Before Lian Chuchu came to the Lian family, Lian Jin was an excellent young man. The head of the Lian family was extremely satisfied with his son and often heard others praise him, which naturally made him happy.

But now that his sister is born, his son doesn't know how to be tolerant and always makes things difficult for Lian Chuchu, which greatly disappoints the head of the Lian family.

Lian Jin didn't say a word, nor did he bother to explain. Those who believe in you will believe in you no matter what, and those who don't believe in you will find it futile to explain.

The Lian family head was caught off guard and filled with anger. He spoke up:

"Since that's the case, I will announce this in front of everyone today: Lian Jin is vicious at heart and cannot tolerate his own sister. He is truly unfit for this important task, and I have decided..."

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Lin Youyou, Nan Zhi, Qin Xier and the others squeezed into the crowd and saw the Lian family members surrounded by the crowd.

Upon hearing Lin Youyou speak, the Lin family head glanced at her, "Dad is fine, it's you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Youyou ran towards Lian Jin as if she hadn't seen him at all.

"Dad, who bullied you? I'll avenge you."

Standing with his hands on his hips in front of Lian Jin, he spoke angrily.

Patriarch Lin: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Nanzhi couldn't bear to look anymore. Youyou is a true warrior, calling Lian Jin "Dad" in front of so many people. Amazing!

"Patriarch Lin, is this your daughter? Why is she calling the Lian family's boy 'Dad'?"

A question posed by someone nearby immediately made the Lin family head feel ashamed.

His face darkened, and he said to Lin Youyou:

"Youyou, stop fooling around, come here."

Lin Youyou saw the head of the Lin family, her face expressionless. "Dad, I'm not going over there."

Patriarch Lin: "......"

Lin Feifan couldn't bear the thought of his sister calling someone only three or four years older than him "Dad," so he looked at Lin Youyou with a cold face:

"Youyou, this has nothing to do with you. Come here."

Lin Youyou shook her head and refused to go over. This was the time for her to repay her savior, and she couldn't abandon him.

Looking at the girl standing in front of him, although he couldn't see her face, Lian Jin could see her determination. For him, she disregarded her father and brother and stood in front of him wholeheartedly to protect him from the wind and rain.

At this moment, Lian Jin's heart was pounding more fiercely than ever before. Never before had he felt so warm, and he even had an impulse to pull the girl into his arms.

Nan Zhi stroked her chin and stood in front of the crowd with Qin Xi'er, watching Lin Youyou's actions. They were both a little moved. When this silly girl truly cared for someone, she really wanted to give her whole heart.

Suddenly, Nan Zhi noticed a gaze on her. She looked up and saw Shen Xingmian standing next to Lian Jin. She winked at him playfully, and a hint of pleasure flashed in the man's eyes.

"This has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way, and your uncle won't make things difficult for you."

Knowing he was a child of the Lin family, even the patriarch's tone wasn't so harsh, so Lin Youyou ignored him and shook her head, saying:

"Uncle, what did my dad do wrong that you're saying that about him?"

The Lian family head said, "...What are you doing, child? How could you call me 'Dad'? Lian Jin."

Lin Youyou spoke indifferently:

"You don't need to worry about this. You just need to tell him what mistake he made."

Having no other choice, the head of the Lian family recounted how Lian Jin had bullied Lian Chuchu.

"I don't believe it. Even Chu Chu loves to pretend to be weak. She must have fallen down on her own."

After listening, Lin Youyou shook her head and stated her thoughts directly, causing Lian Chuchu's expression to stiffen slightly.

"How could she have fallen by herself? It was clearly Lian Jin who pushed her." The Lian family head was furious and didn't want to say anything more to a little girl. Instead, he continued what he had just said.

"Everyone here, be my witness, I will re-evaluate my position as the next head of the Lian family..."

"Brother Chen?"

A crisp sound rang out, and Xu Jing, who was standing in the crowd watching the commotion, subconsciously turned his gaze toward the source of the sound. He saw that his younger sister had already run toward Shen Xingmian, looking excited.

Nan Zhi was clearly taken aback when she saw Xu Yao; she hadn't expected to see her today.

Shen Xingmian glanced at Xu Yao coldly, without saying a word.

Even Chu Chu was stunned. So, the man Xu Yao was calling out to was Shen Xingmian from the Shen family?

She was in a completely incredulous state at the moment. She had previously claimed that Nan Zhi still had feelings for Lin Feifan, but now she was Shen Xingmian's fiancée.

Who is this person?

Someone in the crowd asked about the unfamiliar face they had never seen before.

The girls who came with Xu Yao began to explain with pride, "She is the goddaughter of the old man of the Shen family."

"The Shen family? Is it the Shen family I'm thinking of?"

"Of course, what else did you think? Yao Yao is very powerful. Her family is the Xu family of Yuecheng. Some people should know that it is the largest family in Yuecheng."

Someone in the crowd gasped. This is incredible! Leaving aside the Xu family, the Shen family alone is astonishing enough.

"Wait, what did she just call that man?"

"If I heard correctly, it's Brother Shen, and his surname is Shen."

"Hiss, so this is the head of the Shen family?"

"It should be right. I feel like it looks familiar. I've seen it from afar once before."

......

The discussion among the crowd was lively, and Shen Xingmian immediately became the focus of the entire event.

His brows furrowed in displeasure as he looked at the excited Xu Yao with an extremely cold gaze. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and the chill on his face could not be dispelled, causing Xu Yao to pause in her steps, frightened by Shen Xingmian's expression.

Nan Zhi glanced at Shen Xingmian, then turned her gaze back to Xu Yao, because everyone knew Shen Xingmian's identity from just one sentence.

It is clear that Xu Yao must have told others about her relationship with the Shen family before.

"Yaoyao, is he your brother from the Shen family?"

Lian Chuchu couldn't help but ask a question, which brought Xu Yao back to her senses. She turned around to face Lian Chuchu, finally avoiding Shen Xingmian's gaze.

Her expression was somewhat stiff, but she gave Lian Chuchu a faint smile:

"Uh-huh."

Lian Chuchu couldn't help but stare at Shen Xingmian. It turned out that he was the head of the Shen family. It was said that he had taken over the Shen family when he was twenty-three years old.

When the Lian family head heard that the man standing next to Lian Jin was actually the head of the Shen family, he was stunned for a long time until Lian Chuchu reached out and pulled him, "Father, it was my own fault for not standing properly, please don't blame my eldest brother anymore."

His understanding explanation brought the Lian family head back to his senses. He coughed and looked at Lian Jin, saying:

"Since your sister has said so, let's just let this matter drop."

Lian Jin had become accustomed to his father's behavior.

“No, even Chu Chu said that she lost her balance. Uncle Lian, don’t you owe my father an explanation? You wronged him, you must apologize.”

Lin Youyou stood with her hands on her hips, looking furious. She glared at Lian Chuchu, then her gaze fell on the Lian family head, and she passionately expressed her thoughts.
