【It was hoped that if Lin Ting saw Song Xinyan’s true face today, the “peaceful and prosperous world” filter Song Xinyan had in Lin Ting’s eyes would shatter completely】
Lin Ting: It had already shattered.
“Elder sister, really no need. You don’t have to be so polite. Just take it back quickly, don’t accidentally drop it on the ground later and then say I knocked it down.” Song Xinyu said while retreating, her tone full of sarcasm.
Song Xinyan was stunned. Did she already know about my plan?
Impossible. She could not have suddenly gained intelligence.
“Little sister, how can you think of me like that?” the elder sister said, appearing deeply hurt, pretending to be aggrieved: “I was clearly sincerely blessing you.”
“Then fine, come back with me. In front of everyone, properly and justifiably put the bracelet on my wrist.” Song Xinyu countered immediately: “If you secretly give it to me like this, at best it looks like you, as my sister, are feeling sorry for me and giving it to me. What if someone with ill intentions thinks I stole it or snatched it?”
This made Song Xinyan freeze again.
She had not expected her younger sister to actually start using her brain.
“Little sister, this jade bracelet was given to me by Aunt Jing. If I now transfer it to you in front of her, Aunt Jing will be upset. I can’t publicly embarrass her.” She began to find excuses.
“So you just don’t want to give it?”
“How could that be?” the elder sister panicked.
“Then isn’t it the same if I put it on now?” As she spoke, she picked up the bracelet and tried to force it onto her hand.
Her plan could not fail.
What Song Xinyu did not expect was that Song Xinyan was actually so shameless and ruthless.
Before it even touched her, she suddenly dropped the bracelet onto the ground.
It shattered into pieces.
And without warning, she started crying.
Her acting speed was even faster than a best actress entering character.
“Why did this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Sister?”
【What an actress! So much drama. Why don’t you just go be a performer……】 Song Xinyu mocked her wildly in her mind.
But what came out of her mouth was: “Oh dear, the bracelet is broken. Now neither of us can wear it.”
“……” Song Xinyan could not believe it. Why did her younger sister even look pleased about it?
“At this moment, are you planning to call people over? I’ll help you call them!”
“Someone come! The bracelet is broken!” Song Xinyu shouted loudly: “The bracelet representing the lady of the Lin Family is broken……”
This surprised Song Xinyan quite a bit.
When did her sister stop playing by the rules?
From a corner, Lin Ting, who had been hiding, watched the scene and suddenly smiled.
Then he realized something. He normally only used his limited time on billion-dollar contracts, yet somehow he was now wasting time watching drama.
It was actually quite interesting.
Of course, he had also learned something.
People eventually arrived.
With Song Xinyan’s tearful appearance, even without a word, everyone already felt she had been bullied.
Add to that the jade bracelet lying shattered on the ground.
Everyone immediately sighed and reacted.
Mother Song arrived first. Without asking what happened, she immediately scolded Song Xinyu: “Song Xinyu, you actually snatched your sister’s things again!”
When Mother Lin saw the broken bracelet on the ground—something she had protected flawlessly for decades—now shattered into three or four pieces, how could she not be angry?
She could no longer suppress her rage.
She raised her hand and moved to slap Song Xinyu.
Unexpectedly, Song Xinyu dodged and pushed Song Xinyan forward in front of Aunt Jing instead.
She countered: “Believe it or not, this bracelet was broken by Song Xinyan herself.”
“Aunt Jing, your anger is justified. After all, this is your treasured collection. If you want to hit someone, hit the person responsible.”
“How is that possible?” Mother Song immediately denied it: “Song Xinyu, what now? After marrying into the Lin Family, are you becoming more and more arrogant? Now you even dare to slander your sister?”
Mother Lin also did not believe it.
This instead confirmed Song Xinyu’s earlier words: they really would not believe it even if it was said.
But now, someone would believe it.
Song Xinyan seized the opportunity.
“Aunt Jing, please hit me to calm your anger. I indeed did not protect the bracelet properly.”
“……”
【She really is good at this……】
Song Xinyu’s mouth twitched. “None of you saw the entire process, none of you even asked what happened, and you already judged me guilty?”
She wanted to continue speaking.
But she was interrupted by Song Xinyan.
Tears were already welling up in her eyes, trembling at the corners like rain droplets hanging on lotus leaves in West Lake. No ordinary person could bear to scold or hit her.
“Little sister, I already said I could give the bracelet to you. I even said I would put it on you directly. Why did you have to make things so complicated……”
After hearing this, everyone understood the meaning clearly.
It was just that Song Xinyu was shamelessly trying to snatch the bracelet.
At this moment, Old Master Song and Old Master Lin also arrived.
Old Master Song truly cared about his youngest granddaughter, otherwise he would not have temporarily decided to marry her into the Lin Family: “Xiao Yu, explain yourself.”
“Dad, what is there left to explain? Song Xinyu has always been like this, making trouble without reason, snatching her sister’s things is one thing, now she even learned to strike first and blame others.” Mother Song continued again.
Song Xinyu sneered.
【This is my own mother! She didn’t even ask anything and already sentenced her younger daughter. In her eyes, only the well-behaved elder daughter matters……】
“I really don’t have much use explaining.” Song Xinyu said: “But fortunately, I have a witness who can testify for me.”
“Eldest Young Master Lin, President Lin, have you seen enough of the show?”
Only then did everyone realize Lin Ting was gone.
No one knew when, but he had already stepped out from somewhere.
At the same time, Song Xinyan seemed completely frozen.
Lin Ting walked forward under everyone’s gaze.
A straight suit, hair meticulously styled, and a noble yet stern expression made him look like a fair and impartial judge.
His naturally cold and distant aura made people unwilling to approach him, yet unable to ignore him.
At the same time, his expression was the most unreadable of all.
In an instant, the atmosphere turned icy.
No one dared to act rashly.
Of course, among them, the most panicked one was Song Xinyan.
She never expected Lin Ting to be here.
If he had been present from the beginning, then he must have known that she was the one who initially offered the bracelet to Song Xinyu.
Not that Song Xinyu had tried to snatch it.
On the other side, Song Xinyu unexpectedly found Lin Ting pleasing to the eye for the first time.
But she still could not resist complaining in her mind:
【This guy’s “CEO syndrome” is acting up again. Why does he have to walk like it’s such a grand entrance, like the male lead coming on stage? Don’t forget, you are just a male cannon fodder……】
These words successfully caused Lin Ting’s footsteps to falter slightly.
His image almost collapsed.
Then he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. “Mm, I heard everything just now, and I saw it too……”
