Bai Youxin was unable to refute Lin Wuchen's words.

This time the incident happened because the Bai family did offend the Lin family, but those small businesses that were previously swallowed up by the Bai family did not offend the Bai family at all.

However, because it blocked the Bai family's expansion, it was eaten away bit by bit.

Lin Wuchen didn't have the patience to talk to Bai Youxin any more, and said in a cold voice: "Bai Shaodong, please go back. If you continue to make trouble, I'm afraid you will lose your dignity."

When Bai Youxin was doing business in the past, she had to deal with powerful people.

Bowing and scraping is even more common.

She doesn't think it's a big deal, everyone just gets what they need.

But today, she truly felt that Lin Wuchen had thrown her face and self-esteem to the ground and trampled on it.

But things are different now, she can't anger Lin Wuchen anymore.

Bai Youxin took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "Sorry to bother you, Third Young Master Lin. I'll take my leave now. Third Young Master Lin, please reconsider what I just said."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of Lin's Company.

The person who accompanied her today was Madam Liu, who was also an elder member of the Bai family in the capital.

Because Ju'er was sold out, Nanny Liu has been staying with Bai Youxin all this time.

"Miss, don't be too anxious. Our Bai family has been doing business for hundreds of years. No matter how capable Third Young Master Lin is, can he really overthrow the Bai family?"

As Matron Liu spoke, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and helped Bai Youxin get in.

Bai Youxin didn't say anything, she just thought that Madam Liu was ignorant and fearless.

The third young master of the Lin family really has the ability to overthrow the Bai family. It just depends on whether he wants to do it.

On the way back to the Bai family, Bai Youxin lifted the curtain a little and looked outside casually.

She had been to the capital many times, but this time she had the most complicated feelings.

When passing by a casino, there seemed to be a commotion ahead and the carriage stopped.

Bai Youxin looked over and saw that it was the casino manager who was collecting debts. But it was the first time she had seen someone collecting debts in such a servile way.

The man who owed the money was a man in his twenties, dressed in fine clothes, and one could tell at a glance that he was of noble status.

The casino manager was discussing, "Mr. Jiang, please give me some money, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my boss."

Bai Youxin was puzzled. Since this young man was of noble status, he shouldn't be collecting debts in public.

Then he suddenly realized that this was the capital. Those who could open casinos in the capital were all well-connected people.

Although the steward was humble, the fact that he said it in public showed that the boss behind him did not take the young man in front of him seriously.

Madam Liu looked out through the gap in the carriage curtain and said, "Isn't this the second son of the Jiang family of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion? Speaking of which, he is related to our Bai family."

"It's just that I haven't been around much in recent years. Who would have thought that the Jiang family is so prosperous now. I heard that the Empress Chen in the palace is now the most favored in the harem."

Bai Youxin was a little surprised. How come she didn't know about this marriage?

"What kind of relationship do our family have with the Jiang family? Why don't we have any contact with each other?"

Madam Liu said, "The great-grandmother of the second son of the Jiang family was a sister of the young lady's great-grandmother. Later, the Jiang family gradually declined. I heard that the ancestors had conflicts, but they faded away. By the time of the master's generation, there was almost no contact."

"This second son of the Jiang family, he flirts with cats and dogs, chases girls and chases away widows in the capital, his reputation is very bad."

"But I heard that their eldest son is stationed in Liaodong and is already a third-rank general."

Bai Youxin looked at the second son of the Jiang family, who looked like a scoundrel, and suddenly she had an idea.

If this step is taken correctly, perhaps the Bai family will still have a chance to turn things around.

She whispered to Madam Liu, "Madam, send someone to keep an eye on the second son of the Jiang family when we get back."

Madam Liu was puzzled. "Young lady, are you trying to establish a relationship with the Jiang family? If it was before the Empress Chen entered the palace, it might be easy, but now..."

Even without her saying it, Bai Youxin knew that at this time, the Jiang family would never look at a poor distant relative like her.

Bai Youxin said softly, "I'm not looking for a relationship, I want to do business with the Jiang family, or more precisely, with the Empress Chen."

"There are not many people in Beijing who can speak for the Bai family, and Empress Chen is one of them."

She offered half or even 70% of the Bai family's wealth, and she didn't believe that the Empress Chen would not be tempted. As long as the Lin family could stop, the Bai family would have a chance to make a comeback.

Although Nanny Liu didn't know what she was going to do, she nodded in agreement.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February, and Lin Wanli, the eldest master of the Lin family, finally arrived in Beijing after a dusty journey.

It was already evening when he arrived in Beijing. After a casual dinner, he called Lin Wuchen to his study.

The father and son sat opposite each other and talked about this matter.

Lin Wanli was very satisfied with the result. After all, Su Shunci was the daughter-in-law he had long chosen.

But when Lin Wuchen said that the two of them would settle down in the capital, Su Shunci would run the shipping business alone, and all the industries would be private property, the smile on Lin Wanli's face froze.

"You are making a fuss. According to the rules of the Lin family, everyone must return to the old house in Yunzhou Prefecture to settle down."

"Besides, after marriage, she will be the wife of the Third Young Master of the Lin family. How can she run a shipping business alone?"

He knew that his third son was a stubborn person, so he looked at Lin Wuchen twice while speaking.

Seeing that he didn't listen at all, she slowed down her tone and said, "Wu Chen, don't act recklessly. No matter how capable a woman is, she will eventually have to take care of her husband and children. You are a man, you have to support the family business."

Lin Wuchen disagreed and said, "What about my aunt? She has been supporting her husband and raising children for twenty years, and what did she get in return?"

"Ah Ci's business has nothing to do with whether I can support the family business or not. She is my wife, and I support her in everything she does, as long as she likes it and is happy."

Lin Wanli said angrily: "Your aunt is a special case and has nothing to do with your marriage."

"You are going to turn against Tian Gang. Since she is doing well in business, why don't you go home and have a baby?"

Lin Wuchen shrugged, "If I can give birth, it's not impossible."

Lin Wanli was so angry that he lowered his head, took off his shoes, and was about to hit Lin Wuchen.

There was a loud bang, and a big shoe sole hit Lin Wuchen.

There was a big shoe print on the moon-white brocade robe with dark patterns.

Lin Wanli was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you hide?"

Lin Wuchen said seriously: "Father can use any punishment he wants on me."

“But there is no turning back on this matter.”

"If father feels that I have brought shame to the Lin family, I can also leave the Lin family. After all, I am not the eldest son."

Lin Wanli was so angry that he kicked him again, then turned around and left the study.

Lin Wuchen went back to sleep as usual as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, during breakfast, Lin Wanli said with a stern face, "I will find a house for you in the next few days, and Mr. Lin will pay for it."

"You are not an orphan, so why do you buy a house with your own money?"
