From what I know, your parents and your brother have had quite a few conflicts because of Lin Yixun. Although my actions a few days ago were indeed somewhat extreme, the results are desirable. Lin Yixun is back by my side, and your brother has returned to your parents. It’s better that I sever their relationship than for you to do it yourselves, right? After all, to your brother, I’m just an outsider. Whether he hates me or not makes little difference to me, but it’s different for you all—you are his family." Ouyang Che gave Leng Yixiu a deep look and suddenly smiled, "President Leng makes a bit of sense." Since Ouyang Che had softened his stance, Leng Yixiu also stepped back, "In this matter, I was somewhat inconsiderate, and I apologize to you, Mr. Ouyang." "No need to apologize, President Leng, as long as you keep that woman by your side under control, I will be grateful." "I will naturally manage my woman well." After Ouyang Che left, Leng Yixiu’s tense expression did not relax. He wouldn’t think that just a few words could completely resolve the resentment of the Ouyang family. After all, Ouyang Hao was the treasured son carefully doted on by the elder of the Ouyang family. Moreover, the Ouyang family was a prominent name in the Imperial City. Their son’s injury would certainly not sit well with their pride. After the incident, Ouyang Che withdrew the lawsuit and did not pursue the matter further, but the grudge had been formed. Offending a political figure is undoubtedly disadvantageous for a businessman. In the past, Leng Yixiu would have weighed the pros and cons and probably would not have taken such extreme measures against Ouyang Hao, but when it comes to Lin Yixun, his reason and self-control always seem to come second. After handling the matter, Leng Yixiu canceled an appointment and went directly back to the Half Mountain Villa. As soon as he stepped inside the villa, he heard a series of crashes from upstairs. The man darted upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door, only to see a scene of complete chaos. The bedroom floor was strewn with scattered and broken objects. Everything that could be smashed was destroyed, including the antique vase by the bedroom door. The man’s face darkened, but he didn’t lose his temper. He avoided the debris on the floor and walked towards the bathroom, where even the glass had been shattered to pieces. Leng Yixiu pressed his lips together tightly, staring silently at the breathless Lin Yixun. After a long pause, his voice finally echoed in the bathroom. But Lin Yixun responded with a furious gaze. Without a word, she threw herself at Leng Yixiu, sinking her teeth deep into his shoulder. She bit down with all her strength, her teeth nearly breaking the skin on his shoulder. She expected him to explode in anger, but the man did nothing, letting her bite him, and merely glanced at her lightly. "Does that make you feel better?" Feel better? Lin Yixun asked herself. In that moment when she was smashing things and biting Leng Yixiu, she did feel a sense of release, but seeing his indifferent reaction, she felt utterly disappointed. She slowly let go of Leng Yixiu, stepped back, her shoulders drooping with tiredness. "I’ve come back. Now can you tell me where my mother is?" "She is still recuperating at Shengde Hospital." Lin Yixun’s eyes widened in shock, quickly followed by boundless anger. So all this time, her mother had only been moved to another room in Shengde, and she had been played like a fool by the man in front of her. "If you want your mother to be moved even farther away, that can be arranged too." "You!!!" Lin Yixun clenched her fists, unable to argue. She stormed out of the bathroom, not wanting to stay there a moment longer, but in her haste, she stepped on a piece of ceramic shard at the bedroom door. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⸺fire.net Lin Yixun’s scream of pain quickly caught the man’s attention. Seeing her foot being cut by glass fragments with her blood staining the floor, the man’s brows furrowed. He swiftly stepped forward and scooped Lin Yixun into his arms, carrying her downstairs. Sister Yi saw the man carrying Lin Yixun down and rushed over, "Sir, what happened to Miss Lin?" "Her foot is injured. Go get the medical kit." Sister Yi glanced at Lin Yixun’s bleeding and torn foot, nodded hurriedly, "Alright, alright, I’ll get it right away." Lin Yixun was placed on the sofa. When she saw the man trying to bandage her injury, she abruptly pushed him away, "I don’t need your help!" Leng Yixiu had never been treated . His face darkened several degrees, but he held back from bursting out. He handed the medical kit to Sister Yi and turned to go upstairs to the study. Sister Yi carefully tended to Lin Yixun’s wound while observing her expression. Seeing Lin Yixun’s cold face, she hesitated but couldn’t hold back from speaking. "Miss Lin, I don’t know if I should say this?" "Whatever it is, just say it." "Actually, sir treats you quite well. He’s even more considerate to you than Miss Cheng." Mentioning Cheng Ying made Lin Yixun’s face turn darker. Realizing she had said something wrong, Sister Yi quickly added, "Look at me, always saying the wrong thing. Please don’t take it to heart. I just wanted to say that sir really cares about you." "He cares about me?" Lin Yixun sneered. "Miss Lin, you probably don’t know, the night you didn’t come back, sir was extremely worried. He stayed up the entire night." "That’s because he hasn’t finished tormenting me!" "It’s not like that, Miss Lin. You must have misunderstood him. Sir actually..." Lin Yixun impatiently interrupted her, "Sister Yi, can you please stop talking about him?" Seeing Lin Yixun’s stern face, Sister Yi said nothing more. After all, this was between her and sir, and she, as a servant, couldn’t interfere. After bandaging Lin Yixun’s wound, Sister Yi helped her upstairs, only to see the man coming down the stairs, approaching the two of them. "Sister Yi, I’ll take over." "Alright, sir." Sister Yi wisely let go of Lin Yixun’s hand and stepped aside. Seeing the man’s hand reach out to her, Lin Yixun instinctively avoided him, saying coldly, "I don’t need your help!" But her resistance had no impact on the man. He tightly grabbed her arm, "Don’t be so stubborn!" Lin Yixun fumed, about to retort, when suddenly her body was lifted, and she was carried in his arms. "Leng Yixiu, put me down!" The man squinted his eyes threateningly, "Do you want me to throw you down from here?"
