Others were afraid of the Yan family and feared Shang Jingtian. But Lin Huayin didn't care about it. Even when Shang Yao's brother Yan Gong took the initiative to express his love to Lin Huayin, Lin Huayin poured a bucket of cold water on him and made him tremble. He returned in failure.
At the end of the day, Lin Huayin never flaunted her family matters, but she was born with it. That's right. Shang Yao had the support of her father, Shang Jingtian, so few people in Yan Jin dared to offend her. Even if Lin Xiaozhu beat her, she might not be able to pass the test safely. However, compared to Lin Huayin, this little princess of the Yan family was slightly lacking in terms of foundation.
Why?
Shang Yao only had the support of her father, Shang Jingtian. Whether it was her second uncle or third aunt, they all relied on Shang Jingtian to get the status they had today. And her grandfather, Yan Shichang, who used to be famous, was now old and not as brave as he used to be. So in the end, all the protection and halo that Shang Yao enjoyed only came from Shang Jingtian.
And what about Lin Huayin?
She not only had a father who was comparable to Shang Jingtian, but also a mother who was known as the Queen of Yan Jin. Behind her mother was the powerful Ye family!
The Lin family. The Yan family. The Ye family. And the Jiang family. They were the four most powerful families in Yan Jin. Their interests were intertwined, not only in the business world, but also in the military and the government. They were the real rich and powerful families.
Lin Huayin alone occupied both the Lin and Ye families. One was her father, and the other was her mother's maiden family. No matter how powerful Shang Yao is, how can Lin Huayin make a fuss like Lin Xiaozhu?
Again, Lin Huayin did not show off, nor did she use her family's affairs to feel superior. However, it was undeniable that Lin Huayin, who shared the same bed with Xiao Zheng, was indeed the richest woman in Yan Jing. She was truly the favored daughter of the heavens.
"Let's eat."
Auntie Dong came to the living room and greeted the three young people who were chatting happily with a smile. His eyes were filled with love. On the other hand, although Lin Huayin hated her father's betrayal, she was still polite to Auntie Dong, who was a mistress. They were not as irreconcilable as in the novels on TV. At the very least, he was able to maintain the calm on the surface.
Xiao Zheng and his group arrived at the dining hall. After they took their seats, Lin Xiaozhu shouted that he was hungry and wanted to eat first. But as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Lin Chaotian, who came down from upstairs, scolded with a straight face, "No rules."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiaozhu quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks. She was quite afraid.
Usually, she was the only girl in Yan Jing and even Hua Xia who dared to smile with Lin Chaotian. Even Auntie Dong had always been respectful to her and did not dare to cross the line. But once Lin Chaotian lost his temper or his face was not right. Lin Xiaozhu did not dare to be arrogant and act recklessly.
When Lin Chaotian was angry, ghosts and gods were afraid.
Although Auntie Dong was Lin Xiaozhu's biological mother, she never dared to participate in her husband's discipline of his children, nor did she dare to persuade him. Because she knew that Lin Chaotian would not lose his temper for no reason, let alone bring home the resentment from work.
He must have a reason to scold Lin Xiaozhu.
The dining hall, which was full of cheerful factors, immediately became depressed after Lin Chaotian appeared. Even Xiao Zheng, an outsider, was quite restless.
After Lin Chaotian took his seat, he didn't immediately move his chopsticks. He just stared at Lin Xiaozhu with a cold expression until Lin Xiaozhu's face was full of panic. Then he said indifferently, "Say it."
Lin Xiaozhu's little face was full of grievance. She pouted and said, "Daddy, what do you want me to say?"
"Just say what you did," Lin Chaotian said lightly. He was not angry but dignified.
"I didn't do anything —" Lin Xiaozhu said with grievance.
"Nothing?" Lin Chaotian snorted coldly, which made Lin Xiaozhu tremble.
In Lin Xiaozhu's heart, Lin Chaotian was both a loving father and a strict father. When nothing happened, no matter how she made trouble, Lin Chaotian would not be angry. If she made trouble, even if she acted coquettishly and wronged, Lin Chaotian would not give her a good face. More than ten years of experience made Lin Xiaozhu understand that tonight's meal was probably unavoidable.
"I hit Shang Yao —" Lin Xiaozhu said with a muffled voice.
"Louder!" Lin Chaotian said in a low voice.
Lin Xiaozhu's face was pale, her eyes dodged and said, "I hit Shang Yao. I slapped her. "
"Why?" Lin Chaotian stared at Lin Xiaozhu with his torch-like eyes. "Subjective explanation."
"She insulted Qiu Bai. I couldn't stand it, "Lin Xiaozhu paused and added with a panicked expression. "She even scolded me, she scolded daddy —"
"So you hit her?" Lin Chaotian asked coldly.
"Yes," Lin Xiaozhu answered honestly. "I couldn't stand it, so I slapped her."
"Give me the ruler," Lin Chaotian said coldly.
"Huh?"
Lin Xiaozhu's legs softened and she almost fell. Her eyes were filled with tears of grievance, she lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Didn't you hear me?" Lin Chaotian stared at Lin Xiaozhu coldly.
"Daddy —" Lin Xiaozhu felt wronged.
The ruler was the family rule set by Lin Chaotian. If she made a mistake, she would hit her palm. If it was light, ten. If it was heavy, thirty. Lin Xiaozhu once made a huge mistake and was hit thirty times in the middle of winter. She ate with a spoon for half a month and couldn't even hold chopsticks steadily. From then on, Lin Xiaozhu didn't dare to cause trouble at home or in Yanjing, afraid of being punished by Lin Chaotian.
Now, in front of the whole family, her daddy was going to hit her with the ruler again. This made Lin Xiaozhu feel wronged and scared, she also felt like she lost face.
She was going to be eighteen soon. As someone who was about to become an adult, how could her father still use the same methods he used to teach her? Especially in front of her brother-in-law. Wasn't this treating her like a kid?
Lin Xiaozhu was scared and sullen, she was too ashamed to show her face.
"Take it!" Lin Chaotian shouted.
Lin Xiaozhu was immediately softened after being shouted like this. Just as she was about to take the ruler, she heard Xiao Zheng say, "Uncle Lin, don't blame Xiaozhu today. Actually, it's not Xiaozhu's fault today. It was Shang Yao who provoked us first. "
Lin Chaotian glanced at Xiao Zheng, "So she can hit people?"
"Shang Yao did it first." Xiao Zheng explained.
"Why did she do it first?" Lin Chaotian asked. "Is she sick?"
"This —" Xiao Zheng was speechless. He thought: It was indeed Lin Xiaozhu who provoked first, and Shang Yao couldn't help but do it. However, the whole process was taught by Xiao Zheng step by step. If she was really punished, she had to take it for her sister-in-law.
"I instigated Xiaozhu to do this." Xiao Zheng braced himself and said.
"Oh." Lin Chaotian said lightly and suddenly looked back at Lin Xiaozhu. He stared. "What are you doing? Go and get it. "
Lin Xiaozhu thought that with her brother-in-law's help, this matter would be over. But who would have thought that her daddy would just say "oh" and hit her. She was completely desperate and went to get the ruler with a pale face.
