Faced with the "betrayal of kinship" gift presented by Chu Tiantian, Lin Xingzhu didn't hesitate to accept this unexpected windfall.
In fact, it wasn't hard to understand Chu Tiantian's reasoning. She had learned a lesson from the person she liked, leading to a change in her thinking, and she didn't want her family to repeat the same mistakes.
Thus, this was a win-win situation for both her and Bai Xiying, as well as for Chu Tiantian.
With that, Lin Xingzhu smiled and took out another USB drive from her bag, handing it to Chu Tiantian.
"From your tone, you seem quite confident about the outcome of this," Lin Xingzhu said. "Since that's the case, you revealing this matter will naturally yield better results."
She wasn't worried that Chu Tiantian would keep the USB drive for herself; after all, she had more than one backup of the information she had gathered.
However, Lin Xingzhu agreed with Chu Tiantian's earlier statement that she could give it to her mother herself.
Chu Tiantian looked at Lin Xingzhu's calm demeanor, slightly surprised. "... It seems you've already found the best way to deal with my sister."
Strike at the right moment; no matter how spoiled and overbearing Chu Xiahua was, there were still two major mountains looming over her.
Mrs. Chu seemed to have a deep-seated issue due to the actions of Mr. Chu in the past. Lin Xingzhu had no doubt that once Mrs. Chu learned about Chu Xiahua's situation, she wouldn't remain indifferent or protect her—just look at her attitude towards the recent campus violence incident involving Chu Xiahua.
The main reason Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying had come today was to see Mrs. Chu one last time to confirm her stance.
But now, with Chu Tiantian's support, their original plan could be temporarily set aside for someone else to handle.
After saying this, Chu Tiantian wasn't angry; she calmly stated, "I will give these two USBs to my mother today."
Lin Xingzhu's expression shifted slightly at her words. "Tomorrow would be fine too; after all, today is your eighteenth birthday."
Turning eighteen is a special occasion, no matter how you look at it.
Who would have thought that upon hearing this, Chu Tiantian's expression darkened, visibly becoming forlorn. "What does turning eighteen mean? The person I want to see isn't here, so this birthday banquet has no significance."
Lin Xingzhu: "..."
Her tone sounded so sad.
Yet, with her hardened heart, Lin Xingzhu showed no sign of softening, smiling slightly in agreement. "You have a point."
