Chapter 111: Watching That Clean, Upright Look on Yan Beicheng, She Re-evaluated Her Impression of Him

Lin Chu explained the matter on the way.

It turned out that Cheng Ziming went to the rented house shared by Lin Chu and Xu Moyan again that night.

Cheng Ziming was there for Lin Chu, but since Lin Chu had already moved in with Yan Beicheng, Cheng Ziming would not be able to find her there.

Cheng Ziming wanted Lin Chu to take the initiative to let the public know that everything was just a rumor. He wanted her to tell everyone that this was all a ruse by someone who wanted to take down the Lin family, and that person had purposely misled Su Changxin and Lin Yuwen to say those words when in fact, both mother and daughter treated her well.

If Lin Chu, as the person implicated in the matter stood up to clarify the matter, then no one can comment much of anything even if they were still suspicious about it.

Lin Yuwen and Su Changxin would never make the apology. Lin Yuwen had told Su Changxin about the situation when they had returned home. Su Changxin had immediately cursed at Lin Chu and thought for sure that this was Lin Chu’s doing. She must be jealous of the Lin family living a good life and was a traitor to the family.

Cheng Ziming was also sure that Lin Chu was behind it all. Lin Chu had claimed that she did not want to reveal her personal affairs but what worth does it really have? If she could get the Lin family in trouble and gain sympathy from the public at the same time, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

He would have done the same if it was him.

However, they were standing on different stances now.

Xu Moyan was so angry at his words that she wanted to give Cheng Ziming a good scolding. Cheng Ziming had never liked Xu Moyan. He thought that she had a bad temper and was too forceful. Who would dare want to be with a woman like her?

He was not willing to say anything more to her and just shouted noisily for Lin Chu to come out.

Xu Moyan had told him that Lin Chu was not there but Cheng Ziming did not believe her. Xu Moyan then said that Lin Chu had moved in with Yan Beicheng.

Cheng Ziming believed that. He also knew that if he asked Lin Chu to meet him, Lin Chu would not agree. She would not even pick up his call.

“Give Lin Chu a call and ask her out!” Cheng Ziming ordered rudely. His face was pulled really low, as if Xu Moyan owed him something.

“Why should I do that? Cheng Ziming, you’re a married man. You’ve also admitted that you were the one that let Lin Chu down in the first place, so what are you doing harassing her? Get out of here and stop being disturbing the peace. I won’t help you ask Lin Chu out. No one owes you anything. Your wrongdoing has been exposed and you still have the gall to come looking for Lin Chu? This wasn’t Lin Chu’s doing, but even if it was, it would be fair because you deserve this. Stop being so shameless and get out of here!” Xu Moyan raged.

Cheng Ziming went green in the face at Xu Moyan’s scolding, the look in his eyes were frighteningly dark, “What has this got to do with you? Xu Moyan, I’ve had enough of you. Who do you think you are to judge this matter between me and Lin Chu? No matter what, you need to get her out here. Can you make a decision for Lin Chu? The answer is no!”

Xu Moyan sneered, “What this? Who do you think you are? Does everyone here need to follow your instructions?”

With that, she shut the door tight.

Cheng Ziming could no longer take it after being scolded by Xu Moyan this way. He pushed the door open roughly and tried to barge in, “So, you don’t want to make the call, do you? Then I won’t leave until you do!”

“Cheng Ziming, you are such a ruffian and a hooligan! Fine! Do you want to wait here? I’m calling the police!” Xu Moyan took out her phone to call the police.

Chang Ziming, of course, did not consent. He snatched the phone from Xu Moyan and smashed it to the ground.

Xu Moyan was overcome by anger as she shouted with blood-red eyes, “Cheng Ziming, is bullying women the only thing you know how to do?”

With that, she gave Cheng Ziming a slap.

Cheng Ziming had always disliked her. When he was with Lin Chu, Xu Moyan had already acted negative about their relationship, always saying that Cheng Ziming was untrustworthy.

After receiving the slap, he returned the favor. How could a woman’s strength compare to that of a man? The slap Xu Moyan gave Cheng Ziming was nothing compared to the slap Cheng Ziming gave her.

Xu Moyan’s face was red with pain. No matter how much of a force she was, she does have her weak moments. This time, she was living alone and had no one to depend on. Tears filled up her eyes.

The neighbor had heard the argument and came outside to find out what was happening. They saw Xu Moyan’s face swollen really red on one side and she was crying.

The neighbor lady quickly hugged Xu Moyan in her arms and got her daughter to call the police.

Cheng Ziming wanted to escape when he realized he had created huge trouble, but the neighbor’s husband stopped him and refused to let him go. He pointed at his nose and scolded him for being less of a man for hitting a woman.

“Xiao Xu, is he your boyfriend?” The neighbor lady had a disapproving look. If it was her boyfriend, they should break up immediately.

Xu Moyan shook her head and wiped her tears away, “No, he’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. He cheated on her and married a rich man’s daughter. He let my friend down. Now that there are some issues with the family, he came back here to get my friend’s help but she’s no longer staying her. Yet, he insists on me to call her out. When I refused, he tried to barge into my house, so I hit him. But he gave me a slap back.”

The neighbor lady was really angry and spat at Cheng Ziming, “What is this, what sort of person are you?! You should be sent to the police station. Calling you a despicable man would be considered praise for you!”

Cheng Ziming was being held on by her husband and could not escape. He looked a sorry figure while he was being scolded and his clothes ruffled up.

When the neighbor’s husband felt that he could not hold on much longer, he got his daughter to call up the neighbors from upstairs and downstairs to come to watch Cheng Ziming.

Just like this, any attempts by Cheng Ziming to escape were futile as all the neighbors who heard the news came to watch him.

It went on this way until the police arrived to get Cheng Ziming. Xu Moyan had also followed them back to record her statement.

Xu Moyan was not that bothered since she was only recording her statement. The one that would be charged was Cheng Ziming. What she did not expect was when the police wanted a contact from Cheng Ziming to come bail him out, he actually gave them Lin Chu’s number.

Xu Moyan had not planned to let Lin Chu know about this. She guessed Cheng Ziming’s intentions. She had refused to call her out, so Cheng Ziming took the opportunity to contact Lin Chu.

Xu Moyan immediately gave Lin Chu a call, explaining the situation.

On the way there, Yan Beicheng gave Yan Hui’s lawyer, Mr. Zhou, a call to get him to go to the police station as well.

Lin Chu had felt that Xu Moyan was not the one who broke the law. They were going over to just pick her up, was there a need for a lawyer?

But since Yan Beicheng had contacted him, she did not object to it either.

At the police station, Xu Moyan had calmed down. However, Lin Chu’s temper rose to a rage when she saw the swollen slap imprinted on Xu Moyan’s face. She could not hold it down any longer.

She wanted to throw up at the sight of Cheng Ziming’s face. She was filled with hatred for it. How could such a disgusting, cheap man exist in this world?!

She walked up to him in a few steps and gave Cheng Ziming a slap, “I have no idea that you would be someone who could hit a woman. You make me feel disgusted. You never listened when I told you to stop harassing me. If you had just a shred of capability, you should come after me and stop harassing Moyan! Let me tell you this, I’m not living there anymore, so stop heading there every day. I want to throw up at the sight of you. I’ve never in my life felt so disgusted about someone before. That slap I gave you had just dirtied my hands!”

Cheng Ziming was looked disheveled from the slap. He stood up in a rage, as if about to hit Lin Chu.

He raised his arms halfway when someone grabbed his wrists. He raised his head and saw Yan Beicheng shielding Lin Chu behind him. He strengthened his grip on him and said coldly, “Well, aren’t you something? Try touching a hair on her head and let’s see what happens.”

Cheng Ziming frowned in pain as his expression changed. He did not expect Yan Beicheng to be so strong.

Those from the Eight Dominant Families would be sent to the Lanshan Institution to learn some martial arts. They did not need to become experts but they need to learn enough for self-preservation. It was more than enough to take care of Cheng Ziming.

Yan Beicheng’s fingers found an acupoint on him and did not need to exert too much energy to hurt Cheng Ziming, who wanted to cry from the pain.

Yan Beicheng let go of his wrists in disgust, as if it was dirty. “I guess you don’t really have the capability to handle anything, since all you know to do is run towards your ex-girlfriend to harass her. I used to think that you were just useless, depending on a woman’s money. But today, after seeing that you are capable of hitting a woman, I was overestimating you. It’s been an eye-opener for me.”

Cheng Ziming’s turned pale and green, “Just because Yuwen said a few angry words during our wedding, you’re taking revenge on the Lin family with such despicable means. How good can you be? People say that Master Yan is an impressive force of nature, who knew you would be such a petty person.”

Yan Beicheng gave a cold sneer of indifference, “Tsk. I don’t need to use these underhanded means to take care of the Lin family. That would be too much trouble.”

Yan Beicheng smiled coldly and ignored him.

Lin Chu was already with Xu Moyan. They were not planning on signing the bail for Cheng Ziming, no one cared about him. This way, Cheng Ziming would be unable to leave and he would need to call his family.

Lin Chu heard his phone call to Cheng Jindong. He requested for this to be kept a secret from Wang Jinglin, otherwise, she would be worried and cry.

When Cheng Ziming was making the call, Lawyer Zhou arrived in a hurry. Although he had driven over, he looked like he had run over in a rush from the car and did not bother to stop for breath. One could feel the cold wind wafting from his clothes through the air.

Yan Beicheng pulled Lawyer Zhou aside to explain the matter.

He told Lawyer Zhou as Cheng Ziming looked like he was about to hang up. “Don’t expose Xu Moyan’s identity, but what Cheng Ziming did today must be revealed tomorrow along with the Lin family name. They’re about the same matter, anyway. Since he’s been acting so shameless, I’ll tear him apart.”

Lawyer Zhou nodded. No one bothered about Cheng Ziming but Xu Moyan was brought away.

Xu Moyan had suffered a shock tonight for the sake of Lin Chu, and it was indeed her fault. Lin Chu felt guilty and insisted on accompanying Xu Moyan. She refused to go back to Ding City with Yan Beicheng.

Yan Beicheng looked at her expressionless. He did not say a word nor did he appear angry. But it was obvious that he was not willing.

Lin Chu pretended not to notice. Xu Moyan rubbed medicinal cream on her own face as she said, “Stop it, it’s not anything serious. How much more shock can I be in? You don’t need to stay here to accompany me.”

Lin Chu snatched the cream from her hands and squeezed some onto her finger to help Xu Moyan put it on. She did not allow her to move around, “Why are you standing on ceremony with me? I was the one that got you into all this trouble in the first place. If you let me leave you here, I won’t be able to sleep in peace tonight. You’re the one that should stop it.”

In the end, Xu Moyan had to concede with looking at Yan Beicheng’s darkened expression, but she still said to Lin Chu quietly, “Just… Just this once then. I can’t take so much pressure from Yan Beicheng.”

Lin Chu’s mouth twitched, “Okay, I understand.”

Yan Beicheng took the two of them back and seemed determined to delay his departure.

He sat on the sofa stiffly, like a statue, and made no attempt to leave. He sat silently for more than ten minutes.

Xu Moyan did not have Lin Chu’s patience. She could not stay there without feeling the pressure from Yan Beicheng’s presence. She made the excuse of going to the kitchen to boil some eggs to soothe her swollen face.

Yan Beicheng turned on the television with the remote casually and channel surfed. There was nothing good on television. In the end, he settled on a subpar variety show.

“…” When Xu Moyan had returned with the eggs for her face, she saw that Yan Beicheng had no intention of leaving as he had turned on the television. She wanted to advise Lin Chu to return to Ding City with Yan Beicheng.

Watching that clean, upright look on Yan Beicheng, but knowing the truth of him insisting on staying by pretending that he did not have to leave, she re-evaluated her impression of him.

Lin Chu passed a glass of water to Yan Beicheng and looked at the time. She finally said, “It’s getting late. It’s a long way back. You’d better leave before it gets too late.”

Yan Beicheng did not say a word but gave her a faint look. His dark eyes seemed to be saying that he was in a sad state now, like he was being abandoned.

Lin Chu cuddled up next to him gently and said quietly, “It’s getting really late. I’d be worried for you once you get to the road.”

Yan Beicheng’s face seemed to cheer up slightly. Lin Chu was thinking how best to persuade him to leave when she saw Yan Beicheng nodding seriously. “It is too late and it’s too worrying to be on the road. I’m feeling low-spirited today and I’m really tired. I’m afraid something might really happen to me on the road.”

Lin Chu, “…”

Judging by his words, he was not planning to leave.

Even though his words did not hold much water and he did not look like someone in low spirits, but Lin Chu began to get worried. What if it was true?

Xu Moyan took the opportunity to say, “Lin Chu, why not let Master Yan stay the night? He’ll be in the same room as you, anyway. There’d be no problem at all.”

Lin Chu did not feel good about this and hesitated. Before she said anything, Yan Beicheng was already nodding. “Thank you for Miss Xu for being so sincere with letting me spend the night. It would not be nice of me to insist on leaving.”

As he said it, he was already taking his phone out of his pocket. “Aunt Zhuang, it’s me. Pack a fresh set of clothes for me to change tomorrow and get Shao Huai to bring it over to Lin Chu’s old place first thing in the morning.”

“…”

“Yes, Shao Huai knows the location.”

Xu Moyan, “…”

Lin Chu, “…”

Yan Beicheng sized up the living room after hanging up. He did not come here often but he was familiar enough with the place.

“Cheng Ziming knows this place. It’s not a good thing if he comes often to harass you,” Yan Beicheng said in his clear voice. He looked grim.

If Cheng Ziming was always coming here to harass Xu Moyan, she would be at a loss. Lin Chu would feel guilty about it. After all, this happened because of her.

“I’ll get someone to come over tomorrow to give you a few options for rental. You can take your pick and move immediately. What do you think? Don’t worry about the rental here. I will get a lawyer to be in touch with your landlord and return the remainder of your rent money to you,” Yan Beicheng said as he looked at Xu Moyan.

Xu Moyan nodded. There was no reason for her to reject this. “I won’t stand on ceremony then. I’m thoroughly annoyed by Cheng Ziming. That thick-skinned person might just come here to harass me over every little thing he faces.”

Lin Chu thought about Zheng Yuntong and discussed it over with Xu Moyan. Xu Moyan felt that she would still share a house with Zheng Yuntong. There would be someone to accompany her in a slightly bigger place and she could save on half the rental. Besides, Zheng Yuntong had nowhere to stay right now and it was not right to leave her behind.

Cheng Ziming’s doing was spread over the internet the next day. There was no mention of Xu Moyan. All it said was that Chang Ziming was harassing a woman by barging into her house and hitting her.

Lin Yuwen had already caused damage to their reputation. Following this news, Cheng Ziming’s reputation had dropped steadily into the sewers.

Zheng Yuntong turned off the webpage and bit viciously on the soft candy in her mouth as she said, “What a despicable man! Serves him right!”

Lin Chu had contacted Zheng Yuntong last night to explain the matter of moving to another house. She had to explain the reason to her.

Lin Chu was watching the stock market and pointed at the computer screen. “Lin Mao’s stock has dropped further because of what happened with him.”

“Weren’t they acting arrogant yesterday? They didn’t want to use our services. Let’s see what they plan to do next,” Zheng Yuntong snorted.

“There’s no need to plan. Lin Zhenghe had contacted me. He has agreed to our plan,” Lu Lixin walked over and gave the table two knocks with his knuckles as he said so.

Next thing they knew, they were busy preparing for the press conference for Lin Yuwen and Su Changxin to make their apology. They needed to make sure that the preparation was not rushed, so today would not be possible to host it.

Lin Zhenghe could not wait any longer. He suffered a terrible loss for these past two days and demanded the fastest speed in getting everything done. The press conference was decided to be held at noon the next day.

Lu Lixin only took charge of the bigger picture. As for detailed matters, they were naturally handed over to her and Zheng Yuntong.

Both of them had found a location to hold the press conference and prepared the hall for the next day. At noon today, Lu Lixin brought Lin Chu and Zheng Yuntong over to Lin Mao to discuss with Lin Zhenghe and Lin Yuwen on the next day’s speech for them and Su Changxin.

There was already a script ready for Su Changxin. All Su Changxin had to do was memorize it and give the speech word for word. The main discussion now was to find out how the script should be written for Lin Zhenghe and Lin Yuwen to accept it.

This time, the company car was being used by someone else, so Lu Lixin drove Lin Chu and Zheng Yuntong to Lin Mao in his car.

On the way there, Lin Chu picked up Yan Beicheng’s call. He informed her that he had to entertain some guests tonight and will get Shao Huai to pick her up instead.

Lin Yuwen looked at Lin Chu with hate. “You’ve finally got your wish. I and my mum will be apologizing humbly to you in public, in front of so many people. Are you happy now?”

“Miss Lin, let’s mind our words here,” Lin Chu said coldly with a hint of sarcasm.

“Don’t forget how all this trouble started. Reporters are everywhere. We cannot guarantee that they are secretly filming us somewhere. You’ve already fallen into that trap once, don’t you remember, Miss Lin?”

“When did I say anything unfit? It would be even better with a camera. Everyone will see you for the hypocrite you really are,” Lin Yuwen clenched her teeth as she said.

“Let’s talk business first,” Lin Zhenghe gave Lin Yuwen a warning look.

Then he gave Lin Chu an unfriendly glare, “Remember who you are.”

Lin Chu pressed her lips sardonically and did not say another word.

Lin Yuwen looked at no more than a few sentences on the script before saying angrily, “I don’t agree with this part!”

Lu Lixin said coldly, “Miss Lin, we do hope to have your cooperation. If you continue to go against us, then there is no need to work together any longer. You’re only wasting all our time this way. I will make it clear. You need to say this sincerely for it to take effect. The public is not stupid. They would be able to tell how much sincerity you pour into your words. Even if you are pretending, you would need to make it look real for your own sakes. If you are not satisfied with this script and don’t want to apologize tearfully, we could change the contents. But if there is no effect, it would have nothing to do with us, but with you refusing to cooperate. You can be dissatisfied with us and pick on us but Lin Mao can’t afford to wait anymore. If you are so unhappy about it, you are welcome to get another company to help you out. We don’t want to risk Lin Yi’s reputation by indulging you.”
