22: Chapter 22 aroused public outrage

The Lin Couple's upbringing meant they rarely had the opportunity to experience roadside snacks like this.

They were also quite curious about this fragrant and spicy flavor.

Finally, Lin Qingshan couldn't hold back any longer.

The fruit from earlier hadn't filled him up; in fact, it had only made him hungrier.

He looked at Lin Xiao and asked in a low voice, "A-Xiao, is this enough of what you ordered? If it's not enough, should Dad order some more for you?"

"I ordered enough for four people!"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Lin Qingshan was taken aback, then broke into a smile. He exchanged a look with Su Xiumei, feeling both gratified and a little embarrassed, "It seems our son is truly thoughtful!"

This made them feel less awkward, so they sat down at the dining table and began to eat with Lin Xiao.

Su Xiumei took the gloves handed to her by Lin Xiao and began to dig in herself.

"You have to admit, the things these young people like to eat actually taste quite good."

"Yes, next time we hire a cook, we can look for someone who knows how to make crawfish, so we can eat it at home in the future."

"..."

Watching The Lin Couple praise the food back and forth, Lin Xiao was very happy.

He looked up and saw Lin Baixuan standing at the top of the second-floor stairs, seemingly still hesitant.

Lin Xiao held up his small bowl and smiled brightly, "Second Sister, come on down! I've already peeled some for you."

Lin Baixuan struggled with herself for a moment, but still came downstairs.

She said, somewhat awkwardly, "Since you've already peeled them, I'll have a taste."

Just like that, the four of them happily finished all the crawfish.

By the time Lin Yu returned, everyone was already full and couldn't eat another bite.

"Dad, Mom, I packed some Australian lobster, king crab, and leopard coral grouper for you all..."

Lin Yu walked in looking happy, but what he saw was the family of four looking full and satisfied.

The servants were in the dining room cleaning up the crawfish shells.

"Xiao Yu, you're back. We've already eaten our fill."

Lin Qingshan was in a good mood and didn't notice the change in Lin Yu's expression.

The smile on Lin Yu's face instantly froze, and he asked somewhat awkwardly, "I packed this from the Hotel, do you want to eat a little more? There's also the caviar that Second Sister likes the most."

"No, no, we really can't eat another bite."

Su Xiumei and Lin Baixuan also waved their hands repeatedly.

Lin Yu completely lost his composure, shoved the items at a servant nearby, and said coldly, "Take it all and throw it away!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Logically speaking, these items could be put in the refrigerator and eaten tomorrow.

At the very least, the servants hadn't eaten yet, so there would be no problem giving it to them.

The servant looked at the good food in her hands, feeling reluctant, and asked tentatively, "Young Master, it would be a waste to throw this food away. We haven't eaten yet, could we..."

Under normal circumstances, Lin Yu couldn't be bothered to argue with the servants; whoever wanted to eat it could eat it.

But today, he was furious and shouted, "Are you deaf? I said throw it away! Are you beggars?"

The servant was taken aback; she pursed her lips tightly, her eyes reddening.

She was in her forties or fifties, and to be humiliated like this by someone the same age as her own son, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by grievance and sadness.

"Enough!"

Lin Qingshan's good mood was ruined.

He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Lin Yu, what kind of tantrum are you throwing? Is this how I taught you to behave?"

Although The Lin Family and the Su Family were wealthy, they were not the nouveau riche type.

Therefore, even though Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei had a high standard of living from a young age, the education they received told them not to waste food.

Now, not only was Lin Yu being extremely wasteful, but he was also humiliating the servants, which was intolerable to them.

Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly and walked upstairs without saying a word.

Upon returning to his room, he slammed the door shut!

Su Xiumei sighed softly, walked up to the servant, and said very apologetically, "Ms. Zhao, I am truly sorry. We didn't raise our son well. I will definitely discipline him properly later. Take this and share it with the others, I'm sorry."

"Ma'am, please don't say that. You and Mr. Lin are both good people."

The servant sniffled.

A year ago, when her son was sick and needed a million for surgery, Su Xiumei had lent it to her without the slightest hesitation.

With such a great kindness between them, she naturally wouldn't have any complaints.

But in her heart, she was already lamenting the importance of blood relations.

Lin Yu's personality really didn't resemble The Lin Couple at all; the new Young Master Lin Xiao was the truly kind member of The Lin Family.

...

On Monday, Lin Xiao returned to school.

He had thought that after two days over the weekend, the rumors about him would have faded significantly.

But to his surprise, while the incident about him summoning lightning had faded, the news about Lin Yu going to renovate the school's Library had spread like wildfire.

The crucial part was that while it was spreading, they didn't forget to disparage him.

"That Young Master Lin is truly a good person, volunteering to pay for and help renovate the Library."

"Yeah, he's much better than that chuunibyou."

"Hilarious, pretending to summon lightning to trick people, and then making others clean up his mess later!"

"But I heard that chuunibyou doesn't even appreciate it and has a terrible attitude toward Young Master Lin!"

"Huh? On what grounds?"

"..."

After listening for a while, Lin Xiao realized that the "chuunibyou" the students were talking about was actually himself.

Just last Friday, he was the "Thunder God" in their eyes; how had things changed so much today?

At noon, Lin Xiao endured the stares of those around him and went to the school cafeteria to eat.

To his surprise, as soon as he sat down, a few people came over and slapped his table.

"Hey, how do you have the nerve to come here and eat?"

"I bet he's going to point his finger at the sky in a moment!"

"Haha, yeah, watch out for a lightning strike that destroys the cafeteria!"

"..."

While mocking him, they sat down in the seats around Lin Xiao.

The leader even picked up Lin Xiao's tray and casually dumped it into the trash can nearby.

After provoking and mocking him, they prepared to leave.

Lin Xiao said coldly, "Hey, I paid for this lunch. Aren't you going to compensate me?"

As soon as he said this, those people laughed exaggeratedly, as if they had heard a joke.

"Haha, you actually want me to compensate you?"

The leading boy walked up, wanting to teach Lin Xiao a lesson.

Just then, he suddenly saw Lin Yu walking over from not far away, and his eyes lit up.

"Young Master Yu!"

Lin Yu also saw Lin Xiao surrounded by people.

Knowing that Lin Xiao was being hassled, he came over to watch the show.

The Boy grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and sneered, "I think you're the one who should be paying Young Master Yu! He used his family's money to clean up your mess; how are you going to pay that back?"

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Xiao to answer, The Boy acted as if he had just realized something, "Oh, right, you have no money! But even if you don't have money, you should show some appreciation! Since there are so many people here, why don't you kneel and thank Young Master Yu!"
