Chapter 416: Chapter 292 - Playing Innocent, Who Can’t? (Second Update)_2

"Dirty." A single, indifferent word escaped from his lips as he glanced at the fallen Jiang Tiantian. Without hesitation, Jing Chen turned around, only to find his beloved had already returned to his side; the coldness in his eyes instantly melting, leaving the sales assistant’s heart pounding.

It seemed her earlier concerns were superfluous—this was total trust embodied! The sales assistant clasped her hands dramatically and swooned.

"Since it is dirty, let’s change it." Mu Lin passed the clothes she had just picked out, with a faint smile playing on her lips. Yet beneath her indifferent gaze, a chill lurked unnoticed.

No one but her can merely fancy her man, Mu Lin.

Jing Chen took the clothes and headed toward the dressing room.

Perfect clothes, now ruined—a first set chosen for him by his darling Linlin.

His date was interrupted, and Jing Chen was clearly not pleased.

"So, it’s you." Mu Lin relaxed in her seat, her calm gaze resting on Sun Yao. "I don’t know what tricks you used to fool Ya Yan and even snatch away her fiancé. But, for Ya Yan, this might be a good thing. Maybe she should be thanking you." After all, such a weak man didn’t deserve Ya Yan. More importantly, Mu Lin didn’t think Yan Zilei could possibly hand ’his woman’ over to someone else.

What a truly straightforward opener.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, the sales assistants nearby exchanged thoughtful glances.

So that was the case. These two women were mistresses. They had been so arrogantly aloof, the woman upfront had set her sights on their customer’s boyfriend, and the woman behind had even seduced someone’s fiancé. This was truly outrageous.

The sales assistants looked unabashedly at the mistresses. Of course, there were also a few pairs of male and female customers whispering about them.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Sun Yao glared at Mu Lin, her eyes filled with disdain. She hadn’t expected Mu Lin to expose her so fearlessly.

"Alright then, play dumb." Sun Yao initially thought Mu Lin would confront her based on her guesses, but was taken aback when she failed to follow through. Unsure of what to say, she stood still, letting the murmuring crowd continue their chatter.

On the sidelines, Jiang Tiantian had already picked herself up. Looking at Mu Lin’s and Sun Yao’s standoff, she asked, "Who are you?" Was the Ya Yan in Mu Lin’s mouth the pampered young mistress of the Ya Family? Well, she deserved it for not being able to keep a firm hold on her fiancé.

Jiang Tiantian had an interesting past with the Ya Family because of Sun Yao. She had once been interested in Yan Zilei. Unfortunately, his response was pretty much the same as Jing Chen’s if not slightly better. At least Yan Zilei ignored her and spared her some dignity.

If it were any ordinary man, Jiang Tiantian might have had her way, but the one she was interested in happened to be Yan Zilei, the head of the Ya Family. Even though the Jiang Family may be prosperous and untouchable by most in Ming City, the Ya Family still did not regard them highly.

The result was predictable. Fortunately, Miss Jiang Tiantian wasn’t obsessed with Yan Zilei; otherwise, she probably would have been killed by him by now.

Once provoked, he didn’t care whether you were from the Jiang Family, Sun Family, or who backed you. Leaving you with an intact corpse would be considered a mercy on Yan Zilei’s part.

Upon hearing Jiang Tiantian’s comments, Mu Lin subconsciously dug at her ear. Oh dear! Such a sweet face, yet such an alluring voice.

People always say angels have beautiful faces and devilish bodies, but the woman in front of her seemed to have an angelic face, a bewitching voice, and as for the figure... well, that was less impressive.

Seeing Mu Lin blatantly scrutinising her body, Jiang Tiantian blushed slightly. Her figure was her biggest insecurity, and this woman dared to openly mock her.

This was an injustice for Mu Lin. It wasn’t as if she was ridiculing Jiang Tiantian; she had merely assessed her a little frankly.

"Mu Lin." Sun Yao’s lips tightened subtly, her gaze on Mu Lin hinting at hurt. "I know I offended you last time inadvertently, so if you want to resent me, I’ll apologize. Please don’t be angry." The white-lotus facade appeared once again.

This woman was really adept at exploiting her inherent advantages. Unfortunately, she encountered Mu Lin.

Seeing Mu Lin’s smile tighten, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did you offend me? I thought I offended you. I knew I shouldn’t have rescued the person you wanted to harm. But could I let a girl be tormented by a bunch of hoodlums? For hurting your people, I apologize. I didn’t hurt them too badly, did I?" It wasn’t her who had taken their lives; Mu Lin looked innocent, "Furthermore, you’ve already arranged for an attack on my family member a few days ago. Now..." The rest was better left unsaid.

Humans are intelligent and complex creatures. They can certainly imagine what will ensue—perhaps even more vividly and dramatically than what Mu Lin would have disclosed.

Playing the victim card is easy, and everyone can do that.

As for the family member she mentioned, she was naturally referring to Yinzi, who was probably messing around in the room with Qiaozi by now. They should just pray that they wouldn’t wreck the hotel parlor.
