Mr. Zhou pulled at Xi Cheng’s arm and replied, “Young Master, there’s no time to stand around and chat! Hurry home and see for yourself. Miss Lin is also injured and still has to calm Madam down. Madam’s in bad condition!”

Hearing that, Xi Cheng left in a hurry. Yun Nan watched him go with a look of contempt on her tear-covered face.

Lin Yu ignored her foot injury and kneeled beside Han Yuan’s feet. “Auntie, I’m sorry. My cousin just wanted to borrow my car for something. She didn’t mean to hit someone. It’s all my fault; I’ve caused trouble for our family…”

Tears dripped down Lin Yu’s cheeks as she spoke, and by the end, she broke down into sobs. Lin Zhu had been shocked and afraid, but when she heard Lin

Yu’s words, she immediately pounced over and gave Lin Yu a hard slap, yelling, “You b*tch! You’re trying to frame this on me?”

“Ah!” Lin Yu cried out and covered her face.

“How could you?” Han Yuan yelled, enraged. She furiously hollered, “Someone come and get this woman out of my sight!”

A couple of the household staff came to drag Lin Zhu away, saying, “Miss Lin,

“Auntie Han, don’t be deceived by that b*tch, Lin Yu!” Lin Zhu shouted as she struggled against the staff. “She’s vicious; be careful she doesn’t scheme against your entire family! She doesn’t even care about her own family, so how sincere can she be to yours? Wake up and open your eyes! She used me! She used me and is pretending to be a good person!”

The staff wanted to throw Lin Zhu out when Han Yuan suddenly called out, “Wait!”

The household staff and Lin Zhu stopped. Han Yuan stood up from the sofa and looked at Lin Zhu loftily as she instructed, “Take Ms. Lin to the police station and have her turn herself in. She’d hit someone with a car, after all. This incident happened in our family’s courtyard, so whether that woman survives or not, we can’t cover up for Ms. Lin, lest that little b*tch try to blackmail us! Whoever caused this mess should take responsibility for it! It has nothing to do with the Xi family!”

Lin Zhu was dumbfounded. With a trembling voice, she begged, “Auntie Han! Auntie Han, you can’t throw me to the wolves like this! I’m also a member of the Lin family! Auntie Han, I don’t want to go to the police station. I don’t want to go! Please, don’t make me go there! I’ll pay compensation! I’ll pay, okay? Lin Yu! Lin Yu! Sis! Sis! Save me! Save me!”

Lin Yu didn’t say a single word for Lin Zhu. She remained kneeling on the floor and collapsed onto the sofa, crying. Lin Zhu’s curses gradually faded into the distance, and Han Yuan reached out to pull Lin Yu up. “Dear child, get up. I know you’re aggrieved.”

Lin Yu kneeled before Han Yuan and put her arms around her waist as she cried uncontrollably. A maid rushed in and panickedly informed them, “Madam!

Young Master… The young master left! He took his car and drove off!”

Han Yuan nearly choked on her anger. “Didn’t I tell you all to keep an eye on him? Mr. Zhou, hurry up and get him back! If he won’t listen, tell him I’m dead!”

Mr. Zhou, the butler, didn’t dare to argue and quickly left to chase after Xi Cheng. Han Yuan patted Lin Yu’s head and said coldly, “Alright; no more crying now. ”

She pulled Lin Yu up, and Lin Yu sat on the sofa, looking pitiful. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her makeup had long been ruined. She lowered her head and wept, her tears falling in large drops.

Amidst her tears, Lin Yu said, “My aunt came here with Lin Zhu to see me; she wanted me to bring Lin Zhu in and see if she could win the interest of the madams or wealthy young men here. She said that should Lin Zhu be able to get together with someone of influence here, she could help me in the future. I rejected her; our Lin family is in dire straits, and I’m not very capable, but I

can’t let my little cousin become a tool.”

“Xi Cheng and I are childhood friends, and I’ve liked him since I was young, so our engagement isn’t me selling myself to the Xi family for my family. My aunt treated the relationship between the Lin and Xi families too lightly. My aunt and cousin were unhappy that I’d rejected them, and my aunt asked for 50,000 dollars, saying it was the money she spent on your gift.”

Lin Yu continued, “My little cousin asked for my car. She said she wanted to look good when she’s out looking for a job. There were many guests here today, and I was afraid they would cause trouble, so I quickly gave them what they wanted and got them to leave. But in the end, that incident happened… I don’t think Lin Zhu ran her over on purpose. She doesn’t even know Miss Fang—”

When Han Yuan heard that Lin Yu’s relatives were blackmailing her, her face was full of heartache, but when she heard Fang Xi’s name, her expression immediately darkened. “Don’t mention that woman to me!” Han Yuan snapped, cutting Lin Yu off. Lin Yu quickly shut her mouth. She carefully glanced at her future mother-in-law and didn’t dare to say anything else.

“That woman must have done it on purpose! She’s such a schemer; she unexpectedly didn’t take our family’s money. And now look! Xi Cheng’s heart is once again seduced by her! He probably thinks she’s an amazing woman who’s unmoved by money. Pfft! If she’s not here for money, I’d give my son to her!”

Lin Yu’s fingers subconsciously curled into a fist, nails digging into her palms..
