(263)
Yes, Ye Wenyu thought to herself. Now she knew that Lin Tingxuan was not mentally ill. Lin Tingfeng had slandered her younger brother for some unknown reason. She didn't understand the reason now, but that didn't mean she had to leave Lin Tingfeng right away.
Why did she agree to Lin Tingxuan's request to leave Lin Tingfeng? Just because of his one-sided account? What else did Lin Tingxuan say? He said he had a job, that he would be independent in the future, and that he would earn money to help her through the difficulties?
These words, with their implied meaning, always seem to hide something else.
Ye Wenyu was lost in thought, trying desperately to break free from Lin Tingxuan's grasp, but Lin Tingxuan's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly gripping her delicate wrist. She tried with all her might, but she couldn't break free.
She shouted angrily, "Let go!" Her wrist was already a terrifying red from his grip. Remembering how he had broken her hand bones in a moment of impulsiveness last time, Ye Wenyu was terrified that her hand would be broken again.
Just then, a commanding voice rang out, "Let go!" A tall, robust figure strode forward from behind her, blocking her path between her and Lin Tingxuan.
He was as big and strong as a bear, and when he walked, the hem of his black coat would fly up in the air, making him look particularly frightening.
It is Lin Tingfeng.
Realizing that Lin Tingfeng had suddenly appeared, Ye Wenyu's heart pounded wildly like a drum. At the same time, she noticed that Lin Tingxuan was also frightened; his handsome face turned as pale as paper.
However, Lin Tingxuan still held his head high without any fear.
Lin Tingfeng stared coldly at Lin Tingxuan, his eyes like ice, and said angrily, "She doesn't like it!" His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists, showing that he was very angry and was desperately trying to control himself.
His voice was full of warning. Ye Wenyu felt a strange warmth in her heart when she heard Lin Tingfeng's voice, even though her absolute trust in him was beginning to waver, like a house in an earthquake.
Lin Tingxuan's hand seemed to be stuck to Ye Wenyu's hand. He still stood there, chin raised, like a stone statue, motionless, without letting go.
Lin Tingfeng snorted coldly, then raised his fist. Lin Tingxuan only saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then with a "bang," he fell to the ground, blood gushing from his nose, and his face burning with pain.
Lin Tingfeng put his arm around Ye Wenyu.
Lin Tingxuan tried to struggle to stand up, but he was too weak and his efforts were in vain.
Lin Tingfeng glanced at Ye Wenyu and said to her in a commanding tone, "Let's go." Then, without waiting for her reply, he forcibly pulled her around and half-carried, half-pushed her towards the parking area in the distance.
Lin Tingxuan fell to the ground, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Lin Tingfeng, she already knows your true colors, hahaha, she won't stay by your side forever, hahaha." Lin Tingxuan laughed hysterically, more like a lunatic than any other lunatic.
Ye Wenyu listened to Lin Tingxuan's incessant laughter, her heart filled with fear. She lowered her head, her hands still tightly clutching Lin Tingxuan's medical records and test results, which Lin Tingxuan had just used to prove that he was not mentally ill.
She could no longer distinguish who was right and who was wrong; she felt like she had become prey that the two brothers were fighting over.
After walking quite a distance and turning a corner, once they were absolutely certain that Lin Tingxuan could no longer see her, Ye Wenyu gently broke free from Lin Tingfeng's embrace and kept a certain distance from him.
Lin Tingfeng froze, the words of Lin Tingxuan's hysterical outburst echoing in his ears: "Lin Tingfeng, she already knows your true colors, hahaha, she won't stay by your side forever, hahaha." A wave of anxiety washed over him, and he stopped in his tracks, looking at Ye Wenyu not far away with a heavy heart.
She was slowly seeing through his true colors. He became insecure and uncertain.
Lin Tingfeng felt a little panicked.
Ye Wenyu had her back to Lin Tingfeng, but she knew he was watching her, so she gritted her teeth, turned around, and faced Lin Tingfeng.
Her face was tense, and her eyes were cold.
At this moment, her heart had just experienced a major earthquake, all her previous understanding had been shattered, and Lin Tingfeng in front of her felt like a complete stranger.
Ye Wenyu opened her mouth, mustered her courage, and said to Lin Tingfeng, "Lin Tingxuan is not mentally ill. He went to the hospital and had a doctor examine him, which proved that he is not mentally ill."
Lin Tingfeng seemed to be wearing a mask; upon hearing Ye Wenyu's words, his face remained expressionless. Ye Wenyu looked at him quietly, hoping for an explanation, or rather, a response.
But she couldn't discern anything from his face. He remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, and his eyes didn't blink even if a deer leaped to his left. Only then could he control the situation and await the enemy. This line from the novel *The Art of the Mind* perfectly describes Lin Tingfeng.
He is a truly terrifying person.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly for Ye Wenyu, like ten thousand years. Finally, Lin Tingfeng spoke, not to answer her question, but to ask her a question in return: "Why did you see him again?" His voice was soft, yet it struck Ye Wenyu like a whip.
Ye Wenyu was stunned, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. He didn't explain to her confusion, even though he was the one who had deceived her, he instead questioned her with a commanding and angry tone.
In his heart, she was merely an object, devoid of life and emotion, and not worthy of equal treatment, like a chair in his office or an appliance at home.
He can refuse to answer her questions, but can she refuse to answer his questions?
As Ye Wenyu pondered, she felt as if she were in an ice cellar. It turned out that her search for someone who loved her had ultimately been in vain.
At this moment, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Neither of them had brought an umbrella, and they stood silently in the rain. Ye Wenyu suddenly felt a chill in her heart, turned around, and walked forward with her head down.
She got caught in the rain, but she didn't care.
She once loved him so much, trusted him so much, and thought she had finally found warmth and love. But she never expected that, in fact, she had no place in his heart. If he really treated her well and really loved her, even just a little bit, he wouldn't lie to her so easily. If he had even a little bit of love for her, he wouldn't disregard her feelings and speak in such a hateful tone.
Yes, she was so foolish. She actually thought they were equals and that he doted on her, so she became so arrogant and forgot about the embarrassing beginning between them.
He was always superior, always looking down on her, because he had bought her with his money.
