Chapter 3 Fire Her!

Lin Yuzhen felt like her head just exploded. She stared in shock at Jiang Ning. She never expected him to hit someone else for her. And the person he hit was Lin Feng! The eldest grandson of the Lins! Just because…she was his wife now? “You’re asking for it!” Lin Feng got up from the ground and took a punch in Jiang Ning’s direction. Nobody had ever dared to hit him, and worse still, this was Lin Yuzhen’s husband, a useless man who married into the family! CRACK! His fist had just reached in front of Jiang Ning when Jiang Ning used one hand to grab his fist. Jiang Ning suddenly exerted some strength and the next thing Lin Feng heard was a loud crack of his wrist! “AHHHH!” It was broken! Lin Feng howled in pain. “She is my wife. Nobody is to bully her from now on.” Jiang Ning only let go of his hand after saying this, then he dragged Lin Yuzhen away while she was still completely stunned. “I’m going to kill you! I’m going to KILL YOU!” Lin Feng held his wrist, the pain nearly killing him. He never expected that the piece of garbage his own family found to be a son-in-law had dared to hit him. Lin Yuzhen was doomed! Her whole family was doomed! Lin Feng quickly ran back into the hotel and couldn’t be bothered to treat his injury. Lin Qiang was still in the hall, chatting with some business partners. “Dad! Dad!” Lin Feng dashed over immediately, and Lin Qiang frowned as his conversation was interrupted. “Since your son has things to discuss with you, then we’ll talk another time.” The guests got up and left. Lin Qiang scowled and snorted, “What a mess. What is it!” “Dad, someone beat me!” Lin Feng clenched his teeth, “Look at my hand, it’s broken!” “Who did this?” Lin Qiang immediately stood up. Even he couldn’t bear to hit his own precious son – who dared to be so vicious? “Jiang Ning!” Lin Feng clenched his teeth hard, “That husband of Lin Yuzhen that married into the family!” They had just given Jiang Ning a new lease of life. Never mind if he wasn’t grateful for this, he actually dared to hit Lin Feng. He was just a homeless man, a useless piece of garbage, and he was rebelling! Lin Qiang was furious. “That useless man that married into the family?” According to the information they had, Jiang Ning was homeless and completely hopeless. He even had intermittent bouts of insanity – so perhaps it was his mental illness acting up. “Lin Yuzhen told him to slap me, and he really did!” “My hand was hit so hard it’s broken now!” Lin Feng’s eyes were red from anger. When had he ever suffered like this before? Lin Qiang frowned, “That guy has some mental illness, and maybe it suddenly acted up.” He immediately ordered someone to get a doctor for Lin Feng’s injury. “Don’t provoke crazy people like him. But that Lin Yuzhen actually got Jiang Ning to hit you. Humph! I won’t let her off easily!” “Dad, chase her out of the family!” This was a good excuse to do so. If Lin Xiao knew about this matter, Lin Yuzhen and family would definitely have to go! Where did they get the guts to hit the eldest grandson of the Lins? “Lin Yuzhen is currently in charge of a project and it’s at a very important stage now, we’re going to sign the contract soon. If we chase her out now, it might affect this project.” Lin Yuzhen was really good at her work – she had taken up several projects in the short time of two years. But that was precisely why Lin Qiang and his son were so worried. They were afraid that Lin Yuzhen would be able to gain footing in the company and pose as a threat to them. “Dad, since the project is almost good to go, it doesn’t matter who goes to get the contract signed. If I’m the one who manages to get these large projects signed, Grandpa would definitely think more highly of me.” Lin Feng viciously continued, “Chase her out! This family of leeches can all go and die!” …… Meanwhile. Jiang Ning went home with Lin Yuzhen. Lin Yuzhen was still stunned the whole way home. She had never thought that Jiang Ning would hit someone for her. When she had snapped back to reality, she started to worry. Jiang Ning’s attack would probably have offended Lin Feng. Knowing that idiot’s temper, he would definitely get back at Jiang Ning. Ding dong! She pressed the door bell, and after some time, Lin Wen opened the door and looked at Lin Yuzhen with eyes filled with guilt. “Yuzhen, you’re back.” Lin Wen looked at Jiang Ning behind her and his face fell. But he didn’t say anything and just nodded. “Come…come in.” “DO NOT COME IN!” Jiang Ning hadn’t set a foot in when Sumei came dashing out, her face still tearstained. “Get out! GET OUT!” “It’s because of you, Yuzhen is going to become the laughingstock of Donghai, you’ve destroyed her!” “Get out! NOW!” Sumei was crying as she shouted. She was not willing at all to let Jiang Ning marry into her family. If Jiang Ning was an outstanding man, she might be able to accept it. But then? Jiang Ning was older than Lin Yuzhen by ten years, no achievements whatsoever and was homeless! This man was more disgraceful than she could handle. Jiang Ning didn’t say anything and turned to leave, but Lin Yuzhen suddenly grabbed his hand. “Mum, let him come in.” If she let Jiang Ning leave now, Lin Feng would surely find someone to kill him. He had hit someone else for her sake, so Lin Yuzhen couldn’t just leave him like that. “Yuzhen, he…” “He is now…my husband.” Lin Yuzhen bit her lips. The word ‘husband’ was so strange to her, it seemed to carry needles that stabbed painfully at her heart. Sumei’s lips trembled as she shook her head in despair, “I’m washing my hands of this!” She ran back to her room and slammed the door shut. “Come in,” Lin Yuzhen gently said to him. Jiang Ning nodded and walked into this house that wasn’t considered large. The Lins were a third tier wealthy family in Donghai, but Lin Yuzhen’s house was even smaller than the average. “Come with me.” Lin Yuzhen was afraid that Sumei would chase Jiang Ning away again, so she brought him into her own room. The room wasn’t large, but it was very neat and tidy. Lin Yuzhen took out a rug and a mat from the cupboard and placed them on the floor. Her voice was a little tired as she said, “You’d better not go out for the time being. Lin Feng won’t let you off. Stay in my house first, he wouldn’t dare to touch you here.” Lin Yuzhen looked at Jiang Ning. It was difficult to imagine that she suddenly had a husband. “From now on, you’ll sleep on the floor, I’ll sleep on the bed. You live your life and I’ll live mine, ok?” Jiang Ning didn’t say anything and just nodded. He knew that Lin Yuzhen definitely couldn’t remember him and definitely couldn’t fall in love with him. Perhaps she even hated him, because he had suddenly become her husband. But deep inside, she was still a kind person. She was afraid that Lin Feng would hurt him, so even though it made her uncomfortable, she still wanted him to stay, to protect him. This woman was still so kind even after she had grown up. Jiang Ning started deliberating whether he should take out the sweet wrapper, but after thinking it through, he decided against it. Both of them remained silent and the atmosphere became rather awkward. Suddenly, Lin Yuzhen’s phone started ringing. Her face turned white as a sheet. “Lin Yuzhen, from today onwards, you don’t have to report to the Lin Group for work anymore!” The phone call was from Lin Feng, and he arrogantly said, “Humph! My dad has fired you! Your family can slowly starve to death!” With that, Lin Feng slammed down the phone. Lin Yuzhen took a long time to react. She had been fired? Because she had asked Jiang Ning to hit Lin Feng? Since she was young, this idiot had bullied her so badly, but he never went through any sort of punishment for it. Lin Yuzhen felt like crying from this unfair treatment. Jiang Ning immediately frowned when he saw this. This Lin Feng, was he seeking death now?
