Lin Jiayue stood at a distance, and when she saw the room, she smiled. Qi Zhiyang's actions were a blatant slap in the face to Lin Qiu, and she felt a surge of pleasure.
She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, saying lazily, "I remember this room used to be a storage room. I never thought it would become my sister's room today."
"Slap!" Lin Qiu slapped Butler Li across the face, then turned to look at Li Ruorui.
He remembered that he had entrusted Li Ruorui with the task of preparing a room for Lin Zhiluo.
Li Ruorui was also stunned for a moment. Seeing Lin Qiu's suspicion, she raised her voice: "Butler Li, I asked you to clean up the best room on the third floor, why are you cleaning the storage room?"
Butler Li stammered.
Lin Qiu immediately realized that someone was interfering, but it was definitely not Li Ruorui. No matter how little she cared for Lin Zhiluo, this was their child, and now they were trying to win her over. Li Ruorui wouldn't do anything stupid.
He glanced at Qi Zhiyang, then walked up to Butler Li: "You've worked in our family for so many years, you know my temper. Who told you to do this?"
Butler Li had no backbone. He knew he couldn't stay in the Lin family anymore, and if his reputation was ruined, he wouldn't be able to find such a worry-free, high-paying job again.
Butler Li said, "Young Master Hongxi asked me to clean up this place. He wants to use that room on the third floor as a study."
Lin Qiu felt incredibly embarrassed today, and Li Ruorui never expected that Lin Hongxi would cause her such a huge mess at such a crucial moment.
"Go and bring that unfilial son here to me!" Lin Qiu roared.
The others immediately watched with anticipation, knowing that Lin Hongxi was in for trouble.
Li Ruorui stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zhiluo's hand, but Lin Zhiluo dodged it.
Li Ruorui said softly, "Hongxi is just a child. He doesn't have bad intentions. As his older sister, you shouldn't hold it against him."
"Tch." Lin Zhiluo genuinely laughed this time, but everyone could hear the mockery in her soft sneer.
Lin Zhiluo met Li Ruorui's gaze; this was the first time Lin Zhiluo and Li Ruorui had looked at each other since they met.
“When I first came back, he told everyone that he wouldn’t acknowledge me as his sister. I can ignore that, since I haven’t treated him like a brother either, so it’s fair.”
"This room..." she looked around carefully. "If I didn't have the power I have today, and I weren't Mrs. Qi Zhiyang, would I have to swallow this loss and stay here? Otherwise, would I be just asking for trouble and being ungrateful?"
Her aggressive demeanor made Li Ruorui feel a little guilty, because Lin Zhiluo's words had hit a nerve with her.
“You…” Li Ruorui felt uncomfortable and was about to retort.
Qi Zhiyang appeared beside Lin Zhiluo: "I forgot to mention earlier that even if Luoluo goes back to the Lin family, she won't live with you."
"How can this be?" Lin Qiu was shocked. If Lin Zhiluo didn't live at home, how could they control her and make her use the Qi family's resources to feed their Lin family?
“I bought the villa across the street and have already decorated it according to Luo Luo’s preferences, so Luo Luo doesn’t have to squeeze in here to sleep.”
Lin Qiu suddenly couldn't find a reason to keep Lin Zhiluo here. She could live in the villa across the street and wouldn't even have to squeeze in with them.
How ironic! She used to look down on other people's houses, but now this room converted from a storage room is even worse than their house. What's more, Lin Zhiluo doesn't even respect the Lin family anymore.
Lin Zhiluo glanced at Qi Zhiyang, telling him to tone down his act a bit. He was still staying there tonight and wanted to see how the Lin family couple would treat her. He could move out tomorrow.
Qi Zhiyang immediately understood and stopped talking.
Just then, someone walked over and said, "The rooms on the third floor have been prepared."
Lin Simo had already ordered someone to clean up when her father got angry. Fortunately, Lin Hongxi only said he wanted to use that room as a study, so thankfully they didn't have time to start cleaning.
This time, Lin Qiu personally led Lin Zhiluo up to the third floor. This room was the best one on the third floor, occupying half of the entire third floor.
Lin Sijie looked unwell. She had wanted to live in this spot before, but her parents said it was for her six grandfathers.
But Lin Sheng doesn't like living here, so now Lin Zhiluo is getting a good deal. Why should Lin Zhiluo be able to live here?
Lin Qiu noticed the disdain still in Qi Zhiyang's eyes and felt somewhat dissatisfied. After all, Qi Zhiyang was now the son-in-law of this family.
But when Qi Zhiyang looked at him coldly, Lin Qiu immediately fell silent.
Qi Zhiyang sneered inwardly; such a person truly did not deserve to be Luoluo's family.
Fortunately, Lin Zhiluo was satisfied with this room.
Lin Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief at Lin Qiu. She looked at Lin Qiu and said, "Why don't we let Lin Hongxi stay in the previous room for a week, so he can experience what it's like to sleep in that room?"
"How could you let your brother sleep there? Is that a place for a human to live?"
"Why not?" Lin Zhiluo looked at Li Ruorui. "He's not my brother. We just don't acknowledge each other's identities."
Lin Qiu nodded after hearing this: "Let Lin Hongxi move in for a week. He's been too lawless."
After learning the news, Lin Hongxi gritted his teeth and wanted to cause trouble for Lin Zhiluo, but when he passed by Lin Jiayue, he stopped in his tracks when he saw the look in Lin Jiayue's eyes.
He immediately thought of Lin Zhiluo calling him an idiot and didn't want to go forward and make a fool of himself.
He gritted his teeth, deciding not to cause trouble for Lin Zhiluo. Today was the first day she had come back, and his parents' hearts were with her. He didn't believe that his parents would still treat her this way after a while.
Lin Jiayue shook her head; she could see the resentment in Lin Hongxi's eyes.
If he had known Lin Zhiluo a little more, he wouldn't have been so easily manipulated. Did they really think his sister, who had just been found, was so simple?
Lin Zhiluo stayed at the Lin family home. Qi Zhiyang had to go back to the company to handle a phone call, but Lin Zhiluo saw him off before he left.
Qi Zhiyang instructed Lin Zhiluo at the door: "If they really don't like your family, then go back to live across the street."
"I know," Lin Zhiluo said, looking at her. "How could I let their family bully me?"
Qi Zhiyang shook his head: "I'm just worried. Here's what you'll do: if you're unhappy, call me."
"I definitely will, you go ahead and do your work," Lin Zhiluo said.
"I will allow you to stay here for a week at most, no, three days. I will only allow you to stay here for three days. After three days, I will come to pick you up in person."
"Okay!" Lin Zhiluo nodded. She felt that if Qi Zhiyang continued to nag, she might kick him out.
Lin Qiu was pleased to see Lin Zhiluo and Qi Zhiyang in the villa. It seemed that his daughter, whom he had just found, was really winning Qi Zhiyang's heart.
