Around noon, Lin Shiling went directly to the Elephant Group.

I had just arrived at the office when the door was pushed open.

The only person in the entire group who would dare to barge in without knocking is her sister, Lin Xiangmin.

Lin Xiangmin has not been with the group for long, but he has already been promoted to the head of the strategic planning department, which is a senior management position in the group.

Nominally, she was Lin Shiling's subordinate, but everyone knew that she was the "Crown Princess" of the Elephant Group and would inherit the throne in the future!

As for Lim Shih-ling, she was at most a regent.

"You startled me! Couldn't you have knocked before coming in?"

Lin Shiling couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw that it was her younger sister.

Lin Xiangmin ignored all of that. She approached Lin Shiling with a smile and said in an interrogative tone:

"Hehe, unnie, where did you go last night?"

"Nowhere!"

"Keep pretending. I'm your good sister. Do you think you can fool me?"

Although you've changed your clothes, your perfume scent has become much fainter.

You have obvious dark circles under your eyes, and you're unusually late again today. All signs indicate that you had a date last night.

Considering your schedule yesterday, hehehe...

As he spoke, Lim Sang-min's smile deepened.

"Alright, stop guessing, it's boring!"

Seeing that her younger sister had guessed most of what had happened last night, Lin Shiling quickly interrupted.

"How come you're getting involved with Li Haorong again? I thought you'd changed partners these past two years!"

Seeing his sister's shy expression, Lin Xiangmin said with exasperation.

"Who are you going to find? With our status, do you think we can just pick any man we want?"

If she were just an ordinary chaebol's daughter, she could choose any kind of man she wanted, just like Hwang Ha-na!

She changes boyfriends more often than clothes, and it doesn't matter what kind of men or actors she's with.

But for chaebol daughters like Lim Se-ryung and Lim Sang-min, who are destined to inherit their companies, it's a completely different story.

After all, with Lee Boo-jin inheriting Samsung, there will only be more and more female heirs to family businesses on the Korean Peninsula.

Women like them, if they choose the wrong man, could very well end up being exploited and left with nothing!

Hearing his sister's words, Lin Xiangmin couldn't help but stroke his chin and say:

"That's true. Li Haorong is handsome, doesn't want your money, knows you inside and out, and judging from your expression, you seem quite satisfied with his skills. He truly is a perfect lover!"

"So, don't worry about what's going on here. Just focus on yourself!"

Your most urgent task is to find a husband and have a child!

Seeing that her sister had turned the tables on her, Lin Xiangmin immediately started to act cute:

"Oh dear, why are you criticizing me like this? I also want to find a handsome and capable man, but it's not that easy to find one."

As for those that Dad introduced me to, they were all too childish; I didn't even consider them!

"You can't just not get married, can you? These family businesses will eventually have to be handed over to your children!"

Lin Shiling and her younger sister have had a good relationship since childhood, and there is no drama of fighting for the family fortune like in other chaebol families.

Lin Shiling will give her two children some shares of the Elephant Group, but she does not intend to leave them the majority of the shares.

Although Lee Jae-yong lost the succession battle to Lee Boo-jin, he still holds a significant number of Samsung shares, which he will eventually pass on to his two children.

After all, Lee Ji-ho was groomed to be the next heir, and Lee Kun-hee made an agreement during their divorce to reduce the influence of Lim Se-ryung on the two children, stipulating that she should not be too close to them.

This is why, despite being a mother of two, she cannot visit them often.

She has no plans to remarry or have any more children. She intends to leave most of her assets to her sister's children after she passes away.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Xiangmin's face contorted into a bitter expression upon hearing this.

"I don't want to get married either. Why don't you just get married again? Practice makes perfect!"

"Come on, I'm already this old, why would I get married?"

"But childbirth is very painful, I really don't want to give birth..."

By the way, unnie, since you're not getting married, why don't you have a child with Lee Ho-young? You have experience anyway.

That way, the succession problem is solved, and I don't need to get married or have children. It's killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?

Seeing that Lin Xiangmin was giving out bad advice again, Lin Shiling quickly said:

"Go away, don't talk nonsense. What child would I have with him?"

"Why not?"

"The child I had with him was illegitimate. How can he inherit the family business if he can't even see the family name?"

"That is a problem!"

At this point, Lin Xiangmin suddenly changed his expression and leaned close to Lin Shiling, whispering:

"Unnie, I recently heard some news that Lee Boo-jin's son isn't actually Im Woo-jae, but Lee Ho-young!"

Li Dongxian is now 7 years old and has started primary school.

As he grew older, everyone who met Lee Dong-hyun felt that Lee Dong-hyun could never be Im Woo-jae's son!

Lee Dong-hyun is not only handsome and smart with good grades, but he is also very polite. You could say he is completely different from Im Woo-jae in every way!

If you say it's all thanks to Lee Boo-jin's genes, that's plausible.

But since the divorce, Im Woo-jae has gone abroad and never returned, not even to see his child once, which is unacceptable!

The only explanation is that this child is not Im Woo-jae's at all!

Over the years, the man who has appeared most often by Lee Boo-jin's side has been Lee Ho-young!

Although Li Haorong is her brother-in-law, considering Li Haorong's reputation, everyone felt that this was the most reasonable thing to do!

To be honest, Lee Boo-jin really considered everything back then, except for Lee Ho-young's reputation, which instead exposed her child's identity.

Of course, these are all just speculations, and these busybodies have no evidence.

They couldn't possibly get past the two men's layers of bodyguards to get Lee Ho-young and Lee Dong-hyun's NA for testing, could they?

And even if it's proven, so what?

This is at most a scandal involving a wealthy family; they haven't broken the law!

"So what if it's true? Lee Boo-jin had just divorced Im Woo-jae not long after giving birth to her son. She can say whatever she wants!"

"Lee Jae-yong and I have been divorced for five years. I can't possibly still use his identity, can I?"

Hearing his sister say this, Lin Xiangmin narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that his sister had agreed!

So, fearing that her sister might regret it, she quickly said, "Oh, that's easy. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."

"Then all we need to do is use that man's identity, say he's my boyfriend, and we don't even need to get married, isn't that enough?"

"Nonsense!"

Lin Xiangmin's words made Lin Shiling curse, but then she thought that if she really had a child with Li Haorong, it wouldn't be bad!

Thinking about this, Lin Shiling was actually a little tempted.

"Hey, unnie, why don't you think about it? I think this method is pretty reliable."

At least it's better than me finding a man, right?

"Who knows which of those men is sincere and which is just after my money?"

Upon hearing Lim Sang-min's words, Lim Se-ryung couldn't help but retort:

"I think you just don't want to get married and have children, right?"

No matter what terrible advice you give me, you definitely won't get past the hurdle of marriage and having children!

Seeing that his sister had seen through his little trick, Lin Xiangmin's smile froze instantly, and he quickly said:

"No, unnie, one of us can jump into the fire, why drag me along?"

"What are you saying? No matter what, you're going to get married eventually! You can't wait until you're 35, can you wait until you're 40?"

"I wish I could, but I just can't seem to meet the right person!"

You think the person Yin Xin married is alright? Even you like him, but how could someone like that possibly be devoted to me?

I don't have the confidence to make someone like that only like me, but I don't like those who aren't quite as good!

Seeing that her younger sister had brought up the topic of herself again, Lin Shiling stopped trying to persuade her.

Her younger sister's marriage has become a major problem. Her family members all advised her to lower her expectations, but she just wouldn't listen.

"Have your team prepare some information on Lotte Group's subsidiaries, the more detailed the better!"

"Lotte Group?"

Before Lim Sang-min could recover from the previous conversation, he suddenly heard his sister mention Lotte Group and couldn't help but ask a question.

"That's right, it's best to find some companies that are affiliated with our group."

"Unnie, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing. Just learning about it beforehand will help you grab anything you like when you see it."

Lin Xiangmin finally realized what was happening and asked in surprise, "You're going to target Lotte Group?"

Considering that his sister was with Li Haorong last night, and that Daesang Group simply didn't have the ability to take down Lotte Group, Lim Sang-min naturally thought of Li Haorong.

"Keep your voice down, remember to keep this a secret, don't tell anyone!"

"Of course I know, I'll go and tell them to prepare right away!"

As he spoke, Lin Xiangmin began to walk out, but halfway there he suddenly stopped and turned back, saying:

"Unnie, you've gained so many assets from this one deal, I suddenly feel it was pretty worth it! Why don't you go see him more often?"

"roll!"

Hearing her sister talking nonsense again, Lin Shiling angrily picked up a book from the table and threw it away, but Lin Xiangmin reacted very quickly and ran away before she could.

Watching the book slam against the door with a dull thud before falling to the ground, Lin Shiling couldn't help but smile.

She sat back down in her chair, her mind still replaying her sister's words. She couldn't help but think:

"Maybe having another child myself wouldn't be so bad?"
