C12 Master!

"Given the Lin Family's prominence in Chuyang City, the matter of succession can't be taken lightly."

The Matriarch declared, her voice unwavering. "I will make the official announcement at our reopening ceremony this coming Tuesday."

Without another word, she exited the meeting room.

"As for next Tuesday, prepare yourselves for a lesson in despair."

Lin Loong muttered under his breath, watching the retreating figures of Lin Yuyan and Mu Chen.

… ….

"Wait, you secured an investment of 500 million?"

Qin Lee, Lin Yuyan's mother, could hardly believe her ears when she heard the news.

"Yes, Mom, it's true! And if I win this bet, I'm likely to be named the successor of the Lin Family!"

Lin Yuyan exclaimed, her heart soaring with a newfound sense of accomplishment.

"Did the Matriarch actually agree to this?"

Qin Lee asked, her eyes narrowing with skepticism.

"Grandma said she'll make the announcement at a press conference next Tuesday."

Lin Yuyan assured her, putting her mother's doubts to rest.

"Wonderful! My daughter is going to be the next Patriarch! Let's see who in the Lin Family will dare to belittle us now!"

Qin Lee exulted, finally allowing herself to bask in the promise of a brighter future for her daughter.

In a moment of anger, Qin Lee glared at Mu Chen, who stood beside her.

"What are you waiting for? You've been eating for free, so get to work! Are you trying to starve me?"

More importantly, Lin Yuyan was the designated future Patriarch of the Lin Family, making Mu Chen's very presence an embarrassment.

Qin Lee was quickly scheming ways to get rid of this perceived nuisance.

"Mom, stop berating Mu Chen. I won this bet..."

Lin Yuyan interjected, just about to reveal the truth of their situation when she noticed Mu Chen subtly shaking his head.

Deciding to let it go, she huffed, "Fine, I won't bother with you right now. I'm going to take a bath."

Rolling her eyes, Lin Yuyan stomped off towards the bathroom,

leaving Mu Chen to retreat to the kitchen.

He was content as long as he could make his wife happy; other people's opinions mattered little to him.

The next day.

It was Mu Chen's first time taking Lin Yuyan to the company on the bike.

As they cruised by opulent villas that seemed to touch the sky, Lin Yuyan signaled for him to stop.

"Being the successor of the Lin Family is just the beginning," she said, her eyes fixed on the cloud-kissed villas. "My ultimate goal is to live in one of those villas on top of the clouds."

Lin Yuyan took a deep breath and looked at the luxurious buildings with an incomparable yearning.

Nestled around a mountain, the Villa on Top of the Clouds was Chuyang City's most prestigious neighborhood, reserved for only the wealthiest families.

"You like it here?"

Mu Chen glanced at Lin Yuyan, noting her awe-struck expression.

"Of course I like it! This is the stuff of dreams!" she exclaimed.

"Aiya! We need to hurry, or we'll be late!"

Lin Yuyan grabbed Mu Chen's arm and pulled him along.

"Alright, hold on tight!"

Mu Chen smirked, stealing one last look at the skies before accelerating away on his electric bicycle.

About ten minutes later.

Just as Mu Chen was parking his electric bike, a gleaming new BMW pulled up beside them.

"Ah, if it isn't Director Lin Yuyan, the recent 500-million investor. Aren't you worried about embarrassing the Lin family, showing up on an electric bike?"

A stylish woman stepped out, her eyes cool and calculating.

She was Lin Loong's sister, Lin Feiyan!

Ignoring her barb, Lin Yuyan whispered to Mu Chen, "Let's go, don't pay her any mind."

Lin Yuyan didn't want to argue with this woman who was famous for her slyness.

"Halt!"

Seeing the two of them ignoring her, Lin Feiyan became even infuriated. She came forward and to intercept them!

"What? You ran away the moment you saw me, did you do anything disgraceful?"

"From today you must continue to ride on the electric bicycle! Don't dream of getting into a luxury car like me. Otherwise, you would regret it!"

Lin Feiyan warned viciously. She wanted to specifically avenge her brother!

"Is your car very costly?!"

Mu Chen feigned surprise.

"Or what? Let me tell you, this BMW of mine is worth over three million. Even if you starve for ten years, you probably can't afford a single tire! "

To her, Mu Chen was nothing but a good-for-nothing!

Since he took the initiative to jump out, of course he had to be humiliated. Thus, she continued to mock him.

"I'm telling you, don't think you're amazing just because you've shamelessly become Lin Yuyan's husband. At most, you're just a pile of trash! You can't even afford to buy a car and you bother to send his wife to work. You are so shameless!"

Lin Feiyan's voice boomed, echoing through the air like a siren, instantly drawing a crowd of Lin family members who had come to work.

Next.

The crowd suddenly became agitated!

"Wow! Is that an extended version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom! "

"One... phantom image cost tens of millions! Damn, there are a total of twenty of them! "

"This is wild!" Could it be that some big shot has come to Chuyang City to check? That's impossible! Look! The cars seem to be driving towards our corporation!"

The crowd was in an uproar!

Countless eyes were filled with envy!

Creak!

One after another, the phantoms circled around the group's entrance. The scene was sensational!

Tap!

An old man wearing a Tang suit stepped out of a phantom car and walked towards the door with a solemn expression.

"Master! Please get in the car!"

The old man stopped in front of Mu Chen and respectfully bowed.
