"Why's it so quiet? Did I ask you to come here and play dumb? I asked you to come up with solutions!" Seeing her subordinates clamming up like quails, Grandma Lin's anger did not subside; instead, it burned even fiercer.

"As the person in charge of this project, what do you think should be done?" Grandma Lin took several deep breaths to calm herself before shifting her gaze to her eldest son, making an effort to ask in a measured tone.

"Well... well, I can't think of anything at the moment." Lin Shixian's voice grew weaker under Grandma Lin's scrutiny, until at last, only his lips moved with no sound at all.

When Grandma Lin got angry, even Grandpa Lin would back off, let alone his eldest son.

Seeing her eldest son looking so pathetic, Grandma Lin felt as if she was about to cough up old blood from rage. "What are you mumbling? Speak up!" Grandma Lin suddenly slapped the table, startling Lin Shixian into a shiver.

"Mom, getting angry isn't good for your health, you should take care of yourself. I don't think the situation is beyond redemption yet." Lin Shide said with a gentle smile, casting a glance full of disdain at his cowardly brother.

"What do you suggest?" Grandma Lin gestured with her chin towards Lin Shide, signaling him to continue speaking.

Lin Mengyao's heart flutter; touching her rapidly beating heart, it was a strange feeling as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her head, bursting into fireworks in her mind. Lin Mengyao hurriedly pulled the covers over her, her voice slightly hurried as she said, "Alright, stop talking, I'm going to sleep." Xu Ke noticed her
