Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 85 - 86 Apology

Chapter 85: Chapter 86 Apology

Lin Yue’s expression was downcast, his eyes complicated, filled with an indescribable taste.

The call was from the human resources department of Yu Group.

Moreover, the director of human resources personally made the call, saying Yu Group was not suitable for him and advised him to seek opportunities elsewhere.

"What?" Lin Weiwei exclaimed, "Does that mean that old man is really the behind-the-scenes helmsman of Yu Group?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Lin Sidong had long known that Yu Shilong was real, He Mingtong would have no need to lie to insignificant people like them.

"Damn, they’ve stolen all the spotlight." Zhu Wuqiao’s expression was somber, her eyes fiercely malicious.

"What are you complaining about?" Lin Sidong angrily said, "If it weren’t for your insistence on saving face, how would we have fallen to this state? Now, our son’s job is not secure, and I might not even be able to survive in Lu County anymore."

Sun Yusheng, Lin Sidong knew him; his strategy of surrounding the cities with the countryside was very successful, and now nearly all businesses in Lu County were under his banner.

The corporate executives who came today were likely all subordinates of Sun Yusheng.

With their family having faced such humiliation today, who knows if Sun Yusheng would instruct the businesses in Lu County to jointly suppress his business there? As a small boss, how could he stand against these magnates?

Miserable, wanting to cry.

But this was not the time to cry.

Lin Sidong kept a stern face, he had never dared to imagine Lin Hao would bring these people, or rather, he had never even thought about that possibility.

Just a high school student, after all.

Yet, reality had harshly slapped him, teaching him that there are always greater people out there.

"So, Lin Sidong, now you blame me, don’t forget, you didn’t stop it at the time, you even supported it." Zhu Wuqiao glared at Lin Sidong, "I don’t care, you figure out the current situation yourself."

Lin Sidong sighed, "Lin Yue, why don’t you go and make a toast, apologize to Lin Siyuan? I’m not criticizing you, but after all, he is your uncle, and you were too impolite earlier."

Lin Yue looked up, wanted to say that it was all Lin Sidong’s teaching, but seeing the latter’s disagreeable expression, he held back, only saying, "Dad, we were arrogant just now, now humbling ourselves, how are we to face ourselves in the future? Where do we put our dignity?"

"Dignity? Being human? If this matter can’t be perfectly resolved, I see us having to sell the car and house, and leave Lu County." Lin Sidong spoke deeply, "Enough nonsense, follow me, everyone follow me, if anyone dares to disrespect my brother again, I’ll kill them when we get back."

Having said that, he picked up a bottle of wine and took the lead towards Lin Hao’s table.

Zhu Wuqiao’s face was stern: "If you want to go, you go, I definitely won’t."

Right after she finished speaking, Lin Sidong stopped in his tracks and looked at her.

The look in his eyes was very unkind.

Zhu Wuqiao was startled, she had never seen that kind of look before.

From that gaze, she felt an inexplicable killing intent.

Even though she was usually overbearing, at that moment, she felt a sense of timidity.

"Let’s go then, why stare at me like that." Zhu Wuqiao spoke softly, then stood up and followed behind Lin Sidong.

Lin Yue and Lin Weiwei didn’t dare say another word.

At Lin Hao’s table, where people were continuously toasting, they quietly lined up behind, and it took about ten minutes before it was their turn.

Seeing Lin Sidong’s family, Lin Siyuan’s face changed first.

Even Lin Hao stopped what he was doing, watching them.

As Lin Hao’s actions ceased, everyone in the room also stopped and looked at their family.

Even the nearby people were drawn by their family’s gaze and watched them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my dear brother, sister-in-law, Lin Hao," seemingly oblivious to the awkward glances from everyone, Lin Sidong filled his cup with wine, "Today is Lin Hao’s academic celebration banquet, and here I wish Lin Hao a bright future ahead."

"Lin Hao, whatever misunderstandings have occurred between our two families, they were my fault, your uncle. Here, I’ll punish myself with three cups!"

Saying that, Lin Sidong rapidly downed three glasses of white liquor. The alcohol seemed too strong; he clicked his tongue, not knowing if it was the strong effect of the liquor or shame that turned his face beet red.

"Lin Yue, Lin Weiwei, Zhu Wuqiao, it’s your turn."

"Lin Hao, I’m sorry," Lin Weiwei whispered quietly.

"I’m sorry," Lin Yue said as well.

Zhu Wuqiao was very reluctant, but at that moment, she didn’t dare say much, lifting her cup and saying, "Dear brother and sister-in-law, congratulations on raising a good child. Before today, we admit to have done many wrong things, and I apologize to you for that."

"And Lin Hao, auntie is sorry towards you."

After she finished, she downed her drink in one gulp, Lin Yue and Lin Weiwei also drank a cup with blushed faces, and Lin Weiwei choked and coughed continuously.

"Dear brother and sister-in-law, my family, the Lin Sidong family, owes you an apology," Lin Sidong sincerely apologized. After drinking a few cups, whether it was genuine or pretense, or perhaps it was the pressure of Lin Hao’s presence, tears welled up in his eyes, "I hope, dear brother and sister-in-law, as elders, you can be magnanimous and forgive me this once."

Seeing the family’s demeanor, Zhou Zilan secretly nudged Lin Siyuan to speak.

Lin Siyuan glanced at Lin Hao and seeing that Lin Hao was expressionless, as if he didn’t really care about the matter, he sighed deeply and filled his own cup with wine: "Brother, between two brothers, it should be just like now, some things can’t be feigned."

Saying that, he poured wine for Lin Hao, Zhou Zilan, and Lin Sidong’s family.

Then, raising his glass, he said, "Come, let us drink this cup and let bygones be bygones, hoping that we can live together harmoniously as a family in the future."

Ultimately, blood is thicker than water. Lin Siyuan’s heart held hatred, hatred for Lin Sidong’s cruelty five years ago and deception a year ago.

Yet he still chose to forgive Lin Sidong.

After all, Zhou Zilan was unharmed, their family being safe and sound, and Lin Hao had also become successful.

He knew Lin Sidong’s nature well. He knew many things were caused by Zhu Wuqiao and believed that from now on, Lin Sidong would learn a lesson and always remember this day.

"Brother..."

"Let’s say no more, it’s all in the wine. Come, Lin Hao, Zilan, Weiwei, Lin Yue, sister-in-law, cheers!"

Zhou Zilan picked up her glass and stood up.

Lin Hao remained expressionless but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

The grudge of five years ago was finally resolved by his father, which had been a major impediment to his parents possibly becoming Cultivators in the future.

To resolve the grudge, there were two ways.

One was to eliminate Lin Sidong’s family, and the other was to have an epiphany.

The former, Lin Siyuan certainly couldn’t do.

Yet today, by a twist of fate, it seemed his father had come to an epiphany.

As for Lin Sidong’s family, Lin Hao never really cared. In the future, if they changed for the better, good; if not, he wouldn’t mind letting them disappear forever.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank down their liquor in one swallow.
