Chapter 28: The Disabled Brother of the Wealthy Male Lead (4)

In fact, the Lin couple didn’t truly dislike or reject Lin Yiting. It was just that when Lin Yiting was born, they had just fully taken over the Lin family.

There were too many things to handle, and the affairs of a large family were extremely complex. They were so busy that they couldn’t spare much time to accompany Lin Yiting.

By the time they came to their senses, they found that Lin Yiting had already become what he was now. They were sad and regretful; they wanted to reintegrate into their son’s life.

However, by then it was too late. Lin Yiting no longer opened his heart to them. His temper had become irritable and violent, and any small irritation could set him off into a fury.

So when they saw Ying Zhao sitting peacefully on Lin Yiting’s lap and Lin Yiting’s expression showing unprecedented gentleness, the Lin couple was stunned.

However, as soon as Lin Yiting noticed there were more people in the room, his expression turned gloomy and fierce again.

Ying Zhao, naturally very sensitive to Lin Yiting’s emotions, patted his arm and jumped off his lap. He turned to the crowd that had burst into the room and asked somewhat confusedly,

“Why did you suddenly rush into this room? My brother and I were playing nicely.”

Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn’t believe it and said, “What, you’re saying you were playing nicely with my brother?”

Lin Ze’s gaze flicked between the two of them, swallowing nervously. After all, the person he feared most in this house was his older brother, Lin Yiting.

In Lin Ze’s memory, ever since he could remember, his older brother had always stayed in this room. He had once tried to go to this room to play with his brother, but as soon as he opened the door, he was met with his brother’s cold gaze, coldly telling him to get out.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Zhou could sit on his older brother’s lap and play safely. Lin Ze suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Ying Zhao.

The Lin family and the Ying family were old friends, and the Lin couple and Ying Zhou’s parents were true friends. Ying Zhou’s parents had naturally heard about Lin Yiting’s situation and knew that the Lin couple had always been worried about their disabled and bipolar son.

Seeing Ying Zhou able to get along so peacefully with Lin Yiting at this moment, Ying’s mother was both surprised and somewhat happy, as it showed that Lin Yiting’s emotions could still be controlled.

Lady Lin, with tears in her eyes, took a deep breath and approached Ying Zhao. She squatted down and, with a somewhat pleading tone, said,

“Xiao Zhou, can you come to our house often to play from now on? Could you play more with this big brother?”

Ying Zhao looked at the Lin couple and realized that they genuinely cared about Lin Yiting.

So, without hesitation, he nodded and said to them, “I will come here often to play. I really like it here, especially this brother. If Uncle and Auntie don’t mind, I hope to visit him frequently.”

Upon hearing Ying Zhao’s words, Lady Lin immediately nodded vigorously. “The Lin family is always and everywhere welcoming you. From now on, please consider this place your home!”

Then, Lady Lin turned and looked gratefully at Ying Zhou’s parents. The Ying family had always been scholarly, different from the Lin family’s business background, and their personalities were more straightforward.

So, at this moment, seeing their son able to help their friends, Ying Zhou’s parents were very happy. However, as it was getting late, Ying Zhao had to leave with his family.

But before leaving, he ran up to Lin Yiting, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

“Wife, I’m going back now. I’ll come see you tomorrow!”

Hearing Ying Zhao’s words, Lin Yiting couldn’t help but pull a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Lady Lin saw Lin Yiting’s smile and couldn’t hold back her tears.

When escorting Ying Zhao to the door, she couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Xiao Zhou, what exactly did you say to your brother to make him smile?”

Upon hearing Lady Lin’s question, Ying Zhao immediately put on an innocent expression and said:

“I told brother that I would come to play with him again tomorrow, and he was very happy.”

Upon hearing Ying Zhao’s words, Lady Lin nodded vigorously. She thought about how Lin Ze had also wanted to play with his brother in the past but never dared to enter the room again after being scolded.

But Ying Zhou was different. Though young, Ying Zhou had a persistent spirit, which must have touched Yiting.

From then on, Ying Zhao and Lin Yiting became the closest of friends. Ying Zhao would come to find Lin Yiting almost every day, sometimes even staying at the Lin family’s house.

The Lin couple even arranged a room next to Lin Yiting’s specifically for Ying Zhao, treating him as an honored guest. Under Ying Zhao’s influence, Lin Yiting gradually understood that the Lin couple genuinely cared about him.

However, he still couldn’t suppress the violence in his heart until one day, Ying Zhao told him about his dream. Ying Zhao said that he dreamed of becoming the best mechanical engineer.

He wanted to have a large research lab of his own, equipped with the best experimental tools and the finest equipment.

At that time, Ying Zhao was only eight years old, but the light in his eyes when he talked about mechanics made Lin Yiting’s heart tremble.

After two years of companionship, Lin Yiting couldn’t be without Ying Zhao. To him, Ying Zhao was the closest person, his angel. As long as he was with Ying Zhao, he felt peaceful and even slightly happy.

He wanted to help Ying Zhao achieve his dream, but in his current state, he couldn’t do anything for him. However, he had a strong desire in his heart to protect Xiao Zhou and ensure his lifelong happiness.

At that moment, Lin Yiting suddenly realized that at nineteen, he shouldn’t just waste away. He needed to work hard to become someone who could truly protect Xiao Zhou.

So, from that day on, he began to actively seek medical treatment and take medication, striving to suppress the violence in his heart and not show it in front of others.

In fact, Lin Yiting could be considered a high-IQ talent. Perhaps influenced by the fragments of the Vermilion Bird’s soul, he learned things very quickly.

He was especially sensitive to numbers and managed to catch up on all the courses he had missed in a short time, astonishing everyone. The Lin couple, upon discovering Lin Yiting’s talent, were overjoyed.

Noticing Lin Yiting’s keen interest in business, they entrusted some of the family’s businesses to him experimentally.

As a result, all the businesses managed by Lin Yiting saw a sharp increase in profits. Lin Yiting’s mental state also improved significantly, and to the outside world, he had become a gentle and polite young man.

He no longer had random outbursts and could interact smoothly with people. The Lin couple noticed this and felt even more grateful to Ying Zhao.

Time flew by, and Ying Zhao soon reached the age of sixteen. With his astonishing intelligence, he skipped grades and got admitted to the country’s best Saint Lin Academy, becoming a university student there.

He majored in mechanics, his favorite subject, and minored in biotechnology. By now, Lin Yiting was twenty-seven years old.

With his commercial talent, even in his crippled state, he finally gained acceptance from the entire Lin family. He had taken control of many family businesses, assisting the Lin couple in management, and had become a pillar of the Lin family.

After putting away his violent tendencies, his handsome appearance was noticed by everyone. The wheelchair-bound president, Lin Yiting, became well-known among the major families.

Everyone said that heaven was jealous of his talent. This talented and handsome young man had his legs taken away by fate, making him unable to walk.

But he still faced life with a smile, his demeanor gentle and polite. However, his decisive and ruthless business style, coupled with his keen investment insight, was contrary to his appearance, earning him much admiration.

He thus won everyone’s respect, and after appearing on the covers of several financial magazines, he became a dream figure for many young women.

Yet, at this moment, the national model of inspiration, wheelchair president Lin Yiting, was looking gloomily out the window.

He held a pink envelope in his hand, crumpling it into a ball with one forceful squeeze before throwing it hard into a nearby trash can.

After finally gaining real control over the Lin family, Lin Yiting felt he now had the ability to protect his most important Xiao Zhou.

So he arranged for many people to stay around Ying Zhao, who would constantly report back to him about Ying Zhao’s activities and protect his safety if necessary.

However, ever since Ying Zhao turned fifteen, his increasingly mature appearance had become more and more striking. His handsome looks, excellent family background, and extensive knowledge made many girls around him blush and feel excited.

As a result, it was only natural that Lin Yiting often received reports from his subordinates saying that today, Ying Zhao received another confession from someone, or today, Ying Zhao’s backpack and desk were stuffed with love letters from numerous girls.

Love letters could be removed on his orders, but he couldn’t stop those who confessed in person. After destroying another love letter, Lin Yiting’s expression was so dark it could drip water.

His Xiao Zhou was growing up, and those detestable women all wanted to covet his treasure. But how could those vulgar women be worthy of his Xiao Zhou!

Lin Yiting felt very depressed. He ruffled his hair in frustration, pulled out a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

Looking out at the scenery outside the window, he felt completely uninterested in dealing with the paperwork on his desk.

His precious Xiao Zhou was so excellent, so only the best person could be worthy of his Xiao Zhou!
