Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 857 - This Evil Lady Must Be...

Lin Hui heard Yue Ling's warning, and he turned around. Although he was late seeing the middle-aged woman, he was able to push Xu Long away and take a big step back.

He attempts to dodge what the woman threw at him. However, the scorching liquid that escaped from the tumbler landed on his arm that had pushed Xu Long away.

"Ugh..."

His jaw tightens at the pain, and he glares at the woman.

Due to him wearing a leather jacket, he didn't feel much pain on his arm, but his bare hand did not escape the burning hot liquid.

"It's all your fault!"

The woman bellowed with rage and threw the silver tumbler at Lin Hui. She points at him, and one can see immense hatred in her eyes.

"You're the one who ruined my daughter's date! You're the reason why the Chen family is so angry with us!"

Lin Hui was able to dodge the tumbler. The clanking of the tumbler hitting the ground echoed in the parking lot, but his eyes focused on the woman.

He didn't know who this woman was or why she was blaming him. However, once she mentioned the word daughter and the Chen family, he was able to connect the dots.

This evil lady must be Qin Xue's mother.

His eyes darkened, and he sent the woman a bone-chilling glare.

"Before you attack someone, you should find out the truth first."

Madam Qin scoffs in disbelief. She was on her way to see the Chen family and explain why her daughter and Chen Xincheng's date didn't go well.

However, one of the police officers called her that Lin Hui had showed up at the police station.

She came here because she wanted to see the man who ruined her daughter's chance at finding a potential husband.

Her nostrils flared, and her body shook uncontrollably.

"If you're not to blame, then who? If you had minded your own business, my daughter wouldn't have to be humiliated like this. She wouldn't have to step foot inside the police station!"

The corner of Lin Hui's mouth twitched with no intentions of stopping.

He stares at Madam Qin like she is the biggest idiot in the world.

Instead of thanking him, who saved their daughter from being another of Chen Xincheng's victims, he was being blamed.

He felt the pain in his hand and scoffs a sarcastic chuckle at Madam Qin.

"Is this some prank? Your daughter was being pressured against her will, so I helped her. In the end, this is what I get?"

Madam Qin did not see Lin Hui as her daughter's savior but as a hooligan. She scowled at his appearance and raised her chin.

"I will not tolerate a hooligan like you. I know that when you saw my daughter in trouble, you took that chance to intervene. It's your fault that my Qin family is on the verge of having a falling out with the Chen family."

Lin Hui was at a loss. Not because he couldn't say anything but because he couldn't comprehend the situation.

Before he could think any further, Madam Qin points to the police station.

"Go inside and tell the police that it was your fault. You tricked my daughter into thinking you were trying to save her in order to claim a reward."

Lin Hui's eyes turned colder than a frozen lake in the winter. He remained in place without the intention of moving at all.

When did he ever ask for a reward from anyone?

Seeing that he wasn't going to move, Madam Qin's face grew red from her anger. She stomps her

foot hard against the ground and storms over to Lin Hui.

Her right arm raises, and she slaps him across the face.

"A good-for-nothing like you shouldn't be walking freely in this world!"

However, before her hand could reach an inch of Lin Hui's face, a slender hand grabs her wrist.

Rage flowed through Yue Ling like lava. She shoves Madam Qin's arm

away and eyes smoldered with resentment glared at her.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

Madam Qin's eyes shook when she saw that the person who stopped her was Yue Ling. She takes a step away and straightens her coat.

"Good, since you are my daughter's friend, why don't you bear witness."

She points to Lin Hui and puts on a pitiful expression.

"He's the reason why my Xue 'er has to suffer such embarrassment."

Yue Ling kept a calm composer as she stared at Madam Qin. She felt disgusted by everything Madan Qin had said and the way she (Madam Qin) acted.

However, seeing the woman putting on a pitiful act, she smiles.

"It's a shame that Qin Xue has a mother such as yourself."

She was raised to have good judgment on others. Whether if they were born from a prominent family or not, she needed to have an open eye.

The woman in front of her was from a wealthy family, but her personality was just as bad as Liu Peng, who was from a lower-income family.

Instead of finding out the truth, Madam Qin played victim and pointed fingers at Lin Hui. Like Liu Peng, who couldn't find his standing and pointed at his children for his misfortune.

Seeing the similarities in the two people, she scoffs in displeasure. She takes a step forward and closes the distance between her and Madam Qin.

"Your daughter was suffering because of your selfish decisions, yet, here you are putting the blame on another. You should be ashamed of yourself for acting like this."

Madam Qin did not expect Yue Ling to oppose her. She clenches her fists tightly and inhales a deep breath that made her body tremble.

"Why are you siding with that hooligan? Are you trying to be enemies with my Qin family?"

She knows that Yue Ling has the backing of Grandfather Ji and the Lu family.

However, why is she helping a good-for-nothing person?

Her Qin family is well-known throughout Imperial. A few tears from her, and she can reconcile with the Chen family. Not only that, others will take her side instead of believing someone like Lin Hui.

Yue Ling saw through the woman's thoughts and smirked.

"The only person trying to make an enemy is you."

It is true that she has the backing of her grandfather, General Ji, along with the backing of Lu Tian and the Lu family. However, even without the support of them, she is capable of dealing with her own problems.

She took one step forward and stood half a foot away from Madam Qin.

Her bluish-green eyes darken a shade as she stares down at the woman.

"You are a mother and a woman from a good family. You should be setting a good example for the younger generation, not acting like a inhuman person. Also, the hooligan you are accusing happens to be a member of MY family."

She made sure to emphasize the word 'my'. Her words entered Madam Qin's ears and made the woman's legs go weak.

However, not leaving any room for the woman to retaliate, her words continued.

"If you want to put the blame on him, I dare you to do it."

She leans closer to the middle-aged woman, and a devilish smile flashes across her angelic face.

"But keep this mind, whether it is your Qin family or the Chen family, I will never let anyone off for being discourteous towards my family."

After all, she had already gotten rid of Chen Limei, the sole support of the Chen family. If the Chen family wants to cross her line again, she doesn't mind making their life harder than it already is now.

Of course, this includes the Qin family.
