With the way her cold eyes swept towards the Song family made them hesitate to answer and inside their hearts, an indescribable feeling bloomed forward.
Lin Xiaofei raised the teacup to her soft and red lips and tipped it slightly and drank the fragrant tea inside.
And when she put the cup on the table again with a slightly loud noise, everyone inside the hall flinched as if they were afraid of having her wrath focused on their direction.
As if they were some small soldiers in front of an enemy General that had his sword pointed at their necks, they sat rooted in their place.
Even Lin Xiaomeng who has never seen this side of his granddaughter felt the overwhelming bloodthirst coming right off from her like it was a perfume that she wore in her body. She didn't even conceal it nor let others not notice it.
As a great general, Lin Xiaomeng has gone and experienced a countless battle that almost took his own life for several years he stayed in the border to clash with the enemies trying to attack the Zheng empire.
Thus, when faced with raw killing intent, Lin Xiaomeng was the first one inside the hall to smell and feel her thirst for blood and for the kill.
But how and when Lin Xiaofei could produce such menacing aura?
Lin Xiaomeng thoughtfully looked at his granddaughter and sighed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe must have taken his eyes off from her too long that he didn't even realize this side of her.
Thinking like that, he decided to watch over his granddaughter more and protect her from harm so she won't develop such dangerous aura further since it will only bring more harm in her way.
Lin Xiaofei didn't know her grandfather's thoughts and also didn't care even if she somehow finds out how overprotective he was to her since having him favor her and protect her would be of great use to her in her path towards revenge.
Of course, her thoughts might change in the future, but only fate will know if she will develop different emotions and desires other than hatred and revenge.
Lin Xiaofei gritted her teeth. Stifling the yawn from coming out of her mouth was harder than she thought.
At first, she agreed to come and see these guests who came to her Lin residence to know what kind of drama will the Song family show to her.
But upon staying only for a few minutes, she became tired and bored from how senseless and stupid these people were.
She even wasted her precious time with them when she's got a lot of things to plan to give Yu Fangzhu and the Royal family some trouble and headaches.
Seeing that they had no intention to speak more, Lin Xiaofei excused herself.
She stood up and bowed slightly towards Lin Xiaomeng, "Since there's not much fun to make me stay here. Grandfather, I'll excuse myself first."
"Al…alright." Lin Xiaomeng said after recovering from the shock of seeing his granddaughter's boldness and waved his hand to excuse her, "You can go ahead and make sure to get some rest."
Lin Xiaomeng didn't forget to dote on her.
"I will, grandfather."
As she was about to turn and leave, Lin Shen Yu also stood up and cupped his head in front of him.
"Then, I will also excuse myself and go with fourth cousin, grandfather." Lin Shen Yu announced to everyone's shock.
Wu Jin Yan abruptly raised her head to look at her son. What was her son thinking? Why would he want to accompany that arrogant brat?
Lin Feng and Lin Xiaomeng were also startled at him but the former didn't say anything while the latter nodded his head.
"Since you want to accompany your cousin. Then go ahead." Lin Xiaomeng said, dismissing them from the hall.
Lin Shen Yu picked up his pace as he followed Lin Xiaofei who didn't even wait for him.
"Dear cousin, tell me. Do you secretly meet a teacher to be this eloquent in a verbal fight?" Lin Shen Yu suddenly asked when he finally caught up to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Xiaofei paused slightly before continuing from her walk. She rolled her eyes at him and didn't answer as she makes a turn in the hallway, a few servants passed them by with a tray of snacks.
When the servants who passed by were out of her sight and after she took a full turn in the hallway, Lin Xiaofei suddenly pulled Lin Shen Yu's arm and pushed him to the wall.
"Ouch!" Lin Shen Yu cried out after he was caught off guard by her sudden action, "What happened to you?!" He glared at her.
"That's what I want to ask." Lin Xiaofei coldly told him, inching forward toward him, "All of you in the Lin family hated me and would always look for ways to slander me. Especially your mother, I don't believe that your friendly act is genuine. I kindly ask you to stop it. It's disgusting."
Because Lin Xiaofei didn't have the previous owner's memories, she was having a hard time believing that Lin Shen Yu was someone that didn't have any grudge to the previous owner and especially when his mother hated her.
Lin Shen Yu blinked his eyes at her and almost cursed out. He was in disbelief at her words and before long, his throaty laughter came out of his laugh.
When Lin Xiaofei was about to say something, he quickly pinched her cheeks.
Lin Xiaofei was too late to avoid his hands and felt the pain coming from her cheeks.
Her face creased up and she glared at him.
"Impertinent child!" Lin Xiaofei scolded as she wiped her cheeks as if something dirty touched it.
Lin Shen Yu was offended by her actions and words.
He held her head and pressed down on it, "Child? I am older than you by a few years and you call me a child? Are you tempting me to pinch your cheeks again?"
Lin Xiaofei stopped rubbing her cheeks and narrowed her eyes at him, "Try it and I'll break your hands!"
