The Taming of the Ruffian Hero-Chapter 176 (A Cold Light Flashing) A Slight Error in Thought Almost Leads to Disaster

Chen Wanxin felt it was ridiculous. The person she had wracked her brains to deal with was actually her younger brother! Moreover, this brother had not only taken her boyfriend away but would also take her place in the family. Having thought of these, she gritted her teeth and hated him to the core. How could she even squeeze the trace of a smile for Lin Wenxi.

Had Mo Qian and Luo Yang not gotten a strict order not to harm Lin Wenxi so that they did not dare follow her instruction, Chen Wanxin would have killed Lin Wenxi when he was still in the hospital. Chen Wanxin had always believed that she was not cold-blooded enough to end a person’s life, but recently, she found herself so sober-minded that she could even plan something that she had never dared to think before.

“It is said that you had a terrible argument with him. Who were you fighting about? I think it must have been Zhao Yuan. Aside from those stupid and sweet girls from Jifu University, who will support you? Zhao Yuan seemed to have attended Lin Ziwei’s funeral on your behalf. Since you two have eloped, how could he do that?”

Chen Wanxin had asked Lin Wenxi to meet her at the cafe. As she talked about this, she laughed. Lin Wenxi walked quietly, and then entered the cafe from the side door.

“Lin Ziwei is not my father. I was brought up by my mother and Uncle Hong Xuan.” Lin Wenxi answered in a low voice.

“Are you saying that you’ll be loyal to me? Are you sad? How did it feel when you were almost beaten to death and abandoned by your mother? Did you join our family because you had no other choice? Or is there something up? Listen! The Chens are different from the Lins, and nobody will take you as a member of our family! If you want to stay here, you’d better be humble and never try to make trouble! If you find a job after graduation, we’ll be fine! If you dare to get your hands on our family’s businesses or contact Zhao Yuan again, I won’t let you go!” Chen Wanxin threatened viciously.

“Wanxin, we aren’t at war yet, but you have already lost. You’ve spent a lot of effort on A Yuan, but the number of times I made love with him is more than the number of times you held his hand. In this respect, you have completely lost. Now, what are you worrying about? Are you afraid that I will take your place in the family, or you are afraid that I’ll inherit our father’s fortune?” Lin Wenxi sneered, grabbing his trouser pocket.

“Your surname is Lin! You don’t deserve to call my father dad! You’re just a bastard of your lascivious mother and my father!”

Lin Wenxi clenched his fist firmly. He stared at Chen Wanxin and said, “Wanxin, don’t go too far!”

“Lin Wenxi, I saw the photos of your father taken after his death. His mouth, eyes, and ears were full of mud. He swallowed a lot of mud before his death. It is said that drowning is the most painful way to die. I wonder what it felt like for a person in darkness to only inhale mud when he tried to breathe, and could only swallow mud when he opened his mouth. Do you think he thought of you when he was dying?” Chen Wanxin laughed loudly, covering her mouth with her hand. Looking at Lin Wenxi’s face that was pale after a serious illness, she became even more triumphant.

Lin Wenxi pinched the dagger in his trouser pocket.

He had brought the dagger for self-defense after coming to the Chens, but he had not thought it would be used at this moment. If he killed the woman, he would be sentenced to death. Then, the Chens would become extinct. Making their family extinct could also be a means of revenge!

Thinking of this, Lin Wenxi stopped hesitating. With a cold light flashing, he raised his dagger and thrust it straight toward Chen Wanxin’s neck.

It was too late when Chen Wanxin saw the dagger and wanted to dodge. However, someone grabbed the dagger firmly, causing the person’s palm to get cut and begin to bleed.

It was Zheng Kai.

Chen Wanxin’s face turned pale with fear, but she also felt a little sad.

After returning home from university, Chen Wanxin was arranged to stay at a place in the countryside where she used to live. She did not do anything but wait for the notice that she should go abroad. When she saw the news about Lin Wenxi in the newspaper, she was overwhelmed with excitement. Several days ago, she had already seen some clarifications. Chen Wanxin could easily tell that some people at Jifu University had done many things to prepare the videos, pictures, and the texts of the news. Furthermore, Zhao Yuan would rather say that Shu Xiaoman was his girlfriend and did not even mention her name. What made her even angrier was seeing videos of Dongchuan’s interview. Zheng Kai was the one who had traveled thousands of miles for the completion of the interview videos.

Zheng Kai did not seem to know that Wang Xiang had a crush on him, and he even ignored the fact that Gu Xi had loved him for eight years. He even disagreed with what his father had done after his death. Why he was warm-hearted enough to help Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi?

Chen Wanxin could not understand it. Everyone seemed to be helping Lin Wenxi. Even that bitch, Zhang An’an, who had never taken sides, did not care if the scandal about her conceiving Wang Xiang’s child would come to light while defending Lin Wenxi in the media.

However, whenever she was at home, she always saw a man looking up at her window from the other side of the street. She knew it was Zheng Kai.

She did not know why Zheng Kai came to Yangzi County and asked about her whereabouts. He walked around under her apartment every day, but Chen Wanxin had never walked downstairs to meet him. She hated this man extremely. She did not understand why he knew what she disliked but still did not do anything for her. Not only did he not regard Lin Wenxi as an enemy, he even took good care of him.

But it was also this man who had grabbed the dagger with bare hands and saved her life. As of now, he had helped her three times.

“I know you can send this bastard flying with a kick. Why were you so silly as to get yourself injured?” It pained Chen Wanxin to see Zheng Kai get hurt, but she felt anger more. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

“I don’t want to hurt him.” Zheng Kai looked at Lin Wenxi, emotionlessly. “Wenxi, I don’t want you to hurt Wanxin either.”

“Zheng Kai, let go of my dagger!” Lin Wenxi shouted angrily.

“Wenxi, both your dad and my dad have passed away. I didn’t like my dad before, but I know that I will never see him again in my life, even when I am old or dead. I know how you feel! You told me to take care of myself first before helping others. I also hope that you can think of yourself before doing anything,” Zheng Kai said, looking at Lin Wenxi with concern.

Ever since he had returned to the Chens, nobody had been this frank with Lin Wenxi. He could not help but burst into tears. He stopped thrusting the dagger and his hand loosened feebly. Taking Zheng Kai’s bleeding hand in his, he was both angry and regretful. He began to tremble with inner pain.

“Zheng Kai! You... How could you say that to him?” Chen Wanxin was so angry that she almost cried. “If you help me kill him, I’ll... I’ll marry you!”

“Wanxin, what are you talking about? I will marry you only if you are truly willing to marry me. Otherwise, I’d like you to marry another man happily.” Zheng Kai smiled slightly.

“Zheng Kai, I’ll never love a dumbhead like you! If you help Lin Wenxi, you’ll be my enemy!” With that, Chen Wanxin left both angry and shaken.

“Wenxi, don’t be that stupid anymore. If you send the Chens to jail one day, I’ll wait for Wanxin’s release without blaming you.” Zheng Kai held Lin Wenxi’s hand tightly. 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

“Brother Kai, why did you fall in love with such a woman? You deserve the best woman in the world. Why?” Lin Wenxi could not help but hold Zheng Kai, crying. All the grief, pain, and fear he had suffered in the past few days burst out that moment. Now, the man who was by his side was Zheng Kai, whom he regarded as his elder brother, and not his beloved.

“How is Zhao Yuan now?” Whenever he thought about how awkward Zhao Yuan must have been after he took away his clothes, money and cell phone, Lin Wenxi could not help but laugh bitterly. He knew that Zhao Yuan had attended the funeral of his father on his behalf. Now, every word he had said to his father gave him bitter pain and remorse.
