Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 184 - : Evil Intentions Never Die
Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Evil Intentions Never Die
As Ting Yang watched Lin Xu’s figure blocking his path, the corners of his lips involuntarily curled upwards, forming an attractive arc.
Lin Xu first anxiously checked him over, and only after not seeing any wounds on his body did her suspended heart finally settle down.
“I’m really not hurt,” Ting Yang reassured softly as he held her hand.
Shortly thereafter, Xie Changyan also came forward from the crowd of onlookers and asked, “What happened?”
“Ting Yang almost got hit,” Lin Xu couldn’t help but complain to the father of her child as someone had grabbed Ting Yang’s collar.
However, Xie Changyan had no intention of defending Ting Yang and spoke with a tone of disdain, “Got hit? That useless?”
...
The smile on Ting Yang’s lips vanished instantly, the veins on his forehead twitched, and his eyes turned cold.
The retort swirled in his throat, but because Lin Xu was present, he reluctantly swallowed it back down.
Noticing Ting Yang’s darkened expression, Lin Xu secretly nudged Xie Changyan to stop him from mocking Ting Yang.
Xie Changyan chuckled lightly, grabbing her restless hand and pulling her to his side, “All right, no harm done, no need to be so tense.”
Seeing Lin Xu being led away by Xie Changyan, Ting Yang’s face grew even colder, and frustration swirled within him.
“Hiss.” He gasped, clutching his arm.
Lin Xu was startled, “What’s wrong?”
His eyes flickered slightly, “I might be hurt…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xu hurried back to Ting Yang’s side, “Where are you hurt? Let me see!”
The sourness in his chest was dispelled by her constant concern, and Ting Yang’s expression brightened from gloomy to sunny.
Lin Xu, still searching for the injury, muttered, “Where could it be?”
“It’s, it’s…” Ting Yang faltered, and finally, under Lin Xu’s urging, he pointed to a red mark on his forearm the size of a fingernail.
Lin Xu: “…”
Xie Changyan heard and silently laughed at what seemed like a joke, his voice filled with mockery, “Surely you didn’t pinch that mark yourself just now?”
He nodded, “Indeed, a grave injury, should fade in a few minutes.”
Unable to hold back, Lin Xu chuckled softly.
With his ears subtly turning red beneath his tousled hair, Ting Yang maintained a composed demeanor, “…It hurts.”
Amusement in Lin Xu’s eyes tinged with helplessness, “Does it hurt that much? Should I call an ambulance for you?”
“So serious, probably an ambulance won’t help, maybe we should just amputate?” Xie Changyan mocked lightly.
Ting Yang glanced at him and said to Lin Xu: “This man is malicious, obviously no good, keep your distance from him.”
Xie Changyan: “…”
Sparks flew in the tense exchange of glances between the two men.
Lin Xu shook her head, having lost all desire to intervene.
Let father and son argue it out.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Wen Li’s face paled from fear, anxiously pulling Xiao Yu aside, “Keep calm, don’t fight here, we can’t afford to offend these people.”
This event tonight is so important, and everyone present is a high official or nobility. Causing a scene here would definitely get you arrested.
If it were just being kicked out of the venue, that would be one thing, but what if someone filed a complaint for provoking trouble and he got detained for a few days?
Their school had very strict penalties for students who broke the law or were undisciplined, and he would certainly be expelled if he had a record.
Xiao Yu was about to graduate, he couldn’t afford any mistakes at this point.
Xiao Yu seemed to realize this as well, his hands clenched and then relaxed, the impulsive anger gradually dissipating as he calmed down.
He looked at Wen Li, about to speak but then hesitated, “You and him…”
“I’ll explain it to you later, can you go back first today?” Wen Li said.
Hearing her words, Xiao Yu finally remembered the purpose of his visit to the banquet today.
He had no other way to get into the banquet, only through applying as a waiter.
Fortunately, he had done many part-time jobs before, and seeing his experience, the supervisor hired him.
He hadn’t met the president of Su’s yet, so he couldn’t leave at least for now.
“Hmm, I have something else to do, I must get back to work,” Xiao Yu remembered what he was here for and turned to leave.
A voice called out from behind him, stopping Xiao Yu in his tracks, “Wait a moment.”
Xie Changyan gave a glance at the security personnel rushing over and jerked his chin slightly toward Xiao Yu, “This waiter is too emotional. I’m afraid he might hurt other guests if he stays. Please ask him to leave.”

“Okay, Young Master Xie.” Two or three security personnel approached Xiao Yu, reached out their hands in a “please” gesture, and asked him to leave.
Xiao Yu’s expression suddenly stiffened, “I won’t hurt anyone.”
The security personnel were unmoved and kept their hands extended.
Xiao Yu looked at Xie Changyan, who appeared unconcerned and indifferent to his situation. He pursed his lips, unable to utter the plea stuck in his throat, and finally left reluctantly, following the security personnel.
As the disturber left, the guests who had nothing exciting to watch also gradually dispersed.
“Let’s go as well,” Ji Tingyang pulled Lin Xu.
“She came with me, where are you taking her?” Xie Changyan also grabbed Lin Xu’s other hand.
“She clearly came as my female companion,” Ji Tingyang glared at him, a trace of irritation flashing through his eyes.
This person always tried to snatch her from him.
His mother clearly didn’t like him and was just a substitute, yet he harbored unrealistic hopes.
Both held onto Lin Xu’s hands, neither willing to let go.
Lin Xu suddenly felt sweat drench her back.
She had actually forgotten about the female companion issue!
And she had let them meet each other.
Xie Changyan looked at Lin Xu with a slightly raised eyebrow, his tone leisurely, “You were his female companion?”
Lin Xu’s eyes darted around, “I… I…”
In the current situation, answering either side seemed inappropriate.
“Ouch, that hurts.” Her eyes rolled around, and she suddenly cried out.
Ji Tingyang and Xie Changyan were startled, loosening their grip on her hand, worry appearing in their eyes, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Xu slowly bent over, clutching her stomach, appearing to be in great pain.
Using an age-old lame excuse, she said, “My stomach hurts a lot, maybe something I ate wasn’t clean. I need to go to the restroom first. Don’t wait for me!”
Having said that, she quickened her pace and rushed toward the restroom.
When Lin Xu came out of the restroom, she didn’t head back to the banquet hall but took a turn and left the venue directly.
Fortunately, the location of the banquet hall was in the city center, and Lin Xu easily flagged down a taxi by the roadside.
After getting into the taxi, she sent messages to Ji Tingyang and Xie Changyan separately.
Willow Wadding: [I suddenly remembered I have some urgent matters, so I’m heading home first. You don’t have to wait for me.]
Since her task as a female companion was also completed, there was no one left to confront her anymore.
A sly glint flashed through Lin Xu’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but praise her own cleverness.
