Lin Xin’er used to gain the upper hand, so she couldn’t simply accept it that Lin Xiaomi could fight back.
But soon, she calmed down. Lin Xiaomi wasn’t and would never be her matched rival, for she had the last resort to decide the life and death of Lin Xiaomi.
Lin Qingtian, who had witnessed the whole scene, couldn’t help fix his eyes on Lin Xiaomi who walked away with her head high.
He suddenly wanted to laugh. The little girl who used to be bullied and cried in the bed became strong.
However, her fierce smile looked charming.
Lin Xiaomi who knew how to counterattack was more attractive than before.
He stood upright and wanted to return his room but looked into Lin Xin’er’s eyes.
“Brother, don’t you have a present for me?”
He said with his lips curled, “Follow me.”
Lin Xin’er followed Lin Qingtian into his room. He didn’t take out a present. Instead, he directly went to the wine cabinet and picked up a bottle of red wine, pouring himself a glass.
“I only have wine. You pick up one.”
Lin Xin’er couldn’t drink wine because of her bad health, which he knew. However, he still asked her to pick up a bottle.
She said with an indifferent face, “Why doesn’t my future sister-in-law come back with you? Right, if she comes back, how can you stay with our pretty stepsister?”
He remained gentle. “I don’t understand what you said.”
She said with a sneer, “It’s okay you don’t get it, but I have to persuade you to give up your plan. She only regards you as a trustworthy elder brother. What will she think of you if she learns you have a thing for her?”
He drank the wine in one gulp.
She walked over and poured him one more glass before walking away.
Upon approaching the door, she stopped on purpose like something suddenly crossed her mind. “Oh, I almost forget to tell you that you’ve come back late. Our lovely little sister likes someone and they get along with each other. But, you don’t need to feel panicked. I asked father to find fiancé for her, so if you still want to do something, you must hurry up.”
Then, she opened the door and stepped out with a smile.
When the door was shut, his face immediately turned cold, and he touched the soft but cold glass wall with his finger-pulps.
When he exerted more force, the goblet was broken at once.
He spread his fingers and saw that his palm was red. Nobody knew it was blood or wine.
Downstairs, Jiang Hui entered the kitchen to finalize the dishes for dinner. When coming out, she saw Lin Xiaomi sitting on the sofa. Having probably washed her face, Lin perfectly hid the fact that she cried.
Sitting opposite of Lin, Jiang Hui stared at Lin’s young and beautiful face.
Lin Xiaomi was beautiful but not that beautiful. But, she possessed a unique mien, attracting others.
Jiang had to admit that Lin was pretty and worth of looking.
Jiang pulled back her thoughts and enjoined Lin, “You should act happily a little while and don’t wear a long face. You have to smile. You hear me? The difference between men and women is women should be gentle and soft. Our weapon is our beauty. You should make men to appreciate your beauty instead of making them consider you boring.”
“The second master of the Tang family isn’t an ordinary person. The Tang family and the Xu family of the capital city are relatives. Do you know the Xu family of the capital city? Thus, we didn’t lie to you.”
Hearing this, Lin said with a sarcastic smile, “Really? If the marriage is as good as you said, why not leave it to Lin Xin’er? Isn’t she your treasure? Why do you keep her away from such a good marriage?”
Jiang said sulkily, “How can you say that? Xin’er has a boyfriend and is engaged to him soon.”
“Right, she has a boyfriend, so you don’t force her. I also have a boyfriend, but why do you force me to stay with another man?”
Lin continued with a chilly sneer, “You don’t need to worry about me. Don’t you control my grandma’s life? Hence, I have to obey you, don’t I?”
Lin’s grandmother was Jiang’s biological mother. After Lin said those, the servants around directly glanced at Jiang disdainfully.
To be honest, Jiang was like a servant in the Lin family who could be bossed around.
Hearing this, Jiang felt that she lost face and all the nearby servants looked at herself in disdain.
Jiang was overwhelmed with anger and shame and scolded Lin, “You really don’t know chalk from cheese! If you weren’t my daughter, I wouldn’t have looked after you. Do you know how many women want this marriage? Why do you not feel satisfied?”
Right on the time, Lin Xin’er walked down the stairs and helped Jiang by the hand. “Aunt, don’t be furious! Xiaomi doesn’t understand your heart yet. She may be thanking you after meeting Second Master Tang.”
As soon as Lin Xin’er sat down, a glass of warm milk was brought to her. She actually disliked milk, but due to her cold hands and feet all year round, she also hoped to hold one glass in her hands.
“Xiaomi, you’ll thank aunt after getting married into the Tang family. By then, you won’t need to go out for work and will only spend time thinking about how to keep your husband around you.”
Lin Xiaomi extremely hated Lin Xin’er posing as her elder sister. She didn’t understand what Lin Xin’er meant until she met Second Master Tang.
Tang Fengmo, the second master of the Tang family, was an infamous playboy and loved young models. He changed girlfriend as frequently as he changed cars. Rumor has it, no woman could be with him for a whole month.
Lin Xiaomi, who never read gossip magazines, heard a lot about him.
Wen Jiang gossiped with her many times that he changed his girlfriend again.
Ho!
That was the good marriage Jiang Hui said?
Tang Fengmo loathed the blind dates, especially after he heard that the daughter of the Lin family was unhealthy.
He was young and didn’t plan to get married before turning 40. His standard of life was “Live the life and enjoy the women.”
Unfortunately, his father gave him a beating.
However, when he saw Lin Xiaomi, he couldn’t help brightening his eyes. Was this Miss Lin?
Look at her face!
Look at her body!
Look at her mien!
He couldn’t take his eyes off Lin Xiaomi.
