Chapter 80: Chapter 81 Stunned
"Whenever Zhu Wuqiao mentions Lin Hao’s family, her face is full of disdain; ever since she married into the Lin Family, she has looked down on Lin Siyuan.
Straightforward and direct, always inflexible in changing ways, how could such a person achieve anything?
Born from the same mother, Lin Sidong is different; he can talk black into white, and white into black, even finding a market for expired products in the store.
’Don’t underestimate my brother; who knows, maybe one day he’ll suddenly do great, haha.’ Lin Sidong, of course, said this in jest. His poor brother, capable of inviting these people?
’Mom, Dad, you... you have to see this.’ At this moment, Lin Weiwei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked ahead in astonishment, ’They really stopped at Lin Hao’s doorway.’
’What?’ Lin Sidong’s laughter stopped abruptly, and he leaned forward.
Indeed, as they were about to arrive at Qingyang Town, all the cars slowed down and then neatly parked by the roadside.
Ahead, Lin Siyuan stood in front of the road, looking expectant, seemingly waiting for them.
Then, almost simultaneously, car doors opened, and over thirty men and women in formal attire alighted.
They didn’t head directly to Lin Hao’s place but instead stopped in front of two Rolls-Royces and stood on both sides autonomously.
The first to get out were Sun Yusheng and Yu Shilong’s wives; unusually, both men brought their wives on this outing.
The two women, nearly fifty, healthy and elegant, looked no more than in their forties, despite their age, thanks to meticulous self-care.
’Who are they, so imposing?’ In the Mercedes, Zhu Wuqiao was full of envy.
’I don’t know,’ Lin Sidong shook his head, ’Definitely not from Qingyang Town.’
’So many people, are they really here for Lin Hao’s place?’ Lin Yue said strangely, ’They couldn’t have hired actors just for appearances, could they?’
’Look, isn’t that Lin Hao!’ Lin Weiwei pointed at another Rolls-Royce, her eyes filled with surprise.
Ahead, by the Rolls-Royce, Yu Shibo respectfully opened the car door. Sun Yusheng, Yu Shilong, and Lin Hao alighted from the car, under the watchful eyes of dozens.
On the roadside, almost all of Lin Hao’s guests were spectating, and upon seeing Lin Hao exit the car, someone next to Lin Siyuan commented, ’Old Lin, isn’t that your son? These people, they are your guests.’
’It should be,’ Lin Siyuan smiled, ’But they are my son’s guests, not mine.’
’Good gracious, Old Lin, your son really did well for himself; none of these cars is worth less than half a million.’
’Old Lin, how did you end up with such an impressive son.’
’Zilan, you’re going to enjoy your fortune now. Look at those people, obviously wealthy, you’ve raised a good son.’
’Oh, it’s all Lin Hao’s own effort.’
Zhou Zilan and Lin Siyuan’s faces were brimming with endless pride. With their son successful, they now had reflected glory.
Nearly everyone from Qingyang Town was watching from a distance, and the crowd buzzed mostly with praise for Lin Hao’s good fortune.
Yet, a few still sneered:
’What’s so great about that, those riches aren’t the Lin Family’s.’
’Exactly...’
Among the murmuring crowd, Lin Sidong’s family, watching from the end of the convoy as Lin Hao got out of the Rolls-Royce, also wore peculiar expressions."
"This guy always hires actors, each one acting quite well, as if they’re big shots," Lin Yue sarcastically said.
"Actors? Brother, what do you mean?" Lin Weiwei curiously asked.
"Weiwei, with that shocked look on your face, couldn’t you use your brain for a second? Lin Siyuan and Zhou Zilan, could they have invited these people?" Lin Yue asked.
"No," Lin Weiwei shook her head, knowing Lin Siyuan’s family quite well, who spend all seasons in tiny Qingyang Town, sustaining their lives by farming or doing odd jobs for others.
Their social circle probably only stretches between Shizi Town and Qingyang Town, they couldn’t possibly know so many wealthy people.
Seeing Lin Weiwei shake her head, Lin Yue continued, "They couldn’t do it, but could Lin Hao, a mere high school graduate, really know so many big shots, would they still be in this godforsaken Qingyang Town? They would have gone to the best hotel in Lu County long ago."
"You’re right, son," Zhu Wuqiao said, resuming her arrogant demeanor, "Their family can only rent cars and hire people to make themselves look better."
"Perhaps," Lin Sidong said, feeling that he recognized two people among the crowd, but couldn’t remember who they were at the moment.
"Let’s go, let’s get off too!"
Lin Yue opened the door, and the family got out of the car, ignoring the people on the row of luxury cars, walked past them and headed straight for Lin Siyuan.
"Brother, sister-in-law, congratulations, congratulations on Lin Hao getting into college!" Zhu Wuqiao took out a red envelope and handed it to Lin Siyuan.
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Lin Siyuan responded, taking the envelope, "Big brother, sister-in-law, Weiwei, please come inside and sit, I’ll be here greeting the guests."
"Brother, you better be careful, the money in this red envelope would take you several months to earn, don’t lose it," Zhu Wuqiao raised her voice.
Zhou Zilan’s expression changed slightly, quickly saying, "Oh, sister-in-law needn’t worry about that, the money, even if lost, now belongs to us."
"Mom, let’s go," Lin Yue saw Zhu Wuqiao’s unhappy face, held her arm, and as the family walked inside, he remarked, "People these days really do anything for face."
"Renting cars, hiring actors, must have cost quite a lot. I wouldn’t have spent that much."
"Exactly," Lin Weiwei also said, "Pretending until it hurts."
Their voices were not low, and dozens of onlookers at the scene heard them, giving them weird looks for a moment.
Everyone could tell they were mocking someone.
The scene quickly quieted down significantly.
Their words also made many people start to suspect whether these were indeed hired actors.
But, as everyone were neighbors, nobody said much.
"Don’t get angry." Seeing Lin Siyuan’s grim face, Zhou Zilan hurriedly said, "Don’t stoop to these kids’ level, don’t let your son’s friends see you like this, they might think you’re unhappy they came."
"That’s true," Lin Siyuan said, a smile once again appearing on his face, but inside he grew increasingly dissatisfied with Lin Sidong’s family.
"Dad, mom."
Lin Hao, leading Sun Yusheng, and Yu Shilong with their families, came forward to introduce them.
At the same time, he also introduced everyone to Yu Shilong and Sun Yusheng.
"It is a pleasure to meet Lin Hao’s parents!" Yu Shilong smiled warmly, "You’ve raised a fine son, here’s a small token of my appreciation."
"And ours too," Sun Yusheng also said.
As they spoke, the two of them each took out a red envelope, handing them to Lin Siyuan, bulging almost to the bursting point, drawing stunned stares from nearby onlookers.
