CHAPTER 66: CHAPTER 66 LIN BEIXUAN

Lin Shanshan dragged the bewildered Su Jinjin to her room.

"Sister Jinjin, look, this is my room!" Lin Shanshan said proudly.

She wasn’t trying to show off to Su Jinjin but was eager to share her happiness; this was a huge surprise for her.

Looking at the dreamlike room in front of her, Su Jinjin felt as if she were in a dream. She couldn’t understand how all of this could be real.

Could Lin Fan really be the master of Yunding Manor, the super-rich Mr. Lin?

Mr. Lin’s invitation had saved her from an arranged marriage, and she had always thought it was a coincidence. Now she finally understood that it was a deliberate arrangement!

But she didn’t even know Mr. Lin. Why would he help her?

Because Mr. Lin is Lin Fan!

Only then does it make sense.

Su Jinjin returned to the hall, filled with questions for Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, what exactly is your identity? You’re not a child from a poor family, are you? Did you lie to me before?"

Lin Fan hurriedly said, "I didn’t lie to you. I was indeed very poor before. When we were dating, I couldn’t even afford to take you to a restaurant; you know that."

Su Jinjin asked, "Then when did you become so wealthy?"

This question also intrigued Lin Shanshan and Anna, who both looked at Lin Fan, waiting for his answer.

Lin Fan certainly wouldn’t honestly tell them that he became a billionaire overnight thanks to a system. He never planned to reveal the system’s existence to anyone; the secret was too astonishing.

Lin Fan hadn’t seriously thought about how to answer Su Jinjin’s question. Telling the truth was an indiscretion, and lying wasn’t easy either.

Lin Fan thought quickly and casually made up a story: "Ahem, well, this question is both complicated and simple..."

The three women were puzzled. What does that mean?

Lin Fan awkwardly scratched his nose: "It’s like this. One day, I met an uncle I hadn’t seen in years. He’s a hidden billionaire, and when he parted, seeing that I was poor, he casually gave me some pocket money, saying it’s not much, so I should spend it sparingly. I glanced at the balance—it’s indeed not much, just 30 billion..."

What?

The three women broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh God!

Someone casually gave 30 billion as pocket money, and it’s not much! How rich must this uncle be?

Lin Shanshan exclaimed, "Brother, we have a long-lost uncle? How come I never knew?"

Lin Fan replied, "Indeed, you just didn’t know. You can ask Mom and Dad; they’ll tell you."

Lin Shanshan: "Okay... So what’s our uncle’s name?"

Lin Fan casually replied, "Lin Beixuan."

Lin Beixuan!

This name was something Lin Fan made up on the spot. This uncle was fictional, a nonexistent person.

But even Lin Fan couldn’t foresee that his casually made-up Lin Beixuan would one day stir up great waves in the business world!

Anna was the first to have thoughts.

This Lin Beixuan must be the real Mr. Lin!

This thought excited Anna internally. She had been ordered to investigate Mr. Lin’s identity, and now she finally had a breakthrough.

Lin Fan was indeed just a front; there was actually another person behind Mr. Lin!

Lin Beixuan!

Who in the world could he be, hiding behind the scenes while pushing Lin Fan to the forefront, and recently spending lavishly? What could be his purpose?

Su Jinjin said at the moment, "So that’s it, Lin Fan. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "If I revealed my identity too early, I wouldn’t have been able to intimidate the Su Family."

Su Jinjin thought for a moment, nodded unconsciously, and agreed. Grandma would never believe Lin Fan was Mr. Lin; in her eyes, Lin Fan was just a poor boy.

Only the mysterious and affluent Mr. Lin could intimidate the Su Family!

Lin Fan noticed that the three women seemed to believe him and felt pleased. Pretending to be mysterious, he added, "Yes, about my uncle Lin Beixuan, he is a low-key person, so there’s no need to tell others. Just keep it to ourselves."

The three women nodded in agreement.

However, Anna felt a bit anxious, eager to report to Feng Wanshan.

Lin Fan said, "Shanshan, Anna, please step aside for a moment. I have some words I’d like to say to Jinjin alone."

Lin Shanshan and Anna exited the room.

Lin Fan sat down and said, "Jinjin, I’m sorry for telling you the truth only now; these past few days must have worried you."

Su Jinjin had indeed been uneasy these days, not knowing what would happen when meeting Mr. Lin.

She never dreamed it would turn out like this.

"It’s okay. You were only trying to help me, Lin Fan. Thank you," Su Jinjin said sincerely. Without Lin Fan, she definitely wouldn’t have escaped the arranged marriage, and even if she did, the Su and Li Families would’ve never let her go.

Lin Fan said, "Between us, there’s no need for thanks. A thank you feels too distant."

"Sorry..."

Su Jinjin blushed. Indeed, back then, she and Lin Fan were inseparable lovers, but now they were no longer so, and the distance between them seemed to form naturally.

She hated this distance, but it was impossible to interact with Lin Fan the way she did three years ago.

Unless they started over.

Lin Fan said, "Back then, I was incapable and couldn’t keep you, could only watch the Su Family take you away. Now, I can finally protect you, keep you from being bullied!"

Hearing this, Su Jinjin’s heart filled with mixed emotions, her eyes turning red: "Fan..."

Lin Fan reached out, took Su Jinjin’s soft hand, and smiled: "I know we both need time, but as your boyfriend back then, I should have protected you but failed."

Su Jinjin could no longer hold back and fell into Lin Fan’s arms, hugging him tightly, tears flowing freely and soaking his chest.

"I know you did your best to protect me. I’ve never blamed you..." Su Jinjin said.

Lin Fan said, "But three years ago, it was ultimately a regret. Let me make up for that regret, okay?"

In his embrace, Su Jinjin nodded: "Yes!"

Lin Fan smiled and wrapped his arms around her as well.

Su Jinjin felt that Lin Fan’s chest was much broader than it was three years ago, much more secure, and all the grievances she suffered over these years disappeared in that embrace.

How she wished she could stay like this forever, lying in Lin Fan’s arms...

Lin Fan said, "If I’m not mistaken, Madam Su must have great expectations for your meeting with me. What does she want from me?"

Lin Fan’s words were right on the mark.

Su Jinjin said, "She wants the Su Family to rise again."

Lin Fan smiled slightly.

Learning that "Mr. Lin" invited Su Jinjin over, Madam Su decisively canceled the engagement with the Li Family, merely trying to please "Mr. Lin." Her real purpose, for the most part, is for the Su Family.

So it is!

Su Jinjin said, "Lin Fan, you don’t need to pay attention to Grandma. The Su Family is already on the brink of death, and hoping for a revival is just wishful thinking!"

Lin Fan, somewhat thoughtful, said blandly, "I understand."

Madam Su’s longing wasn’t a mere pipe dream. To save a dying second-rate family would be nothing more than a flick of a finger for Lin Fan’s current ability!
