Chapter 117 Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on.
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Mubai knew something was wrong.
Isn't that... my cousin's voice?
He walked quickly toward the source of the sound, and Lu Zijing and Tiantian followed curiously.
As soon as Jiang Mubai stepped out of the courtyard gate, he saw his arrogant and domineering cousin Jiang Muqi leading a group of people to surround Lin Shu and his companion.
Jiang Muqi even tried to make a move on Su Qing, saying, "Oh, this young lady is quite pretty. Why don't you come with me and live a life of luxury? You don't have to work so hard and have to find food yourself."
"As for this ugly hag, let her reluctantly become my foot-washing maid. What do you think, beauty?"
The others joined in the laughter, their eyes filled with lewdness as they looked at Su Qing.
Su Qing had never suffered such humiliation before. Her face darkened immediately. "Get out. Don't make me say it a second time, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"Oh my, this beauty can even get angry, she's really stunning. How long has it been since we've seen such a beautiful girl?" Jiang Muqi became increasingly audacious.
Su Qing's fists cracked with rage. "Despicable and shameless, I'll kill you..."
Before Su Qing could finish speaking, she heard Jiang Muqi scream in her ear.
"what……"
Lin Shu acted swiftly, giving Jiang Muqi no chance to catch her breath.
Seeing this, Jiang Mubai became anxious and quickened his pace, shouting as he went, "Doctor Lin, spare their lives!"
He wasn't afraid that Lin Shu would kill Jiang Muqi, but rather that he was afraid of dirtying Lin Shu's hands.
However, his voice came too late; Lin Shu hadn't considered whether Jiang Muqi would survive when he made his move.
By the time she heard Jiang Mubai's voice, Jiang Muqi's arm had already been dislocated.
She looked at Jiang Mubai running towards her with an innocent expression, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
Jiang Mubai was speechless.
Jiang Mubai glanced at Jiang Muqi, who was lying on the ground half-dead, with a complicated expression, before looking at Lin Shu again.
Having spent so much time with Lin Shu, how could he not understand Lin Shu?
Lin Shu is a person who can be either good or bad. You can say she's a good person, and she is; you can say she's a bad person, and she can kill without blinking an eye.
It mainly depends on how important you are to her.
It's clear that Jiang Muqi has crossed Lin Shu's bottom line.
He knew that his cousin usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly because of the family's power, and that his current predicament was the result of his own actions.
But he didn't want to implicate Lin Shu and the other woman, so to avoid causing them trouble, he braced himself and said, "Doctor Lin, Miss Su, this is my cousin Jiang Muqi. If he has offended you, please be lenient for my sake."
Lin Shu lightly patted the dust off his hands, his expression indifferent. "Since he's your cousin, you should have your clan keep an eye on him, so he doesn't embarrass himself here again."
Su Qing, who was initially filled with anger, gradually calmed down after Lin Shu started hitting her without making a sound.
Instead, her eyes were filled with emotion as she looked at Lin Shu.
That brat! She thought she didn't care about her, but she actually hit her.
In a good mood, she unusually refrained from making a fuss, saying, "Since he's your cousin, I'll let him off this time for your sake."
However, some people just don't know what's good for them.
For example, neither Jiang Muqi nor Lin Shu intended to argue with him, but he stubbornly provoked them.
"So these two shrewish women were brought back by you, you little bastard! Let me tell you, if they dare to lay a hand on me, this isn't over. I'll definitely tell my father and make him avenge me. You just wait!" Jiang Muqi lay on the ground, the excruciating pain in his arm contorting his face, but he still continued to berate his father.
Upon hearing this, Su Qing frowned, her anger, which had just subsided, threatening to reignite. "You really don't know what's good for you. We're all being magnanimous and not holding it against you, but you're taking advantage of our kindness, aren't you?"
Lin Shu gently pulled Su Qing, signaling her to calm down, and then slowly walked up to Jiang Muqi, squatted down, and said with a cold, icy look in his eyes, "My name is Lin Shu. If you want to settle accounts, I'm ready anytime, but you won't be so lucky next time."
Jiang Muqi was so intimidated by Lin Shu's imposing presence that she was speechless for a moment. She could only stare at Lin Shu with wide eyes, filled with resentment.
Seeing this, Jiang Mubai quickly said to his junior brothers beside him, "Aren't you going to help your cousin back? Are you going to leave him here to die?"
The group of people then came to their senses and quickly lifted Jiang Muqi up from the ground.
Supported by the crowd, Jiang Muqi grimaced in pain, but still managed to glare fiercely at Lin Shu, determined to get revenge for what had just happened.
Lin Shu smiled calmly, a smile full of provocation.
Only after Jiang Muqi and the others disappeared from their sight did Jiang Mubai apologize with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, I made you suffer."
"It's okay, but judging from the way you look, you're not often bullied by them, are you?" Su Qing asked this question with a lot of certainty.
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow and looked at him thoughtfully.
Feeling guilty under their gazes, Jiang Mubai didn't hide anything, saying, "You'll get used to it."
“Brother Jiang, they are bad people. You don’t have to tolerate them. How about I ask Tiger Mom to help you get revenge?” Lu Zijing came to his side with Tian Tian and comforted him.
Lu Zijing's words instantly broke Jiang Mubai's defenses.
His eyes were red as he reached out and rubbed Lu Zijing's head. "Thank you, Ajin, but this is my family matter. I believe you can handle it."
Su Qing patted Jiang Mubai's shoulder lightly, "Although we haven't known each other for long, we are friends. Friends should help each other. If you need anything in the future, just ask."
Lin Shu wasn't used to saying such sentimental things, and simply added, "Looks like I let him off easy by breaking his arm just now."
"So what do you want?" Su Qing asked curiously when she heard her suddenly say this.
“I should have made him a cripple,” Lin Shu said.
One sentence sent a chill down their spines.
Su Qing shivered, her face still showing lingering fear.
Jiang Mubai looked at them with gratitude.
Since his parents passed away, no one has cared for him like this for a long time.
Although his grandfather also loved him, he was the head of the family and could not show too much favoritism, and he could not openly intervene in some matters.
This is why he opened a clinic in a small town.
Because he didn't want to clash with Jiang Muqi, he voluntarily left his home, leaving it to them.
He wouldn't have come back this time if it weren't for Lin Shu and the others.
"Thank you all. With friends like you, I, Jiang Mubai, have no regrets in this life."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on," Lin Shu said, and then walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
