    Chapter 93: Sister, Sister

    Shu Lin and Gu Xiao’s mouths dropped open upon hearing Shu Lingxiao’s words. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with admiration.

    Gu Xiao, watching Shu Lingxiao on stage, exclaimed incessantly:

    “Wow, babe, our sister is way too cool! She’s so badass! Doesn’t that sound so satisfying? Wow, wow!”

    Shu Lin proudly puffed out his chest, his eyes filled with worship for Shu Lingxiao:

    “Of course! My sister has always been this cool. She’s amazing.”

    Gu Xiao deliberately teased him:

    “Then tell me honestly, who’s more amazing, our sister or your husband?”

    “No matter who asks, from the bottom of my heart, I believe our sister is more amazing.”

    “As for you, that’s not so certain.”

    Shu Lin, seeing his smug look, immediately got annoyed and landed a chop on his head:

    “Trying to stir up trouble, aren’t you? Always eager for a spectacle, aren’t you?!”

    “Hmph, I’m deducting two chicken legs from your meals from now on, see if you dare to incite discord again?!”

    Gu Xiao clutched his head, “Don’t, babe! I won’t do it again next time.”

    Shu Lin: “…”

    In reality, Shu Lingxiao’s statement was quite ambiguous.

    However, due to her official status, its credibility was extremely high.

    These few words were truly effective in diverting the situation.

    On one hand, it reawakened people’s memories of Pei Yuan’s scandalous affairs.

    On the other hand, it implied that during the forum, Pei Yuan had done something despicable that no one knew about.

    For example, using his pheromones to harass the Shao family Omega sitting next to him.

    Shu Lingxiao’s words were directed at Pei Yuan, but without naming him directly, leaving him unable to explain.

    Because everyone knew that the more he explained, the worse it would look.

    The director, not wanting to miss the excitement, specifically switched the camera to Pei Yuan.

    The camera captured the expression of him slightly furrowing his brows, a flicker in his eyes.

    But it was fleeting, and soon he regained his composure and maintained his smile.

    Shao Shiyan looked at Shu Lingxiao, his eyes filled with joy and admiration.

    Wow, sister is so badass and cool!

    Was sister sticking up for him just now?

    Sister, she’s so charming, he can’t help but like her.

    The audience was in an uproar, with all sorts of speculations, pushing Pei Yuan into the spotlight again.

    Especially the students present.

    They were already full of youthful vigor and had long been unhappy with Pei Yuan.

    During the forum, Pei Yuan repeatedly suppressed Shao Shiyan, stealing the limelight and making Shao Shiyan, who was also a guest, seem to have no say.

    This made the students think that when they first entered the workplace in the future, they would be like Shao Shiyan on stage, bullied by so-called senior superiors or predecessors, with no say at all.

    Feeling sympathetic, they supported Shao Shiyan even more and disliked Pei Yuan.

    Not only were the university students on site like this, but the people watching the live broadcast online were even more indignant and had already started scolding in the comments section.

    The media reporters quickly seized on this explosive topic and raised their cameras and recording equipment, ready to conduct interviews at any time.

    They knew that Shu Lingxiao’s remarks would undoubtedly become tomorrow’s headlines.

    Especially the subtle confrontation between her and Pei Yuan, which added a dramatic flair to the forum.

    After the forum ended, Pei Yuan wanted to leave quickly to avoid being besieged by the media.

    However, as soon as he stood up, a reporter’s sharp question echoed throughout the auditorium.

    “Minister Pei, a message has just come out that the Omega you’re dating went to a certain hospital today. Can you explain what’s going on?”

    “Many people speculate that after he finishes some kind of surgery at the hospital, you will announce your breakup with him. Is the netizen’s speculation correct?”

    This question was like a bomb, instantly detonating the entire venue.

    The media reporters swarmed up, surrounding Pei Yuan, the microphones and cameras almost hitting his face.

    Pei Yuan’s face instantly turned ashen, trying to push through the crowd, but the reporters clearly didn’t intend to let him go easily.

    At the same time, Shu Lingxiao and Shao Shiyan, seeing the situation was not good, quickly left from the back door of the auditorium.

    The two walked quickly to the parking lot, Shu Lingxiao went straight to her car, ready to leave.

    Shao Shiyan suddenly stopped, clutching his chest, his face a little pale.

    “Lingxiao-jie…” His voice was weak, with a hint of pleading, “Pei Yuan’s pheromones affected me just now, I’m a little uncomfortable… Can you give me a ride back in your car?”

    Shu Lingxiao stopped and frowned, “Don’t you have your own driver?”

    Shao Shiyan put on a pitiful look:

    “The driver said something happened on the way and he can’t get here for a while. Sister, I’m really uncomfortable, just give me a ride.”

    Shu Lingxiao obviously didn’t believe his words and refused coldly: “Then take a taxi.”

    Seeing that she wouldn’t budge, Shao Shiyan simply squatted down, clutching his chest, his voice even weaker:

    “Then, then okay… If sister is busy, then, then go first, don’t worry about me…”

    “Sister, I’m dizzy and can’t walk, I’ll rest here for a while first, then, then…”

    In the end, he could hardly hear his voice.

    Shu Lingxiao hesitated, looking at him like this.

    She could leave, but if someone saw Shao Shiyan like this, it would inevitably cause unnecessary speculation and trouble.

    Now that she was on the Shao family’s ship, she couldn’t ignore the Shao family, logically or emotionally.

    She made a decisive decision and stepped forward to help Shao Shiyan up, “Hurry up and get in the car, don’t let the reporters catch up.”

    “Yes, yes, thank you, sister.”

    Shao Shiyan sat in the passenger seat, turned his face, and revealed a smug smile.

    His second brother was right.

    Sister is a soft-hearted person.

    The car slowly drove out of the parking lot, Shu Lingxiao focused on driving, not looking sideways.

    Shao Shiyan secretly glanced at her a few times, and seeing that she still had no expression, he felt a little disappointed, but still tried to strike up a conversation.

    “Sister, you were really cool just now, your speech was incisive, it must be a headache for Pei Yuan.”

    Shu Lingxiao glanced at him, but didn’t respond to his words.

    Shao Shiyan was not discouraged and continued:

    “Sister, I admire you so much, you’re decisive and never drag your feet. I wish I could be like you.”

    “But, sister, I’m working hard to be like you, don’t worry, I will definitely become a qualified group chairman in the future.”

    Shu Lingxiao still didn’t respond, just looking at the road ahead.

    Shao Shiyan pursed his lips, his eyes lit up, and asked again:

    “Sister, what do you think of Pei Yuan’s matter just now?”
