Chapter 118: Lin Feng Is My Sister’s!
“Why?”
Her voice was hoarse, tinged with anger on the verge of eruption, as she stared directly at Lin Feng with a cold, piercing gaze. “Because of her, you don’t need me anymore?”
The air was thick with a heavy, sour tension.
Lin Feng caught the scent immediately and instantly understood—Chu Lingshuang was jealous.
Ever since learning that Chu Lingshuang had fallen for him, he had deliberately kept his distance. He could not bear the weight of her affection. Were it not for the agreement they had made, there was no way he would have come to her room as promised.
This abnormal kind of love was not what he desired.
He had never expected that she would have grown to like him this deeply.
Catching sight of her cold eyes, Lin Feng sighed and explained, “Xiao Ran has quite the knack for dealing with those so-called ‘green tea’ types. Let them fight it out; wouldn’t it be more entertaining for us to watch?”
Chu Lingshuang naturally understood his meaning.
She raised an eyebrow, surprised, and glanced at Lin Feng. So he was merely using her sister as a pawn.
Indeed, Lin Feng was different around her now.
She could have easily handled the matter herself, yet he refused and even suggested they watch the show together.
“We…”
Those two words struck Chu Lingshuang’s heart hard. In that moment, she suddenly felt that she was different in Lin Feng’s eyes.
He had accepted her as one of his own.
An inexplicable flicker of joy climbed into Chu Lingshuang’s heart, lifting her spirits.
“Not a bad idea.”
She praised him, the anger in her eyes fading, replaced by a trace of delight. But then she asked, “How do you know she’ll definitely help you?”
Lin Feng shrugged casually and settled onto the sofa opposite her. “Intuition.”
Chu Lingshuang fell silent.
She said no more, letting Lin Feng’s plan proceed. Whatever remained to be done, she would help him finish it with a single word.
Lin Feng had no idea how her thoughts were turning. Seeing the smile at the corner of her eyes, he finally relaxed.
Time quickly moved to the next day.
Lin Feng and Xiao Ran went about recording the show as usual. After growing somewhat tired of the water activities over the past few days, the two set up a fishing rod by the seaside.
After all, a grand spectacle was about to unfold.
At half-past nine in the morning, the program’s designated boat approached from not far off.
Catching sight of the boat, Lin Feng’s lips curved into a faint smile. Off camera, he beamed at Xiao Ran. “The show’s about to start.”
“What show?”
Xiao Ran looked at him, puzzled. She had spent her recent free time planning a carefree life after settling down in the country and hadn’t bothered to learn much else.
Lin Feng said nothing, quietly watching the boat dock.
The camera followed, revealing Xu Nu’er stepping off, dressed in a custom haute couture gown. She smiled sweetly at the camera and introduced herself.
“Hello everyone, I’m Xu Nu’er of the Xu Logistics Company. I’m very happy to participate in this program!”
Her introduction instantly ignited the live chat with an uproar!
“Is this a new guest on the island?”
“The Xu family? I think I’ve heard of them. Isn’t that the company that’s really taken off in recent years?”
“I heard their CEO’s son went missing and made the headlines, but he was found not long ago…”
“Sounds about right…”
“I envy that guy so much—he inherits a million-dollar company the moment he gets home and has three older sisters…”
“I just beat up my dad and he still refuses to admit he owns a company—haha…”
Off camera, Xiao Ran, leisurely fishing, turned her head with curious caution. “Her? You know her?”
How could he not?
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Xiao Ran hadn’t dug into his background.
Feigning mystery, he said, “Old acquaintance.”
He wasn’t certain what Xiao Ran truly thought of him. But given she was Chu Lingshuang’s sister and now had taken over the camera’s focus, she clearly didn’t want anyone else interfering.
Yesterday’s obvious targeting of Miao Ruoyu by Xiao Ran had already made that clear.
With that in mind, Lin Feng prodded further, “You keep fishing for a bit, I’ll go chat with her later. After all, old friends…”
He said this deliberately, watching Xiao Ran’s reaction carefully.
Sure enough!
Xiao Ran immediately grew anxious.
“That won’t do! We agreed to fish together, you can’t sneak off first!”
She tossed her fishing rod aside, stood up, and pointed at Lin Feng dominantly. “Lin Da-ge, you absolutely cannot go over there. If she dares to come near, I’ll deal with her myself!”
Of course—her chosen brother-in-law wasn’t going to be stolen by anyone!
Her expression and tone were the spitting image of Chu Lingshuang.
Exactly the reaction Lin Feng had hoped for.
But the anger wasn’t quite enough. He feigned reluctance, “That won’t do. She’s an old friend. We used to call each other now and then. How can I just not visit?”
“Call each other now and then?!”
Alarm bells rang inside Xiao Ran’s mind.
Combining that with an earlier post she had seen about “the factory guy’s girlfriend,” and Lin Feng’s words, could this woman be Lin Feng’s ex-girlfriend?!
No way, no way!
If Lin Feng got back together with his ex, who would look after her sister?!
Besides, as her idol—the high-level player in the dating world—there was no way he would go back to an ex.
A good horse never goes back to the trough!
Xiao Ran was about to say more when suddenly, behind her, Xu Nu’er’s voice rang out sharply.
“Lin Feng? What a coincidence, you’re here too!”
Her words stunned everyone present.
The live chat exploded with frenzy.
“This factory guy knows the Xu family?!”
“I knew it! I told you this factory guy has connections. Do you really think an ordinary person could get on this show?”
“I think I remember a news story about Lin Feng beating up Xu Jie…”
“No way! Could it really be them?! Oh my god, this is going to be juicy! Grab the popcorn!!!”
“This show’s really intense, guys. I love it!”
Meanwhile, Miao Ruoyu and the others, watching quietly, were shocked as well. Could it be that Lin Feng’s backing was the Xu family?!
But even renting out the entire seventh floor, given the Xu family’s strength, it shouldn’t be this grand…
Before Lin Feng could move, Xiao Ran stepped in front of him, eyes sharp and watchful as she stared at Xu Nu’er.
Ex-girlfriends? Please, just forget it. With her here, Xu Nu’er wouldn’t stand a chance today!
Lin Feng is my sister’s!
Seeing this, Xu Nu’er looked surprised but quickly dropped a bombshell that rippled like a stone thrown into a pond.
“You’re living quite well now, huh? After beating up my brother and framing him for a near-fatal accident—one after another—haven’t you apologized yet?”
