Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Even the typically honest and simple Lin Wenqing and his wife now understood the eldest brother's family's intentions—they were aiming to seize power!

Looking at the reactions of the other members of the Lin Family, they guessed that the eldest brother's family had already greeted them and even promised them benefits.

But with the eldest brother's family speaking to this extent, it would be indecent for them not to accept. Their only real concern was that it would be difficult for their daughter; thus, they turned to look at her.

"Mom and Dad, this is also big brother's kind gesture, you should accept it," Lin Ruoxue said with a light smile, "As for big brother wanting to come work at the corporation, I will arrange it as soon as possible and will notify big brother immediately once I have."

Lin Ruoxue knew that Lin Chao joining the corporation was inevitable, even Grandpa would find it hard to object, so she might as well appear magnanimous and, most importantly, to seize the initiative first.

With just a few words, Lin Ruoxue had clearly delineated the hierarchical relationship between her and another person.

"Then thank you for the extravagant gift, little Chao."

It was only after hearing her daughter's words that Zhang Xinlan finally took the necklace box back.

After that, many younger members also presented their gifts, which Zhang Xinlan accepted one by one, expressing her thanks.

"The gifts we younger ones brought are merely modest tokens; I guess everyone is most looking forward to the gift from the new son-in-law," said one.

"Su Chen, bring out your gift and let everyone feast their eyes," Lin Chao said to Su Chen with a friendly smile, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.

"Yes, Su Chen, let's see what gift you have for third aunt," another chimed in.

"I bet the new son-in-law's gift must be the most precious of all—really looking forward to it!" another added.

The members of the Lin Family bantered, their eyes full of mockery as they turned towards Su Chen, as if ready to watch a spectacle unfold.

In their minds, given Su Chen's shabby appearance, he surely didn't have a gift, and even if he did, it would certainly be something not worth showing.

Lin Ruoxue immediately felt awkward, as she hadn't anticipated Lin Chao's sudden challenge and assumed Su Chen definitely wouldn't have prepared a gift.

Because she knew, Su Chen simply had no money.

Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but blame herself; she should have prepared a gift for him so that he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.

However, it was not Lin Ruoxue's fault entirely since their relationship was so cold that she normally wouldn't even spare a thought for this husband of hers.

Lin Ruoxue had already given her own gift to her mother the day before, a high-end massage chair, so she didn't have a gift with her today; otherwise, she could have produced it now to help Su Chen out of a tight spot.

Old Master Lin looked around at everyone and clearly understood the eldest family's mindset—they wanted to embarrass Su Chen publicly, and by doing so, embarrass Lin Wenqing's family as well.

They did this, of course, for the sake of Lin Corporation. After all, Lin Ruoxue was a woman, and with her husband considered useless, there would seem to be no reason for her to keep hoarding the position of Chairman of Lin Corporation.

Old Master Lin also didn't know Su Chen's true identity and had always thought Su Chen was a penniless fellow. Old Master Lin's adamant decision to have Lin Ruoxue marry Su Chen actually had a reason.

When Lin Ruoxue was young, she suffered from a peculiar illness—once falling ill, her body would become as cold as an ice cellar, her breathing barely perceptible.

The Lin Family sought treatment from major hospitals both domestically and abroad, as well as various Chinese medicine practitioners, but none could diagnose the cause, let alone cure it.

Just when the Lin Family had lost hope for Lin Ruoxue, a Taoist mysteriously appeared in Old Master Lin's study one night.

The Taoist claimed he could cure Lin Ruoxue's illness. However, he didn't want money; he had only one condition: that when the girl grew up, she must marry his disciple, and he insisted that this matter be kept strictly confidential, never to be disclosed!

For the old patriarch of the Lin Family, he simply had no choice, and moreover, if the Taoist could really cure his granddaughter, it meant he must be a noble expert, indicating that his disciple would also be no ordinary person in the future.

Indeed, after the Taoist treated Lin Ruoxue, her cold disease finally disappeared, and over the years, it never recurred.

The old patriarch was a man who kept his word, so when Su Chen came to him with the token, he immediately agreed to honor the marriage arrangement from years ago, although he wasn't particularly pleased with Su Chen.

This was the character of the older generation—they held promises to be even more important than life itself!

Of course, all of this was only known to the old patriarch and the Taoist. The rest of the family didn't understand, and when the patriarch initially decided to marry his most treasured granddaughter to a man whose name they hadn't even heard, the Lin Family thought the patriarch had become muddled with illness.

Just as the old patriarch was preparing to help Su Chen out of the predicament, Zhang Xinlan spoke up:

"No need, no need, the two of them had already sent over their gift a couple of days ago, an massage chair, which both Wenqing and I feel very good using."

"Indeed, after massaging for two days, I feel that my old bones are much relieved," Lin Wenqing also immediately chimed in.

"That's not right! Third brother, you still told me yesterday that this was a birthday gift from Ruoxue to you, didn't mention it was from the son-in-law, oh!"

Zhao Jie, the wife of the second eldest, Lin Wenbin, glanced at Su Chen and said languidly.

No sooner had her words fallen than the atmosphere turned even more awkward. The old patriarch was somewhat unable to bear seeing Su Chen embarrassed by everyone, but before he could speak up, Su Chen had already stood up.

"How could I not have a gift for mom's birthday?"

Just as everyone was anticipating the drama, Su Chen stood up and reached into his pocket.

After hearing Su Chen's words, everyone was somewhat surprised; they hadn't expected this "construction worker" to really bring a gift. They were curious to see what this fellow could possibly present.

Lin Ruoxue was also slightly startled; she hadn't expected Su Chen to have prepared a gift.

And the eyes of Lin Ruohan, sitting beside Su Chen, suddenly lit up. While others had been targeting Su Chen both openly and quietly, she had been coldly observing from the side, and now, seeing Su Chen finally respond, she immediately became excited.

When everyone saw Su Chen pull out a worn and mottled little cloth bag, the disdain in their eyes grew even thicker.

Indeed, judging by the bag, whatever this "construction worker" had brought could not be anything of value.

Lin Ruoxue herself was speechless; if you don't have anything presentable, then don't pretend, she thought. Knowing full well that they had malicious intentions, wasn't this just giving them the opportunity to mock?

"Mom, this is the gift I have for you," Su Chen handed the cloth bag to Zhang Xinlan.

"All right, mom will accept it, thank you," she said.

Zhang Xinlan, taking the cloth bag, was about to put it away, convinced that there couldn't be anything of value inside.

However, the eldest and the second eldest's families weren't about to let her get her way. Lin Ruomei said with a trembling laugh,

"Third aunt, take out the gift, let us all see what the new nephew-in-law has brought for you."

The other members of the Lin Family also joined in, urging Zhang Xinlan to open the cloth bag to take a look.

Zhang Xinlan looked at Su Chen, and seeing his indifferent expression, she reluctantly opened the bag and took out its contents.

No sooner had she taken out the object than it emitted a blinding light, dazzling everyone's eyes almost to the point of being unable to open them...
