Chapter 11 - Recalcitrant Child

In the world that she had come from, even demonesses wouldn't like wearing such a short skirt. 

Lin Rui was planning to look for Uncle Zhong and have someone prepare some pants to replace the skirt of her school uniform when she suddenly heard the sounds of glass breaking. 

It turned out that the glass window in her room had been smashed.

The glass shattered and the shards were strewn all over the ground. Along with it, a soccer ball that had been signed by a certain soccer star rolled to Lin Rui's feet.

Uncle Zhong had just entered with some servants to get the errand done and was also shocked by the sudden incident. 

He stepped up quickly and walked towards the glass window with Lin Rui. 

After taking a look outside, Uncle Zhong said helplessly, "It's Young Master..."

After saying those words, Uncle Zhong looked helplessly at Lin Rui.

That little Young Master was none other than Lin Feng, the son of Xu Man and Lin Zikang. 

Lin Feng was seven years old this year, and he resembled Xu Man more than he did Lin Zikang; with large eyes and a clean appearance.

He was pretty cute. 

However, he was a bona fide devilish imp and a recalcitrant child. 

In Lin Zikang's heart, his daughter Lin Rui naturally ranked first.

However, in the heart of Lin Zikang's mother, old Mrs. Lin, her eldest grandson, Lin Feng, ranked first. 

Since Lin Rui was her biological granddaughter, she ought to be second to Lin Feng. 

However, it couldn't be helped that Lin Xiao was obedient, sensible, and had a glib tongue. She would endearingly and affectionately address old Mrs. Lin as 'Grandma', and was good at sucking up to her. 

On the other hand, the former owner Lin Rui often got into fights and developed the habit of drinking and smoking. She also had a fiery temper and was a typical delinquent. 

Hence, old Mrs. Lin's biological granddaughter ranked last in her heart. 

The former owner Lin Rui was hot-tempered while Lin Feng often provoked Lin Rui because he knew that he had the support of old Mrs. Lin who spoiled and pampered him excessively. 

Yet, Lin Rui fell for his trick all the time. 

Later on, Lin Feng would take the opportunity to go to old Mrs. Lin and complain to her that he had been bullied by Lin Rui. 

As a result, Lin Rui would always be reprimanded harshly by old Mrs. Lin. 

Uncle Zhong witnessed all of that and was well aware of the situation. 

Even though he had reminded Lin Zikang about it, the latter was, after all, still mainly concerned with tending to the matters outside of the home. 

How could he take care of the family's affairs?

Besides, Lin Rui indeed used to be incorrigible too. 

But now... 

Lin Feng stood on the terrace of his room, which was facing the window of Lin Rui's room.

Like a little devil, he lifted the corners of his lips and put on an innocent smile. 

"Sister, you're home. My ball rolled over to your side, will you give it back to me?"

He had clearly thrown it at her. 

Yet, he claimed that the ball rolled over. 

Usually, Lin Rui would have hollered angrily and stomped over to settle scores with Lin Feng or at least smashed the glass window of his room. 

Looking at Lin Rui worriedly, he said, "Miss Lin Rui..." 

With a straight face, Lin Rui picked up the ball and weighed it in her hand.

She asked with a smile, "Lin Feng, isn't this the ball that was signed by your favorite soccer player?"

"Yeah," Lin Feng frowned in confusion, and he wondered, 'Why isn't Sister angry this time?'

Lin Rui nodded and said, "Since it's a favorite thing of yours, you can't throw it randomly. I will return it to you."

Even Uncle Zhong, who was beside Lin Rui, was stunned, let alone Lin Feng. 

'Why is Miss Lin Rui so good-tempered today?'

'Her window was smashed by the ball, and not only is she not angry, but she's also returning the ball to him too.'

'Did the sun rise from the west today?'

Lin Feng was still a child after all, and hence, he didn't think much of it. He immediately nodded and said, "Sure." 

Lin Rui opened the window and wrapped her long fingers around the soccer ball signed by the world-famous soccer star Mei Dong. She then gently tossed it out of the window. 

She had really tossed it gently.

However, the ball flew up like it had wings and flew past Lin Feng's tiny outstretched hand, over the tall tree, the fence of the mansion, and...
