143: Chapter 143 A Leaky Voice

Lin Xiao opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Although he had been stubborn just now, seeing his comical appearance actually displayed in front of everyone, he still felt a bit embarrassed.

Since things had come to this, he could only keep comforting himself.

It was a skill card he had worked so hard to get; it would be a waste not to use it!

Fortunately, the footage on the big screen didn't last too long and was soon replaced by the official competition footage.

Just as he was about to heave a sigh of relief, Zhang Xiaofu handed over his phone with a wicked grin.

"Brother Lin, your photo is on the School Forum!"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao found it hard to believe; how could someone be so quick?

And judging by Zhang Xiaofu's expression, he had a feeling it wasn't anything good.

Sure enough, what had been posted on the forum was a series of photos of him during the competition.

But the angle of every single photo was remarkably unique and tricky.

Especially the one of him doing the Doggy Paddle while turning at the wall.

Who knew how the other person had found such a perfect moment to snap it.

It made Lin Xiao look comical, yet it also showcased his impressive physique.

The lines of his pectoral muscles, the lines of his arms, that... king oyster mushroom line.

Besides that, there were quite a few "close-ups."

The people in the comment section really knew how to find the main points.

"Damn, I didn't expect this wealthy young master to have such a great body!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad, not bad."

"This is more than just 'not bad', this is practically a male bodhisattva!"

"Wow, long live the male bodhisattva!"

"Male bodhisattva, can we have some more?"

"With anonymous protection, is everyone really dropping the act now?"

"..."

Lin Xiao was numb from reading it; this was practically a massive public execution of his social life!

He was, after all, an innocent The Boy; how could he be gawked at like this?

How could he have the face to see anyone now!

When leaving the competition venue, Lin Xiao silently put on his hat and mask again.

Fortunately, this wasn't his first time experiencing such a social death.

It's okay, this life will pass quickly.

But to his surprise, this matter didn't end so easily.

After returning home, he pushed the door open and heard a few pops of confetti cannons.

At the same time, ribbons and confetti flew everywhere!

His family members walked out from the side, clapping enthusiastically.

"Congratulations, A-Xiao!"

"Little brother A-Xiao is the best!"

"..."

Lin Xiao hadn't expected his family to get the news so quickly and have a celebration prepared for him in advance.

This finally brought a glimmer of warmth to his wounded heart.

However, the next second, he couldn't feel warm anymore.

He saw Su Xiumei snap her fingers, followed by a "whoosh" sound.

A giant poster descended from the sky!

It slowly unfurled amidst everyone's expectant gazes.

First, a line of golden characters appeared: "Congratulations to Lin Xiao for winning the championship!"

Immediately following that was a photo of Lin Xiao swimming.

That's right, it was still the photo of him doing the Doggy Paddle!

God knows how bizarre the atmosphere became after this poster appeared.

After a moment of silence, everyone burst into wild laughter!

Even the servants couldn't help it, their heads bowed and their shoulders shaking.

At this moment, Lin Xiao wished he could kneel on the spot and promise that he would absolutely never use the Doggy Paddle again!

"Third Sister, does, does this count as damaging my personal image?"

Lin Xiao tugged gently on Su Yu's sleeve, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, "Of course not. Only something as malicious as when you reported me for soliciting male prostitutes would count as intentionally damaging my personal image."

Lin Xiao: "Fine, fine, fine!"

So that's where you were waiting for me!

Lin Xiao thought it over and decided he had to do something to make Third Sister stop dwelling on this matter.

[Right, can I tell Third Sister that the person in charge of their rival law firm has some special fetishes, for example, liking the smell of other people's armpits...]

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao leaned over to Su Yu and whispered, "Third Sister, to make up for what happened before, I can reveal some secrets to you. After that, let's call our grudge even, okay!"

Su Yu nodded feignedly, "Alright, but you have to tell me some useful secrets."

Lin Xiao felt a surge of joy and lowered his voice, "It's that Lawyer Li who is always at odds with you, he..."

"He likes the smell of armpits; I know."

Su Yu replied expressionlessly.

"Ah? You know?"

Lin Xiao was stunned and hurriedly called out to the system in his mind to provide more intel.

The system cooperated and told him some more things.

[Oh, that client Third Sister has been in contact with recently is actually a fraudster; it was premeditated murder, not manslaughter!]

"Third Sister, there's one more thing. That man who hired you two days ago, he..."

"He committed intentional homicide, not premeditated murder; I know."

Su Yu's tone remained flat.

Lin Xiao's words were blocked once again, so he had to keep searching for gossip related to Su Yu.

"Third Sister, your former colleague..."

"Spreading rumors behind my back about me and someone else; I know."

"And the place you ate last time..."

"Trying to fool me with low-grade steak; I know."

"The little yellow dog downstairs from your law firm..."

"Gave birth to four puppies yesterday; I know."

"..."

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded.

How could Su Yu already know everything, no matter what he said!

Looking at Lin Xiao's slightly bewildered expression, Su Yu smiled and said, "A-Xiao, can you tell me something fresh?"

"I..."

Lin Xiao had already exhausted all the relevant gossip; where could he find anything fresh?

The others in the family watched from the side and couldn't help but snicker.

Who told Lin Xiao's inner voice to be so leaky?

It couldn't all be blamed on Su Yu for bullying him.

Just at this moment, Lin Wanwan, who had been sitting in the corner fiddling with her phone, suddenly let out an exclamation!

"Wait, wait a minute?"

"What's wrong?"

Everyone looked over in confusion.

Usually, Lin Wanwan was calm and reticent, rarely showing such startled reactions.

Lin Wanwan stared at her phone screen, checking it repeatedly, before slowly looking up.

"Lin Yu, Lin Yu has entered the entertainment industry to become a star!"
