I Don't Want To Defy The Heavens

Chapter 97: Chapter 97- Sugar coated bullet

Facing such a dejected Liang Yongqi, he really couldn’t say anything and do anything.

What difference was this and having sex with a corpse?

Maybe Liang Yichu had obtained Old Master Liang’s love and went from the eldest who wasn’t that doted on, into the heir to the Liang Family.

The third son of the Liang Family became one that no one cared about.

He couldn’t relate to that as he was the only son in the Lin Family. Sadly he couldn’t understand what he was feeling.

No one bothered about the drunk Liang Yongqi. Neither did Lin Fan as he just let him lay on the table.

No one dared to help him up.

If they did, they would have to pay for him. One couldn’t fall for it and get cheated.

Returning to the Lin Manor.

“Cousin, I have broken through to Grade Nine, that Yuan Family old man definitely can’t beat me.” Zhou Zhongmao hurried over and said excitedly.

He wasn’t feeling excited for himself.

But because since his cultivation increased, he would have more ability to protect his cousin.

Last time the Yuan Family old man suppressed him. and he remembered it deeply in his heart. He was unable to protect his own cousin, that was a huge sin.

Now that he reached Grade Nine, he was confident in suppressing that old man.

“Very good, cousin is really happy.”

To have such a cousin, what else could he say?

He was filled with love.

To Lin Fan, his cultivation was fake. All those fighting and killing weren’t suitable for him.

His cousin’s cultivation increasing was good news, and it could save him from a lot of problems.

Zhou Zhongmao had a large smile on his face. To be able to gain cousin’s praise was huge encouragement to him.

Something weird was that when they talked about the Yuan Family, he thought about Yuan Tianchu. That fellow hadn’t appeared in a long time. That wasn’t the case in the past.

You City was such a small place.

It was good for one to retire.

Dinner.

He thought that it was going to be a simple family feast.

However, the moment he entered, he felt a gaze locking onto him.

It wasn’t a normal gaze and was filled with love.

Father’s gaze made Lin Fan really uncomfortable. He scratched his neck and asked, “Father, why are you looking at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?”

This hadn’t happened before.

In the past, if he came late his father wouldn’t wait for him.

Today he was late on purpose.

He didn’t expect his father to wait for him.

What was going on?

Something was wrong; something was definitely wrong.

“Nothing, can’t a father just look at his son?” Lin Wanyi said.

“Of course, of course. Look all you want.” Lin Fan said.

Lin Wanyi waved his hands, “Sit, today we made your favourite dishes.”

Weird.

It was just too weird.

His father was really different from usual, was there some huge secret here. Or was there a hole waiting for him to jump in?

Old Wu just sat there and smiled as he looked at him.

“What is going on today, is there something you all are hiding from me?” Lin Fan asked.

It was really weird. There was definitely something on. If there wasn’t, how would the situation be so awkward?

“Take out my precious wine.” Lin Wanyi said.

“Yes, Old Master.”

Lin Fan sat there and didn’t dare move his chopsticks. Father’s weird behavior made him a little nervous.

“Fan’er, Father was strict on you in the past. That was for your own good, do you understand?” Lin Wanyi said.

“I understand, I understand.”

Lin Fan nodded his head. He didn’t dare to say anything and just waited to see what his father was going to say.

He looked towards his cousin, who silently shook his head to express that he didn’t know what was going on.

It was with much difficulty did they send away Li Zhixiu. Please not let there be another one.

“However, you made me really disappointed. You have always not been hardworking, but I have no choice as you are my son. Even if you are trash, that wouldn’t affect your position in my eyes.” Lin Wanyi said emotionally. His words made Lin Fan’s heart jump.

What was going on?

Why did his father say such words?

That was not practical at all.

Very quickly, Old Wu walked over with a sealed jar of wine.

It was covered with a layer of dust.

Lin Fan looked left and right, and he contemplated. Were there any clues that he had missed out recently?

He thought about it for a long time but didn’t find any problems.

“Father, is something going to happen?” Lin Fan asked.

Lin Wanyi smiled, “No, let’s eat.”

Since his father said there was nothing, then there was definitely something. If he really believed that there was nothing, then he really was dumb.

Things wouldn’t happen for no reason.

The dinner was not normal, and it was really abnormal.

After drinking a few rounds, he started to probe and ask his father if he was trying to find another wife for him.

He didn’t suspect his father’s ability.

If he really wanted to, it wasn’t much of an issue to find a wife for him.

However, that wasn’t the case, which made Lin Fan heave a sigh of relief.

If that weren’t the matter, then everything else would be okay.

However, facing this unknown scheme, he was terrified. Why not just make everything clear and not beat around the bush?

Lin Wanyi kept it a huge secret, and before the time comes, he wouldn’t say anything.

That made Lin Fan panic inside.

Why not say everything right away, why bother to hide?

The dinner ended.

Lin Wanyi patted Lin Fan’s shoulder. He didn’t say anything and just left.

“Old Wu, what is going on with my father? Is he hiding something from me?” Lin Fan asked.

Old Wu said, “Young Master, Old Master is doing everything for your good.”

“I know, but you have to tell me what is it about, right?”

Lin Fan was really annoyed. He talked so much, but couldn’t he just get to the point?

Old Wu smiled and didn’t say anything. He followed Lin Wanyi and left.

Wow.

He asked for nothing.

He didn’t get anything out of them.

Old Wu and Father were the same. Since Father didn’t want to say anything, then Old Wu wouldn’t dare say it either.

He felt an itch in his heart. What was it that they couldn’t say right away and had to whet his appetite? What was so fun?

“Cousin, what is my Father hiding and planning?” Lin Fan pondered in uncertainty.

Things, where he had to use his brains, were just so annoying.

He lacked people with brains around him.

Zhou Zhongmao shook his head, “Cousin, if even you don’t know, then how would I know? Uncle might not be hiding anything.”

Forget it.

Forget it, he was asking about it. He could ask anyone but decided to ask his cousin. Wasn’t it useless?

Lin Fan shook his head and left. He had to think about this.

Yuan Family.

Yuan Tianchu’s mood got a lot better as he split his family’s farmland to the poor people.

Don’t ask him why he suddenly did that.

Actually, he didn’t know why either. He just felt that what the surnamed Lin person did was amazing, so he followed along.

Wow, it really did have some benefits.

A day ago, when he went to observe the farmland, he didn’t expect the refugees to kneel down and thank him.

This was something that he didn’t feel used to as this had never happened to him before.

The pride hidden deep down in his heart was filled with a huge sense of satisfaction.

What savior? What kind sir? What about erecting a plaque for him? All kinds of things were said.

He was even thinking that if these people knew how to speak like this in the past, would he need to rip them off so badly?

He felt like he wouldn’t be conned by that surname Lin fellow ever again. action

Whatever you do, I will follow.

Take a look.

Have a peek.

You gave your farmland to them; then I will too. I would also give more than you.

You want to gain benefits; I will gain those benefits first.

Everyone loved to listen to good things, and Yuan Tianchu was surrounded by the bootlicking of the refugees such that he was totally drunk from those words.

There were even some who sent their daughters over to the Yuan Family to serve him.

He definitely wanted them to do so.

However, he was righteous and declined to let the daughters farm along with them.

The scene became magnificent as they all knelt onto the ground and teared up.

Actually, Yuan Tianchu was placed in a difficult spot.

Send what girls? Look at how they looked like. They were thin like candles and all bones, and they looked worse than the servants his family have.

Not long later, Yuan Tianchu was shocked, and he realised that he found out Lin Fan’s true goal.

Giving the refugees farmland had pros and cons. The pros were that he got praised.

The cons would be that they would send their daughters to the Yuan Family.

If he accepted them, then the Yuan Family would have an increase in servants, which would result in them spending more to raise these refugees. That would spend a lot of time and effort.

Terrifying.

That was really terrifying.

As things slowly became clear, he realised the true goal of Lin Fan, which was why he felt fortunate that he rejected them.

“Tianchu.”

At that moment, Old Master Yuan appeared, “Follow me to the reading room.”

“Yes, Father.” Yuan Tianchu replied.

He didn’t know why Father looked for him, but it had to be something serious, especially since it was during the middle of the night.

This was definitely something really important.
