The Ninety-Year-Old Live-In Son-in-Law: He Carried a Hundred-Billion-Yuan Business Empire, Yet Never Married
When Bai Sigui was seven, both his parents died. His uncle branded him a “jinx” and abandoned him in the snow on a winter’s night.
After being adopted by the Lin family while suffering from a high fever and amnesia, he was forced to serve as a good-luck husband for their frail daughter. On their wedding night, when he was ten, his bride passed away, leaving him saddled with the curse of being a “bringer of doom.”
As he lay dying, the old master of the Lin family placed the household keys in his palm. “From now on, your name is Lin Guibai!”
In a time of chaos, the young live-in son-in-law shouldered the family business as it teetered on the brink of collapse.
When the War of Resistance broke out, he secretly built a factory in Huzhou, using Su embroidery to negotiate with the Japanese invaders while turning silk into military supplies.
After enduring betrayal and imprisonment, he became a titan of the business world.
After victory, he opened Jinyun Pavilion to preserve intangible cultural heritage and established Derun Weaving Workshop to provide relief to refugees.
He turned a small workshop into a multinational corporation and became the head of a trillion-yuan empire, yet he never married, standing alone at the pinnacle of wealth.
At the age of ninety, a secret letter revealed the truth about his origins: he was the Bai family’s legitimate grandson, abandoned all those years ago!
On the verge of death, he knelt before the desolate graves of his birth parents, tears streaming down his face.
He donated his entire hundred-billion-yuan fortune, leaving behind just one sentence: “My name is Lin Guibai, but my roots are at the head of Bai Family Bridge.”
I like the portrayal of the characters here very much. It is different from the stories about sons-in-law that I have seen in the past. The youth is rough, the youth is not easy, and the youth is full of twists and turns, but it has been supporting the family and the family business of the ancestors for the sake of friendship and kindness!
I have been following it for a long time. It is a story about a different era, about the troubled life of the young master of the Lin family. It is fast-paced and not overly emotional, but I can clearly understand the difficulty of being a son-in-law! He did not seek compromise, but took over the family business uprightly and stood up to guard the family!
