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.
