Chapter 459: 459 Seeing a person’s character when they are in a low point

Gu Yingzhou, mindful that this was his first time visiting as Tangtang’s boyfriend, wanted to leave the Lin Family with the impression of a gentle and dependable man. He restrained the chill about him throughout, as amiable as a noble gentleman under the warm sun above the clouds.

Upon hearing the word "slut" from Liu Guohui’s mouth, the smile at the corners of the man’s mouth completely vanished.

It was as if a switch had been flipped.

A wave of chilliness began to swirl around him.

He approached expressionlessly and reached out to grab Liu Guohui’s collar.

"Say that again," Gu Yingzhou demanded with an icy voice.

A pair of dark, bottomless eyes, more terrifying than the black fog beneath a cliff.

Liu Guohui shuddered all over, unable to suppress a shiver.

There was a frightening certainty that his neck might be snapped in the next second.

"No, nothing, I didn’t say... anything," his teeth chattered as he spoke tremblingly.

Pleased with the response, Gu Yingzhou reined in the lethal intent deliberately released, honed on the battlefield.

A corner of his mouth curved slightly as he landed a punch on Liu Guohui.

After striking him, he moved his wrist and said at a measured pace:

"I know you’re that blind ex-fiancé of Tangtang’s, and I have no interest in doing anything to you.

However, Tangtang is my girl now, and I don’t want you bothering her anymore, especially by saying anything unpleasant about her. Do you understand?"

Before he finished his last sentence, his intense gaze shot towards Liu Guohui, ice-cold and sharp.

Instinctively stepping back, Liu Guohui became as docile as the village watchdog, "I get it, I get it."

So terrified, he didn’t even dare to touch the wound on his face.

Satisfied, Gu Yingzhou nodded. Seeing him still standing there, he frowned and said, "Aren’t you going to apologize to my girl?"

Liu Guohui shuddered again.

He glanced at Lin Tang, who was watching Gu Yingzhou with a smile.

Biting the soft flesh inside his lip, he withstood the humiliation and apologized sincerely, "...I’m sorry."

"Mmm," Lin Tang responded indifferently, without sparing him a glance.

Liu Guohui, barely presentable to begin with, was now someone she cared even less to look at.

Feeling he had lost face, Liu Guohui picked up the towel he had dropped and ran off in a frenzy.

Wang Yuanchao, neck outstretched, called after him, "Liu Guohui, you haven’t finished your task yet, leaving now will cost you work points!"

With a laugh at Liu Guohui’s fall, the frustration he had been nursing finally dissolved.

The young man beside Wang Yuanchao bumped his arm and said with compassion:

"Yuanchao, it’s good to have vented your anger, but let’s not create enmity where none needs to exist, better to forgive when one can."

Living in the same village, it’s better not to carry grudges; neither family would look good with bad blood between them.

Busy with his hands, Wang Yuanchao replied, "You don’t need to tell me, I had planned to let this go."

"If Liu Guohui hadn’t repeatedly insulted my sister, would I, a grown man, have gone after him like that?"

His sister had finally got a job at the Sauce Factory, which had made her more outgoing and confident.

It should’ve been a cause for celebration.

But who would’ve thought—

Liu Guohui, failing to get a job there, took out his frustrations on others.

Not daring to offend the male Comrade, he targeted his sister Fangfang relentlessly.

He’d made the young girl so upset her eyes turned red like lightbulbs.

Seeing his sweet and kind sister mistreated, how could Wang Yuanchao stand by without retaliating against Liu Guohui?

Lin Tang knew Wang Yuanchao’s sister as the girl who had worked tirelessly to earn a place at the Sauce Factory, and she admired any woman who strived to change her life through hard work.

Learning about Wang Fang being ridiculed by Liu Guohui, Lin Tang’s brows knitted together.

"Liu Guohui mocked Comrade Wang Fang? Why? He has no right!"

An aunt from the village who knew some of the backstory quickly interjected, "What else? It’s all down to jealousy. He can’t bear that a woman, who didn’t even finish elementary school, surpassed him."

While feeling that it was unfortunate and somewhat pitiable for Liu Guohui, Lin Tang thought he had acted in poor taste by bullying another Comrade and condemned such behavior.

Lin Tang was puzzled and even profoundly shaken.

Her memory of Liu Guohui was that he was a bit vain, a bit haughty, a bit sour-spoken... but never this shameless.

On second thought, she understood the reason.

This was probably what they mean by ’true colors show in adversity.’

Human nature is the hardest to test.

When one is bogged down in the mire, unable to extricate oneself, the ugliness of human nature magnifies by multiples.

"Comrade Wang Fang is outstanding. I hope she won’t be affected," Lin Tang said.

From the back of the crowd, Wang Fang, who had come to bring water to her brother, happened to hear this. Her nose suddenly felt sour, and she nearly burst into tears.

However, she remembered the person she admired, who hadn’t shed a single tear even after her university admission notice had been stolen.

With that in mind, she held back her tears.

When Wang Yuanchao turned and saw his sister, he waved to her, "Xiaofang, did you hear that? Even Lin Tang, whom you admire, is telling you not to think too much about it.

"Stop crying by yourself at night. You keep your nephew up crying with you..."

His words brought laughter from the brigade members who were chatting and working.

They looked over with good-natured smiles.

"Oh, still a young girl with thin skin, she hides and cries under the covers just from a few harsh words. She’s such a tender-hearted little thing."

"What young girl hasn’t been through that? It’s natural!"

"Hey, Xiaofang, if you have problems, talk to your family. Your brother is worried about you. He almost reduced Liu Guohui to tears earlier, just to stand up for you."

...

With flushed cheeks, Wang Fang felt a warmth in her heart.

"...I know," she replied.

Wang Yuanchao leaned over, nudging Wang Fang lightly, "Xiaofang, don’t you have something to say to Lin Tang?

"Hurry up. Lin Tang is a very busy person. You wouldn’t see her if her boyfriend hadn’t visited. Normally, you wouldn’t have this chance."

Ah, his sister was great in all aspects, except for her shyness.

Pushed by her brother to the front of Lin Tang, Wang Fang’s face turned even redder.

She didn’t really have anything to say; she just wanted to express her thanks.

"Comrade Lin Tang, I, I... thank you," Wang Fang stammered, clasping her fingers together.

Lin Tang was surprised, "Hm? Thank me? For what?"

Wang Fang summoned the courage to look up and said softly, "Thank you for suggesting the Sauce Factory, for giving the brigade the sauce recipe, and for giving me a job..."

Lin Tang laughed and shook her head, "You don’t need to thank me. The Sauce Factory’s establishment is the result of everyone’s collective effort.

"Moreover, I didn’t give you the job. You earned it through your own hard work. Don’t dismiss your sweat as if it didn’t exist. You’re doing great!"

For a girl who was committed to changing her life, Lin Tang had infinite patience.

Seeing the person she had always looked up to say these words made Wang Fang visibly happy.

Her eyes sparkled, and, with lips pursed and face blushing, she nodded earnestly, "Yes, I will keep working hard."

Lin Tang clenched her fist to cheer on Wang Fang, "Keep it up!"
