While comforting her eldest grandson Lin Feng, she berated angrily, "This wretched girl stopped her nonsense for a few days when she got hospitalized, but now, she's acting like a devil again! Who does she exactly take after? Why is she so out of line? Where is she? She's just returned home. What is she up to again? If we don't keep her in line, she will turn the tables on us!"
Lin Zikang was still at the office and hadn't come home yet.
Xu Man served old Mrs. Lin a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her.
She patted her son Lin Feng's back and said gently to old Mrs. Lin, "Mother, simmer down. They're both children, and they were just playing around. She won't really harm him."
"You're just biased towards that wretched girl! She's insensible and doesn't know how to behave herself! I know it's hard being a stepmother, but you have to be fair. Besides, Lin Feng is your biological son! Look how that wretched girl bullied my grandson! Where is that bastard girl? Hurry and get her to come out!"
Lin Xiao was initially already gloating at the side.
After hearing what old Mrs. Lin said, she immediately stood up and said, "I'll call Sister to come down for dinner."
"Dinner? What for!?! I really don't know what's wrong with her head! Hurry and tell her to get her ass here!"
Old Mrs. Lin barked in exasperation.
Xu Man hurriedly tried to calm her down while speaking to her slowly and softly.
However, there was some smugness in her eyes as she shot a glance at her daughter.
Having understood what she meant, Lin Xiao immediately headed upstairs and walked towards the guest room where Lin Rui was at the moment. She pushed the door and entered immediately.
However, before she could open her mouth to speak, she suddenly felt an object flying towards her face!
Lin Xiao couldn't dodge in time and was smacked in the face by the book!
She originally wanted to see Lin Rui being embarrassed...
She subconsciously rubbed her nose which was hot and stinging with pain.
She then looked at her feet and saw that there was an extremely thick book beside it!
After all, Lin Xiao was not as patient and tolerant as her mother Xu Man. She was so infuriated that she was quivering like a sieve.
Pointing at Lin Rui, she hollered in exasperation, "Why did you hit me?"
"Why didn't you knock on the door?" Lin Rui asked rhetorically.
Lin Xiao fell speechless.
With clenched fists, her body quivered for a long time before she suppressed her anger.
Lin Xiao only adjusted her expression when she thought about the angry old Mrs. Lin downstairs.
She said aggrievedly, "Sister, I was too anxious, so I forgot to knock on the door. Just now, Lin Feng complained that you bullied him, and Grandma is furious now. She wants you to go downstairs, I'm worried..."
Before Lin Xiao even finished speaking, Lin Rui had already gone downstairs.
She looked at Lin Rui's back in surprise.
Her nose was painful, and more importantly, Lin Rui's current behavior made her feel worried.
However, the anger that she felt after being smacked in her face overpowered that feeling of surprise.
Lin Xiao gritted her teeth, rubbed her eyes hard, and then immediately walked towards the stairs.
'Hmph! Lin Rui, who told you to hit me!?'
'I'm going to teach you a lesson!'
On the other hand, Lin Rui had already walked towards the dining hall and sat down naturally.
Looking at the sumptuous spread in front of her, she realized that none of the food contained spiritual energy and thus was not beneficial to her body. However, that was what most of the food in this world was like. They tasted delicious though.
Lin Rui picked up a piece of claypot meat and said with a frown, "This meat is overcooked."
Old Mrs. Lin who was ready to lash out at her was stunned speechless.
The recalcitrant child Lin Feng who was ready to pretend crying was at a loss for words too.
Xu Man who was pretending and was ready to watch a good show fell silent too.
