Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 989: How Could He Be So Ruthless to Her?

Chapter 989: Chapter 989: How Could He Be So Ruthless to Her?

However, despite their fear, the young men who came for Tian Hui’er boldly accused You An to curry favor with her: "Who, who are you? How can you hit people? Is there no law?!"

You An’s gaze shifted coldly to these people and he said contemptuously, "If you’re not convinced, report to the government. Let’s see who ends up being embarrassed!"

The crowd was intimidated by You An’s look and harsh words and fell silent for a moment.

Tian Hui’er was also quite scared. In her plan, the people on Brother Qin’s side would never resort to violence, but come out to see her under the pressure of the neighborhood.

As long as Brother Qin saw her crying, he would surely feel sympathy. And as long as Brother Qin softened once, she was confident she could win him over!

But now that Brother Qin’s servant was actually hitting people, what was she supposed to do?

Tian Hui’er, being clever, didn’t dare to make a real scene at the government, and quickly said to You An, "Brother You, please don’t be angry, it’s all Hui’er’s fault."

She then bowed to the young men, saying, "Hui’er thanks you all for your help, but this is a matter between the Tian Family and Benefactor Qin. I ask that you don’t interfere."

Tian Hui’er was very adept with words, and those words, along with her tearful pleading look, made those young men feel incredibly sympathetic.

"Miss Tian, you’ve been wronged. Don’t worry, we’ll wait here. If you need help, just call out."

You An sneered, thinking they were a bunch of fools, being manipulated by a woman, and a plain-looking one at that.

That’s right, while Tian Hui’er might be considered a beauty by most, to You An she appeared plain. It wasn’t that You An was deliberately belittling Tian Hui’er, but the Gu Family People were just too attractive.

Leaving aside Young Master and Gu Jinxiu, even Gu Jin’an was more beautiful than many beauties. Having seen the Gu Family People often, You An now looked at Tian Hui’er and thought she was delusional. Where did she get the confidence to think she could compete with Young Master?

Yet Young Master was fierce and wouldn’t let Tian Hui’er take advantage, staying silent for so long must mean they’re devising some cunning plan against her. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

You An guessed correctly. After just a few moments, Erqing came out and told Yuan Jiagui, "Elder Yuan, Young Master says if the Tian Family People aren’t afraid to face the consequences, let them in."

See, Young Master is kind-hearted; they’ll even ask you first before dealing with you.

Erqing was almost moved to tears by Young Master.

Tian Hui’er hesitated upon hearing this, feeling it was a trap.

Tian Xiwang’s wife immediately said, "Our family is willing to bear all consequences, let us in quickly."

Saying this, she dragged Tian Hui’er, and as soon as the Yuan Family’s courtyard gate opened, they rushed inside.

Tian Xiwang and Tian Douwen hurried to follow, and if not for Tian Hui’er’s instructions, watching their gleeful expressions, they would certainly have called out "worthy son-in-law" or "brother-in-law" right away.

However, Tian Xiwang and Tian Douwen didn’t manage to enter the house. You An blocked them, saying, "Stop, wait outside."

There were women inside, how could they let these disgusting creatures enter?

Tian Xiwang and Tian Douwen were furious, wanting to curse You An, but remembering how he had hit the young men earlier, they were too scared to speak, and obediently waited in the courtyard.

Inside, Qin San Lang sat next to Gu Jinli, looking at Gu Jinli, while Gu Jinli rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Tian Hui’er.

When Tian Hui’er saw Gu Jinli, her heart sank; indeed it was this wicked woman. Instinctively, she retreated two steps, obviously fearing that Gu Jinli might stab her with a poisoned needle again.

Gu Jinli smiled at the sight, "Turns out you’re someone who can be afraid, then that makes things easier."

Tian Xiwang’s wife was confused by the conversation, but didn’t think much, and pulled Tian Hui’er over, directly saying to Qin San Lang, "Benefactor Qin, finally we meet again. You have no idea how much my Hui’er has missed you during this time: she’s been so lovesick she’s been unable to eat. If you continue to be absent, Hui’er will starve to death."

"Pfft!" Gu Jinli laughed, glancing at Qin San Lang, who was tightly clenching his fist, appearing ready to explode. She hurriedly held his hand to comfort him.

Only then did Qin San Lang calm down somewhat, refraining from acting immediately.

Tian Hui’er saw this and a sinister look appeared in her eyes. She tugged at her mother’s sleeve.

Tian Xiwang’s wife immediately pointed at Gu Jinli’s hand and shouted, "Miss Gu Er, how can you, an unmarried girl, touch another man’s hand? You’ll be drowned in a pig cage for this!"

Qin San Lang had already drawn his knife.

Gu Jinli chuckled, "He’s my man; we’re already engaged, so why can’t I touch him? If I, his rightful fiancée, don’t touch him, are we saving it for your daughter?"

"What?" Tian Xiwang’s wife was shocked, "You, you are engaged?"

"Impossible." Tian Hui’er couldn’t help but say, "Brother Qin hasn’t engaged anyone, you’re not his fiancée."

Bang!

Qin San Lang slammed his palm down, shattering a nearby chair, and gave Tian Hui’er a sentence, "Dare to call out ’Brother’ again, and you’ll regret it for life."

While speaking, he kept his eyes on Gu Jinli, not once glancing at Tian Hui’er, he found her disgusting.

Tian Hui’er was staggered, not expecting Qin San Lang’s attitude toward her to be this cold, nor expecting her rival to be Gu Jinli, who looked like a seductive fox and was much more capable.

Yet Tian Hui’er didn’t want to give up. Having failed to secure Gu Jin’an, if she missed her chance with Qin San Lang, who else could she marry?

Would she really have to settle for Qi Kangming or Gu Dexing?

But neither of them could compare to Gu Jin’an in learning, and they relied on Gu Jin’an’s house to live, their financial status far beneath Gu Jin’an and Qin San Lang.

Tian Hui’er wanted only the best and would never settle for less!

So she boldly asked Gu Jinli, "Getting engaged is a good thing, but Hui’er hasn’t heard of Eldest Qin getting engaged. Do you have an engagement letter or token?"

Gu Jinli smiled and directly took out the red pearl hairpin Qin San Lang had given her. With a flick of her wrist, she drew an arc in the air before pinning it into her hair: "This is the engagement token Brother Qin gave me. Originally I didn’t want to wear it, being such a priceless item. I feared wearing it would make you ambitious women trying to marry into high-class families green with envy. But since you insist on humiliating yourself, I shall fulfill you."

After saying such piercing words, she even smiled at Tian Hui’er and asked, "Isn’t it beautiful? Are you so envious you could die from jealousy?"

Tian Hui’er was cunning, but after all, was only an unmarried girl, and hearing this, could not maintain her composure, inadvertently blurting out "Vile woman."

And Qin San Lang had already swung his knife, with a swoosh it severed one of Tian Hui’er’s ears.

"Ah!" Tian Hui’er cried out in pain, screaming at the sight of her fallen ear, nearly fainting.

Her ear, her ear, Qin San Lang had actually severed her ear!

Though she might not be as beautiful as Gu Jinli, she was still a beauty, one who captivated Mr. Dai and the men of West City’s neighborhood until they were dizzy. How could Qin San Lang treat a delicate girl like this?

Tian Hui’er was a gambler; she was betting that Qin San Lang would be like other men, unable to resist a beauty. Even if he was engaged to another, he wouldn’t show it openly but would care for her in secret.

But Qin San Lang didn’t; he was like King Yan, a King Yan who could strike a beauty without hesitation!
