Chapter 170 Old Master Lin is making a fuss about wanting a great-grandson
Lin Ciyu frowned slightly and walked forward suspiciously.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"Please let me have the examination first."
He didn't know what the old man was going to do, but he subconsciously felt that the old man's gaze was strange for no reason.
Old Master Lin gestured for Lin Ciyu to sit down opposite him, and then spoke.
"Second son, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to settle down and start a family."
When Lin Ciyu heard this opening remark, he could hardly believe it.
The best thing about the Lin family is that Old Master Lin never pressured them to get married and have children.
But... what's wrong with this old man today?
Lin Ciyu spoke coldly, "Dad, my eldest brother hasn't even..."
There is a proper order of seniority; even if someone needs to urge someone, they should urge his older brother first.
As long as his older brother doesn't get married and have children, he's safe.
Lin Ciyu remained calm and unperturbed, pulling out his elder brother as a shield at this crucial moment.
Don't mention your older brother to me!
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ciyu was interrupted by Old Master Lin's angry voice.
Lin Ciyu's brow twitched, and his doubts deepened.
The eldest brother has always been the old man's proud heir, and there's never anything the old man is ever dissatisfied with.
Why today...
Could it be that my older brother's pressure to get married has upset the old man?
Lin Ciyu suppressed his doubts and said, "Dad, I'm quite busy with work. There's no need for me to hold that girl back, and she wouldn't want to anyway."
Lin Ciyu's words were merely a pretext.
The old man, however, became quite excited after hearing this.
He gestured to the butler, "Go and bring all the documents over."
Hearing this, Lin Ciyu's bad premonition grew stronger.
The butler kept his eyes down, his nose closed, his mouth shut, and his mind at ease, as he silently went to retrieve the information on the Chengdu heiresses that were constantly being sent to the Lin family's old residence.
These materials were sent to the Lin family by people who wanted to act as matchmakers, and there were also some bold young girls who expressed their interest.
At that time, none of Lin Cijin and the others had that intention, and the old man was too lazy to care, so it was just left at the Lin family's house.
Now that the old man is eager to have a granddaughter, he asked the housekeeper to bring out the relevant documents.
Looking at that thick stack of documents, Lin Ciyu felt a chill run down his spine.
The old man had already begun the introduction.
"These are all girls who have expressed their interest in you and are willing to accept your busy work schedule. You should take a good look at them."
The old man used to dismiss them with disdain, but now he observes them one by one.
I imagine that the child born to my second son will be just as cute as that little girl.
"Dad, did the other old men say something to you?"
Lin Ciyu felt a headache coming on.
After much thought, it seems that only other old men showing off their precious grandsons in front of his own could have provoked him to this extent...
Grandpa Lin closed his eyes and said, "Never mind what you think. In short, I don't care what you think, you have to let me hold my grandson this year."
To be honest, Old Master Lin wasn't really after the Qian family's grandson.
The boy is so naughty, he cries and makes a fuss all the time, he's such a handful.
But when he saw the little girl on the housekeeper's phone, Old Master Lin felt inexplicably itchy.
He even thought how wonderful it would be if this were his own granddaughter.
Lin Ciyu never expected that his old man, who had been serious for most of his life, would suddenly act like a rogue.
"Then, brother..."
"I told you not to mention your older brother to me!"
The old man's expression changed instantly, and he snorted coldly, "If you don't find a wife this year, don't come back."
Lin Ciyu, “…?”
This time, it seems the old man is serious?
Lin Ciyu's eyelashes trembled. "Dad, I can't find a girlfriend."
Grandpa Lin glanced at Lin Ciyu sideways, as if to say, "I'll just watch you keep making things up."
Lin Ciyu began to make things up.
"Actually, I have a daughter who is already three years old."
“Her mother passed away early, and I promised her that I would not find her a stepmother.”
When he heard Lin Ciyu say that he had a daughter, the old man almost spilled his teacup.
"What did you say?!"
Even the butler looked like his eyes were about to pop out.
Their second young master has a three-year-old daughter outside the marriage?!
"Second Young Master, is what you're saying true? How could you have someone outside..."
The housekeeper's first reaction was disbelief.
All these years, he has never heard of his second young master having a girlfriend.
He then told them that he already had a three-year-old daughter, but who would believe that?
Moreover, since the second young master already has a young lady, why does he never bring her back to the old house?
The butler was so confused and shocked that he even forgot about the fact that his master had just seen Sui Sui.
Lin Ciyu simply looked at them indifferently.
"I'm not lying to you, it's just that the child has always been raised elsewhere."
"Nonsense! It's just nonsense!"
Old Master Lin slammed his hand on the table, his chest heaving with anger.
"How can the bloodline of my Lin family be allowed to wander outside? You must bring that child back to me right now!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ciyu's eyelids twitched.
He originally thought that the old man was just acting on a whim, and that his purpose was simply to urge him to get married and have children.
So he just made up a child out of thin air to avoid being pressured to get married again while he was in China.
After that, he went abroad, far from the emperor's reach, and the old man couldn't control him anymore.
However, no one expected that the old man would be so concerned this time, and even wanted him to bring the child back directly.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, a hint of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes, and Lin Ciyu spoke again.
"She has been frail and sickly since childhood and has needed to stay in the hospital to recover."
"I'll bring her over once she's feeling better, what do you think?"
Lin Ciyu originally thought that after he said that, the old man would give up his idea.
But to everyone's surprise, the old man stood up at that moment.
"Which hospital is my granddaughter in now? It's okay if she can't come out; I can go to the hospital to see her."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ciyu's eyelids twitched.
Where is he supposed to conjure up a daughter living in a hospital?
Everything before was just an excuse for the old man!
Lin Ciyu had no doubt that if he said the child was abroad, the old man would excitedly go abroad to see him.
Thinking of this, Lin Ciyu quickly said, "Dad, she actually needs to get some fresh air out of the hospital. I'll bring her to the old house instead."
