Chapter 991: Chapter 659: People Who Don’t Know Whether They’re Dead or Alive (Second Update)

"Do you like what you see; need to come a bit closer, maybe, to get a clearer view?"

A cold glance swept lightly, resting quietly on that face next to Ye Jianfeng... the shiny, oily porcine countenance that Mu Lin found so unappetizing.

So this was the man Ye Zi’s father intended for her to marry... Indeed, what great taste!

They were quite a good match for each other, it seemed.

Initially, the pair of murderous eyes by Mu Lin’s side had scared him, but upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, he snapped back to reality and looked at Mu Lin, "Divine Doctor Mu, are you addressing me? That is truly an honor." He paused before answering, "Divine Doctor Mu is like a fairy descended from the heavens, even the paintings on the wall would pale in comparison to your beauty."

The self-righteous pig, probably the very one before Mu Lin’s eyes, was completely oblivious to how the temperature plunged several degrees because of his words.

Gong Yu and Ye Xiwen immediately wanted to tear off the pig face before them, how dare he lay eyes on their sister (Mu Lin), but Jing Youlan and Ji Shubai stopped them.

"What are you doing?" Both turned around and glared angrily, dissatisfied.

"Let’s wait and see," they were curious about how Mu Lin would handle this, as for beating someone up, if they wanted to, there would be plenty of chances to take him down later.

They really hadn’t seen Mu Lin humiliate anyone for a long time, nor had they seen someone seek death so eagerly!

The pig probably didn’t even realize he had misspoken and was still smug.

Looking at him, indeed, he was.

The fact that such a person could establish a business and achieve its current scale was, to be honest, incredible to them.

Hearing his words, Mu Lin broke out in a smile, her eyes curving beautifully, "Do you know what happened to the last person who looked at me like that?"

"What happened?" He was dazed by Mu Lin’s smile, asking somewhat foolishly.

"Lost a pair of eyes, probably begging at some street corner with a bowl right now." Mu Lin sat up slowly, her speech unhurried and measured, yet increasingly frigid, "Would you like to — give it a try?" She actually didn’t mind getting her hands dirty; it had been a long while since she personally did.

The other party narrowed his eyes, and after comprehending the meaning behind Mu Lin’s words, his face darkened immediately, "Divine Doctor Mu, what are you implying with that remark?" Was she threatening him?

Mu Lin laughed softly, the curve of her lips elegant as a blooming rose, "I meant exactly what I said, I thought I was quite clear." Why are there so many people with hearing problems nowadays?

Mu Lin expressed that she really was helpless! She never liked repeating herself.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Mr. Li of the Li Family’s face grew even darker, "I respect you, hence I address you as Divine Doctor Mu; don’t forget, this is S City, not your B City! If you want to show off, go back to your B City." The implication was clear: in S City, Mu Lin was nothing.

Hearing that, Mu Lin almost wanted to laugh.

When did she ever show off? Clearly, the person before her fit that description more aptly.

If others don’t offend me, I won’t offend others, but if others offend me, well, sorry! That was Mu Lin’s principle.

"It seems, Mr. Li, that you truly imagine yourself the Boss of S City." It was hard to tell whether that was supposed to be a compliment or sarcasm.

Hearing this, Jing Youlan and others curled their lips.

Tsk, tsk, tsk... The sister-in-law is being mischievous again, digging such an obvious hole; but against such stupendously stupid people, it was enough.

Indeed!

"So what if I am," the man scoffed, "At least I’m of much higher status here than an outsider like you." The words escaped his mouth before Ye Jianfeng could stop him.

Unlike Ye Jianfeng, Mr. Li held a rather low opinion of Mu Lin’s reputation, feeling that the rumors were greatly exaggerated and placing her on a pedestal, which meant nothing to him; furthermore, the status of women in his heart was akin to that of playthings, which was one of the reasons he proposed to Ye Jianfeng that Ye Xiwen be given to him in marriage in exchange for cooperation.

As for other reasons, they are probably known only to him.

Nan Minhao looked at Mu Lin; was his sister-in-law planning to use him as a pawn? Truly—what an honor!

A sigh rose from the crowd. "Boss Li, so you’re the real boss of S City. I truly admire you. Just remember to take good care of us, okay?" The corner of his mouth curved deeply, very genuinely playing the role of Mu Lin’s pawn.

When Boss Li finally came to his senses, he had little recognition of Mu Lin, but he knew better than to mess with Nan Minhao, the little overlord of S City. He knew he couldn’t afford to provoke him.

He had been paying attention only to Mu Lin, probably overlooking Nan Minhao, who had been sitting quietly next to Mu Lin, eating fruit without speaking. Unfortunately, today Nan Minhao had decided to keep a low profile uncharacteristically, and someone had suffered for it.

"Young Master Nan, so you’re here too." Seeing Nan Minhao, Boss Li’s forehead almost broke out in sweat.

He couldn’t help it; his enterprise was nothing but a minute-away-from-bankruptcy existence under Nan Minhao’s control, and he immediately regretted his actions.

What was he doing arguing with a woman! Now he had offended the little overlord with schemes in mind. He instantly blamed all the misunderstanding on Mu Lin.

Mu Lin... innocently took the blame, idly playing with a silver needle that had somehow appeared out of nowhere, smiling without a word.

Nan Minhao said, "Yes, I’m here too, just having tea and chatting with my sister-in-law;" with that, he sighed softly, "Even my sister-in-law dares to be threatened. It’s no wonder Boss Li only noticed now with my modest and light suggestions." While speaking, he shook his head, the little overlord showing ’humility’ in front of others for the first time.

Watching Nan Minhao, Boss Li felt the sweat on his forehead uncontrollably slipping down.

He didn’t know how to respond to that. "How could it be." He chuckled dryly while stealthily wiping the sweat from his forehead, feeling utterly weak and at a loss at the moment.

Initially, Boss Li had come to get acquainted with Mu Lin, hoping to solicit or buy some good things from her, and to have her check the issues with his body, not to mention his premature problem. But he hadn’t expected Mu Lin to speak to him like this.

In a fit of anger, the situation had escalated into its current state.

The man had deep regrets.

Ye Jianfeng stood on the side, unsure of what to do, after all, he didn’t want to offend either Mu Lin or Nan Minhao. Of course, he didn’t want to upset Boss Li either. It was a dilemma either way.

Just then, Gao Hongqin, who had been standing on the side, suddenly spoke up, addressing them, "Young Master Nan, Boss Li, today is such a great day. Why don’t the two of you step back and let’s just put it aside for our... Xiao Wen’s sake, how about that?"

She had wanted to speak for herself, but neither she nor Ye Jianfeng mattered to Nan Minhao. However, Ye Xiwen was different.

After all, she was undoubtedly the protagonist of the day.

Gao Hongqin’s objective was clear; if Boss Li was dealt with by Nan Minhao, her goal wouldn’t be achieved.

If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t have had the courage to step forward.

Ye Jianfeng looked at her somewhat disapprovingly, but had to admit, Gao Hongqin was much smarter than him — she at least knew how to divert the subject at the right time.

Indeed, upon hearing the name Ye Xiwen, Nan Minhao no longer opposed Boss Li, which made him unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief and he gratefully glanced at Gao Hongqin.

However, the next moment, Nan Minhao suddenly looked at Gao Hongqin as if puzzled, "Oh, do tell me, why should I give Miss Ye face?" He was truly curious.

Before Gao Hongqin could speak, Ye Xirou suddenly interrupted, "My sister said, you two are friends." She was indeed curious to see how Nan Minhao would react to that.

Ye Xiwen gave the mother and daughter a cold glance and scoffed.

However, the outburst Ye Xirou was hoping for did not happen. Instead, Nan Minhao smiled slightly, "That’s right, had you not reminded me, I might have really forgotten that the Miss Ye is indeed a friend of mine." A sister-in-law’s friend, isn’t that his friend too?

As soon as Nan Minhao’s words fell, the sound of sharp intakes of breath spread throughout the crowd.

Could it be that Young Master Nan had come here condescendingly for Miss Ye of the Ye Family?
