Chapter 68: Chapter 67: The Pig Woman Who Bares Her Fangs and Claws_1 Chapter 68: Chapter 67: The Pig Woman Who Bares Her Fangs and Claws_1 “Wow, things seem quite lively here.” As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she made her presence known before even appearing. Everyone turned towards the sound, seeing a lean figure leaning by the doorway, her eyes mischievous and a smirk on her face. As for the doctor who had run off to make a report, he had taken cover not far behind Mu Lin, standing mutely and observing the scene inside the room.
As expected, calling in Doctor Mu was the right choice. However, Zhou Jiansheng and Mei Qingyuan didn’t seem to agree.
“Girl, why are you here?” He shot a glance at Mu Lin, signaling her to take her leave quickly to avoid getting involved in this mess. Unfortunately, Mu Lin didn’t seem to notice, after all, she was here specifically for this event.
If others are protecting her, she certainly can’t let those doing the protecting be bullied; even though she doesn’t really believe Zhou Jiansheng and the others would go that far– but what if they did?
Those who protect her, how could she not protect them in return!
“Elder Zhou, Elder Mei.” Mu Lin walked unhurriedly towards the two elders whose faces showed a hint of worry, the smile on her lips gentle but sincere.
“You troublemaker.” Knowing that Mu Lin wouldn’t voluntarily leave today, Mei Qingyuan rolled his eyes at her without hesitation. Mu Lin chuckled softly, with a hint of grievance, “It’s been a long time, Elder Mei. Are you not welcoming me?”
Mei Qingyuan replied with a helpless smile, “I wouldn’t dare.” He would prefer to see Mu Lin daily, to converse and learn from her. Unfortunately, “why would you rather live in a hotel than stay at my house?” He had a love-hate relationship with her.
“Hey, hey, old man, step aside. If she stays anywhere, Mu Lin will definitely be staying at the Zhou residence first. Go back where you came from and stop trying to stir things up,” Zhou Jiansheng looked disdainfully at Mei Qingyuan, their exchange causing an atmosphere that allowed no others to interject.
Even so, Zhou Jiansheng sighed internally. It looked like Mu Lin was planning on handling today’s matter by herself.
Mu Lin deliberately mentioned her name earlier. He was no fool; he wasn’t oblivious to what was going on.
Seeing this, Mu Lin’s smile deepened.
Sure enough, after Mu Lin introduced herself, the members of the Li family quickly focused on her, “You’re Mu Lin?” The mother of Li asked without hesitation, “You’re the one who made my son look like this, today, you have to give me an explanation!”
In the eyes of Li’s mother, Mu Lin was akin to a seductive demoness. She now viewed Mu Lin with even more disdain, hoping to punish her accordingly.
Unfortunately, Mu Lin wasn’t going to stand by and be bullied.
“Explanation.” With a subtle lift of her eyes, Mu Lin cast a fleeting glance at the woman, who resembled a big bad wolf, huffing and puffing at the side, smirking at her appearance. “Oh, so that’s why your son turned out like a swine.”
“Ma’am.” Except for her cold voice, Mu Lin still appeared quite polite, her smile never leaving her face, her eyes, however, told a different story, “I’d like to ask, what gives you the right to demand an explanation from me?” Mu Lin retorted before the woman could respond, “If I’m not mistaken, shouldn’t your son be the one giving me an explanation? He trespassed on my territory, disrupted the peace, assaulted my nurse, almost disfiguring her (even though it was just a small swelling). Don’t you know that for girls, their face is their whole life’s luck?”
“After your son hit her, aren’t you aware of how much luck she’s potentially lost? Can you afford to compensate that?” Mu Lin was becoming increasingly eloquent, leaving the woman speechless.
Clearly, her son had already paid them, but in Mu Lin’s eyes, that 80,000 yuan was nothing.
Scowling, Mu Lin glanced at her, “Looking at you, it seems like you can’t grasp that.” The words had Li’s mother so enraged she almost spat blood. Wasn’t this just outright calling her ugly?
But comparing her face to Mu Lin’s, which was virtually perfect, she found herself speechless. Even the fierceness she exhibited during spats with Mr. Li seemed to lose its potency under the indifferent gaze of Mu Lin.
“Hehehe…” After a slight pause, a chuckle sounded from nearby. Mu Lin turned her gaze towards the source.
At the corner of his mouth hung a gentle smile, and his murky eyes twinkled at her, “So you are Doctor Mu.” It wasn’t a question, but an affirmation.
