The Lin family banquet hall was brightly lit.
Numerous upper-class elites clinked glasses and enjoyed their drinks with laughter.
Yet, from time to time, their gazes would shift toward a young man standing by the wine table.
That person was none other than Lin Xuan, the infamous unfilial son rumored to have been expelled from the Lin family by its head.
At this moment, he was holding a wine glass, sipping alone, seemingly lost in thought, entirely ignoring the peculiar gazes directed at him.
"Bai Susu. I remember she was also a supporting character in the novel."
"Initially portrayed as the ultimate naive sweetheart, she turned vengeful when Su Yang destroyed both the Bai and Lin families..."
"Unfortunately, against the Child of Destiny, how could she possibly succeed in her revenge?"
"In the end, she developed Stockholm Syndrome and sacrificed herself to save the protagonist..."
Recalling Bai Susu's storyline.
Lin Xuan's mouth twitched; he found it unbearably melodramatic.
Especially in the setting... his predecessor's ridiculous actions to pander to Bai Susu were so degrading that Lin Xuan felt too embarrassed to comment.
At that moment!
"Brother Lin Xuan~~"
A crisp and affectionate voice rang out behind Lin Xuan.
He frowned and turned around, seeing a girl in a white princess dress with an innocent smile approaching him.
With just one look, Lin Xuan recognized her identity.
Bai Susu.
He had to admit, the girl before him indeed possessed captivating charm.
This air of pure and innocent naivety from the inside out.
It was immensely attractive to many men, evoking memories of their first crush in their youth...
But after fully understanding the story, Lin Xuan couldn't help but see her as a sanctimonious hypocrite...
At this moment.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was slow to respond to Bai Susu's call.
A bald young man behind her scowled and shouted angrily.
"Didn't you hear my little sister calling you? Are you deaf or blind?"
Bai Hai? And Bai Jiang? Bai He?
Looking at the three clingy young men behind Bai Susu, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
In the original plot.
These three sister-obsessed maniacs were no good.
They often took advantage of the predecessor's affection for their little sister, treating him bossily and often beating or scolding him.
Yet, despite the predecessor's endless flattery and willingness to be their cash cow.
All he got in return was their deep-seated disdain...
'Idiot, you want to be my sister's husband? Take a good look in the mirror—do you think you're worthy?'
After going through his predecessor's memories, Lin Xuan's expression turned icy. He didn't even feel like looking at the siblings anymore and turned to sip his wine instead.
"Brother Lin Xuan? Why aren't you talking to me!"
"Did Susu do something wrong to upset you?"
Seeing Lin Xuan ignore her, Bai Susu's eyes flickered with surprise before she blinked her big eyes pitifully.
This appearance of grievance and helplessness.
Made her three brothers behind her feel heartbroken and caused the surrounding male guests to gulp, wishing they could embrace and cherish such a pure beauty.
But what shocked everyone was...
Lin Xuan, previously the ultimate simp, not only showed no expression but also coldly uttered one word:
"Scram!"
(⊙⊙)???
(ΩДΩ)!!!
(òωó?)!!!!!
With those words, not just everyone in the banquet hall.
Even the perpetually naive Bai Susu had her smile freeze instantly.
"Brother Lin Xuan? You-you... what's wrong? What happened?"
Bai Susu covered her cherry-like lips, tears welling in her eyes, her expression filled with three parts confusion, three parts sadness, and four parts disbelief...
This was the first time since she had known Lin Xuan that he had scolded her with a sour face.
What's going on?!
How could Brother Lin Xuan turn out like this?
The Brother Lin Xuan who always cherished her and treated her like a treasure...
How could he treat me like this?!!
Impossible, absolutely impossible?!!!
Before Bai Susu could recover from her shock…
The three "protectors" behind her couldn't sit still. How could they watch their beloved sister suffer?
Eldest brother Bai Hai slapped his shiny bald head, his expression ferocious.
"You bastard! Lin Xuan, is that how you talk to my little sister? Are you looking to die?!"
Second brother Bai Jiang rolled up his sleeves and threatened viciously:
"Kneel and apologize to my little sister immediately. If not, I guarantee you'll leave here lying down today!"
Third brother Bai He pulled out a rubber band from his pocket, tied his shoulder-length hair back, and glared fiercely, as if ready for a fight.
"You scumbag! Are you rebelling? Need a beating? Have you forgotten how we dealt with you before?"
Seeing the three brothers about to start a fight, the surrounding guests quickly cleared the area and retreated to the corners to watch the show.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Looks like Young Master Lin has awakened and doesn't want to be a simp anymore?"
"Isn't that normal? Simping for years hasn't done him any good!"
"I think it's because of his comatose fiancée that Young Master Lin has no interest in Bai Susu anymore!"
"Could be! After all, Su Qingge is still the number one beauty of Magic City. Even if she's just a decorative vase in bed, she's still stunning."
"Come on! I think it's because the pressure is too much! Chairman Lin kicked him out of the family, so without power or wealth, who has the mood to simp?"
"I agree. Lin Xuan's presence today probably means he's ready to admit defeat and wants to apologize to Lin Jianjun to return to the family."
"......."
The guests murmured amongst themselves, and some of their words reached Bai Susu's ears, causing her to suddenly realize.
So that's how it is!
Brother Lin Xuan must have become like this because he's in a bad mood—it's understandable.
As long as I help him resolve the misunderstanding with Uncle, he'll become the Brother Lin Xuan who cherished me again.
Thinking this.
Bai Susu's mood brightened once again.
She quickly spread her arms, blocking Lin Xuan, and pouted as she glared at her three brothers.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, no fighting! Or I'll get angry. [○?｀Д′? ○]"
Under her "threat."
The three sister-obsessed brothers all changed their expressions and could only glare fiercely at Lin Xuan.
However, Lin Xuan remained calm and ignored their stares completely.
Before coming to the Lin family, he had spent 500 "Attachment" points to acquire master-level combat skills for self-defense.
Dealing with a few untrained ordinary people would be an easy task.
"Brother Lin Xuan, I know you're in a bad mood because Uncle won't forgive you."
"But don't worry, we just met with Uncle and the others…"
With a pure expression, Bai Susu took the contract from her eldest brother Bai Hai and handed it to Lin Xuan with a cheerful smile.
"Uncle said that as long as you sign this contract, he will forgive you."
"Hurry and sign it, Brother Lin Xuan! I'll get you a pen."
Seeing Lin Xuan take the contract with an unreadable smile and begin reading it.
Bai Susu grinned from ear to ear.
She seemed to already envision the scene where, thanks to her help, the misunderstanding between Lin Xuan and his family was resolved, and everyone was happily reunited.
I'm amazing! (??????)??
