Chapter 157
Yin Zijin's eyes were slightly red, with tears welling up in them. He rubbed the corners of his eyes with his hands, as if trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, but he failed, and the tears slid down his cheeks.
He widened his eyes, his washed eyes revealing stubbornness and unyieldingness. He stared straight at Sheng Yiming and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Peng, you dare to threaten me! We have been good friends for many years. Are we really going to become enemies because of this matter?"
Zhang Peng stretched out his hand and gently wiped the crystal tears from Yin Zijin's smooth and tender cheeks. His eyes were full of pampering and tenderness. He said slowly in a slightly hoarse but affectionate voice: "You have to remember that you are a man. How can you cry like a girl?"
Then, his gaze moved from Yin Zijin's face to his body, looking at him carefully. He found that his movements and expressions were all gentle and elegant, which was unique to women, which made him feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Then, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and he said softly: "However, your behavior makes people feel that there is a different kind of charm, and even I can't help but feel my heart beating fast." After saying this, there was a glimmer of dark and cunning light in Zhang Peng's eyes.
Yin Zijin looked at Zhang Peng's eyes, which looked like he wanted to tear her apart and eat her. The obscene look made Yin Zijin's scalp numb, and she couldn't help feeling disgusted. He felt very uncomfortable and even a little nauseous, so when Zhang Peng wasn't paying attention, he slapped him hard. The slap was so loud and powerful that Zhang Peng's cheeks turned red in an instant.
Yin Zijin said angrily: "Take away that look in your eyes. Even if it means we will die together, I will not be with you. Even if the relationship between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ends in vain, I will not be with you.
And don’t use that matter to threaten me. Even if you kill me, I won’t be with you…”
Sheng Yixuan, who was standing outside, heard a fierce quarrel coming from inside the house. His heart tightened and he hurried in. When he saw the tense confrontation between Yin Zijin and Sheng Yiming, his face suddenly turned gloomy and he shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing here? Let go of your hands! Don't you know what kind of occasion this is? What on earth do you want to do to the Sixth Miss?"
Sheng Yiming was still somewhat afraid of the prince, so when he saw him getting angry, he quickly stepped back and explained with a smile, "Brother, don't be angry. I was just joking with the Sixth Miss. I had no ill intentions. Please don't blame me."
Sheng Yixuan glanced at Yin Zijin, and immediately stepped forward to protect him behind him, then turned around and sternly reprimanded Sheng Yiming: "Even if you are joking, you should be sensible! She is an innocent girl, how can you treat her like this? Don't you care about her reputation and integrity? Get out now!"
Sheng Yiming felt that he had lost face and was very upset, but he did not dare to openly disobey the prince's order, so he could only turn around and leave in disgrace.
However, just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, pointed his finger at Yin Zijin, and said viciously: "Huh, what kind of girl is he? No wonder brother likes him. Brother, I forgot that you are a homosexual!" After that, he strode out of the room without looking back.
…
After Sheng Yiming left, Sheng Yixuan quickly covered Yin Zijin with a thin blanket and wiped her tears. Looking at Yin Zijin's red wrist, he couldn't help but asked with some heartache: "Does it hurt, Zijin? How did he know?"
Yin Zijin shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt. We have known each other for a long time, and he knew my identity for a long time. He was threatening me just now. But it doesn't matter..."
Sheng Yixuan quickly asked: "Do you need my help?"
Yin Zijin thought for a moment and said, "How can you help with this kind of thing? Just let it go! After all, Sheng Yiming is your brother, what can you do to him?"
As the two were talking, they heard light footsteps outside, and then a woman in a light pink dress walked in.
The girl slowly walked to the center of the room, then fell to her knees with a plop, her hands on the ground, and said in a delicate voice with a hint of sob: "Thank you for saving my life, sir! I am willing to give myself to you to repay you for saving my life." Her slightly trembling shoulders and whimpering voice made people feel pity.
Sheng Yixuan did not help the woman, but said lightly: "Get up! Saving you is just a piece of cake, you don't have to give yourself to me, and besides, I already have someone I like." After saying that, Sheng Yixuan looked at Yin Zijin with tenderness in his eyes.
The slap marks on the woman's face were very obvious, and they were all red. Even her cheeks were swollen. Combined with her already petite body, she looked even more pitiful.
Yin Zijin saw this and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart. She said softly, "Okay, stop crying. I understand your difficulties. If you weren't forced into a desperate situation, why would you show up here and sing and laugh? Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
After hearing what Yin Zijin said, the woman cried even more miserably and kowtowed repeatedly to thank him: "Thank you, my lord. After what happened today, I'm afraid I have no place to stay here.
If it weren't for the girl's kindness and pity for me, and her willingness to take me in, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. I have no choice but to perform to earn money for my seriously ill old mother. ”
Yin Zijin looked at the poor woman in front of him and couldn't help feeling sympathy. She reached out her hand to help the woman up, and gently comforted her, "Okay, don't be sad. In this case, you should follow me from now on.
It just so happens that my personal maid has left for something, and now I’m in need of someone to serve me. From today on, you will stay with me and be my personal maid. You can also receive a monthly allowance that can be used to take care of your mother. ”
When the woman heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much for your kindness, young lady. I will do my best to serve you and will never let you down." As she spoke, she kowtowed to Yin Zijin again to express her loyalty and gratitude.
Yin Zijin said: "Okay, get up quickly! It's winter and the ground is cold."
The woman stood up and then looked down at Yin Zijin who was lying on the low couch. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she couldn't help but think: "This is a real lady from a noble family, but she looks so frail as if she has some kind of deficiency. Her sickly face makes people feel distressed, but it can't hide her stunning beauty.
But shouldn’t ladies from wealthy families, especially those who are not married, be kept in the boudoir? Why would he show up in such a crowded restaurant?
But only a woman like this is worthy of the young man who just saved her. ”
