Noble Marriage

20: Chapter 20 My Daughter’s Things 20: Chapter 20 My Daughter’s Things That despicable man, did he really think that just because of the Du couple, she would submit?

She straightened her clothes and said indifferently, “I’m coming down now.”

Downstairs, Mrs.

Du and Mr.

Du were seated on the sofa with an air of arrogance, as if they were the masters of the house.

Lin Xinlan walked down, intending to take a seat, when Mrs.

Du’s fierce eyes glanced over and she said sternly, “Stand up!

You’re not allowed to sit!”

Lin Xinlan really wanted to say, on what grounds.

After thinking it over, she held it in.

She had harmed their daughter, and it was natural for them to be angry.

Forget it, she wouldn’t go against them and save herself their endless trouble.

Lin Xinlan thought they would say something to her, but who knew the two of them would just keep drinking tea, slowly at that, without saying a word to her.

She stood there foolishly, wanting to leave but unable to, wanting to speak yet not knowing what to say.

And the Du couple kept their cool, not giving her a single glance or saying anything.

Quickly, an hour had passed.

Lin Xinlan’s legs were numb from standing when she was just about to say, “If there’s nothing else, I’m going upstairs.”

Mrs.

Du timely said, “Take us to your room for a look.”

Lin Xinlan was startled, and Mrs.

Du raised her voice, “Didn’t you hear me?!

We want to see your room, to see if you, a cheap wretch, are sleeping in my daughter’s room, on my daughter’s bed!

To see if you really have no shame, after hurting my daughter, not only sleeping in her bed but also sleeping with her man!”

Lin Xinlan felt a tightness in her chest, rather uncomfortable.

She endured and said indifferently, “I haven’t slept in her room, and I’ve not been living with Rong Shaoze.”

“You think we’ll believe you just because you said so?

We want to see with our own eyes!”

Lin Xinlan had no choice but to lead them upstairs.

Her bedroom was neither too large nor too small, with very ordinary furnishings, and there were few things in the room.

“Look, this is the room I live in.” She gestured for them to look.

Thinking that they would let her be after seeing the room, who knew Mrs.

Du would survey the room sharply with a critical eye.

“This thing, it was chosen by my daughter, how can you use it?!

Husband, smash it!” Mrs.

Du pointed at the dressing table and said coldly.

Mr.

Du stepped forward without a word, pushed over the dressing table, and everything on it fell to the ground, scattering all over.

Lin Xinlan’s heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her lips tightly, saying nothing.

“And these curtains, they were also chosen by my daughter!

This color is her favorite, how dare you use it?!” Saying this, Mrs.

Du stepped forward and viciously tore the curtains down, not satisfied until she had trampled on them several times.

“And these clothes are all designer brands, can you afford them?

You’re just picking up what my daughter has worn, right?

Hmph, you think you’re worthy to wear them!” With that, the clothes were all cut up with scissors.

“And this bed, it’s also my daughter’s, you’re not worthy to use it.” The sheets and bedding were cut up as well, and the bed was punctured, leaving several holes through which the cotton and springs inside were exposed.

The couple, like invaders, swept through the room, leaving no spot untouched.

Lin Xinlan stood still the whole time, unmoved.

Her complexion was pale, showing no signs of anger.

She cast her eyes downward, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After the Du couple had wreaked havoc, seeing her like this was as frustrating as punching cotton.

But they had promised Rong Shaoze not to lay hands on her anymore.

Holding back, Mrs.

Du stepped forward and harshly cursed her as a “cheap wretch” before taking her husband and leaving.

Lin Xinlan sat on the chaotic bed, sitting still for a very long time.
