Chapter 129 - Make Progress
Lin Chen who was once again chopping fire wood with a down cast expression, didn't have any idea that his younger brother had just made a break through in his stuttering instead Lin Chen would cast furtive gaze at his elder brother who was working on the wooden boxes that Su Wan had asked him to make . Originally , Lin Chen never thought of working hard and just wanted to go along with the flow and act like a salted fish . Among his brothers he was the one who had the least expectations from life as he had seen a lot more hard days in his life , to Lin Chen he always thought that as long as he had two meals a day and clothes to wear with a roof over his head , he will be happy .
Thus , even though he was insecure and unhappy when he was compared to his brothers he never made an attempt to change his habits but now that he could see with his own eyes that his brothers were moving forward one by one , he was unhappy about the idea of being left behind . He looked at his eldest brother who was carving the exquisite wooden box then looked down at his own coarse and rough hands , this - will he be the only one who will keep chopping wood while his brothers will move on and on , and become successful men in the future ?
No , he didn't want that . Lin Chen clenched his fists and finally made a resolution even though he wasn't good with his hands and brains , he was good at one thing and that is to say flattery which was really important for in a businessman . His brain had multiple ideas regarding how to expand their make up business currently , with his sweet tongue and charming comments he was sure that he could even sell a broken pot of china .
Maybe he could make use of his ideas and flattering and smooth tongue to sell the products in their shop ? Now that Lin Chen had decided that to give up on his laziness and become a hard working good businessman, he was sure to do that !
Lin Chen 's mood finally took an upheaval and he started chopping the fire wood with a renewed enthusiasm, he was so pumped up that he couldn't wait to tell Wan Wan about his plans .
But just as he finished chopping up the wood and piled it all up in a basket to carry it all the way to the kitchen , he saw Lin Yu coming in his direction with a smile , humming a soft tune which clearly showed off his happy mood - seeing that the little brat was happy , Lin Chen 's happy mood took a turn for the worse , really his Wan Wan was too innocent falling for this brat's act ! What Lin Chen forgot was that he too kept falling in the trap of the same brat when he was a kid too - if not for Lin Yu 's slip up , he too would be lapping up Lin Yu 's act .
Lin Yu sensed his gaze and looked up , his smile as bright as the moon that was shining overhead . Lin Chen saw the smile that was stretched from one end of the cheek to other and suddenly felt , a tinge of annoyance - he couldn't help but place his basket down and look at Lin Yu with a sharp gaze " what did you do ?"
Lin Yu knew what exactly his brother was asking but he still liked the idea of playing around with his brother , with an expression of extreme innocence like he couldn't understand what Lin Chen meant , Lin Yu spoke " Third Br…Brother wh…what do you mean ? Will I re…really do somet…something untr….untrustworthy ? I just did what you to..told me , I apol….apologised to Wan Wan "
Lin Chen knew that if this brat really did apologised to Su Wan with extreme sincerity and truth , he wouldn't be this happy - thus there was only one explanation to this " you didn't really apologised did you ? With your smart brains I'm pretty sure that you did something unreasonable and acted like a cry baby and made Wan Wan forgive you , isn't that it ?"
Lin Chen knew how his fifth brother's mind worked , he was a guy who would never genuinely apologise to anyone at most , he would act like he was really upset and sorry and keep pushing the other until the other person forgives him - most likely Lin Yu did something like that with Su Wan either , After all if really showed his dark side and what a crooked man he was would Su Wan still not scold him ?
" Br..brother you wr..wrong me " since Lin Yu knew that his eldest brother and fourth brother was in the courtyard as well , he didn't dare to tease Lin Chen like he usually did . Instead he put on an aggrieved expression and sniffed pitifully " I re..really di..did apologise , pl..please don't call me a c..crybaby "
The latter half of the sentence wasn't spoken in a low voice at all , Lin Jing and Lin Rui clearly heard what Lin Yu said just now and they both looked up . Lin Chen couldn't see how Lin Yu and he looked together but if he could he would have seen that with his fierce expression and Lin Yu 's pitiful sobbing face - the scene looked like a villainess bullying a weak pitiful female lead .
It was Lin Chen alone who knew that actually the one he was scolding was a green tea bitch ! He knew but Lin Jing didn't , when he saw that his youngest brother was crying because of his third brother , he immediately let go of his tools and stood up .
Then he walked over to Lin Chen and Lin Yu with an angry expression and pulled Lin Yu behind him before turning to look at Lin Chen with a stoic yet unhappy expression and said a single word in his a deep rough voice "apologise " .
