Chapter 42: Ridiculous
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A few bolts of lightning streaked across the cloudy sky. The thunder was like drumsticks hitting the surface of a drum, making one’s eardrums numb.
Soon, the heavy rain came, and the heavy curtain of rain almost blocked people’s vision.
A man suddenly dashed into the rain, his steps unsteady, his body swaying. As he ran forward, blood from his left arm dripped down, quickly washed away by the rain.
Liu Lin rushed out of the old house, her clothes not fully worn, the snow-white dress clinging to her, making her look disheveled. Watching Min Nan’s retreating figure, Liu Lin grew frustrated and exasperated, unable to fathom how things had gone awry today.
Just two minutes ago, Min Nan had deliberately leaned his body to the side. On the other side of the bed lay an old pair of scissors. In an instant, the scissors pierced through Min Nan’s arm, blood splattering out. The gory scene left Liu Lin in shock.
Did Min Nan want to end his life? Did he despise her so much that he would rather hurt himself than be with her? Something seemed to have collapsed inside Liu Lin, shattering her already broken heart.
By the time she reacted, Min Nan had already fled. As Liu Lin hastily donned her clothes and caught up, Min Nan’s figure was almost out of sight.
Liu Lin sat on the ground with a pale face. The mud that had been soaked by the rain splashed on the edge of Liu Lin’s dress. The dirty mud seemed to be mocking her ridiculousness.
In the production team’s dormitory, Ye Ling stared at the heavy rain outside, feeling a sense of unease.
Today, she hadn’t followed Wang Gang’s request to report to the forest farm. She wasn’t sure if Wang Gang would come looking for her.
Although Li Bin was willing to help her, Wang Gang held a much higher position than Li Bin. If they clashed because of her, she wasn’t sure if Li Bin could win.
Her worries quickly turned into reality.
Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs. The sound of quarrels and the storm intertwined, like gunpowder that would ignite at the slightest touch. The quiet dormitory building was instantly enveloped in a tense atmosphere.
Ye Ling didn’t dare to show her face, so she could only walk to the stairs on the second floor. She heard Li Bin’s furious voice. “What are you doing? This is the production team’s dormitory. Do you want to snatch someone away right in front of me?”
Then, Wang Gang’s cold voice with a hint of mockery sounded. “I thought Ye Ling was getting close to someone from the production team. So, it’s you. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me? When your grandfather was wandering all over the place, you were still in your mother’s arms!”
The quarreling and insults escalated, and soon, a physical confrontation began.
Ye Ling’s heart sank when she heard Li Bin’s painful screams from the second floor.
No, this couldn’t go on. Something bad would happen!
Li Bin had gotten into a conflict with Wang Gang because of her. She couldn’t let anything happen to him.
“Stop!”
Ye Ling rushed down from the second floor, pulling apart the brawling men. She then assisted Li Bin and quickly checked his injuries. Seeing that Li Bin wasn’t severely hurt, she turned to Wang Gang, her anger blazing. “How could you resort to violence?”
When Ye Ling was angry, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes widened. In Wang Gang’s eyes, this expression was even more captivating than Ye Ling’s smile.
He gazed fixedly at Ye Ling, his smile turning radiant. “1 didn’t strike first. Tell me, who initiated the conflict?”
The few men in forest farm uniforms who had come with Wang Gang immediately chimed in, “It was this kid who attacked first!”
“Sister-in-law, you can’t wrong Brother Wang.”
“Sister-in-law, when Brother Wang saw that you hadn’t come to the forest farm, he thought something had happened to you. Look at how concerned he is. I’ve never seen him care so much about a woman.”
“That’s right. Sister-in-law, are you touched? If you are, then marry him!”
These people’s shameless teasing almost angered Ye Ling to death. She bit her lip and looked angrily at the group of people surrounding her and Li Bin.
Wang Gang approached Ye Ling, forcing a smile he thought appeared gentle. “Lingling, come with me. What happiness can you find following a poor guy like Li Bin? Honestly, I could break this men’s legs today, and he wouldn’t be able to have any resistance. Be a good girl, go upstairs, and pack your things. I’ll wait for you here. I’ve already arranged your room. After you come to the forest farm, you won’t have to do anything. Whatever you want, I’ll provide….”
