1298: Chapter 199: Lin Ze’s Thoughts 1298: Chapter 199: Lin Ze’s Thoughts “Uncle Xiao, I just returned from abroad and heard that the domestic situation is tumultuous, especially in Zhili Prefecture and Capital Prefecture, where a lot has happened recently.

May I ask for your view on this, could you give me an analysis?”

Lin Ze suddenly spoke up.

Xiao Enze shook his head and said: “You think too highly of your Uncle Xiao.

Ever since the Xiao Family in Linhai was ruined by my actions, I haven’t bothered to pay attention to the outside situation.

Now, if I can take good care of my own household, that’s already quite an achievement; I no longer have those grand ambitions.”

Lin Ze frowned slightly, feeling somewhat contemptuous inside.

If he were Xiao Enze, he would definitely strive to restore the former prosperity of the Xiao Family in Linhai.

In those days, even the top ten aristocratic clans didn’t dare to provoke the Xiao Family in Linhai.

So, had Xiao Enze truly lost heart?

Had he become a resigned old fellow, just waiting for death?

Even in Lin Ze’s view, the fact that the Xiao Family still had some wealth and managed to survive in the north was all because the Xiao Family had married Lin Yue.

They were basking in the glory of the Lin Family.

That’s why those family clans would give some respect to the Xiao Family.

“Uncle Xiao is being too modest.”

Lin Ze said with a smile: “Everyone knows that your eldest son, Xiao Ye, now works at Xiao Corporation, and he is even the head of the Xiao Corporation’s branch in Capital City.

The Xiao Corporation is a huge enterprise.

To be able to work there really shows your capabilities.

Moreover, aren’t you quite close to the Ye Family?

The Ye Family Patriarch often plays chess and discusses philosophy with you, he must talk about external affairs.”

Xiao Enze said, “Xiao Ye is capable, but that’s his own business.

As for Ye Jianguo, when he comes here, it’s for relaxation, to play chess and discuss philosophy.

We do not talk about those headache-inducing matters.

I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you.”

“Isn’t it the case?”

Lin Ze smiled and said: “I’ve heard that recently a Xiao Family from Jiangnan has risen rapidly, and furthermore, the name of the Family Head of that Xiao Family in Jiangnan, Xiao Chen, is exactly the same as your second son’s name.

Could they not be the same person?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Enze instantly understood Lin Ze’s true intentions.

He chuckled and said, “I’d hope he was my son, but unfortunately, it is only a coincidence of names.

Otherwise, our family wouldn’t just be in our current state, and life would be better than it is now.”

“Is it really not him?”

Lin Ze stared into Xiao Enze’s eyes and asked.

Xiao Enze’s expression remained unchanged, and with a smile, he responded: “If every Xiao Chen in the world were my son, wouldn’t I be made then?”

Lin Ze’s eyebrows furrowed—this crafty old fox’s gaze did not reveal the slightest fluctuation.

Could they really not be the same person?

At that moment, Lin Yue arrived, holding a little boy about one year old.

“Lin Ze!”

Lin Yue was overjoyed; she had thought Lin Ze had long since forgotten about her and did not remember his sister.

But unexpectedly, the boy had actually come to visit.

“Is it really you?”

“Sister Yue, of course it’s me.

Those three years were the most important in my life.

If it weren’t for you, I would have drowned in the river a long time ago.”

Lin Ze also seemed very excited.

“Come, let’s have a good chat with your sister, and you can tell me about your experiences over these years.”

Lin Yue was also moved, realizing that Lin Ze still remembered things from when he was little.

She glanced at Xiao Enze and said, “Dad, could you please take care of Xiao Bao for a bit?”

“No problem!”

Xiao Enze was actually annoyed with Lin Ze, this fellow’s intentions for coming here were not pure, always pestering him asking all sorts of questions.

Having Lin Yue take him away was perfect.

Lin Ze wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t.

His initial intention was to use his relationship with Lin Yue to get in touch with people from the Xiao Family and obtain what he wanted.

If he refused, it would be awkward to come back in the future.

Helplessly, he could only leave with Lin Yue and Lin Yue’s servants.

Watching Lin Yue leaving with Lin Ze.

Xiao Enze’s gaze suddenly turned ice-cold: “Hmph, what coming to see his sister.

Just look at his unwilling appearance, he clearly has other motives.”

“Master, he has been inquiring about the Boss’s whereabouts continuously.

Could it be that he’s planning to make a move on the Boss?”

Tong Guan analyzed.

“I just hope he doesn’t.

Otherwise, the Lin Family will be finished too.”

Xiao Enze sneered: “Xiao Chen is much smarter than me, he’s had the Zhou Family, the Bai Family, and Pan Family Garden dancing to his tune.”

Now the Zhou Family has been destroyed, Pan Family Garden has almost become a ghost town overnight, and the Bai Family is not doing much better, with the Bai Family Corporation declaring bankruptcy.”

“This kid, he’s quite cunning, but I like it.”

“Not just that, the boss also has invincible strength, he’s simply the perfect man!”

Tong Guan said with admiration.

“Indeed, that kid is someone who hardly has any weaknesses, I hope the Lin Family won’t make a foolish move.

No matter what, Lin Yue is a good wife, and I don’t like seeing her sad.”

Xiao Enze sighed.

“It’s not just the Lin Family, the Zhan Family and Huang Family seem to have also made their moves.

With the Bai Family Corporation’s demise, domestic industries have basically been taken over by the New Bai Family Corporation, but there are still many international industries involved.

These top aristocratic clans, they won’t give up easily.”

Tong Guan said.

“Who cares, let them fight and struggle.

Come on, let’s go visit the Ye Family!”

Xiao Enze now just wanted to avoid Lin Ze, mainly because it was too troublesome.

…

At the Xiao Family residence in Xiongcheng City.

Huang Ningxia and Liu Xin were busy in the kitchen.

Because today, Xiao Chen was coming back.

After spending over a month wreaking havoc in Glazed Glass City, he was finally returning.

Today, they must prepare a delicious meal for Xiao Chen and not dine out.”

“Sister Ning Xia, try and persuade Xiao Chen, the Xinmeng Group has grown so big, we’re not short of money, there’s no need to be so competitive.”

Liu Xin said to Huang Ningxia.

“Sigh, if you as his mother-in-law can’t persuade him, then my words are useless too.

Besides, that child has his own ideas, he doesn’t listen to anyone.”

Huang Ningxia sighed.

“That’s true, all we can do is make the food a bit better then.”

Liu Xin gave a bitter smile.

When Xiao Chen becomes stubborn, no one can persuade him, not even Jiang Meng.

At this time, Jiang Meng and Xiao Yulan had already arrived outside the high-speed rail station.

Jiang Meng had dressed up meticulously, hoping to present the best of herself to her husband.

But at this moment, her heart was truly shocked.

She had already received the news that the original Bai Family Corporation had declared bankruptcy and liquidation, and the New Bai Family Corporation had risen, which from the beginning, had signed several cooperation agreements with the Xinmeng Group.

It made Xinmeng Group’s name echo throughout the Capital Prefecture in an instant.

Jiang Meng was still shocked.

How on earth was this achieved?

That was the Bai Family Corporation, the core industry of one of the top ten aristocratic Bai Family.

“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law!”

“Huh?”

Jiang Meng was startled out of her reverie.

And saw that Xiao Chen was already standing in front of her.

“Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?

My brother is not happy.”

Xiao Yulan joked.

“How could that be.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said: “Seeing my wife, my life is filled with happiness, how could I be angry?

Let’s go, let’s go home!”

He took Jiang Meng’s hand and walked towards the car, leaving the single dog Xiao Yulan behind.

“Hey, can you two stop making me eat your dog food.”

Xiao Yulan was speechless, it looked like she really needed to find a man.
