Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 490 Smack!

" Third brother, what's going on?" The news that Su Wan was taken to the Yamen went around faster than the snowballs crashing. During the past few months, the three shops under Su Wan's name were becoming successful more and more which garnered a lot of irks from the shopkeepers in the town. Thus, when they found out about her downfall they were the happiest among the lot as they started to discuss what happened at Zhimei and it wasn't long before Lin Yu and Lin Yan heard what happened, after finding out that their wife was taken to Yamen they couldn't sit still and rushed to the yamen building at once but as the young lady from the Wang family was holding a grudge against Su Wan for harming her, she specifically left orders with yamen officers to not let her meet with anyone.

In the end, Lin Yan rushed to Lord Fei's house while Lin Yu went to look for Lin Chen, he was so mad that he even forgot to add a fake stutter, striding inside Lin Chen's office he glared at his third brother who was sitting in his chair like some traumatised child. At first, Lin Yu wanted to slap him awake but then he remembered what the manager told him and sighed before planting his hands on the table with a bang. "Third brother can you snap out of it? This is not the time for you to zone out like this!"

Lin Chen heard Lin Yu, he knew that he should be doing something instead of sitting on his chair like a worthless fool but he just couldn't bring himself to! He was suffering from a sense of defeat like he has never before, the sight of Su Wan being taken away by the yamen officers like she was some criminal. He couldn't get that sight out of his mind, why … why couldn't he do anything back then? Why was he standing like some fu*king idiot? Why couldn't he do anything?

He gripped his hair as he tugged on his hair strands, he could have done so many things to stop that from happening but he couldn't why couldn't he?

" I … I could have saved her," said Lin Chen, his mind completely blocked as he remembered how useless he was when it came to saving Su Wan, his wife saved him from going to the yamen while she went there despite being a woman… why … why didn't he go to the yamen and why did he keep standing like a fool? " I .. how can I be so use-"

Smack!

Lin Chen felt a stinging pain in his right cheek as his face turned to the opposite direction by the force of the impact, stunned he looked at Lin Yu who was massaging his wrist glancing down at him condescendingly " Are you awake? If you are then let's talk about the real problem, alright?" He nursed his fair wrist and muttered somewhat disgruntledly " Damn your skin sure is thick."

" Yu.. you slapped me?" Lin Chen was really shocked, even though he and Lin Yu fought a lot, the latter has never once raised his hand to him. It was at least shocking to Lin Chen that his younger brother ruthlessly smacked him and that too so ruthlessly!

" If you are going to talk nonsense that makes people hit you what can I do about it?" snapped Lin Yu staring at Lin Chen like he was looking at some sort of idiot. " there were so many things to deal with but instead you locked yourself in the room, you should be glad that manager Wenlan is a smart woman and barred anyone from leaving the shop before we came or else the consequences would have been dire. I get that what happened to you really surprised you and triggered an old memory that you didn't want to remember but - how can you forgo your bearing and the responsibilities that Wan Wan left you with? Aren't you asking for a beating?"

He placed his hand back on the table and leaned closer to Lin Chen so that the latter was forced to look him in the eye," do you know why Wan Wan thought of saving you instead of letting the yamen officers take you because she knew this was how you were going to react, that's why she went instead of you but look at you instead of helping her by flushing out the culprit, you are moping in your office. What are you doing third brother? Wan Wan entrusted her safety in your hands."

Lin Chen stared at Lin Yu and suddenly the dark clouds that were hanging over his head were slowly lifted, he looked at Lin Yu, as he hesitated and asked while clenching his fists, " Wan Wan .. doesn't she think of me as a useless husband? I couldn't even save her."

" If she wanted to think of you as a useless husband, then she would have done that after the day of her marriage with us, you haven't been what I would call useful anyway, so, what are you talking about?"

Lin Chen stiffened then he burst out laughing, that's right he wasn't like his brothers with extreme talents that were bursting out of him. He was an idiot who acted like he was just as good as his brothers but in the end, he was just an idiot…but Wan Wan still loved him as he was, he stopped laughing, and a soft smile decorated his lips, maybe this was fine too. There was no need for him to surpass his brothers in the pursuit of impressing Su Wan because, in the end, he was just an average guy with average skills. He stood up from his seat and cracked his neck as he walked towards the door to his office.

Lin Yu who saw a myriad of emotions flash in his brother's eyes was stunned, he indeed wanted his brother to snap out of his gloomy depression but he didn't anticipate that he was going to go crazy, following Lin Chen he asked: " where are you going?"

Lin Chen paused and turned around with his usual smile plastered on his face. " where else to catch the tail of the rat, who sent my wife to the yamen."

Lin Chen stared at his brother for a short while before he smiled and followed him, yeah this was his third brother.

" And Yu?"

" Yeah?"

" I just noticed that you stopped stuttering,"

" shut up, idiot third brother of mine."
