment, there was silence in the lobby.
Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Zimo with deep meaning, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Ahem~"
Lin Qishan, the second eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Zimo's second uncle, coughed a few times and said tentatively: "Zimo, you can't joke about this kind of thing. Could it be that you have found some panacea?"
Lin Zimo stared at Lin Qishan coldly and said with something in his words: "Second uncle, don't you know if I have a panacea? If you don't know, don't my second brother know?"
"I don't have any medicine in my hand..."
At this point, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Gao Ming had really taken the blood ginseng away.
But there is no medicine. What does Lin Zimo mean by cure?
Lin Zimo took out two hundred-dollar bills from his arms and said, "Although I don't have any medicine, I have the talisman given to me by the immortal brother!"
Quiet~
The entire lobby fell into silence again, but the next second burst into sarcastic laughter.
Everyone laughed so hard that they burst into tears.
"Zimo, you...you...you are so ridiculous. Even if you call the money a talisman, do you believe the words of a charlatan? And you say it with such confidence. If this spreads outside, wouldn't it? Are you making people laugh at the fact that there is a fool in our Lin family?" Lin Qishan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and completely let go of his worries.
"Third brother, aren't you crazy because of the stimulation? Grandpa loves you the most, and this is how you repay grandpa? Two hundred yuan... Our Lin family doesn't give you two hundred yuan? You are humiliating grandpa!" Lin Zisheng said sadly.
"snort!"
Second Aunt Lin Zimo snorted coldly: "I have told you before that the third brother died young and relied solely on his younger siblings, peasant women, for his upbringing. In the end, he only raised uneducated, short-sighted vulgar people! Look, they are all acting up now." This is what Guigui is doing."
As soon as the talisman came out, Lin Zimo, mother and son instantly became the targets of everyone's crusade, and they gradually became more confident in speaking.
"alright!"
Suddenly, Lin Qitian, the boss of the Lin family who had been silent, spoke up. After stopping everyone, he looked at Lin Zimo. Said: "Zimo, uncle has always known that you are a sensible and good boy. Why...how did you do such a ridiculous thing today? Now your grandfather is critically ill, and many families are staring at our Lin family and want to divide us. Even Shou The banquet was held secretly at home and I didn’t dare to invite any guests!”
"The stupid thing you did today will have a great negative impact on our Lin family if word spreads about it. Let's not do this next time."
At this time, the door of Mr. Lin's room was suddenly opened.
The Lin family's personal doctor walked out of the room and attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
"Doctor, where is my dad?" Lin Qitian hurried forward to greet him, followed closely by the others.
The doctor sighed and said with great shame: "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. We've tried all kinds of methods, but the old man's health is still getting worse. I'm afraid he won't survive tonight."
The sudden bad news made Lin Zimo look pale. In the entire Lin family, his grandfather loved him the most.
After his grandfather fell ill, he never felt the warmth of the Lin family again.
When the others heard the news, they didn't express any sorrow at all, and the corners of their mouths actually curled up.
"You should go see the old man for the last time." The doctor said.
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Lin Zimo rushed in first.
Seeing his grandfather's haggard face, emaciated body, and his body full of tubes, Lin Zimo suddenly felt distressed. He knelt down beside the old man's bed and cried, "Grandpa! Don't leave me!"
Seeing that Lin Zimo had already rushed in, the others hurriedly followed. After all, the whole show had to be done.
Lin Qitian came to the old man's hospital bed and said:
"Dad, do you really want to leave us? The Lin family still has many things waiting for you to deal with. If you leave, the Lin family will be in chaos! Without a person of the same age as the whole family, the Lin family may be meat on someone else's chopping block!"
"Dad, make a will! The Lin family cannot live without a leader."
After saying a lot, I am afraid that only the last sentence is the key point that Lin Qitian wants to say.
The old man is not dead yet, and everyone is eager to run for the head of the family, hoping to divide the old man's inheritance.
Lin Zimo got angry, pushed everyone away, and roared:
"Grandpa will not die!! With the talisman given by the fairy brother, grandpa will not die!!!"
