92: Chapter 92 The Mysterious Man in the Toilet
Lin Xiao recalled the gifts his eldest sister had given him before, which were basically luxury goods, and he started to feel expectant in his heart.
Although he was not short on money, every time he bought clothes himself, they were very ugly, and occasionally he would be mocked by people at school for being foolish and having too much money.
However, his eldest sister had excellent taste, and everything she gave him was both good-looking and practical.
Lin Xiao returned home with a feeling of anticipation.
The Lin Couple and Lin Baixuan were already waiting at home, and they had prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes.
Lin Xiao had successfully helped Lin Wanwan solve her trouble and was hailed by everyone as the hero of the Lin family.
Things like abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and Australian lobster were all being piled into his bowl.
The change in Lin Wanwan's attitude also made the family very happy.
Su Xiumei was even so moved that her eyes turned red.
The death of her old friend had always been an indelible shadow in her heart; for her, Lin Wanwan's change in attitude toward them could be considered a way to let those shadows dissipate.
From now on, they would truly be mother and daughter.
It could also be considered an explanation to her friend in the afterlife.
When dinner was over, Lin Xiao couldn't help but rub his hands and ask, "Eldest Sister, didn't you say you prepared gifts for us?"
"Ah, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!"
Lin Chuge gave a wicked smile and took out two large paper bags from the side.
Judging by the looks of it, they seemed to be clothes.
It was about what Lin Xiao had expected.
But unexpectedly, after opening the boxes in the paper bags, he discovered that they were actually two dresses!
The material of the dresses was very good, and under the lights, they looked radiant.
The style and tailoring were also top-notch, and one look told you they were worth a fortune.
"So pretty!"
When Lin Wanwan saw the dresses, her eyes went straight.
There isn't a single girl who doesn't like little dresses, especially a girl like Lin Wanwan, who spent all year in a semi-closed school and wore a school uniform all day long.
Seeing such pretty dresses, she was so fond of them that she couldn't take her eyes off them.
She immediately wanted to go and try them on.
But Lin Xiao froze in place and asked awkwardly, "Uh, Eldest Sister, did you... buy the wrong ones?"
"No, it's your size. What? Don't you like them?"
Lin Chuge asked with a smile.
"No, it's just... I'm a boy, why would I wear a dress?"
Lin Xiao couldn't hold it together anymore.
He had previously sensed the mischief in his eldest sister's smile; sure enough, nothing good ever came of it!
Lin Chuge looked him up and down with a smile, "I just saw that you've been quite happy wearing women's clothing lately!"
"I..."
Now that she mentioned it, Lin Xiao actually realized that he seemed to have adapted to wearing women's clothing recently.
Taking off the wig so suddenly, he even felt a bit unaccustomed to it.
And looking at that dress, it even seemed a bit... pretty?
Should he try it on?
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
He was truly done for!
Sensing that terrifying thought in his mind, Lin Xiao immediately shook his head violently.
He had heard before that there are some things that only happen zero times or countless times.
And wearing women's clothing is one of them!
No, he must control himself!
Pretending to be unhappy, he dropped the dress and turned to walk upstairs to his room.
Perhaps because his acting was quite convincing, after he returned to his bedroom, his phone received a transfer notification.
Five hundred thousand, sent by his eldest sister.
Immediately following it was another message.
He originally thought it was because he acted too well, and his eldest sister thought he was genuinely angry, so she was apologizing to him.
Unexpectedly, his eldest sister actually wanted him to go to the company tomorrow!
A capitalist!
Simply a wicked capitalist!
Lin Xiao wanted to refuse without even thinking, but he discovered that his eldest sister had sent another picture of a contract.
After zooming in carefully, he saw that it was a contract regarding land development.
The address on it looked somewhat familiar.
Recalling the memory, Lin Xiao remembered that this was exactly the land surrounding the area he had chosen when The Lin Couple wanted to gift him a house before.
He remembered that at the time, the system told him that the land here would definitely appreciate in value.
Unexpectedly, they had actually bought such a large piece of land, and it had indeed appreciated in value.
Looking at the contract, Lin Xiao couldn't help but think: could his eldest sister be asking him to go to the company tomorrow because she wanted to gift him this entire piece of land?
That was a massive amount of money!
Although he wanted to lie flat, when a pie fell from the sky, there was no reason for him not to even open his mouth.
...
The next day, Lin Xiao got up bright and early and went to the company with Lin Chuge.
When he happily flipped through the documents sent by the assistant, the smile on his face gradually faded.
"What, what are all these?"
On the desk, documents were piled up like a mountain.
He had originally thought it was just a simple arrangement that would allow him to make big money later, but he didn't expect it to involve so many things.
The level of complexity far exceeded his imagination.
"I have discussed it with Mom and Dad; all development rights for this piece of land are handed over to you. This is just the initial project selection; only after you choose can we proceed with the next steps of the arrangement."
Shrewdness flashed in Lin Chuge's long, narrow eyes.
She was not lying; the reason they were able to buy this piece of land was thanks to Lin Xiao.
Therefore, they were also very willing to hand this land over to Lin Xiao.
But letting Lin Xiao select the projects was because of Lin Xiao's inner voice that could predict the future.
They believed that as long as it was a project chosen by Lin Xiao, there would definitely be no problems!
Lin Xiao flipped through the documents, his head spinning.
How would he understand any of this?
While he was hesitating, the system in his mind chimed in at the right moment.
Lin Xiao's eyes immediately lit up, and no longer bothering to read the content on the documents carefully, he picked up the pen nearby and started circling items.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chuge was even happier.
Her younger brother was indeed the lucky star of the Lin family!
However, the number of these documents was simply too large. Even with the system's prompts, Lin Xiao had been slogging away for over two hours and had only completed half.
He felt sore all over and insisted on taking a break first, no matter what.
Not waiting for Lin Chuge to react, he fled out the door.
Fearing being dragged back by Lin Chuge, Lin Xiao ducked straight into the Restroom.
Sitting on the toilet, he leisurely played on his phone.
But just at this moment, he suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from outside the toilet.
It seemed like someone was lingering there.
This feeling made him very uneasy, so he carefully opened the stall door and peeked outside.
However, as soon as his head poked out halfway, someone pushed him back in.
To be precise, he was forcefully shoved back by a soft object!
