(307)
Ye Wenyu's face was frosty as she coldly and pierced the heart, saying, "You're jealous of me? You hate me to the point of madness because I, a poor girl, gained your elder brother's favor and affection in just one year. He gave me a huge fortune, while some people have been trying to curry favor for over a decade and have gotten nothing in return, haven't they?"
Lin Tingyue, after all, wasn't very bright. She couldn't out-argue Ye Wenyu in front of the academic genius. Now, hearing Ye Wenyu hit a nerve, her eyes reddened, and she glared at her angrily. Suddenly, she let out a low growl and pounced on Ye Wenyu like a mother cat. Her red-painted nails scratched bloody marks all over Ye Wenyu's fair, lily-like face. She gripped Ye Wenyu's long hair tightly, controlling her body, and kicked her lower body violently. She wanted to kill this despicable woman!
Yes, she was insanely jealous, insanely hateful, and wished she could kill her immediately, even if it meant dying together with her. She had struggled for over a decade, flattered her elder brother for over a decade, and ended up with nothing. This woman, on the other hand, had gained everything in just one year without doing anything!
That's so unfair!
She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Shameless poor woman, you only deserve to be someone's mistress. Is your vagina studded with diamonds? How can you ask for such a high price? What kind of seductive magic did you use to make my brother spend so much money on you? And you still have the nerve to ask for such an expensive house? You don't deserve it!"
Ye Wenyu neither cried nor screamed. At first, because she did not expect Lin Tingyue to hit her, she was at a disadvantage as the other party had the upper hand. Lin Tingyue grabbed her hair and ripped off a piece of her scalp, leaving her head burning with pain. Lin Tingyue kicked her legs from time to time, causing excruciating pain. The vile words were like spoonfuls of hot oil poured into her ears, subjecting her to humiliation she had never experienced before.
But she silently endured it, protecting her vitals while looking for an opportunity. The two of them were tangled together, like a giant ball, bumping back and forth on the bookshelves in the study. Most of the books, which had been quietly sitting on the shelves, were now falling off like snowflakes due to their violent collisions, scattering all over the floor. Some books landed on their shoulders like bricks, crashing down hard and causing Ye Wenyu to break out in a sweat from the pain.
She lost track of time. When her body went numb with pain, feeling as if she were being burned alive, she finally seized an opportunity. She grabbed Lin Tingyue's long, seaweed-like hair, freed one hand, and with all her might, slapped Lin Tingyue's face twice. The two crisp "slaps" made Lin Tingyue see stars and her eyes fill with tears. She cried out in fear and helplessness, "Help! Big brother, help me!"
Ye Wenyu turned the tables and continued to slap Lin Tingyue across the face, gritting her teeth and sneering, "You have no right to talk about me. How much better can you be? You just wanted to ask your older brother but couldn't get it, while I got it, so you're jealous of me. I was so stupid before, thinking that your kindness to me over the past six months was selfless. Now I understand, you were kind to me to curry favor with your older brother. Even when you introduced me to him, it was to flatter him. Lin Tingyue, why are you cursing me? You should be cursing yourself. You're the one who caused this situation, not me!"
Lin Tingyue was stunned and completely weakened by the beating. She leaned against the bookshelf and slowly sat down. Her once fair and beautiful face was swollen, like a spoiled white steamed bun. Tears welled up in her eyes, like two small rivers. She had changed from her previous shrewish arrogance to the most pitiful and weak girl in the world.
Ye Wenyu got tired of fighting, so she stopped, retreated to the vicinity of the desk, and slowly sat down.
At this moment, upon hearing footsteps, both girls looked up. Lin Tingfeng had already appeared at the study door, his face clouded with worry.
Seeing her older brother, Lin Tingyue immediately regained her strength. Pale-faced, she cried and complained, "Big brother, she hit me! She actually hit me!" Pointing to her slightly swollen face, she said with infinite grievance, "Look at my face! How am I supposed to face anyone now?"
Ye Wenyu, who had been wearily looking down, raised her head angrily upon hearing these unjust words. However, she was too lazy to explain. If Lin Tingfeng didn't believe her, then there was no point in her staying here.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her chest seemed to be filled with withered leaves.
Lin Tingfeng said slowly to Lin Tingyue, "I saw everything. You started it. Go back now." There was an indescribable weariness on Lin Tingfeng's face, a weariness that had seeped into his bones.
Lin Tingyue was stunned. It was as if thunder had exploded in her mind, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart. Sure enough, he treated her much worse than he treated that poor girl! More than ten years of effort could not compare to a year of getting along.
More than a decade of flattery and fawning has all come to naught.
She slowly stood up, her heart pounding as if it had been hit by an earthquake and tsunami. She dragged her leaden steps as she prepared to leave. She wanted to go and cry to her second brother, but as she reached the door of the study and was about to leave, Lin Tingfeng's voice came from behind her: "Also, don't look for Wenyu anymore. She has her final exams coming up. Someone like you who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun shouldn't bother her."
What?! Like a bolt from the blue, Lin Tingyue turned around abruptly, her face as pale as a corpse, her expression one of disbelief. She stared wide-eyed at her older brother, her heart feeling as if an eighteen-wheeled truck had collapsed. Had something gone wrong with her ears? Had she misheard? Her older brother was actually kicking her out for an outsider?
He said she harassed this penniless woman.
How could he say such cold and heartless things?
Lin Tingyue stared blankly at Lin Tingfeng, her lips trembling as if they were filled with scalding hot oil, unable to utter a word. She felt as if something within her was collapsing like a house.
A heart, consumed by despair, finally froze.
Lin Tingfeng lowered his head, looking somewhat uneasy, but still insisted on his own opinions and stance. At some point, he had already walked to Ye Wenyu's side, bowing his head to carefully examine her injuries. Seeing how badly she was injured, with a piece of scalp torn off her head and her hair stained with blood, looking particularly gruesome, and her once pretty face swollen like a steamed bun, her mouth cracked and oozing blood, and one of her large eyes blackened and cracked at the corner, he couldn't help but feel angry. However, because Lin Tingyue was his sister and a young girl, he couldn't lash out, so he remained silent, simply reaching out and tightly grasping Ye Wenyu's hand.
