Chapter 103 The Innocent Lin Yue
Chapter 103 The Innocent Lin Yue
However, to his utter surprise, he was met with a fierce glare from Lin Yue, who then quickly turned her head away and ignored him.
Li Yuetian: "???" What did I do now?
Seeing this, Lu Chen cleverly slipped over to Tang Wenwen and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Weren't you fine just now?" Tang Wenwen sighed helplessly and replied with a hint of self-reproach, "Sigh, it's all my fault. I said the wrong thing just now, and now Li Yuetian is in trouble."
...
"Is that woman Ye Chen's fiancée?" On the top of a towering building not far away, a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face, but whose face was full of anger, was holding an exquisite telescope and staring intently at Lin Yue at the entrance of the mall.
She gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, "Hmph, look at her seductive appearance, with two men by her side. She's a born vixen. No wonder she could easily seduce my Ye Chen!"
This person's name is Qin?, and he is a member of the Qin family. In the short two months of the summer vacation that just passed, Ye Chen experienced many classic medical scenes from popular fantasy novels. His reputation as a medical saint swept through the major aristocratic families like a whirlwind. His miraculous medical skills and extraordinary demeanor made several powerful families flock to him, all eager to climb up to Ye Chen and bring him under their wing.
At the same time, the Zhou family publicly announced that Ye Chen had become their son-in-law, which was tantamount to declaring to the world that Ye Chen had stood on the same side as the Zhou family.
However, the Wang family was furious upon learning this news, because they had also tried to win over Ye Chen, but now that the Zhou family had gotten there first, how could they not be resentful?
Enraged, the Wang family secretly resorted to underhanded tactics, spreading the secret that the fiancée the Zhou family had arranged for Ye Chen was actually just an illegitimate daughter of the Zhou family to other families. They also mocked the Zhou family for successfully climbing the social ladder by relying on an unknown illegitimate daughter.
The mastermind behind all of this was none other than Wang Mengyun, the eldest daughter of the Wang family. She meticulously planned and executed this conspiracy against the Zhou family, attempting to sabotage the marriage alliance between Ye Chen and the Zhou family, thereby creating an opportunity for her family to regain control of Ye Chen, this tempting piece of meat.
Even though she already had three beautiful and charming women like the three sisters by her side, Ye Chen still couldn't forget Lin Yue! This made her jealousy burn fiercely. What was so good about this lowly illegitimate daughter!
Therefore, Wang Mengyun did not hesitate to expose the matter to various families, and she blamed all the faults on Lin Yue.
The Zhou family was aware of the message Wang Mengyun had sent to the various families, but they didn't explain it to them, which clearly meant they tacitly accepted it. Old Madam Zhou's idea was to use this opportunity to force Lin Yue back to the Zhou family to marry Ye Chen.
Ye Chen is known for his womanizing ways, having entangled himself with many women and developed complicated relationships with them. So, after Wang Mengyun's outburst, those women seemed to have finally found a target to vent their jealousy on.
Among these women, the most eye-catching was Qin Yan, the eldest daughter of the Qin family. This Qin Yan was notoriously arrogant and haughty, always believing herself to be superior to everyone else. Upon learning that Ye Chen's fiancée was merely an illegitimate child, her jealousy instantly ignited.
She lowered her binoculars, looked into the room, and ordered her subordinates through gritted teeth, "Go! Knock this slut out and bring her back! I want to see for myself what this vixen is capable of to seduce Ye Chen!"
Lin Yue, however, was completely unaware of this. She had always disliked Ye Chen, yet in the eyes of others, she was Ye Chen's fiancée. This fictitious identity unknowingly made her the object of secret hatred for many women.
...
"Hmm?" Lin Yue's gaze suddenly sharpened. She looked at the tall buildings in the distance, but she didn't see anyone watching her.
"What's going on? I clearly felt someone watching me just now. Was it just my imagination?"
"Lin Yue, what's wrong?" Li Yuetian stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, let's go in." Lin Yue shook her head. No matter what, it's better to be cautious.
She forgot about Li Yuetian for a moment, and the four of them entered the mall together!
Tang Wenwen was overjoyed and could hardly contain her excitement. She was astonished by the sheer scale of the shopping malls in Z City; compared to them, the malls in her hometown of C City seemed insignificant. What was most unique was that Z City's shopping plaza even boasted a mouthwatering food street outside, something C City lacked.
"Yueyue, come and see this dress!" Tang Wenwen exclaimed excitedly, just like an innocent child. She clutched a beautiful dress tightly in her hands, eagerly holding it up in front of Lin Yue. "Wow, it's so beautiful! Darling, you should try it on!"
"This skirt... is way too short!" Lin Yue stared wide-eyed at the short skirt in her hand, her face full of surprise, muttering to herself.
Tang Wenwen, standing to the side, didn't seem to care. She said with a grin, "Oh, it's okay. Just think of it as helping me try it on and see how it looks." Hearing this, Lin Yue still felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't refuse her sister's request, so she could only nod helplessly, turn around, and walk into the fitting room.
Time passed slowly, and soon the fitting room door opened. Lin Yue, wearing the short skirt, looked as if she had stepped out of a painting—fresh, ethereal, and breathtakingly beautiful. The figure reflected in the mirror was like a celestial being descended to earth, her long, slender, and fair legs particularly striking.
However, Lin Yue herself was not satisfied with the short skirt. She frowned and complained, "This skirt is too short. It's so embarrassing to wear it!"
Li Yuetian was completely captivated by Lin Yue's beauty, and he was stunned. He stared intently at Lin Yue's alluring legs, unable to look away for a long time.
Just then, Lu Chen suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, Li Yuetian, why are you bleeding from your nose!" This shout broke the brief silence of the scene.
Two bright red lines of blood were visible below Li Yuetian's nose, making him look extremely disheveled. He was stunned at first, then realized what had happened and felt incredibly embarrassed.
Lu Chen hurriedly handed over a tissue, anxiously urging, "Hurry up and wipe yourself!"
Lin Yue also stepped forward with concern and asked, "Are you alright, Li Yuetian? Did you get a nosebleed?" Why did you suddenly have a nosebleed?
Faced with everyone's concern, Li Yuetian felt even more embarrassed. His face turned red, and he stammered, "Sigh, I've been eating too much hot pot lately and it's made me feel hot..." As he spoke, he quickly took a tissue and frantically wiped away the blood that kept flowing from his nose.
Tang Wenwen and Lu Chen exchanged a glance and then smiled knowingly at each other. It was rare to see Li Yuetian being funny. Seeing that Li Yuetian had returned to normal, Lin Yue quickly turned and went into the fitting room to change back into her original clothes. She found the short skirt extremely uncomfortable.
Not far from the clothing store, a man who looked like an ordinary passerby was standing there. Although his gaze seemed to be casually looking in other directions, as if he was just leisurely strolling around, in reality, a small pinhole camera hidden on his chest was working silently, recording everything that happened inside the clothing store.
Meanwhile, inside the building, Qin was staring intently at his phone screen. His expression grew increasingly grim, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
She gritted her teeth and cursed, "That shameless slut, she dares to wear such a short skirt at such a young age! I can smell her slutty odor even through the phone screen! And look at the guy next to her, he looks like he's been seduced and is completely out of his mind! Humph, how can such a cheap and slutty woman be worthy of Ye Chen?"
Indeed, jealousy can completely change a person.
When she saw Lin Yue and the other three enter a haunted house, she was delighted. It was a branch of her family's escape room business, and a plan quietly began to form in her mind.
She immediately made a phone call…
