Wei Cheng put down his coffee cup, a smile on his face, and said, "I heard something interesting. It's said that you're jealous that Miss Ye isn't a member of the Ye family, but she's doing better than you, so you're spreading all sorts of bad things about Miss Ye everywhere."
Lin Lan's pupils contracted slightly. How did he know that she was the one who spread it outside?
The problem is, given Ye Ling's terrible temper, even if she doesn't spread it, the rumors will still spread.
Wei Cheng continued, "But how do you know Miss Ye isn't a child of the Ye family? The Ye family doesn't seem to have publicly stated that Miss Ye is adopted. Only our circle knows that she is the Ye family's illegitimate daughter, not adopted."
"Heh~"
Lin Lan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Wei Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Is your reaction telling me that I misspoke?"
Lin Lan: "Of course you're wrong. An illegitimate daughter? You believe that?"
Wei Cheng gestured for her to continue.
Lin Lan thought that since the other party wanted to know about Ye Ling, if she told her, it might improve their rapport.
But she didn't immediately speak of the hunger rumbling in her stomach; instead, she clutched her stomach and looked at Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng chuckled: "Negotiate? You're not qualified. If the information you provide is valuable, I might give you some food."
Lin Lan cursed in her heart again before speaking: "I overheard the Ye brothers saying that Ye Ling is the granddaughter of their grandfather's old comrade-in-arms, and that she was brought back because of their good relationship."
Besides, I heard she's not doing well at all, and she's not a proper young lady at all. If she were an illegitimate daughter of the Ye family, I wouldn't be jealous. At least the Ye family has a certain status, so even if she were an illegitimate daughter, she would still be a legitimate young lady.
"Some old man who appeared out of nowhere put Ye Ling in the Ye family and raised her like a young lady. Does she even deserve that?"
Lin Lan became more and more agitated as she spoke, completely unaware that the man opposite her was developing a terrifying look in his eyes, and even the expression on his face was frighteningly dark.
He said coldly, "Overheard by accident? Such important information, they would discuss it in a place where outsiders could hear? The Ye family has so many servants, would they allow an outsider to run around the Ye family?"
Upon hearing the other party's tone, Lin Lan quickly explained, "I heard this news when I was fleeing after the apocalypse in my previous life. I was resting with them in a shelter once, and I overheard it by accident. It's true, I'm not lying to Young Master Wei."
Wei Cheng got up and came to her. After putting on the disposable gloves given to him by the servant, he grabbed Lin Lan's hair and forced her to look up at him.
Lin Lan felt pain, but she was even more afraid.
The large hand that grabbed her hair tightened slightly, and Lin Lan cried out in pain.
Wei Cheng waited until Lin Lan was in so much pain she almost screamed before he slowly spoke: "I don't want to hear those words from anyone else."
He flung her away, throwing a clump of hair he'd pulled off at her, and said to the servants, "Pull out her tongue and send her to Wei Liu. Tell her that this person can be abused at will, but she can't die."
"yes."
"No, no!"
Lin Lan was terrified. She scrambled to her feet and tried to grab Wei Cheng's leg, but was pulled back by the servants. She begged for mercy frantically.
"Young Master Wei, I was wrong. I will be obedient from now on. I will never mention anything about Ye Ling to anyone again. I promise, I swear to God, if I can't keep my word, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
A warm flow slowly gushed out from her lower body; she was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Wei Cheng's eyes, but he held back: "Later, you'll understand why I'm taking special care of you."
You should be glad you met Miss Ye first, instead of me. Don't worry, even if I send you to hell, I won't let you go alone.
The servants covered Lin Lan's mouth and carried her away, while the others quickly cleaned up the stains.
