Capítulo 1580: Chapter 1614: Lin Family

Beiming Yu didn’t pretend to be pretentious. She directly grabbed the cocktail and downed it in one go before placing it back on the table. Lin Zifeng continued to pour her another drink.

“Hey, kid, say what you’ve got to say. Are you trying to get me drunk by pouring me drinks like this?” Beiming Yu glanced at him disdainfully.

“How could that be? How could just these two drinks get the head of the Beiming Family drunk?” Lin Zifeng smiled, continuing to pour her another glass.

“Kid, don’t talk about family heads or anything. Just call me Beiming Yu. After all, I’m not much older than you,” Beiming Yu said casually while drinking.

Pfft… Lin Zifeng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He knew Beiming Yu’s personality was unusual. She particularly disliked being called old. Even in front of her daughter, she’d insist on being called ‘big sister’…

“Uh, okay, Beiming Sis,” Lin Zifeng sweated profusely.

“Alright, to cut a long story short, I’m planning to return to Yanjing today. I’ve been in Zhonghai City for a few days and it’s getting boring. Everything’s fine here, just too noisy. I still prefer the ancient and tranquil vibe of Yanjing,” Beiming Yu said without a care, swirling her drink.

“Okay, since Beiming Sis is so straightforward, I’ll be direct too. I’m planning to enter Yanjing in the next couple of days, and I hope the Beiming Family can assist me.”

“How can we help?” Beiming Yu asked.

“Help us stabilize our Huayu Group,” Lin Zifeng said mysteriously.

“…” Beiming Yu didn’t understand what he meant by that.

“We also have some group assets in Yanjing City, but they’re all small-scale. So this time, part of our expansion into Yanjing is to uphold the face of the Mu Family. To put it bluntly, we’re under the banner of revitalizing the Mu Family, and then having the Beiming Family stand out to cooperate with the Mu Family. This doesn’t conflict with us at South Heavenly Gate. From an outsider’s perspective, the Mu Family was already a centuries-old family in Yanjing, and it makes perfect sense for the Beiming Family to assist in their revival. In contrast, if we at South Heavenly Gate enter Yanjing directly, it might not be convincing since we lack the historical foundation there, and many people might oppose it. But with the Mu Family, it’s a different story.”

“You mean you want the Beiming Family to come forward and help revive the Mu Family?”

“That’s right. That’s exactly what I mean. The Mu Family has some roots in Yanjing, and saying they’re returning to Yanjing is both reasonable and aligns with the masses. But if South Heavenly Gate were to enter Yanjing, it would seem abrupt.” Lin Zifeng said nonchalantly.

He had thought over the plan to enter Yanjing many times, and only this approach seemed most suitable for the current development of South Heavenly Gate.

“Alright, I agree with you. But what benefits does the Beiming Family get from this?” Beiming Yu licked her alluring, fiery red lips, wondering how helping to revive the Mu Family would make any sense without definite benefits.

“Haha… Beiming Sis, I think this benefit should be mutual, right?” Lin Zifeng laughed.

“Mutual? How is it mutual? The Beiming Family is doing you such a big favor; do you know how many families we’d offend?” Beiming Yu raised an eyebrow and put down her glass heavily. She wasn’t pleased with what Lin Zifeng said.

Lin Zifeng shrugged indifferently, took a sip of his drink, and casually said while pouring another, “If our South Heavenly Gate secures a favorable position in Yanjing, it should be a restraint for the other major families. From what I understand, ever since the Four Great Families in Yanjing were wiped out, apart from the mysterious Lin Family, the other three families have been very close. Although others don’t know their plans, how could we not know? If we can’t successfully secure a position in Yanjing, I fear the three families will pose an increasing threat to the Beiming Family.

Of course, I know the Beiming Family has a deep foundation and doesn’t really need to worry about them, but who knows what terrible and reckless actions those shameless guys might take? It could be quite a blow to the Beiming Family, which has only been established for a few decades.”

“Are you analyzing this with me?” Beiming Yu asked unpleasantly.

“Interpretation varies among individuals. If that’s how you interpret it, then it is. If not, then it isn’t.” Lin Zifeng shrugged, pouring her another drink.

Initially, Beiming Yu held the dominant position, but now it was taken by the young man in front of her, leaving her somewhat displeased.

But as he just stated, the familial relations in Yanjing are complex. Without a stronger ally, it does pose some risk to her family.

Beiming Yu didn’t really take those families seriously, but she did have some apprehensions about the mysterious Lin Family.

This Lin Family had supposedly existed for a thousand years. Throughout the millennia, one would only hear of descendants, yet nobody had truly seen them, so it was uncertain. However, Beiming Yu suspected that the Lin Family might not really exist at all.

Moreover, Beiming Yu had a nagging thought: maybe there’s an inexplicable connection between the Lin Family and Lin Zifeng. If aligning with Lin Zifeng could prevent the mysterious Lin Family from intervening in family disputes, it would be beneficial—not out of fear, but to avoid expanding the incidents too much. After all, these peaceful days are quite enjoyable, aren’t they?

“Hahaha… Looks like you’ve calculated everything, haven’t you?”

Beiming Yu laughed heartily, staring at him with her sharp gaze.

“Beiming Sis, it’s just a cooperative relationship between our two sides. Naturally, I also need to protect South Heavenly Gate’s advantage.” Lin Zifeng laughed bitterly. He wasn’t entirely confident working with the Beiming Family.

Who knew if Beiming Yu would backstab him, but at this point, he had no time to hesitate.

“I can agree to your request, but you must also agree to one of mine. I don’t want the Beiming Family to exert so much effort and end up with nothing but lots of animosity.”

“As long as it’s something I, Lin Zifeng, can do, I’ll naturally help you.” Lin Zifeng nodded solemnly.

“Alright! I want fifty percent of Huayu Group’s shares in Yanjing! I think that’s not too much to ask, right?” Beiming Yu said with a cunning smile, making Lin Zifeng nearly fall off the table…

“What ~” Lin Zifeng was taken aback. “Fifty percent of the shares.”

“Yes. This request is not excessive, is it? If the Beiming Family helps you at the risk of attracting animosity, we deserve some benefits, right? Without benefits, we wouldn’t gain anything and would be criticized.” Beiming Yu smiled, flicking her bangs playfully. “Also, you’re aware of my precious daughter. Such a spendthrift! If her mother doesn’t know how to make money, how miserable would her life be? Sigh, I know that fifty percent is quite a lot, but the Beiming Family’s current situation isn’t great either. This decision is purely for the family’s sake, and as a mother, I have no choice but to be shameless…”

Damn, your face is way too thick, asking for fifty percent of the shares from the get-go!
