Lin Mei never thought she would receive everything that was originally prepared for the Lin Family Young Master. Grandpa and Grandma adopted her and treated her as their own, which already made her very happy and feel fortunate.
She knew that she could never repay the great kindness of the Lin family in this lifetime.
Therefore, she was genuinely happy that the Lin family had finally found the Lin Family Young Master. She understood that only then could Grandpa and Grandma truly relax and be happy.
However, she also knew that once the Lin Family Young Master was found and returned, she would inevitably become his wife, an assistant who would help him handle matters.
This was something she had known from the beginning and had been preparing for all along.
Yet, when this moment truly arrived, she felt a bit flustered; after all, she was a woman.
"Oh, I guessed it." Lin Mei did not intend to hide what she was thinking, but she also did not say it directly. Instead, she spoke honestly; she was not a foolish woman. On the contrary, many times, her cleverness made her opponents wary. So from her recent experiences, she roughly understood that it was indeed the Young Master of the Lin family who had returned.
In fact, she even had a vague feeling that Lin Feng might be this Young Master.
There was no evidence, and she did not conduct any investigations. In any case, she felt that Lin Feng should be this Young Master, and even upon guessing this result, Lin Mei let out a sigh of relief.
After all, after these few days of contact, she felt that she knew Lin Feng fairly well.
And in her understanding, Lin Feng was neither born foolish nor disabled; he had some abilities. Although he was a bit lazy, who said that the Young Master of the Lin family needed to be very diligent?
"Yes, Grandpa knows you are smart. Right, your grandma and I have confirmed that Lin Feng is indeed the Young Master we have been looking for," Old Man Lin understood Lin Mei's reaction very well; it was normal for her to feel this way.
Lin Mei nodded. She did not ask how Grandpa could be so sure that Lin Feng was the Lin Family Young Master. She knew that Grandpa and Grandma had their own ways of judgment and they would not be wrong.
This was also a habit that Lin Mei had developed over the years. In the Lin family, besides enjoying the love from Grandpa and Grandma, she also understood one thing—obedience.
"Well, Grandpa, Grandma probably has their own considerations about not wanting to reveal themselves right after recognizing him?" Lin Mei continued. Although she was asking a question, she directly pointed out certain things. This was also a habit of hers; perhaps it seemed a bit assertive, but it undeniably reflected her strong capabilities.
She did not ask, "Grandpa, why didn't Grandma recognize me just now?" Instead, she first affirmed that Grandma had her own considerations before asking why.
This reflects the idea that "there's no need to be overly particular when speaking with smart people."
"Well, your Grandma and I considered that Lin Feng has been away from home for so long, and he might have some emotions about it. This is something we wanted to discuss with you. After all, Lin Feng will be in contact with you every day from now on. You can gradually get close to him in your own way. Of course, it would be good to have him come over to our house more often. In short, what we mean is to lay the groundwork slowly, and when the time is right, we will recognize Lin Feng," Grandpa Lin said directly, knowing that Lin Mei would understand.
"Okay, I understand," Lin Mei replied straightforwardly.
"Mei'er, since Lin Feng has been away from home for so many years, he must have gone through a lot. Let's take this slowly; I entrust this matter to you," Grandma Lin added softly at this moment. She wanted to remind Lin Mei about her attitude towards future interactions with Lin Feng and also to reassure her, fearing that Lin Mei might overthink things.
"Don't worry, Grandma. I, Lin Mei, will always do what's best for the Lin family," Lin Mei said, understanding her grandmother's concerns and offering a kind of assurance.
"Yes, my Mei'er will always be dear to me. Don't worry; even Lin Feng wouldn't dare to bully you," Grandma Lin said upon seeing how sensible Lin Mei was.
Her words were naturally a form of reassurance, meaning that as long as Lin Mei was good for the Lin family, the family would not treat her poorly. Their trust and affection for her would not diminish because of Lin Feng.
"Alright, Grandpa and Grandma, Mei'er still has some paperwork to handle, so I'll take my leave now, okay?" Lin Mei said as she felt the conversation was coming to an end.
"Go ahead, child. Don't tire yourself too much; your health is important," Grandma Lin said with a smile, knowing that Lin Mei needed some time alone.
Lin Mei left the study.
"Old man, how is it?" Grandma Lin asked.
"Hehe... Mei'er is quite sensible. Besides, she will be our granddaughter-in-law in the future and has grown up under our care. How could we not cherish her?" Grandpa Lin said with a smile, completely unconcerned about any emotions Lin Mei might have.
Today, Grandpa Lin was genuinely happy—not only did he learn who his grandson was, but he also realized that although his grandson might have suffered hardships, he had certain abilities. He believed that with a little nurturing, his grandson would soon be able to take over the family legacy.
At that time, Grandpa Lin might really be able to enjoy a peaceful life.
The next day, everyone in the Lin family began to pay attention to Lin Feng, but Lin Feng, the person involved, was completely unaware. He got up early as usual and drove to Lin Family Manor, intending to pick up Lin Mei for work.
"Lin Feng, so early? You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" When he arrived at the entrance of Lin Family Manor, he happened to see Old Man Lin exercising. As soon as Old Man Lin spotted Lin Feng, he walked over to greet him and asked enthusiastically.
"Uh, Old Man Lin, I just bought some breakfast on my way here. Is Lin Dong ready yet?" Lin Feng had already bought breakfast; he just hadn't eaten it yet, so he replied.
"Ah, young man, you don't understand. When you're young, you need to work hard on your career, but you also have to take care of your health. How can you treat breakfast casually? Come on, come on! Your grandpa hasn't had breakfast yet either; come inside and eat with me. Mei'er hasn't eaten yet either." Old Man Lin didn't care whether Lin Feng had bought breakfast or not; he pulled Lin Feng inside without waiting for him to lock his car.
Naturally, Old Man Lin didn't consider whether the car might be stolen here. At Lin Family Manor, no thief would dare to come around.
In fact, Lin Mei really hadn't eaten breakfast yet because Old Man Lin had strictly ordered her to wait for Lin Feng to arrive before eating. Otherwise, with Lin Mei's personality, she would never delay her work time just because she woke up late.
Thus, Lin Feng was pulled into the kitchen by Old Man Lin for breakfast.
When he entered, he saw that Grandma Lin was also there.
"Ah! Lin Feng is here? Come and try the century egg and lean meat porridge that Grandma made. Mei'er, you sit down too." Grandma Lin quickly served a bowl of porridge to Lin Feng as soon as she saw him.
Of course, Grandma Lin referred to herself as "Grandma" just like Old Man Lin did.
Whatever. If Lin Feng asked about it later, she could just say she got confused and called him the wrong name. Her grandson was right in front of her; if they couldn't acknowledge each other formally, at least she could indulge herself verbally!
Lin Feng felt even more confused and thought it was strange. He couldn't figure out why this was happening but attributed it to the fact that he had found several Millennium Ginseng plants for the family. Besides, Grandma Lin had already served him; he felt embarrassed not to take it from her.
So he quickly accepted it and said, "Thank you, Grandma Lin."
"Yes, Lin Feng, just call me Grandma; there's no need for such formality." Seeing that Lin Feng accepted it, Grandma Lin felt delighted and pressed on.
"Ah! Thank you, Grandma." Although Lin Feng wasn't a person who craved flattery or vanity, he knew that she genuinely appreciated him. So he decided not to be overly formal and simply responded naturally.
"Well, Lin Feng, come, sit down, no need to be polite. Grandpa will tell you, your grandma's century egg and lean meat porridge is delicious, but you have to add this. Eating it together makes it even better." Seeing that Lin Feng had already called Grandma Lin "grandma," Grandpa Lin knew he couldn't fall behind. He picked up a meat bun and handed it to Lin Feng.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lin." Lin Feng was indeed a bit flattered and said.
"Hey... Lin Feng, you call your grandma 'grandma,' so you should call me Grandpa too. It's not fair; if outsiders hear this, they might think only your grandma treats you well." Grandpa Lin was waiting for Lin Feng to say this, quickly adding that it was obvious he wanted to be called "Grandpa" since Lin Feng had already called his partner "grandma."
"Uh, thank you, Grandpa." Lin Feng really didn't expect the usually imposing Grandpa Lin to be so shameless. But now he was a guest in their home, and they were treating him so warmly; he could only play along and say it.
"Come on, Mei'er, you eat too." Grandma Lin was perceptive and realized that compared to the attention given to Lin Feng, she had somewhat neglected Lin Mei. She began to serve porridge for Lin Mei.
"Grandma, I can do it myself." Lin Mei was still a girl after all, and having been raised by the two elders since childhood, she had a sense of dependence on them. Seeing how warmly they treated Lin Feng earlier made her feel a bit overlooked. However, Grandma Lin's action warmed her heart; she knew this was the elders' way of showing their affection.
"Don't be polite with grandma; come on, it's good for girls to drink porridge. Drink more." Grandma Lin would not let Lin Mei serve herself at this moment. While speaking, she filled a bowl with porridge and handed it to Lin Mei.
Next, prompted by Grandma Lin, Grandpa also picked up another meat bun for Lin Mei and said, "Mei'er, managing the company for Grandpa is tiring enough. Here, have some nutrition and work hard. Whatever happens, Grandpa will always be your support."
Holding a bowl of her grandma's porridge and eating the bun handed over by Grandpa, Lin Mei desperately held back her urge to cry and said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."
Lin Mei's words were double-edged; on one hand, she thanked Grandpa and Grandma for serving her food; on the other hand, she expressed gratitude for their unwavering care. After learning about Lin Feng's presence, she understood that this was their way of showing her their continued affection.
The meaning was clear: Mei'er, don't be afraid; Grandpa and Grandma still love you just like before.
