But the more this happened, the more she couldn't admit defeat.
Lin Shi snorted at this.
He tapped the plate in front of him with his chopsticks: "I don't want to talk about these things while eating."
She needed help from someone, and even though Su Su complained in her heart, "Didn't you ask first?", she still kept her mouth shut.
Su Su couldn't eat the meal, but Lin Shi ate it happily.
It can be seen that Su Su really tried her best to please herself.
Of course, her cooking skills are also of a very high standard, almost catching up with the chef in the old Lin family mansion.
The chef in the Lin family's old house has worked for the Lin family for several generations, and his ancestor was the royal chef.
If I had known earlier, I would have come back to eat twice more during this period.
It’s a pity that I may not be able to eat it in the future.
After dinner, Lin Shi asked Su Su to go to his study to talk. He had successfully entered the Lin Group, and the old man had indeed decided to lure him with a high position because of his rebelliousness and indifference.
Then he naturally has to "return the favor" and let the old man get a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Shi shook his head to himself. It was really troublesome. The old man valued his life too much. Even when meeting with his trusted family members, he was always accompanied by bodyguards. It was so troublesome for him to go through so much trouble.
But soon, he laughed again. Does this mean that the old man also thinks he deserves to die?
Su Su followed him upstairs and felt a chill down her spine from his sudden bursts of laughter.
She spoke carefully: "What...what happened?"
Lin Shi didn't say anything, just shook his head.
After arriving at the study, he did not choose the double sofa where they could sit more intimately, but sat behind the large solid wood desk.
There is no chair in front of this table.
After discovering this, Su Su could only purse her lips reluctantly and stood there awkwardly and resisting.
She always felt that if she stood there, she would be looked down upon.
Lin Shi sat back on the chair with his legs crossed, tapping the tabletop with his fingertips casually, and ordered, "Come closer."
Su Su raised her head, her face stubborn: "If you don't want to help me, just say so. There's no need to humiliate me like this."
Lin Shi raised his eyebrows: "Compared to what I did to Ji Xi, this is nothing."
Su Su had a bad feeling in her heart, but she stubbornly retorted: "Why did you mention Ji Xi suddenly? And every time you bullied Ji Xi, I stopped you, but you didn't listen."
Lin Shi was unmoved: "Really? But I heard Ji Xi told you several times to stay away from him."
"Besides, weren't you the one who instigated all those things? I was just following your wishes."
He knocked on the table again and said impatiently, "Come closer, don't make me say it a third time."
Lin Shi's brows darkened, and the violence and displeasure that flashed in his eyes made Su Su feel scared.
Her legs unconsciously moved forward, and when she came to her senses, she was standing stiffly in front of the desk.
Lin Shi returned to his usual nonchalant look, as if the gloomy look just now was just her illusion.
But Su Su was very sure that there was nothing wrong with her mental state. For the first time, she began to think, could the person with the problem be Lin Shi?
From her current position, she could just look down and see the court summons on Lin Shi’s desk.
She pursed her lips. The things she had placed in her bedroom were taken out and placed on Lin Shi's desk without her consent.
And this was obviously nothing, Lin Shiping started to set off bombs for her.
He casually picked up the court summons and asked her in a relaxed tone, "Have you told anyone you're going to live here?"
Su Su's pupils suddenly dilated, and she looked at Lin Shi in disbelief, obviously thinking of something after Lin Shi's reminder.
She moved out of her home without telling anyone.
She is the only one living in the house now. Her mother moved out a long time ago. Apart from the monthly living expenses, the two of them have almost no contact.
The last person who came to her house was Aunt Fang’s gambler son.
But she still held on to one last glimmer of hope: "It's not you, is it?"
Then she watched Lin Shi laugh, and her heart sank to the bottom.
However, as if this wasn't enough, Lin Shi asked her with an expression as if he had seen something funny: "Is it fun to deceive yourself?"
"I thought that incident at school had shown you my true colors."
He propped his chin up with both hands, genuinely curious: "I'm curious where your confidence comes from."
He said he was curious, but there was no interest in his tone. He was more puzzled, but not very interested in solving the mystery.
"Do you know what was written in my eyes when you first saw me?"
Su Su didn't know what he wanted to do, but she couldn't think of anything else to do at the moment, so she could only shake her head in agreement with what he said.
Lin Shi chuckled sarcastically. At this point, he didn't mind helping the other person recall the past. "Your eyes were full of scrutiny and evaluation back then. That's not the look a stranger should have."
"It's like... walking into a store you've never been to and the salesperson is evaluating whether this customer is worthy of his or her attentive service."
Su Su shook her head to deny it. She had no impression of this at all.
Lin Shi didn't care whether she admitted it or not: "Ordinary high school students might not be able to see this kind of look, but as someone who has been exposed to this kind of look since childhood, it's impossible for me not to notice it."
Su Su didn't know what Lin Shi meant by bringing this up, but she understood one thing: "So you did it on purpose from the beginning?!"
Her tone was full of disbelief and a hint of collapse.
Lin Shi understood what he said, so he was happy. He nodded generously and said, "The answer is correct. It's a pity there is no reward."
Su Su staggered back two steps, shaking her head: "No, it's impossible."
Lin Shi put down his hand that was supporting his chin and casually placed it on the armrest: "Nothing is impossible. You want to use me, why can't I use you back?"
"And the way your eyes changed from assessment to determination in just a few days really makes me curious."
"No."
"impossible."
"No."
Su Su shook her head and said in a trembling voice, "No."
Lin Shi tilted his head: "Why not?"
His tone was gentle and full of temptation: "Tell me why."
"Su Su, don't forget, I am your only way out."
Su Su's eyes were red, and it was hard to tell whether they were due to anger or grievance.
At that moment, I couldn't hold it in any longer and broke down and yelled, "Shut up!"
"I am the protagonist!"
