Chapter 86: Stirring Up Trouble

In the evening, Chen Ying'er, wearing a pink long dress, went out.

Before leaving, Lin Yang had intended to borrow Lu Linglong's car, but was prevented.

"Brother, we're going to a birthday party, not to show off."

"Sister-in-law's Porsche is just sitting there— isn't that showing off?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang laughed and said, "Really, I'm sorry; it was my oversight as the older brother."

"Hmph, that's more like it. Let's go."

Saying that, the two walked far before they managed to hail a car.

After all, those who can afford to live in the Lushan Villa Area won't be lacking a car.

When the brother and sister arrived at the hotel location given by Chen Xiaoxiao,

Wearing a white dress and tall of stature, Chen Xiaoxiao was already waiting outside the hotel.

Tonight, Chen Xiaoxiao wore a custom-made birthday crown, crystal high heels, and a pretty face, looking just like a princess.

Around her were more than ten men and women.

"Xiaoxiao, just who are you waiting for? You still won't tell us."

"Is it some rich young master, or is it your boyfriend, Xiaoxiao?"

Hearing her old classmates' words, Chen Xiaoxiao replied with a playful expression.

"I'm not telling you!"

"That person— you all know him; when he arrives, you'll find out."

Saying that, everyone became even more curious.

"Here he comes!"

Everyone followed Chen Xiaoxiao's gaze.

Seeing Lin Yang and Lin Ying'er approach, they all furrowed their brows.

"Who are these two? I've never seen them before."

"That girl is quite pretty; I feel like I've seen her somewhere."

Hearing everyone chatter, Chen Xiaoxiao giggled, walked up to Lin Ying'er, and took her hand.

"Ying'er, you've finally come."

Lin Ying'er said apologetically, "Sorry, Xiaoxiao, for making you wait so long."

Saying that, she then looked at Lin Yang and said.

"It's all my brother's fault— he dawdles when going out."

Lin Yang could only smile wryly; clearly this young lady, despite changing outfit after outfit, was still unsatisfied.

She had also spent a lot of time on makeup, and even now she blamed herself for the delay.

Nevertheless, he still apologetically said.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Chen Xiaoxiao looked Lin Yang up and down, then smiled sweetly.

"It's fine; let's go inside and talk."

She took Lin Ying'er's hand and walked to the front of the crowd.

"Everyone, look— who is this?"

The crowd looked at Lin Ying'er, and suddenly someone exclaimed.

"Isn't this Lin Ying'er? Weren't they saying she went crazy..."

Having said that, realizing it wasn't appropriate, they fell silent.

Everyone in the southwest had heard about Lin Ying'er's affairs.

Just now, Wei Li's words made everyone's gaze toward Lin Ying'er change.

"We're all old classmates; if you have anything to say, let's go inside."

Entering the hotel, the entire first floor had been reserved.

Nearly a hundred people sat in the hall, drinking and enjoying themselves.

Upon seeing Chen Xiaoxiao appear, a young man in a white suit, holding a glass of wine, walked over.

"Birthday Star, we've come today to celebrate your longevity— you've kept us waiting here so long; shouldn't you punish yourself with a drink?"

Hearing this, the somewhat forthright Chen Xiaoxiao also picked up a wine glass.

"Young Master Xu, I'll punish myself with a drink!"

Saying that, she downed the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, Xu Zhijie clapped his hands.

"Xiaoxiao can really hold her liquor."

Saying that, he then turned his gaze to Lin Ying'er.

Upon seeing the fresh, refined, and outstanding Lin Ying'er, he couldn't help but brighten.

"Who is this..."

"This is my classmate Lin Ying'er, Young Master Xu; if you have something to say, let's sit down— standing is tiring."

Watching a group of people walk to the banquet table to sit, Lin Yang did not follow.

He simply found a spot where he could always see his sister.

After they sat down, they began chatting enthusiastically.

At that moment, Chen Xiaoxiao noticed Lin Yang hadn't followed and walked over.

"Lin Yang, why aren't you coming over to sit?"

Lin Yang heard this, smiled and said, "You classmates are catching up; I won't get involved."

As a result, Chen Xiaoxiao grabbed his hand and said.

"Today is my birthday; doing this means you're not giving me face!"

Seeing Chen Xiaoxiao feigning anger, Lin Yang helplessly smiled and said.

"Fine, I'll go, okay?"

When he and Chen Xiaoxiao came to the side of the wine table and just sat down, he heard someone say.

"Lin Ying'er, I heard you went crazy earlier; you won't go mad and hit us now, will you?"

"I heard that mentally ill people who kill don't have to pay with their lives."

The originally lively wine table suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked toward the speaker.

The speaker was none other than Xu Zhijie's sister, Xu Siqi.

Seeing everyone gathering around Lin Ying'er, she felt very displeased.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhijie frowned, but didn't say anything more.

He looked at Lin Ying'er, smiled and said.

"My sister means no harm; it's just a joke."

Hearing this, Xu Siqi also smiled and said.

"Exactly, I'm just joking; can't I even afford to joke?"

Hearing this, Lin Ying'er gave an embarrassed smile, opened her mouth to say it's fine, but felt wronged.

"A toad there yelling with its mouth wide open really ruins one's appetite."

Xu Siqi has had a big mouth since childhood, and with overeating, she grew broad-waisted.

What she hates most is being called a toad.

As soon as she heard this, she exploded.

"Who, who's talking about me!"

Lin Yang looked at her, gave a slight smile and said.

"I said it."

Xu Siqi looked at Lin Yang and shouted hysterically.

"I don't care who you are, I'm going to smash your mouth!"

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Why get so angry? I was just joking with you; why are you getting worked up?"

Xu Siqi was about to erupt when Xu Zhijie stopped her.

He stood up and sized Lin Yang up and down.

"Who are you?"

"Lin Yang, Lin Ying'er's brother."

Xu Zhijie remained silent for a moment, then let out an "oh."

"I remember now, you were the eldest young master of the Lin family before."

"Weren't you said to have died in that fire? How are you still alive?"

Seeing Lin Yang silent, Xu Zhijie asked.

"By the way, what work is Young Master Lin doing now?"

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Unemployed vagrant."

Xu Zhijie smiled and took out his business card.

"Indeed, the Lin family now is not what it used to be."

"Even if you're barely surviving, you're just a stray dog."

"In that case, come to my company; I'll let you work as a security guard."

"Don't worry, for your sister's sake I'll pay you five thousand a month."

Saying this, he looked at Lin Ying'er with a smile.

"However, the precondition is that you let Ying'er have a meal with me."

The originally angry Xu Siqi also laughed upon hearing this.

She spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Young Master Lin, five thousand bucks isn't small; it's better than you begging for food, though it's embarrassing."

Lin Yang looked at the Xu siblings, then picked his ears.

"Toads have become spirits, and there are two of them."

Then an uproar broke out.
