Chapter 87: I Will Become Rich On My Own

Lin Haisheng and his wife had never thought that their family would have anything to do with the richest man in S City.

But now, the daughter of the owner of Yu Corporation was sitting at their dining table and she was deeply in love with their precious son.

That was not a bad thing, but it made Lin Haisheng and his wife very worried.

The reason was, they were not compatible in terms of background!

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Lin changed the topic.

She smiled and picked up a slice of fish, which she then placed in Yu Jinmo’s bowl. She said, “We rarely have sea bass at home. I don’t know if this is to your liking. Give it a try.”

Her attitude was still gentle and loving as if there was no difference from before.

Yu Jinmo did not sense anything unusual. She smiled and ate the fish, praising Mrs. Lin’s cooking skills.

However, Lin Bai could keenly sense that there was a subtle difference in the way his parents treated Yu Jinmo.

Although they still maintained a warm and hospitable attitude, meticulous and considerate, there was a subtle distance between them and before.

Others might not be able to sense this subtle change, but Lin Bai knew his parents too well. He could not pretend not to notice it.

After the meal was over and Yu Jinmo was sent away, Lin Haisheng and his wife revealed their worries again.

“Lin Bai, Mom and Dad would like to talk to you,” Lin Haisheng said in a serious and solemn tone.

Lin Bai nodded and agreed.

He was also looking for an opportunity to have a good talk with his parents.

“Yu Jinmo is a pretty good girl.”

Lin Haisheng first expressed his good impression of Yu Jinmo, and then suddenly changed the topic.

“But the two of you are not suitable for each other. She is the only heir of the Yu family. If nothing goes wrong, everything will belong to her in the future.”

“What are the conditions of our family? We are not good enough for her!”

“Lin Bai, I know that the two of you really like each other, but there are many things that can not be justified just by feelings.”

“You are still young. Perhaps you feel that it is an old feudal concept for a couple to be of equal status but I have to tell you that no matter what era it is, the two of you must not be too different from each other in all aspects if you want to be together for a long time. Otherwise, there will be no good outcome.”

“We’re just an ordinary family. We can’t afford to become a union with a family like hers. Both of you are still students so the gap between you two may not be obvious now but when you step into society in the future, the gap will be even wider!”

“Xiao Bai, we have have never interfered with your life in the past, but you have to listen to us on this matter. Take advantage of the fact that you haven’t been together for long and quickly break up.”

Lin Bai had already expected his parents to feel that there was a big gap between their families, and they were worried about the relationship between him and Yu Jinmo.

However, he did not expect his father to ask him to break up with Yu Jinmo so directly.

Lin Bai refused without thinking.

“Dad, I’m sorry. I can’t listen to you on this matter. I can understand your concerns. I also know that it’s important to be of the same social status, but this isn’t a reason to give up on true love. I like her, so naturally I’ll try my best to be worthy of her.”

“Maybe our statuses may not be compatible yet, but they will definitely be in the future.”

“Oh no, actually, I’ll be even better than her I’m a man, so of course, I have to be stronger than my own woman.”

Lin Haisheng didn’t expect that Lin Bai could actually say such a thing.

He felt that his son was young, impetuous, and way too ignorant of reality.

However, looking at Lin Bai’s confident and confident appearance, as well as the aura that he inadvertently emitted.

Lin Haisheng also felt that his son seemed to no longer be the little boy that he remembered.

He had quietly grown up and shed his youth, revealing the sharpness and shrewdness of a man.

At that moment, Lin Haisheng seemed to have seen himself when he was young.

He was high-spirited and fearless.

He had the same determination and courage.

He had also fought hard.

So, he understood Lin Bai’s state of mind at the moment.

Those words that would be a wet blanket all stopped at his throat.

Even if his previous efforts and hard work had not achieved the desired result.

He still felt that he should not stop his son.

This kind of solitary, brave, and zealous struggle should only happen once in his life. It would not be a waste of his youth.

“You can do it.”

Lin Haisheng said.

Mrs. Lin did not expect Lin Haisheng to actually cheer for Lin Bai.

She frowned and nudged Lin Haisheng with her elbow. Then, she turned her head and said to Lin Bai, “Son, it’s good that you have ambition, but the gap between our family and the Yu family is really too big. You can’t catch up with them just by relying on your zeal.”

“There are many people who start their own businesses. How many of them can actually succeed in the end? How many of them can build a business on the scale of the Yu Corporation?”

“I don’t want to pour cold water on you. It’s just that with our family’s conditions, we can’t even give you the start-up capital. How can you start your own business?”

“Listen to my advice. Don’t be stubborn. Focus on your studies. In the future, when you graduate, find a good job and work hard. Then, find a girl of equal status and live a stable life…”

Lin Bai interrupted his mother with a smile.

He said, “Mom, don’t worry. I will earn the start-up capital myself. I will fight for everything I want. In the end, regardless of whether I succeed or fail, I can accept the result, but I can’t give up without trying. The stable, step-by-step life you mentioned is great, but that is not what I want.”

Mrs. Lin wanted to continue discouraging Lin Bai and make him accept reality, but Lin Haisheng stopped her.

“Our son has already grown up. He has his own ideas and choices. Let him go and make his own way.”

Mrs. Lin sighed. How could she not hope for her son to be successful?

However, as a mother, she was more worried that her precious son would fail and get hurt. She would rather he give up on dreaming about those glory days.

She sighed and said, “It’s all your father’s and my fault for not being able to help you. We don’t have enough money.”

Lin Bai smiled and said, “You’ve already given me enough. You’ve never mistreated me since I was young, not to mention the money you invested in my education.”

“So, don’t worry or feel that you’ve mistreated me just because I have a girlfriend who comes from a wealthy family, because… I will rely on myself to become rich.”

Lin Bai’s last sentence was like a heavy hammer that struck the hearts of Lin Haisheng and his wife.

All the worries and anxieties from before were shattered by this sentence, and they no longer existed.

What replaced them was only one thought.

Their son had really grown up.

He is now a mature, confident, brave, and determined adult.

Mrs. Lin was finally no longer worried or opposed. Instead, just like Lin Haisheng, she solemnly said to Lin Bai, “Go, Son!”
