Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

Xu Xinran chimed in, her tone laced with disdain: "Xuanxuan is right. That girl is getting more and more outrageous. If she really makes a scene at the hotel, who knows what kind of gossip will spread."

When she gets back, I'm going to give her a good talking-to and teach her a lesson about the Lin family rules!

Lin Wenbo, the eldest son of the Lin family, is thirty years old and has long been helping Lin Guodong manage the core business at the company. At this moment, his brows are furrowed and his fingers are rapidly swiping across the phone screen, obviously contacting friends to help find someone.

His tone was full of impatience and a hint of disdain for Lin Ruoxue: "Xuanxuan is so sensible, she knows how important our reputation is to our family."

It's almost evening, and Ruoxue is still nowhere to be seen. Her phone is off. She's probably out fooling around with some people again! She's a girl, never home, and she never gives me a moment's peace.

The second son, Lin Wenhao, is 27 years old. He got an easy job in a public institution because of his family connections and has never suffered any hardship since he was a child.

He slammed his hand on the table, his loud voice shaking the teacups on it, his expression full of disdain for Lin Ruoxue: "She dares to go to a hotel with a strange man, what else wouldn't she do?"

I think she's deliberately hiding from us, fooling around with that bastard! She's completely forgotten about the Lin family rules! When she gets back, we have to give her a good scolding and teach her a lesson about the rules of the house. Only Xuanxuan is kind-hearted and always speaks up for her.

The third son, Lin Wenxuan, is twenty-four years old and has just returned from studying abroad. He wears gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and looks refined, but he values ​​the family's interests more than his two older brothers.

His tone was calm but cold towards Lin Ruoxue: "Stop arguing, it's no use arguing."

Brother, you should quickly contact your friends at the hotel, quietly check the check-in information, and find the address before you do anything else. Don't make a big fuss and affect the company's stock price, or Dad will get really upset.

If Ruoxue were sensible, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

The youngest son, Lin Wenyang, is sixteen years old and still in high school. He has grown up in luxury and is spoiled by his family, which has made him somewhat arrogant. In addition, Lin Xuanxuan always complains about Lin Ruoxue in his ear, so he looks down on his older sister from the bottom of his heart.

He leaned against the corner of the sofa, his tone full of disdain: "I think she's just afraid that Dad will get angry and scold her, so she's deliberately not answering the phone and hiding from him."

Xu Xinran's face darkened as she listened to her sons' words, and she added with a cold laugh: "After all, they grew up in the countryside, so their vision is too narrow. They think that they can get away from the Lin family by messing around with a man."

How naive! Everything she eats, wears, and uses is provided by the Lin family. Without the Lin family, she'd be worse off than a beggar on the street! When she gets back, I'll cut off all her credit cards and see how she manages to cause trouble outside then!

Just as the Lin family was condemning Lin Ruoxue and had no appetite for dinner, a series of loud car engine roars suddenly came from outside the villa. The sound was dense and loud, not like one or two cars, but like a convoy.

Immediately afterward, the butler rushed in, his face pale and his voice urgent: "Master! Madam! Several luxury cars have arrived outside, all of them limited editions!"

Leading the group were members of the Luo family, followed by Luo Lingtian and Luo Yuntian! They also brought over a dozen bodyguards, all dressed in black suits, looking formidable! Miss Lin Ruoxue was among them!

"The Luo family?" Lin Guodong stood up abruptly, his face filled with shock. "Which Luo family? Is it the Luo family in the capital? How could Ruoxue know people from the Luo family? And even be with them?"

Xu Xinran was also stunned, then frowned, her tone filled with suspicion: "The Luo family of the capital? That's a top-tier wealthy family. How could Ruoxue possibly be able to associate with someone like that? Could it be that she found some imposter to put on a show? I knew she was dishonest and always looking for shortcuts!"

Lin Wenbo and Lin Wenhao were also full of doubt. They had naturally heard of the Luo family's reputation, which was far superior to that of the Lin family. Lin Ruoxue was only a daughter who had returned to the Lin family two or three years ago. How could she be involved with the Luo family?

Lin Xuanxuan's face turned pale instantly, her fingers gripping the hem of her skirt so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh. The Luo family? Luo Yuntian?

She suppressed her panic and moved closer to Xu Xinran, her voice trembling with fear: "Mom, could there be a mistake? I heard someone say that there's a newly emerging third-rate wealthy family in Hai City with the surname Luo. Maybe it's that Luo family? Sister Ruoxue just returned to the Lin family and might not be able to tell the difference. Could we have been deceived..."

As she spoke, she looked at everyone with concern, as if she were genuinely worried about Lin Ruoxue, but in reality, she wanted to diminish the Luo family's influence so as not to be outdone.

"The Luo family of Haishi?" The butler was somewhat taken aback and quickly explained, "Reporting to Master and Madam, the other party claims to be from the Luo family of Haishi."

As a butler for a wealthy family, he might not know all the wealthy families in the country, but he was familiar with the wealthy families in the surrounding cities. He knew that the Luo family in Shanghai was just a newly emerging third-rate wealthy family, which was worlds apart from the Luo family in the capital.

Lin Guodong's expression froze for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief. His brows furrowed, and his tone was filled with displeasure: "That newly emerging third-rate wealthy family, the Luo family, in Hai City? How could Lin Ruoxue be with them? Could it be that last night…?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the Lin family all understood what he meant: the person who was with Lin Ruoxue last night was very likely from the Haishi Luo family.

Xu Xinran immediately sneered, her tone full of contempt: "I thought he was some big shot, but he's just a young master from a third-rate wealthy family!"

The Luo family isn't even considered prominent in Haishi. Ruoxue really has good taste; she turned down the marriage partner our Lin family picked out for her and went to hang out with someone so insignificant. She has no taste at all! It seems kids raised in the countryside have such narrow horizons; they can't distinguish right from wrong!

Lin Xuanxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still showed worry: "Dad, Mom, no matter what, the Luo family is a wealthy family. Let's see how things go first, and don't let Sister Ruoxue suffer any injustice."

Her "consideration for the greater good" demeanor drew another round of praise from the Lin family.

The Lin family quieted down and sat on the sofa, each with their own thoughts. They completely abandoned their original idea of ​​going out to greet them, since they were just a third-rate wealthy family and there was no need to give them such a big face.

At that moment, at the entrance of the villa estate, Luo Lingtian stepped out of the Maybach first. His black suit accentuated his tall and imposing figure, and Qin Qingcheng followed closely behind, wearing a red dress that was both elegant and radiant.

Luo Yuntian protected Lin Ruoxue, with more than a dozen well-trained bodyguards standing in neat rows behind them. They walked towards the gate of the Lin family villa with great momentum, each step firm and powerful, as if carrying the weight of a thousand pounds.

"You two come in with us, the rest of you stay outside and keep watch." Luo Lingtian thought for a moment, then gave instructions to the bodyguards behind him. His voice was steady and carried an unquestionable authority.

Soon, led by the Lin family's servants, Luo Lingtian and his entourage passed through the garden and arrived at the villa's entrance.

"Ha! What a grand display. He's just a third-rate rich kid, yet he's brought over a dozen bodyguards." Inside the villa, Lin Wenbo looked at Luo Lingtian and his group through the window, a cold smile playing on his lips, his tone full of contempt.

The other members of the Lin family also showed disdain, but the head of the family, Lin Guodong, remained calm. He sat upright in the main seat with no ripples on his face, clearly a master of managing his expressions.

"Luo Lingtian greets Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin."

Upon entering the villa, Luo Lingtian immediately noticed that the Lin family members remained seated, showing no intention of even getting up to greet him. However, he didn't seem to care. He simply smiled calmly and took the initiative to greet them, his tone so even that he seemed oblivious to their slight.

"Lin Ruoxue, you still know how to come back?!" Lin Guodong completely ignored Luo Lingtian's greeting, his gaze suddenly sharpened, locking onto Lin Ruoxue, his voice full of stern rebuke.

"What, are they what you rely on to disobey my orders and come home so late?" As he said this, his gaze swept lightly over the Luo Lingtian and Luo Yuntian brothers, his scrutiny undisguised.

As for Qin Qingcheng, who was with Luo Lingtian, he ignored her and regarded her as just an ordinary female companion.

"This Lin family is really arrogant!" Luo Yuntian's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them, clearly angered by Lin Guodong's attitude.

"It's not so much about 'relying on' her. It's just that my unruly younger brother had an accident with Miss Lin last night. In order to protect Miss Lin's reputation, we discussed how to resolve the situation properly, which is why we are a little late."

Seeing the Lin family's aggressive attitude, Luo Lingtian's smile faded, and his tone became calm and even, yet it carried a hint of coldness.

"So, the one having an affair with Lin Ruoxue is your brother?" Lin Guodong suddenly raised his voice, angrily questioning him, his tone full of contempt.

"Dishonest?" Luo Lingtian's voice instantly turned cold, and his eyes sharpened. "Patriarch Lin, please watch your words. It was just an accident. Moreover, as Miss Lin's family, instead of caring about why she was drugged, you are only condemning her."

"Your Lin family's way of doing things is truly something to be 'impressed'!" He spoke the last few words very softly, but they were full of sarcasm.

"Drugned?" Upon hearing these two words, Lin Guodong's anger intensified, but due to Luo Lingtian's status as a "guest," he had to suppress his rage for the sake of the Lin family's reputation.

Of course, more importantly, although the Haishi Luo family is a newly emerging third-rate wealthy family, firstly, it is not in the same city as the Lin family, and secondly, the two families' business layouts have no overlap. Even if the Lin family wanted to target them, it would be difficult to find a place to start.

However, Lin Guodong soon frowned. In the morning, he only saw the photos sent by Lin Xuanxuan and subconsciously assumed that Lin Ruoxue was shamelessly seducing men, without thinking of anything else.

But judging from Luo Lingtian's words, Lin Ruoxue was drugged, which is why she is like this? If so, then the nature of the matter is completely different.

No matter what, Lin Ruoxue is still a daughter of the Lin family. To be schemed against like this outside is not only targeting Lin Ruoxue, but also shows that the Lin family is not respected.
