Chapter 247 If She Doesn’t Become More Responsible, I Will Punish Her
After leaving Heyue Garden, Lin Yan originally planned to go directly to An Chunfang to settle the score.
But it was too late, so I didn’t go.
The next day, Lin Yan searched for a long time according to the address Zhou Gang gave her before she found their residence in northern Beijing.
The old city area in northern Beijing is hidden in the gaps between high-rise buildings. The unpleasant smell of oil smoke wafts from the deep narrow alleys, and the telephone poles are covered with rental advertisements.
The house Zhou Gang and his friends rented was an old-fashioned tube-shaped building without even an elevator. The corridor was piled with junk and the air was filled with a damp and musty smell.
The innermost room on the third floor was ajar. Lin Yan walked to the door and just happened to hear the conversation between An Chunfang and Zhou Gang.
"Chunfang, Yueyue has found a job now, it's time for us to go back home."
"The rent hasn't expired yet and I'm not moving out. I can stay here until I'm done and stay with Yueyue for a few more days."
"Alright."
"By the way, I think Yueyue's job isn't decent enough. Educational training institutions are always unstable. She still has to go to a public school, or work for a big company like Lin Yan did. Zhou Gang, go talk to Lin Yan and ask her to find a better job for Yueyue!"
Zhou Gang: "Don't worry about it. Don't bother Yanyan. It's not easy for Yanyan to live alone in Jingbei. As her elders, we can't help her, so don't hold her back!"
An Chunfang accused him, "Zhou Gang, why are you so stubborn? Lin Yan has no blood relationship with us, so why don't you use the resources you have? Am I raising her for nothing? You're such a loser, why was I so blind to marry you when I was young..."
The moment Lin Yan opened the door, An Chunfang's voice in the room stopped abruptly.
An Chunfang was sitting at a creaking wooden table picking vegetables. When she saw Lin Yan, the vegetables in her hand fell to the ground.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and she subconsciously shrank behind Zhou Gang, her eyes evasive and guilty, like a frightened mouse.
Zhou Gang was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He stood up and rubbed his hands: "Yan Yan? Why are you here? Come and sit down. I'll pour you a glass of water."
The room was pitifully small, with a double bed taking up most of the space. A paint-chipped wardrobe was squeezed next to it, and a few bulging snakeskin bags were piled in the corner. The air was filled with the smell of sweat and rotten food.
Lin Yan stood at the door, her eyes passing Zhou Gang and falling directly on An Chunfang.
"Uncle." Lin Yan's voice was very calm: "I hope you won't stop me from doing what I'm going to do next."
Before Zhou Gang could react, Lin Yan had already walked around him, stepped forward and grabbed An Chunfang's collar, revealing the loose skin on her neck.
An Chunfang screamed and struggled with her hands and feet, but was held tightly by Lin Yan.
"Lin Yan...you...what are you going to do!"
Lin Yan didn't say anything, but raised her hand and slapped her.
Zhou Gang was startled by the sound of slapping and wanted to step forward to stop it, but when he thought that Lin Yan would not get so angry for no reason, he stood there and watched with a frown.
An Chunfang was stunned by the beating. Before she could recover, a second slap came at her, even harder than the last one, carrying with it years of accumulated resentment.
"Lin Yan! You..."
“Snap—”
The third slap silenced her voice.
"An Chunfang, do you know why I hit you?"
After three consecutive slaps, An Chunfang became angry.
She simply burst into tears and cursed: "Lin Yan! How dare you hit me? You deserve to be struck by lightning, you unfilial person..."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Yan punched her in the cheek quickly and fiercely.
An Chunfang screamed in pain, fell to the ground, covered her swollen cheeks, slapped her thighs and cried out loudly.
"It's terrible! There's going to be a big uproar! People are going to get beaten to death!"
"Shut up." Lin Yan warned, "If you keep making noise, I'll continue beating you."
An Chunfang was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing Lin Yan like a tiger coming down the mountain, she couldn't help but feel guilty and had to restrain herself.
Zhou Gang came to his senses and rushed over to help An Chunfang, but looking at Lin Yan's cold face, he withdrew his hand: "Yan Yan...what are you doing? What happened? Did...did your aunt make you angry again?"
Lin Yan ignored him, looked down at An Chunfang lying on the ground, and warned her word by word.
"An Chunfang, I've been tolerant of you all these years for my uncle's sake. Whether you bullied me or insulted me, or gossiped about me behind my back, I didn't bother to care. But last night, you crossed my line."
An Chunfang was very confident and said with a stiff neck, "Lin Yan, what's the big deal? That Song Zheng guy just wants to have a meal with you, but he won't do anything to you! He'll give me 50,000 yuan if you go over to have a meal with him. 50,000 yuan! How much work does your uncle have to do on the construction site to earn that? Can't you be a little considerate of us?"
Zhou Gang probably understood what was going on and knew it was An Chunfang's fault. He said in a stern voice, "An Chunfang, what have you done again? Can you please stop causing trouble for a day? If you bother Yanyan again, we'll get divorced!"
When she heard about divorce, An Chunfang got angry.
He sat on the ground, kicked his legs and started crying loudly.
"Zhou Gang! Every time you ask me for a divorce it's because of Lin Yan! Who is your family, anyway? Do you think I'm afraid of divorcing you? Divorce me if you want!"
Before they started arguing, Lin Yan spoke before Zhou Gang.
She lowered her voice and said, "An Chunfang, I'm not the soft persimmon you used to push around. Don't mess with me in the future. Since I found Zhou Feiyue's job, I also have ways to make her lose her job immediately. As you know, I have a good relationship with Mr. Lu, so I have a way to make her completely unable to stay in Jingbei."
After saying that, Lin Yan left.
"Yan Yan!" Zhou Gang chased after her and grabbed her arm in the narrow corridor, his face full of apology: "I'm sorry, Yan Yan... Did I cause you trouble again? I apologize on behalf of your aunt, don't take it to heart..."
Lin Yan looked down at the frayed cuffs of Zhou Gang's cotton coat, then locked her eyes with his frostbitten, slightly trembling hands. Suddenly, a strong sense of bitterness welled up in her heart.
She patted the back of Zhou Gang's hand and forced a comforting smile: "Uncle, it's none of your business."
Lin Yan paused and stated her position frankly: "But from now on, I will no longer give An Chunfang face because of you. If she doesn't restrain herself, I will punish her twice as hard."
Zhou Gang knew right from wrong and nodded slowly: "Silly child, don't worry about your uncle. There are some bottom lines that no one can touch. It's a debt that must be paid back."
"Yan Yan, you're not a natural hedgehog. You've just been through so much hardship over the years that you've had to grow thorns to protect yourself. Your uncle understands. You're a good child, and I believe you won't do anything for no reason. No matter who bullies you, you must fight back and prioritize yourself, understand?"
"knew……"
Lin Yan's nose felt sore, and she quickly said goodbye to Zhou Gang and left before her eyes turned completely red.
After walking all the way to the first floor, Lin Yan suddenly felt dizzy.
I didn’t eat breakfast and my hypoglycemia came back again.
She sat on the stairs, leaning against the wall, and took out a candy from her bag.
I put it in my mouth and held it there for a long time before I recovered.
More than ten minutes had passed when I got up and walked out onto the street, only to see a car exactly like Xing Yu's parked on the side of the road.
She glanced casually, not looking at the license plate, but the horn honked.
Then the rear window rolled down, Lin Yan's eyes trembled slightly, looking at the familiar face, she seemed to have found her safe home.
She opened the car door without hesitation, got into the back seat and threw herself into his arms.
All the fatigue and sadness of the past few days turned uncontrollably into crystal in my eyes the moment I hugged him.
"Xing Yu..."
