Since the Bai family was someone she couldn't afford to offend, what could she do but endure it? She clenched her fists secretly, took a few deep breaths, and then gave a polite smile.
As expected of someone who has worked as an actress, her facial expressions are perfectly controlled. Before, she was looking at Bai Ru'an when she spoke, but now she finally remembered that there was such a person as Lin Xiazhu.
"You're Bai Dashao's... relative, right?" Lin Meiyu didn't know about Bai Ruan and Lin Xiazhu's relationship, since they hadn't made it public.
I just heard Chen Zinan mention it, and at his urging, I came here specifically to find Cun Gan.
Lin Xiazhu didn't say anything. At first glance, Lin Meiyu seemed to be here to cause trouble for Xiao An, but after going through all this trouble, her target was actually her. Let's see how she performs.
Seeing that Lin Xiazhu was only looking at her with her dark almond-shaped eyes and had no intention of answering, Lin Meiyu frowned slightly, feeling displeased. However, remembering the purpose of her visit, she suppressed her temper again.
"I heard you're very strong, able to kill a wild boar with one punch?" Lin Meiyu said with a mocking smile.
But Lin Xiazhu didn't take the bait; she just looked at her calmly and didn't respond.
"Don't you have any manners? Why don't you respond when someone talks to you?" Lin Meiyu was getting impatient.
Bai Ruan's handsome face darkened. He couldn't stand hearing others criticize Lin Xiazhu. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Xiazhu grabbed his hand and gently squeezed his palm, signaling him not to rush.
"Miss Lin, since we're both surnamed Lin, I won't hold it against you. Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush." Lin Xiazhu smiled, but her eyes were frighteningly cold.
With Bai Ru'an watching her intently from the side, Lin Meiyu didn't dare to show too much emotion. She patiently said, "I know an underground boxing ring where you can get a lot of prize money for winning a fight. Do you dare to give it a try?"
Lin Xiazhu's eyes darkened further, but she still maintained a fake smile. "Besides telling you that I can kill a wild boar with one punch, Chen Zinan didn't tell you anything else?"
"What?" Lin Meiyu didn't react for a moment.
"It's raining so hard outside. If you go out and get soaked, you'll definitely catch a cold." Lin Xiazhu didn't answer her, but just turned her head and looked at the restaurant entrance with a cold smile.
"Don't change the subject. Do you want to go underground or not... Ah, what are you doing? Let go, I told you to let go." Lin Meiyu was only halfway through her sentence when Lin Xiazhu lifted her up with one hand, then quickly walked to the door and threw her out.
With a thud, Lin Meiyu sat down on the ground, instantly soaked to the bone. A few flashes of light went off in the distance, and her disheveled state was undoubtedly captured by paparazzi. Tomorrow's newspapers will probably feature news of her embarrassing moment.
Lin Meiyu fell to the ground, momentarily stunned, but the rain instantly brought her back to her senses. "Ah! You dared to throw me! You dared to lay a hand on me! I'll fight you to the death!"
Normally, Lin Meiyu would definitely have acted pitiful to gain the audience's sympathy, and then found someone to deal with Lin Xiazhu later. But at this moment, there were only a few viewers, and they still didn't seem interested in her. In addition, her buttocks were sore from the fall, and she was soaked to the bone in the rain. She had never been so humiliated before.
Not only was she humiliated, but she was also photographed by paparazzi. How could she ever face anyone again? What would her fans think of her? She was furious and didn't care about her status or manners anymore. All she wanted to do was tear Lin Xiazhu apart right now.
However, she couldn't even get close to Lin Xiazhu. Just as she stood up and tried to rush over to fight, Lin Xiazhu pushed her several meters away with one hand. She got up again and again, trying to rush forward, but was thrown far away each time.
In the end, Chen Zinan couldn't stand it anymore, so he got out of the car, grabbed Lin Meiyu, and carried her away. He was impeccably dressed, still holding an umbrella even at this moment, with an air of composure, holding the umbrella in one hand and carrying Lin Meiyu in the other as they got into the car.
"Didn't I tell you that woman is a country bumpkin, unreasonable, and prone to violence? You insisted on going over to talk to her, and ended up making such a mess of yourself." Chen Zinan shifted all the blame onto Lin Meiyu, as if he wasn't the one who initially encouraged her to cause trouble.
Lin Meiyu wasn't just all looks and no brains. When Chen Zinan was urging her to cause trouble for that woman, she wasn't unaware of it. The only reason she knew Chen Zinan was using her was because she still eagerly went to cause trouble.
It was because she was jealous of Lin Xiazhu and Bai Ruan's intimate behavior. Bai Ruan was the eldest young master of the Bai family, one of the most wealthy people in the entire capital. Apart from Bai Junbai, no one could compare to him. Countless noble ladies wanted to climb up to him, but he was cold and aloof and did not want to have much contact with women.
Some people have tried to ask him out alone, but they have never succeeded. Why should a woman from the countryside get all his attention? The two sat facing each other in the restaurant, and Bai Ru'an looked at him with unusual tenderness, with a gentle smile throughout.
When Chen Zinan went over to chat with them, she wanted to go with him, but he stopped her, saying that he should go over and say hello first because he and Bai Ruan were old friends and would share a table later.
"Share a table? That's a high-end restaurant. Who would do something as low-class as sharing a table?" But Chen Zinan could say that. Humph, everyone knows that he grew up in the countryside before he was seventeen. No matter how well he hides it on the surface, he can't change his rustic nature at heart.
If it weren't for the Chen family's good background, she wouldn't have dated him. Look at how she's gotten into this situation after less than half a month of dating.
She had lost her temper and wanted to see Lin Xiazhu make a fool of herself and take the opportunity to humiliate her. She didn't expect the other party to be so rude and throw her out directly.
"That woman's arm strength is so amazing, did she really kill a wild boar?" She hadn't really paid attention to Chen Zinan's words earlier, thinking he was exaggerating, but when Lin Xiazhu lifted her up with one hand, she realized she was just assuming things.
“Of course it’s true. She killed a wild boar weighing over 600 pounds with a single punch and then carried it back to the village. She was less than ten years old then. Now she’s probably even stronger and could probably kill a wild boar weighing 1,000 pounds with a single blow.” Chen Zinan said with a serious expression.
He didn't dare go with her earlier because he knew Lin Xiazhu was incredibly strong, and he was afraid that if she got angry, she would beat him up, which would be embarrassing, since he wouldn't be able to fight back at all.
"She also has a younger sister who is incredibly strong. I heard that she runs a large pig farm in her hometown. She holds down the pigs while her boyfriend slits their necks. The two of them can handle a pig weighing over 300 pounds."
Although he left Changhe County and hated it, he was still very concerned about the situation there because he felt uneasy and was always worried that someone would try to take advantage of him and then come to the capital to find him.
He wasn't afraid of people contacting him; he was afraid someone would expose his past and let the media know, which would make him lose face.
However, no matter how much he did, his past had already been spread. Everyone in the circle knew that he grew up in the countryside and that his mother's past infidelity caused him so much suffering.
