However, just talking about it wasn’t enough. Old Master Lin simply took Lin Momo to his study on the second floor.

The program crew’s cameraman followed them upstairs, but when Old Master Lin gestured for him to wait outside, he stopped outside the study door.

The door closed, and Old Master Lin led Lin Momo to a safe on the other side of the study.

“Come on, I’ll show our Xiao Momo how much our family assets are,” Old Master Lin said, pulling a large box of documents and registration booklets from the cabinet behind him.

“This pile contains our domestic real estate certificates, this pile contains our overseas land ownership certificates, these are our port documents, these are our warehouses, these are our factories, these are our subsidiary companies’ documents, and these…”

Grandpa Lin pulled out a list of items, dazzling Lin Momo.

Although Lin Momo still only had a vague idea of what they were, she understood one thing: their family’s assets seemed to be really, very many.

“Was all of this managed by great-grandpa?” Lin Momo asked, looking at Grandpa Lin.

Seeing his great-granddaughter looking at him with admiration, Grandpa Lin felt a sudden sense of relief and pride.

“Yes, managing such a large family business is no easy task.”

After showing off, seeing Lin Momo’s stunned expression, Old Master Lin smiled and said, “But many things don’t have to be done personally. These lands, estates, and real estates just need to be regularly managed by suitable people. The factories and ports can be managed by trusted people, and some of the subsidiaries can be entrusted to professional managers. The job is to make the right judgments and choices when the time comes.”

Old Master Lin’s words were still a bit profound for Lin Momo to take in, but she nodded seriously.

“And what’s that pile over there?” Lin Momo asked curiously, noticing a pile of certificate booklets and documents in the corner.

“Well, I can’t show you that yet,” Old Man Lin said.

“Why not?” Lin Momo asked subconsciously.

“That’s a birthday present Great-grandpa is preparing for you on your coming of age. I can’t show it to you until you’re an adult. It’s a secret for now, hahaha,” Old Man Lin said mysteriously.

That pile of things were all good things that Great-grandpa Lin was personally preparing for his great-granddaughter. He’d been preparing these ever since he learned that their family had this child, Lin Momo. These assets would be transferred to her name when she came of age, and at that time, Grandpa Lin sincerely hoped to still be able to personally present this gift to her.

… …

Just then, Lin Cheng knocked on the door and walked in.

“That’s enough. She won’t have any idea of what you’re showing her now.” Lin Cheng raised an eyebrow and thought, If he put a small restaurant that can be seen and touched and all these titles and documents in front of Lin Momo at the same time, she might be more attracted to the former.

“I’m taking her back. You should rest too,” Lin Cheng said.

Seeing Lin Cheng urging him to rest, Grandpa Lin was a little unhappy. “What time is it now? What does it matter if it’s early or late? I’m already so old, don’t I know how to tell the time myself?”

Before Lin Cheng could retort, Lin Momo beside him spoke first.

“Great-grandpa Zhou said that you, great-grandfather, should rest at 9:30 every night. The older you get, the more you need to have a regular schedule to stay healthy,” Lin Momo said to Grandpa Lin with a serious face and a little bit of solemnity.

If Lin Cheng had said this, the old man might have objected, but when Lin Momo said it, the old man immediately accepted the advice.

“Okay, okay, I’ll keep to the regular schedule as you said,” Old Master Lin agreed with a smile.

Only after ‘supervising’ Old Master Lin to rest did Lin Momo follow Lin Cheng out.

As soon as the two returned to their home in Grand Riverside, Lin Momo couldn’t wait to wash the school uniform she had received earlier that day, dry it, fold it, and put it neatly in the closet.

Afterwards, Lin Momo took out the textbooks she had received, neatly wrote her name and the name of her new class on the first page, and then wrapped them one by one in the newly bought book covers.

Lin Momo squatted in front of the sofa and concentrated on wrapping the books, completely forgetting the time.

Until Lin Cheng came over and called out, “Lin Momo.”

“Huh?” Lin Momo was stunned and looked up at Lin Cheng.

“What time is it now?” Lin Cheng asked again, his tone a little serious.

Hearing this, Lin Momo realized that Lin Cheng was reminding her that it was time to go to bed, but she was really reluctant to go to bed because she hasn’t finished wrapping the books in front of her yet.

“Yeah, I know. Just a little while. I’ll go to bed after I finish wrapping the last bit.”

“There’s a morning meeting at the company tomorrow. If you don’t wake up early, I won’t wake you,” Lin Cheng threatened Lin Momo .

As expected, these words made Lin Momo stop what she was doing.

The pause lasted only a few seconds before Lin Momo regained her composure and confidently said, “I can get up on my own.”

As if afraid that Lin Cheng’s presence would disturb her, Lin Momo added, “Goodnight, Dad.”

Then, without even looking up, she continued wrapping books.

This naughty attitude was in stark contrast to her earlier appearance at the Lin family mansion, righteously advising Old Man Lin to go to bed on time.

… …

The audience watching this in the livestream channel started to laughing at this development:

[Momo, have you forgotten what you told your great-grandpa just an hour ago?]

[So Lin Momo clearly has a double standard, hahaha.]

[What a massive double standard…]
