"You!" Zu Can was getting angry.
He knew who Chen Yuanyuan was. She had always been at odds with his sister, Zu Yingying. She was the only daughter of Chen Medicine Hall's owner, Chen Wenlin. She had been spoiled since she was a child and was willful.
Although Chen Medicine Hall couldn't compare to Maple City's major families like the Zu, Gao, and Shi families, they weren't too far off.
In terms of industry, Chen Medicine Hall was definitely the biggest and wealthiest. The only thing they lacked was a solid foundation.
After all, the Chen family's ancestors were poor too. It was Chen Wenlin's ability that allowed them to support their family business.
There were many people around and as a man, Zu Can couldn't be bothered to argue with a woman like Chen Yuanyuan in public. He flung his sleeve and said, "I can't be bothered to argue with a rude person like you."
Having said that, Zu Can asked Lin Jin softly, "Brother Lin, do you have a grudge against her?"
Lin Jin thought about it and shook his head. Back then, it was Chen Wenlin who arranged the marriage between his predecessor and her. The Chen family was the one who wanted to call off the engagement. If there was a grudge, it was his predecessor who hated them.
"Then how do you know her, Brother Lin?" Zu Can was puzzled.
Well, it was hard for him to explain.
Strictly speaking, this had nothing to do with him.
"Let's go!" Lin Jin thought there was something wrong with this woman's head. She was either crazy or crazy. Speaking of which, trying to reason with a lunatic was asking for trouble.
He just had to stay away from her.
However, Chen Yuanyuan had no intention of letting it go.
"Lin Jin, hold it right there. Tell me, what did your pet beast do to my General Might Wu? Ever since then, my General Might has been listless. Even the slightest movement would scare him and he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well. You must have done something to him. Do you think you can just keep quiet? If you don't explain yourself today, don't even think about leaving. "
Lin Jin really hadn't done anything last time. Recalling the incident, Lin Jin knew that Xiao Huo must have used some of his Rank 3 beast king aura to scare that seemingly strong but actually weak maned mane.
But that was also because this woman was instructing her pet beast to hurt someone.
Was he supposed to stand still and get bitten by the mane?
The other party had been provoking him time and time again and Lin Jin wasn't a pushover.
It was true that she was a woman, but a woman could not be unreasonable endlessly.
Lin Jin didn't want to provoke this crazy woman, but that didn't mean he was afraid of her.
"Chen Yuanyuan, you're unreasonable. First, you released your dog to bite me, but your pet beast failed to bite me and was frightened by my pet beast's aura. Who can you blame for that? Even so, you didn't reflect on it, and now you're provoking me and speaking disrespectfully. I advise you to rein in your horse before it's too late. Don't make things worse. "
Lin Jin tilted his head up, sounding like a senior reprimanding a junior.
Lin Jin was doing this on purpose.
Otherwise, would he really argue with the other party?
Does she deserve it?
As expected, this angered Chen Yuanyuan.
"Lin Jin, who do you think you are to lecture me? General Weiwu, bite him. " Chen Yuanyuan wanted to urge her pet beast to attack but just as she said, her General Weiwu had long been scared out of its wits by Xiao Huo. It had only recovered a little over the past two days so how would it dare to attack again?
Hence, no matter how Chen Yuanyuan commanded, the maned mane remained unmoved.
Chen Yuanyuan's temper flared. Thinking that General Weiwu was putting her in a difficult position, she whipped out her whip and lashed at her pet beast.
"Trash, bite him! Get up! Get up!"
The whip cracked loudly, and soon, her pet beast was covered in cuts and bruises.
Everyone around them couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Lin Jin shook his head, musing about how unlucky this jackal was to have such a master. It was a pity that the jackal was only average in strength and wasn't a rare beast so it couldn't break free from the blood contract with its own abilities. All it could do was curl up pitifully into a ball.
"Let's go!" Lin Jin couldn't take it anymore.
Chen Yuanyuan tossed her whip aside and turned to Lin Jin. "Lin Jin, you piece of trash. Do you know why my Chen family called off the engagement with you back then? It was because I looked down on you. Although you're a beast appraiser, you weren't put in an important position. You're cowardly and unambitious. If I were to marry you, I would only be a laughingstock. The husband I, Chen Yuanyuan, want is someone who can bring me glory and fame, someone who can lead my Chen family to greatness. And you, you're a complete failure. "
She gritted her teeth, her expression contorted.
This woman must be crazy.
Wasn't this the same as sacrificing eight hundred men to kill one thousand enemies?
Who in their right mind would reveal such a private matter?
But then again, this move was quite lethal. If this was the Lin Jin of the past, he might have vomited blood from anger. After all, an ex-fiancée had publicly said that he was useless, useless, cowardly, and that was why she called off the engagement. No man would be able to take this lying down.
Even the current Lin Jin was a little angry.
Now, Lin Jin was him, and he was Lin Jin.
Just then, a person hurried over with a fragrant breeze. She reached out to hold Lin Jin's arm and said, "Darling Lin, you promised to wait for me. Why are you here first?"
Zu Can was dumbfounded at this sight. Lin Jin was dumbfounded as well.
The woman who held Lin Jin's arm had a gentle and pleasant voice. Her looks were much better than Chen Yuanyuan's, and it was none other than Lu Xiaoyun.
Lin Jin's scalp tingled. He wanted to ask Xiaoyun, 'What are you doing?'
But he soon saw the cunning glint in Lu Xiaoyun's large, beautiful eyes.
Understood.
Lin Jin smiled and accepted it calmly.
Then, Lu Xiaoyun threw a haughty glance at the dumbfounded Chen Yuanyuan and said, "You have no taste. You missed out on him, and that's that. Woman, you're jealous of my Darling Lin's achievements. You wanted to get back with him but failed, so you're shameless enough to slander Lin Jin in front of everyone. Who said Lin Jin is incapable? Now that my Lin Jin is a Rank 2 beast appraiser, his future is limitless. Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't be able to reach him. "
Zu Can sucked in a breath of cold air. He exchanged glances with Lin Jin, reading the same thing in each other's eyes.
When this woman started tearing, it was truly earth-shattering. Terrifying, terrifying!
Chen Yuanyuan paled in anger. She laughed in spite of her anger. "Where did this prostitute come from? What nonsense are you spouting? Only Lin Jin can become a Rank 2 beast appraiser. I'd rather believe that the sun rises from the west and pigs can climb trees."
Lu Xiaoyun's expression turned cold. She stepped forward and slapped Chen Yuanyuan across the face.
The slap was loud, clear, and crisp.
Chen Yuanyuan was dumbfounded.
"Watch your mouth. Lin Jin is a man so he doesn't want to argue with a woman like you. But if you continue spouting nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Lu Xiaoyun's expression was as cold as ice. She looked like a man-eating leopard.
"Also, let me tell you this on behalf of Lin Jin. It's not that he isn't worthy of you, it's that you aren't worthy of him. Thank you for not marrying me!"
