Seeing that she’d finally managed to provoke Lin Jiage into talking to her, Lin Jiayi said happily, “That’s right. I’m heading off to Xi’an and Chongqing to play. I’ve already booked the plane tickets and accommodations. Do you and Yaoyao want to come along too?”
Instead of replying Lin Jiayi’s invitation, Lin Jiage continued with an impassive look, “There’s one thing I forgot to tell you.”
Lin Jiayi: “What is it?”
“Just a moment ago, Mom and Dad mentioned in our WeChat group that a problem came up in a partnership they negotiated a while back, so they’re planning on returning to Beijing to settle it. I accidentally told them that you just came back from the States, so they decided to hand over the task to you instead. That way, they don’t have to fly back…”
Watching Lin Jiayi’s crumbling face, Lin Jiage intentionally paused for dramatic effect before dropping a greater bomb on her, “… Also, since the partnership has already been confirmed and the payment has been made, you won’t be able to earn a commission from this. I figure Mom and Dad should be giving you a call very soon…”
And shortly after Lin Jiage said that, Lin Jiayi’s phone began to ring.
Reflected on the phone screen were the words ‘Esteemed Mother’.

While Lin Jiayi was still on the phone, Lin Jiage leisurely made his way down the stairs.
Hmph, challenging me to a fight? Even if you did eat three years worth of rice more than me, you’re still sorely lacking.
Vacation? Dream on.
You love money? I’ll make you work without earning a cent!
In any case, the present he planned on giving Soft Bun was already back in her hands, so there was nothing for him to fear anymore…
When Lin Jiage was on the final step of the stairs, Lin Jiayi’s furious bellow echoed from behind, “Lin! Jia—!”
Before she could say anything more, Lin Jiage turned around and shook his head in pity, “Didn’t you already book the plane tickets and accommodations to Xi’an and Chongqing? If you try to refund them now, you’ll still have to pay the processing fee. Ah, what a waste…”
“Lin Jiage, I’m your sister! I—”
But Lin Jiage simply turned around, and indifferently headed for the dining room.
“Lin Jiage, hold it right there! How dare you stab me in the back? You’re really going to be the death of me—”
Before Lin Jiayi could finish her piece, Lin Jiage had already pushed open the door to the dining room.
Shi Yao was inside, with her cheeks stuffed full of food. Hearing the commotion, she turned her head to the doorway curiously.
On the other hand, upon meeting Shi Yao’s gaze, Lin Jiayi immediately shut her mouth and smiled. Then, she turned around and took several deep breaths, one after another.
I can’t give myself away in front of Shi Yao. After all, I did participate in what happened!
How infuriating! Lin Jiage was the one who tricked Shi Yao first, but I can’t even hold that over him anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo wonder he wasn’t afraid to mess with me! My scheming brother already calculated everything from the start!
We clearly come from the same mother and father, but why is my younger brother so scheming, vile, depraved, and obnoxious, so completely different with my beauty, sweetness, adorableness, and innocence?
…
Faced with the crazed Lin Jiayi, Lin Jiage remained completely impassive.
He pulled out a chair along the dining table and took the seat opposite to Shi Yao.
On the other hand, upon seeing Lin Jiage’s face, Shi Yao no longer tried to figure out what was wrong with Lin Jiayi. Her face immediately reddened, and she quickly lowered her head to bury herself into her bowl of glutinous rice balls.
The servants brought out the dishes that Lin Jiage ordered, then served the food to him one plate after another.
Before taking their leave, they couldn’t help but shoot him a perplexed gaze.
Their Young Master rarely ate supper, so why did he suddenly order so much food today?
