Chapter 598: Chapter 597 Are you fucking kidding me?

Xu Haimin’s expression changed at the mention of the name; just hearing it, he thought of Lin Xia, "Lin Chun? What relation is he to Lin Xia?"

Ji Man actually felt a bit guilty inside, she knew she shouldn’t have dragged the innocent Lin Chun into this.

But when she thought if it hadn’t been for Lin Xia, how would she have ever met this beast?

And after what Lin Chun just said, her sense of guilt decreased significantly, "He’s Lin Xia’s elder brother!"

Xu Haimin, upon seeing her readily admit it, believed her even more.

If Ji Man had mentioned another name, he would have doubted it, even considering asking around for more information.

But Lin Chun was Lin Xia’s elder brother and Lin Xia was Ji Man’s friend, so the possibility of them dating was very high.

However, Xu Haimin wasn’t so easily fooled.

Thinking back on Ji Man’s words, he couldn’t help but spit violently onto the ground and cursed, "Ji Man! You’re kidding me, right? Put me in my place like crushing an ant! You really talk big!"

That Lin Xia, a mere businessman, what power does their family have? What could Lin Chun do to me?"

He then looked at Ji Man with a lecherous smile as if he saw right through all her pretenses.

At this point, Ji Man realized that no matter what, she had to keep up her story.

Otherwise, Xu Haimin, this shameless scoundrel, would endlessly harass her again.

She bit her tongue trying to calm herself down before speaking, "What do you know? Lin Xia’s grandfather is a high-ranking official!

Now their situation is not what it used to be! If you dare to mess with me, just wait and see how they deal with you! For them, dealing with you will be like child’s play!"

After saying all that, she suddenly regretted impulsively doing something foolish.

If she continued to be on good terms with Lin Xia, it wasn’t impossible for Lin Chun to become her boyfriend.

If Lin Chun really was her boyfriend, with Lin Xia and her grandfather’s connections, dealing with a rogue like Xu Haimin would definitely be an easy task.

It was a pity that it was already too late for any of that.

She had just said those things in front of Lin Chun, eliminating any possibility of that happening.

Xu Haimin, seeing her speak with such certainty, almost believed it was true and was somewhat skeptical.

But faced with the beautiful Ji Man, he couldn’t simply let go just because he heard these things.

His eyes widened as he glared at her, scoffing coldly, "Ji Man! Even if what you’re saying is true, so what? All I need to do is tell your boyfriend about the good times we’ve had together, do you think he’d still want you?"

He just couldn’t believe that any man could tolerate his wife not being pure and pristine.

But he was only trying to scare Ji Man.

He didn’t have the guts to actually go out and say such things to anyone; that would be like asking for a beating.

Ji Man hated Xu Haimin to the point of grinding her teeth! Wishing she could devour him!

How could he be so despicable and shameless!

If, by any chance, a man really dated her and he went to tell them those things, would they still want her?

Ji Man’s eyes became fierce, "Go ahead and tell them! If you want to tell, then tell! After all, Lin Xia knows about that incident!

Why do you think she doesn’t object to me being with her elder brother? Isn’t it because when I went there to help out, I encountered you, a despicable and shameless villain?

Worst comes to worst, we both go down together. Anyway, Lin Xia’s family doesn’t care about that past!"

Seeing his complexion change, Ji Man began to threaten him too, "Then you might just end up in prison! Their family has connections, whether you can come out alive remains a question..."

Xu Haimin’s face turned dark and his eyes darted around, "Ji Man! Don’t bluff! I don’t believe you can go through with it!"

For a girl, her reputation is most important!

If Ji Man really did that, then she truly would ruin her good name!

However, she said that Lin Xia didn’t oppose their relationship because she felt guilty, which seemed to make sense as a justification.

It was indeed at Lin Xia’s stall that he met Ji Man.

"What do I have to lose! Someone wants me now! If worse comes to worst, we’ll just go live with Lin Chun’s grandpa! Who knows what I was like before?"

Ji Man spoke with conviction, but her dangling hands were tightly clenching her palms, not allowing her momentum to weaken.

Xu Haimin immediately panicked, furious, and stepped forward to grab Ji Man’s arm, "You shameless woman! You actually went with..."

Ji Man, frightened and pale, kept retreating. The events of that rainy day flashed through her mind, and the Xu Haimin in front of her overlapped with his menacing figure from that day.

The voice she let out was no longer pleasant, "Ah! Help!"

Several passersby witnessed the scene and rushed over, "What are you doing?"

There was even a young lad, seemingly ready to intervene and help.

"He’s trying to molest me!" Ji Man, hugging her arms and trembling slightly, accused Xu Haimin.

Xu Haimin, infuriated, retorted, "Comrade! We know each other!"

"So what if you know each other? You can’t just molest someone in the street?"

"The police station is nearby, you’re quite bold!"

Xu Haimin knew he couldn’t stay any longer; after all, he was afraid of being arrested.

He left with a threat, "Fine! Ji Man! You wait for me! This isn’t over between us!" Then he quickly limped away.

The passersby asked with concern, "Miss! Are you alright?"

"He’s gone! Don’t be scared!"

Ji Man felt her back soaked with cold sweat, "I’m fine! Thank you all so much!"

After seeing she was okay, the passersby said "You’re welcome" and left.

The young man didn’t leave. Seeing how beautiful the girl before him was, he kindly asked, "Do you need help filing a report?"

"Ah! No, thank you! No need!" Ji Man was in no position to go at that moment.

The young man kindly escorted Ji Man to the bus stop and watched as she boarded the bus before he left with peace of mind.

Ji Man found a seat towards the back and only then did she dare to cover her face and cry softly. How could her life be so hard, and what was she to do in the future...

After getting off work, Lin Chun returned home and told Lin Xia about Ji Man coming to his workplace.

"After she inquired about her friend’s case, she insisted on speaking with me alone. Then she mentioned that Song Zhiya had been saying things behind my back about Jiang Mingyuan liking you!

I wondered why Song Zhiya’s relationship with us wasn’t as good as before..."

After listening, Lin Xia felt that it was something she had expected.

If Ji Man could talk behind Lu Qing’s back like that, what wouldn’t she say about Song Zhiya?

However, Lin Xia felt something was fishy.

"Big brother! Why did she suddenly bring these things up with you?"

Lin Chun was slightly startled, "Yeah! I found it strange too! At first, I didn’t want to go out and talk with her, but she insisted that it was about something very private concerning you, so I ended up speaking with her just outside our office entrance for a few minutes."

Now that he thought about it, he too sensed something off.

"Big brother! If she looks for you again, don’t pay her any attention. I think she has ulterior motives!" Lin Xia couldn’t guess what Ji Man was plotting, but she instinctively felt it was definitely not something good.

"Alright! The next time she comes to ask about the case or anything, I’ll have my colleague deal with her!" Lin Chun advised her at last, "...Xiaoxia! Someone as devious as her doesn’t deserve to be your friend!"

"I know that! Big brother! Since she’s said such things to you, she probably won’t come looking for me!"

At that moment, neither Lin Chun nor Lin Xia could predict the incredible upheaval Ji Man would bring to their lives...
