Chapter 183 Youve Become So Capable Now, My Heart Feels A Bit Empty. (1/2)
It did not mean that she could always rely on Yan Beicheng though. She had to at least try to be independent.
Lu Weining perhaps had done everything to get Yan Beicheng, but everything Lu Weining had done was declare war on her.
In Lin Chu's point of view, this was a war between women. Before, Yan Beicheng used to solve everything for her, but it could no longer stay this way.
In the beginning, she had no connections of her own. Now that she had been working in Lin Yi for a long time, and was on good terms with her colleagues, also as she helped her clients in solving their issues, she was able to meet people of different professions. Even if the relationships would not be considered as deep by any means, she would at least be able to find someone that could help her in her affairs, as compared to being utterly unfamiliar with her own surroundings and unable to get help.
As for Lu Weining's matters, Lin Chu no longer hoped for Yan Beicheng to intervene.
The man Lu Weining was lusting after was her man, in that case, she should have been the one stepping forward and handling Lu Weining. Lin Chu gave it some thought and realized that perhaps she had been relying upon Yan Beicheng this whole time. That was why Lu Weining looked down on her and assumed she could not do anything on her own. Hence, she continued to fearlessly harass her continuously.
Moreover, Yan Beicheng had lots of things to handle and since she was not able to help him out, she could only make sure that he would not have to always worry about her. She should be able to handle these matters and should start learning how to. Not that she needed to assume complete personal responsibility, but she should at least be able to solve these things on her own.
After giving it some thought, Lin Chu dialed a number and called it.
The call rang a couple of times before Lu Weining picked up.
She looked at the phone screen, and could not believe her own eyes.
Before this, she had sent text messages to Lin Chu and after sending a few, she could not send them out anymore. She could type them out, but it could not be delivered. Afterward, she tried giving Lin Chu a call and there was still no response, she then knew that she had been blocked.
She would have never thought Lin Chu would personally give her a call.
When she thought about what happened tonight, Lu Weining sneered. Was Lin Chu calling to question her?
Lin Chu had no other abilities, all she did was depend on Yan Beicheng to make a living anyway. Tonight, looking at the responses online, she did not expect that the situation would be reversed in Lin Chu's favor.
When Lu Weining saw it at that time, she was pissed out of her head, and immediately believed that Yan Beicheng had intervened to help Lin Chu.
Other than getting help from Yan Beicheng, what else could Lin Chu possibly do!
When met with the slightest inconvenience she would hide behind Yan Beicheng's back, letting Yan Beicheng work himself to death just to shield her. She then would live comfortably, and could not do anything for herself. Yan Beicheng was someone that handled the big affairs, was all matters in the company already not enough for him? He still needed to settle these trivial matters for Lin Chu!
Hence, when she said that Lin Chu was constantly holding him back, these words were not wrong!
Lu Weining was not thinking about the fact that these troubles were actually caused by her. If she had not started it, Yan Beicheng would not have been distracted with these trivial matters at all, yet all she did was blame Lin Chu for everything.
Lu Weining picked up the phone with a tense expression, the voice that came out of her, however, was nonchalant. ”Lin Chu? How unusual, you'd actually give me a call.”
”You know why I'm calling you,” Lin Chu said in a cold tone.
Lu Weining sneered, hearing Lin Chu's ice-cold voice that seemed like she was angry at her made her mood became unexpectedly better. She scoffed and continued, ”How would I know why you've called?”
Lin Chu scoffed once, and replied in disdain, ”Lu Weining, stop pretending. You're not talking to Beicheng now, you're talking to me. What's the point in acting innocent?”
”Lin Chu, what kind of crap are you saying. If you're calling me just to say nonsense, I'm going to hang up. That gentle, good-tempered look that you usually wear in front of people is completely pointless in front of me. Yet nobody believed me when I tell them, on the contrary, they'd even say that I'm accusing you falsely. You're really good at scheming!” Lin Chu said as she used a tone that seemed as if she had been persecuted, it made Lin Chu felt sick to the utmost extent.
”My temper's never been good, and I've never hidden it. It's not just you, Beicheng knows it, your brother knows it as well.” Lin Chu mocked her.
”What do you mean?” Lu Weining was stunned for a while, as she still had not heard about the incident where Lin Chu had beat Lu Zhenghang up.
Lin Chu aimed for his body instead of his face, so only Lu Zhenghang's body hurt. Only he would know the pain he felt.
”About today's matter, stop playing dumb with me. I know you did it. If you want to provoke me then just aim for me alone, why are you dragging others in as well?” Lin Chu was blunt with her.
Lu Weining still pretended as if Lin Chu was making a fuss about nothing. ”What matters, what happened tonight? Don't keep pushing everything that happened to you on me. I'm not pleasing in your eyes, could it be that's why you're trying to falsely accuse me?”
Lin Chu frowned, she was lazy to continue listening to Lu Weining's act. She merely said, ”I don't care whether or not you admit to it, even if it's your doing, or that I really did falsely accused you. I'll just take it as if you're the one that did it, if you feel that I actually am falsely accusing you then you'll just have to bear with it. Since you've been slandering me quite a lot anyway, haven't you?”
”Lin Chu, be clear when you're speaking. When have I ever slandered you! The things I've said before, and all those media reports. Which one of them is not the truth?” Lu Weining said in a stern voice.
”I'm not talking nonsense with you,” Lin Chu said impatiently, Lu Weining, in any case, was a young lady from an influential family of money and riches. She did this type of disgusting acts all the time in secrecy, so there was no point in talking to her. ”I'm just letting you know, just aim your provocation towards me alone and stop dragging others in. If you have the guts to use these schemes to go after me, then you should have the guts to admit to it as well. Don't let a person that came from nothing such as myself that's unable to compete with your nobility to have the chance to scold you. You are a rich young lady from an influential family yet you exhaust yourself doing these low-grade affairs, and when you're done you even not dare to admit to it.”
”What are you saying! What gives you the right!” Lu Weining stood up from the sofa she was sitting on filled with rage, wanting to smash something.
”You're right, even a person such as myself by right shouldn't be scolding you right now. How glorious could the things you be doing possibly be? I came from nothing, and I don't have any great family prestige such as yours. But, I do things openly and candidly, I've never gone out of my way to harm anyone, and I've never tried to be a mistress or harass other people's men. What's supposed to be mine would stay with me, what's not mine I won't take. On the basis of the things you'd done, do you actually feel superior?” Lin Chu's voice was cold and harsh, but she was able to maintain her calm. This demeanor of hers when compared to Lu Weining's, was much more elegant.
”What's so amazing about you then, you're constantly hiding behind a man! Whenever there's trouble you'll hide behind Yan Beicheng while you're being useless, what's the difference between you and a leech!” Lu Weining was infuriated after Lin Chu's criticism, it made her seem as if she was worthless.
”You're right, but my man happily lets me rely on him. He said it before, as long as it's a matter regarding me he wouldn't find it troublesome.” Lin Chu's mouth twitched, saying everything that could piss Lu Weining off. Lu Weining's body was too healthy, if she were able to piss Lu Weining off to death, then it would be fantastic. ”Moreover, you're relying on your family as well, aren't you? If you didn't come from money, would you be this arrogant and dare to do these things? Don't talk to me as if you're that amazing.”
”If you're so capable stop asking for Yan Beicheng to help you!” Lu Weining shrieked.
That brain of hers started to get somewhat muddled from being infuriated.
Lin Chu held her laughter back and raised her eyebrows as she continued, ”Sure, then if you're that capable, stop depending on the Lu Family.”
”You! My surname's Lu, I'm born with these privileges, why shouldn't I use them!” Lu Weining cried while grinding her teeth.
”According to what you've said, Yan Beicheng is my husband and this is my advantage then. My husband's so capable, why can't I rely on him? If he doesn't let me rely on him, who else would it be? If I don't rely upon him, won't it be a waste?” Lin Chu said simply.
She then heard a sound of glass shattering in the background, she then knew that Lu Weining was smashing something.
The purpose of her call was not to go around in circles and never get anywhere with Lu Weining, and said, ”It's possible for me to not seek for Beicheng's help, I'm just letting you know that even without Beicheng's help, it's impossible even if you wanted to go after me.”
Lu Weining paused for a while and listened to Lin Chu, ”But if you just have to harass someone, then target me alone, stop using those despicable methods against innocent people. If you don't find me pleasing to your eyes and want to attack me then fine, I'll deal with your schemes. But if you drag others in just so that you could attack me, then I'll ask for Beicheng to intervene. Lu Weining, you don't want him to hate you any further, don't you? For today's matter, I hadn't told him yet. Otherwise, you know how he'd react. He's not going to come at you directly, he'll come for Xing Chuang instead. If I were you, I'd agree to my conditions.”
