Why did Teacher Qin react this way? Lin Xiao Tian couldn't understand. Teacher Qin hadn't sought out Qin Yu Xiang for years. Yet this time, he actually suspected Lin Xiao Tian's identity. Even if Lin Xiao Tian truly wasn't Li Da Zhu, Teacher Qin shouldn't have reacted like this. A normal person would accept the fact that Lin Xiao Tian was Qin Yu Xiang's husband. But in reality, Teacher Qin was surprised by Lin Xiao Tian's appearance? Why surprised? Lin Xiao Tian guessed that Qin Yuan might have seen Li Da Zhu before, which was why she was surprised by Lin Xiao Tian.
"Lin Xiao Tian? I've never heard of you! Where is Li Da Zhu?" Qin Yuan continued to ask. Qin Yuan's unusual behavior also drew the attention of many people. The first to react was none other than Cheng Yu.
"Okay! I knew it! Yu Xiang, your husband's surname is Li, but now you've brought someone surnamed Lin. It's obvious you're lying!" Cheng Yu had also drunk a bit too much, so her words were more unrestrained. "Yu Xiang, you didn't hire someone to impersonate your husband, did you?" Cheng Yu added.
"No, I..." Qin Yu Xiang wanted to refute. But she suddenly remembered that she and Lin Xiao Tian were not a married couple in the first place, and for a moment, she didn't know how to refute Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu, seeing Qin Yu Xiang stammering, became even more convinced of her idea.
"What are you afraid to admit? If it is, it is, and if it isn't, it isn't. Can you not even acknowledge who your own husband is?" Cheng Yu pressed on. "Handsome guy! How much did Qin Yu Xiang pay you to impersonate her husband?" Cheng Yu then said to Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian looked at Cheng Yu, who seemed to have Qin Yu Xiang cornered, and found it a bit amusing. Where did this guy get so much free time? It was clearly someone else's private matter, and it didn't affect Cheng Yu at all, yet she questioned Qin Yu Xiang in a tone of upholding justice.
He recalled what Qin Yu Xiang had told him in the car, that she missed the time spent in Yuehai Village, but now it seemed Qin Yu Xiang might have been wishful thinking. She missed others, but others didn't miss her at all. They even made things difficult for her at every turn. Her former teacher was incredibly indifferent to her. Female acquaintances from the village were jealous of her. Male acquaintances lusted after her beauty. Some were old acquaintances, and some were truly not human!
"What business is it of yours?" Facing Cheng Yu's questioning, Lin Xiao Tian responded indifferently. Lin Xiao Tian's sudden change of attitude caught Cheng Yu off guard.
"Lin Xiao Tian, what are you doing? That's so rude!" Xiao Gang also stepped forward to support Cheng Yu.
"Who is being rude? No matter what, this is our private matter. Is it your place, as outsiders, to question it?"
"We're concerned about Yu Xiang. What's wrong with that?" Xiao Gang said with a superior tone.
"That's right, we're concerned about Yu Xiang. Yu Xiang is too naive. What if she's deceived?" Cheng Yu also reacted at this moment and began to employ her gossiping skills, even implying that Lin Xiao Tian was a骗子 (piànzi - scammer).
Lin Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes. Honestly, he was truly angry now. If you faced a group of people similar to you and were bullied, you might choose to endure for various reasons. But now, he was facing a group of frogs at the bottom of a well. Lin Xiao Tian had already shown great patience by tolerating them for so long, people who were afraid to park their Porsches together.
"May I ask how old your mothers are?" Lin Xiao Tian suddenly asked. Cheng Yu and Xiao Gang were both stunned.
"Why are you asking that? Why should I tell you?" Xiao Gang yelled.
"Exactly, you're such a strange person!" Cheng Yu immediately agreed.
"You guys are too rude! I'm concerned about your mothers' health. I know a little medicine, and if they need it, I can help, right?" Lin Xiao Tian mimicked their earlier tone. The two of them were stunned when they heard this.
"You... you dare to scold us?"
"I didn't, don't misunderstand me. I'm concerned about your mothers' health. How can you think that way?"
"You..." Xiao Gang was furious. Fueled by alcohol, he wanted to come up and hit Lin Xiao Tian. But before he could take a few steps, he shrank back.
"What is it?" Lin Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Gang, who had retreated shamefully, and watched him with amusement.
"Nothing, my leg is numb. I want to sit for a while. Is there a problem?" Xiao Gang continued to bluster.
"What are you doing? You're not going to hit someone, are you? I'm telling you, this is a society governed by law. If you do that, I'll call the police!" Cheng Yu, standing nearby, actually started to threaten Lin Xiao Tian.
"Cheng Yu, what nonsense are you talking about? Lin Xiao Tian didn't lay a hand on anyone!" Cheng Fei Fei immediately stood up to speak for Lin Xiao Tian.
"I'm just reminding you. In case some people go crazy later and bite people randomly, we'll have someone to call the police!" Cheng Yu said mischievously. Cheng Fei Fei was anxious and was about to retort when a hand stopped her.
"Yu Xiang?" Cheng Fei Fei looked at Qin Yu Xiang with confusion.
"I apologize everyone. I didn't expect this to cause unpleasantness."
"It's all my fault."
"Teacher Qin, I came today specifically to thank you, thank you for your care over the years." After speaking, she bowed deeply to Qin Yuan. Then, Qin Yu Xiang took Lin Xiao Tian's hand and whispered, "Xiao Tian, let's go! I'm a little tired." Lin Xiao Tian remained silent for a moment. But seeing the relieved smile on Qin Yu Xiang's face, Lin Xiao Tian finally nodded.
The door to the private room was opened, and Qin Yu Xiang walked out without looking back. From behind came Xiao Gang's sarcastic voice. "Lin Xiao Tian, don't forget to pay! We didn't say it was free for you too." After leaving the private room, Qin Yu Xiang pulled Lin Xiao Tian and walked away quickly.
"I didn't expect a man could be so despicable!" Qin Yu Xiang snorted coldly.
"Sister Yu Xiang, you just swore!" Lin Xiao Tian said with a grin. Qin Yu Xiang's face instantly turned red.
"I'm sorry, I lost control."
"Don't apologize! Sister Yu Xiang, you live too cautiously. You don't have to tolerate everything and everyone, especially people like this," Lin Xiao Tian looked at her. "And, you usually scold me quite often. Now, facing an outsider, you're gentler than you are with me. It's so unfair."
"Bad guy! You're just talking nonsense. When did I scold you?" Qin Yu Xiang pinched Lin Xiao Tian.
"Ouch! You just scolded me, and now you've forgotten. I know, your memory isn't very good." Lin Xiao Tian chuckled.
"Hate!" As the two were playfully bickering, a dry cough suddenly came from behind. Lin Xiao Tian turned his head and saw Cheng Fei Fei had also come out.
