39 -39: The Young Master is Waiting for You Upstairs
“Mr.
Qiao, thank you for taking me in today, but I think I should go back now.”
She had come to realize that running away wasn’t the answer.
Whatever she was going to face, she knew she needed to face it bravely.
She had already been a coward once because of Du Ruoxin, and she didn’t want to do it a second time.
Qiao Yiyang was a bit surprised, but seeing the determination in her eyes, he could only smile and say, “Alright, if you want to go, I won’t stop you.
I’ll take you back in a bit.”
“No need, I can go back by myself.” Lin Xinlan was insistent, and Qiao Yiyang, having no choice, agreed to do as she wished.
After thanking Auntie Long, Lin Xinlan took a taxi and bid them farewell.
On the way back, she called Rong Shaoze.
“Hello, I’ll be able to come back soon.
Are you home?”
The person on the other end of the line wanted to burst out in anger, but after hearing her, he restrained himself and said coldly, “I’m waiting for you!”
When Lin Xinlan returned to the villa, she could feel the oppressive atmosphere inside.
Lao Gu approached her and said indifferently, “Young Madam, the young master is waiting for you in the upstairs study.”
She nodded and headed upstairs.
Just as she pushed the door to the study open, Rong Shaoze, who was sitting at the desk, instinctively stood up, banging down on the desk as if he were about to unleash a torrent of words.
But seeing her, he swallowed them back abruptly.
Lin Xinlan’s expression was calm as she stepped forward and asked, “How is Madam Du now?”
Rong Shaoze stared at her and took a couple of seconds before answering, “She’s been hospitalized.
The situation is a bit serious and she’ll need to be observed for a few days.”
“Is there any danger?”
“…There shouldn’t be.”
“How is Mr.
Du doing?” she asked again.
Rong Shaoze felt something was off.
It should be him interrogating her, yet it turned into her questioning him.
Straitening his neck, he said coldly, “He is fine, just a small cut on his forehead.”
Lin Xinlan nodded, “That’s good.
I admit, I hurt them.
However, if you expect me to apologize to them, I can’t do that.”
“Lin Xinlan!” The anger Rong Shaoze had been holding back finally found an outlet.
“You do something wrong and still think you’re in the right, huh!
You have some nerve, injuring two people like that, feeling all self-important, are you?!
What exactly do you want?
What on earth did Ruoxin’s family do to you?
First, you cause Ruoxin to lie unconscious in the hospital, then you indirectly cause Xiaoxue’s death, and now you’ve injured her parents too.
Are you not satisfied until you’ve destroyed their entire family, is that it?!”
Rong Shaoze’s anger had no impact on her.
Lin Xinlan met his gaze with clear eyes, waiting for him to finish his outburst.
She pointed to her own face, her lips forming a slight smile, “Don’t tell me you haven’t seen my face.
This, it’s the work of their beating.”
Rong Shaoze had already guessed as much, a hint of coldness flashing through his eyes, as he responded lightly, “So what?
You killed Xiaoxue, they were bound to lash out at you.
You should’ve just taken the hits, but you had no right to fight back and hurt them that badly!
They hold a grudge against you for injuring Ruoxin; them hitting you a few times is already letting you off easy!
At least they agreed not to hold you accountable, not to take you to court!”
Lin Xinlan didn’t know what to say.
They hit her, but did she really deserve it?
She thought that their decision not to hold her accountable wasn’t out of kindness but rather because Rong Shaoze wouldn’t allow it. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
They hated her so much; if it weren’t for the agreement she had with Rong Shaoze, they would have had her imprisoned long ago, wishing she’d be locked away for decades.
And even if she were wrong, does that mean she should tolerate their insults and physical abuse over and over?
“Rong Shaoze, I don’t want to explain anything to you.”
