The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 169 - 0169: Billionaire

Chapter 169: Chapter 0169: Billionaire

Lin Shanshan was well aware of what was going on and teased on purpose, "Sister, do you even need to ask? Grandpa is surely arranging a marriage for you!"

"Get lost!"

Lin Yingying gave her a glaring look, her cheeks blushing red.

Su Yiyi asked curiously, "Sister Shanshan, isn’t it the man who should propose to the woman?"

Lin Shanshan looked at Long Fei, then at her sister, and giggled, "You don’t understand, my sister can’t get married off, so she has to be the one to propose."

Lin Shanshan...

Lin Yingying’s eyes were blazing with anger; her sister was really going to be the death of her.

Long Fei was snickering inside, finding their sisterly banter quite amusing.

After taking a sip of soup, Lin Yingying timidly asked Elder Master Lin, "Grandpa, can this marriage be called off? I’ve never even met the guy, how can there be any feelings?"

Elder Master Lin furrowed his brows and said sternly, "Feelings can develop over time. Didn’t I marry your grandma withouthaving met her before? In my life, I’ve always valued integrity. Where would my face go if we call off the engagement?"

Lin Yingying sulked, staying quiet.

Long Fei admired Elder Master Lin’s perspective; these days, everyone wanted their daughters or granddaughters to marry into wealthy families.

Who else would be like Elder Master Lin, not looking down on someone just because they were from the village?

After dinner, everyone went back to sit on the sofas in the living room.

Elder Master Lin looked at Lin Yingying and Lin Shanshan and said, "Both of you, speak up if you have something to say! I’m not senile yet; I know why you came back."

Lin Shanshan gave a thumbs-up, flattering him, "Grandpa, you’re so wise. I’ll talk about my stuff first! Long Fei and I want to start a company, and we’re lacking some investment funds. Therefore, we hope you can sponsor us."

"You’re quite direct!"

Elder Master Lin took a sip from his tea bowl and asked her, "What kind of company do you want to start?"

Lin Shanshan quickly took out a business plan from her bag and handed it to her grandfather.

The old man flipped through it and frowned, saying, "Didi Bodyguard? This idea is quite interesting!"

Lin Shanshan chuckled and boasted to the old man, "Grandpa, our company is just short on investment. Sister is too rigid; she only knows how to maintain a business, not create one. Whether the Lin Family can innovate and expand depends entirely on me!"

Lin Yingying shot her a look and morosely bit into an apple.

Elder Master Lin put the business plan down and asked Lin Yingying, "Yingying, do you know about your sister’s project?"

Lin Yingying nodded, "Yes, but I don’t favor it. She’s just a freshman; shouldn’t she focus on her studies instead of messing around?"

Lin Shanshan retorted, "So what if I’m a freshman? When Grandpa was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was already traveling all over the place with his pack!"

"You’re comparing yourself to Grandpa? Can the startup environment now be the same as it was back then? Do you have any idea how much it costs to develop an app and then promote it?"

Lin Yingying lectured her.

Pouting, Lin Shanshan cuddled up to Elder Master Lin and put on a coquettish act, "Grandpa, look at sister. She’s just biased against me. She can’t even manage her own company properly and yet has the cheek to look down on someone else’s ideas!"

Long Fei was inwardly clicking his tongue, thinking this girl was too bold, rubbing salt into Lin Yingying’s wounds.

Lin Yingying, truly infuriated, confirmed adamantly, "Lin Shanshan, let me tell you, our company won’t invest a dime in your project, so stop dreaming!"

"Alright, why start quarreling as soon as you see each other?"

Elder Master Lin hurriedly calmed them down and turned to Lin Shanshan, "Your sister is the CEO now. If she won’t invest in you, there’s not much Grandpa can do. However, I do have someprivate savings. Here, take it as your startup fund."

Lin Shanshan’s eyes widened, "How much?"

Elder Master Lin said with a smile, "Two million, consider it a love fund from me."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Lin Shanshan hugged him excitedly and kissed him, then turned and rolled her eyes at Lin Yingying.

Lin Yingying said with a hint of frustration, "Grandpa, just go on spoiling her!"

She finally understood that Lin Shanshan had brought Long Fei back to trick money out of them.

Elder Master Lin didn’t mind and had someone fetch a check, immediately filling one out for Lin Shanshan.

Lin Shanshan took the check, visibly thrilled, and even provocatively wrinkled her nose at Lin Yingying.

Lin Yingying gritted her teeth in anger, really wanting to expose her and Long Fei.

But as the elder was in a good mood, she held her tongue.

After dealing with Lin Shanshan’s matter, Elder Master Lin turned and asked Lin Yingying, "Yingying, is there something you want to say?"

Lin Yingying glanced at the three of Lin Shanshan and didn’t want to talk in front of them.

Elder Master Lin said, "These kids aren’t outsiders. Just speak up."

Lin Yingying took a breath and asked him, "Grandpa, tell me the truth. The 20% of shares you sent away back then, who did you give them to?"

Elder Master Lin frowned and asked, "Why do you ask?"

Lin Yingying said with a pained expression, "Grandpa, you don’t know how messy the company is right now. Responsibility and authority are unclear, everything is sluggish. I want to reform swiftly, but those old shareholders simply don’t give me the chance. So, I need to find that 20% of shares to have the strength to reorganize the company!"

Lin Shanshan laughed tauntingly, "Grandpa, see, I told you! Sister can’t even manage her own company and blames this and that!"

"Lin Shanshan, if you keep talking, I will kick you out!"

Lin Yingying shouted out in anger.

Lin Shanshan sipped her tea, deliberately infuriating her by saying, "This is Grandpa’s house, not yours. What right do you have to kick me out?"

Lin Yingying took a deep breath, at a loss for words.

Long Fei sipped his tea, and Su Yiyi ate grapes.

They acted as if nothing was going on, minding their own business amidst the chaos.

Elder Master Lin looked at his granddaughter and said, "In fact, I do know a bit about the company’s situation and understand your difficulties. Since you’re asking, I won’t hide it from you. There were two families who went with grandpa to a place in search of treasure and as a reward, grandpa gave each family 10% of the shares. One of those families is your arranged marriage partner, the Long Family. It’s better not to mention the other family."

He seemed to recall something sorrowful, his face filled with sadness.

Long Fei spat out his tea in shock.

Lin Shanshan stared wide-eyed with excitement, hurrying to hand him a tissue to wipe his mouth, and asked the elder, "Grandpa, are you saying you gave the Long Family 10% of the shares?"

"Correct!"

Elder Master Lin nodded, addressing Lin Yingying, "Actually, the reason grandpa wants you to marry is to help you better control the company. With your husband’s 10% of the shares, you’ll have more weight in the company!"

"How can this be?"

Lin Yingying was somewhat unable to accept it, never expecting Elder Master Lin to have set a trap for her here!

She had no choice but to accept the marriage now.

Lin Shanshan picked up her phone and after flipping through it exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, our company’s stock price has risen to 138 yuan. 10% of the shares is worth more than ten billion yuan!"

Long Fei’s mind buzzed, never having heard his grandfather mention this.

Dammit, to have been poor for so many years.

Who knew, he was born a multimillionaire!
