Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 688: Lin Rui is back

" Ah Rui!" Su Wan's face that has been sullen because of Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng's arrival lit up like a little sun, the second her gaze fell on Lin Rui. Maybe it was because of his stay at the county town with headmaster Yuan but he looked even more dashing and handsome than he did before, with his long hair carefully tied up with a golden hairpin, he left a bit of his fringes to dangle on his forehead causing him to look even more charming than ever. " You are here!"          

    

Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng's expressions changed when they saw that one of Su Wan's husbands has returned. They came after finding out that the Shen family have to return to the capital along with Grandma Shen since they had something to do in the capital and as for the Lin brothers they were all busy with the upcoming spring festival. That was why they were not worried about causing trouble to Su Wan but now …one of those brats actually returned so soon what now? What were they supposed to do now?      

" Wan Wan," Lin Rui called back, a doting smile etched on his face as he increased his pace and softly said, " Don't stand up, I will come and see you by myself."      

Su Wan was on the verge of standing up but after hearing Lin Rui's words, she calmly sat back down. It wasn't that she was too spoiled but after hitting Madam Chu left and right, she was indeed feeling a bit tired. After getting pregnant she was no longer as active as she was before and what was more she even have to care about the child in her belly. That was why she couldn't move as freely as she could before, so after taking care of Madam Chu, Su Wan was indeed sweating a little.      

Noticing the drops of sweat covering Su Wan's forehead, Lin Rui's brows furrowed, he turned to the maid that was standing behind her. " Why haven't you brought a cup of hot water for the madam? Can't you see that she is sweating this badly already?"      

The maid bowed deeply before she walked towards the kitchen that was located at the centre of the mansion. Once the maid left, Lin Rui turned to look at Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng, his face was still as gentlemanly as it was before but as he turned to look at the two people in front of him.      

" What are you doing here?" He asked, his voice as gentle as the soft breeze but something about his voice seemed to have been carrying a threat, that was hard to miss. Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng huddled close ever so slightly as they both turned to look at the man in front of them, Lin Rui was supposed to have the softest temper among all brothers but at the moment he looked the scariest of all.      

" I …"      

" They came here to ask me to pay filial piety to them," replied Su Wan before Madam Chu could say anything, she arched a brow at the cold glare that was directed her way and said, " What? Is it not the reason why you came to see me? If you came looking for me because you wanted to congratulate me then where are the gifts? Don't tell me that you came to congratulate me empty-handed?"      

" That…"     

Madam Chu was so angry that her liver turned green, why will she bring gifts for this b!tch? If she had money to spare then she might as well buy something nice for her son to eat! She originally wanted to bully Su Wan into giving her money but now that one of her husbands was back and she was so emboldened to the point where she might as well go against the heavens, Madam Chu wasn't so certain anymore.  Even if the law was by her side if Su Wan wasn't scared then what was she supposed to do? Steal it from her?      

Maybe if she had the guts to do something like this, she would have tried to do it but Madam Chu did not have the courage to go against Su Wan, not after being beaten up so badly like this.      

She didn't say anything but Su Yu Cheng didn't want to let go of Su Wan that easily after all if he didn't get the money from her then it will be him who would be bullied by those thugs, they will definitely create trouble for him if he wasn't able to pay them back. Even if he couldn't get the house and extra taels to live comfortably, he still has to think of a way to make sure that he will be able to repay the debt that he currently owed, or else those loansharks will break each of his limbs as interest.      

" I don't want to make things difficult for the two of you," Su Yu Cheng was scared of being beaten again but he was more afraid of being targeted by those thugs. That was why he pursed his lips and looked at Su Wan and Lin Rui as he said, " But at least give me a hundred taels, if …if you give me those hundred taels then I will never show my face in front of you ever again."      

Su Wan scoffed. This boy really knew how to ask for things, just because of the law he thought that he can do anything doesn't he? Did she look like she was terrified of the law? Worst come to worst, she was willing to fight until the net broke or the fish die, how dare he ask for money from her!      

Lin Rui calmly smiled as he looked at Su Yu Cheng. " My dear brother-in-law, it's true that there is a law that says that the younger generation have to be filial to their elders——"     

" You heard that?" Su Yu Cheng pointed to Lin Rui and turned to look at Su Wan excitedly.  " There is indeed a law like this, now what do you have to say for yourself?"
