Chapter 81 The Misunderstanding of the Eldest Miss (Part 1)

The young girl was truly persistent. Lin Wanrong, in his haste to change the subject, said, "Let's talk about this later. Second Miss, I have a question for you now. You can choose not to answer, but if you do, you must tell the truth."

Xiao Yushuang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lin San, I will not lie to you."

Lin Wanrong nodded, smiling as he asked, "In the story of The Legend of Condor Heroes, do you prefer Guo Jing or Yang Kang?"

It was an interesting question. In his previous life, most boys preferred Guo Jing, perhaps because he was honest and posed no threat to them. Most girls, on the other hand, preferred Yang Kang, probably because he was more handsome and knew how to coax girls.

Xiao Yushuang blushed, lowering her head, wondering why he would ask such an embarrassing question. Could there be an ulterior motive?

After thinking for a while, her face as pink as a peach blossom, she glanced at him and replied in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I... prefer Yang Kang a little."

"Why is that?" Lin Wanrong thought to himself, 'As expected, girls do like this sort of thing.'

"Because he's a lot like you," Xiao Yushuang whispered.

Taken aback, Lin Wanrong was completely baffled. Was this a compliment or an insult? "Am I as bad as him?" he asked with a pained expression.

"He's nowhere near as bad as you when it comes to deceiving girls," Xiao Yushuang said, her face red.

Lin Wanrong was speechless. So in the eyes of this Second Miss, he was a big bad wolf. But where did he deceive girls - at most, he only deceived the little girl Qiaoqiao.

"Lin San, do you prefer Huang Rong or Mu Nianci?" the young lady asked nervously after some thought.

Damn, he had never considered this question because no one had ever asked him. Lin Wanrong pondered for a moment, then answered honestly, "I seem to like both of them."

"Then who do you like more?" Xiao Yushuang pouted.

"Well, Mu Nianci is the type you'd bring home as a wife, while Huang Rong is suitable as a confidante. I'm not really sure which one I prefer," Lin Wanrong said awkwardly.

"Fickle," the Second Miss huffed and turned her head, refusing to speak any further. It was unclear what she was thinking.

Seeing her expression, Lin Wanrong quickly excused himself and went downstairs. Xiao Yushuang didn't even look at him properly.

As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard Second Miss's voice from behind, "Lin San, you must continue the story for me tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't have either Huang Rong or Mu Nianci."

Sweating. Was this a threat?

Lin Wanrong left the building, shaking his head at the memory of the young girl's words. It was somewhat amusing.

He had not walked far when he heard a cold huff. A figure blocked his path.

"Move aside, don't block the road," Lin Wanrong said impatiently.

"Hmm." It was a clear sound this time, a woman's voice. Lin Wanrong looked up and saw the Xiao family's Eldest Miss, who bore a striking resemblance to Madam Xiao.

"So it's the Eldest Miss. Lin San greets Eldest Miss." Lin Wanrong chuckled, his relationship with the Eldest Miss was somewhat strained. He had almost been punished last night, and although he hadn't been beaten, he had broken out in a cold sweat. He kept his distance from this "fierce" Eldest Miss, as one would respectfully avoid spirits and deities.

"Did you just come from Yushuang's place?" Xiao Yuruo's eyes flashed with anger as she asked coldly.

She had seen everything. There was no point in denying it, especially since he hadn't done anything guilty. Lin Wanrong, feeling righteous, answered loudly, "Yes."

"Lin San, don't think that because Yushuang is young and you're eloquent, that you can bully my sister. You're delusional," Eldest Miss Xiao exclaimed angrily.

"Eldest Miss, what do you mean by this? When have I ever bullied Second Miss?" Lin Wanrong was confused. Why did this girl suddenly appear, and why was she so angry? Could she be on her period?

"You still dare to argue? I ask you, what were you doing in Yushuang's room just now?" Xiao Yuruo was so angry that her teeth itched. This servant dared to harbor intentions towards her sister. How could she tolerate this?

When Xiao Yuruo was angry, her beautiful face flushed a few shades darker, her lips bit down slightly, her bosom heaved, she was incredibly beautiful. Compared to her usual strong and reserved demeanor, it was quite a different flavor.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, the three women of the Xiao family, from old to young, were all quite remarkable. But the Eldest Miss was in a bad mood at the moment. Not wanting to provoke her, Lin Wanrong said righteously, "I went to tell Second Miss a story."

"A story? Who would believe such an excuse? With your wolfish ambitions, do you think no one can see through you? You want to take advantage of Yushuang's innocence and deceive her, how could you do such a thing?" Seeing him deny it, Xiao Yuruo became even more furious. This malicious villain, if not dealt with promptly, who knew what he might do.

Lin Wanrong finally understood her tone. So she thought he was trying to seduce her sister. ‘Damn, this girl thinks too highly of herself.’ With Lin Wanrong's discernment and experience, the Second Miss was just a young girl who would be a high school student in his previous life. He had no interest in Lolitas, how could he possibly get involved with the Second Miss? Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, the Eldest Miss's tone was extremely displeasing to him. What did it matter if his status was low? Her status might be high, but soon enough, she would be absorbed by someone else. She might even be worse off than him, a mere servant.

"Eldest Miss, I think you've got it wrong. There's nothing between Second Miss and me. She's only sixteen, still a child. You can suspect me, but to suspect your own sister like this, don't you find it shameful?" Lin Wanrong said coldly. His pride was piqued, and he wasn't afraid of anyone, let alone a young girl.

"You, you scoundrel, dare to call me shameless?" Xiao Yuruo clenched her fists tightly. If it weren't for her status, she would have rushed up to beat this villain.

"Isn't it true? You don't even trust your own biological sister, and you expect me to say you're noble?" Lin Wanrong laughed, "You accuse me for no reason, judging others by your petty mind. If this slander of yours were to spread, I wouldn't mind, but how would the pure and innocent Second Miss deal with it? How would she view her sister? Calling you shameless is putting it lightly."

"You—" Xiao Yuruo felt like she was about to explode. She had dismissed all the servants to protect her sister's reputation, thinking she could easily resolve the issue, but she didn't expect this servant to be so cunning and articulate. She was momentarily at a loss for words. Listening to his sophistry, she ground her teeth and her beautiful cheeks flushed with rage.

"Eldest Miss, the Second Miss is still a child. She needs your love and care. No matter how busy you and the Madam are, you should spend more time caring for her. Money can't buy these familial bonds. Once you lose them, it will be too late to cherish them," Lin Wanrong said with heartfelt sincerity.

This was a spontaneous outburst. After coming to this world, he was forever separated from his parents and sister. Thinking of their heartbreaking state, his eyes were a little moist.

Xiao Yuruo had been managing the Xiao family for many years. She was known for her sharpness and strong will. But making independent decisions had also made her somewhat stubborn. She firmly believed that Lin San must have had intentions towards Xiao Yushuang. Coupled with her poor impression of him from the previous night, it was hard to change this perception quickly.

She didn't listen to what Lin Wanrong was saying and gritted her teeth, "You servant, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

Lin Wanrong was furious, "Eldest Miss, I am a contracted employee of the Xiao family, not a servant. There's a contract to prove it, so be clear. I don't rely on your whims to live. Maybe one day, you'll have to rely on mine."

"You—" Eldest Miss Xiao completely lost it. She picked up a stone from nowhere and threw it at him.

‘Damn, resorting to violence when she can't win the argument?’ Lin Wanrong was taken aback and quickly dodged, "Are you going crazy, girl?"

In her anger, Eldest Miss Xiao had already forgotten to call for help. She lunged at Lin Wanrong, swinging her fists at him. Her moves seemed to have been practiced, but she was apparently still a novice.

Lin Wanrong dodged and asked, "Have you really gone mad?"

"I'll kill you, you wretched servant!" Eldest Miss Xiao relentlessly threw punches at Lin Wanrong.

‘Damn, should I be afraid of her?’ Lin Wanrong thought angrily. He suddenly grabbed her wrists, lifted a leg to block her kick, and forcefully pinned her against a faux rock formation, shouting, "Wake up, wake up."

Eldest Miss Xiao gasped for breath, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared at him, "You servant, let go of me, or I swear you'll die a terrible death."

Lin Wanrong was utterly furious. He raised his hand and slapped her tender buttocks hard. The crisp smack echoed, and Miss Xiao let out a soft cry. Both of them were stunned.

Lin Wanrong thought, ‘This girl has a pretty plump backside.’ Xiao Yuruo, on the other hand, thought, ‘I have been defiled by this servant, I can't live anymore.’

"I'll fight you to the death," she shrieked, struggling fiercely. Her hands flailed wildly, scratching at Lin Wanrong. Seeing her looking crazed, Lin Wanrong thought, ‘damn, what the hell is going on here? I've never been hit by a woman before.’

Well, whether it was one slap or ten, the feud has been established now. Seeing Eldest Miss Xiao continuing to struggle and twist, Lin Wanrong delivered another hard smack on her plump buttocks.
