Lin Yang couldn't understand whether Chu Yu had some kind of mental illness.
We don't have any major grudge against him, do we? Why are we so fixated on them?
"Yangyang, what are you thinking about?" Xu Chengzhi asked, patting Lin Yang's head when he saw her lost in thought.
Lin Yang, her chin tired from resting on the back of her hand, lifted it up, rubbed it, and subconsciously answered his question, "I was wondering, what kind of grudge did the original owner have against him?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Yang realized she had said something she shouldn't have and quickly covered her mouth.
Lin Yang, you really don't treat him like an outsider after spending so much time with him?
You actually dared to say the term "original owner" to Xu Chengzhi's face! You've really made something of yourself!
"Original owner? Yangyang, you're talking nonsense again." Fortunately, Xu Chengzhi didn't take the word to heart. He smiled helplessly, thinking that Lin Yang was just talking nonsense as usual, calling him a scumbag.
Lin Yang smiled awkwardly, not denying the reason Xu Chengzhi had given her.
"So... what did you do with the person who threw sulfuric acid?" Lin Yang rested her chin on the back of her hand again, casually trying to find a topic to talk about.
Since she was in too much pain to sleep anyway, she might as well find something to talk about to pass the time.
"Treat them as they treat you." Xu Chengzhi didn't elaborate, only uttering this ambiguous statement.
Just that one sentence, coupled with the undisguised ruthlessness emanating from Xu Chengzhi upon his return, was enough for Lin Yang to imagine the fate of the person who threw sulfuric acid.
If I had to sum it up in one word, that person's fate would definitely be—miserable.
But Lin Yang didn't go to see for himself, and he never imagined it would be so tragic.
Later, some gossipy people in town talked about it and mentioned the matter.
I heard that the woman died from her body rotting away without anyone helping her.
The mouth and throat are the most severely corroded, and death occurs silently.
More than ten days later, when the body had started to decompose, it was quietly carried out of that cramped little house and hastily burned.
She paid the price for her mistakes, though it was dozens of times worse than most people would expect.
Who told her to fall for the young master of the Xu family?
Of course, no one bothered to investigate the truth of these rumors that ordinary people were talking about in private. Some said they saw it with their own eyes, while others said it was completely untrue.
Whether it was true or false, the fact remains that it never reached Lin Yang's ears.

The two of them huddled in the hospital room, chatting idly, until Lawyer Hao knocked on the door.
"Knock knock—"
"Come in." Xu Chengzhi said without turning his head, tossing a "permission granted" sign to the door.
Attorney Hao pushed open the door and entered, carrying a thick stack of contracts in his arms.
He was chatting with Xu Chengzhi when he saw the mountain of contracts piled up in Lawyer Hao's arms and was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.
It almost completely blocked Attorney Hao's head; it's impressive that he carried so many contracts in all by himself.
"Young Master, all the property contracts under the Xu family's name, including those related to your own businesses, are here." Lawyer Hao swayed as he approached the bedside and reported to Xu Chengzhi.
"Hmm." Xu Chengzhi glanced at it and gestured for him to put it aside.
"This...this...this is all your property?" Lin Yang swallowed hard, incredulous.
"What? Yangyang, do you think it's not enough? It's okay, I will continue to work hard to earn money to support you and our future children." Xu Chengzhi saw that Lin Yang had a strong reaction and thought that she was not satisfied with the property contract that was as high as a small hill.
No, no, no! That's way too much!
Xu Chengzhi, Xu Chengzhi, your family has so much money. Why did you do that in your previous life, the Tu Lin family's wealth was less than a quarter of yours?
