The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 126: Entitlement at its finest.

Lin Qianfan had been disinterested in the conversation until he heard about the caliber of people that Alix was now spending time with. The former chairman of TFK, the national painter!!!

That darn girl was moving around with some of Beijing's wealthiest and most known and influential individuals and yet she had not thought about using these connections to benefit the family.

Was she stupid?

"I know TFK, I have seen their adverts on television." Grandma Li said. "But what is the national painter? If she meets other rich people it's okay because it can help our Lin family but why is she wasting time with poor painters?"

It seemed to the great horror of everyone in the room that the elderly woman had no idea who Ren Xiao Dan was, which was very unusual. Even children of five knew who the national painter was.

Jing Hee sneered secretly but she tried hard not to expose herself. She had always looked down on this ignorant uneducated mother-in-law of hers.

It was one thing for her to be stupid in private but opening her mouth to expose her stupidity to others was really embarrassing.

Jing Hee was not the only one who thought so. Surprisingly, Lin Qianfan's inferiority complex usually peeped through the elegant background he faked for the public in such times.

At this very moment, his jaw was clenched and so were his hands.

His greatest desire was to ask his mother not to talk in public if she didn't know what she was talking about.

Lin Erya came to the elderly woman's rescue and said, "Mother, the national painter is not a poor painter. He is a rich man, from a family of scholars and two of his paintings are hanging in the national museum. It is said that one painting of his can sell for up to twenty million or more."

Grandma Lin who had been patting Billi's hands stilled her movement and turned her head to the side so that she could see Erya's face vividly.

"Really!" She said in shock.

Erya nodded and so did the others in the room.

Grandma Lin, without any hesitation whatsoever then said, "Qianfan, get in touch with Alix and tell her to get me a painting from that national painter then. When my friends visit me, I will have something to show off about besides pictures of Billi."

Lin Erya's mouth fell open as she internalized the surprise which at the same time was not, because this was her mother's character. But she wondered what her mother was thinking. Did she think Elder Ren Xiao Dan's paintings were handed out casually like roadside sweets?

Lin Qianfan remained silent, because he had no idea how to respond while Jing Hee happily decided to fan the flames.

"Mother, the owner of TFK jewelry is very rich. She should get you some nice jewels. What has she given you ever since she got married? Shouldn't she show you her finial piety at least?

Also, the current chairman of TFK has three sons. I checked online and one of them is single. If Alix can introduce Billi to the chairman of TFK and his grandson, won't our family have another happy event?"

Jing Hee was like a seductress weaving a dream and ensnaring the minds of her weak prey.

She put her arms around the shoulders of Grandma Lin and said, "Just imagine all the glory, respect and honor you will receive as the grandmother-in-law of the chairman's son.

Our entire family will be walking around decked out in the finest jewels. Wealth will be poured into the Lin family."

She massaged the shoulders of Grandma Lin as she went on to say, "Let's be honest, we will never reap any big benefits from the Zhang's. First of all, we changed the bride without telling them which offended them. They want nothing to do with us at all.

Secondly, Zhang Caishen is a cripple and there is no telling if he is man enough to have heirs. When we met him and Alix for dinner he said his older brother's son would inherit Zhang group. We should place our hopes in Billi. A good marriage for her will be more useful to the family than Alix's useless marriage."

Jing Hee looked at Qianfan from the side of her lowered eyes and a small smile formed on her lips. The elderly madam was easy to lead around by the nose and so was he.

As long as she pushed the right buttons, she could always get them to do as she pleased.

Grandma Lin of course fell into the trap first as she imagined the luxurious life she would get to live if the owners of a big company like TFK were her in-laws. In her mind, she pictured herself wearing glittering necklaces, the best jade bracelets and being the envy of all her friends.

Maybe her rich in-laws would buy her a villa in one of those fancy neighborhoods and an expensive car.

She smiled at Billi with dotting hopeful eyes as if Billi was the brightest star in the universe.

"You are right, Billi's mother. Our Billi is beautiful, talented, educated and well behaved. She would make the perfect daughter-in-law for such a refined family. In fact, they would be lucky to have a gem like her."

Billi, as always lowered her eyes and smiled shyly every time the elderly woman praised her. She managed to pull off her look of innocence which she had perfected over the years.

"Let me feed you some soup my dear. You are my lucky star, the grand daughter who was born to bless our Lin family."

Grandma Lin pointed the soup and Erya brought it over obediently.

Standing besides them quietly, Lin Qianfan was making calculations in his mind. His wife's idea was not bad__, not bad at all.

But there were some things he did not agree on with her, like placing all of his hopes on Billi's marriage. Zhang group, at the end of the day was bigger than TFK jewelry. This did not mean ties to TFK would not be useful. Why settle for one when he could have both?

Alix had blocked him and he could not reach her on phone however there were other ways to locate her. His devious mind had already come up with one such way.

He looked at Jing Hee and said, "We should pay our in-laws a visit tomorrow. We have not visited since Alix married into the Zhang family."

"Yes husband." she answered with a smile.

For now, she would put off the plan of crippling Alix until when the newly made plans had been accomplished.
