To Welcome Lin Xuan Back, I Suggest Kicking Lin Hao and His Mother Out of the House!

Facing Lin Jianjun's furious gaze...

The board members present showed no restraint at all.

Instead, they placed all the blame on Lin Jianjun, their tone filled with resentment.

"Stop glaring at us! Instead of wasting time, think about how to get your son's forgiveness!"

"The future of the company is entirely in your son's hands now. Honestly, it's your fault—if you had treated your son better, you wouldn't be in this mess!"

"I just don't get it! How can you be so biased? Both hands are made of flesh—you should at least treat them equally! Your favoritism stretches all the way to the Pacific Ocean!"

"Exactly! Nowadays, who doesn't have a few illegitimate children? I have three myself, but my real heir is always the one at home. Tsk... not like you!"

"If you had treated Lin Xuan better from the start, would you even be worrying about this? The company would have been saved long ago! It's all your fault—you can't even tell which card is the trump!"

"......."

Everyone was already frustrated by recent troubles.

Now that they had found an outlet, they all started blaming Lin Jianjun.

As for whether Lin Jianjun would retaliate against them later, or make their lives difficult?

As for whether he'd retaliate later, who cared? If the company didn't survive this, none of it mattered anyway.

"Hmph! Shut up, all of you! You weren't saying this before, but now you're all coming out to criticize after the fact!"

"Besides, that unfilial son Lin Xuan has made his stance clear. What's the point of going to him? It's a waste of time! We should think of another way!"

Lin Jianjun was almost furious enough to explode at these opportunistic people.

When he first brought Lin Hao and his mother into the house, these same people had congratulated him on gaining a "precious son," claiming that Lin Hao was far superior to Lin Xuan.

But now, they had completely changed their tune and were labeling him as a "criminal through the ages"?

Yet, despite his dissatisfaction, the board members remained unfazed, pretending not to hear him.

Back when Lin Jianjun was in power and the company was thriving, they'd flattered him and fawned over Lin Hao. But now that the company was crumbling, they had no interest in sparing his feelings.

"What other way is there? Your son is our last hope!"

A shareholder in a black suit stood up and snapped impatiently:

"Of course, showing up at his door like this won't work. If I were your son, I wouldn't even acknowledge you. I might even slap you a few times."

"After all, your favoritism was way too excessive before..."

"Not only did you give his rightful inheritance to an illegitimate child, but you also publicly announced that you were severing ties with Lin Xuan."

"And on top of that, years of beatings, scoldings, and unfair treatment—if I were your son, I'd be filled with resentment."

"In this situation? Forget about helping you—I'd be considered kind if I didn't secretly sabotage you. In fact, if I were even a little bit malicious… I might even be wishing for your death?!"

"......."

The more the shareholder in the black suit spoke, the stranger his expression became.

The more the shareholder said, the stranger his expression became. He really wondered if Lin Jianjun had some kind of mental illness to have made so many idiotic decisions.

Unless… there was another hidden reason behind it...

"Old Lin, be honest with us."

"That kid Lin Xuan… could it be that he's not actually your biological son? Is that why you treat him like an enemy?"

As this suspicion left the black-suited man's lips, everyone present first paused...

Then, they suddenly came to a realization.

They all looked at Lin Jianjun with a mix of sympathy and amusement, as if they were seeing a vast green field growing on his head.

So that's it...

They got it. They finally understood!

"If that's the case, then Old Lin's actions make sense. Completely understandable! Don't be too upset—after all, to get through life, sometimes you have to accept a little 'green' on your head."

"No way? Is this for real? Lin Xuan does look quite a bit like Old Lin, doesn't he?"

"That's right! They do look quite similar, they should be father and son! On the other hand, that illegitimate child—he's fair-skinned and looks nothing like Old Lin! He actually seems more like he doesn't belong!"

"We're screwed! If he's not even your biological son, how can you guilt-trip him into helping?"

"......"

Seeing that he hadn't even spoken yet, but the others were already making up a convincing story, as if they had uncovered the truth,

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense. Lin Xuan is 100% my son—I've already checked!"

Lin Jianjun slammed the table a few times in anger, his face livid.

Lately, after seeing Lin Xuan's drastic change in personality, he'd started to suspect the boy had been switched out. He secretly collected hair samples from Lin Xuan's old storage room and had a paternity test done.

The result was bittersweet.

The good news: he hadn't been cuckolded.

The bad news: Lin Xuan's rebellion and ingratitude were inborn—there was no deeper reason.

"So, he really is your biological son?"

Seeing Lin Jianjun's serious expression, which didn't seem fake, the group exchanged glances and ultimately believed his words.

But instead, they were left speechless. One of them even mumbled out loud:

"Then why the hell did you treat him like that? |_?)"

Silence...

No one had a comeback.

Lin Jianjun: "...(twitching lips)"

"Ahem, let's not get sidetracked. What matters is how we get Lin Xuan to help us."

Someone coughed, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

The others quickly agreed, offering suggestions.

"Old Lin, you and Lin Xuan are still father and son. The key to solving this situation lies with you. You must admit your mistakes in front of him and sincerely repent for your blindness all these years."

"I think the most crucial point is Lin Hao and his mother—they're the root of all this. Young Master Lin must hate them. Old Lin, I suggest you kick them out of the house."

"That's right, that would show sincerity. Especially regarding Lin Hao—you should immediately post an official announcement on Weibo, declaring the removal of his heir status!"

"Not just that—if you want Lin Xuan's forgiveness, you must make him emotionally invested in the Lin Corporation. The first step is to officially announce that he is the sole heir of our group."

"......."

Ignoring Lin Jianjun's murderous expression, the shareholders continued their lively discussion.

They didn't care whether the future master of the Lin Corporation was Lin Hao or Lin Xuan.

As long as someone could bring profit to the company, they would support that person unconditionally!

And clearly—

Lin Xuan was now the company's savior, while Lin Hao had naturally become the one, they were willing to abandon…

"To be honest, I've always noticed… Young Master Lin's eyes are sharp and full of wisdom, radiating the brilliance of market insight. He's clearly a born business genius. Under his leadership, the company is bound to soar!"

"Yes! Once Young Master Lin realizes that the Lin Corporation belongs to him, and his own interests are at stake, I'm sure he won't let the company collapse."

"Makes sense, totally reasonable. Aside from Lin Xuan, no one else is fit to inherit this position. We only recognize Young Master Lin!"

"By the way, Old Lin, didn't you take away 30% of your son's shares last time? Return them to him immediately, unconditionally. Actually, just transfer all 55% of your shares to him!"

"I support this. The company is going to be Young Master Lin's sooner or later, so whether you give it to him now or later doesn't matter. Old Lin, you're getting older—just retire already! We'll assist Young Master Lin well."

"That would be excellent! You should know, Young Master Lin is the only grandson-in-law of the Su family. I heard that Su Shengtian is planning to hand over the Su family's business to him as well. His future is limitless!"

"With Young Master Lin as the bridge, the Su and Lin families will become one, a powerful alliance. The Lin Corporation will definitely surpass its current status—the future is bright!"

"......."

The board members continued their discussion, even suggesting that Lin Jianjun retire immediately and hand the company over to Lin Xuan.

This nearly drove Lin Jianjun mad.

His tightly clenched fists trembled slightly with rage.

He had only just taken back the shares from that rebellious son…

He'd just managed to seize those shares from Lin Xuan, finally becoming the real boss.

And now they wanted him to hand the company over to that unfilial brat?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!

Even if the Lin Corporation went bankrupt, he would never hand it over to that rebellious son unconditionally.

Lin Jianjun's face darkened as he faced the group of "traitors" trying to force his hand.

He turned his gaze to Bai Jinglong, who had remained silent the entire time, seeking his support as he asked:

"Jinglong, what do you think?"

He had assumed that his brother-in-law would undoubtedly take his side.

But to his utter shock...

"I think the others are right."

"??????"

Seeing Lin Jianjun's confused expression, Bai Jinglong, wearing his signature red tie, couldn't help but curse 'idiot' in his heart.

Then he explained:

"I'm not saying you should hand over the company to him right away, but for now, you should apologize and restore his heir status."

"As for my sister and nephew, they can temporarily stay at my place. You understand… some things are just necessary."

"We need to get through this crisis first. We can think about the rest later…"

As long as the Lin Corporation didn't go bankrupt, the Bai family could continue leeching off of it, securing even more benefits.

Therefore, Bai Jinglong was just as eager for the Lin Corporation to survive this crisis.

As for his sister's feelings?

He could just find an opportunity to explain it to them later. Surely, they would understand.

For now, the priority was overcoming the immediate hurdle. Everything else could be dealt with later.

"Brilliant insight, Director Bai!"

"Amazing! I only salute you!"

"Old Lin, even your brother-in-law is willing to put family aside. What are you hesitating for?"

...

Hearing Bai Jinglong's words, the board members nearby all gave him a thumbs-up, nodding approvingly.

With their relentless persuasion, combined with the thought of the company's rapidly plummeting stock price, Lin Jianjun—who didn't want to become a pauper— was ultimately left with no choice but to begrudgingly give in.

"Sigh…"

"You guys handle the announcement. I'll head to the Su family now."

Hearing this, the board members' eyes lit up with excitement.

Great! At last, they could see a glimmer of hope!

Maybe, just maybe, they could not only recover—but surpass their former glory and become a top-tier family!

Just as everyone was brainstorming strategies for Lin Jianjun to earn Lin Xuan's forgiveness...

Outside the meeting room...

A well-dressed figure stood at the door, trembling with rage.

The person was none other than Lin Hao!

After learning that Lin Jianjun was not his biological father, Lin Hao was stunned.

From childhood to adulthood, despite having many grievances and even some resentment toward Lin Jianjun, he had always regarded Lin Jianjun as his father no matter what.

But just now...

What he heard broke him.

The board members—who once smiled at him—now scorned him as a bastard and plotted to throw his family away.

Unforgivable!!!

He had thought his uncle would stand by them.

But even Bai Jinglong agreed!

Then came the final blow—Lin Jianjun agreed too.

Whatever his reasons, he chose Lin Xuan over them.

Lin Hao's face darkened, his pupils burning with rage.

The more he thought about losing everything he fought for, the heavier his breath grew.

He hated them all.

The fake board.

His traitorous uncle.

His cold-blooded "father."

But most of all...

Lin Xuan.

Because he got everything—without even trying.

Unacceptable!

His fists clenched, veins bulging.

Why?

Why did that guy get everything he ever dreamed of—just by being born lucky?

He grew up scrimping and struggling.

Finally, he returned to the Lin family and played the role of a perfect son...

And now they were casting him aside—for Lin Xuan.

Why?

Why is life so unfair?!

At this moment, the last traces of familial love vanished in the sea of hatred, and Lin Hao made a decision…
