Chapter 95 The Eve of the Cataclysm
This family meeting in the manor eventually involved shocking results.
The first one is naturally Lin Wei's announcement in public that she would marry Lin Hai after he graduated from Qingyuan College. This announcement was nothing more than an earthquake in the Lin family on the riverside star. People did not have time to vent their time and envy Lin Hai's good luck with the most beautiful and strongest woman in the Lin family... Instead, she quickly calculated in her heart that this result would eventually bring such reshuffle and turmoil to the family.
This is actually still the result of a political game.
The Lin Jiang, Lin Yuanshan faction, who knows that the family has ulterior motives, has always used Lin Wei's blood relationship. After all, she will marry out in the future as a reason to attack the count Lin Wei's lineage. Lin Wei's ability is obvious to everyone. If she were in the family, Lin Jiang, Lin Yuanshan herself knew very well that his two sons were not her opponent at all. Now, Lin Wei actually announced that she would become a husband and wife with Lin Hai in the future. Such an unexpected turning point. Such news can be imagined for the family and even for Wayne's company.
When the news spread, I was afraid that Lin Hai, the illegitimate son, would be immediately overwhelmed by the spits of young talents who admired Lin Wei in Wayne's company.
But in the eyes of the senior veterans of the family, they knew that this was a stopgap trick that Lin Wei had used. She used this method to re-control the company. This woman's strength and methods were indeed difficult to deal with.
Such a result is enough to have a profound impact on the family, but it has not yet faced a rebound from many opposition forces in the family and company, because the news that the second air thief was about to attack the New South Star Base, the upcoming catastrophe swept every family member of the meeting.
In the face of such a crisis, Lin Wei's announcement also seemed much less shocking. Because if Wayne's company was defeated, the Lin family on the riverside star was weak, and the trees fell and money scattered, everyone's ending would inevitably be quite miserable.
The unity and cohesion shown by the noble family in the face of disaster is the reason why the family can exist for thousands of years in the empire.
At this moment, everyone abandoned their original intrigue and supported each other.
Even Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan promised to help second some additional security forces before leaving and go to the industrial base to assist in defense.
The rest of the people, in their own position, did their best to start gathering resources, stabilize the company and family, arrange the company's internal affairs, and at the same time began to cooperate with the actions of Count Lin Wei and others to deliver necessary supplies to the industrial base, and began to plan an emergency evacuation of employees at the base to safe areas.
The entire family was fully operational in the crisis. At this time, the senior executives of Wayne Company will come up with various plans to deal with the attack on a sleepless night.
When cars left the manor urgently, Lin's Manor at No. 99 Maple Leaf Road returned to tranquility
As usual, the manor stands on the side of a quiet road. The street lights and paulownia trees on both sides of the road extend infinitely to extremely far places. It is like a waterway with no end. At this time, the Lin Family Manor, with bright yellow lights from the inside to the outside, is like a lighthouse at the end of this long road, quietly demonstrating the history and heritage of the building, giving people a peaceful and quiet feeling.
However, such tranquility is more like a brief break on the eve of the storm.
Perhaps in the next moment when the breathing stops, all this will be flattened by the storm!
When members of the Lin family and veterans left one after another, all rushed to overcome this disaster, the door of the study closed again. This time, the Earl Lin Wei, Lin Wei and others discussed the plan to go to New South Star.
It was discussed until the night before the study room was opened again.
Lin Wei and several pilots who had been urgently summoned to the manor came out with a new plan. In the quaint door behind him was Lin Wei on the leather chair behind the mahogany table. Although what happened made him look a little tired, the outline of his face was in the bright and dark projection department, which looked extremely tough, like a sculpture cut by a knife and an axe.
It was not until Lin Wei and others left the door that his voice rang out from behind, "Let's go early tomorrow morning, and today... rest early."
Lin Wei walked out of the study and came to the hall. Lin Hao, who had been waiting on the sofa, immediately stood up and greeted her. The worries and indignation in her eyes finally vented at this moment, "Today, at the meeting, they were too much... They only cared about their own faces, but never thought about how much you have paid for the family, sister! Why do they say that!..."
Lin Hao's confession was halfway through. He still kept his hair hanging on his forehead, and Lin Wei stretched out his hand and patted his shoulders gently. Then she smiled quietly, "It's okay... what others say, don't repeat it. Since you know they are for themselves, what's there to blame? And I, it's okay..."
Seeing Lin Wei still standing like a lotus flower, Lin Hao felt a little painful in his heart. Although his sister was domineering to him when he was a child, as time goes by, she became more and more outstanding as she grew up. As a playboy, Lin Hao rarely admired him, but it is undeniable that this sister, who he had been sticking to her since childhood, was his first object of respect.
For Wayne Company, Lin Hao is self-aware. Those people respect him on the surface, but in fact they look down on him privately. However, even these rebellious people can hardly hide their fear and awe in the face of Lin Wei. He is somewhat proud and happy. No matter what he does, no matter what he does in the future, it seems that this beautiful woman will hold the wind and rain in front of her with her arrogance and strength, and will not affect her every little bit.
Lin Hao felt a sense of security. Sometimes he felt that if he had just played with her, he would never have to worry about the struggle for power and mutual struggle in his family, because this woman would always handle all matters in a orderly manner. She always stood in front of him and dealt with all the storms.
And now, for the sake of the family, she is playing with marrying the illegitimate child...
Why? An inexplicable excitement and a suffocating obstruction of his chest made him difficult to breathe.
This woman with a beautiful face and a perfect figure in his heart will eventually marry the guy from the slums in the future. Her delicate and slender hands, as delicate as soft jade, will be held and played with by the rough calloused hand in the future. No matter how he thinks, he cannot accept the buffalo of chewing beautiful peonies.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his shoulders trembled slightly because of his extreme unwillingness.
Then he felt his face suddenly be wrapped in cold nephrite.
It was Lin Wei's hand, who patted his cheek. Just like when she was a child, her indifference and calm aura in the conference room before seemed to have become much softer at this moment. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly relaxed, and her quiet face seemed to have a tired look, murmured, "It doesn't matter... Maybe sometimes, we can't help it..."
Can't help themselves? Lin Hao felt his heart throbbing. Yes, facing the family affairs and the disasters and crises that are about to come, they can't help themselves!
After a brief comfort, Lin Wei's long skirt was swirling gently. She carried the hem of the skirt and walked gracefully along the stairs into her room. Only under the gaze of the forest in the distance, she left a glimpse of a graceful figure.
Seeing Lin Hao's gaze that immediately looked over, Lin Hai smiled gently, made a comforting gesture of "Go to bed early" and left the corridor.
Leaving Lin Hao to be crazy about Lin Hai's calm look, what does this guy mean? Do you think he hasn't grown up yet?
Why do I get angry and depressed every time I see him: I have to reduce my life by ten years if I continue like this. Lin Hao thought so angry.
The manor sinks into the last tranquility.
The night was already very deep. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was an artificial lake in the backyard, and above the head was a deep night sky. Lin Hai could also feel the panic and fear that was suppressed by everyone's heart when the disaster of the Lin family was approaching. So the entire manor seemed to have a heavy atmosphere.
In just a flash, Lin Hai seemed to see a familiar figure by the lake in the distance. After pondering for a moment, he turned around and walked out of Fangsi.
When he came to the backyard lawn, he followed the artificial bridge across the lake, and stepped on the colorful stars at the foot of the reflected lake water. He saw the figure before. The other party sat by the opened swimming pool, and was freely penetrated into the water with barefoot... It turned out to be Lin Wei. But she had already changed into a white nightgown and was staring at the blue swimming pool reflected by the lights. He heard the sound behind her, and subconsciously turned his head quickly. When he saw Lin Hai, he was stunned for a moment, then he plucked his red hair, turned around and ignored him, and looked at the water surface of the swimming pool.
Lin Hai sat down next to her and said, "Can't sleep? Are you worried about tomorrow and even the future?"
Lin Wei didn't comment. Even sitting by the swimming pool gave people a cold aura as always. She was too lazy to answer questions without nutrition, and even Lin Hai might look down on her eyes like there was nothing air.
Lin Hai felt a little embarrassed. Obviously, she wanted to be alone at this moment, and Lin Hai didn't want to face the deliberate indifference of others unwelcome, so she was about to get up and leave. When she heard Lin Wei's voice suddenly sounding in the water and the quiet night, "That... the last time I apologize."
"What?" Lin Hai once suspected that he had heard it wrong and stared at her side face.
Lin Wei turned her head, staring at him with starry eyes, a hint of impatience flashed across the deepest part, suspected that this was Lin Hai's pretending gesture, and raised her eyebrows slightly, this time the voice became colder, "I said that I was in the slim hall last time, and the fact that I asked you to get off the car halfway after that... I apologized for this... are you satisfied?"
Lin Hai looked at her without blinking. Seeing Lin Wei, she could not help but observe her, looking at her beautiful rainbow eyes floating in her deep, without any evasion or anger. She sighed, "Actually, when you talk to others, you don't need to always look like you step on others' heads. Even if you apologize, why does it make people feel so aggressive?"
Lin Wei's jaw was slightly sunken, as if she was silent, and she seemed to be thinking, then she said, "Then how am I playing? Since childhood, I have been in the company... I have never said a word of sorry to anyone... Are you not satisfied with this?" This is true. Even when they bullied Lin Hao since they were young, Lin Wei never took the initiative to give in.
Lin Hai shook his head, "It's here again... or the purpose is too strong. Why do you think of others being satisfied? Are you negotiating? Even if you apologize, you still have thorns on your body. Can you be more tactful? It's like you're quarreling with people at any time, at least smile first... Yes, the corners of your mouth are upturned, so beautiful
"You don't act too timid..." Lin Wei's smile was on the corner of her mouth, but her words were cold and cold.
"Ha..." Seeing her strange appearance, Lin Hai subconsciously thought of a tattered cloth bear in Haizhou Star Trash, and couldn't help laughing.
Perhaps a smile is indeed very contagious to humans. Seeing Lin Hai’s expression changes, especially knowing that the reason is his current expression.
Lin Wei couldn't hold on anymore, her stiff expression stretched uncontrollably...
The two laughed at each other under the magnificent sea of stars.
"Why did you suddenly apologize to me? You find your conscience?"
"I just feel that sometimes you are innocent, including your origin and being taken to the Riverside Star. Just because of your identity, people treat you prejudice and differently, and are not fair to you... I just suddenly remembered and felt that you were pitiful alms, and you didn't take it too seriously."
Lin Hai was amused and crying, "Should I be happy or angry? Are you comforting me or hitting me?"
"Just just do good deeds..." The breeze blew on his face, Lin Wei looked at the strand of brown hair with a mistake, looked at the endless sea of stars above her head, and smiled, "Maybe after tomorrow, we may never come back. In addition, we happened to meet it, and I would not suffer any loss if I express my apology or something.
Hearing the gray tone in his words, Lin Hai frowned, "You are so pessimistic that you can't come back? Are the pirates really so vicious?"
Lin Wei was helpless, "In the past, we could give up the New South Star Base, temporarily abandon it, and wait for the thief to leave before rebuilding it... But now, if the New South Star Industrial Zone is destroyed, then Wayne's company is not far from bankruptcy. For the Earl, even at the most critical moment, he would not evacuate the base. He would definitely survive and die with the industrial base. In that case, I would not leave."
"You're a newcomer, so you don't know what Wayne's business means to us... Maybe you can't understand this mentality of living and dying with the family business... So, cherish this apology. Maybe it's the last time."
"Not doing this heavy thing... Although the air thief is a desperate person, he has not yet reached the point of being unscrupulous. Knowing that Wayne's company is prepared in advance, they may give up the retreat."
"Of course this is the best result, I hope so..."
"So, if this crisis is over, what you said before..." Lin Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of her fierce announcement at the meeting. He was really unaware of his illegitimate child. He was so shot while lying down. What he did was replay was that no one cared about what his opinion was, so he really wanted to fight.
"Of course it will be executed. I will indeed marry you after you graduate..."
Lin Wei's rainbow eyes looked at him with deep rainbow eyes and pulled her barefoot back from the water.
Then she got up, and the white nightgown made her body look slender and beautiful under the slightly cold night wind.
"But you understand that we only have the name of a husband and wife, and we cannot have any reality of a husband and wife. You don't want to make extravagant delusions for those dirty things..." Seeing Lin Wei turn around barefoot, walk back to the manor under the stars, gradually fading away from Lin Hai a little ridiculous... What's the feeling of being disliked?
