Chapter 8 Viciousness
- Lin Feng was so angry his teeth were chattering.
- He had already lowered himself and begged so humbly, and this was the attitude Jiang Ning was giving him?
- He had already provided a way out for them and they didn’t know how to take it!
- “You…Just you wait!”
- Lin Feng shouted this then made a run for it, afraid that Jiang Ning might go crazy and hit him again.
- Sumei exchanged glances at Lin Wen, then they both looked at Lin Yuzhen.
- “Are we making too much of a fuss?”
- Lin Feng’s last words before leaving were obviously a threat.
- Lin Yuzhen couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
- She knew all too well what sort of people Lin Qiang and his son were.
- He had never looked at Lin Wen as his own younger brother, so naturally he didn’t treat Lin Wen’s family as relatives.
- If they upset him, this man was capable of doing anything.
- “Not at all.”
- Jiang Ning calmly cut in. “He told us to wait, so we’ll wait.”
- With that, Jiang Ning started clearing the dishes. Sumei rushed over to do it instead when she saw him start clearing.
- “Come come, I’ll do it.”
- This son-in-law had quite the temper.
- She didn’t realize it before, but now it was clear that Jiang Ning was going to protect their family and stop Lin Qiang and son from bullying them.
- Was this really a homeless person?
- “It’s been hard on you, Mum,” Jiang Ning smiled as he said this.
- He was really quick to fit into the role.
- Lin Wen was still feeling uneasy but he didn’t know what to say. He wasn’t the one with the final say in this family anyway.
- So he could only hide in his room again and timidly closed the door firmly behind him.
- “Now you’ve really offended them.”
- Lin Yuzhen sighed.
- It was already not bad that Lin Feng had come to apologize. She’d never seen Lin Feng humble himself before.
- She was still thinking that she should just let it go before it blows up, so that it wouldn’t increase the tension within the family.
- But Jiang Ning didn’t seem to care for any of this, and insisted that Lin Qiang come personally to apologize.
- How was this even possible?
- That mean, selfish and prideful uncle of hers was never going to humbly apologize to them.
- “You’re wrong.”
- Jiang Ning’s eyes were clean and clear. “They are the ones who have offended me.”
- “I’ve said it before. I will not let anybody bully you.”
- That look in his eyes sent Lin Yuzhen into a panic.
- ……
- One hour passed.
- Sumei had finished washing the dishes. When she saw that Jiang Ning had gone to bathe, she quickly ran into Lin Yuzhen’s room.
- “Mum?”
- “Yuzhen, who is Jiang Ning really?”
- Sumei whispered, “Somehow I feel he treats you differently.”
- Lin Yuzhen blushed.
- “What are you talking about, we don’t know each other at all.”
- She bit her lips. From the first time she saw Jiang Ning, he had constantly protected her and her family from being bullied by Lin Qiang and son.
- “You’re really going to let him sleep here tonight?”
- Sumei was worried about this.
- Jiang Ning was Lin Yuzhen’s husband on paper, but they weren’t willing to accept this just yet.
- “He has mental illness!”
- She was afraid Jiang Ning might hurt Lin Yuzhen.
- Lin Yuzhen hesitated for a while, then she thought of that clean and clear look in Jiang Ning’s eyes.
- “He won’t hurt me.”
- Kacha…
- The bathroom door opened and Sumei quickly made her way out, mouthing to her daughter: There’s an iron bat in my room, just shout if anything happens!
- Lin Yuzhen’s face was red and her heart was pounding very loudly.
- Was she really going to let Jiang Ning sleep in her room?
- BOM BOM BOM!
- Someone was banging on the main door again.
- Lin Wen was like a frightened cat, all his hair standing on end.
- Sumei’s face was equally pale.
- He was here!
- Lin Qiang was here!
- Given his temperament, there was no way he was going to tolerate this!
- They were doomed!
- Even Lin Yuzhen couldn’t help but become nervous. She walked into the living room and stared at the door, as if there were a dozen gangsters with baseball bats behind that door.
- The whole family behaved as if they were going to meet a formidable foe!
- “Open the door.”
- Jiang Ning was using a towel to wipe his hair as he smiled and said, “We’ve got guests.”
- Lin Yuzhen really didn’t know what to do with this relaxed attitude of his. Was this guy really unafraid? Or he just didn’t care?
- She walked to the door and opened it. Lin Qiang was standing there with Lin Feng behind him.
- “Yuzhen.”
- Lin Qiang’s face was rather nasty looking.
- But he still managed to squeeze a smile out. “Your uncle has come here specially to apologize to you!”
- Lin Yuzhen froze.
- The two eavesdropping with their ears to their room door also froze.
- Lin Qiang had really come here to apologize?
- “Firing you was a misunderstanding, all this is Lin Feng’s fault and I’ve already taught him a lesson.”
- Lin Qiang pointed to his son, and Lin Feng immediately bowed his head, “I’m sorry Yuzhen, I was wrong, please forgive me.”
- “Some of this was my fault too. I didn’t check properly before firing you, that was wrong of me.”
- Lin Qiang continued, “I hope you can forgive me. The company really needs you.”
- His tone was as sincere as it could be.
- If Lin Yuzhen still didn’t agree to come back, there was nothing else he could do.
- “Tomorrow, I’ll be at the office entrance to receive you and reinstate you, then I will also explain what happened to everybody personally so as to do you justice,” said Lin Qiang.
- His apology was filled with sincerity, and his attitude was extremely humble now.
- Lin Yuzhen didn’t know what to do when she saw Lin Qiang bow slightly.
- She turned back to look at Jiang Ning and saw him nod.
- “Ok Uncle Qiang, I’ll go to work tomorrow.”
- “Sure, I’ll wait for you at the main entrance of the Lin Group office tomorrow. Goodnight.”
- The father and son then left.
- Lin Yuzhen closed the door.
- Disbelief was still written all over Lin Yuzhen’s face.
- Lin Qiang had come personally to her house to apologize!
- With such a sincere attitude!
- When had she ever seen him like that?
- “My brother really came to apologize?”
- Lin Wen pushed the door open, his lips trembling and his eyes were a little red.
- His family had been bullied so badly by Lin Qiang all these years!
- When did he ever apologize for any of that?
- To Lin Qiang, Lin Wen was a disgrace to the Lin family. If they weren’t related by blood, Lin Qiang would have chased them out of the family long ago!
- “He came to apologize!”
- “He came to do that!”
- Sumei was also very excited about this. She had clearly suppressed her feelings for too long, and was a little out of control now.
- As a daughter-in-law of the Lins, she had been subject not just to Lin Xiao’s mood, but also to Lin Qiang, and she had quietly endured for decades now.
- When she heard how Lin Qiang had apologized so humbly earlier, Sumei couldn’t hold in her emotions anymore.
- “This damned bastard, so the day has come when he begs us.”
- Sumei was about to cry.
- When she saw the way her parents reacted, Lin Yuzhen took in a deep breath.
- She had always known that her parents had been bullied by this uncle, and had been looked down upon and treated poorly.
- But today, even though it was just once, it was enough to see Lin Qiang bow his head and apologize.
- “From now on, nobody will cause you to suffer anymore.”
- Jiang Ning finished drying his hair. “Nobody can bully my wife, so nobody can bully my father-in-law and mother-in-law either.”
- Lin Yuzhen and family looked dumbfounded at Jiang Ning.
- This middle aged son-in-law who married into the family was somehow different from other people.
- On the other side, Lin Qiang’s face had darkened since they left Lin Yuzhen’s house, and it was so dark it was terrifying.
- Lin Feng followed behind his father and didn’t dare to say a single word.
- Jiang Ning forcing Lin Qiang to go up personally to humbly apologize was as good as giving a good slap in the face!
- “Tell all the workers to come in one hour earlier to wait for Lin Yuzhen at the office entrance tomorrow!”
- Lin Qiang smiled coldly, his face full of viciousness. “Also, secretly spread the word that Lin Yuzhen is sleeping with CEO Huang, and wants to force the Lin Group to bow to her!”
- “I’m going to see whether Lin Yuzhen is thick-skinned enough to stay in Lin Group or not!”
