133: Chapter 133 Lin Xiao is a very clever man

Leaving the meeting room, the three siblings were in good spirits.

Only the Assistant looked worried, wearing an expression as if she had something to say.

Finally, upon reaching the parking lot, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Fourth Sister, this contract... we're really not going to sign it?"

"Otherwise what?"

Fourth Sister raised an eyebrow.

The foreign manager had been scolded to the point of almost needing an ambulance; was there really any room for negotiation?

"Fourth Sister, I just feel that this isn't right."

The Assistant said with a serious face, "After all, you spent over half a month running around to get this endorsement. It's not like those small, trivial things from before!"

Fourth Sister certainly knew how much effort she had put into this endorsement, but compared to the major trouble that would follow, she would rather let her previous efforts go down the drain.

Moreover, she was curious. The Assistant had clearly been present just now; couldn't she see that something was wrong?

Even with the foreign manager wearing such a face, did the Assistant really not think there was a problem?

Fourth Sister felt a bit dissatisfied with the Assistant, but with Lin Xiao and Lin Ran present, she didn't want to reprimand her subordinate just yet.

However, her silence seemed to be misunderstood by the Assistant.

"Fourth Sister, I know you might have things you find hard to say."

"What?"

Fourth Sister was a bit bewildered by the Assistant's nonsensical statement.

But she saw the Assistant turn to look at Lin Ran, saying with a serious face: "Lin Ran, you are Fourth Sister's younger sister. There are some things Fourth Sister might find hard to say directly... It was fine when you were willful before, but Fourth Sister has put so much effort into this collaboration. It really is a bit too much for you to throw a tantrum at a time like this!"

Lin Ran: ??

"Do you know how hard Fourth Sister has worked this month? How can you only think of yourself and completely disregard the feelings of others?"

The Assistant continued to ramble on, her tone dripping with condescension.

It didn't feel like an Assistant speaking, but rather like one of her elders.

Lin Ran wasn't a pushover and wanted to snap right then and there.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao stepped directly in front of her, whispering: "Public persona, mind your public persona!"

"There's no one here..."

Lin Ran gritted her teeth in frustration.

"There is. I just saw paparazzi over there!"

Lin Xiao immediately warned her.

Lin Ran trusted Lin Xiao, so she could only keep trying to calm herself down.

Seeing Lin Ran calm down, Lin Xiao also let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, the Assistant's methods were not very clever.

It was also possible that she underestimated the bond between The Lin Family sisters, truly thinking that these few words of provocation could create a rift between Fourth Sister and Lin Ran.

As for the paparazzi hiding behind the greenery, they were likely arranged by her in advance.

It was all to tarnish Lin Ran's reputation.

Fortunately, Lin Xiao reacted quickly and stopped Lin Ran in time.

As for Fourth Sister, they weren't worried.

If she could really be provoked by a few words, then Fourth Sister shouldn't call herself a member of The Lin Family anymore.

"Fourth Sister, look at how big the artist's temper is. She gets unhappy after just a few words."

The Assistant even started acting aggrieved herself.

But unexpectedly, Fourth Sister said coldly and indifferently: "Have you forgotten? She is not just an artist in the company; she is my younger sister! Furthermore, I didn't like those things you said, either."

"Ah, Fourth Sister..."

The Assistant's expression stiffened. Looking up and seeing Fourth Sister's unhappy face, she immediately felt awkward.

Due to professional courtesy and the surrounding paparazzi, Fourth Sister didn't tear into the Assistant, but just waved her hand, "You can get off work first. We're heading home too."

"O-okay."

The Assistant had no choice but to leave silently.

The three siblings got into the car, and Lin Ran finally couldn't hold it in.

"Sister, am I such a despicable person? Your Assistant is about to shit on my head!"

"My fault. I really didn't realize she had such big issues before."

Fourth Sister looked through the car window at the Assistant's departing figure.

She had always been confident, but she had to admit that this time, she really had used the wrong person.

Lin Xiao sat to the side, still pondering his plan to get Fourth Sister to the Hospital.

Only after a long time did he notice the two of them looking at him after their conversation.

"W-what is it?"

"Are we planning to spend the night in the parking lot?"

"Ah? Definitely not."

"Then why aren't you driving!"

"..."

The three siblings sat in the car for a full ten minutes before realizing there was no driver in the driver's seat.

...

Back home, Fourth Sister went straight to her room.

She called the paparazzi and private investigators she knew well, asking them to help investigate the Assistant's situation in detail.

After Lin Baixuan returned home, she called her over to briefly explain the situation today.

As a doctor, Lin Baixuan was equally shocked to hear that Fourth Sister had been fed pig feed until she gained weight.

This matter could not be delayed, so they decided to go to the Hospital tomorrow for a full body check-up!

After the plan was finalized, they went to the living room.

But they found their parents and the others sitting on the sofa, with only Lin Xiao missing.

"Where is A-Xiao?"

Fourth Sister asked in confusion.

"I'm right here!"

Lin Xiao walked out of the kitchen carrying a pot of soup.

Seeing Lin Xiao wearing an apron, the family was a bit stunned.

They had heard clattering from the kitchen earlier and thought the housekeeper was busy.

They didn't expect that the one cooking today was actually Lin Xiao!

"Oh my, A-Xiao, have you transformed into a househusband?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but tease.

"I just thought that since I've been back for so long, I hadn't cooked for everyone yet! Come and try it."

Lin Xiao greeted them with a smile.

Everyone was very supportive, sitting at the dining table and ladling a bowl of soup each.

"The taste is not bad!"

"It's actually quite good."

"I can't tell, our A-Xiao has this skill too."

"..."

The group's reviews were very high.

Especially Su Xiumei, whose gaze towards Lin Xiao was full of affection.

Her precious son was capable outside and could cook a good meal at home.

With such excellent qualities, how many young girls would he attract in the future!

Would she be able to hold a grandson before long?

At this moment, Lin Chuge looked at Lin Xiao and suddenly asked: "A-Xiao, why aren't you drinking any?"

"It's fine, I'm not hungry."

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head.

Everyone didn't pay it any mind, but the next second, they heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

[Of course I can't drink it, because I put laxatives in the soup!]

[This way, the whole family will go to the Hospital together, and I'll have an excuse to make Fourth Sister get a full body check-up!]

[I truly am a genius!]

[Hee hee!]
