Liu Lin's fighting ability far exceeded Lu An Ning's imagination. After an unknown amount of time, the hysterical crying in the room turned into a whimpering sound like a kitten, and then gradually died down.
The door opened and Liu Lin walked out while wiping her hands with disinfectant wipes, without even a hair out of place.
Lu An Ning glanced inside and saw Lu Yunxi slumped on the bed with messy hair. She hadn't moved for a long time, and her exposed skin was covered with pinch marks and scratches left by Liu Lin.
The store manager was startled and quickly took the staff in to check. Lu Yunxi groaned and was barely helped up by two staff members and leaned against the wall. He stared at Liu Lin with a vicious look, but Liu Lin ignored him.
She pointed a trembling hand at Liu Lin: "You dare to hit me!"
Liu Lin smiled contemptuously: "Do I need to choose a day to beat you? Gu Yao, look carefully, I beat you today with my own hands, just tell the Gu family and ask your brother to come and settle the score with me. I won't be like you Gu family, plotting against people behind their backs."
Lu Yunxi endured the severe pain and her face turned ashen with anger.
"Liu Lin, remember this. As long as I am in the Gu family, you will never be able to marry my second brother in this life."
Gu Yao is now the darling of the Gu family. Liu Lin's actions are undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Gu family. Lu Anning frowned as he watched all this. Could it be that Liu Lin really didn't care about her relationship with Gu Yu?
Everyone thought that Liu Lin would be at least a little panicked, but her eyes were firm and she showed no fear at all.
"What happened between Gu Yu and me has never been something that can be influenced by a few words from outsiders. Do you think I'm afraid? It's my bad luck to have a sister-in-law like you. Gu Yao, I'm warning you, if you dare to instigate others to touch my people again, I have ten thousand ways to make you live a life worse than death. If you don't believe me, just try it."
There was a familiar ruthlessness in Liu Lin's eyes, which made Lu An Ning take a few more glances.
This way, he was somewhat similar to her. When Liu Lin turned around, Lu An Ning hadn't had time to suppress the corners of his mouth that were raised. Being looked at by her, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Liu Lin walked towards her step by step with a slight smile on her lips. Lu An Ning stopped pretending and smiled generously.
Just for this scene, Lu Anning wanted to make friends with her, not just for business cooperation.
"Mr. Lu, skin care, would you like to join us? I think we can talk about it."
Lu Anning glanced at Lu Yunxi, who was unable to move in the room, and readily agreed: "Then I'll ask the manager to change to the largest VIP room. Please!"
The two of them seemed to hit it off immediately, and Tang Ran followed them to the large room upstairs. The store manager, not wanting to offend anyone, was about to call an ambulance for Lu Yunxi, but she refused.
Lu Yunxi watched them disappear from her sight with resentment, gritted her teeth and dialed the phone, but before she could even open her mouth, she started crying.
"Mom, it hurts so much, will I die..."
Ji Yan panicked and didn't dare to hang up the phone. She hurried to where Lu Yunxi was.
Who is so bold as to touch the most beloved daughter of the Gu family? It seems that she is tired of staying in Kyoto.
Upstairs, Lu An Ning and Liu Lin sat opposite each other. The aroma of tea filled the air as their teacups clinked gently. The two women smiled knowingly. Tang Ran sat obediently beside them, looking confused.
Lu Anning put down the teacup, surprised that Liu Lin would publicly teach Lu Yunxi a lesson.
"Aren't you afraid that the Gu family will cause trouble for you if you do this? I heard that you and Dr. Gu are already planning to get married. She is Gu Yu's only sister."
Liu Lin smiled bitterly: "Tolerating for a moment will mean to endure for a lifetime. What others see as beautiful may not necessarily be perfect. Mr. Lu must know this! Madam Gu has always looked down on my family background, and now, there are even more contradictions."
Lu Anning smiled mysteriously: "It seems that Professor Liu has made a decision."
"We can negotiate the conditions, but I must at least have the right to decide my own experimental projects. This is my biggest concession. However, Mr. Lu, have you decided to go against the Gu family? I know you and Gu Yao don't get along."
Although Liu Lin didn't understand what the problem was between the two of them, in her opinion, the enemy of my enemy could become my friend.
"It's settled! After the New Year, you'll bring your team here. I'll give you the best treatment and all the rights you deserve. Professor Liu, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"
It wasn't really about going against the Gu family; at most, it was just normal business competition. If she was afraid, she wouldn't have come to Kyoto with Tang Jingyuan to start all over again.
"The word 'fear' doesn't even exist in my dictionary."
The three of them chatted for a long time upstairs. After they opened up, Lu Anning discovered that Liu Lin's personality had many similarities with his own. When mentioning Xiao Han, Liu Lin actually said that she and Xiao Han were more like equal friends in private.
However, she never said that her relationship with Xiao Han would only be friends.
"I used to think that Gu Yu and I were the perfect match. However, he was used to having those around him obey his orders, and I kept giving in. I even humbled myself in front of the Gu family for him, yet I was still criticized and looked down upon by his family. I disdain marrying into a wealthy family, and if he asked me to give up my career for him, I wouldn't agree."
"Marrying into a wealthy family may not be the best choice. You have the ability and can definitely make a name for yourself."
Even if there was no Gu family, Lu Anning felt that people like Liu Lin could still shine.
"For the past few years, I've been living in Gu Yu's shadow. Others always like to say that I'm on par with the most proud disciple of the National Medical Master. In fact, what I hate most is being on par with Gu Yu."
Everyone has their own expertise. Liu Lin is better at research and experiments, while Gu Yu is good at clinical practice. They often quarrel because of their different opinions. Now that they think about it carefully, the relationship that seems beautiful in the eyes of others seems to have been riddled with holes.
Liu Lin seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't know if I'm too sensitive, but I feel that Gu Yao is too close to Gu Yu. If she wasn't Gu Yu's biological sister, I would have suspected that she was deliberately trying to destroy the relationship between him and me."
Lu Anning frowned and fell into deep thought. Lu Yunxi was probably trying to win people's hearts and secure the most important position in their hearts, fearing that she would be replaced by Liu Lin.
Tang Ran exclaimed, "No way! Is this so twisted? Didn't she just get brought back by the Gu family? She shouldn't have any feelings for them."
Liu Lin nodded. She thought so too, which was why she was puzzled. She didn't like Lu Yunxi. Lu Yunxi was always clinging to Gu Yu and deliberately trying to annoy Liu Lin. She had been unhappy for a long time, and today was her chance to settle all the old and new grudges.
The three were chatting enthusiastically when they were interrupted by a sudden phone ring. Liu Lin glanced at the name on the screen and picked up the phone with a sneer.
As soon as the call was connected, Gu Yu's angry voice came from the phone: "Liu Lin, are you crazy? How dare you hit Yaoyao! Come to the hospital immediately and admit your mistake to Yaoyao and apologize, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
