Chapter 72 Not a Big Deal

"You think? Why can you decide how I should live my own life?"

Lin Hao angrily threw the cigarette to the ground without stamping to put it out and shouted hysterically.

"Did you say that Chen Xueli had a thing for me? But I think she really enjoys having fun with Cao Shijie!"

Lin Hao hadn't lost his temper like this since he left Lan and was kicked out of his family five years ago.

These years, all people he met thought he was calm, decisive, and even a bit ruthless under certain circumstances.

For friends, however, he was the most reliable and respectable god of war!

Anyway, anyone who knew him wouldn't imagine that Lin Hao, the legendary god of war, could be so hysterical.

Lin Zixiao who leaned on his bed looked at Lin Hao with mixed feelings. "She indeed likes you. But you treated her badly five years ago, which broke her heart."

"In the first two years after you left, she was still waiting in our family for you. But one day, she attended a business conference on behalf of our family. Cao Shijie drugged her so..."

Lin Zixiao didn't finish his sentence because he couldn't bear to talk about that. But it could be told from his facial expression that Chen Xueli had gone through a lot.

"Since then, Xueli has changed. She often hangs out with Cao Shijie. But this is my fault. I was eager to make you marry Xueli so that Xueli, Lan, and you all suffered much."

"So... I see Xueli as my daughter-in-law whenever she pays a visit. After all, I'm the reason why she ends up like this!"

Hearing that, Lin Hao stopped talking. He collapsed on the chair and lit another cigarette with his shaking hands.

He thought Chen Xueli was plotting something, so she got close to him. But he didn't know she had almost the same miserable experience as he did these years.

He had mixed feelings when thinking of that. He should say something to retort but he didn't know what to say.

Later, Lin Zixiao told Lin Hao things that happened in the last five years. He shared stories about the Lin Family, Chen Xueli, and how he searched for Lan.

Then, he mentioned something that happened three years ago...

"I wasn't in good health at that time. Your brother was the most promising candidate to take over the family business. But he really lets me down. He has already seen himself as the family leader before I die!"

"One day, he had a business trip to Didu. He thought he could still lord it over people there like what he did in Modu. And he had a fight with someone in a bar for a little-known actress..."

"The man whom he fought with is from an influential family in Didu. And Lin Ran was almost killed there. The whole family tried so hard to save his life. We paid much to save him, which undermined our family. Till now, we haven't regained our influence yet..."

Finding that Lin Zixiao was so helpless, Lin Hao sneered, "I told you to be strict with him but you were always busy with your business. Look how 'great' he is now. Isn't this your fault?"

Being lectured by his son, Lin Zixiao just nodded with a sad face. He didn't think it was inappropriate for a son to lecture his father like that at all.

Having thought for a while with a bitter smile, Lin Zixiao sighed, "If we hadn't been busy with cleaning up the mess, we would have sent one of our family members, rather than Xueli, to attend the conference. If so, she wouldn't have suffered so much."

"That's her fate."

Lin Hao didn't give his comment until he thought for a long while.

Later, they had some small talks. But all of a sudden, Lin Zixiao put on a serious look and turned to Lin Hao, "Hao, I heard that the man whom Lin Ran fought with would expand his family business to Modu. It's said that he's narrow-minded. I'm afraid that he still holds the grudge."

"I believe no one will express opposition if I let you take over the family business. After all, if your little brother becomes the family leader, our family may be overthrown at any minute!"

"Impossible!"

Right when Lin Zixiao finished, Lin Hao refused with no hesitation. "I've been through a lot in the past five years and I've changed. I am not interested in the family business. Anyone who wants it can just take it over. I'm too busy to fight for it with them."

"You!"

When Lin Zixiao heard that, his eyes were wide open. He tried to sit up and said, "Hao, we earned this position through several generations' efforts. You should take it seriously!"

"So what? Let me tell you. I'm too busy to take care of it," Lin Hao looked up and said. He indeed showed no interest in the family business that was worth over 100 billion yuan.

Right after he finished, Lin Zixiao put his hand on his chest and coughed. He coughed blood again.

Seeing that, Lin Hao couldn't help rolling his eyes. But he still walked to Lin Zixiao to pat him on his back so that he could calm down.

When he caught his breath, Lin Hao sent a wisp of energy into Lin Zixiao's body to quickly give him a checkup.

Then he said, "Although I don't want to take over the family business, I can cure you. It won't be hard for me to prolong your life and you may have 30 more years to enjoy yourself. If you take good care of yourself and stop staying up to work, you will live even longer."

"What? Do you mean you can cure me?"

Lin Zixiao's eyes brightened and he looked so excited. "Do you...really mean it? Do you know what is wrong with me?"

"I do. You're diagnosed with gastric cancer. That's not a big deal for me."

Rolling his eyes with his mouth twitched, Lin Hao didn't think that was a big problem.
