Chapter 184 The Villain's Daughter 9
Spotlights poured down like a torrential downpour, the light reflected from the crystal chandeliers illuminating the entire Lin's Banquet Hall as bright as day. Outside the 360-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, the lights of the entire city seemed to bow down to this grand feast.
“Mr. Lin is here!”
Following the butler's restrained announcement, the chatter subsided like a tide. The guests' gestures toward the entrance seemed carefully choreographed, their smiles held at the precise angle that conveyed warmth without losing their status.
Lin Fujin slowly entered the venue with his daughter, Lin Ruan. He wore a low-key dark blue suit tonight, while the five-year-old Lin Ruan wore an ivory white puffy skirt. In her hair, she wore an antique hairpin that once belonged to a European princess—a "trinket" her father had casually bought at an auction.
"Thank you all for taking the time to attend my daughter's birthday party." Lin Fujin's voice was just the right amount of laziness, as if he was reciting an insignificant aside.
Several people holding champagne bottles exchanged glances, and the corner of one of them's mouth twitched slightly.
When did the mad dog Lin Fujin start pretending to be a cultured person?
"Let me introduce you all. The person standing next to me is my biological daughter, Lin Ruan, who is also the only heir to the Lin family."
Use whatever dirty tricks and deadly moves you have on her.
Lin Fujin thought.
Lin Ruan blinked her big eyes and looked at her father with a puzzled look, as if she was a little unsure about the question. Her voice was crisp and gentle, and she asked softly, "Dad, is today my birthday?"
Lin Fujin smiled, nodded affirmatively, and replied: "Yes, baby, from now on today is your birthday."
After hearing what her father said, Lin Ruan smiled. She jumped happily and then walked towards the center stage with light steps.
Lin Fujin suddenly had a bad feeling.
Lin Ruan's skirt fluttered gently as she walked, like the wings of a dancing butterfly, but without making any sound, as if the whole world was quiet for her birthday.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party." Lin Ruan's voice was as clear as a mountain stream. "Thank you all for your thoughtfully selected gifts. My father taught me that the value of a gift lies not in the price tag, but in..." She paused, "...the effort the giver puts in to overcome their own stingy instincts."
Lin Fujin: Okay, I learned some dirty talk and used it on him.
Thinking of this, he smiled and clapped his hands, praising her: "As expected of my daughter, she speaks so sweetly."
Does this... sound good?
The guests in the audience looked at each other, and considering the methods of this mad dog Lin Fujin, they said nothing.
After all, it’s a business war between others, but Lin Fujin’s war is a bomb.
You can earn money back if you lose it, and you can lose your dignity if you lose it, but losing your life is really gone.
"Dad, how did I perform? Is there a reward?"
After the banquet, Lin Ruan chased Lin Fujin and asked.
"Of course I have. As a reward, deduct this month's pocket money from yours, Uncle Fu! And confiscate Lin Ruan's phone!"
"Tsk, you're such a cheapskate."
"Uncle Fu, contact the school in Germany immediately and send her to school before next month!"
Look forward to it, kid, your three years in Germany will be the best ten of your six years.
When dad becomes the richest man in the world, he will definitely go to Germany to see you, invest in your school, and let you finish college and get a master's degree, and then a doctorate after completing your master's degree.
I can’t stop reading you!
With the help of the system's cheating, sixteen-year-old Lin Ruan successfully graduated from a high school in Germany and boarded a plane to study in Italy.
"Ruanruan, Lin Fujin was furious when he found out you didn't stay in Germany, and he blocked your card."
Lin Ruan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Stop it, stop it. He can't pay me for two years anyway, so I don't care about his tiny bit of money."
The reason for this age limit is that according to the development of the story, next year Lin Fujin will cause the heroine's family to go bankrupt because of stealing their business, and then the hero and the villain will start a back-and-forth of you steal my business and I kill your family.
When the city gate catches fire, we must not let innocent people be affected.
I chose Italy purely because the food was delicious. I stayed in Northern Europe for a long time in my previous life. The scenery was really beautiful, but the food was really bad. I only survived those years by relying on space supplies.
But it was impossible to really go to school. After leaving Lin Fujin, Lin Ruan took out the substitute puppet from the world of immortal cultivation from the space, installed the spirit stone on it and let it turn into his own appearance to go to school, while he focused on the tasks of the Godly Rich System.
You know what, this to-do list is quite long and it hasn’t been completed in ten years.
"Host location change detected, updated."
"Host, please acquire an Italian aristocratic castle with over 300 years of history within one month. Budget: 12,000,000. Reward: The castle comes with 500 hectares of vineyards, with an annual output value of over 2,000,000. Unlock the "Roman Ancient Aristocratic Network."
Lin Ruan's eyes lit up. This task sounded very targeted.
"Seventeen, help me find a 300-year-old castle with a vineyard that's worth million euros."
"Okay, Ruanruan, I've screened it and sent you the list."
Lin Ruan opened the list sent by the system, which detailed several castles that met her requirements. She browsed carefully, her eyes finally set on a building called "Castello di Montero." Located in Tuscany, Italy, the castle boasts over 350 years of history and boasts 550 hectares of vineyards. Its wines are renowned locally, and the price is right within her budget.
"This is it," Lin Ruan made a decisive decision. She quickly contacted the real estate agency provided by the system, expressed her interest in Montero Castle, and made an appointment to inspect it.
A few days later, Lin Ruan arrived at Montero Castle by private helicopter. The castle stands on a vast expanse of land, its ancient walls and towers exuding a rich historical atmosphere. Inside, the exquisite murals, ornate chandeliers, and vintage furniture all evoke a sense of past splendor.
The real estate agent enthusiastically introduced the castle's facilities and historical background. Lin Ruan listened as she walked around the castle. She arrived at the vineyard, where emerald green vines spread across a vast expanse of land, bunches of unripe grapes hanging from the branches, and the air was filled with a faint fruity fragrance.
“This vineyard has a considerable annual yield and is of high quality. The wine produced from it is very popular in the market,” the agent added without missing a beat.
Lin Ruan nodded with satisfaction. After a thorough inspection, she was certain this castle was exactly what she wanted. Returning to her temporary residence, Lin Ruan quickly began negotiations with the seller. Leveraging the business negotiation skills boost granted by the Super Rich System and her substantial financial resources, she successfully secured Montero Castle for €1200 million.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the task. The castle and 500 hectares of vineyards have officially belonged to the host, and the 'circle of ancient Roman nobles' has also been unlocked." The system's prompt sounded in Lin Ruan's mind.
"The next task will be refreshed in 24 days. Please check it carefully."
"Ruanruan, the bed is broken, go take me to buy a bed."
A cat ran towards Lin Ruan from the corner. This was the new popular creature skin in their system. It could be customized to look like various creatures, with flesh and blood, and was very expensive.
Today the system is wearing the Ragdoll Cat skin.
Lin Ruan: "No, Seventeen. You tear down my house whenever you wear this skin. How many sets of my furniture have you torn down this month?"
"Meow, meow~"
Who can resist a cat's cuteness?
Anyway, Lin Ruan can't do it.
Lin Ruan took the system and went directly to Gucci's private salon. On the way, he sent the message to his account director.
"Ms. Lin, welcome. Our designer Alessandro is already waiting for you on the second floor."
"Ah."
Alessandro, a gentleman with silver hair, hurried over to greet Lin Ruan upon seeing him come in. "Lin, welcome. I just happened to have a new design inspiration. Lin, you're such a lucky star."
Lin Ruan patted the ragdoll cat in her arms and said with a smile: "It is the lucky star."
Alessandro smiled, then unrolled a scroll of hand-drawn designs for cat beds in the 18th-century Florentine court.
“We’ve taken the Medici family’s pet palace as a reference, but this time—” Alessandro tapped the drawing with his fingertips, “we’ll use real Venetian velvet, Sicilian calfskin, and…”
"The cat bed is made of century-old Italian cherry wood, inlaid with 24K gold carvings, and filled with Swiss anti-allergenic down..."
As for the rest, there is no need for him to introduce it. Just like before, there is an 18K gold bell ball with exquisitely carved rubies inside, and the feathers are from the feather stick of the Amazon bird of paradise...
Lin Ruan swiped her card and scheduled a delivery time. By the time she walked out the door, it was getting dark.
"Host, please acquire 5% of the Versace Group's shares within one month, with a budget of 1.5 million euros. Mission Rewards: One-year use of the Versace family's former residence (Casa Versace); 1% of the profits from the Gucci-Versace joint pop-up store."
"It has been detected that the host is highly compatible with this mission, triggering a special reward - the protection of the fashion-loving godfather."
"Haha, my lucky star, Xiao Qishi, let's go home first. After I buy the shares required for the mission, I will take you to the family's original residence to stay for a year."
"Don't tell me, don't tell me, I've traveled through so many worlds, but I've never lived in one."
The system meowed twice and said in her mind, "Okay, okay."
