Chapter 20 Lin Yuan's Secret

Xia Xiaomo and Ran Ran reacted very quickly and subconsciously turned their heads to dodge, but Xu Ruchu was half a step slow in reacting and the dagger stabbed straight at her!

She didn't have time to think and quickly reached out to block it.

"Be careful! Get to the side!"

"Xiaoxi, you're crazy!"

Her ears were filled with the shouts of her friends and Lin Yuan, and her legs seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move at all in panic.

Just when Xu Ruchu thought she was going to die, she was suddenly pulled to the side by a force, avoiding the fate of being scratched.

She raised her eyes and saw Gu Yixiao's stern face staring at the "murderer" with a cold and icy gaze.

He stretched out his hand and swung the sharp knife, and it fell straight to the ground.

"Cousin..."

Xu Ruochu was stunned and stared at him blankly.

"Why don't you know how to hide? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

The man scolded softly, his voice harsh but his eyes full of concern.

When Lin Yuan saw Gu Yixiao suddenly rushing out and the person who was protecting him by holding his wrist, he was shocked and a feeling of jealousy surged in his heart, but he remained calm and went forward to meet him.

"Ah Xiao, thank goodness you're here. If my sister had hurt your sister, how would I have explained this to the elders? Luckily nothing happened!"

The tone of her voice was deliberately full of amazement and coquettishness. Then she took his arm and looked at Xu Ruchu with a sad face, as if silently declaring her sovereignty.

Ran Ran and Xia Xiaomo were worried about their friend, so they quickly stood beside Xu Ruochu to check if he was injured. When they saw the interaction between Gu Yixiao and Lin Yuan, they couldn't help rolling their eyes.

This Lin Yuan is really a scheming bitch!

Ran Ran thought about it and couldn't help muttering, "In hindsight, you were the closest to her at the time, so why didn't I see you hold on to your sister?"

Xu Ruochu didn't want to cause any more conflicts or misunderstandings, so he quickly pulled his hand out of Gu Yixiao's and whispered to his two friends, "Xiao Ran, Xiao Mo, it's okay, let's go."

Having said that, she immediately turned and walked away.

Ran Ran and Xia Xiaomo looked at each other, and called Huo Ran to follow.

They also felt that the most important thing now was to leave here first, so as not to see the two sisters of the Lin family who were an eyesore.

Gu Yixiao looked at the backs of Xu Ruochu and Huo Ran walking away side by side, and a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, turned his head and glared coldly at Lin Yuan who was standing in front of him: "You guys should leave too, and take good care of your sister from now on."

After saying that, he walked out with his long legs.

"Axiao! Wait for me!" Lin Yuan quickly chased after him.

She jogged along until she finally caught up with him and put her arm around his arm again.

"I'm sorry, Xiao. I didn't know Xiaoxi suddenly returned to China and got into trouble. Don't worry, I promise to educate her well."

"Yeah." The man's voice sounded indifferent, without a trace of emotion, as if he didn't take these words to heart at all.

His gaze was always looking forward, with a deep look in his eyes.

"Ah Xiao, are you angry?" Lin Yuan saw that he ignored her and couldn't help but hesitate to speak:

"I, I know my sister did something very extreme today, but she didn't mean to do it. If your cousin gets surprised, I can take full responsibility..."

"No. It's not your fault. Everyone in the circle knows what kind of personality Lin Xi has." Gu Yixiao replied.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had just deliberately added a sentence about being responsible to Xu Ruochu, actually testing him to see if he had any other feelings for his "cousin".

Judging from his performance now, it seems that he has no special reaction to Xu Ruchu.

Lin Yuan thought to herself: It seems like she was worrying too much again.

"Okay, Xiao, I won't bother you going to the company. Goodbye."

She was in a good mood, and then she looked reasonable, smiling and waving goodbye to him.

Gu Yixiao glanced at her indifferently and left without stopping.

Lin Yuan stood there and watched until he saw Gu Yixiao get into the car and drive away.

A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

But soon, this dazzling smile was interrupted by Lin Xi.

"Sister, do you know why I came back suddenly?"

Lin Xi crossed his arms and looked at her provocatively.

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

What does this idiot want to do now!

But she quickly calmed down: "I don't know."

"Because I discovered your secret and want to confirm it with you in person." Lin Xi tilted her head slightly, revealing a row of neat and white teeth.

Her words instantly alerted Lin Yuan. She widened her eyes, a little surprised: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Sister, don't deny it. I was able to be adopted because of you, right?"

"Oh? What kind of secret is this?" Lin Yuan was panicked. "It's something that my parents know about, but outsiders don't know."

Lin Xi's gaze passed over her and fell on the direction where Gu Yixiao was walking. The smile on the corner of her lips deepened, with a hint of calculation.

"But your biological sister was lost on purpose by you. Your parents didn't know this, right? So you suggested that they secretly find me in the orphanage, born on the same day as your biological sister, to replace her as the Second Miss of the Lin family."

"...What nonsense are you talking about? You really have a fancy for it! I was only six or seven at the time, I didn't understand anything. After I accidentally lost my sister, I cried for days and nights."

Lin Yuan's face turned pale, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes. She hid it well, so no one noticed.

"Really? You know it best in your heart... But if the hush money is paid in full, then I'm just talking nonsense!" Lin Xi laughed sarcastically and continued, "Of course, if the money is not paid in full, then I will have more than one secret."

“…” Lin Yuan pursed her lips. She felt guilty, but still pretended to be calm.

How could she possibly admit it?!

"After all this time, you're just short of money, so you're deliberately slandering and threatening me?" She glanced at her sister sarcastically and said with a sneer:

"Do you think that if my parents knew about this, they would believe what you, their adopted daughter, said?"

"Oh, you forgot what I just said. I still have a secret that you can't tell anyone! It's..."

"Some time ago, when you were just getting engaged to your future brother-in-law, you excitedly went on a trip abroad and ended up doing something wrong... If your fiancé knew about this, do you think he would forgive you?"

"That's enough!" Lin Yuan's face changed instantly, his eyes full of panic.

There is no way that anyone else could know about the incident that happened when she was traveling abroad!

impossible!

"Hey, sister, give me some more money and I'll keep these two things to myself! What do you think? You know I don't like staying in China at all, and I won't contact my parents or relatives, let alone tell them to anyone, so you give me the money and I'll leave."

Lin Xi showed a confident expression, pulled her sleeve and shook it to please her.
