Jiang Xinrou smiled gently: "Cousin, you really know how to joke. An apology is fine as long as it's sincere."
Everyone chimed in, "That's right! Miss Jiang is so understanding."
"Miss Jiang is beautiful and intelligent. I wonder which lucky young man will be able to marry her in the future."
Lin Xiuyan turned to look at the crowd, whose eyes held a hint of arrogance, their chins slightly raised.
A smile curved her lips. Ignoring Yu Feiyan, she looked at the lady who had just stood up for Yu Feiyan and asked, "Are your parents still alive?"
The lady, not knowing why she asked that, replied, "They are all alive and well, of course."
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "Is that so? Then I wish them a violent death and ascension to heaven, while you lose your loved ones forever and suffer a fate worse than death every day."
The woman was furious and reached out to hit her: "How can you be so vicious? How could you say such a thing?"
Lin Xiuyan grabbed her hand and looked at her intently, saying, "Madam, hitting someone is wrong under any circumstances."
"I was trying to talk to you nicely, but you just attacked me. How could you be so rude and shameless?"
"Your husband must be blind to have married you. He should divorce you immediately to uphold family values!"
The lady's face immediately turned extremely ugly. She pointed at Lin Xiuyan, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Because the words Lin Xiuyan said to her were the same words she had just said to Lin Xiuyan.
Her face turned pale as she said, "You're utterly clueless!"
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "Don't you know what I'm talking about? I used the same words she used to insult me on you, and you said I was vicious and even tried to hit me."
“When Yu Feiyan cursed my father to death, you were all deaf and mute, not uttering a word. If that’s what you call ignorance, then I’ll accept it.”
The lady's face turned bright red from Lin Xiuyan's retort. She gritted her teeth, shook off Lin Xiuyan's hand, and slunk away.
The other ladies and young women who were watching the spectacle didn't look too pleased either.
Lin Xiuyan looked at Jiang Xinrou and said, "Cousin, you live in my house, eat my food, drink my water, yet you curse my father to die. You really know how to repay kindness!"
Jiang Xinrou's face turned somewhat pale. She tried to defend herself, "I... I didn't know the whole story just now, I..."
"You know nothing, yet you immediately ask me to apologize to outsiders. Is this what you call sisterly affection?" Lin Xiuyan interrupted her.
Jiang Xinrou: "..."
Even if she tries her best to salvage her image now, it's too late.
It's all Lin Xiuyan's fault. She didn't tell her beforehand that Yu Feiyan cursed Lin Yunzhi, putting her in such an awkward situation.
Lin Xiuyan ignored her and turned to look at Yu Feiyan, saying, "If you want my apology, first curse your whole family."
With red eyes and clutching her chest, Yu Feiyan said, "Lin Xiuyan, this isn't over yet that you hit me today!"
Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly: "Judging from your expression, you still want to go home and complain."
“I think you only took one kick, and the injury isn’t too obvious yet. I’ll make it a little harder so you can have more confidence when you go home and complain.”
Before Yu Feiyan could react, Yu Feiyan raised her hand and slapped her several times across the face.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Feiyan's face was swollen beyond recognition.
The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Yu Feiyan looked at Lin Xiuyan with disbelief. Lin Xiuyan clapped her hands with great satisfaction and said, "This way, your complaint when you go home will be even more effective."
"You don't need to thank me, I just like helping others."
Ye Junfei watched the spectacle with great interest.
He had seen many women argue, but this was the first time he had seen Lin Xiuyan handle things this way.
The veiled remarks uttered by those refined ladies are utterly uninteresting compared to today's performance.
Yu Feiyan finally realized what was happening. She screamed and lunged at Lin Xiuyan, trying to tear Lin Xiuyan's face apart.
Lin Xiuyan wouldn't give her that chance; she kicked her away before she could pounce.
When it comes to fighting, although she can't beat Ye Junfei, dealing with a sheltered woman like Yu Feiyan is no problem at all.
After being kicked away, Yu Feiyan got up again and wanted to hit Lin Xiuyan again.
The ladies and young women next to her thought she was really brainless. Knowing she couldn't beat Lin Xiuyan, she still went out of her way to get beaten!
Several people hurriedly pulled her back and coaxed her to rest in the nearby elegant room.
She was still cursing as she left, but she never dared to insult Lin Xiuyan's family again.
Jiang Xinrou's wishes didn't come true today, and she felt somewhat conflicted. She couldn't help but say, "Cousin, why did you have to do this?"
"What's wrong with giving way to Miss Yu? Her father is a seventh-rank official. You've offended her so badly. What if her family makes things difficult for your uncle?"
Lin Xiuyan crossed her arms and said, "What can we do now that we've already fought? Why don't you use your charm to smooth things over, cousin?"
Jiang Xinrou: "..."
Looking at the arrogant Lin Xiuyan in front of her, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
She clenched her fist, but quickly relaxed it. She said gently, "Cousin, don't misunderstand. We are family."
"No matter what happens, I will stand by your side."
She left in a hurry after she finished speaking, as if she wanted to help her deal with Yu Feiyan.
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow. If she likes acting so much, then let her act. Anyway, she doesn't mind playing along.
She discovered that being a playboy didn't seem so bad; she could act whenever she wanted without any burden.
No sooner had Jiang Xinrou left than Zhou Chenyang's voice came over: "I came to invite you to admire the flowers, not to fight!"
"I can hear you from far away, can't you just shut up for a second?"
Lin Xiuyan turned her head and saw Zhou Chenyang with a cold face.
She suppressed the urge to rush over and beat Zhou Chenyang up, glanced at him, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Zhou Chenyang called out to her, "Where are you going?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "I'm going home to have some peace and quiet!"
Zhou Chenyang: "..."
If she leaves like this, all his plans for today will be wasted.
He felt that Lin Xiuyan's temper had worsened recently, so he could only suppress his temper and coax her: "I rarely have free time, come for a walk with me!"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at him, seemingly conflicted. Zhou Chenyang then said, "Didn't you want me to paint a portrait of you last time? I'll paint one for you today."
This was already the greatest act of charity for him.
Lin Xiuyan's eyes flickered slightly, and she was about to nod in agreement when Ye Junfei picked a peony and pinned it in her hair, saying, "It looks even better this way."
Zhou Chenyang's gaze fell on Ye Junfei, and he said coldly, "It's you again. Who exactly are you?"
Lin Xiuyan, fearing that Ye Junfei might say something inappropriate, quickly spoke up before he could, saying, "He is the etiquette teacher that my father recently hired for me."
