Zhou Chenyang never gave Lin Xiuyan a kind look, only showing her a little gentler when he borrowed money from her.
This IOU was left by Zhou Chenyang when he borrowed money from Lin Xiuyan for the seventh time.
The IOU was certainly not left by Zhou Chenyang voluntarily.
Lin Xiuyan gave all the pocket money she had saved over the years to Zhou Chenyang, but it still wasn't enough, so she pawned her jewelry to give to Zhou Chenyang.
After being caught red-handed by his mother, Qu Shuangyue, Zhou Chenyang was forced to write the IOU.
Looking at Zhou Chenyang's face, Lin Xiuyan felt that she must have been bewitched by him in her past life to do such stupid things one after another.
She asked happily, "Are you going to return my money?"
Zhou Chenyang frowned, and Lin Xiuyan stuffed the IOU into his hand: "Just send someone to deliver the money back to my house."
"The original copy of the IOU is with my mother. When she comes back, I'll have her return it to you."
Upon closer inspection, Zhou Chenyang realized that although the paper on it was exactly the same as the IOU he had written that day, it was not the one he had written.
He had heard that the Lin family had a printing technique that could perfectly replicate the marks on paper, and this was a replica.
He asked coldly, "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiuyan asked, puzzled, "I didn't mean anything by it. You were the one who said you would pay me back! Did you go back on your word?"
Zhou Chenyang glared at her coldly, and she seemed to back down immediately: "You... if you don't have the money, then don't pay it back for now. No one will say you're a freeloader."
Zhou Chenyang was furious and shouted, "You actually think I'm that kind of person?"
He turned and left after saying that.
Lin Xiuyan felt utterly contemptuous of him. Wasn't he that kind of person?
In his past life, he drained the Lin family of their blood, committed countless despicable acts, and killed everyone in the Lin family.
He never acknowledged any help from the Lin family, yet he always maintained his so-called refined image to the outside world.
But when she saw him walking towards the study, less than a quarter of an hour had passed.
She suppressed her nausea and cried out, "Brother Yang, I really didn't mean that!"
Zhou Chenyang didn't stop walking at all; as expected, his charm was still there. Lin Xiuyan got anxious as soon as she saw him get angry.
He was determined to let her know he was angry, so she would obediently return the IOU to him!
Lin Xiuyan knew from his posture that the more she coaxed him, the more enthusiastic he would become.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she shouted loudly through her megaphone, "Brother Yang, I'll return the IOU to you right now!"
"You are the lord of a city. No matter how rich my family is, I don't believe you're a gold digger!"
After she finished speaking, she took off running outside, seemingly heading home to retrieve the master copy of the IOU.
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
Zhou Chenyang: "!!!!!!!"
That stupid woman!
She shouted so loudly and ran outside like that, how could he possibly save face?
He called out, "Lin Xiuyan!"
She acted as if she hadn't heard, and ran outside as fast as she could.
Zhou Chenyang used to think that Lin Xiuyan was devoted to him, so he could easily control her.
But now, her devotion to him seems to have the opposite effect.
Zhou Chenyang turned around and chased after her, shouting as he did so, "Stop her!"
Lin Xiuyan was not about to be stopped by the guards. She nimbly avoided them and hurriedly ran outside.
In no time, more and more people came to stop Lin Xiuyan, and the entire city lord's mansion was in chaos.
Just as Lin Xiuyan was about to be stopped by the guards, thick smoke suddenly billowed from the direction of the study.
Upon seeing this, she cursed, "You said you were just stealing the Blood Jade Grass, what's the meaning of Ye Junfei burning down Zhou Chenyang's study?"
When she asked this question in her heart, she already had the answer:
Ye Junfei is a perverted madman!
Given his personality, how could she expect him to obediently follow her instructions to steal the Blood Jade Grass and leave?
He's definitely going to pull off something big!
Lin Xiuyan has a headache!
If she leaves now, given Zhou Chenyang's suspicious nature, he will definitely suspect her, which will affect all her subsequent plans.
While she was mentally cursing Ye Junfei's ancestors for eighteen generations, she was also quickly thinking of a solution.
After thinking it over, she finally decided to run to Zhou Chenyang's side and ask, "Brother Yang, what's wrong?"
Zhou Chenyang was calling for help to put out the fire.
However, the fire in the study was clearly caused by more than ten fires starting at the same time, and the room was full of documents and files that were easily flammable, so putting out the fire would be no easy task!
Zhou Chenyang grabbed Lin Xiuyan by the collar and met her concerned gaze, which dispelled any doubts he had about her.
She's a fool, and she's completely devoted to him; there's no way she could have come up with such a meticulous plan.
There were extremely important things in the study, and he wasn't in the mood to argue with her. He roughly pushed her aside and yelled, "Get out!"
Lin Xiuyan had been waiting for him to say those words. She immediately got up from the ground, looking aggrieved, and gave him several hesitant glances.
She left without saying anything, turning back every few steps.
Zhou Chenyang was annoyed by her appearance and preoccupied with the things in the study, so he focused on putting out the fire.
Lin Xiuyan maintained her expression and left the city lord's mansion looking reluctant.
As soon as she went outside, she saw Ye Junfei leaning against a tree next to the city lord's mansion, watching the commotion.
At this moment, flames were raging in the city lord's mansion, and he was surrounded by onlookers, so he was not particularly conspicuous.
She glanced at him, but didn't join him. Instead, she headed straight for the Lin residence.
She thought to herself that he had probably already obtained the Blood Jade Grass, and that he should hurry back to his Pingnan Prince's Mansion. She didn't want to see him again!
If she continued to get entangled with him, it would definitely ruin her plans.
Ye Junfei raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw her.
The two had spent a few days together, and he had gotten to know her somewhat:
Is she angry because he burned down Zhou Chenyang's study?
She has quite a temper!
He could tell from her expression that she seemed to want to get rid of him.
Innocent!
Ye Junfei followed her about three zhang behind her, with one hand behind his back.
Lin Xiuyan glanced back, but there were too many people on the road, and someone happened to block Ye Junfei's view when she turned around.
She didn't see him, so she assumed he hadn't followed her, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.
As she reached the entrance of an alley, a hand reached out from inside and pulled her in.
As she was being pulled inside, a man's voice said urgently, "Lin Xiuyan, are you out of your mind?"
"I've told you so many times, Zhou Chenyang doesn't like you, he just wants your family's money, why won't you listen!"
Lin Xiuyan looked up and saw a handsome face.
This face is not as delicate and alluring as Ye Junfei's. It has long eyebrows that reach the temples, narrow eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very heroic facial contour.
In addition, his tall stature and upright posture exuded a strong masculine aura.
When Lin Xiuyan saw him, she was slightly dazed. Her nose tingled, her eyes reddened, and she reached out to hug him tightly.
