Eight hours later, a discreet black sedan finally arrived at the Lin Clan Manor in Yan City.
Lin Zhantian, the head of the Lin Clan, his wife Jiang Yunzhi, and his stand-in Young Master Lin Hui had already received the news.
They waited at the entrance of the manor.
As soon as Ling Yi Ling Yi got out of the car, a figure rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"Son, you're finally back. You've suffered so much all these years." Jiang Yunzhi hugged Ling Yi tightly, her voice trembling with tears.
Ling Yi coughed lightly, "Cough cough, I can't breathe!"
Ling Yi is not Lin Feng, after all.
Being hugged by such a beautiful woman made me feel very awkward.
If it were someone else, Ling Yi might have had a different attitude.
But after all, he's using Lin Feng's identity... cough cough, it's not quite appropriate.
Jiang Yunzhi refused to let go and held on for a while longer before finally releasing her.
"Hmph, are we the ones who won't let him come back? It's his own choice to stay away because of a woman."
Lin Zhantian snorted coldly.
That's true.
My second uncle's problem was resolved three years ago.
At that time, Lin Feng can return to the Lin Clan.
It was because of Liu Ruyan that Lin Feng didn't want to come back.
It was precisely because Lin Feng was unwilling to return that the stand-in Young Master Lin Hui came into being.
"Alright, that's enough. Our son has already come to his senses and is back, hasn't he?" Jiang Yunzhi rolled her eyes at Lin Zhantian.
Then, taking Lin Feng's hand, she came to Lin Hui's side.
" Uncle Li has already told you, right? This is Lin Hui, your father and I's adopted son."
"From now on, he'll be your younger brother."
Jiang Yunzhi seemed somewhat guilty when introducing Lin Hui.
I'm also a little worried.
This is a substitute for her son; she adopted him from the orphanage because she missed him so much.
In recent years, she has given almost all of her maternal love to this stand-in.
But no matter what, a stand-in is still just a stand-in.
What will my son think if I don't Guo'er his consent?
If his son is opposed to this, how should Lin Hui handle the situation?
At this point, Jiang Yunzhi's primary concern was not whether his son could accept it, but rather how Lin Hui would handle the situation.
This clearly shows that this so-called mother has begun to show favoritism.
But Ling Yi wasn't there to play along with the stand-in Young Master's storyline.
He came back to overturn the table.
Ling Yi looked at Lin Hui, about to speak.
The system suddenly screamed.
[Ah, ah, Big Shot, we've struck gold!]
The system's voice was so loud that Ling Yi jumped in surprise.
"System, are you fucking insane?!"
[No way, Big Shot, we've really struck gold! This guy has a system.]
"Huh? As the Protagonist, isn't it normal for him to have a system?"
Whether he's the Protagonist or not isn't important; what's important is the system this guy possesses.
"So what?"
[If I can reclaim his system, I'll gain a huge amount of energy, and its functions will become increasingly complete. Please help me, Big Shot!]
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward during Ling Yi's conversation with the system, as no action was taken.
At this moment, Lin Hui took two steps forward.
Approaching Ling Yi, he took out a beautifully packaged box from his pocket.
He handed it to Ling Yi: "Brother, welcome home. I didn't know what you liked, so this watch is a little gift from your younger brother."
[ Big Shot, there's something wrong with this watch.]
The system screamed again.
[This guy's system is Damage Transfer System, and this display is the medium.]
The system quickly explained.
[If you accept this Big Shot, any harm Lin Hui suffers in the future will be transferred to Big Shot.]
[This damage, not just Physics damage, but damage of any kind, will be transferred.]
[For example, if Lin Hui loses money, that money will be transferred to the host, and the host will become the one who lost the money.]
[If Lin Hui deliberately harms himself, then the host will be crippled in no time.]
[ Big Shot, please don't accept this watch!]
However, before the system could finish speaking, Ling Yi had already taken the box.
He had already opened the box, taken out the watch, and put it on his wrist.
[Ah, ah, Big Shot, what are you doing? Did you hear what I said?]
Why are you wearing a watch?
"Shut up!" Ling Yi thought to himself.
Then he grinned at Lin Hui.
"Little brother, I really like this gift."
These words immediately lightened the atmosphere.
Ling Yi patted Lin Hui on the shoulder. "These past few years while I was away, I'm so grateful to have you taking care of Mom and Dad."
"I've already heard about my brother from Uncle Li."
At this moment, Ling Yi had changed his mind about overturning the table.
Since the system says that Lin Hui's system is useful to him, he definitely has to get his hands on it!
However, I can't help for nothing.
We definitely need to negotiate a profit-sharing agreement with the system.
Ling Yi would never do something without benefit.
"Even if I were at home, I wouldn't do as well as my younger brother. From now on, the family affairs are in your hands."
"Brother, I'm still an outsider. Now that you're back, everything should naturally be returned to you!"
That's a bit much, isn't it?
Could it be that the stand-in Young Master also uses the same old tricks of a fake Young Master?
"What are you talking about? My parents know my own abilities. Asking me to manage the household would be more like squandering the family fortune."
"It's decided then."
At this moment, Lin Zhantian waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone, stop standing here and go back to eat!"
The scene at the manor gate has officially ended.
The group entered the manor and headed towards the main house.
I must say, this manor is truly enormous!
The manor features an antique design.
Yanran an ancient royal palace.
The first three steps, the middle three steps, and the last three steps.
Artificial hill, pavilion, artificial lake, side courtyard, main house, main hall.
There's supposedly a horse farm behind it.
It took a full five minutes to walk from the manor gate to the main hall of the house.
During this time, Jiang Yunzhi held Ling Yi and Lin Hui's hands the whole time.
I happily told them about things that had happened over the years.
Xinran Ling Yi's "sensible" nature and the harmonious relationship between the brothers.
Meanwhile, the system's voice kept chattering in Ling Yi's ear.
[ Big Shot, take off your watch and throw it away.]
[If you're finished, I'm finished too. I'll be Reverse Devouring up by their system.]
[Hey Big Shot, can you hear me?]
"Can you shut the Laozi up? You're making so much noise."
[Waaaaah, can Big Shot please tell me why?!]
"You idiot, have you forgotten something?"
What's up?
"New player gift pack!" Ling Yi reminded him.
[Hmm, eh? Wow, hahaha, I understand!]
The system was stunned for a moment, then burst into maniacal laughter.
[Newbie gift pack, concept-level skill reflection, hahaha, what's there to be afraid of with this skill?]
[ Lin Hui's Damage Transfer System is nothing compared to the Big Shot's reflection skill.]
[We don't even need to do anything; Lin Hui can ruin himself.]
[Hehehe, system, it's mine! Energy, it's mine!]
Ling Yi sneered, "No, Master, you're wrong, it's mine!"
