309 Humiliation

Facing the sharp-tongued and aggressive Fang Xiaonuan, Mr. Lin’s expression darkened. “I was, but my memory’s not that good.”

“Oh, I see,” Fang Xiaonuan said as if she had a sudden realization. “That’s true. Director Lin, you’re getting older. A bad memory is only to be expected. I wonder how old you are this year. 80?”

“I’m just over 50 this year,” said Mr. Lin through gritted teeth.

Fang Xiaonuan turned to her husband. “Hubby, don’t you think it’s strange? Mr. Lin is only in his fifties. Why does he look like he’s in his eighties?”

Ji Lingchen’s wife’s ability to manipulate people had improved again. It seemed like Ji Wen’s detainment had made her very angry.

Mr. Lin lost control of his emotions after hearing Fang Xiaonuan’s words, but he could not say what he wanted to say as she could. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said, “Miss Fang, you have no manners.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “You’re very rude, Director Lin!”

Ji Lingchen interrupted their bickering. “Where’s my nephew?”

Mr. Lin then remembered the business he had to attend to. He quickly gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper turned around to bring Ji Wen out.

While they were waiting, Mr. Lin told Ji Lingchen, “CEO Ji, no matter what, I’m your savior. You can’t bite the hand that feeds you, can you? Isn’t it a bit too much for you to let your nephew cause trouble in my shop and affect my business?”

Ji Lingchen asked curiously, “Mr. Lin, how did you find out that I sent my nephew to cause trouble? Besides, why would I let him cause trouble? I won’t be slandered for no reason. If you don’t make things clear today, I won’t let this slide!”

His eyes were sharp, and he stared directly at Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin did not dare to look at him.

After a while, Ji Wen came out.

Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists when she saw his arm being held. The Lin family was humiliating him! Only criminals should be held like this.

At this moment, a large hand landed on top of hers, and she turned to look at her husband. Her husband did not look at her. Instead, he coldly looked at Mr. Lin, as if he was looking at a dead man. Although his eyes were cold, he asked with a smile, “Mr. Lin, tell me now. How did my nephew cause trouble in your store?”

“It’s not a big deal,” Mr. Lin said. “He just broke a few glasses.”

Ji Lingchen said, “It seems like the cups in your shop are very expensive. You’re even holding my nephew like this. Name your price.”

Ji Wen was released. He stood up straight with a serious expression. His eyes were somewhat similar to Ji Lingchen’s, but he was slightly more inexperienced. He sat beside Ji Lingchen without saying a word.

“Just apologize,” Mr. Lin said. “It’s not that expensive.”

Probably because he had a backer, Ji Wen finally exploded. “Apologize to you, my *ss! I didn’t ask you to apologize to me, and you’re taking advantage of me? Other people are thick-skinned, but you’re completely shameless!”

Fang Xiaonuan remained silent. She casually picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a look at the material, and then threw it forcefully at Mr. Lin’s feet.

With a loud crash, the teacup shattered on the ground, and the tea splashed all over Mr. Lin’s shoes and trousers.

He glared at Fang Xiaonuan angrily, but Fang Xiaonuan did not seem to mind. She smiled at Director Lin and said, “Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Lin. My hand slipped.”

“Mr. Lin, why don’t you detain me too? Or should I apologize too?”

Director Lin felt that Fang Xiaonuan was here to provoke him. “Fang Xiaonuan, I really don’t know how Director Fang has educated you. You’re so unruly.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “I don’t know what your father taught you. You’re digging your own grave. You’re quite old, yet you’re still having such sweet dreams!”

“Fang Xiaonuan, you’d better watch your mouth!” Lin Rou, who had been eavesdropping, could not help but jump out and say something.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Ugh, how could I have forgotten about you? What kind of father has raised a daughter like you? You’re even willing to hide in the dark to eavesdrop on others. You’re just like a rat in the sewers!”

Lin Rou pointed at Fang Xiaonuan. “Fang Xiaonuan, aren’t you afraid that Lingchen will find your face disgusting?” she asked.

Fang Xiaonuan raised her chin and said smugly, “I’m sorry, but my husband likes me like this. He loves me to death. He likes my sharp tongue and my merciless fighting skills. Ms. Lin, if you don’t believe me, you can stand there and not move. Let me slap you a few times.”

“You little brat!” Lin Rou picked up a cup on the coffee table and was about to splash water on Fang Xiaonuan.

Ji Lingchen’s eyes and reflexes were sharp. He picked up the teacup and threw it at Lin Rou’s hand.

Before the cup Lin Rou had thrown out could fly forward, it was smashed by another cup, and the fragments flew everywhere.

Fang Xiaonuan had not expected her husband to throw it so accurately. She felt that her husband was extremely attractive now. “Hubby, teach me. I want to learn how to throw cups too!”

Ji Lingchen was speechless. Was this the time for her admiration?

“I’ll teach you when we get home.”

Fang Xiaonuan nodded in excitement.
