Lin Chengyu had nothing to say about the Lin family's affairs to Jiang Xiao, the dust had settled a few years ago, and no waves were caused.
Lin Feng had long lost the ability to compete with him, he had moved out of the old house for a long time, and went to his wife's natal house after Yong Jiang completely lost power.
Lin Rongjia was still in high school at that time, and they moved out together. Grandpa also knew that some of his tricks were so extreme that the old man gave up on him, and never mentioned him again.
But the turmoil on Lin Feng's body still didn't stop. The people from his wife's natal family were originally sucking Yongjiang's blood. After Lin Feng was kicked out of the core management, he still had shares in his hands. According to the rules every year, Lin Chengyu's dividends to shareholders would not be less than him.
But that family is used to spending money lavishly. Yongjiang spent a lot of money on large-scale expansion during that time, and shareholders didn’t pay much dividends. Lin Feng’s little money supports three or two companies, all of which are from his natal family. For the money-losing goods produced by relatives, one point is not enough.
After a few years, Lin Chengyu knew that this person probably wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, so he only cared about it occasionally for the sake of prudence.
But even if he does nothing, some things are meant to be. It turned out that Lin Feng's in-laws all opened building materials companies for the sake of sucking blood.
When Lin Chengyu had good intentions before, he reminded him that the water in the building materials area is deep, and many companies in the industry like to deceive people to make money, but there must be a bottom line, and no one can take care of it if something goes wrong.
He didn't listen, those relatives were all desperate for money, and something really happened.
"The family went in two because of this matter, and owed a large amount of money outside. In order to settle this matter, Lin Feng needed money urgently, so he sold the shares he had to me," Lin Chengyu said, "He is in those few houses. The company has been employed, and he can't get rid of it even if he wants to, and his wife begged him with a group of relatives, so he can only do this."
Lin Feng always felt that Grandpa Lin favored the boss, and this was the source of his hatred.
So those poor relatives from his wife's natal family flattered him and held him up like a god. Out of a compensatory mentality, he also treated those people with all his heart and soul, treating them like relatives, thinking that he got what he wanted.
But Lin Chengyu said with a conscience, it is true that his grandfather is biased, but he still treats him as his own son, and he has worked hard to train him for more than ten years, giving and teaching everything that should be given.
Those people in his wife's family were all for money, and they didn't have any sincerity. After Lin Feng's shares were sold, the matter was not completely settled. He had nothing left when he should be sentenced. Turning around, everyone changed their faces.
"Then I got sick a few years ago, and now I'm still living in the hospital," Lin Chengyu and Jiang Xiao said, "I go to see him occasionally, and I paid for the medical expenses at the beginning, after all, he is the remaining son of my grandfather. Later, Lin Rongjia earned some money by working hard on her own, moved, and stopped seeing those relatives, and she took the initiative to pay for the medical expenses. I asked about it half a year ago, and said that it was because she was in better health. Like twenty years older."
Lin Feng wasn't young anymore, he was already fifty.
Jiang Xiao couldn't help asking after listening, "Don't you hate him?"
In his previous life, he hated Lin Chengyu so much that he even changed his personality. When Lin Chengyu mentioned it today, there was no emotion on his face, and there was even a hint of pity on his face.
"The revenge that needs to be avenged has been avenged in the previous life, and he didn't accomplish anything this time. He is no longer the focus."
Lin Chengyu is not the character of a holy father, it is impossible to restore the relationship with Lin Feng, and he has no problem in his mind, at most he has reached this level.
There is really no need to kill them all, Lin Chengyu is not so inferior, thinking that Lin Feng like this can make a comeback.
Lin Rongjia still had a bad relationship with him, but Lin Chengyu would not interfere with what she did.
When she was young, she was a bit arrogant and domineering, she didn't like reading, she was influenced by her parents, and she tried to trip Lin Chengyu, but they were all childish and trivial things that didn't have much influence. What happens next depends on her.
"However, the fate of people is really hard to say."
Lin Chengyu originally talked to Jiang Xiao, and when the other party mentioned it, he also spoke freely, but when he mentioned this, he also felt a little emotional.
"In her previous life, Lin Rongjia was pampered for a long time. When Lin Feng was defeated, she was so devastated that she didn't know where she went. It's different now, and she can live on her own."
Everyone is subject to change.
Jiang Xiao looked at him with his face propped up, he didn't know what he was thinking, after a while, Lin Chengyu heard him answer a sentence.
"It is true that everyone will change," Jiang Xiao said, "There should be a chance to correct it."
Rebirth is not an opportunity for everyone, but many people can choose to start over from scratch.
Lin Chengyu's hand holding the spoon was stiff for a while, he didn't know if Jiang Xiao's words had a deep meaning, and if it was what he thought.
But soon Jiang Xiao changed the subject and didn't continue with that sentence.
"I'll go see Grandpa Lin these few days," he said, "I haven't visited him for a long time."
The old man's family life was also full of ups and downs. One son died early and the other was disobedient. He has helped Jiang Xiao a lot, and he is an elder like a relative. The day Jiang Xiao left was a special day.
Lin Chengyu's birthday. In fact, the birthdays of the two of them are not far apart, Lin Chengyu was in the year before, and Jiang Xiao was in the year after.
Jiang Xiao remembered this day, but after his rebirth, he never celebrated with the other party again, this was the first time in all these years.
He went to see Grandpa Lin that day. In the old house of Lin's family, Lin Chengyu's birthday was naturally celebrated together. In fact, Lin Chengyu hasn't had a good birthday in the past ten years. He has always been very busy. Many times without that person, there is no point in celebrating his birthday.
But today is especially meaningful.
When Jiang Xiao went to Lin's house, there was no reason for him to cook. Lin Chengyu was busy in the kitchen, and the old man took Jiang Xiao to drink tea in the small living room.
The purple sand teapot I used was given by Jiang Xiao a few years ago. Grandpa Lin seems to like it very much. It looks like he uses it often. The pot is well maintained. It is the tea pet on the table. That's right.
Because I bought it during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rabbits should be a pair, but now there is only one left.
Jiang Xiao was thinking about changing the old man to a new tea pet, since he lost one, it looked incomplete, it was a small thing anyway, so it would not be troublesome to get a new one, but the old man waved his hand and said no.
"I haven't lost it," he said, "it's at Xiaoyu's place. He asked me to go, and now it's on the company desk."
Jiang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then understood a little bit.
Just two giveaways.
He bowed his head and smiled, didn't say anything, but after waiting for a while, he made a phone call. It was Lin Chengyu's birthday today, so he naturally wanted to bring a gift. Jiang Xiao's gift was quite conventional, and it happened that the weather was cold, so he picked out a coat.
I gave it as soon as I entered the door, and I have already tried it on Lin Chengyu. Jiang Xiao picked it, which naturally suits him very well, and Lin Chengyu liked it very much, so he put it away carefully.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Xiao felt that he might not be willing to wear it in the future. It's just an ordinary gift, not a precious thing.
The dinner was well prepared. Jiang Xiao was surprised every time he ate the dishes made by Lin Chengyu recently. He put his heart into it. He didn't have as many dishes as Jiang Xiao, but everything was delicious.
After dinner, Grandpa Lin said that he was getting sleepy when he was old, so he went to sleep in his room, leaving the two of them alone.
Jiang Xiao knew what the old man meant in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. Today is Lin Chengyu's birthday, so let him.
Lin Chengyu made hot cocoa for Jiang Xiao, and took him for a walk in the garden to digest his food. The fish in the old house of Lin's family are still very fat, so sprinkle some fish food, and they all gather together obediently.
Lin Chengyu hoped that the two of them would stay together as long as possible, but Jiang Xiao did not mention going back today. The two of them walked around the house and returned to the house. Lin Chengyu found an old movie, Today is his birthday, so Jiang Xiao will watch it with him.
The small cinema in the old house worked well, Jiang Xiao watched it seriously, Lin Chengyu was absent-minded, and kept secretly looking at each other.
Even the best movie is not as good as Jiang Xiao.
He has been thinking about what Jiang Xiao said before, and what happened in the infinite office a few days ago. Although nothing happened, Jiang Xiao didn't seem to reject him.
Today is the same, I have been very happy to watch.
Lin Chengyu thought about whether he could go further, but he was afraid of breaking the current balance. The relationship between the two of them has always been dominated by Jiang Xiao, so Lin Chengyu couldn't help but decide.
After watching a movie, Lin Chengyu was holding back something in his heart and didn't dare to say it.
It was late, and Jiang Xiao was about to leave. Lin Chengyu went to the company to pick him up today, and of course he was also responsible for sending Jiang Xiao home.
The car parked in front of Jiang Xiao's house, and Jiang Xiao's car was driven back by the driver and put aside.
Lin Chengyu was stopped by Jiang Xiao before he left.
"Help me open the trunk and get something," Jiang Xiao handed him the car keys, "There are a lot, I can't take any of them, please trouble you."
In fact, if you have a little experience, you can basically guess what it means by opening the trunk on your birthday. But no matter how dare Lin Chengyu think about it, he couldn't think of anything after going around a few times.
He thought it was just helping Jiang Xiao carry things, of course he was willing, but when he really opened the trunk, he would be stupid.
It's a gift.
To be honest, this form is not very creative, too many people do it. Jiang Xiao thought of it on the spur of the moment, but he didn't have time to do it himself.
It was just a phone call during the meeting and someone had to prepare it temporarily.
What else is there to buy as a gift for a man, that’s all there is in total, he thought about it, and asked someone to buy a few clothes, ties, a few usable decorations such as tie clips, wallets, etc. Yes, I picked a few bottles of good red wine and stuffed the trunk full.
The people under him made a few light strips to make the inside of the trunk a bit brighter, and it had a gift-giving atmosphere, but in Jiang Xiao's view, it was a very conventional method, just the packaging that should be there, and it was done in a hurry. It can be regarded as crude.
"Happy birthday," he walked to Lin Chengyu's side, "I hope you don't have to live like this in the future... Well, be careful, and be happier in the future."
Jiang Xiao thought it was quite ordinary, at least it was the first time he wished him a happy birthday after so long, but he didn't expect that Lin Chengyu's mood was a little too excited.
"You..." Jiang Xiao leaned over to look at him, "Why are you still crying?"
