Chapter 546: Chapter 546: rging Lu Youxi’s Company
This must be what Lin Zhenghao dreaded the most.
So once Lu Youxi entered the door, Lin Zhenghao would probably take advantage of his current capability to quickly make a move.
He might even have to figure out a way to take over all the companies under Lu Youxi’s na.
Lin Jingcong rarely found himself agreeing with Lin Jingming, and at this mont, he chuckled lightly, “One with an illegitimate child before marriage and the other twice-married, they truly are a match.”
Lin Jingshen glanced at Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming without a word.
Regardless of what they said, he was going to get what he wanted anyway.
Lin Jingshen had also co to a realization now.
He admitted that he was indeed fond of Lu Youxi, and he could not forget her.
He was with Lu Youzhen previously because she resembled Lu Youxi.
But a stand-in was, after all, just a stand-in.
Lu Youzhen was far inferior to Lu Youxi.
Now that the option of marrying soone of equal social status was off the table, Lin Jingshen found himself strangely relieved.
This ant that his family would no longer oppose him being with Lu Youxi.
It was as if he had stumbled upon a ray of hope in the dark.
Mrs. Lin was still not very happy about it.
Even though Lin Jingshen already had an illegitimate child, she still felt that Lu Youxi was not a good match for Lin Jingshen.
But Lin Zhenghao said, “Lu Youxi is indeed the best choice.”
“Though her family background isn’t great, her own abilities are.” Now that they intended for Lin Jingshen to marry Lu Youxi, Lin Zhenghao’s opinion of her had changed.
He no longer harbored the sa hostility towards Lu Youxi, nor did he keep belittling her as before.
Now, he could correctly recognize Lu Youxi’s capabilities and acknowledge that she was competent.
“Once she’s part of the family, we’ll rge all of her companies into Lin’s.” Lin Zhenghao beca increasingly satisfied with the thought and couldn’t help but laugh, “Especially her Youshu Hotel’s location, it’s wasted in her hands. Entrusting it to Lin’s is the only way to reach the desired class.”
Luckily, Lu Youxi wasn’t there, or she would have spat in his face.
Pah!
Shaless!
If you ask Lu Youxi who’s more shaless, the Lu Family’s elders or Lin Zhenghao, she really couldn’t say.
The Lu Family’s elders and Lin Zhenghao might have different approaches, but they both converge on the sa end goal: to take possession of others’ things.
Even Zhou Shuyan would turn pale upon witnessing this.
He had never seen such brazen shalessness.
So it turns out that Lin Jingshen’s shalessness was a true reflection of Lin Zhenghao’s.
Mrs. Lin, upon hearing Lin Zhenghao’s words, started to calculate the value of the companies in Lu Youxi’s hands, rolling her eyes.
Of course, she couldn’t co up with any exact figures, but she thought it through roughly.
Without thinking too hard, as soon as she took a serious look, Mrs. Lin was shocked to find that Lu Youxi was actually so wealthy.
Now, even Mrs. Lin was no longer opposed, and even said, “Once Lu Youxi marries into the family, we’ll first rge her companies into our Lin Family. She can’t refuse. Once she’s married into the Lin Family, we’re all one family, so why distinguish between you and ?”
The elder and younger sister-in-law of the Lin Family both scoffed secretly upon hearing Mrs. Lin’s words.
When coveting others’ property, Mrs. Lin knew how to say that we’re all one family, with no division between you and .
Normally, she clearly distinguished between her daughters-in-law and the Lin Family.
The daughters-in-law were clearly outsiders.
Lu Youxi wasn’t even married into the family yet, and even her own marriage was still intact; it was unknown whether she would fancy Lin Jingshen or not. Yet, Lin Zhenghao and his wife were already plotting to take over her companies.
Their thoughts differed from those of Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming.
Because they lived with the Lin Family, they knew all too well how annoying and depressing it was to deal with these people.
Fortunately, they had money and could spend it to vent.
For soone like Lu Youxi, who had her own business, and a husband of little competence, wasn’t that ideal?
If the husband was incompetent, with no say at ho, he’d have to listen to her.
She didn’t need to pay attention to anyone’s opinion, acting entirely on her own wishes.
Nor would her husband and in-laws dare to give her trouble.
Why should Lu Youxi bother with the muddy waters of the Lin Family, especially since entering the Lin Family ant losing her companies?
Lu Youxi wasn’t foolish; even if the Lin Family didn’t disclose their intentions to her, having dealt so much with Lin Zhenghao and Lin Jingshen, she was well aware of their shalessness. Could she not guess their sches?
One option was having the business in her hands, being the head of the household, with her word carrying weight at ho.
The other was risking losing control of her business, having to endure the looks of the Lin Family once she joined them, and being looked down upon by Mrs. Lin.
The first option was clearly better.
It all depended on whether Lu Youxi would be blinded by the apparent wealth of the Lin Family.
Just like Lu Youzhen did.
After all, given a choice, they would definitely pick the first option.
Neither of them voiced their thoughts, but they ca to this conclusion in their minds simultaneously.
Just then, they heard Mrs. Lin continue, “After all, our family is powerful. Handing over her companies to Lin’s, with our backing, we can surely lead her companies to even better developnt.”
“If she has any brains and can see the long-term picture, she should hand over her companies to us to manage.” Mrs. Lin spoke with righteous indignation, as if all of Lu Youxi’s belongings were already the property of the Lin Family.
The elder and younger sister-in-law of the Lin Family disdained Lu Youxi, but were also stunned by Mrs. Lin’s shalessness.
Lu Youxi, though successful in her business, was as Lin Jingcong and Lin Jingming said, ultimately without a powerful maternal family.
So deep down, they still looked down on Lu Youxi.
“Since no one has any objections, then it’s settled,” Lin Zhenghao concluded, telling Lin Jingshen, “You hurry up and wrap things up with Lu Youxi.”
Mrs. Lin had her own scheming, “Once we’ve rged Lu Youxi’s companies into the Lin Family, and she’s given birth to a grandson for our Lin Family, then it’s okay to divorce her later on.”
“You have an already born child, plus the one that Lu Youzhen gave birth to. Two sons are enough,” Mrs. Lin said, “Let’s not have this country bumpkin take a place ant for our Lin Family’s daughters-in-law.”
“By then, with the issue of Jingshen’s illegitimate child fading in the circle, and our Lin Family having swallowed up Lu Youxi’s companies, our strength will have increased further. Once we grow stronger, will we worry about not finding a well-matched daughter-in-law?” Mrs. Lin said.
The elder and younger sister-in-law of the Lin Family were genuinely shocked.
They hadn’t expected Mrs. Lin to be so shaless, even more shaless than Lin Zhenghao.
Agreeing to let Lu Youxi into the family was with this mindset.
They wanted her companies while also wanting her to bear sons for them.
And once everything was accomplished, to kick her out the door?
The elder and younger sister-in-law of the Lin Family were starting to worry about themselves.
Could it be that Lin Zhenghao and his wife were quietly scheming against them too, waiting to quickly discard them once they were no longer useful?
Without exchanging a single glance, both decided they would find an opportunity to talk to their maternal families about this tonight, to be on guard.
They would also be better off distancing themselves as soon as possible if they could.
Lin Zhenghao actually quite agreed with Mrs. Lin’s idea and nodded, “Exactly, Lu Youxi is ultimately not good enough for our family.”
Lin Zhenghao then said to Lin Jingshen, “Agreeing to her joining the family is rely a temporary expedient.”
