Crying hysterically, Mi Shu grabbed her bag and fled. Xiao Jinyu immediately worried that something might happen to her and ordered his subordinates to follow her at once.
When Xia Lin woke up the next day, he felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was strange. Specifically, he had seen several servants secretly huddling together and whispering about something several times.
Xia Lin asked the butler what was going on. The butler replied gently, "Young Master Xia Lin, why don't you ask Master Xiao yourself? I'm sure he'll be happy to answer your question."
So Xia Lin waited for Xiao Jinyu to come back and then asked him. At first, Xiao Jinyu tried to fob him off, but the more he did so, the more curious Xia Lin became and kept pressing for an answer.
Finally, Xiao Jinyu had no choice but to tell Xia Lin the truth. When Xia Lin heard that Xiao Jinyu had scolded Mi Shu to avenge him, he was both touched and a bit guilty.
"I didn't tell you about it. Now Mi Shu and some others might think I'm a petty guy who likes to tattle."
Xiao Jinyu comforted Xia Lin, "It doesn't matter. It's enough that I know you're not that kind of person. As for them, they don't dare to talk about you casually."
After dinner, Xia Lin thought for a while and said, "I think after this, Mi Shu should stop targeting me. But to avoid further conflicts with her, how about I apply to live on campus?"
Xiao Jinyu's face stiffened, and he said bluntly, "Not a good idea! Xiaolin, don't even think about it. I'll handle Mi Shu's matter properly. You're not allowed to live on campus!"
Seeing Xiao Jinyu's unexpected resistance to his idea of living on campus, Xia Lin quickly shook his head and said, "Okay, okay. Don't be so worked up. I won't live on campus."
Well, if Mi Shu came back, he'd just ignore her. If Mi Shu was the only one making a fuss, she'd probably get bored soon.
Mi Shu found her good girlfriends and cried, "Woohoo, for a man, Jinyu was so mean to me! Woohoo..."
Her girlfriends had similar personalities to Mi Shu. They were all rich young ladies who had been spoiled since childhood, so they were quite willful and a bit selfish.
"That Xia Lin is just a male seducer! We must come up with a way to teach him a good lesson, or Mi Shu will be bullied in the future!"
"Thank you. But... but Jinyu is so partial. I don't know what to do. Maybe I should just slink away and go back to Country A."
Mi Shu's pitiful look really won a wave of sympathy. Her girlfriends looked at her with heart - rending eyes, and their hatred for Xia Lin deepened.
"Mi Shu! How can you just give in like this? If you leave like this, that Xia Lin will be so smug! So you can't leave. Instead, you should stay for a long time. We sisters will work together and surely help you deal with that seducer Xia Lin!"
Mi Shu wiped her tears and said with red - rimmed eyes, "But what can we do? Jinyu protects Xia Lin so much."
Humph, it seemed that if Xiao Jinyu knew she continued to target Xia Lin, he might be angry and send her away. Mi Shu didn't want that. This was when good girlfriends came in handy!
"Give Xia Lin ten million yuan to make him leave Xiao Jinyu!" a girl with a round face suggested. But immediately, the girl sitting next to her scoffed, "What a stupid idea! Do you think we're acting out a Cinderella - and - the - CEO love story?"
