Chapter 201: 201 Everyone shouts at the sight of a rat (Second watch)

She uttered a gentle huff, her voice carrying a trace of cold harshness, "Bastard?"

"A child of ill-fate, if not a bastard, then what? If it were me, I would’ve found a place to get rid of the child long ago, to avoid giving birth to something that would bring shame upon oneself, merely surviving in this world." Lin Yue knew that she had been wronged this time, and she was determined to regain her dignity.

Her parents had told her to stay at home and not cause trouble, but she insisted on coming out.

From now on, she and Su Xiaofeng would be sworn enemies, she was determined to make everyone know that Su Xiaofeng was unwanted goods.

With a "pop," the pebble in Xiaofeng’s hand flew straight towards Lin Yue’s lips, her throw was fierce, accurate, and fast, not giving the other any face.

Lin Yue’s lips were split, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Yue wiped the blood from her lip, but she was not afraid. Did they think that by hitting her, they could shut her up?

Su Xiaofeng didn’t want her to speak, yet she was determined to speak.

She wanted to see what Su Xiaofeng would do in front of everyone, blood spreading around her lips. Pointing at Su Xiaofeng with her bloody finger, she said, "Su Xiaofeng, are you furious with embarrassment? You don’t want me to speak, but I insist on speaking. I want to see what you can do to me."

Lack of propriety is simply lack of propriety.

Su Xiaofeng looked at her with cold eyes.

It was originally thought that after the previous incident, Lin Yue would learn to restrain herself, but it seems her previous lesson was not severe enough, after all, it had not dragged Lin Jianguo down with her.

"Lin Yue," Su Xiaofeng’s voice was cool, "even if you spill the beans, what good will that do? Despite my unfortunate circumstances, I do not intend to submit to fate. At least I won’t complain about my own discontent by blaming heaven, earth, father, or mother, nor would I do something as vile as poisoning."

Yes, the original person did experience misfortune, but who decreed that just because someone encounters misfortune, they must hide and live a life ashamed of the daylight?

"I didn’t poison anyone," Lin Yue’s eyes were sharp as knives, insisting she just wanted to show Su Xiaofeng her true colors, "I had no intention of poisoning, nor did I want to harm anyone."

Some people nearby had heard about the near mishap at the Lihua Factory, "I heard from my man that a girl poisoned a factory, turns out it’s the girl right here, tsk tsk, she looks like a nice girl, but why is her heart so vicious?" To poison someone, what a dark mindset must one have.

"I heard about it too. They even reprimanded her father, saying he failed to discipline his child properly. Now looking at this, her upbringing is indeed not that great. Others have suffered enough misfortune, and yet she persists in pointing fingers. Isn’t that just being uneducated?"

There were local residents and nearby workers among them.

They had already heard about Su Xiaofeng from the Lihua Factory, known to be a very good employer who treated her workers well. Such an employer, burdened by such misfortune, it struck a chord of sympathy in other women.

"It’s precisely a lack of upbringing. If it were me, I would not just slap her lips, but I would drag her parents out and ask how they raised such a daughter. Is it even decent to bring up such matters? Who would want to be unmarried and pregnant if not for unfortunate circumstances?"

"Looking at the girl, she’s not even eighteen, how could she understand such matters? She bluntly accuses others of being shameless, but does such a grown girl even know how to use words like ’propriety’?"

Lin Yue, hearing the chaotic noise around her, was so angry she felt blood caught in her throat. Was she wrong to bring this up?

Su Xiaofeng got pregnant before marriage, isn’t that being shameless?

Of course, the sympathy for Su Xiaofeng from everyone at this time was not entirely out of compassion. After all, her factory was doing well and would surely need to recruit in the future, and they might end up working for her factory. Thus, at this juncture, it’s best not to offend if possible.

What if one day, you need a job at her factory, and you’re singled out for speaking ill of her? No one would hire you, right?

Lin Peng saw that her words gained no support, not only did these people not echo her sentiments, but they also said she had no upbringing and lacked sympathy for the weaker.

"Lin Yue, if you want to cause trouble, I’m ready to oblige. I’ve heard you’re quite famous in the county now. If you don’t mind being even more famous, I’d be happy to have a ’heart-to-heart’ with you. Do you want to hear it? If you’re interested, I can tell you the details of that day, as well as how I got pregnant," Su Xiaofeng said.

Thinking she could do as she pleased simply because she was young and without concerns.

Lin Yue glared at her, not wanting to listen. She didn’t want to listen; it would sully her ears.

"What’s wrong? Not talking now? You were just so righteous, talking about bringing shame. I want to ask you, where have I brought shame upon myself? I built my factory with my own abilities and saw through your poisoning scheme with my own abilities," Su Xiaofeng’s eyes burned into Lin Yue, tinged with mockery.

Previously, she thought that although Lin Yue might not be the smartest, she certainly wasn’t that foolish.

Now it seemed that Luo Yuzhu truly spoiled her daughter, or rather, the Lin Family spoiled Lin Yue rotten, with impulse-driven behavior and no brains.

Compared with Lin Jing’s subtlety, it was like heaven and earth.

Lin Yue was choked up.

Meeting the other’s gaze, she suddenly forgot why she came there today.

Yes, it was my sister. She said that as long as we overexaggerate the story of Su Xiaofeng’s unwed pregnancy to everyone, everyone would look at Su Xiaofeng the same way they look at a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to beat it.

She had disclosed the matter, and the outcome seemed somewhat different.

But that is not the most important thing. The point is, Su Xiaofeng seems to be quite formidable; any random pebble could hit her right in the mouth.

Su Xiaofeng looked at her, then glanced at the time, thinking to herself that the person who should be coming would probably be arriving soon.

"A car is coming." Someone saw a car approaching in the distance and instinctively cleared a path.

Watching the approaching car, the corners of Su Xiaofeng’s lips curled up. Those who were meant to come would still arrive.

Upon seeing the approaching car, Lin Yue’s body went limp.

Was this Dad’s car? Was it Dad who had come?

Lin Jianguo stepped out of the driver’s seat and greeted the crowd with clasped fists, a face of affability.

Luo Yuzhu’s face also wore a forced smile. When she saw the injury on Lin Yue’s lips, she felt a pang of distress and hurried over, "Yueyue, what happened to your lips? Tell Mom, who hit you?"

Lin Jianguo merely glanced at it briefly, not taking it to heart.

"Mr. Lin, you finally arrived. If you hadn’t, your daughter would have become infamous throughout the county again," said Su Xiaofeng in a tone laced with faint sarcasm as she watched Lin Jianguo approach.

Lin Jianguo took a look at Lin Yue’s lips, "Xiaofeng, no matter what, Yueyue is after all your younger sister. Whatever she said, why bother to hold it against her?"

"So, in Mr. Lin’s eyes, Lin Yue’s previous incident can be resolved with just a ’no need to hold a grudge.’ Mr. Lin is quite magnanimous. I wonder what your workplace would think if they knew about this, would they speculate that since Lin Yue is still underage, could it be the adults behind her who contributed to her previous and today’s actions?"

A child’s mistakes can be forgiven, but what about the adults?

Lin Jianguo hated it most when others brought up his job.

It was the same with Lin Yue; she was told to stay at home and behave recently, not to provoke Su Xiaofeng, yet she sneakily went out.

"If Lin Yue has done something wrong, we as adults certainly bear responsibility. Let’s bring Yueyue back and educate her properly." Su Xiaofeng was like a cat with spikes, not to be provoked.

"Mr. Lin, Lin Yue publicly damaged my reputation, making issues out of my misfortunes. For this matter, don’t you owe me an explanation?" Lin Yue might be naive, but Lin Jianguo couldn’t afford to be, right?

Upon hearing Su Xiaofeng’s words, Luo Yuzhu realized something. Su Xiaofeng was trying to demand an exorbitant amount. She...

Lin Jianguo hadn’t expected Su Xiaofeng to be so shameless. She had encountered misfortune and could have just hidden away, yet she dared to seek compensation from him.

Reputation?

What reputation did Su Xiaofeng have, and could it be worth as much as his, Lin Jianguo’s?

His reputation had recently hit rock bottom; to whom should he turn for compensation?

Liao Xianghe, standing by, felt as if he had struck it big, his mind becoming sharp, "Mr. Lin, our Ms. Su is after all a young lady, and reputation is most important when one is away from home. The scene you caused today looks really ugly, and if Ms. Su decides not to think straight and looks for a short escape, your daughter will inevitably be implicated."

With her face flushed, Lin Yue thought, even if Su Xiaofeng died right now, how would it have anything to do with her? She was so shameless.

Lin Jianguo smiled, "Today Yueyue has been silly. Don’t worry, I’ll have someone send some supplements over in a bit, as an apology to Xiaofeng."

Lin Jianguo had never encountered someone as shameless as Su Xiaofeng in his life; she was simply beyond reason.

"Forget about the supplements; I’m afraid Lin Yue might poison me again. Xianghe, you should go with Mr. Lin to get the money. However much you bring is up to Mr. Lin’s generosity, but I would hope Mr. Lin isn’t stingy." Her eyes glanced over at Liao giving them a hand.

Liao’s heart skipped a beat.

She couldn’t possibly still be expecting money from him.

He blurted out instantly, "She was the one who paid us to cause trouble. If you want compensation, ask her."

Liao sold out Lin Yue bluntly.

It wasn’t that he lacked loyalty; even the one who placed the order was now footing the bill and couldn’t argue, so why should he cling to any sense of righteousness?

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianguo felt a surge of fresh blood boiling in his throat, waves tumultuous.
