Chapter 222: Confiscating Lin Jingxuan’s Complete Power

“When is your brother coming to visit you?” Lin Jingxuan asked the woman as he hugged her close to him with a cigarette in his hand. He had a look of satisfaction on his face.

As Gu Feirou leaned on his chest, she replied lazily, “How should I know? Jing Xinze told me that he arrived several days ago, but I have yet to see him.”

“Okay. You must inform me when he visits you.”

“I don’t want to see him.”

“He’s your brother and he has travelled all the way from the Blue Tower just to see you. Meeting him is not something you can easily avoid.”

The woman answered with a snort, “Well, he hasn’t contacted me ever since he arrived a couple of days ago. Obviously, he doesn’t consider me his sister. I don’t need a brother like him.”

Curling his lips into a smile, the man coaxed her. “Alright, forget it. You don’t have to meet him if you don’t want to. Have you moved all your stuff over? I’ll be here to protect you once we start cohabitating. Nobody can try to get close to you.”

The woman was smitten by his honey-coated words. “Brother Jingxuan, you are the best!”

The man took a long drag on his cigarette and said, “I’m your husband. If I’m not good to you, then who else will be?”

“That’s so naughty of you!” The woman cooed coyishly.

“Oh, one more thing. You better cut down on your contact with Jing Xinze.”

“Why?”

“He’s a follower of the Blue Tower Royalty. Since your mother dislikes me, that applies to him too,” he retorted sarcastically.

“He wouldn’t dare. He’s just a small fry. What right does he have to dislike you? Brother Jingxuan, he’s just a servant. There’s no need for you to fret over this.”

The man merely snorted. “He really dislikes me.”

Frowning, the woman pressed him for more details. “Did he cause you trouble?”

The man dropped hints instead. “It’s not a big deal. Anyway, just stay away from him.”

“What did he tell you, Brother Jingxuan?” The woman took the bait.

“Nothing.”

Gu Feirou looked terribly unhappy. What nonsense did that lowly servant tell Brother Jingxuan?

Dong! Dong! Dong! Someone knocked on the door at that moment.

“Get lost!” The man lost his cool and screamed at the door.

“Y-Young Master, I have something to tell you.”

“Get lost! You’re fired!”

Bang!

He smashed the glass on the table against the floor.

The servant sounded visibly frightened as he stood outside the door but showed no intention of walking away. “O-Old Master Lin’s butler is here.”

The man was startled. Why had the d*mned old man sent his man there?

After a while, the door was unlocked from the inside.

Click.

The butler slowly made his way into the room. “How are you feeling, Young Master?”

The young chap mocked him. “How am I feeling? Did grandpa send you here to ask about me?”

Isn’t it a little too late to show concern for me now?

He had been ill in bed for many days, yet there had been no signs of concern from his grandfather. Now that he was well on his way to recovery, there was no need for any affection! He he!

The butler paused before saying, “So, I presume you are well now, Young Master?”

“What could have happened to me? I wouldn’t die!” The young man, who was half-naked, was sitting upright on the bed while leaning against the bed frame. The woman had already gotten up and was now sitting on a chair next to the bed. The clothes that had been lying disorderly on the floor moments ago had been put away. The windows in the room were wide open, and the breezy wind was constantly blowing across the room.

“Good to know that you’re fine now.”

“Is there anything else?”

“It is true that the old master has sent me here to inform you about some other matters too.”

The young man perked up when he heard that. “What is it?”

“Young Master Lin, you are no longer required at Lin Teng or any of its subsidiaries. Second Young Master has taken over all the companies of the Lin Family. They will be managed by him and his wife. The subsidiaries will be managed by Second Young Madam. The two of them will take care of the empire from now on.”
