C444 Open Heart

The Lin Clan was also a super corporation in the capital.

The head of the Lin Clan, Lin Baye, was an eighty-year-old man who was in charge of the Lin Clan's affairs.

And Lin Ruochu's father, Lin Piaoyao, was the only person who dared to confront Lin Baye head on.

However, Lin Piaoyao was extremely talented, although she acted tough against her father, she was still recognized by Lin Baye. After she revealed her identity as a teenager, Lin Baye regarded him as the successor of the Lin Family, while the other siblings, although some were not jealous, were seen through by Lin Piaoyao one by one.

In Lin Ruochu's memories, what she heard ever since she was young was this. But when she became sensible, she only remembered that her father and grandfather were arguing with each other more and more loudly, often in her grandfather's study room. There were even some sounds of them knocking over the table.

However, Lin Piaoyao's position was still stable, so when Lin Ruochu was the size of a great star, almost everyone in the same generation would surround her and regard her as their leader. Amongst them, she and Lin Xiaoxiao played the best.

Lin Xiaoxiao was the name of the seductive woman.

In the end, Lin Piaoyao and Lin Baye did not argue much, but they rarely returned home, and would spend the entire year outside, causing her mother to only support his by holding the window and sighing.

Until that day, Lin Ruochu would always remember that the sky on that day was gloomy, as if it was going to rain. But no matter what, there weren't any drops of rain, and the air was like a huge, stuffy furnace.

When she and Lin Xiaoxiao returned home from school, they saw her father, who she had not seen for a long time, slam the door from her grandfather's study room.

Dad stopped.

Lin Ruochu was scared, she shouted one after another: "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"

His mother also ran over and grabbed his arm, crying as she advised, "Let's go back. Don't go, don't go. Don't go find her."

However, his father still slapped away his mother's hand in the end. His voice was hoarse as if two steel knives were slashing at each other. "Go back, you will never be my wife ever again!"

After saying that, he carried her and walked away. He turned around to look at his mother and saw that her face was full of tears. Holding her pure white skirt with both hands, she had caught up to him …

Just like this, Lin Ruochu's family completely broke off their relationship with the capital's Lin Family and arrived at Jinling, a place far away from the capital. Not long after, her father started her own family from scratch, and built the Lin Group with one hand.

However, this Lin's disease was not the same as the previous Lin's disease, they no longer belonged to that family in the capital.

Lin Ruochu originally thought that life would be settled, but with the creation of the Lin Group, before she could even gain a foothold, her father suddenly disappeared and never came back.

Lin Ruochu cried. Under great difficulty, her mother bravely stepped forward, and with her status as a woman, she defeated the people who were lusting after the position of Lin Group, and successfully defended it.

This was also why even though Lin Ruochu was Lin Group's CEO at the time, the group's Vice President leaned towards her mother.

Because the female CEO of the Lin Group from before was her mother!

When Lin Ruochu grew up, she would enter Lin Group and step into the position of CEO.

As for Lin Youxi, he was born only after his family came to Jinling, so she did not know about the Lin Family's matters in the capital.

In his childhood, Lin Ruochu had always had a problem, and that was that he hoped that his father, Lin Piaoyao, would come back one day. However, after looking forward to it for more than ten years, this problem had never been resolved.

In the cafe, after Xu Qingmo finished listening to what Lin Ruochu had to say, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

From the looks of it, the reason why Lin Ruochu had her personality split was probably because of her childhood. Especially her missing father, she was most likely the reason behind Lin Ruochu's personality split.

Maybe Lin Ruochu originally had the appearance of a Little Chu, and was pure and innocent. But because of her father's disappearance, she was brought into Lin Group by her mother, and under the pressure of the commercial sea and reality, she gradually became prideful and cold, and in the end, completely froze on top of her own body, taking the appearance of a tyrannical female CEO. Her initial simple appearance, seemed to have been sealed completely.

Of course, all of this was just Xu Qingmo's guess.

The coffee became cold, but Lin Ruochu did not pick it up, she only looked at the carefully crafted patterns on the coffee, and it started to melt.

Xu Qingmo's heart suddenly ached. He stood up, then sat beside Lin Ruochu and gently reached out his hand, pressing Lin Ruochu's head onto her shoulder.

Lin Ruochu did not resist, she just leaned on Xu Qingmo's shoulder like that.

"Uncle Li was my grandfather's bodyguard and was about the same age as my father. The two of us often sparred, so I would watch from the side." Lin Ruochu continued.

"Your father knows kung fu?" Xu Qingmo was surprised.

When he sparred with Uncle Li, he would be beaten up in the first week and then in the second week, he would have to wait for the third week and let Uncle Li handle it all. Uncle Li said that Father was the only martial arts expert he had ever seen in his entire life, and even Grandfather did not have this kind of talent when he was young. Lin Ruochu laughed lightly, "My father is definitely stronger than you!"

Xu Qingmo smiled faintly, and did not bother with Lin Ruochu's last sentence, but he was still a little apprehensive about the previous description.

Uncle Li was the floral beard, and he had seen it before. He was a profound practitioner, and one of the best at that, but because he was in the mortal world and had gone through a lot of trials, his strength had dropped by a lot.

Could it be that he would break through to the realm of true qi?

Xu Qingmo couldn't help but ask himself, if Lin Piaoyao really appeared in front of him, who was stronger and who was weaker, even if they didn't fight, he still wouldn't know.

Just that, Lin Baye knew martial arts, so did Uncle Li. Lin Piaoyao had learnt martial arts since a young age, looks like the Lin Family had a tradition of practicing martial arts, but why, Lin Ruochu and Lin Youxi knew nothing about martial arts.

"You're amazing too. You treat me like a pillow and I don't even dare to retaliate." Xu Qingmo laughed.

Lin Ruochu smiled blandly, "When I was young, I told father that I wanted to learn martial arts, but he rejected me. At that time, he looked a little sad.

Oh, a martial artist can actually say that martial arts is the most harmful?

This was something that Xu Qingmo did not expect. What exactly did Lin Piaoyao experience at that time?

"With me here, you don't need to practice martial arts." Xu Qingmo said seriously, although he did not say the last sentence, the two of them knew what that meant.

I practice martial arts to protect you. You don't need to practice martial arts because of me.

"Hmph, I have Little Black." Lin Ruochu laughed.

Xu Qingmo also smiled, then said, "Today, those two people appeared. It seems like the entire Lin Family knows about your return to the capital, then you …"

"I don't know what to do either." Lin Ruochu sighed softly, "I was afraid that I would never return to the capital again. Ever since father took me away, he never thought that there would come a day where he would return to the capital.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruochu said, "Why don't we go back? Since the dust has settled, you won't be wanted. They don't require us to stay in the capital; we can definitely go back to Jinling."

Xu Qingmo replied: "Yes, but I hope that we won't go back."

"Why?" Lin Ruochu was a little surprised.

"Do you believe your father will come back?"

"Yes!" Lin Ruochu had cut down gold and cut down iron.

"Does your mother know where he went?" Xu Qingmo asked.

Lin Ruochu shook her head: "She said she doesn't know. At the beginning, I thought she was lying to me, but so many years have passed, I know, she really doesn't know."

"So, perhaps only one person knows why your father and your grandfather quarreled so greatly and why they broke off their relationship when they ran away from home."

"My grandfather?" Lin Ruochu understood.

"En, I'm afraid only he knows the ins and outs of this matter. Since we've come to the capital, why don't we find out? If your father doesn't return, we can go find him." Xu Qingmo said.

Lin Ruochu went silent, with some hesitation.

Don't worry, we don't need to directly go find your grandfather. You have just met Uncle Li, and on the second day, someone came to look for you. Thinking about it, you have caused a huge commotion in the Lin Family, and they will not stop. Xu Qingmo said in a relaxed manner.

Lin Ruochu still said: "I … I'm a little afraid."

When he had left the capital, Lin Ruochu was only a few years old. After so many years had passed, he had had to reunite with his old friends from the family.

"I'm here." Xu Qingmo had only said two words before he quieted down.

These two simple words here mean a lot to me, so much that Lin Ruochu felt that she was wrapped up in a warm spring. She was warm and dependable, not afraid at all.

"Yes." Lin Ruochu nodded lightly.

The interior of the coffee shop suddenly became warm.

"Haha, it's time for coffee."

"Pah pah! It's so astringent! It's all cold now!"

"I'll order another."

"No, it's too wasteful."

"You're a CEO. Coffee money."

"Then don't waste it, drink it!"

"Yes sir!"

A happy voice came out from the coffee box. The distance between Xu Qingmo and himself was finally opened again.

Xu Qingmo had completely walked into Lin Ruochu's life, and wasn't like before. He was only a little closer to Lin Ruochu, but his heart was still a little far away.

In the past, I was unable to walk with you. In the future, I will accompany you!
