Chapter 174 Let’s settle the score
The servant stumbled in to report, and all three of them were stunned.
Lin Rushuang's dark pupils suddenly constricted, and her heart felt like it was hit hard by someone. Why did He Tingchen suddenly come to the Lin family?
Could it be that Zhao Xiande told him?
She was not prepared to face him. To be honest, Lin Rushang felt guilty towards He Tingchen.
She used him to fulfill her last wish and disappear from this world without a word.
He Tingchen probably looked for her all these years just to settle accounts with her.
Looking around, I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Yuncheng who dares to tease him like this.
But she had no other choice at the time, otherwise she would not have resorted to such a desperate measure. After all, who would want to pluck the hair from a tiger's head?
Ding Xuezhen was the one who reacted the fastest. She quickly waved and shouted to the servant.
"What are you still standing there for? Stop him now!"
Ding Xuezhen's face showed a look of horror. If He Tingchen saw Lin Rushuang, Lin Yuxi would have no chance at all.
"Why, is this how the Lin family treats guests?"
Before the servants could even step out, a deep and cold male voice resounded in the hall.
Lin Rushuang's back stiffened, and her legs were frozen in place as if they were filled with lead. Her fingertips were deeply sunken in her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
My heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it would burst out of my body at any moment.
He Tingchen was wearing a neat grey suit, with a tall and straight figure and a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. However, the dark eyes behind the glasses concealed a turbulent current that made people dare not look directly at him.
After not seeing him for a few years, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but his eyes, which had always been extremely indifferent, now seemed to have lost all warmth.
It makes people feel like they are in the cold winter.
But he didn't look at her, instead his black eyes were fixed on Ding Xuezhen.
Ding Xuezhen's expression froze for a moment, and her face turned pale. She spoke after a moment.
"Mr. He, you...you misunderstood. How could we not welcome you? It's just that we have a lot of things to do at home recently, so it's inconvenient to welcome guests."
He Tingchen raised his hand and touched his high brow bone. The moment his eyelids lifted, a cold light flashed, and then he pointed at where Lin Rushang was standing.
"What you call a lot of family troubles is just someone who disappeared for a few years suddenly coming back, right?"
Lin Rushuang didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment He Tingchen pointed at her, she felt as if her whole body was imprisoned.
Ding Xuezhen: "This..."
Lin Yuxi reacted at this time and quickly walked to He Tingchen.
"Mr. He, this is our family affair, don't worry about it. Come to my room, I have something to tell you."
He Tingchen's eyes were always fixed on Lin Rushang, refusing to let go for even a moment. Lin Rushang felt creepy and subconsciously looked away. She didn't have any extra time to waste here.
There was no time to worry about He Tingchen at this moment.
She walked straight upstairs again.
Ding Xuezhen stopped her again: "Lin Rushuang, didn't you hear what I just said? I told you, this is our Lin family's business! You are an outsider, what right do you have to interfere in our Lin family's affairs?"
Lin Rushang's eyes were firm and hot, mixed with a strong sense of oppression. Ding Xuezhen was actually a little afraid of Lin Rushang, but she couldn't just watch Lin Rushang take away the family property.
Maybe Lin Jianguo has changed his mind and wants to divide all his property into Lin Rushang when he sees her back.
He Tingchen sat leisurely on the chair, his long legs crossed, not considering himself an outsider at all.
"Second Miss, since you haven't finished your family affairs yet, please take care of them first. I can wait."
His words "I can wait" made everyone present a little confused. For a moment, they couldn't figure out what He Tingchen came here for.
Ding Xuezhen stared at Lin Rushuang and said, "Lin Rushuang, do you really have to be like this? I'm warning you, you're breaking into a private house. I can call the police and have you arrested immediately!"
When Lin Rushang heard this, she was not at all panicked. Instead, she raised her chin and glanced at Ding Xuezhen with her slightly mocking eyes.
"Okay, then call the police. I want to see if they come to arrest you or me. Do you still need me to help you recall what happened five years ago?"
Ding Xuezhen's face turned pale: "You...what do you mean."
"Five years ago, who bribed someone to go to the hospital and inject me with drugs that killed me? Aren't you curious about why the people you sent five years ago disappeared with me?"
Lin Rushuang's slightly cold eyes swept across Ding Xuezhen and Lin Yuxi like a sharp knife.
These words seemed to hit Lin Yuxi and Ding Xuezhen's vital points, leaving them frozen in place.
Lin Yuxi suddenly said in a panic: "This matter has nothing to do with me, Lin Rushuang, stop slandering us here!"
Lin Rushuang's eyes flashed with coldness in an instant: "Really? Whether it's slander or not, we can find out by calling out the people you sent back then and questioning them."
Ding Xuezhen and Lin Yuxi stood there in a daze, completely speechless.
Lin Rushang went up and pushed Ding Xuezhen away and walked straight upstairs. This time no one dared to stop her.
He Tingchen sat on the chair, squinting his eyes, tapping his bony fingers on the table, and looked sideways at Lin Yuxi and Ding Xuezhen with a cold look in his eyes.
Lin Rushang went up to open the safe and took away everything Lin Jianguo wanted.
The action was done in one go, and there was no time to delve into what He Tingchen was doing at the Lin family.
She was about to leave when Lin Yuxi saw the documents in her hand and suddenly went up to her, grabbed her arm, and burst into tears.
"Sister, you have ignored the Lin family for these years and left Yuncheng long ago. Why do you come back to destroy my peaceful life? I am obviously the daughter of the Lin family."
"Why did you come back to snatch all this from me? What did I do wrong? You took away my parents, who originally belonged to me, and now you want to come back and fight for our Lin family's property!"
When Lin Rushuang saw Lin Yuxi like this, she inexplicably remembered that Jiang Yuyan looked like this back then.
She looks pitiful and pretends to be the most pitiful person in the world to gain sympathy from others.
Seeing this, Lin Yuxi turned her head to look at He Tingchen again. She walked up to him and tightly grasped the cuffs of his suit, her eyes slightly red and tears streaming down her face.
"Mr. He, don't believe what my sister said. She wronged us. Now you can see that she came back suddenly. When she learned that my father was critically ill, she wanted to come back to fight for the property!"
"She even accused us of wanting to harm her, even though she was the one who left the divorce agreement and wanted to divorce her brother-in-law! Now she's blaming us for your leaving."
Lin Yuxi turned around and questioned Lin Rushang.
"You keep saying that we harmed you, so why did you leave? Also, do you dare to tell us where you have been all these years?"
How could Lin Rushang tell Lin Yuxi where she had been? She had signed a confidentiality agreement.
Now that she had the things, she didn't want to waste time talking to Lin Yuxi anymore. She glanced at Lin Yuxi with a cold face.
Suddenly, He Tingchen stood up and stretched out his arm to stop her.
Lin Rushang paused and looked at him subconsciously.
