As she spoke, Lin Kerou’s eyes reddened.
Her expression was as though Li Beinian had committed some sort of heinous crime.
Instinctively, Li Beinian took a few steps backward so that she was standing in a more eye-catching spot.
Otherwise, if Lin Kerou became aggressive or did something to frame her, there was no way she could protect herself.
When Lin Kerou noticed that Li Beinian had become cautious, she looked even more upset and emotional. She said, “Brother Donglin has been feeling upset these days.
“In the initial days following the calling off of your engagement, he shut himself in his villa drinking every day. If it weren’t for my brother and I watching over him, perhaps he’d have ended up in the hospital.”
She started to choke as she said this. “He loves you so much, how could you bear to leave him?”
Li Beinian started laughing when she heard this.
She eyed the delicate Lin Kerou and went straight to the point. “What exactly is it you want?”
Lin Kerou looked up at Li Beinian with a hurt expression and said hesitatingly, “I only… don’t wish to see Brother Donglin unhappy.”
“Oh? And so what?”
Her cold attitude made it difficult for Lin Kerou to keep up with the acting. The girl started to cry as she said, “Nian Nian, do you have to talk to me this way?”
Li Beinian found herself losing patience as she looked at the sobbing girl coldly. She asked, “What are you crying for, did I do anything to you?”
Lin Kerou shook her head and replied, “I’m only… feeling bad for Brother Donglin, and it makes me sad…”
“And what has that got to do with me?” Li Beinian had reached the end of her patience. “Miss Lin, you’ve got the wrong person. If you’re just here to show off the close relationship you share with Mu Donglin, then let me tell you this. It’s useless telling me these things. Since I’ve called off the engagement, it shows that I have no more feelings for him.”
Now that Lin Kerou got the answer that she was after, she felt as though a big burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She was finally relieved.
“So, what’s your relationship with Mu Xichen now?” she asked further, raising her head delicately. “This means that you broke up with Brother Donglin because you wanted to be with Chief Mu, is that right?”
Li Beinian eyed her frostily and said, “What business is it of yours?”
What has that got to do with me? What business if it of yours?
They were such rude replies, but Lin Kerou relished in them.
Her expression turned to one of sympathy as she said, “Mu Xichen is a very selfish man… I’m quite sure that he’s with you only to antagonize Brother Donglin. Perhaps now he finds you a novelty, but how long will it last…”
It was the last straw as a dark storm brewed in Li Beinian’s eyes. As she was about to lose her temper, she saw Lin Kerou averting her gaze to look past her.
“Miss Li.” A mature and resonant voice called out behind her. With a flirtatious lilt and smile, the man continued, “I’ve been looking for you. Oh, isn’t this Eldest Young Master Mu’s partner?”
Shi Yishen walked up to them. Noticing Lin Kerou’s tear-stained face, he said in surprise, “Why are you crying? You…”
The girl quickly dried her eyes. As though in a panic and afraid to offend him, she glanced at Shi Yishen briefly and said, “It’s nothing. I’ll… I’ll take my leave now…”
That was unmistakably a look of unspoken anger.
Li Beinian laughed out of annoyance and stared after the girl’s disappearing back view, cursing under her breath. “Bloody imbecile!”
On hearing this, Shi Yishen laughed and turned to her in amusement. “Miss Li is indeed quite interesting.”
