Chapter 172 I am your backer
"Brother! Why are you pulling me like that!" Lin Xiao protested indignantly. "What did I say wrong?"
"What do you want to do?" Lin Yi tossed her aside into a corner.
Lin Xiao composed herself and straightened her clothes, which he had messed up.
Their emotions plummeted to rock bottom.
Lin Yi never cared about Lin Xiao's affairs before, nor did she bother to.
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just stating the facts. What? Just because Luo Shu was able to rise to power doesn't mean people can't talk about it?" Lin Xiao remained arrogant and rude.
"How can someone so young say such things?" Lin Yi frowned.
She has completely disgraced the Lin family.
"Isn't that so?"
"No!" Lin Yi exclaimed angrily, hands on her hips.
Her parents can't control her, and if I don't take care of her too, she'll become unruly.
Lin Xiao was startled by Lin Yi's tone. From childhood to adulthood, Lin Yi had rarely interfered in her affairs. As long as she didn't embarrass him, he generally wouldn't show up.
But when he shows up, it's probably not going to be anything good.
"Lin Xiao, do you even think before you act?" Lin Yi couldn't help but scold, "We've given you so much money to study, and all that knowledge has gone to waste! Even your great-grandmother in her grave has a more advanced mindset than you!"
"Brother! You're cursing me for someone who's not related to you by blood? You're the one who's out of your mind!" Lin Xiao didn't listen to what Lin Yi said at all, and instead became even angrier.
"I'm just stating the facts and sticking to reason, not personal connections. Besides, the Yu family is my family too. You'd better show me some respect, or don't blame me for dealing with you when we get home!"
"Brother! I'm your own sister!"
"I'm only intervening because you're my sister; otherwise, I would have slapped you to death already!"
"..."
Lin Yi would never say such harsh words to her.
He hardly ever interferes in family matters, and his parents trust him completely.
Whenever Lin Yi speaks at home, Lin Xiao has no room to say anything.
The Lin family indulged Lin Xiao, but Lin Yi held a pivotal position in the family. He was intelligent, steady, and a sensible person whose words carried considerable weight.
Lin Xiao's eyes reddened.
Even her parents had never scolded her like that, yet Lin Yi actually made her cry.
Lin Yi didn't tolerate her, and her tone didn't soften. She continued, "Don't even think about my grandfather's will, or I'll have Mom and Dad send you abroad!"
"Why! Why does Luo Shu get everything without doing anything!" Lin Xiao's tears fell before she could finish speaking.
"Just because her surname is Luo!" Lin Yi warned in his eyes.
"Her mother was someone's mistress, so she's just an illegitimate child! She only got her position while Sister Su was away, so what's the difference between her and a mistress!"
Snap!
Lin Yi suddenly slapped her.
The force was considerable; Lin Xiao was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling over.
She covered her flushed face and looked at Lin Yi in disbelief.
"Brother! You hit me?" She smacked her lips tremblingly, and tears streamed down her face.
"I'm going to hit you!" Lin Yi gritted his teeth. He really was spoiled!
He said, "You actually believe what Su Ting says? Where was she when A Zhan was lying in the hospital back then? Don't you know these things?"
Lin Xiao was so frightened by the slap that she didn't dare to say a word.
She was simply jealous that Luo Shu had everything effortlessly, so many times, even though she knew something, she couldn't help but use it to disgust her.
"It's none of your business to judge your sister-in-law. You've already angered Grandpa to the point of hospitalization. If anything else happens in the family, Lin Xiao, this slap is just an appetizer!"
"Brother, how can you talk to me like that? Even Mom and Dad have never treated me like this..." Lin Xiao's voice was trembling with tears, but her tone softened considerably.
"I have even harsher things to say." Lin Yi snorted and suddenly glared at her.
Lin Xiao dared not speak anymore.
Lin Yi is a man of his word.
He left angrily, leaving Lin Xiao feeling shaken.
Lin Xiao felt sad. It was bad enough that her brother was protecting others, but now he was going to hit her instead, showing her no mercy at all.
What's so good about Luo Shu?

After Lin Yi walked out from the side, he saw Yu Hua walking towards him not far away.
She was wearing a light blue, loose-fitting dress, a smile playing on her lips. "Ayi."
Lin Yi composed himself, walked over to her, smiled, put his arm around her waist, and asked softly, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I woke up hungry and couldn't fall back asleep. I heard that Zhan is back." Yu Hua reached out and touched her lower abdomen.
"Yes, Zhan sent over some dessert, the one you said you liked last time." Lin Yi's gaze fell on Yu Zhan and Luo Shu under the kapok tree.
They were chatting enthusiastically when a spring breeze blew by, making their scene warm and beautiful.
"When do you plan to tell them?" Lin Yi asked, glancing at her lower abdomen.
"Let's talk about it after three months. It doesn't seem very stable right now." Yu Hua snuggled closer to him.
"Okay, that's fine." Lin Yi smiled and hugged the person even tighter.

Yu Zhan sat next to Luo Shu, with one leg across her back, serving as a backrest for her.
"Here's a bite for you." Luo Shu picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and held it to his lips.
Yu Zhan smiled and finished eating.
They celebrated the Lunar New Year in the same place, but back then he didn't have this kind of treatment. Now he's finally getting to eat what she feeds him.
"Your smile is so sinister, what are you thinking?" Luo Shu couldn't help but tease.
"Insidious? That's a bit of an exaggeration." Yu Zhan smiled, pursing his lips.
"How do you think I should describe you?" Luo Shu, without giving him a chance to speak, stuffed a mouthful of dessert into his mouth. "You're cunning? A straight man?"
Yu Zhan reached out and touched her cheek, "You could say it's great..."
Luo Shu quickly stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth to stop him from saying anything.
"..." Don't say things like that.
Yu Zhan ate the desserts she kept feeding him with a fawning smile.
"Do you need my help with the Luo family's affairs?" Yu Zhan asked.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"Of course I do, but I'm afraid my wife won't use me, which would make me seem like a useless husband."
Luo Shu became interested. "What's your plan?"
"I won't tell you for now. I need to talk to your grandfather about this. I hope you can use me this time. Trust me, don't take everything on yourself. You're already married. I'm your backer, I'm strong enough, you know that best."
Hard enough...
The setup at the beginning was quite good and touching, but the last few words were a bit suggestive.
Luo Shu paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.
He said something similar about the Mu Bu incident last time; he always acts quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.
"You two are really throwing out dog food non-stop." Lin Yi walked over with Yu Hua.
He bent down and took off Yu Hua's shoes, and Yu Hua went barefoot onto the picnic mat.
This really gave Yu Zhan a chance to show off; Lin Yi, that old man, does have some skills after all.
"It's still uncertain who's showing off their love," Yu Zhan scoffed, looking at the obsequious man.
"Sister Hua'er," Luo Shu greeted.
“Shu’er.” Yu Hua sat down opposite them.
Lin Yi sat down next to her, took out a dessert for her, and opened it to feed her.
Yu Zhan and Luo Shu watched them like they were watching a show.
These two are clearly here to show off their affection, and they're even trying to stop others from doing the same.
Yu Hua didn't let him feed her; she picked up the spoon and ate by herself.
The four of them sat on the lawn for nearly an hour, talking about many topics, but not a word about the Luo family's matter.
Lin Yi and Luo Shu didn't feel particularly embarrassed.
