Chapter 759 - 091 Clarification, The Person Behind the Scenes_4
"You, who—who are you calling your cousin! Stop making false claims to kinship!" Lin Siyu regretted her outburst as soon as she spoke. She had intended never to admit their relationship, but considering they had almost grown up together, how could Lin Yuan not recognize her voice?
Lin Yuan gave a faint smile, "That’s right, we have severed ties and are no longer relatives! Since that’s the case, Maternal Aunt Lin doesn’t need to be so polite, no need to send me any more gifts."
Lin Siyu’s hands tightened around her handkerchief. She could not even bother to take issue with the address of Maternal Aunt Lin anymore, trying hard to make her voice sound calmer, "A gift? Hmmph, Lin Yuan, aren’t you overestimating yourself? Who would send you a gift? Stop trying to glorify yourself!"
"Really? I thought those few good-for-nothing ruffians who recently made a scene were a gift sent by Maternal Aunt Lin, but it seems I was mistaken. Oh dear, I had assumed they were your men, so out of respect for you, I let them off. But since Maternal Aunt Lin says they’re not your people, I guess I have to have them captured and brought to the Yamen for a good interrogation."
With that, Lin Yuan turned and instructed Lin Yi, "Lin Yi, go fetch them..."
"Stop!"
Lin Yuan’s lips curved into a cold smile, her eyes turning frostier as she looked toward the carriage. She had thought that those spreading rumors earlier were up to no good, perhaps the machinations of a competing restaurant, but now she realized the person stabbing her in the back was Lin Siyu!
"Do you admit it?" Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes; even in the darkness, her gaze remained sharp and unyielding.
Now, Lin Siyu found herself with no good options, neither admitting nor evading responsibility. If she admitted it, she wasn’t sure whether this vicious woman would storm in and cut her down. But evading the issue was even worse because if this vicious woman sent those men to the Yamen, it would be disastrous; those men had been procured for her by Li Chengzhi. Though Li Chang was old, he wasn’t a fool. A little investigation would reveal her connection with Li Chengzhi.
