"I'm really sorry!"

After eating his fill, as Lin Jie was leaving Zhujia Port, Luo Shanshan specially came over to apologize again.

Lin Jie waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Your brother already apologized at the time, there's no need for you to apologize again. Though I might not have the broadest heart, I wouldn't hold a grudge over such a small matter."

Luo Shanshan smiled helplessly and said, "Anyone could see that my brother's apology was perfunctory. I'm not worried about you holding a grudge against him; I'm worried about you being dissatisfied with my father."

"After all, my father dealt with the matter rather leniently, and that kid just put on a show, and my father let it go."

Lin Jie remained silent for a moment.

Indeed, he was somewhat dissatisfied with how Luo Wantong handled the situation!

The kid had jumped out to criticize Lin Jie for being pretentious by not drinking wine, and immediately Zhang Daya and Zhu Qiang spoke up in defense, pointing out that Lin Jie couldn't drink due to health reasons, not out of choice.

Luo Wantong had ordered the kid to apologize.

The kid, unwilling and vague, muttered a "sorry" while looking elsewhere. This kind of apology was even more maddening than not apologizing at all.

Yet, Luo Wantong just laughed it off and then moved on with them to the next table.

"A few years after my mother passed away, my father remarried a local for some reason. As for this younger brother, while you can't say my father doesn't love him, he tries to satisfy whatever he wants anyway."

"But..."

Walking beside Lin Jie on the path to the clinic, Luo Shanshan said softly, "But when it comes to the education of my younger brother, my father is extremely perfunctory. Like Pengyi, my father had sent him to the United States early on."

"Whether Pengyi was willing or not, liked it or not, he hired several private tutors and a strict manager to force him through a complete education from high school to university!"

"But as soon as my younger brother pouted or whined, claimed he wouldn't go to school, my father would just indulge him!"

"You mean..."

Lin Jie didn't finish his sentence, but Luo Shanshan understood what he meant.

She nodded, somewhat bitterly saying, "I share the same suspicion as you, that it seems my father is deliberately spoiling my younger brother!"

Lin Jie spoke softly, "This might be a good thing for you and Luo Pengyi, right? In the future, no one will be competing with you for the family inheritance! Stories of siblings from wealthy families fighting over inheritance are quite common in novels and movies!"

Luo Shanshan was silent for a while and said, "I'm only interested in medicine!"

It was Saturday, and Li Ting had spent the entire afternoon with Lin Miao! At this time, the two of them were waiting for Lin Jie to return home in the apartment.

Knowing this, Lin Jie hurried back home, finding Li Ting cutting vegetables in the kitchen while Lin Miao was watching the pot on the stove.

He was very curious and asked, "What are two people who can't cook busy with? At this hour, you haven't had dinner yet?"

Lin Miao stirred the stainless steel pot used for steaming bread with a ladle, excitedly saying, "We're making a famous Northeast dish called 'random stew'! It's something me and Tingting learned from a senior we just met today!"

"It's a very simple dish to make, and it's perfect for cold weather. Ideal for someone like me who's not good at cooking!"

Lin Jie walked over, curiously peeking into the pot, seeing a colorful mixture, he couldn't help but say, "What is this? It looks like a mess, just like pig slop!"

"Ah, you know nothing!"

Lin Miao angrily pushed Lin Jie away, shouting, "This is called 'random stew', okay?"

"We put in potatoes, carrots, tofu, tomatoes, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, shiitake mushrooms, and other common vegetables, along with big chunks of pork, ribs, and pig's trotters."

"When it's done, it'll definitely smell delicious. Try smelling it, isn't it fragrant?"

Lin Jie shook his head with disdain, saying, "Whether it's fragrant or not is secondary. You've made such a big pot. Unless you two have pig-like appetites, you'll be eating this for two or three days!"

"Ah, that's really a big problem!"

Lin Miao turned to Li Ting, who was slicing winter melon, and shouted, "Stop cutting, we can't eat this much!"

Li Ting immediately dropped the knife, pouted, shuffled slowly into the living room with bowlegs.

Seeing her walk that way, Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh, "Li Ting, what's up with you? Why are you walking like a crab?"

Li Ting looked at Lin Jie and said tearfully, "It's all Miaomiao's fault, you should give her a good lesson."

Lin Miao giggled, embarrassed, saying, "In the afternoon, Tingting saw many people in the studio practicing splits and back bends for shape exercises, and she joined them."

She gestured with her hands and said, "While she was doing the splits, I just gently pressed her shoulder like this..."

"Gently? You pressed really hard, okay? Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone all the way down!" Li Ting shouted, complaining to Lin Jie.

"Are you hurt?" Lin Jie walked over and supported her!

Li Ting seized the opportunity to lean most of her body against Lin Jie, saying, "I'm fine, thanks to regular workouts in the gym lately. Though I stretch out often for legs and splits, I've never done it to such an extent before!"

She spoke in a soft and aggrieved voice, "It really hurts a lot, I've never felt such pain!"

Lin Jie helped her towards the living room sofa, and Lin Miao's voice came from the back, "I'm just helping you, as they say, 'a long agony is worse than a short one'. Once you stretch your legs open all at once, you just need to exercise properly after to maintain the flexibility!"

Lin Miao added mischievously, "I heard in situations like this, it unlocks many positions. When you get married and find it beneficial, you'll thank me."

With those words, Lin Jie's waist was pinched by Li Ting with considerable force.

It hurt Lin Jie so much that he was gasping silently in pain without daring to make a sound!

"This is called brothers paying for their sisters' debts!" Li Ting whispered with a hint of glee in Lin Jie's ear!

Over half an hour later, even though Lin Jie had already eaten, before him was still placed a large bowl of stew!

The dish had vegetables that had been cooked till they dissolved into a mushy state, mixed together and some mashed onto a big piece of pig's trotter.

Lin Jie frowned; looking at the dish, he had little appetite, especially after just having a sumptuous feast for dinner!

"Brother, I worked hard to stew this, you wouldn't want your cute and beautiful sister to be sad, would you?" Lin Miao looked at him with wide eyes.

Li Ting also threatened, "Most of the vegetables and meat were cut by me, piece by piece, so it's your choice whether to eat it or not!"

With no other choice, Lin Jie had to yield to the two women's pressure; with a resolute spirit, he scooped a large spoonful into his mouth!

Hmm, despite its disastrous appearance, the dish's flavor was surprisingly rich and flavorful!

Lin Jie nodded, praising, "The taste is indeed good, delicious!"

Lin Miao happily waved her spoon and said, "Tingting, let's eat! Brother said it's delicious, so it must be!"

Li Ting was skeptical, staring at Lin Jie's face, and cautiously said, "Miaomiao, don't be fooled by him. It's quite common for people to act like something's delicious when it's not!"

Lin Miao popped a piece of rib into her mouth and mumbled, "It's really good! Brother wasn't lying; when he does lie, he unconsciously drags out the last syllable of his words!"

Li Ting's eyes lit up, questioning, "Is that true?"

Lin Jie was also taken aback, not knowing if that was true about himself, and looked curiously at Lin Miao.

Realizing she may have spilled the beans, Lin Miao shook her head vigorously, sternly saying, "It's false, false, I just made it up to fool you both, brother never lies!"

Li Ting and Lin Jie both huffed, guessing that Lin Miao's unintentional remark earlier was probably somewhat accurate.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang!

Lin Jie got up to open the door, surprised to find Han Wenbin standing outside!

He handed an invitation to Lin Jie, with a gentle smile on his face, saying, "Tomorrow night, Xiaoxiao and I are hosting our engagement party. Your invitation is worth me delivering personally!"
