Chapter 1073 Lin Family's Visit
DONG! DONG! DONG!
"Tian Family! Get your ass out here! The Lin Family is here to demand for answers!"
Yuan and the others heard the front door being banged on and a loud voice resound the following moment.
"Looks like the Lin Family decided to show up personally, and they even moved faster than I anticipated." Yuan smiled.
"What should we do?" Tian Yanyu asked.
"Since you caused this mess, you're going to deal with it." Tian Xianzu said in a cold voice, pushing all responsibility to them even though he's the family head.
Tian Yanyu turned to look at Yuan, who spoke in a calm voice, "Let's meet them and see what they have to say. If they do anything inappropriate, I will deal with them accordingly."
"Alright." Tian Yanyu nodded.
The two of them went to greet the visitors shortly after, and then they brought the Lin Family to one of the guest rooms.
"Tian Yanyu! You bitch! Do you have any idea how much trouble you have caused for my family with your little act at the Passion Palace today?! How dare you spread such nasty rumors! You will compensate us for the damage!" Lin Minghai began shouting even before they sat down.
Tian Yanyu remained calm and spoke in a sneering voice, "The Stone Bandits claimed that your Lin Family hired them to mess with my family. I had nothing to do with it. If you want to blame someone, blame the bandits— or even better, blame yourselves for messing with my family!"
Lin Minghai slammed on the table and roared, "Our Lin Family had nothing to do with those filthy bandits! How dare you slander us?!"
"Slander? Those hooligans started messing with my family's business the day I rejected your advances, and don't even think about giving the excuse that it's all just a coincidence. Even an idiot wouldn't believe such an excuse!" Tian Yanyu bit back at them.
"Watch your attitude, Lady Tian! You are speaking to the Young Master of the Lin Family!" Steward Jin suddenly spoke in a cold tone.
"If you weren't the Young Master's darling, I would have already cut out your tongue!"
"Watch your mouth. I am not his darling." Tian Yanyu narrowed her eyes at Steward Jin, her gaze oozing with killing intent.
"I may be a servant, but do you dare to kill a member of the Lin Family in your estate? Can you handle the consequences?" Steward Jin snorted arrogantly.
Even though he called himself a servant, his status within the Lin Family wasn't low, and he has been a trusted member for many decades now, his loyalty for the Lin Family unquestionable.
"Why don't we all calm down so that we can have a proper conversation?" Yuan finally spoke his first sentence since the Lin Family's visit.
The frown on Lin Minghai's face immediately burrowed even further, and he turned to look at Yuan, "And who the fuck are you?"
Yuan smiled and introduced himself in a respectful voice, "My name is Xiao Yang, and I am currently assisting the Tian Family. My ancestors owed their ancestors a debt, and I am here to return that debt. I was told that their family business was being harassed by hooligans, so I decided to do something about it, unaware that they were connected to the reputable Lin Family. If you want to blame someone for the recent commotion, you may place the blame on me."
"You're also slandering my Lin Family?!" Lin Minghai fumed with anger after hearing Yuan's words that subtly accused the Lin Family of working with the Stone Bandits.
"What? I am simply stating what the bandits told us and the guards that took them away. If you claim that the Lin Family doesn't have anything to do with those bandits, I naturally want to believe the reputable Lin Family over the bandits. However, your inappropriate behavior isn't helping me."
Lin Minghai gritted his teeth in frustration, but he couldn't argue back, as that would only make him and his family look worse.
"Xiao Yang, right? I will remember your name. Now I have a question for you. What is your relationship with her?" Lin Minghai pointed at Tian Yanyu while he spoke.
"My relationship with Miss Yanyu? We're just—"
It was at this moment that Tian Yanyu suddenly interrupted, "We're just ordinary lovers. What about it?"
Yuan's eyes widened after hearing Tian Yanyu's words.
Lin Minghai had a look of disbelief on his face, looking as though he'd just witnessed a ghost for the first time.
"Y-Y-You're lying!" Lin Minghai didn't dare to believe it.
"Oh? You don't believe me? Then let me prove it to you." Tian Yanyu suddenly turned to look at Yuan's handsome face and moved her head towards his, giving him a passionate kiss on the lips the following moment.
Lin Minghai could feel his heart bursting into a million pieces when he witnessed this, and the shock he'd received was so big that his eyes rolled backwards until it was almost completely white.
"Y-Young Master! Get a hold of yourself!" Steward Jin cried out loud as he went to catch Lin Minghai's falling body.
After removing her lips from Yuan's, Tian Yanyu spoke with a slightly rosy face, "Why are you so surprised? We're lovers, so it's only natural for us to do things like this. In fact, we have done even more intensive stuff before."
Lin Minghai felt his soul leaving his body after hearing what Tian Yanyu had just said.
"Y-You will regret this, you damn whore! We're going back!" Steward Jin decided to return to the Lin Family for now because their Young Master had become incapacitated from mental damage, and he was worried that if they stayed any longer, Lin Minghai might die of heartbreak.
After carrying their Young Master away, the Lin Family rushed back to their own home.
Yuan turned to look at Tian Yanyu with a bittersweet smile, but he didn't say anything, as he wanted her to tell him what that was about just now.
