Chapter 556 General Chapter
The phone suddenly vibrated, and the word "father" on the screen was glaring.
Lin Ci'an frowned and gently pulled his hand away: "I'll take a call."
Walking to the balcony, the night breeze brought the coolness of early autumn. On the other end of the phone, Lin's father's voice was emotionless: "I heard that you beat up someone from the Guo family at the cocktail party today?"
"Guo Mingjie was the first to make the move."
Lin Ci'an lied subconsciously and didn't even understand why he had to protect Chu Ziyu.
“The news has spread among the board.”
Father Lin paused and asked, "Have you thought through the matter between you and Guo Mingjie?"
Lin Ci'an looked towards the bedroom, where Chu Ziyu was curled up in the quilt: "Yeah."
"That child..." Father Lin hesitated to speak.
"He's different." Lin Ci'an's voice suddenly became firm, "Dad, I'm serious this time."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and finally only a sigh came: "Bring him to the family dinner next week."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ci'an rubbed his temples.
He didn't expect that his father would know about Chu Ziyu's existence so soon, and he didn't expect that his father would be willing to accept him.
At the same time, in the Lin family's study, Father Lin looked at the investigation documents sent by his subordinates and compared them with the documents sent anonymously a month ago.
The marriage between the Lin family and the Guo family was originally for the Guo family's port project, but this document confirms that the Guo family has serious financial fraud and the port project is actually on the verge of failure.
As early as the first day he came into this world, Chu Ziyu secretly passed the evidence of Guo's financial fraud to Lin's father.
Lin's father began to secretly withdraw his investment a month ago.
After hanging up the phone, Father Lin turned and looked out the window.
In the twilight, the gardener was pruning a osmanthus fragrans, which was Lin Ci'an's mother's favorite flower when she was alive.
"Qingwan, Xiaoan really likes this child. I don't want to be the bad guy."
Chu Ziyu squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Ci'an's back as he answered the phone. He licked the corner of his mouth and said, "I really want to tear off this suit right now."
When Lin Ci'an turned around, he found Chu Ziyu standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his thin figure outlined in the moonlight.
“Did it wake you up?”
Chu Ziyu's expression instantly returned to being confused.
He shook his head and walked over barefoot on the carpet: "Mr. Lin, are you going to... kick me out?"
The sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Lin Ci'an felt a pain in his chest, and reached out to hold the person in his arms: "No."
The hug came so suddenly that both of them were stunned. Chu Ziyu's breath sprayed on his neck, with a faint scent of gardenia.
Lin Ci'an could feel the other person's accelerated heartbeat, exactly the same as his own.
"My father wants to see you," he whispered.
Chu Ziyu raised his head suddenly, his eyes wide open: "Can I, can I?"
"Why not?" Lin Ci'an asked, stroking his red and swollen cheek with his thumb, "Unless you don't want to."
"I think!" Chu Ziyu blurted out, then lowered his head with red ears, "I mean..."
Lin Ci'an suddenly chuckled, and the vibration of his chest was transmitted to Chu Ziyu: "I know."
At this moment, he suddenly realized that all the defenses he had built up had collapsed when this little liar looked at him with tears in his eyes.
At the same time, the Guo family villa was brightly lit.
"waste!"
Guo's father smashed the teacup at Guo Mingjie's feet and said, "You can't even keep an eye on a toy!"
Guo Mingjie, who was wearing a plaster cast, lowered his head, with veins popping out on his forehead: "It was Lin Ci'an who first--"
“I don’t care whose fault it is!”
Father Guo interrupted sharply, "The port approval document hasn't come down yet. Are you getting a divorce at this critical moment? Do you know how much leverage the Lin family has over us?"
