Chapter 226: A Lesson Learned
Zhou Xun was stunned when he saw Lin Rusi suddenly become so emotional.
Lin Rusi had no idea that he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She was walking along the street when she was stopped by such a frivolous man. It was incredibly unlucky.
The voices of the people around her were incessant, and Lin Rusi frowned.
Lin Rusi felt a chill run down her spine when she saw him leering at her.
Zhou Xun snapped out of his daze and saw Lin Rusi's fox-like eyes staring at him; his heart melted.
He sighed inwardly, wondering how there could be such a beautiful woman.
It's such a shame that such a beautiful woman doesn't belong to him!
No matter what, he had to get Lin Rusi.
"Sisi, Sisi, come to my side." Zhou Xun waved to her, revealing an expression that was more like a grimace than a smile: "Let your brother take good care of you."
Seeing that Lin Rusi remained silent, he became even more arrogant.
Zhou Xun rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight, and slowly said, "Sisi, don't be angry with your brother. I'll take you out to play tonight."
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and people around them kept pointing and whispering.
An older woman carrying a basket said in an unfriendly tone, "How could Miss Lin be associated with such a lecherous man? They must be birds of a feather."
The woman next to her suddenly raised her voice: "That's right, this Miss Lin is too indecent. One man isn't enough, she also has contact with the Zhou family's son. She's really corrupting morals."
"What a shameless couple!"
"How could Lin Rusi be with someone like that? It's a disgrace to the Lin family. Look at Miss Lin, the difference between a legitimate daughter and a concubine's daughter is just that."
She hadn't done anything wrong, but those people suddenly started hurling insults at her.
The voices criticizing her grew louder and louder, and seeing that Lin Rusi remained silent with her lips tightly pressed together, those people became even more arrogant.
“Miss Lin, are we telling you the truth, and you’re afraid to admit it?” A girl about the same age as Lin Rusi questioned, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain.
It was as if she had committed some heinous crime!
Lin Rusi clenched her fists, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Enough is enough! There's no need to endure it any longer!
She didn't want to cause trouble, and she didn't want her arrogant and domineering image from her previous life to continue in this one.
But Lin Rusi realized that simply giving in would only make people more unruly.
"Shut up if you don't want to die, or believe me, I'll take your life!"
Lin Rusi was so angry that she felt a surge of anger on her face, and once that anger rose, it was hard to calm down.
As she spoke, she strode closer to Zhou Xun: "You drink and carouse every day, and you're still not drunk to death? Now you're having delusions, aren't you? Don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like? How dare you try to take advantage of me?"
Lin Rusi's face flushed red. If you don't scold this kind of person, he'll really think he's someone important.
Zhou Xun's face turned ashen. He never expected that Lin Rusi, who had always been gentle and kind in his heart, would dare to curse him.
When they were little, she used to follow him around playing. She hadn't seen him for a long time, and she never expected him to treat her like this now.
Zhou Xun roared, "Lin Rusi, say that again! How could you talk to me like that?"
Lin Rusi sneered: "Are you sure you want to hear it again? Are you out of your mind?"
Zhou Xun's eyes were bloodshot, as if he was furious. He glared at her, seemingly certain that Lin Rusi wouldn't dare say anything more.
He sneered, "Go ahead and say it. Let's see if you dare say it again."
"I told you to get lost."
Zhou Xun was furious, and the veins on his body bulged.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the guard blocked his way. Hearing the increasing number of people around him cursing their young master, he said anxiously to Zhou Xun, "Young master, don't be angry, let's leave quickly."
As they spoke, these people stood in front of Zhou Xun, not wanting him to cause trouble.
If the master finds out he's caused trouble, they'll be the ones who get beaten and scolded in the end.
Several people formed a human wall in front of Zhou Xun.
This only provoked him further, as he felt that these people were all on Lin Rusi's side.
Zhou Xun shoved the guards aside with brute force and yelled, "Get out of my way!"
He broke through the human wall and ran directly in front of Lin Rusi.
Lin Rusi crossed her arms and looked at him standing awkwardly in front of her, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When Zhou Xun saw that she was happy, he thought that Lin Rusi had realized her mistake, and he felt a sense of relief.
He straightened up and flicked his sleeves: "Lin Rusi, if you apologize now for what you just said to me, I might consider forgiving you."
This person is ridiculous; they're just deluding themselves.
He must have drunk too much wine and women, and was hallucinating.
"Forgive me?" Lin Rusi laughed out loud. "Keep dreaming."
Zhou Xun's grin suddenly stopped. He widened his eyes and yelled, "You're asking for it!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms, his eyes blazing with fury, and charged straight at them.
Ha, overestimating yourself.
Lin Rusi nimbly dodged.
Zhou Xun missed his target, and the momentum caused him to fall flat on his face.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi laughed so hard she almost fell over.
This person is stupid, dumb, and has delusions.
"Pah!" Zhou Xun spat, his face covered in sand.
He opened his mouth wide, touched the corner of his mouth, and looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, a flock of birds flew overhead, and bird droppings dripped directly onto Zhou Xun's face.
"Hahahahaha" This scene made even the people around them want to laugh.
He closed his eyes, his face turned green, and shouted, "Lin Rusi!"
As he spoke, he suddenly got up and rushed straight towards Lin Rusi.
"Peng"
Seizing the opportunity, she kicked the man in the groin.
The man screamed in pain as his vital spot was kicked: "Ah, help!"
Lin Rusi covered her mouth, unable to hold back her laughter any longer, and laughed heartily.
This arrogant man thinks he can fight her? Does he think she's a pushover?
I didn't argue with him just now because I didn't want to do it in public.
This man has repeatedly challenged her bottom line, so she can't blame him. Instead of enjoying his wine and women, he had to spout nonsense at her. He has to be able to bear the consequences.
The onlookers covered their mouths, laughing uproariously.
"I advise you not to mess with me." Lin Rusi was still not satisfied and kicked him again: "By the way, who did you say you were just now? Don't try to scam me."
As she spoke, she curled her lips into a smile and continued to laugh, arms crossed, "Look at yourself! You don't drink your wine and women, but come here to cause trouble. Don't blame me for being impolite."
Hearing her say this, the people around her suddenly remembered asking Lin Rusi about kicking Zhou Xun earlier, and instantly understood what had happened.
"Oh, I see. I knew you were overthinking it. It turns out that Zhou Xun was trying to scam Miss Lin."
A man nearby suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "I knew the Lin family was a wealthy family, how could they associate with such a scoundrel?"
