Chapter 38 Danger!
Just as they were about to kiss, many people arrived at the school parking lot to retrieve their cars. Xie Lin clicked his tongue and frowned slightly. He didn't like being disturbed when he was doing something private with Mianmian. He picked up Lin Mianmian and walked out of the parking lot with large, steady steps. The person in his arms felt as light as a ball of cotton.
"Put me down..." Lin Mianmian buried her face in the crook of his neck, her voice muffled like a mosquito's hum, her nose filled with the faint scent of his sweat mixed with the fragrance of cedar.
Xie Lin chuckled softly, bounced the person in his arms, his peach blossom eyes curving into a captivating arc, the red mole at the corner of his eye strikingly beautiful: "I won't let go, I'm willing to hold my little darling."
Lin Mianmian's face burned even hotter. She tightened her grip on his jersey, her fingertips brushing against the firm muscles of his back before she quickly withdrew her hand.
Seeing the shy expression on the face of the girl in his arms, Xie Lin felt a urge to tease her. He deliberately moved his gaze downwards, stopping at Lin Mianmian's chest.
Lin Mianmian noticed Xie Lin's gaze and angrily slapped his firm back a few times: "Xie Lin!"
"Hmm?" Xie Lin paused, glancing down at her. His long, thick eyelashes swept across his eyelids, casting a small shadow.
She smiled and said, "My husband is here."
His voice was hoarse from exercise, with a lazy trailing off, yet it carried an undeniable force.
"You!" Lin Mianmian was at a loss for words because of Xie Lin's shameless and irresponsible behavior.
So she turned her face away, refusing to look at his excessively handsome face.
That bastard has a terrible personality, and his face is just as terrible.
High, straight brow bones, a straight, upturned nose, thin, reddish lips, and a captivating little mole beneath his almond-shaped eyes. All these features combine to create a strikingly handsome appearance that's impossible to look away from.
This kind of face, regardless of gender, makes it extremely convenient for someone who wants to do bad things.
"Are you hungry?" Xie Lin suddenly changed the subject, picked her up and walked to the side of the road, his fingertips gently stroking the soft flesh on her waist. "I'll take you to eat KFC."
Lin Mianmian's eyes brightened, but she still stubbornly insisted, "I'm not hungry."
"Stubborn little liar." Xie Lin lowered his head, his thin lips brushing against her earlobe, causing her to tremble slightly.
"I wonder which little bunny had those twinkling eyes just now."
As he spoke, he walked to the "Little Yellow" sports car, lifted his long leg, and shoved the person into the passenger seat.
As he bent down to fasten her seatbelt, his warm breath brushed against her cheek.
"Be good," he said, staring at her pink lips, his peach blossom eyes brimming with laughter.
After Xie Lin took Mianmian to eat at the school's KFC, he had to leave early because of an urgent matter at his company. Leaving Lin Mianmian alone, she went out to pick up a package.
Just as I stepped out of the school gate, a sharp shout of cursing suddenly pierced the noise.
"Lin Mianmian! You brat!"
Wang Shumei stood at the school gate with her hands on her hips, spitting as she spoke, while Lin Yaozu, standing beside her, shrank his neck.
His face was bruised from being beaten, but his eyes were filled with venom as he stared intently at the school gate.
The surrounding students immediately gathered around, pointing and whispering amongst themselves.
"Isn't that Lin Mianmian's mother? Why is she causing trouble at the school?"
"I heard her brother owes money to loan sharks, and this is forcing her to pay it back!"
The moment Lin Mianmian heard the sound, her face didn't turn as pale as usual; her fingertips just tightened slightly.
Instead of backing down, she stepped forward and walked towards the pointing and whispering gazes.
Wang Shumei rushed towards Lin Mianmian like a madwoman, reaching out to grab her hair, but Lin Mianmian dodged to the side.
His movements were swift, his eyes as cold as ice. "This is a school! What's wrong with you now!"
"What happened at school?" Wang Shumei asked, her voice rising in embarrassment as she saw Wang Shumei avoid her.
"I'm disciplining my daughter, and even the Emperor himself can't interfere!"
"Besides, your brother owes money to loan sharks. They said if he doesn't pay it back today, they'll break his leg! You're his sister, if you don't help him, who will?"
Lin Yaozu also joined in, reaching out to snatch Lin Mianmian's phone: "Lin Mianmian, you have money, right? Hand it over now! Don't make me beat you up!"
"Doesn't Xie Lin like you? Go ask him for it! He's so rich, he can just throw some money at you!"
"I told you I have no money!" Lin Mianmian's voice was steady, without the slightest tremor.
She looked up at Lin Yaozu, her gaze cold and indifferent. "Why should I pay back the high-interest loans you owe?"
"Why should I?" Wang Shumei sneered and raised her hand to slap Lin Mianmian across the face.
"Just because you're a daughter of the Lin family! Just because you grew up eating the Lin family's food! If your brother gets crippled, you'll never have a peaceful life!"
The slap landed with a gust of wind, but Lin Mianmian didn't close her eyes. Instead, she met the hand head-on, and the coldness in her eyes made Wang Shumei pause.
A girl from the same class next to Wang Shumei reached out and stopped Wang Shumei's wrist, frowning as she said, "Auntie, this is a school, you can't hit people."
"None of your business!" Wang Shumei shook off the girl's hand, spitting in her face. "What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere in my family affairs?"
She turned and grabbed Lin Mianmian's collar again, her nails almost digging into her flesh: "I'm telling you, Lin Mianmian, you have to pay back this money today!"
"Either you and Xie Lin go and ask for it, or you go and sell your eggs!" Wang Shumei's face was contorted with utter malice and shamelessness.
"Xie Lin's money didn't come from thin air." Lin Mianmian raised her hand and pried her fingers apart.
The force wasn't strong, but it carried an undeniable firmness: "I certainly won't borrow his money to cover your gambling debts."
"Selling eggs is absolutely out of the question!!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Shumei sat down on the ground and threw a tantrum, slapping her thighs and wailing loudly.
"This is outrageous! I've raised such an unfilial daughter! My brother is about to be beaten to death, and she just stands by and does nothing!"
"Oh dear! Oh dear! She's such an ingrate!"
The surrounding chatter grew louder, and disdainful glances pierced her like needles, but Lin Mianmian stood ramrod straight, her back as upright as a spear.
She neither cried nor hid; she simply stared coldly at Wang Shumei, who was throwing a tantrum, and Lin Yaozu, who was cowering to the side.
She clutched her phone in her hand, the screen lit up with a message from Xie Lin: "Baby Mianmian, the overseas project is urgent, I'm going to check it out."

Behave yourself, don't run around, and don't look at other men.
Lin Mianmian's fingertip paused on the screen for a moment, but she ultimately did not press the call button.
Wang Shumei's tantrums and tantrums didn't get her any advantage. As more and more people gathered around, their gazes toward her grew increasingly contemptuous.
She suddenly changed her expression, lunged forward like a mad beast, and grabbed Lin Mianmian's wrist tightly.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Wang Shumei's fingernails dug into Lin Mianmian's flesh, causing her to wince in pain.
He didn't utter a word, but coldly stared at the woman in front of him, "Since you refuse to obediently beg Xie Lin, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Before he could finish speaking, a dusty van screeched to a halt on the side of the road, and the door was suddenly pulled open.
