The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 259



259. Birds of a Feather

“Miss Luo, there’s something you need to know.”

Lin Nuo raised his index finger and said, “You are here representing your Luo family. Go directly to the Lin mansion, show your invitation, and someone will attend to you. Following me is useless.”

“Why? Aren’t you the third young master of the Lin family?”

“First of all, you weren’t invited by me. Secondly, if you follow me, you’ll end up in situations like the one with that woman just now, getting implicated for no reason. I mean, what’s the point of coming here to be ridiculed?”

What’s the point? Of course, it’s for you.

But Luo Xiaoxue wouldn’t say that directly. She had to take it step by step; there had to be a process.

She was a bit puzzled:

“Why is it like this?”

“Some people elevate themselves by belittling others. There are quite a few of such people. I’m the one being belittled. Do you understand now?”

“I understand. They are jealous of your abilities and deliberately belittle you.”

“…You understand nothing. What abilities do I have for them to be jealous of? They belittle for fun, to highlight their own nobility, that’s all. Let me put it this way: they bully the weak. If I had abilities, they would be afraid of me, not so arrogant.”

“Mm…”

Luo Xiaoxue seemed to understand but not quite. Although she was born into royalty, she still didn’t understand people’s psychological states.

Sure enough, following Lin Daxia, she could learn things. This trip would be very rewarding.

Luo Xiaoxue insisted:

“Even so, I still want to go with you. In the Lin family, I only know you. You should fulfill your duty as a host and show me around.”

“Suit yourself. If you want to follow, then follow. But I won’t show you around.”

Show you around? This Lin mansion is huge, and it’s been renovated several times. How would I remember what’s where?

The key is, the Lin mansion is luxurious everywhere. What if I accidentally take you to the toilet while showing you the dining hall?

“Alright, you don’t have to show me around. Just do what you usually do, and I’ll follow behind.” Luo Xiaoxue squinted and smiled.

Lin Nuo didn’t bother to persuade her anymore. After all, the Lin mansion was quite large. If she followed and got lost, she would meet a servant, and the servant would take her to see Lin Yuan.

So, as a representative of your family, you will still be treated with courtesy by the Lin family.

The two reached a consensus on the surface and returned to the Lin family.

……

Official Yuetian arrived at the Lin family mansion under the escort of a large group of guards.

With such a grand occasion, the people of the Lin family mansion would surely come to warmly welcome him.

“Oh my, it’s Lord Yue, what wind has blown you here? Come, come, come, please sit inside.”

“The Lin family’s grand celebration is a joyous occasion. Thank you, Lord Lin, for inviting me. I love this festive atmosphere the most.”

Yuetian and Lin Fei, the two officials, chatted and laughed as they entered the main hall of the Lin family mansion together.

“Come, come, come, Lord Yue, with your status, I, Lin, should give you special treatment.”

Lin Fei led Yuetian to the VIP reception room, where there were fine tables and chairs, tea and snacks, and even maids to serve them meticulously. Such hospitality was indispensable for important figures.

Lin Fei and Yuetian exchanged a few polite greetings, sipped tea, and enjoyed the snacks. Then they exchanged glances, and Lin Fei waved to the servants:

“You all, leave us for now. I want to have a good chat with Lord Yue.”

“Yes, young master!”

The servants respectfully bowed and left the VIP room.

Only Lin Fei and Yuetian were left in the room. When they were alone, there was no need for formalities, and they went straight to the point.

“Lord Lin, you know, this grand celebration of the Lin family, I am here today to support you. It seems your siblings are trying to undermine your position.”

“Yes, I am very grateful that Lord Yue took the time to come.”

“I am not here just for the Lin family’s celebration. I want to take advantage of this grand event to expand our mutual stock.”

“Is it that matter, Lord Yue?” Lin Fei seemed to recall something.

“Yes, that matter. Today, all the dignitaries are here, and the city is bustling with wealthy merchants.

Taking advantage of this joyous day, you can issue the Lin family celebration commemorative coins and say they will appreciate in value in the future. I will find some people to buy them, and with our authority, we can surely make a big profit.”

Yuetian said, and Lin Fei nodded and smiled in agreement:

“Yes, I am ready. During the Lin family’s grand celebration, I will have people issue the commemorative coins and widely promote their future appreciation, to harvest their wealth.

Also, recently, there have been many natural and man-made disasters in the Puhan Kingdom. I plan to initiate a donation drive. At that time, Lord Yue, you will take the lead in donating, setting an example. Other dignitaries will have to donate some as well. As for the donation funds, you and I will share them.”

“Very good, very good.”

Yuetian laughed, having found a like-minded partner. Cooperating with Lin Fei was indeed easy.

Lin Fei continued:

“At that time, Lord Yue, you can launder the money through the casino.”

“By the way, speaking of the casino, something very infuriating happened recently.”

Yuetian immediately became angry, “One of my casinos was smashed.”

“Smashed? Who smashed it? I’ve been busy lately and didn’t know.”

“I just found out too. It was your third brother, Lin Nuo.”

“Lin Nuo?”

Lin Fei was suddenly surprised, “How dare he smash it? Isn’t there the Dark Alliance’s influence?”

“He brought Qin Shili over, and it was mostly Qin Shili who acted. However, according to the survivors at the scene, he used tricks to break the gambling game, which then caused the riot.”

“I didn’t expect him to be so bold.”

Lin Fei was also very angry about this. The casino was ruined, and the efficiency of money laundering and making money would be greatly reduced in the future.

Lin Fei said:

“Lord Yue, when Lin Nuo first came, he even beat up my guards. It seems he is a villain who has gained power. Qin Shili is his second senior sister, so he acts recklessly. We must deal with him.”

“He seems to be a disciple of the Xuan Yun Sect. Cultivators value their reputation. We can take action from this point. The casino was destroyed, and many gamblers died. I asked my friend, Xu Xun, to talk to him and deliberately stir up trouble, saying he is a compulsive gambler and a murderer.”

Yue Tian said, Xu Xun was also an official who came to attend the banquet, but with a lower position. At that time, he specifically went to the casino to investigate the situation. They couldn’t come forward, so they let Xu Xun come forward to slander Lin Nuo and tarnish his reputation.

There were so many people at the Lin family’s grand celebration, someone would believe it, and then it would spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, spreading directly.

“I have another way, which is to deliberately place the Lin family’s treasure, the Mist Spirit Bracelet, in his room, and then slander him. His reputation in the Lin family is already bad, and this will make it worse.”

Lin Fei suggested, and Yue Tian agreed.

“In short, we send people to take action, and we just watch the show. He has no evidence and can’t suspect us.”

Lin Fei smiled, poured two glasses of wine, and raised his glass, “Come, Lord Yue, let’s have a drink.”
