Chapter 301 - Lin Mushengs Past (2/2)

“How dare he touch my woman. And to take Ah Sha away from me? Not even death could pardon his actions.”

“Then you better pray you can kill every single one of us today. Or else, you and the Wan family better prepare to suffer the consequences of our vengeance!” Lin Musheng’s eerie eyes met Wan Qingsi’s gaze. “The Wan family. So what? Come on, then. If you’re so great, why don’t you try your luck and take me out.”

“You have a death wish!” Wan Qingsi growled. Ah Sha tugged his sleeve before he could move in to attack. “Xunxun, forget it.”

“What? What did you say?” Wan Qingsi lowered his head and touched his forehead to Ah Sha’s; he thought she was delirious.

Ah Sha wrapped her arms around him. “He didn’t do anything to me,” she said. “He just wanted to take me out to eat.”

Everyone in the room was looking at Ah Sha as if she belonged in a mental institute. Yeah, hell would freeze over first before they would believe that kind of crap!

“Order them to stop the attack,” Wan Qingsi said, giving Wan Er a hand signal. The latter nodded and ran out.

Lin Musheng glanced around at his henchmen. “Give us some privacy,” he told them.

After Lin Musheng’s men cleared out, Wan Qingsi pulled Ah Sha to the couch and sat her down. “Come on, tell me. What’s going on?”

Ah Sha told him everything about how she’d rescue Lin Musheng all those years ago. Of course, she’d left out the detail about her rescuing Lin Musheng because she thought the guy was pretty.

Wan Qingsi remained silent for a long time after Ah Sha finished. “Don’t go around saving random men next time,” he said.

Ah Sha released him two forced laughs.

“See? Look how surly he is! You’d be better off with me!” Lin Musheng added. “I’ll definitely treat you better than he does!” Clearly, Lin Musheng didn’t value his life at all.

Wan Qingsi snickered. “Save it. I basically raised her since she was three. I bathed, fed and clothed her.”

“So what? I could do the same too!” Lin Musheng turned to face Ah Sha. “I’ll bathe you tonight.”

“Piss off!” Ah Sha hurled a cup she’d picked up from the coffee table.

“She’s mine, both in life and in death.” Wan Qingsi glared at Lin Musheng. “You were seventeen years too late. Try reincarnating earlier in your next life. Maybe you’d get your chance.”

What ensued was a pissing contest between the two men. The longer Ah Sha listened to them, the more childish she found them both to be.

When she heard Wan Qingsi’s “My family owns an invisible plane, you don’t,” Ah Sha had enough.

“Enough!” Ah Sha slammed her palm on the table and stood up.

Both men glanced at Ah Sha.

Wan Qingsi reached out and took her hand. “I forgot that how hungry you are,” he said. Then, he glared at Lin Musheng. “Blame him.”

“Come, let me treat you to something nice,” Lin Musheng said, standing up. “If you’re planning to check out the night market, it’ll be more convenient if you follow me.”

Ah Sha rubbed her forehead. After that, she kissed Wan Qingsi and said, “He’s just a friend, Xunxun.”

“I understand,” Wan Qingsi said. He studied Ah Sha’s face for a while and then nodded. “I’ll let it go as long as he didn’t hurt you.”

The light in Lin Musheng’s eyes dimmed when he heard Ah Sha’s comment. “Just a friend, huh?” he thought. But soon, the light returned to his eyes again. “Regardless, I’ve already found her. That’s the most important thing for now. The other things can wait!”

In the end, the three of them went to dinner together. Ah Sha didn’t stay the night, but followed Wan Qingsi back to S City that night instead. Before they left, Wan Qingsi left An Ru to Lin Musheng.

“She’s mentally aware, but she can’t move her body,” Wan Qingsi said. “She’ll be bedridden for the rest of her life.”

To Wan Qingsi, death was the lightest form of punishment. An Ru’s punishment was to spend the rest of her life in a bed, paralyzed but conscious; even her ability to take her own life had been taken away from her.

Lin Musheng had no problems with it.

He ordered his men to bring An Ru to the old residence of the Lin family. When Old Man Lin, Lin Musheng’s father, was enraged when he saw the state his daughter was in. Old Man Lin insisted on seeking revenge for An Ru and punishing the ones who did this to her.

“The Wan family did it. You want revenge? Go ahead, I won’t stop you. Just don’t drag the Triad into this,” Lin Musheng said offhandedly. Old Man Lin went away to look for An Ru’s caretaker. The topic of revenge never came up again.

“Let’s keep daddy out of this,” Ah Sha said once they were home.

Wan Qingsi glanced at her briefly. “Why, you have a guilty conscience?”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ah Sha said in a tone of amusement. “I just don’t want daddy and mommy to worry.”

“What about my worry?” Wan Qingsi removed his bathrobe. “How are you going to make it up to me?”

Ah Sha stared the growing bulge between his legs. She blushed and reached out. “Will this do?”

“You little minx!” Wan Qingsi pulled her up. “Wrap your legs around me!”

Ah Sha did as she was told obediently. She even removed her pajamas voluntarily and raised her neck.

“Good girl!” Wan Qingsi said. Evidently, he was happy with how compliant Ah Sha was. Trailing kissing along Ah Sha’s neck, Wan Qingsi kicked the door open and carried her into the bedroom.

A few days later, the news of An Ru’s retirement shook the showbiz. The reason for her sudden retirement was that the Lin family prohibited her from exposing herself in public. A lot of people on the internet didn’t believe that reason because An Ru had already signed a contract with Sky Entertainment and was already in the middle of a movie production; the Lin family would be the ones charged with the fine if she breached her contract.

Then again, Sky Entertainment soon released a statement claiming that they had agreed to An Ru’s withdrawal. They even announced that An Ru’s role would be taken over by a contemporary actress, Li Bier.

“Do you think An Ru has gone mad?” Xiao Zhao said during the middle of Tang Yue’s physical therapy session. “She shouldn’t have retired from the showbiz just because Boss Wan refused to accept her feelings!”

Tang Yue, who was supporting herself with the handrail attached to the wall, snorted derisively. “Did she retire voluntarily? Or was she forced to retire. She’s the only person who knows.”

Xiao Zhao was just about to ask her why when Tang Yue’s phone suddenly rang.

Tang Yue glanced at the caller ID, and her body went taut instantly.
