Chapter 256: Chapter 251: The Male Protagonist with X-ray Vision

Lin Ying was not surprised at all when Ling Batian knocked on her door in the middle of the night; she had seen the evil thoughts he harbored towards her during the day.

As someone who grew up in a wealthy family and possessed exceptional abilities herself, Lin Ying had countless men pursuing her from a young age, and she had long developed a skill for assessing men.

In her eyes, although Ling Batian was attractive and had a good physique, she was also very aware that he was neither a gentleman nor particularly intelligent. On the contrary, his expressions were overt, and he was inherently arrogant and conceited—a type of person Lin Ying would normally not even glance at.

Although she is the Eldest Lady of the Lin Family, she is not the sole heir to Lin’s Jewelry. Even though her abilities far surpass those of her younger brother, her father still preferred to hand over the company to him.

Why is that? Lin Ying was extremely unwilling to accept this, but fortunately, she met Ling Batian the year her brother was to join the company. Even if he coveted her body, as long as he could help her take control of the company, she was willing to involve herself with him.

However, after welcoming Ling Batian in, Lin Ying realized that besides his accuracy in appraising stones, he also had other merits. Ling Batian was not her first man, but he was the most satisfying one.

Throughout the latter part of the night, Lin Ying was submerged under Ling Batian, and every time she reached the peak of excitement, she thought that even without his secret skills, as a bed partner, he was very adequate.

Fortunately, the hotel was well soundproofed, otherwise, Lin Ying’s subordinates would have heard their General Manager screaming in ecstasy all night long. However, the next morning, Lin Ying’s assistant coincidentally saw Ling Batian, disheveled, leaving her room.

His eyes flickered, and without revealing this secret, he discreetly sent a message to the person on the other end of the phone, hinting at the relationship between Ling Batian and Lin Ying, and also about Ling Batian’s performance in stone cutting the day before.

"Young Master Lin, coming out to play but not focusing, what are you looking at?" Ye Qiu teasingly looked at Lin Yuan, his mind whirring.

Since Ling Batian started stone gambling, Ye Qiu had been intentionally and unintentionally connecting with Lin Yuan, who, like him, was merely a pawn—a pawn of Ling Batian, the man of Lin Ying’s sister.

His pawn status was because he and Ling Batian’s woman were vying for the family assets. Lin Ying had the support of Ling Batian’s external tools, so how could Lin Yuan, her younger brother, compete? Ultimately, designed by Ling Batian, he lost a significant amount of liquid assets, which led to their father’s complete disappointment and subsequent stroke, allowing Ling Batian and Lin Ying to take over Lin’s Jewelry.

"Doesn’t Young Master Lin’s family deal in jewelry? I heard that in recent days, a remarkable person appeared at the raw stone market in Southern Province. He has cut open jades that have massively appreciated in value, even earning the title of Jade Emperor. I wonder if Young Master Lin has heard of it?" Ye Qiu deliberately brought up the topic, watching Lin Yuan’s reaction.

"Oh, I forgot, Young Master Lin’s sister is also purchasing raw stones in Southern Province, she must have heard about it already!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan’s face showed some discomfort. Even those who are not in the jewelry business know about the news from Southern Province, yet he, the Eldest Young Master of the Lin Family, hadn’t received any news at all. If he hadn’t placed his own people next to his sister, he would be in the dark even now...

Lin Yuan fell into deep thought, was his sister that afraid of him taking over the family business? Why would she deliberately conceal this news from him?

And he had just learned that to gain the trust of the so-called Jade Emperor, his sister had even offered herself. Why would she degrade herself to that extent? And why would she submit herself to such a man?

Could it be that he will mistreat her after taking over the family business? Why is she always so guarded against him?

Lin Yuan couldn’t quite understand. Although impulsive, he’s not stupid. He’s kept a low profile for so many years just to ensure his sister plays a crucial role in the company. Hasn’t he done enough?

It was their father who decided to hand over the company to him, not something he asked for. Originally, Lin Yuan thought it made no difference whether he or his sister took over the company; after all, they are both from the Lin Family, the closest brother and sister, aren’t they?

But now, it seems his original thought was wrong. His sister has a utilitarian heart and capability, but her selfishness is also very heavy, and on this matter, Lin Yuan feels his sister is being foolish. Using that Ling Batian might be fine, but why should she degrade herself?

Can she really manage the company well in this way? Lin Yuan is very skeptical, even feeling that one day his sister will be completely deceived by that Ling Batian.

"Speaking of which, I do have some history with that Ling Batian," Ye Qiu deliberately mentioned in front of Lin Yuan.

"Oh? How so?" Indeed, Lin Yuan became interested.

"Ling Batian once had an ex-girlfriend named Zhao Xiaoman. Recently, she desperately followed me after breaking up with him, but a month ago, I don’t know what happened, Zhao Xiaoman reconciled with Ling Batian, making me look like the villain who split them up."

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan clenched the blanket, feeling upset for his foolish sister.

"It seems Ling Batian is quite impressive. I even saw him in my family’s hotel with the campus beauty from the university next door—truly favored with women!"

What would a single man and woman do in a hotel? Lin Yuan didn’t need to think to know why, and his disgust for the man called Ling Batian grew on the spot.

"But he does have some skills. Before heading to Southern Province, he cut some raw stones in a local store, and I was there that day. Although I didn’t witness the cutting process, I later heard that every stone he touched greatly increased in value, no wonder he was so confident heading to Southern Province. His one move has surpassed our family’s annual total profits, no wonder so many girls like him."

Ye Qiu continued to stir the pot. In the past, both of them were cannon fodder, sequentially defeated by Ling Batian. Would it not be better to form an alliance early in this life? At least they shouldn’t fall into Ling Batian’s trap as they had in the past.

"Even some masters dare not claim to increase the value of every stone they cut; does Ling Batian really have such good luck?" Lin Yuan deeply doubted.

"This is precisely what I find odd. Anyway, he gives me an eerie feeling. We better steer clear of him, especially in dealings with gambling on stones. Who knows, maybe he truly has an extraordinary talent?" Ye Qiu indirectly warned Lin Yuan, hoping he wouldn’t gamble on stones with Ling Batian as he had done in their previous life – gambling stones is a small matter, but gambling their father into the hospital and losing their family business was a big issue.

"You have a point, this Ling Batian truly can’t be understood from an ordinary person’s perspective." Lin Yuan was already considering it in his heart. If his sister was only using Ling Batian’s stone-gambling abilities, that might be okay. But if she really falls for him, then he’d have to start planning from scratch.
