The living room of the Mo family mansion.
Her stepmother-in-law, He Lanfang, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, peeling a mandarin orange.
Just then, her daughter-in-law, Lin Xiao, came through the door carrying a decent-looking personal-sized watermelon weighing about three pounds.
At the entrance, Uncle Chen, the butler, bowed respectfully to the young madam of the household at a thirty-degree angle. “Young Madam, ”
“Mm, ”
“Good morning, Uncle Chen.”
Lin Xiao swayed her slender waist and headed straight for the living room without so much as glancing at the butler.
Uncle Chen’s mouth twitched. It was nearly eleven, almost lunchtime, and only the young madam still called this morning.
“Auntie Cao, could you prepare this for me? Don’t slice it. Bring me a spoon. I want to hold the whole thing and scoop it out as I eat.”
“Of course, Young Madam. I’ll take care of it right away.” Cao Feng, the maid who had been waiting nearby, accepted the watermelon with both hands and a deferential smile.
Lin Xiao shot He Lanfang, seated on the sofa, a glance, as usual not bothering to greet her.
He Lanfang glanced sideways at her arrival, tossed the mandarin peel onto the table, brushed the crumbs from her hands, pushed out her lower lip, and turned down the corners of her mouth. “Xiao, do you know what time it is? Even the sun outside can’t stand you today. It’s gone into hiding.”
Lin Xiao was used to her mother-in-law’s barbs. Besides, she wasn’t one to take them lying down. As the unacknowledged true daughter of the Lin family, she had grown up in the wilderness. She could take on the Supreme Old Lord above and beat up demons and monsters below. Piece of cake.
“Gone into hiding!”
“Pfft, ”
Lin Xiao sat down on the sofa opposite He Lanfang. “Madam He, ”
“By your logic, doesn’t that mean I won?”
