Chapter 65 Illegitimate daughter? ? ?
"etc……"
Lin Yan astutely spotted the blind spot: "Little Fish?"
Nia peeked half her head out from in Syl's arms and nodded sadly.
"Hmm... they're the fish from the mountain stream... When Miki and I first came here, they were only the size of a finger... Later they grew so big and fat, and they were so delicious..."
"Wait a minute? I remember the reservoirs in the mountains near Guanzhen are all connected, right?"
He finally understood the series of events that had occurred this month! Before, Lin Yan was puzzled, thinking that the fish in the fishing pond were bought by Lin Jiayao.
Transcending boundaries, tearing through space... Overflowing magic... The flow of time becomes disordered...
"So... the fish in my fishing spot were accelerated to maturity by the magic that leaked out when you tore open a spatial rift here?!"
Nia blinked, tilted her head innocently, and muttered something under her breath.
"Huh? What kind of mutation? I don't know... I only know that small fish smell especially good when grilled..."
Miki, standing nearby, also timidly raised her little hand as a witness.
"Yes...yes, Lord Lin Yan...Lady Nia goes to catch the fattest little fish every day."
……
The last piece of paperwork in town was finally completed, and Lin Jiayao walked out with his briefcase.
The evening sunset was perfect, and the breeze was gentle.
"Phew~"
He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed.
A significant number of Liu Xiaohui's group of middle school students have decided to enroll in vocational schools after the high school entrance examination, and all the intended enrollment contracts have been finalized.
The construction of the vocational school is progressing very smoothly, and the main building and dormitories are expected to be completed within a few months.
The foundations for the planned streets that have been under construction have been basically dug, and now the framework is being poured.
The factory's equipment has been handed over to professionals, and they are now discussing the specific models of equipment to purchase.
The progress of each project is as smooth as silk.
"hey-hey……"
Lin Jiayao pushed up his glasses, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"Great job, that was really well done, awesome!"
He hummed a little tune from the provincial anthem.
"Ah, Zaiyan is a born strategist..."
On his way back to the village, Lin Jiayao began his daily mental exercise again, imagining Lin Yan's next big move.
"We've partnered with professional university research professors to improve the variety and flavor of lychees, integrated the Guanzhen lychee industry chain... and built our own factory!"
"At that time, Ayan will be in charge behind the scenes, strategizing and planning, while I will be his right-hand man... to revitalize our hometown!"
Lin Jiayao felt increasingly pleased with himself.
Before he knew it, he had entered the village and passed by Lin Yan's house.
"Oh, Ayan's back?"
Lin Jiayao was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, weren't Lin Yan and Xier on vacation at the beach?
"They probably came back early and didn't have time to let me know?"
Lin Jiayao's smile deepened.
Just in time, he had just finished the last bit of work on the hometown's development plan, so he could report the results to his cousin and hear his instructions for the next steps.
"Ayan, why didn't you tell me you were coming back..."
Lin Jiayao pushed open the living room door.
……
Lin Yan was accompanied by two little girls!
Meanwhile, Syl was wiping the face of the little girl with pink hair with a towel.
His gaze shifted back and forth.
Lin Yan.
Syl.
A pink-haired little girl.
A little girl with brown hair.
Just then, the pink-haired little girl looked up and saw Lin Jiayao at the door.
Her eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a lifeline! She jumped up from the sofa, pointed to the door, and shouted in her childish voice.
"Dad, we have guests!"
"!!!"
"Clatter".
Lin Jiayao's briefcase slipped from his hand.
"……dad?"
Lin Jiayao felt his pupils trembling, and his brain activated a high-frequency thinking mode!
He adjusted his reflective glasses, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp.
He went from being a mild-mannered cousin to being the one whose major concealments were discovered during the year-end audit!
"Judging by appearance, this child is probably... five years old? Six at most? Just graduated from university... which means... Ayan is a freshman in college..."
Lin Jiayao gasped, as if he were seeing an extremely serious debt!
"Ah, Ah Yan..."
Lin Jiayao's voice was trembling.
"You...you were already... in your freshman year of college?!"
"?"
Lin Yan looked at his cousin with a completely bewildered expression.
"Brother, what are you saying?"
"you!"
Lin Jiayao's gaze then turned to the little brown-haired girl.
"……etc."
"The hair color...is different? The facial features...are completely different too...?"
Lin Jiayao's brain crashed again.
"!!! Could it be... two different ones...?"
"You beast!!!"
"Brother, calm down!"
Lin Yan finally realized what his cousin was imagining, and he jumped up from the sofa.
"Let me explain! It's not what you think! The other one isn't mine! It's her classmate!!!"
"The other one? Then this is..."
Feeling that things were getting more and more confusing, Lin Yan hurriedly pointed.
"No, no! This pink-haired one isn't my biological child either! It's mine... uh..."
Lin Yan's mind raced.
"I...found her outside! Adopted her! Yes, adopted her!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Lin Jiayao looked at his cousin expressionlessly.
"Ayan, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
"what?"
"You found her? You can't just pick up such a cute little girl anywhere! Do you think this is a Japanese anime?"
Lin Yan: "..."
He opened his mouth, only to find that he had no way to explain.
After all... Nia did indeed hatch from an egg.
"Dad is lying!"
Just then, Nia heard herself being told she was adopted. She raised her head defiantly, puffed out her cheeks, and protested loudly, "Daddy didn't pick me up! The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes after I was born was Daddy!"
"!!!"
To Lin Jiayao, this was solid proof.
He was furious! He strode forward.
"Snapped!"
He slapped Lin Yan on the shoulder! Lin Jiayao roared in anguish.
"Are you even human?! You, you better explain yourself! Our Lin family has a clean and honest record for generations! You didn't even tell the family you had a daughter?! You had a child! How can you cower and deny it?!"
Lin Yan was so shocked that his scalp tingled, and he opened his mouth wide.
"Brother! Brother, calm down! It's really not like that! Let me explain..."
"What are you explaining?!"
Lin Jiayao didn't give him a chance at all and turned his head away.
"Sister-in-law..."
Lin Jiayao's voice choked with emotion. He clenched his hands tightly as he looked at Xier, who was squatting on the ground holding a hot towel.
"Sister-in-law... I never imagined that you... would be so young, yet you've already done so much for our Lin family... You've suffered so much along the way! You've truly endured so much hardship..."
"..."
"...Eh??????"
