Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 505 I forgot -

Chapter 505 I forgot -

"So who did you offend now?" asked Lin Yan his expression full of doubts as he stared at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen who was stared at by countless gazes felt his back getting soaked with cold sweat, wuwuwu. That's right who did he offend this time, he tugged at his hair inwardly as he tried to think about the people he offended but the thing was- he offended quite a lot of people!!
He couldn't just think of one name and the pressure that he was receiving from his brothers was making him tremble. This was why he hated to be the most mediocre one, their aura was just too classy for him to fight! Just look at how they were suppressing the mediocre him! Lin Chen turned to look at Su Wan who stared back at him, he wanted to mouth 'help me' but he also didn't want to drag Su Wan into his mess. So which one was it? The old shopkeeper that he gets entangled with? Or the young master who tried to grope the lady in the shop? Was it the old witch who called unnecessary names to the young lady just because the latter chose the rose-scented cream perfume? Or it was that batch of the young ladies to whom he refused to give a discount? Which one was it?
Lin Chen's list of 'people I have offended' wasn't short and he couldn't come up with a particular name. At first, everyone waited silently but after ten minutes of watching Lin Chen fret, Lin Jing couldn't help but frown, " did you offend so many people that you can't even count the number, is that it?"
Just as Lin Chen was thinking about how to make an excuse and get himself out of this situation, someone knocked on the front door. Lin Chen stood up from his chair and loudly exclaimed, " will you look at that? Someone is at the door! Let me go and see who it is!"
Then without waiting for anyone to stop him, he hurriedly ran away from the dining room. Lin Jing watched him go and then pointed at himself and asked, " Was I right?"
Lin Yan's lips twitched as he smiled, " looks like you were the eldest brother." Then he too stood up from his chair and said, "Let's go and see who is knocking on our door so late at night,"
Lin Chen, who rushed out of the room, pulled open the door with the biggest smile on his face after all this person was his saviour but one look at his saviour's face and his smile fell as he snapped angrily, " what are you doing here? Didn't we tell you that you and our family are separated, why are you here then? Go back, we don't welcome you!"
" no, wait!" Seeing that he was going to close the door, Zhang Xiaohui hurriedly tried to stop him. She grabbed the door and desperately begged, " wait, hear me out! I know who got you in trouble! At least listen to me before shutting the door."
Lin Chen didn't want to listen to a thing that Zhang Xiaohui have to say, the woman was a greedy witch. She would do anything to get her hands on money, there was no way he was going to listen to her nonsense and waste his time.
" Wait, Chen. If you don't listen to her now, you will regret it." Lin Zhi who came with Zhang Xiaohui noticed that the latter was having trouble, so she strode forward to help her out. " This is not a lie, we really know who did it. At least hear us out!"
Lin Chen didn't like Zhang Xiaohui but he did respect Lin Zhi, this aunt who used to sneak food from the kitchen from them before she was sold off as the concubine to an old man. Thus, even if he didn't want to talk to Zhang Xiaohui, he still pulled open the door and let the two women in, just as the two walked inside the rest of the Lin Family came over. Their gazes locked at Zhang Xiaohui for a second before they all ignored her collectively and greeted Lin Zhi.
" Aunt, what are you doing here?" Lin Yan didn't address Zhang Xiaohui as aunt, but neither Lin Zhi nor Zhang Xiaohui said a word, they knew that Zhang Xiaohui's deeds in the past weren't exactly deserving of being called aunt in law, so neither of them complained. Lin Yan was a bit surprised when he saw that Zhang Xiaohui was silent despite this disrespect, in the past she used to blow up at once. But now she was a lot restrained.
Lin Zhi pushed Zhang Xiaohui who was hiding behind her and said, " Xiaohui knows who is after the trouble that your shop is going through."
Once Lin Zhi said that everyone understood, what they were saying. Lin Yu turned to look at Zhang Xiaohui with a frown. " Uncle Ze is related to this matter, isn't he?"
Zhang Xiaohui looked at Lin Zhi before turning to look at Lin Yu and nodded, then she took a deep breath and spoke everything at once, " he has been leaving the house for the past few weeks and he didn't even tell me where he was going, it was only when I caught him hiding a bunch of silver taels under the bed did I realise that he was up to no good, I tried to ask him but he always said that he found work in the town but then I asked sister Zhi to follow him one day and we saw him going to the young master of Xing family-"
" Oh dang! How did I forget that itsy dick!" Lin Chen slapped his forehead and Lin Jing who was standing behind him slapped the back of his head before admonishing him, " Language!"
" Sorry, eldest brother."
Lin Jing shook his head, at the non-apologetic expression of his brother while Lin Yan looked at Lin Chen and said, " elaborate."
" ah well, it's like this" Lin Chen told everyone about how he fought by the time he finished everyone was astonished, Lin Rui glanced at his elder brother and asked the question that has been bothering him throughout the entire explanation in a hesitating voice, " but why did you fight him?"
Though Lin Chen said that Xing Bengt offended him but how does that small explanation suffice for this big of trouble?
Lin Chen's smile stiffened at his question, yes why did he fight Xing Bengt, what should he tell his brothers? Should he lie again since even if he told the truth Fang Tao would deny it just like his second sister did.. so he smiled once again as he opened his mouth, " I-"
But before he could finish, a soft voice cut him off. " he did that because of me."
