Although she was about to join a team soon, Lin Tianye still had a lot of things to handle. There was a New Year's Eve concert at the end of the year, the production of a new album... Even though she was entering the film and television industry, she still needed to manage the foundation she had previously established.

Lin Tianye arrived at the company early in the morning, and when he finally had a moment to relax, it was already three or four in the afternoon. Although he had been busy with various tasks, the few words Lin Baishui said to him last night seemed to have activated a brainwashing mode, continuously replaying in his mind.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang.

"Is it Brother Li? Have you arrived?" Lin Tianye anxiously asked after recognizing the contact person.

"Yup, we're here," Li Qing replied.

"What did my dad say exactly? What's the deal with Tao Rong? How did I suddenly end up with a younger brother?" Before Li Qing had a chance to catch her breath, Lin Tianye fired off a barrage of questions like a rapid-fire round of bullets.

Mr. Lin did not say much to me either. He only mentioned that he had been searching for his son for a long time and had finally found him, asking me to come back and make arrangements."

"Son?!" Lin Tianye was dumbfounded for a moment and then asked, "How come I've never heard that my father had another son?!"

"I have only been Mr. Lin's assistant for a short period of time, so I haven't heard about it. But in recent years, Mr. Lin has indeed been looking for someone, though he prefers not to mention it too much."

Lin Tianye sat on the sofa, feeling a seething anger that made his head throb and his fingers tremble incessantly. The issue of having a illegitimate child was now a confirmed fact.

This kid named Tao Rong is already nineteen years old.

Nineteen years ago, my mom was still alive!

Lin Tianye's mother, Zhong Qin, is a model wife and devoted mother. She comes from a scholarly family and has a considerable amount of knowledge herself.

According to Lin Baishui's own words, he didn't even know what Miss Zhong saw in him at the time. Every time they talked about this, Zhong Qin would cover her mouth and smile gently, her eyes full of happiness.

In the past, Lin Baishui was once poor and destitute. Clock Qin's parents doted on this little daughter excessively, and were adamantly opposed to her following this impoverished country boy. Clock Qin fled with Lin Baishui to A city, starting anew.

Without startup capital, Zhong Qin begged her friends one by one for loans; without a place to live, Zhong Qin saved money for rent and hadn't bought a new piece of clothing in two years. Once known as a young lady who never had to lift a finger, considered a precious gem by her family, she became an ordinary woman in the face of love. If you have nothing, it's okay, I'll give you everything I have.

After Zhong Qin's death, Lin Baishui cried all night in his study. Since then, no one dared to mention Zhong Qin's name in front of him.

Lin Tianye grew up listening to their stories and witnessing their love. He has always respected his mother's sacrifice and his father's deep affection.

So, when he found out that Mr. Lin was actually having an affair, and even had such a big illegitimate child, how could he not be furious?!

"Alan, are you still there?" called Li Qing on the phone.

"Oh, yeah, here." Lin Tianye pulled himself out of his emotions and answered.

"I have already brought Tao Rong back according to Mr. Lin's instructions, and he should be at home now. I have something urgent to attend to, so if you have time, please go home and take care of him." Li Qing paused for a moment, knowing what Lin Tianye was thinking, but unable to offer any help. He could only say, "Don't think too much about it, it's all from the previous generation, after all, he is your younger brother."

"Heh, little brother." Lin Tianye let out a chilling laugh.

Okay, okay. Then let me properly get to know this "little brother".

Tao Rong was standing in the hall of Lin Mansion.

Everything was in order, and the servants cleaned the house and placed his trinkets inside. The room was spacious and bright, giving off an indescribable sense of "home."

Li Qing just left. He told Tao Rong that Lin Tianye was on his way back, and Tao Rong unexpectedly felt a slight sense of anticipation in his heart.

What would Lin Ge's expression be when he sees me? Would he blame me for hiding and teasing him all along? Tao Rong thought of this and chuckled. It's not his fault, it's just that Lin Tianye has changed too much, making him unable to resist playing tricks on him.

Suddenly, a person rushed in vigorously and darted past Tao Rong in a gust of wind.

"Tianye ge." Tao Rong called out to him, a smile on his face.

Lin Tianye immediately stopped and looked at Tao Rong, who had an icy expression on his face.

Tao Rong noticed that Lin Tianye's expression was off, so he also put away his smile. "What's wrong?" Tao Rong asked.

Lin Tianye sneered, "You switched your tone pretty quickly. Did you recognize me a long time ago?"

"I found out on the day of the audition," Tao Rong honestly replied.

Lin Tianye made it clear that he didn't believe it. He condescendingly said, "I don't care who you are, and I don't want to know who your mother is. Whatever promises my dad made to you, that's on him. As long as I'm here, you can forget about stepping foot into this house! It's absolutely impossible!"

Seeing the disbelief on Tao Rong's face, Lin Tianye's anger subsided slightly. He continued, "I'm going out to have a drink with friends now. I warn you, when I come back, don't let me see you here bothering me." With that, he didn't care about Tao Rong's possible reaction, turned around, and headed towards the door.

Halfway through, Lin Tianye seemed to remember something and turned around saying, "Also, don't call me Tianye ge. It's disgusting."
