The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

Xiao Ye was only responsive to Lin Chuyue's touch. As for other women, unless it was absolutely necessary, he only felt disgust.

Lin Chuxing was a little unhappy. She had seen earlier how Xiao Ye had left, grabbing Lin Chuyue by the wrist.

'How come when it's me, he suddenly doesn't like it?'

But she couldn't press the issue right now. It wouldn't be good if she incurred Xiao Ye's disgust.

Although she was naive, she wasn't completely clueless. She knew not to make too much of a scene.

"Xiao Ye, we're going to get married, right?"

Xiao Ye nodded. "We will."

"In that case, I'll be your wife in the future. Will you help me take back what's mine?"

The motion of Xiao Ye's hands paused. "What do you want to take back?"

"The Lin Family's things, of course!" Lin Chuxing sat down in a nearby chair. "Look, Lin Chuyue has gotten so much from the Lin Family, but I have nothing!"

"I'm part of the Lin Family too. How can the Lin Family be so biased?"

While it was true that Lin Chuxing was a member of the Lin Family, her disappearance back then wasn't caused by the family.

Besides, Lin Chuyue was a victim in a way, too. Her parents also weren't around.

Furthermore, everything the Lin Family owned technically belonged to Lin Aoshan.

He could give it to whomever he pleased. She couldn't just assume the entire Lin Family owed her because she went missing!

If the Lin Family had been at fault for it all, then her attitude would be understandable.

But from start to finish, the Lin Family were the victims.

Lin Chuxing saw nothing wrong with her reasoning and continued, "Lin Chuyue has already stolen so much from me. I don't want to hand the Lin Group over to her."

"I'm the older sister. The inheritance rights should be mine."

"She's taken so much that belongs to me, it's time she gave it back."

Xiao Ye's smile was icy. "You need to understand, your disappearance wasn't caused by Lin Chuyue."

"Also, whatever the Lin Family is willing to give you is their business. You can't just assume, as if it's your birthright, that everything belongs to you."

Lin Chuxing's lip trembled. "Why can't I think that?"

"If I hadn't disappeared, I would definitely be more outstanding than Lin Chuyue!"

"How can they compensate me for the twenty-odd years I've lost?"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Ye knew it was pointless to argue. "Fine. Then how do you want to take it back?"

"First, I want the Lin Group!"

Xiao Ye nodded. "Fine. It's yours."

Lin Chuxing hadn't expected him to agree so readily. She was stunned for a moment, but that was quickly replaced by ecstatic joy.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Lin Chuxing excitedly left the study.

Xiao Ye watched her back, his eyes turning ice-cold.

Lin Chuxing hurried to the small building out back.

Completely ignoring the fact that Lin Chuyue was still there, she spoke directly to Lin Aoshan. "Xiao Ye has already agreed. He's going to have you hand the Lin Group over to me."

"I'd advise you not to struggle. If you wait for Xiao Ye to take action himself, it'll be a completely different story than if you hand it over willingly!"

Lin Aoshan's expression changed slightly. He couldn't believe Xiao Ye would be so ruthless!

The Lin Group was the Lin Family's main enterprise; everything the family had was tied up in it.

Even if Lin Chuxing was part of the Lin Family, he couldn't just rashly hand an entire corporation over to her.

If anything went wrong, the Lin Family would be finished!

Even Lin Chuyue, who had been groomed as the successor from the start, had only officially entered the group's inner management and become its CEO the previous year.

Managing a corporation is no simple matter.

"What, you're not willing?" Seeing the look on Lin Aoshan's face, Lin Chuxing was instantly displeased.

Her gaze fell on Lin Chuyue. "I'm your biological granddaughter too. So just because she grew up by your side, you think it's okay to give the group to her?"

"We have the exact same status, so on what grounds can you not give the Lin Group to me?"

Fearing Lin Chuxing would anger Lin Aoshan, Lin Chuyue quickly tried to explain, "Big Sis, it's not what you think."

"It's just that changing the leadership of the Lin Group is no small matter. It's not as simple as just swapping one person for another."

"There are so many things involved... It took me many years to learn it all."

"Big Sis, if you want to take control of the group, I definitely won't fight you for it. But now isn't the right time. How about we talk about it after you've had some time to get familiar with things?"

Lin Chuyue was genuinely resolved to hand the company over to Lin Chuxing once she was familiar with it.

'I've already taken so much. Whatever Lin Chuxing wants, I'll give it to her.'

'I'll consider it my way of compensating her for the past twenty years.'

Perhaps Lin Aoshan and Lin Feng never owed Lin Chuxing anything.

But Lin Chuyue felt that she did owe her. 'If I had never been born, none of this would have happened.'

Lin Chuxing crossed her arms and sneered, "After all that, aren't you just trying to say I'm not as good as you?"

"Anyway, I have Xiao Ye. So what if I don't know how? He'll definitely find someone to help me!"

Hearing that name, Lin Chuyue's heart ached again.

'That's right... Why am I even meddling so much?'

'Xiao Ye has countless capable people under him. He can even manage a family as huge as the Xiao Family, let alone a small company like the Lin Group...'

Lin Chuxing delivered an ultimatum. "I'm only giving you three days. In three days, I want the Lin Group to be mine."

"Lin Aoshan, don't worry. I'll take care of you all when the time comes."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Lin Aoshan clutched his chest in anger. "How... how could she be like this!"

"Grandpa, she was raised elsewhere for so many years. It's normal that her personality isn't like a member of the Lin Family. Since Xiao Ye says she's my sister, then she must be."

Lin Chuyue knew what Xiao Ye was capable of; he definitely wouldn't make a mistake about this.

"No, I have to go find Xiao Ye! Even if my Lin Family isn't as powerful as the Xiao Family, he can't just be so casual about this!"

"Grandpa..." Lin Chuyue wanted to dissuade him, but Lin Aoshan had made up his mind and was determined to go.

She couldn't stop him, so she could only accompany him.

A knock came from the study door.

"Come in."

Lin Aoshan stormed through the door. "Xiao Ye, why did you promise to give the Lin Group to Lin Chuxing!"

Xiao Ye looked at Lin Chuyue behind him. "Chuyue, could you please step out for a moment? I'd like to speak with the old master alone."

"Okay." Lin Chuyue quietly left the study.

She sat in the living room. Even though maids were constantly walking past, she still felt incredibly lonely.

The house was so warm, yet a chill spread through her entire body...

「In the study.」

Lin Aoshan still couldn't suppress his anger. "Xiao Ye, I know you've helped our Lin Family a great deal."

"But the Lin Family's company is, at the end of the day, still ours! We, the Lin Family, get to call the shots!"

"You casually promised to hand the company over to Chuxing. What is the Lin Family supposed to do? What is Chuyue supposed to do?"

"I know I might sound biased saying this, but Chuyue is the one who grew up by my side. I know what she's capable of. She is the one who can manage the Lin Group properly."

"Even though I haven't spent much time with Chuxing, I can already tell her personality is not suited for being in charge!"
