Meanwhile, at the Xing family, Wu Minxia said with a thunderous face, “Let’s eat first. We can’t all wait for her.”

Xing Linlin hesitated before taking the cake out from the fridge. “Aunt, I baked this—your favorite matcha flavor.”

Wu Minxia’s expression immediately softened. Her fondness for Xing Linlin grew further. “Wonderful. Linlin, you’re the best.”

Xing Linlin pursed her lips and smiled, shifting her gaze from Cheng Xingyang to Xing Zewu. Xing Zewu was melancholic, but he still showed a tinge of tenderness when he met Xing Linlin’s eyes.

A while later, the sound of a car—Xing Shu’s—emanated from outside the door. When Xing Shu entered with the cake and saw them happily chatting at the dining table, she immediately felt redundant.

“Dad, Mom, Big Brother,” Xing Shu called out, ignoring Cheng Xingyang and Xing Linlin. When she saw the cake on the table, she handed her cake to the nanny who was beside her. “Put it in the fridge.”

The nanny had worked in the Xing family for more than a decade and was very perceptive. She loosened her grip and the cake—that Xing Shu had labored over for four hours—fell to the ground with a thud.

Xing Shu darted a glare at the nanny. Disdain flashed across the nanny’s eyes, but she pretended to be guilty. “Miss, I’m sorry. This cake must have cost a lot of money. I… I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Before Xing Shu could speak, Wu Minxia jumped on her. “So what if you spent a lot of money? Is it as sincere as Linlin’s handmade cake? Linlin even specially chose my favorite Matcha flavor. What about you? You were still dawdling when I asked you to come home. You don’t even know to greet your own sister and fiancé when you enter the house. Where have all your years of upbringing gone to?” Xing Shu had been so obedient in the past. However, when Wu Minxia thought of Xing Linlin’s diary, she felt that it might all have been an act previously; and Xing Shu did not even bother to pretend anymore now.

Xing Shu suspired. She was like an outsider in this family. She would only be a detestation if she stayed; she should leave. However, Xing Shu did not leave. Instead, she chose a seat and sat down. “Mom, Happy Birthday. There’s a double celebration in the Xing family today.”

Wu Minxia’s face was glacial. She was irate at the sight of Xing Shu. However, Xing Shu’s next words stupefied Wu Minxia.

Xing Shu looked at Xing Zewu and said, “Brother, shouldn’t you put your relationship with Linlin into action? I saw the two of you kissing three years ago. Don’t tell me you still have not made her yours after three years?”

Xing Zewu was dumbstruck. He did not expect Xing Shu to bring this up suddenly. After all, Linlin had told him that Xing Shu could not accept her good friend becoming her sister-in-law.

The news was met with varied reactions. Wu Minxia’s face lit up as she looked at Xing Zewu and Xing Linlin in disbelief. Linlin was such a good girl. Of course, she was worthy of her son. Once they get married, Linlin would be a legitimate member of the Xing family.

“Xing Zewu, you and Linlin, you really…” Wu Minxia was overjoyed. She could barely wait for them to register their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Xing Zewu did not expect his relationship with Xing Linlin to be exposed in such a way. Moreover, Xing Linlin had never given him a concrete answer. Now that Xing Shu had blown the gaff, perhaps he could finally confirm his relationship with Linlin?

Xing Zewu looked at Xing Linlin, only to see her in a state of panic. Under the table, Xing Linlin was holding onto Cheng Xingyang’s clothes with a panicked expression.

Cheng Xingyang desperately wanted to protect Xoing Linlin. He felt that Xing Shu’s move of emotional blackmail was really vicious—she wanted to use the Xing family’s kindness in raising Xing Linlin for more than ten years to make Xing Linlin marry Xing Zewu!

Xing Linlin gritted her teeth and cursed Xing Shu in her heart. B*tch! This nosy b*tch!

Xing Shu felt great after dropping this bombshell. Nobody was in the mood to eat anymore, but Xing Shu’s appetite became better. She lowered her head and took a bite of the steak. “Brother, then I’ll congratulate you and Linlin in advance on getting married. I think the two of you are very compatible.”

Xing Shu had never been so pleasing to Xing Zewu’s eye. He looked at Xing Linlin tenderly and asked, “Linlin, what do you think?”

Xing Linlin bit her lip and tears fell. To Xing Zewu, they were tears of excitement; to Cheng Xingyang, they were tears of grievance.
