Chapter 162

Seeing Shu Xia and Shu Chen laughing and chatting together, as if Shu Chen were the real older brother, Lin Xu was even more furious.

"Let's go, let's go take a look." Lin Qi walked toward the direction of Shu Xia.

Lin Xu curled his lips, "She won't even pay us any mind, are we going to go and offer a cold shoulder to a hot face?"

"Don't talk so much, just go and see."

"Fine then."

By the lake.

There were quite a few people coming in twos and threes to camp.

The clear blue lake water was refreshing and delightful to look at.

"In a while, our whole family will come here to camp. Look over there, a whole big family gathered together, it's so comfortable. Does it remind you of when we were little, when I took you into the water to play? After Mom found out, I didn't dare to turn over on my backside, and I walked around with my butt stuck out for several days." Shu Chen recalled the embarrassing incident from their childhood.

Shu Xia remembered, "Mom hit you with the broom used for sweeping the yard, right? The broom even broke from the hitting."

"I don't blame Mom either. That summer, two or three people drowned in the river, all children our age. Mom was afraid something would happen to us." Shu Chen felt now, thinking back, that they had too little safety awareness when they were young.

Shu Xia picked up a pebble from the side and threw it toward the lake.

The pebble skipped five or six times before sinking into the lake.

Shu Chen's eyes lit up, and his competitive spirit was ignited, "Xia Xia, you're good! Did you practice behind my back?"

He also grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw them into the lake one by one.

"This is my talent!"

Because there were only older and younger brothers in the family, with no older or younger sisters, the games Shu Xia usually played with them were all games that boys liked.

This kind of stone-skipping game was something she, Shu Chen, and Shu Hong could play for the better part of a day.

"Let me demonstrate for you, and let you see that a master is a master after all; a disciple can never compare to a master!" Shu Chen picked out a pebble with a shape and size he was very satisfied with and threw it out.

The pebble skipped a total of ten times.

Shu Xia gave a thumbs up, "Second Brother is still the best, but Shu Hong definitely won't be convinced."

"That kid was also taught by me, and he still can't compare to me." Shu Chen was quite confident.

Shu Xia didn't want to discourage Shu Chen; she and Shu Hong had often practiced secretly when they were young and had long since surpassed Shu Chen. Just now, she had completely held back her strength.

"How childish!"

A cold sneer disturbed the two siblings.

"Why are you everywhere?" Shu Chen frowned as he looked at Lin Xu, and with a sour expression, he said to Lin Qi, "Can't your Lin Family keep your animals locked up tight? Letting them out to bite people every day, don't you know this is a society ruled by law?"

"If the master has no class, don't expect anything more." Shu Xia stifled a laugh; Shu Chen really knew how to describe things.

Lin Xu was enraged, "Shu Chen, you've got some nerve, daring to talk about me? Do you believe I'll find the director and have your role as the fourth male lead removed? If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, I will absolutely not let you have the chance to get ahead!"

Shu Chen's pupils contracted violently, and he gritted his teeth, "Despicable and shameless! If it weren't for your family backing you, with that rotten acting of yours, do you really think you could stand firm in the entertainment industry? People act and Heaven watches; Lin Xu, you won't be able to act like this for long!"

"Enough, stop talking for now." Lin Qi said in a cold, sharp voice.

He hadn't come to escalate the conflict.

He wanted to have a proper talk with Shu Xia.

"Xia Xia, do you know who is making a move against our Lin Family? Is it true that you have a very powerful benefactor behind you?" Lin Qi tried his best to keep his tone gentle.

Their Lin Family could not have anything go wrong.

If something happened to the Lin Family, he definitely wouldn't be able to stay at the company. Previously, he had suppressed Shu Xuan both openly and secretly, and the company had turned a blind eye, but these past two days were different; it was obvious that the company valued Shu Xuan more, and even recognized Shu Xuan's research and development, and was about to issue the next bonus.

A bonus of several hundred thousand was not much money to him, but it was a real, tangible humiliation.

"Clean your mouth before you speak!" Shu Chen raised his fist, ready to strike.
