Chapter 228 The Good Man, Lin San
"Your brother? Doing underhanded tricks? Miss Tao Wanying, where did you get that idea? Do you see me as that kind of person? Look at how straight my spine is, how honest my gaze. Do you really think I'm that kind of man?" Lin Wanrong opened his eyes wide in innocence: "I am as innocent as a spring onion sleeping with tofu!"
"Spring onion sleeping with tofu?" Tao Wanying asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"
"Spring onion sleeping with tofu — it means we're both completely transparent, nothing hidden!" Lin Wanrong said with a mischievous grin.
Blushing furiously, Tao Wanying lowered her head in embarrassment: "Lin San, why are you talking nonsense again? Weren't you always so honest?"
Honest? Lin Wanrong wiped the sweat off his forehead. He used to tease and scold this girl and she thought he was honest. Now when he was speaking nicely, had he suddenly become indecent? He had heard of some people having a masochistic streak. Could they be referring to her? Perhaps, whips and candle wax might be suited for this girl.
Laughing heartily, Lin Wanrong said, "Miss Tao, I am still the same old Lin San. It's just that your mood when speaking with me has changed, so your perception of me has changed as well. Oh, by the way, Miss Tao, you mentioned something about your brother? What tricks did he play? Do share, I might be able to offer some advice."
Tao Wanying sighed lightly and said, "It's a long story. It began on the day you set us free," she glanced at Lin Wanrong and quickly asked, "Lin San, are you really not angry with me for what happened that day?"
"Not at all!" Lin Wanrong generously replied, "It was a moment of anger that led to your impulsiveness. It's understandable, who doesn't have a beastly side? Besides, didn't you also pay the price for your impulsiveness?"
Tao Wanying's eyes welled up with tears, "Lin San, thank you. I never expected you to be such a kind-hearted person. I robbed you, yet you bore no grudge. I wronged you, yet you kindly explained on my behalf. Lin San, you truly are the most benevolent person in the world."
Goosebumps erupted all over Lin Wanrong's body at her words. If it was about being gullible, this girl could take second place, and no one would dare claim the first. All she could think about were his good deeds. Why didn't she remember when he had tripped her on their way to Hangzhou? This girl really had a masochistic streak.
"Of course," Lin Wanrong replied unabashedly, "I have a nickname, the Honest Young Man. Being known as the 'Seven Times a Night' man isn't without reason."
Hearing his absurdity, Tao Wanying couldn't help but laugh, "You've never known modesty."
Tao Wanying might not have the beauty of a lady, but her ample buttocks and bosom compensated for that. Lin Wanrong stole a glance at her, wondering if she had been eating hormones to grow. Her body was voluptuously appealing; she likely belonged to the category of a 'grip the railings, tear the sheets' kind of woman, too exciting for words. That Hou kid was too lucky.
Seeing the conversation with this girl was getting nowhere, Lin Wanrong quickly changed the topic, "Oh, Miss Tao, let's get back to the main point. What exactly happened to your brother?"
Tao Wanying didn't know how she had strayed so far from the topic. She laughed sheepishly, then continued, "After I woke up that day, I walked back a distance and found my brother. He was lying on a slope, his body burning hot but unconscious. I had no idea what happened to him. And at that time, I thought that I..." She blushed and lowered her head, "...you know what I thought. I believed something terrible had happened to me. Then seeing my brother in that state, unresponsive despite my calls, I couldn't help but cry. It wasn't until our house soldiers arrived and woke him with cold water..."
Having been drugged, of course, he would need to be splashed with cold water. Lin Wanrong feigned sympathy, "Ah, poor Young Master Tao, he must have been soaked through, right? How unfortunate! Catching a cold wouldn't be good. Alas, it's all my fault."
Tao Wanying hurriedly interjected, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not blaming you. We were enemies at that time; you knocking my brother out was inevitable. Besides, you kindly let him go later. None of this is your fault."
‘This girl is becoming more considerate,’ thought Lin Wanrong with inward glee. "Then what happened next?" he asked.
Tao Wanying's face was so red it looked like it would drip. She said softly, "After my brother woke up, he didn't seem to recognize anyone. He would hug anyone he saw, and he spoke nonsense—"
Lin Wanrong knew exactly what sort of nonsense she was referring to. He acknowledged her explanation with a grunt and let her continue, "Later, one of our soldiers figured it out and said that he was... desiring women—" Her face was a deep shade of red, and she couldn't continue.
Lin Wanrong nodded, "I see. But why would your brother act that way? I only knocked him out and left him by the roadside. Could some beast have bitten him?"
Tao Wanying forced herself to suppress her embarrassment, "I don't know. Later, we quickly took him to a small town and found a brothel, and then he—"
"What did he do?" At the climax of the story, Lin Wanrong shamelessly asked.
Covering her face with her hands, Tao Wanying blushed even deeper, "He shamelessly indulged himself with those women until the next morning."
"Those women? How many were there? Be specific, were there ten?" Eager to know the potency of the drug, Lin Wanrong asked with concern.
"Perhaps four or five, all of them were shameless women," Tao Wanying said softly.
What the hell! Was the potency of the drug so strong? Could Tao Dongcheng, that little worm, entertain four or five women and enjoy himself until dawn? That was nearly half as many as him, it was outrageous. Gao Qiu, that big lecher, why didn't he contribute more of this fun stuff? Next time, he must take several doses of the "Buddha's Big Stick" for personal use. However, considering that Tao Dongcheng had already been severely impaired, with this additional torment, even an iron rod would be incapable of withstanding it, let alone the fragile corpus cavernosum. This kid was undoubtedly done for.
"Well, Miss Tao, you know me as a man of honesty and integrity. I swear I didn't do anything to your brother. Besides, his beastly behavior of tormenting women is something that couldn't be induced by any of our deeds. I suspect it's the result of his own thoughts." Lin Wanrong spoke with a righteous air, his heart already elated.
"I don't know either," Tao Wanying sighed softly. "But ever since that day, my brother has completely changed. He indulged himself in pleasure every day, his health worsened, and he eventually stopped going out. He would invite courtesans to our home, only to drive them away after a short while. He grew more and more irritable, throwing things around. Neither my father nor I could persuade him, and he lost all his vitality, becoming thin and frail."
As Tao Wanying recounted the tale, she began to cry softly. Lin Wanrong listened with great satisfaction. The fact that he hadn't allowed this Tao guy to start embroidering was already being generous.
"Because of all this, my father has turned white with worry and lost interest in everything. He had a good relationship with Mr. Cheng De, but recently it has also cooled down." Tao Wanying sobbed, "Lin San, you're so smart, is there any way to save my brother? I don't want to see my father and brother become like this. Can you help them?"
Save him? Damn, how was he supposed to fix what was broken? Could he perform an organ transplant, replacing it with a dog's part? Honestly, considering her brother's actions, replacing it with a dog's part would be an insult to the intelligent canine species.
"Miss Tao, I sympathize with your situation deeply, but I'm afraid I can't help with this. Alas, your brother, smart as he was, has been misguided. I hope he will turn around soon and redeem himself," Lin Wanrong said with feigned compassion.
Tao Wanying acknowledged his words with a faint hum, "Thank you, Lin San, you really are the best person in the world. I've kept all these things to myself and didn't know who to talk to. Sharing it with you today has lightened my heart."
With a gloomy expression, Tao Wanying left. Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh and thought, ‘My strategies are growing more diverse.’ Luo Yuan came over and patted Lin Wanrong on the shoulder, a mysterious smile on his face, "Big brother, I am utterly impressed by you."
"Impressed by what?" Lin Wanrong asked, puzzled.
Pointing towards Tao Wanying, Luo Yuan laughed, "Miss Tao, crying and laughing in front of you, I think she might have fallen for you."
‘Damn, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard. If this girl could fall for me, that would be an injustice to the universe. But Little Luo, your sister really does like me.’ Lin Wanrong chuckled, replying casually, "My relationship with Miss Tao isn't what you imagine. There's been a misunderstanding, which we'll clear up soon. Speaking of which, how's your sister?"
Luo Yuan excitedly replied, "You wouldn't believe it. Big brother, after you saw her yesterday and she had sister Qiaoqiao's company, she started feeling much better. She was talking and laughing, and by this morning, she's completely recovered. If I didn't know that my sister wasn't into you, I would have thought it was your strength that helped her."
‘Doesn't fancy me?’ Lin Wanrong shot him an exasperated glance, "You underestimate me, lad. If I wanted to, not even a bitch could escape my grasp in this world.’ Yet Luo Ning's mixture of words and laughter left him wondering, was it because of him or was she just excited about her choice of husband?
With a mysterious look, he asked Luo Yuan, "Little Luo, have you heard any rumors lately, about your sister?"
Luo Yuan looked puzzled, "No, I've been at home for the past few days and haven't heard anything. Big brother, is there some news?"
Damn, this matter was indeed strange, even Little Luo didn't know. Of course, he couldn't indulge in gossip about Little Luo's own sister in front of him, so he laughed it off with a few vague words.
Having bid farewell to two separate parties, the Eldest Miss was somewhat tired and headed straight back to rest. Lin Wanrong was about to leave when he saw two figures approaching from outside the hall. The man in the lead, lightly stroking his beard, greeted him with a smile from afar, "Little brother Lin, it's been a while."
Upon seeing this man, Lin Wanrong's heart swelled with joy. Here it comes, the big event was finally unfolding. ‘Damn, Cheng De, I wonder how much longer you can continue your arrogance.’ He laughed heartily and stepped forward to greet him, "Oh my, Master Xu, I've missed you dearly."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
