She followed Old Master Tang to his study.
“Grandpa, what’s going on with the Lin family?” Su Bei asked.
“Old Master Lin is the founding minister of S Country. Be it in the past or now, he’s very famous in the capital. After Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin got married, they had a son and a daughter. Their lives were very blissful.
“But many years ago, a maid working in the Lin family was pregnant with Old Master Lin’s child and gave birth to a daughter. That’s your mother, Lin Shulian.
“As the maid passed away shortly after giving birth, Old Madam Lin disregarded the past and raised Lin Shulian as her daughter. She did not mistreat her.
“After that, Old Master Lin was injured by a group of villains in an accident, causing him to be paralyzed. Lin Shulian served him every day until he passed away.
“However, not long after, the Lin family received evidence that your mother, Lin Shulian, was responsible for Old Master Lin’s injury. However, the evidence wasn’t sufficient. After so other matters, the Lin family and Lin Shulian completely turned against each other…” Old Master Tang told Su Bei everything in detail. Su Bei asked in surprise, “That ans my mother is the daughter of the Lin family’s mistress?”
Although it was a little disrespectful to say that, that was Su Bei’s first thought and she even felt a little disgusted.
This reminded her of her unhappy experiences in the Su family.
Old Master Tang said in a low voice, “This is all in the past. I’ve never interfered in the grudges of the previous generation. Besides, these things would affect the next generation. So, I don’t have any opinions about your mother.
“However, your uncle, Lin Hancheng, has always harbored great hatred toward your mother. He would suppress her from ti to ti, causing the Tang family to rise and fall over the years. Therefore, I can understand why he has more complaints than your aunt’s family.”
“I see,” Su Bei replied softly.
“You shouldn’t be involved in this matter. You don’t have to care about the family matters. Just do your own thing,” Old Master Tang said lovingly. “I can still settle the matter about Jingbei Sheng Tang Square…” Before he could finish speaking, he coughed violently. It was obvious that his body was not in agreent with his inner thoughts.

“Grandpa!” Su Bei’s heart ached when she saw this. Everyone in the family had their own thoughts. Each of them could not wait to take the greatest advantage and snatch away the best project.
On the surface, Old Master Tang appeared dignified, but in reality, he was kind-hearted. He was understanding about most matters. How could he bear all of this with his body?
“I’m alright…” Old Master Tang patted her hand.
Tang Yue also rushed in. “Grandpa, are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Old Master Tang replied. “Grandpa, with the state your health is in, you don’t have to worry about anything else,” Tang Yue said. “Why don’t we have Su Bei handle Jingbei Sheng Tang Square?”
“How is that possible?” Old Master Tang was shocked.
“Su Bei doesn’t have anything else to do anyway. Besides, we might not be able to make this project thrive. If Su Bei manages it, whatever result she attains will be sothing miraculous. It might even be effective, right?” Tang Yue said.
Actually, she had planned it very well. If she took the central square and Su Bei took the suburban square, it was obvious that she would benefit most out of it.
When it ca to the matter of inheritance in the future, she would have an excuse. Didn’t Su Bei already take it to a square? What right did she have to receive other things?
