Chapter 06
After changing into his slippers, Qi Lin walked to the luxurious dining room and sat down at the redwood dining table.
In 2002, Qi Linâs family was already worth hundreds of millions. They lived in a villa and drove a Mercedes luxury car.
This was what people commonly called a young master who was born in Rome.
Unfortunately, Qi Linâs father, Qi Feng, later made poor business decisions. The familyâs breeding industry gradually became a heavy-asset burden.
Later on, a swine fever outbreak devastated the entire farm, wiping everything out overnight and bringing the family back to square one.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with Qi Lin himself. He spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun, leaving the family business without a successor.
It wasnât that Qi Lin wasnât smart or lacked business talent.
The real reason was that his father spoiled him too much.
Whatever Qi Lin wanted, he got. If he didnât want to work, he didnât have to. As long as his father could still handle the business, Qi Lin could continue living as a carefree rich second-generation heir.
With a father who spoiled his son like that, which rich heir would still work hard like an ordinary employee?
On the redwood table were countless delicaciesâevery dish was something Qi Lin loved.
Spanish ham stir-fried with celery, steamed small grouper, Boston lobster, braised lionâs head meatballs, fried wagyu steakâŠ
Qi Lin was a carnivore. Aunt Chen had been cooking for the Qi family for many years and already knew his taste very well. Since Qi Linâs parents doted on him, the meals at home were naturally prepared according to his preferences.
In the past, Qi Lin ate these luxurious dishes every day and had long grown used to them.
But now, after experiencing the bankruptcy crisis in his previous life, Qi Lin looked at the table full of food and suddenly felt an indescribable warmthâand even a little nostalgia.
He ate bite after bite with great appetite.
Watching Qi Lin eat so happily, Aunt Chen said kindly,
âXiao Lin is at the age where heâs still growing. If you like it, eat more. If itâs not enough, Aunt Chen will make more for you.â
Only then did Qi Lin seem to remember something.
He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and pushed Aunt Chen to sit at the table.
âAunt Chen, from now on donât wait for me to finish and then eat the leftovers. Youâre family too. Meals should be eaten together.â
âYou childâŠâ
Aunt Chen looked a little surprised at first.
Qi Lin had always been carefree and rarely paid attention to what others thought.
Seeing him suddenly become so considerate made her a bit unaccustomed to it.
But even so, she was definitely touched.
Unable to refuse Qi Linâs insistence, Aunt Chen finally sat down and ate with him.
Click.
Just as the two of them were eating and chatting happily, the villa door opened again.
As if he already knew who had arrived, a playful glint appeared in Qi Linâs eyes.
Qi Linâs parents rarely ate at home. They started their business through technical work and often stayed at the company, constantly monitoring the breeding farms.
However, during Qi Linâs final year of high school, a distant relative came to stay at their house.
For the following three years, Qi Linâs dinners were usually shared with that distant relative.
At this moment, when Qi Lin saw the person who walked in, he slowly put down his chopsticks and stood up to walk over.
At the entrance stood a graceful figure.
She looked about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
She was dressed in a stylish gray business suit with a small Chanel-style skirt, and her slender legs were covered in thin black stockings.
From her outfit, she clearly looked like a working professional.
At that moment, the graceful woman bent slightly at the waist, slipping her delicate feet out of her high heels and into her indoor slippers.
From Qi Linâs angle, the beautiful curve of her foot arch was completely visible.
âAh! Why did you suddenly stand behind me like that?â
Qi Xueyao turned around and was startled by Qi Lin appearing out of nowhere.
âXueyao-jie, you smell really nice today.â
Qi Lin didnât feel embarrassed about his behavior at all. Instead, he leaned closer and lightly sniffed, looking completely carefree and mischievous.
Qi Xueyao.
She was Qi Linâs older sister from the same village.
Of course, not a real sisterâjust a childhood playmate from the same village, with such distant blood relations that it could practically be ignored.
Because Qi Linâs father and Qi Xueyaoâs father had grown up together, the two families could barely be considered relatives.
A month ago, Qi Xueyaoâs father had called Qi Linâs father, asking if his daughter could temporarily stay with them.
After all, she had just stepped into society. Her father wasnât comfortable with her living alone in a rented apartment, so he asked Qi Linâs father to take care of her for a while.
âQi Lin, youâŠâ
Seeing Qi Linâs frivolous actions and teasing tone, Qi Xueyao looked at him in disbelief.
In her eyes, this distant younger brother from the same village was just a useless rich second-generation who spent his days idling around.
Whenever they met before, Qi Lin would blush and not even dare to look at her.
Having already graduated from university, Qi Xueyao naturally understood what that meantâher younger village âbrotherâ had a crush on her.
But now, the same boy who used to blush just from glancing at her was suddenly teasing her the moment he spoke.
It left Qi Xueyao completely stunned.
âQi Lin, what exactly are you learning at school? How can you talk to me like that? If you say things like that again, Iâll really get angry.â
Qi Xueyaoâs pretty face showed a hint of annoyance. Then she walked past Qi Lin and headed straight to the dining table to eat.
She still had to live in Qi Linâs house for a while. Although she was upset by his behavior, she didnât want to create conflict over such a small matter.
