AMRWFA -Chapter 167 Big Sister Is So Cool

Lin Zhihe looked at her, a flicker of pain in her eyes.

At that moment, Tao Hong noticed that Brother Lu, who had been lying on the ground, had quietly gotten up and was holding a large brick in his hand.

She immediately cried out, “Big Sister, be careful!”

Just as Brother Lu got close, Lin Zhihe seemed to have eyes on the back of her head. She kicked backward, sending both him and the brick flying.

Tao Hong’s eyes sparkled again. “So cool!”

This time, Brother Lu and his group couldn’t get back up. Lin Zhihe’s personal “show” was over, and Ruan Yaoyao—who had been standing in the shadows with Qiao Hong—walked out with bodyguards. She ordered them to tie everyone up and send them to the police station.

She even specially called Ru Anzhi and told him to handle it.

Ru Anzhi: “……”

Mom, you’re overestimating me!

The one who really matters is you, not me!

“Big Sister, are you one of those rich young ladies from online novels?”

“No, I’m Aunt Xu’s bodyguard.”

“Wow! A bodyguard! You must be amazing!”

Lin Zhihe blushed a little.

Because along the way, no matter what Tao Hong asked her, it always ended with praise.

【Hahaha… how is she so cute!】

【Sisterly love~】

【Not bad, not bad. Looks like we won’t have to worry about them fighting in the future.】

Lin Zhihe: Aunt Xu, can you stop looking like you’re enjoying the drama?!

Sitting in the front passenger seat, deliberately leaving the back seats for the three sisters, Ruan Yaoyao acted like she heard nothing: I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!

The car stopped at a five-star hotel.

Tao Hong hesitated—could someone like her really stay in such a luxurious place?

Lin Zhihe put a hand on her shoulder and said, “Come on. You’ve had a scare today. Take a shower and get a good night’s rest. We’ll talk about everything tomorrow.”

Tao Hong thought that since Lin Zhihe had saved her, she couldn’t be a bad person.

So she gathered her courage and followed them inside.

The hotel facilities were so luxurious that Tao Hong had never imagined she would ever step into such a place in her life. She didn’t dare touch anything, afraid of breaking something.

Qiao An was the same, just better at hiding it.

Ruan Yaoyao thoughtfully asked the hotel to send a staff member to teach them how to use everything.

Without a hint of embarrassment, Lin Zhihe said, “None of us know how to use these. Could you show us?”

The staff member smiled and agreed, then guided them through the suite, explaining how everything worked.

As for Ruan Yaoyao, she plopped onto the sofa and leaned back lazily.

【So comfortable…】

【Finally, I can rest!】

【Good thing I arranged for the two youngest to meet later, otherwise Lin Zhihe would’ve cried seeing all her sisters like that. That would’ve been too heartbreaking.】

【Suppress first, then uplift—our ancestors’ strategies really work!】

Hearing her thoughts, Lin Zhihe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But she had to admit—if she had met the latter two first and then the former two, the emotional contrast would’ve been huge. She would’ve regretted not discovering everything sooner.

Yes… why didn’t she find out earlier?

If she had, maybe her second and third sisters…

“Even if you had found out earlier, it wouldn’t have helped. You were still a student back then. Even if you knew, you wouldn’t have been able to do anything.”

Ruan Yaoyao appeared on the balcony, holding two wine glasses.

Lin Zhihe turned around and realized that at some point, she had drifted away from her sisters and ended up alone on the balcony, lost in thought.

“Want a drink?” Ruan Yaoyao held a clear bottle and handed her one of the glasses. “Go ahead. I brought extra bodyguards this time—you’re off duty.”

“Thank you, Aunt Xu.” Lin Zhihe hesitated, then accepted it. But she noticed the drink in the glass was white.

Aren’t wine glasses usually for red wine?

She asked the question out loud.

Ruan Yaoyao said, “I don’t like red wine. I prefer rice wine made from grains—sweet, kind of like fruit wine. It’s really good.”

Aunt Xu, you don’t have to be this down-to-earth sometimes… Lin Zhihe thought, amused, and took a sip.

The moment she tasted it, she realized she had underestimated it.

This rice wine was definitely either specially supplied or brewed in a private estate. It was completely different from anything outside.

The sweetness was just right, and the aroma rich and smooth. Even someone like her, who didn’t enjoy alcohol, found herself wanting more after one sip.

Ruan Yaoyao smiled. “Rice wine isn’t strong. A small glass now and then feels quite nice. I’m the only one in my family who drinks it. My ex-husband always said I lacked taste—even said I couldn’t even drink red wine. My sons are just like their father; none of them like rice wine. Well, the third one is different. He didn’t grow up at home, so his tastes are more like his adoptive parents. Honestly, I think it’s better that way. With me and his biological father the way we are, taking after either of us would be a waste. Being a soldier is great. If he were like me—lazy and useless—he’d just be a rich second-generation good-for-nothing…”

“Aunt Xu, you’re not useless at all. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know I had sisters. I wouldn’t have found them so smoothly, or known how to take care of them…”

Lin Zhihe knew that Aunt Xu genuinely liked her, which was why she had gone to such lengths to arrange everything.

Otherwise, given Aunt Xu’s status, she wouldn’t bother with a mere bodyguard.

Ruan Yaoyao poured herself a glass and said, “For me, it’s nothing—just a word and it’s done. But for you, it’s different. If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll probably stay with me for life. My safety depends on you, so of course I have to treat you well. I’m counting on you to protect me.”

Under the dim balcony lights, Ruan Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled with laughter, like a sky full of stars, making her especially pleasant to look at.

Lin Zhihe thought—having someone like Aunt Xu in this world is truly a blessing.

She didn’t need to achieve great things or make grand contributions. Just by existing, quietly mending and patching things together, she made the world feel warmer and more beautiful.

And protecting a world like this felt worthwhile.

The two of them leaned on the balcony, drinking one glass after another, enjoying themselves thoroughly.

Back in the room, Qiao An, who had been lying on the bed waiting for a long time without seeing her big sister return, got up—only to find Tao Hong sneaking around near the balcony like a thief.

Just as she was about to ask what she was doing, Tao Hong stopped her.

“Shh…”

Tao Hong tiptoed back and pulled Qiao An into the room.

“Big Sister is talking privately with Aunt Xu. Don’t go interrupt.”

Qiao An twitched her lips. “Then what were you doing?”

“I just wanted to see what they were doing,” Tao Hong said without the slightest embarrassment. “After all, Big Sister is just Aunt Xu’s bodyguard. She brought me back on her own—I was worried Aunt Xu might get angry and dock her pay.”

Qiao An laughed. “She won’t. Aunt Xu specifically brought her here to find you.”

Realizing she had let something slip, Qiao An froze.

Tao Hong looked at her. “Specifically came to find me? Why? Do you know me?”
