Who knew that Lin Ruoyan would say those words so soon—
"Sure, Lin Chen, one Ning Jiaqi isn't enough for you anymore, is it? Now you've got your eye on Liu Tiantian? I never knew you had such a big appetite! You've been hiding it so well before!"
Lin Ruoyan's words made Lin Chen feel extremely embarrassed. Wang Nanshan and Liu Laosi exchanged glances, while Liu Xinxin gave Lin Chen a meaningful smile.
"Don't talk nonsense! I was just asking someone to check on my classmate," Lin Chen quickly retorted.
"Alright, Lin Chen, you're concerned about your classmates? Why don't you care about me?" Lin Ruoyan's words carried a hint of jealousy.
"Who do you think you are? Why would I care about you?" Lin Chen's words were filled with deep impatience.
"Xiao Chen, how can you talk to your teacher like that!" Wang Nanshan reminded him from the side.
Wang Nanshan couldn't listen any longer and interrupted, his tone tinged with anxiety. The tone on the other end of the line quickly changed, tinged with doubt: "Oh? Lin Chen, is there anyone else with you?"
“Teacher Wang, I’m so sorry to bother you. I’m Wang Nanshan, Lin Chen’s temporary caregiver. We met in the ward last time…”
"Oh, it's Uncle Nan, right? I remember you."
“Teacher Wang, I’m very close to Liu Tiantian’s father, and we’re together right now. Tiantian hasn’t come home from school yet, so we were thinking… um, Lin Chen wanted to ask you what’s going on…” Wang Nanshan hurriedly explained, his tone filled with helplessness and worry.
"Oh, I see. Lin Chen, why didn't you say so sooner? You almost gave yourself away!" Lin Ruoyan on the other end of the phone also felt a bit scared. Luckily, she hadn't called him "brother" directly!
"Liu Tiantian left after school and isn't at school anymore. However, she might be with Che Yulin. You can ask Lin Chen about that!"
Lin Chen mouthed an insult! Over the phone, Lin Ruoyan had so easily "betrayed" him to Che Yulin?
"Who is Che Yulin?" Wang Nanshan asked, his tone full of doubt.
"You don't know yet, do you? Liu Tiantian is such a worry. She doesn't study properly at school, and dyeing her hair and getting tattoos are one thing. But with the college entrance exam just around the corner, she's actually pestering a rich second-generation guy named Che Yulin to date her!"
"Since Liu Tiantian's parents are here, could you tell them to keep a close eye on this child..." Lin Ruoyan blurted out all of this without a second thought!
Liu Laosi, who was standing next to him, was so angry that he stood up as if he was about to take off his cloth shoes and hit someone!
"Alright, alright, if you can't speak properly, then shut up!" Lin Chen hurriedly hung up the phone, afraid of causing any more trouble.
"That damned girl! I've worked so hard to support her through school, and this is how she repays me? Wait till she gets back, I'll beat her to death!" Liu Laosi, fueled by alcohol, went on a rampage, and Wang Nanshan and Liu Xinxin couldn't stop him.
"Dad, don't say that. As long as Tian Tian comes back safely, our family will be fine." Liu Xinxin tried to soothe her father's emotions.
"Shut up! You're no better than me! You two sisters are so young and do nothing but date men? And look at the men you've chosen! You're making me so angry that I'd rather go live with your mother, would that make you happy?" Liu Laosi became more and more agitated as he spoke.
"Fourth brother, say no more!" Wang Nanshan forcibly dragged Liu Laosi into the inner room, leaving Liu Xinxin sitting at the dining table, silently shedding tears.
Lin Chen sighed, understanding what Liu Lao Si meant. It seemed that the two unfortunate sisters, Liu Xinxin and Liu Tiantian, had lost their mother at a very young age.
He moved closer to Liu Xinxin and handed her a tissue.
"I'm sorry, Lin Chen. I made you laugh at me." Liu Xinxin looked at Lin Chen with red eyes.
"Sister Xin Xin, what exactly did Fourth Uncle say? What happened to you?" Although Lin Chen didn't like Liu Tian Tian, he cared a lot about Liu Xin Xin. He couldn't understand how such a good woman could encounter such a scumbag.
"Don't even mention it, Lin Chen. My life is just as miserable. My man... he's been led astray by his bad friends. He's been to the police station before, and I've tried to talk him down several times, but he just won't listen. Just a few days ago, he was bragging to me that he'd landed a big job, and if he did it, he'd earn 500,000 yuan!"
I was worried at the time, but he was completely caught up in the excitement, saying that after this job, he would settle down with me and we would live a good life together. But who would have thought that later... he would completely disappear.” Liu Xinxin became more and more emotional as she spoke, and in the end, she could only cover her face and cry.
Lin Chen sighed and was about to offer some words of comfort when he noticed Liu Xinxin throwing herself onto his shoulder and bursting into tears! This completely stunned him.
Although he had had physical contact with Ning Jiaqi before, this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful young woman, a mother of a newborn, sobbing on his shoulder in heartbreak! As a result, Lin Chen was completely at a loss for what to do.
"Brother Lin Chen, why is my life so miserable?" Liu Xinxin cried.
"Hey, Xin Xin, don't get agitated... What exactly is this 'big job' your man was talking about? Have you contacted any of his other friends?" Lin Chen tried to calm her down.
“A few days ago, one of his friends told me that he seems to have committed attempted murder! It’s a serious crime, and he could be sentenced to at least twenty or thirty years! If that’s true, what am I going to do?” Liu Xinxin cried until her eyes were swollen.
Lin Chen quickly took out tissues and personally wiped away her tears. "If that's really the case, it's indeed quite difficult. Your child is still so young, what are we going to do?"
At this moment, Liu Laosi rushed over again, his eyes red, and said, "That little bastard lied to my Xinxin that she was pregnant and had a child. Now he deserves to be arrested. He should be sentenced to death! That would make me feel better!"
"Dad!" Liu Xinxin cried out.
"That's right! That guy and Xin Xin never got a marriage certificate. He got Xin Xin drunk and forced himself on her to have the child! He deserves to die, he deserves to die!" Liu Laosi shouted angrily.
"Dad, stop talking, stop talking!!!" The scene was out of control. Liu Laosi and Liu Xinxin both had red eyes and were about to start hurling insults at each other.
"You two have had enough. Hey, Xiao Chen, come over here and talk some sense into them!" Wang Nanshan was starting to lose his temper.
But Lin Chen was surprisingly calm. He had initially thought Liu Xinxin's situation was simply due to an unhappy marriage, but if what Liu Laosi said was true, then this matter was far from simple!
