Chapter 129: I’m Here (1)
T/N: Be ready to gnash your teeth… But before that, happy birthday euniseu. ^^
Lin Xin trotted back to her room with her shoes in her hands. She didn’t dare to go out. Staying in her room, she fiddled with her phone until her parents called her to eat.
Father and Mother Lin were the protagonists on this short trip. They showed their love in the restaurant, and Lin Xin and Lin Shuhao, who sat opposite them, became two big light bulbs (T/N: A “light bulb” is a “third wheel”). The two each had something on their minds and ate on their own.
In the middle of the meal, a group of people came to the restaurant, groups of adult men brought female companions. There was even a small-time celebrity among the women. As they passed by Lin Xin, Father Lin hummed, “The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day.”
Lin Shuhao was so stiff that he dared not speak for fear of being scolded by his parents for not choosing the right place. He glanced at the gang and saw one of them. The man saw him, too, and got up, walking towards him.
“Shuhao, what a coincidence.”
He met regularly with them. Lin Shuhao politely replied, “Yes, what a coincidence.” And didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
The man saw Lin Xin next to him and asked, “Your sister?”
Lin Shuhao replied, “Mm-hmm.”
The man didn’t take the hint, he pulled a stool and sat down. Father Lin asked, “Who are your parents?”
The man was absorbed in looking at beauties, neglecting the two elders. Father Lin opened his mouth and the man’s eyes fell on the two elders. Looking at Lin Shuhao’s parents, he smiled.
Father Lin said impolitely, “Say hello to your parents for me. The quality of the project they did last time was so-so. I’m thinking about another one.”
As soon as the man’s face changed, he dared not stay any longer and returned to his group of friends.
Xiao Tian was among them. When he came back, Xiao Tian asked, “What’s the matter?”
He told Xiao Tian exactly what had happened.
Xiao Tian laughed and said, “Just a few words scared you?”
The man smiled and did not speak, his eyes fell on Lin Xin, poured a glass of wine, and played Finger Spoof with his friends.
Lin Shuhao came here through a friend’s recommendation, he heard that the people who come aren’t idle. Who knew he would run into a playboy like Ding Qi, who caused trouble for his parents?
He was taught not to associate with people who have such a chaotic private life, including small stars. His parents, who were already feeling stuffy, were in an even worse mood. They taught him these again, making him feel even worse. After dinner, he’d hide in his room and sleep until he felt better.
Lin Xin didn’t say a word all the way. Since she met Xiao Tian, she had been a little afraid. There were very few people she was afraid of, and Xiao Tian was one of them. She clearly remembered his contemptuous look in the orphanage. A few years later, when the two met… because he liked her a little, she seized his arrogance and disdain, daring to say those words to him.
Ten years later, Lin Xinyu was able to do such things as monitoring her house, pretending not to recognize her, and following her shamelessly. Had it not been for Lin Shuhao, she really felt that he would have taken her as a stand-in. Black to the bone, she could hardly see through him. Who knows what Xiao Tian has become?
Lin Xin doesn’t have a sense of security. She wants to stay with Lin Shuhao. Thinking about what happened today, she thought it would be better to distance herself from him. Otherwise, there would be another misunderstanding, and it’d be very embarrassing. Besides, this was all coming from her sixth sense. She couldn’t directly say to Lin Shuhao: Xiao Tian and I knew each other more than ten years ago. He is not a good person. We should be on guard.
Nothing’s happened yet.
Lin Xin was thinking, when someone knocked at the door. She thought it was Lin Shuhao and had just unbolted the door. The man outside the door pulled hard at the door and slid in like a loach.
The smell of wine stung her nose, and Lin Xin stepped back. Ding Qi rushed up with the smell of wine.
While eating, he ran into a wall at Father Lin’s side. Upset, he drank more wine. Xiao Tian asked him if he really liked Miss Lin, or did he pretend? Of course, he really likes her. Miss Lin is a first-class beauty, like a beautiful person made of snow. It tickled his heart when he thought about her, but she’s not the daughter of an ordinary person. His parents have business dealings with the Lin family and cannot offend them. He was used to flirting. When he met someone who he couldn’t eat, he had another glass of wine in his heart. He babbled that his family could not afford to offend them. They were all wine and meat friends. Xiao Tian casually said, seeing that he liked Lin Xin, go, who cares about offending them?
Who is Xiao Tian? He’s someone everyone in their group was trying to please. The Lin family couldn’t compare to the Xiao family. When Ding Qi heard him say this, he gained courage. Drinking a few more glasses of wine, Lin Xin’s face was stuck in his head. Taking advantage of everyone’s inattention, he knocked on Lin Xin’s door. Ding Qi easily slipped into her room while Lin Xin was not prepared. When he saw the beauty, he jumped on her, covered her mouth and took off his pants while coaxing, “Be a good girl and don’t cry, I like you. Don’t move. I promise I won’t hurt you. Just wait, I’ll come to your house and propose.”
