"If I say no?" Although interrupted by Old Lin, Lin Feng was never someone easily led, even in thought.
"Hehe... It's normal for you to say no; that's the spirit of a man from the Lin family," Old Lin seemed to have come to some realization at that moment. He chuckled at Lin Feng and said.
"Oh..." Lin Feng responded with a simple "oh," then fell silent, knowing that Old Lin would continue to express his true intentions.
"So, I think we can do this, Lin Feng. Let's try this: some things can only be understood through experience. Why don't you give being the Young Master of the Lin family a shot? We'll set a limit of one month. If you really feel that this identity doesn't suit you, whether it's due to personal dislike or other reasons, we will give ourselves a chance. If after trying it out, you still can't accept the identity of the Lin Family Young Master, then I won't force you. Just consider it my fault for bringing this upon the Lin family," Old Lin suggested. By the end of his words, Lin Feng noticed a hint of melancholy in Old Lin's expression.
He understood that for someone of Old Lin's stature to show such emotion in this situation meant he was completely unguarded with his grandson. On the other hand, it also indicated that he was contemplating some difficult truths. After all, there was no successor, and accepting just anyone was not easy, especially for an elder who had dedicated his life to the prosperity of the Lin family.
Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a pang of pity for this old man.
Regardless of the reasons, this elder had indeed devoted his entire life to the Lin family, and that burden was significant.
Thus, what was on the tip of his tongue turned into, "Alright, I'll give it a try."
"Really?" Both Old Lin and Grandma Lin initially thought they would need to discuss this matter thoroughly with Lin Feng. However, in the end, Old Lin had to admit he found it hard to read his grandson.
Both elders believed that Lin Feng shouldn't compromise so easily. Yet the fact was that he had indeed compromised—and did so quite decisively.
So the two elders stared at each other in surprise, unsure of what to say.
But soon enough, they regained their composure and asked Lin Feng, "Is that true? Lin Feng?"
Clearly, although they had come back to their senses, they still found it hard to believe that Lin Feng accepted so quickly.
Could it really be that easy? As it turned out, perhaps it could be.
"What's wrong? Do I look insincere?" At this moment, Lin Feng didn't regret his impulsive agreement; instead, he countered with a question.
"No," both elders waved their hands repeatedly in response.
"Then isn't that settled?" Initially wanting to retract his somewhat impulsive promise, upon hearing their comically synchronized response, Lin Feng shrugged and smiled broadly.
Today has been quite strange. Lin Feng never expected to agree to Old Master Lin's so-called suggestion, but somehow, the words that came to his lips turned into something he initially didn't want to say. Could this be what they call the subconscious?
Well, regardless of whether it's the subconscious or conscious awareness, since Lin Feng has already agreed, he might as well try to accept it.
"Alright, since that's the case, let me tell you about some situations in our Lin family," Old Master Lin began to explain some things to Lin Feng.
"Wait a minute, Old Master, didn't we just go over this?" Lin Feng suddenly felt puzzled and asked.
"Hehe... what we discussed earlier was just a general overview. Now that you've agreed to give it a try, I naturally need to tell you some specific details. Otherwise, how can you take on the role of Young Master Song? You have quite a burden on your shoulders, kid," Old Master Lin explained with a smile upon seeing Lin Feng's question.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded and began to listen confidently.
"Our Lin family has been passed down for three generations. In terms of business, the Golden Dragon Group is our only venture. Of course, Mei'er will help you get familiar with the entire group's operations gradually; you'll learn all of that later. During the time we've been looking for you, we've also found you a good helper—a good daughter-in-law," Old Master Lin said with a beaming smile.
"What?" Lin Feng was quite surprised. How could they arrange a marriage for him when they couldn't even find him?
"Hehe... after all, we didn't know when we would find you or what you had grown into over the years. So, as a precaution, we raised Mei'er to assist you with everything in the future," Old Master Lin explained with a smile.
"Lin Mei?" Lin Feng was even more astonished now. He never expected that Lin Mei, Old Master Lin's so-called granddaughter, would actually be his wife—more accurately, an unwed child bride.
Indeed, according to Old Master Lin's explanation, Lin Mei could indeed be considered a child bride. Moreover, if he were to truly accept everything from the Lin family in the future, she would be very helpful.
Lin Mei could even assist him with having children; that could certainly be considered comprehensive support.
After learning all of this, while Lin Feng admired the foresight of the two elders, he also felt somewhat strange.
Lin Mei—his wife? Suddenly, Lin Feng felt an indescribable sensation.
It was too odd.
No, it wasn't rejection; it was just a peculiar feeling.
"Furthermore, we've also found you a suitable daughter-in-law from the Xiao Family," Old Master Lin seemed to be testing his newly acknowledged grandson's ability to accept this information and added.
"What? Xiao Yue?" Lin Feng was really confused and asked.
"Yes, that's right. I see that you and this child get along quite well, so it's not a problem," Grandpa Lin replied affirmatively.
Indeed, Lin Feng and Xiao Yue did get along well, and at that time, upon hearing this news, Grandpa Lin even sent Lin Mei over to separate them, definitely not thinking it was "not a problem" back then.
After all, Lin Feng was not the Young Master Song of the Lin family at that time, and with outsiders trying to take advantage of his grandson, as the Grandpa, he naturally tried to stop it.
Thus, there followed a series of events where Lin Mei brought Lin Feng closer to her in order to keep him out of Xiao Yue's sight.
Looking back, both Lin Feng and Grandpa Lin felt a bit nostalgic.
After all, it seemed like some things were just meant to be, something they couldn't deny.
Wasn't it?
"But is this really appropriate?" Although Lin Feng was quite capable, he still asked.
"Why not? Our Lin family doesn't have many members; can't we have a few more children?" Grandpa Lin clearly misunderstood Lin Feng's meaning and had already started thinking about having children in the future.
