TFWYH – Chapter 458 He Reaps What He Sows

Ling Yue was completely stunned. When she came back to her senses, she began struggling. “Let go of me! Who are you? I don’t even know you!”

“Smack—”

The burly man slapped Ling Yue across the face and pointed at her as he cursed, “You don’t even recognize your own brother? I think you’ve been bewitched by this wild man! Today I’ll teach you and this dog—”

He stopped mid-sentence and turned to glare viciously at Jin Lin.

But as he stared, the fierceness in his eyes gradually turned into terror. With a thud, he suddenly dropped to his knees before Jin Lin.

“Jin—Jin—Jin—Jin…”

“Jin your damn head!” Jin Lin stepped forward and kicked him hard in the chest, then pulled Ling Yue behind him protectively. He glared at the man viciously. “Wang Er Mazi, you’ve got some nerve. You dare hit my sister?”

Sister?

Wang Er Mazi was dumbfounded and immediately began begging for mercy. “Master Jin, I’m sorry! I didn’t know she was your sister. I was just entrusted by someone to teach this girl a lesson. If I had known this young lady was your sister, even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn’t have dared lay a hand on her!”

“Who sent you? Speak—now!”

“It was Wen Dai’er! She gave me ten taels of silver…”

Wang Er Mazi was so frightened he nearly wet himself, cursing Wen Dai’er countless times in his heart.

Damn it, why would you provoke Master Jin for no reason? If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!

This is over!

Hearing this, Jin Lin looked toward the doorway and, sure enough, caught sight of a pair of embroidered shoes hastily withdrawing.

He strode out and saw Wen Dai’er and Cui Liu running quickly downstairs.

“Shopkeeper Li, stop them for me!” Jin Lin ordered sharply.

The shopkeeper hurriedly had the waiters seize Wen Dai’er and Cui Liu.

“Let me go! Let me go! I don’t know anything—I really don’t know anything!” Wen Dai’er had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened she burst into tears.

The shopkeeper didn’t care whether she cried or not—he was furious.

When Wang Er Mazi had stormed in earlier, he thought the man was just looking for someone. He never expected that fool to barge straight into Master Jin’s private room. It all happened so fast he didn’t even have time to stop him!

Jin Lin quickly came downstairs and looked Wen Dai’er up and down. “Who are you? Why did you send someone to seize my sister?”

“I didn’t! I didn’t try to seize her! I really—ah!”

Before Wen Dai’er could finish, Jin Lin slapped her hard across the face. “I’m giving you a chance to speak. You’d better tell the truth. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you understand what happens when you offend me, Jin Lin!”

“Waaah…” Wen Dai’er covered her face and cried hysterically, but still refused to speak.

Annoyed, Jin Lin shifted his gaze to Cui Liu. “What about you? Not talking either?”

“I… I…”

“Take the two of them to the brothel!”

Cui Liu was stammering, and Jin Lin had completely lost his patience.

At those words, both women turned pale.

“Don’t! I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” Wen Dai’er trembled as she stuttered, “That girl… she offended me, so I just found someone to teach her a lesson. I didn’t mean to harm her, really! Sir, please let me go!”

Ling Yue, who had remained silent until now, frowned. “I don’t even know you. How did I offend you?”

Wen Dai’er bit her lip hard.

She knew that excuse wouldn’t hold up.

But she simply couldn’t say the real reason.

If word got out that she had framed a maid out of jealousy toward Tang Wan, she would truly have no face left to show.

Racking her brains, Wen Dai’er finally came up with a clumsy excuse.

“You… you… last time on the street, you bumped into me. Yes—that’s it!”
