"Elder Dong, this …" Jiang Qianxue opened her hand and took a look. It was a small sandalwood sign with the word "Dong" engraved on it. It was clearly a symbol of the Dong Clan's identity. Taking this was equivalent to possessing the inheritance of the Dong Clan. She was not just an ordinary daughter who had become Elder Dong's daughter.
The Dong Clan was the absolute number one clan in Eastsea City. Although the Jiang Clan was the strongest in the literary and gaming industry, they were still far from being able to match up to the Dong Clan. In comparison, Jiang Qianxue's status in the Jiang family was not as important as the identity Elder Dong gave her.
"Elder Dong, I can't take it." "Since you are so kind to me, I will treat you as a close relative as well. However, this is too precious. I do not dare to accept it." Tears welled up in his eyes, while at the same time, he felt ashamed of himself.
"Haha, little sister, look at me, I've already changed my name. Take what the old gramps gave you. Could it be that he loathed the fact that our Dong Clan was made of dried jewelry and had a strong stench of copper? "If that's the case, then you can agree to it. This way, in the future, I can properly and properly call you Lin Jing brother-in-law."
Dong Bingfeng, who was standing at the side, laughed heartily. He was very satisfied with Jiang Qianxue.
Jiang Qianxue was still a bit hesitant. Lin Jing saw that Old Dong intended to do this, so she advised, "Elder Dong, please accept your kind intentions. "In the future, we'll be considered members of the Dong Clan. Just work hard and not embarrass the elderly."
Hearing everyone say this, Jiang Qianxue had no other choice but to put it away. "Elder Dong, thank you …"
"You're still called Elder Dong?" It's time to call him father! But that's all we need to know. Otherwise, if your old lady finds out about this, I'll lose her position in the first place. " Elder Dong had a smile on his face as he looked at Jiang Qianxue with satisfaction.
"Yes, father." Jiang Qianxue's heart skipped a beat. Everything had happened too fast for her to adapt to.
After talking about Jiang Qianxue, Old Dong's gaze once again fell onto Lin Jing. With a serious expression, he said, "Xiao Lin, come over here. I have something to tell you. Bing Feng, bring Little Snow out first. Introduce her family, tell her about the situation at various places, and recognize them. "
Dong Bingfeng nodded and said nothing more. He said to Jiang Qianxue, "Little sister, let's go. Second brother will bring you to see us. We will definitely make you satisfied!"
Turning back to look at Lin Jing Xue, Jiang Qianxue looked a little hesitant, but she still followed Dong Bingfeng out.
Old Man Dong and Lin Jing were the only two people left in the room. The atmosphere immediately became heavy. Lin Jing knew in his heart that if even Dong Bingfeng had left, Elder Dong would have to tell him quite a few things.
"Xiao Lin, do you have a lot of questions that you want me to answer?" Elder Dong sat up slightly as a light flickered in his eyes.
When Lin Jing saw this, he hastily stepped forward to support her. "I know that you called me here for an urgent matter." But I was too stupid to guess. But let's not worry about other things first. I will definitely find the person who plotted against you this time around! "
"It's good that you have that intention, but I won't allow you to investigate this matter, at least not now! I've also said this to Ice Mountain and his big brother. All of you are still children. There are some things that shouldn't be left to you. " Elder Dong laughed softly as he spoke with a sharp gaze.
"I know you have deep feelings for Snowy. You're a very loyal person. I do have my own selfish desire to take Snowy as my goddaughter."
"I understand what you mean. Please be at ease. Whether it's you or Brother Feng, my attitude towards the Dong Clan is the same."
Lin Jing knew that at this time, old man Dong suddenly wanted to take Jiang Qianxue in as his daughter, and even gave her the inheritance of the clan. Of course, this wasn't a temporary matter.
No matter how much he loved Jiang Qianxue, there was no reason for Elder Dong to give such a good condition. The only possibility was that he wanted to tie Jiang Qianxue to the Dong Clan's ship.
As for Jiang Qianxue, although she was a member of the Jiang family, she was, in reality, at most, an official. Therefore, it was naturally impossible to use her to win over the Jiang Clan.
The only way to put it was of course to say that it was him, or in other words, Baolin's House. The reason Elder Dong did this was naturally because he had his own worries. It was hard to imagine the power of the man behind all this.
Even at the last moment, Elder Dong, who had been listening to Shang Hai's ox for decades in Eastsea City, had no choice but to bring in his most promising ally.
In that short period of time, Lin Jing had already thoroughly understood this matter. The only thing he didn't expect was that Elder Dong would directly say it out loud.
"I'm old. I can't say for sure how many more years I can last. He had to go to the Imperial City to recuperate from his illness and to stay under the watchful eyes of those people to let them have a look. But as long as I don't die anywhere, you will have no problems in the East China Sea. "
"I won't be able to give you guys much time. The longest will be two to three years, while the shortest will be a year and a half. In this period of time, you must grow up quickly and have your own foundations. Only then will you not be controlled by others. "
The more he spoke, the more Elder Dong intended to leave a message. Lin Jing felt an indescribable sorrow in his heart. He had grown up in an orphanage and had never experienced the warmth of a family member. Although the appearance of Uncle Hui had given him some hope, he was not by his side.
Elder Dong further explained that sometimes, they were indeed like the relatives of his elders. Not only had she helped him in the Merchant Sea, but she had also taught him many things, giving him the warmth of a family member that he had never had before. So even if he knew it was a scheme, he didn't care.
And with the current situation, Elder Dong actually already had the determination to die when he went to the Royal Capital this time around. His goal was only to buy them more time. Whether it was Lin Jing or Dong Bingfeng, although the situation appeared to be great, there was still a big tree above their heads to protect them from the wind and rain.
This large tree was naturally Elder Dong. Some people couldn't wait any longer. They wanted to obtain the benefits they wanted as soon as possible, so they did it. Before he was broken, Elder Dong used his last bit of power to fend off the storm.
This alone was worth Lin Jing using his life to repay him. Thinking about this, he kneeled down beside the bed and said with a resolute expression, "Elder Dong, don't worry. I will live up to your expectations. "No matter how powerful those from the Royal Capital are, there will be a day when I will make them regret their actions today."
"Haha, good. Young people have this bit of courage. It's not bad. I believe in you. That brat, Bing Feng, was brave and fierce, but his mind was lacking in intelligence. If he had to compete with those old fellows, he wouldn't be able to do so even if there were ten of him. In this aspect, you are much stronger than him. If he is impulsive, then remember to help me persuade him. "
Elder Dong's expression was very satisfied as he said: "You haven't seen the boss, Bingchuan. He is currently out doing what I gave him." Ever since he was young, he has always had a deeper mindset than ordinary people. In the future, when you see him, you can speak whatever you want. "
"You guys are just as important to me. I don't want to lie down in the coffin and watch scenes of brothers destroying each other. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Hearing this, Lin Jing's heart sank.
What kind of person was Dong Bingyun, to be able to make Elder Dong make such a comment about him? One had to know that this was his own son that he had raised. Could it be that he was worried as well?
As he thought this, Lin Jing naturally didn't show it on his face. He was now certain that Elder Dong was indeed doing his posthumous training. When he left this time, Lin Jing was afraid that he would never have the chance to see him again. The bitterness in his heart grew even stronger.
Elder Dong smiled and patted his head.
"Alright, I've said more or less what I need to say. After I leave, I will leave everything here in Eastsea City to Bingfeng. If there's anything you need to discuss, you two can do it. I've already told him that if you two disagree, then we'll follow your advice. "
"Elder Dong, why don't you stop going to the Imperial City? This is our place after all. Although those people will definitely not let it go, but we are not afraid of them either! " Lin Jing hesitated for a moment. He really couldn't bear to see a weak old man like him stand in front of them and protect them from the wind and rain.
"Hehe, don't worry. I'm already a pile of old bones, so there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as juniors like you have the chance to grow up, then even if I die, I will still have a smile on my face. "Sure, go out and call the Ice Mountain in. I want to talk to him a bit more." Elder Dong said with a smile.
Seeing that old man Dong had already made up his mind, Lin Jing didn't continue to persuade him and nodded his head.
Outside, Dong Bingfeng was waiting outside. When he saw him, he asked, "How is it, what did the old man tell you? Tell me quickly, he was very secretive this morning. "
"The old gramps wants you to go in. Just listen to what he has to say. What about Thousandsnow? "Are you down there? I'll look for her first. I'll see you in the garden later." Lin Qing's expression was somewhat solemn. He was still thinking about Old Dong's previous words.
Dong Bing Feng saw his serious expression and frowned slightly. With a dark expression, he nodded his head and entered the room. After closing the door, Lin Jing went downstairs.
In the room, Elder Dong waved his hand and called Dong Bin Feng over, "I've already told Lin Jing what I should say. He is a man of great ability. If I am not here, you better follow him and learn well. Also, your big brother has been out here for so many years. You'll have to be more cautious when you learn something. Although I have used Jiang Qianxue to tie up Lin Jing, he is not of the same surname. There is no reason for me to risk our lives. "
"I understand father, why didn't you call brother back? If it was him, even those people wouldn't be able to do anything, right?" Dong Bingfeng asked with a puzzled expression. He was well aware that his elder brother was definitely an iron fist, and was even more suitable than him.
"Him? If he's the only one in the Dong Clan, then even if I die here, I don't have any worries. However, with just the two of you, the situation is completely different. "The business of the Dong Clan has expanded a lot in recent years. However, I have already retracted the core business."
There was a profound look in Old Dong's eyes as he continued, "All of these are within Eastsea City. As long as you don't act foolishly and discuss things more with Lin Jing, you can guarantee that there won't be any problems." As for the ones outside, other than the place where you stayed, leave the rest to your big brother. "
"Father, I've never thought of fighting with Big Brother for something. He should know about this." Dong Bin Feng said with a serious expression.
"You are still young, there are some things that you don't understand. It's not that you don't fight, but others will think you don't fight. Besides, it wasn't that you didn't want to fight, but that you didn't want to fight. "In short, both of you are the blood of the Dong Clan. You won't die no matter what." A cold light flashed in Elder Dong's eyes.
"In addition, there are many secrets hidden behind Lin Jing's back. Some things, sometimes, you also have to think, do not rush all the way up. Always remember, your surname is Dong, not Lin. Mother Wu will come with me when the time comes.
