Chapter 499: Chapter 499: The Man with a Pier

"Smack!"

The sound of a stick hitting flesh reverberated throughout the hall.

Seeing the person who stood in front of Jiang Yuting, Jiang Lingfeng was stunned.

This time, he truly hadn’t held back.

But Lu Feifei had taken the blow with her back, enduring it staunchly.

"Feifei, what are you doing!"

Jiang Lingfeng quickly retracted his cane, anxiously looking at Lu Feifei.

Although they hadn’t interacted much, he really liked this girl.

Diligent and decisive in her work, and clever and sociable in her dealings with people.

This time, she had even sacrificed herself to protect Jiang Yuting.

"Godfather, my sister hasn’t offended me. It’s just my bad temper. I didn’t want others to say I climbed up the Jiang Family for their wealth, so I burned the agreement in a fit of anger. It really has nothing to do with my sister."

Lu Feifei, enduring the pain, turned her head towards Jiang Lingfeng and squeezed out a faint smile.

"Feifei, I know you are sensible, but you can’t keep spoiling her like this."

Jiang Lingfeng could naturally tell truths from lies.

Given what he knew about Jiang Yuting.

She must have done something even more despicable.

"Godfather, I’m telling the truth; it was just a moment of impulsiveness. I apologize to you for my behavior. You’re just recovering from a serious illness and should take care of yourself. Please, don’t be angry anymore."

Lu Feifei’s words made it impossible for Jiang Lingfeng to stay angry.

At that moment, Lin Fan, wearing a smile on his face, spoke up.

"Alright, let the sisters handle their own matters. I haven’t had breakfast yet, and there’s a decent steamed bun shop nearby. Let’s just have a quick bite. For lunch, Qi Qi is planning to cook something as a way of thanking you for the treasure you gifted yesterday. After we eat, we can come back and have tea."

"Fine, I’ll listen to my younger brother."

Jiang Lingfeng sighed.

He then glared fiercely at Jiang Yuting once more.

Before turning to follow Lin Fan out the door.

Jiang Yuting just stood there foolishly the entire time.

Completely at a loss for what to do next.

"If you have no place to go, you can sit here for a while. If you want to look around, feel free to wander. There will be delicious dishes at noon; consider it a welcome for you."

Lu Feifei didn’t address Jiang Yuting again.

After speaking, she turned and walked upstairs.

"The boss just took a big hit."

"It’s not worth it for such a person!"

Zi Shu and Mao Tu stood to the side, glaring indignantly at Jiang Yuting.

It took her a long time to come to her senses and she began to walk upstairs.

Because earlier, Lu Feifei had told her she could move around freely.

Zi Shu and Mao Tu were resentful but couldn’t stop her.

They could only watch helplessly as Jiang Yuting ascended the stairs.

"Bang!"

Jiang Yuting pushed open the door to the General Manager’s office forcefully.

Lu Feifei was already there, with her collar undone, revealing her perfect jade back.

However, that enchanting back was now marred with a dark bruise from the stick.

"Didn’t godfather teach you that you must knock before entering a door? Don’t you even understand such a simple rule?"

Lu Feifei glared at Jiang Yuting.

She then proceeded to take the first aid kit from the desk.

It contained antiseptics like iodine and also special aloe vera gel.

Which was very effective for bruises.

"Why did you take that blow for me? Do you think I’m pathetic? I just want to tell you, I don’t need your false kindness. I can take a beating, and I don’t need anyone’s pity!"

Jiang Yuting walked up to Lu Feifei, furious.

In other people’s eyes, Mr. Jiang was kind, compassionate,

and also a super successful entrepreneur.

But as his child, Jiang Yuting was very clear about his violent side.

Not just her, even her older and second brothers had suffered his harsh beatings from childhood.

Even though he was highly educated with studies abroad, he still firmly believed.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child."

So, this wasn’t the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"I don’t pity you, nor do I need to pity anyone else, because for a wild child who grew up on the streets, this kind of thing isn’t even worth mentioning."

Lu Feifei didn’t even glance at Jiang Yuting.

Instead, she expertly went through all the procedures.

After all, she had learned to treat her own wounds since she was five.

"Wild child? You don’t have parents?"

Jiang Yuting was taken aback.

Lu Feifei’s way of speaking was completely different from what she had imagined.

"What use would those things be? But you should feel lucky, at least you only get hit by your dad. But when I was little, anyone could hit me, bully me. When you’re weak, even drinking swill is wrong."

Lu Feifei took a deep breath.

Only she knew what she had gone through to be alive today.

"So what now? Did you get revenge on all those people?"

Jiang Yuting was born with a golden key in her mouth.

She naturally couldn’t understand such things.

But Lu Feifei’s words had already piqued her curiosity.

"Why seek revenge? What wrong did they do?"

Lu Feifei lifted her head.

This question made even Jiang Yuting flinch.

"They bullied you, and you don’t seek revenge? Isn’t that very unjianghu?"

"Jianghu... Haha, what is jianghu? Don’t bring chivalrous fictions into real life. Weakness is the original sin. When you’re weak, you should be bullied; otherwise, who would want to become strong? Don’t always expect a hero to protect you. Being strong on your own is true strength. Of course, there are some people who should be avenged; otherwise, why would I want to become strong?"

Lu Feifei had her back to the mirror.

Gently dabbing the bruises with a cotton swab.

"So who did you get revenge on?"

Jiang Yuting looked at Lu Feifei with curiosity.

But she just smiled lightly.

"Some things, I’ve long forgotten. After all, once you reach a certain status, things like revenge don’t even need to occupy your mind. Plus, there were too many people who bullied me in the past. Sometimes even I can’t remember all of them, so it’s not important. If you really want to know why I protected you, maybe it’s because, in that moment, I saw the frail me from those years, and I understood why my sister protected me back then."

Lu Feifei took a deep breath.

Yet her eyes were already moist.

Just now, for a moment, she seemed to see her sister sacrificing herself to protect her.

"I’m sorry for making you sad. Oh, there’s something I have to tell you!"

Jiang Yuting might be a bit naive, but she also saw the sadness in Lu Feifei.

She didn’t dare to ask further and suddenly remembered the smug Lin Fan.

That scumbag was just too disgusting.

"That man of yours... the one surnamed Lin, don’t you know how trashy he is? This morning I saw him sitting in a car with another woman, and that woman’s makeup was smeared. Based on my experience, I can be sure that they were together last night, so the woman didn’t even have time to fix her makeup..."

"What are you trying to say with all this?"

Lu Feifei looked at Jiang Yuting unconcernedly.

"I’m trying to tell you that this scumbag seems to be playing you. You can’t let him deceive you."

Jiang Yuting was serious.

In contrast, Lu Feifei had a mischievous smile.

She whispered in her ear, "Then I can also tell you something, he’s married, but I’m not his wife."

These words left Jiang Yuting in shock, not knowing what to think.

But what Lu Feifei said next shattered her worldview even more.

"How about that, thrilling, huh? And I can tell you that he isn’t just playing two boats, but a whole pier."
