94: Chapter 94 As expected, she's a big star.

Lin Xiao and the woman locked eyes.

"Lin Xiao?"

"Lin Ran?"

Both of them spoke almost in unison.

At the same time, they both realized the other's identity.

This mysterious and furtive woman turned out to be the Lin family's fifth daughter, Lin Ran!

In other words, Lin Xiao's Fifth Sister.

Realizing this, Lin Xiao finally understood the events from before.

Lin Ran was a popular star; the reason she was dressed like this and acting so furtively was likely because she didn't want her whereabouts discovered.

And the people looking for her in the restroom weren't bad guys or police, but paparazzi...

"Ahem, so it's Fifth Sister. No wonder you looked familiar, hehe!"

Lin Xiao carefully leaned in, wanting to take his clothes back.

But Lin Ran immediately grabbed the clothes and said coldly, "Since you dislike them so much, I'll throw them away for you. Don't worry, I'll buy you a new one."

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao looked at Lin Ran's stiff face and was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

Could it be that big stars all have such big tempers?

He hadn't done it on purpose, and he could be considered to have helped her, so was it really worth getting angry over?

"Lin Ran!"

Lin Chuge seemed to have thought of something, sat down next to Lin Ran, and whispered, "I've already told you about the incident with Lin Yu. It has nothing to do with A-Xiao. I know you and Lin Yu are close, but..."

Before Lin Chuge could finish, Lin Ran gently patted her hand.

Lin Chuge had been worried that Lin Ran might vent her anger on Lin Xiao because of Lin Yu.

After all, unlike Lin Wanwan, who kept a certain distance from the family and remained calm no matter what happened, Lin Ran was different.

Lin Ran had always had a good relationship with Lin Yu. Even though she was away for years, she would occasionally bring back expensive gifts for Lin Yu when she returned home.

Lin Ran had also come suddenly this time without giving any heads-up, so Lin Chuge hadn't had time to explain the detailed situation to her.

They were all children of the Lin family; if something unpleasant happened, it would likely sadden their parents.

But Lin Ran didn't give Lin Chuge a chance to speak; she stood up and slowly walked over to Lin Xiao.

She looked him up and down, her gaze constantly shifting.

"Tsk tsk, how long have you been back home, and you've already captured the hearts of Mom and Dad... Oh, wait, and Eldest Sister, Second Sister, and Sixth Sister too!"

Lin Ran's voice betrayed no emotion.

It was unclear whether she was being sarcastic or genuinely complimenting him.

Suddenly, Lin Ran slapped Lin Xiao on the shoulder and leaned in, saying, "I heard that you schemed to drive Lin Yu away!"

Lin Xiao turned his head slightly, meeting Lin Ran's lively eyes.

For some reason, he felt a hint of nervousness.

Seeing that exquisite and beautiful face getting closer and closer to his own, he quickly stepped back twice.

"W-what are you trying to do?"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Lin Xiao's slightly flustered appearance, Lin Ran couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Her previous seriousness and ferocity vanished in an instant.

Her face looked even more bright and flamboyant.

"Oh my, look how scared you are. Come, come, come, sit over here!"

Lin Ran grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and brought him to sit back down on the sofa.

She was all over him, touching Lin Xiao's shoulders one moment and poking his abs the next.

"Not bad, really not bad! This physique is much better than those skinny dogs in the industry!"

Lin Ran looked as if she were appraising a product, her eyes full of satisfaction. "Little brother, are you interested in working with me? Big Sister guarantees to make you famous across the country!"

Lin Xiao was a bit dazed by Lin Ran's sudden change.

It was Lin Chuge who reacted first; she slapped Lin Ran's hand away and said displeasedly, "Watch your paws! This is your younger brother, what are you touching him for!"

Lin Ran was unfazed. "It's exactly because he's my younger brother that I can touch him! If I went out on the street and touched someone else, that person would call the police."

After speaking, she looked at Lin Xiao with a smile. "Little brother, don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes... uh, no!"

Lin Xiao suddenly realized what was happening and scooted to the side, putting enough space between himself and Lin Ran for two or three people.

What he didn't dare to say was that if this continued, he would want to call the police too.

Before this, he had seen interviews about Lin Ran on various entertainment news outlets.

In front of the camera, Lin Ran was noble and cold, and with her exquisite features, she was simply a flower of wealth in the human world.

But looking at her now, why did it feel like her persona was about to collapse?

Especially the expression she had when she pretended to be angry; one couldn't see any flaws at all.

Was this the acting skill of a popular big star?

As Lin Xiao pondered, Lin Ran was still chattering away.

"Oh, little brother, don't be so distant! I'm your sister, your own dear sister!"

"A-Xiao, hey, that's a nice name too."

"A-Xiao, A-Xiao, let Sister touch your abs!"

"..."

Lin Xiao hid in the corner.

Helpless, weak.

Fortunately, Lin Chuge sat directly between the two and grabbed Lin Ran's hand, which was ready to probe over at any moment. "Lin Ran, regarding Lin Yu, do you really not blame A-Xiao?"

Seeing Lin Chuge ask seriously, Lin Ran simply stopped hiding it.

A flash of disgust crossed her eyes, and she pouted. "Don't even mention him. I've long been annoyed by that kid Lin Yu. Before, I was afraid Mom and Dad would worry, so I couldn't be bothered to keep up appearances with him!"

"Huh?"

This answer was something Lin Chuge hadn't expected.

Lin Ran rolled her eyes. "That kid is barely a man; he's just a total green tea. He acts all high and mighty outside all day, and then comes home and starts acting. You guys are just gullible to be fooled by him. I saw through him a long time ago!"

Lin Chuge opened her mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

Here she was, the dignified president of the Lin Corporation, one of the top figures in the entire Beijing business circle.

In Lin Ran's eyes, was she actually a fool?
