23: Lin Xuan's white moonlight appears? Bai Susu!

“Smack!!!”

A loud slap echoed at the entrance of the Lin Family mansion, drawing shocked gazes from countless powerful and wealthy individuals.

I was hit?

I was slapped again?!

Feeling the burning pain on his cheek, where old wounds hadn't healed and new ones were added, Lin Hao's heart surged with raging anger.

He wished he could grind Brother Lin Xuan, who was a head taller than him, into dust.

But his rationality told him… he should seize this opportunity to let the powerful families of Modu see Brother Lin Xuan’s “violent” nature.

“Brother, why did you suddenly hit me?”

“Are you still holding a grudge from last time, when you pushed me down the stairs but I didn’t die?”

“If hitting me makes you feel better, then hit me… As long as Brother is happy, Xiao Hao has no regrets…”,

“Because… you are my favorite Brother…”

“…”

Lin Hao’s eyes were bloodshot, and combined with his delicate, scholarly face, he looked utterly wronged.

He had originally thought that in front of so many influential people, Brother Lin Xuan would at least show some restraint and consider his reputation.

But he never expected… the other party completely ignored the usual etiquette.

Instead, as if he was bothered by something, Brother Lin Xuan covered his nose and walked up to him, then proceeded to deliver a series of powerful wall slams.

“Ding! Host and Lin Hao ‘Slap’ intimate interaction, reward 2 points.”

“Ding! Host and Lin Hao ‘Slap’ intimate interaction, reward 3 points.”

“Ding! Host and Lin Hao ‘Slap’ intimate interaction, reward 2 points.”

“Ding! Host and Lin Hao ‘Slap’ intimate interaction, reward 3 points.”

…Very good.

Even a small mosquito is still meat!

Listening to the system prompts in his mind, Brother Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

He was really short on ‘intimate interaction’ points right now.

Since Lin Hao actively came forward to offer them, he would gladly accept.

As for what other people in Modu thought?

The so-called bad reputation?!

None of my business!

Brother Lin Xuan didn't care.

These fickle people might be friendly with the Lin Family today, but tomorrow they could be fawning over the Su Family, the Ye Family, the Wang Family… Anyway, he already had the title of ‘violent maniac,’ so he might as well use it to the fullest. If they didn't like it, they could fight him.

And at this moment,

Lin Hao was already dazed by the continuous wall slams, feeling as if the world was spinning.

He had wanted to endure it, to see if any kind-hearted person would step forward to “speak out for justice.”

But after more than a dozen wall slams, Lin Hao’s front teeth were loose.

Still, no kind-hearted person appeared… Instead, many onlookers, gloating, raised their phones to record videos.

These bastards!

Do they have no sympathy at all?!

Lin Hao cursed inwardly, but he knew it was better to rely on himself than on others.

He finally chose to retreat, backing away repeatedly until he hid behind a pillar.

Only his bruised and swollen head peered out, and with a lisp from his loose teeth, he pleaded:

“Bro… Brother, stop hitting me. Today, my Cousin Su Su… is also here.”

“She hates… violence… If you do this, she’ll get angry…”

Su Su?

Hearing that name, Brother Lin Xuan was first startled.

Then, after a brief thought, he remembered who she was… Bai Susu.

The former body’s crush.

Bai Yuelan’s niece, Lin Hao’s Cousin.

And the Bai Family was a small third-tier family.

Over the years, by leeching off the Lin Family, they had grown considerably.

“Hehe…”

“What crush, just a white lotus.”

Brother Lin Xuan scoffed.

In the plot setting,

The former body, due to his scumbag father, gradually became dark and lonely inside.

During this process, he met Bai Susu, who was visiting her Uncle.

Her innocence and naivety made the former body unconsciously want to get closer, and he gradually fell in love with her.

Over time,

The former body came to see Bai Susu as a kind of psychological anchor, obeying her every word.

In front of others, the former body might have been a ticking time bomb, easily provoked.

But in front of Bai Susu, he became a gentle and shy little lamb.

In the plot,

The former body eventually unconditionally transferred 30% of his shares to Lin Hao, simply because he wanted to make his crush happy… “This plot is too cliché. What crush, in the end, isn't this just a simp?”

“Damn it. Whoever wants to be a simp can be one, but I certainly won’t be.”

After reviewing the former body’s memories, Brother Lin Xuan felt a burst of annoyance.

He also lost interest in dealing with Lin Hao, so he lifted his foot and walked into the banquet hall entrance.

【He left?】

【Sure enough, only Cousin can control him.】

【That bastard is still afraid of Cousin getting angry, which is why he controlled his temper and left.】

【I need to ask Cousin for a favor…】

【As long as I get the shares from that bastard, I won’t have to suffer this kind of humiliation again.】

…Seeing Brother Lin Xuan’s back disappear,

Lin Hao seemed to have grasped the other party’s weakness, and a confident smile reappeared on his lips.

He understood!!!

The current Brother Lin Xuan was someone even Lin Jianjun was subtly unable to suppress.

But a simp would always be a simp; such an existence could never defy his beautiful mistress.

As long as his Cousin was still around, he would inherently be in an unbeatable position.

Lin Hao thought, a triumphant smile on his face.

He strode quickly towards the door, mentally preparing himself as he ran.

He pondered how to express his grievances and cry to Bai Susu later, so she would properly teach Brother Lin Xuan a lesson for him… “The battle of the young masters of the wealthy families, is it over already?”

“Quick, quick, quick! Follow them in, this drama is too exciting. It’s worth the expensive gift I sent!”

“I heard Bai Susu is also here today. In front of her, surely that kid Brother Lin Xuan wouldn’t dare to act crazy, right?”

“Needless to say, Bai Susu is, after all, considered one of Modu’s four beauties.”

“Let alone hot-blooded young men, even this old man feels a bit unable to control his surging affections…”

“…”

At the entrance,

Numerous wealthy and influential people, eager for a spectacle,

chatted and laughed as they swarmed into the door… On the other side, inside the banquet hall,

In a certain lounge,

Lin Jianjun and Bai Yuelan were recounting recent events to a beautiful young girl.

The girl was Bai Susu.

She wore a white princess dress, and her harmless, innocent smile gave her the pure and beautiful feeling of a first love.

“Uncle, Uncle. Did Brother Lin Xuan really hit Cousin?”

“But he pinky-swore with me before that he wouldn’t use violence anymore.”

After hearing Bai Yuelan and his description,

Bai Susu blinked her large eyes, asking in disbelief.

She had been traveling in Sakura Country recently and had only just returned home yesterday, so she was completely unaware of the changes that had occurred in the Lin Family.

Looking at her niece’s naive and innocent gaze,

Bai Yuelan sighed deeply, on the verge of tears:

“It’s not Xiao Xuan’s fault; it’s all Xiao Hao and my mistake.”

“It must be something we, mother and son, did wrong, which made Xiao Xuan angry.”

“Su Su, later, please persuade Xiao Xuan for your Uncle. He always listens to you the most. Ask him to come home early!”

“Worst case, I’ll take Xiao Hao and leave. I don’t want to see Xiao Xuan and Lin Jianjun, father and son, fall out like this because of us, mother and son…”

“…”
