C82 (1/2)

He had never encountered such a situation, nor had he ever met such a person, leaving him at a loss for what to do.

”Name, age, family history, personal history, speak!” Nanny Lan's words were simple and cold; her eyes showed that she was struggling and hesitating.

Without any hesitation, Lin Jing knew that if he didn't immediately answer Nanny Lan's question and was unable to satisfy her, then those struggles would disappear.

”Lin Jing, 25, an orphan. He recently divorced from the third young mistress of the Jiang family after graduating from university in a car accident. He is currently working in Baolin Temple.” If he could have given Lin Jing more time, then moved to another place, he might have given a better answer.

”You were married?” Nanny Lan's eyes narrowed, the light that shot out from her eyes was like two extremely sharp knives.

With a 'gulp', Lin Jing gulped down a large mouthful of saliva. In that instant, he felt a chill down his spine. He honestly nodded and said, ”Yes, I was married before. ”Um, Nanny Lan, please listen to my explanation. It's not like Miss Du said, I and her …”

”Very well, I will inform your ladyship about this. Don't run around for the next few days, I'll come back to find you! Of course, if you want to escape, you can try and see if you can. ” Nanny Lan suddenly changed her tone, her gaze landing on Du Xiaolan. ”Go back!”

Du Xiaolan straightened her neck with a stubborn expression on her face, trying to fight back. ”I'm not going back, I want to follow …”

”Hmm?” Nanny Lan's expression suddenly turned cold, her narrowed eyes brimming with an irresistible dignity. She didn't say much, but walked straight to Du Xiaolan and grabbed her hand before walking outside.

Du Xiaolan turned around with a pitiful expression on her face, begging for mercy.

At this time, Lin Jing obviously wouldn't respond to her. He couldn't wait for Nanny Lan to quickly take this evil woman away and stop her from trying to harm him.

When Granny Lan pulled Du Xiaolan away, Lin Jing felt his calves flagging and he lost his balance. He sat down on a nearby chair, and his heart began to thump in his chest. It felt like he was about to fly out of his chest.

”Bro, what a hero!” I, Ni Fei, respect you for being a hero! ” Ni Fei had finally found an opportunity. He gave Lin Jing a thumbs up and said with an admiring expression.

However, the meaning in his eyes, no matter how he looked at it, seemed to be gloating, yet also carrying a strong sense of excitement.

Why was Ni Fei so happy? Why was he so happy?

Lin Jing's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, ”Don't tell me Du Xiaolan was actually yours!”

”Haha, amazing. You are indeed worthy of being the hero that I have my eyes on. You hit it with a single guess!” Speaking of rules and regulations, that crazy Du Xiaolan should be my fiancée! But now, thanks old bro, we're free! ”Haha!” When Ni Fei heard this, he did not try to conceal it in the slightest and directly laughed arrogantly.

”Young Master, please pay attention.” When Yu Qing, whose expression was constantly changing, saw that Ni Fei was so excited, his face darkened. He then shifted his gaze to Lin Jing and said, ”Mister Lin, I'm sorry. I've let you down. We still have some matters to attend to. We'll chat next time!”

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment. He was still in a state of shock.

Before Ni Fei left, he smiled at him and said, ”By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that, with the exception of Du Xiaolan, their entire family is crazy. You'll know when you marry into the Du Family!”

Lin Jing's eyes darkened. Ni Fei's attitude toward Nanny Lan and even his degree of happiness made him truly feel that he was going to face a calamity in the future.

Just think about it, even someone like Ni Fei, who had a high head and looked down on everything, would be so afraid of this matter. After getting rid of it, he would be so excited. What kind of existence would Du Xiaolan and the Du Family be?

What was certain was that with his current abilities, it was impossible for him to fight against such a clan. At that time, he would only be at the mercy of others.

He returned to the Precious Woods House dejectedly. Feng Yuqing looked at Lin Jing. From the time he had returned until now, he hadn't said a single word. Although he could tell that something had happened, he didn't know what had happened.

”Boss, you've been sitting here for two hours already. Are we still going to the Flying Heaven Tower today?”

”I'm not going. I'm a bit tired. I want to rest for a bit. Let's talk about this in two days.” Lin Jing sighed as he stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Feng Yuqing's eyes flashed as he called over a shop assistant and asked, ”While I was gone, what happened in the store?”

On the second day, Lin Jing was still in a daze. His brain felt like it was a paste, and he didn't know what to think or do.

It was only when Feng Yuqing informed him that someone from the Dong Clan Auction House had arrived that he regained his spirits and left the room.

Given that he knew nothing about the Du Clan at the moment, rather than indulging in his own thoughts, it was better for him to do what he should do. After spending so much on the auction, it all depended on whether Baolin would be able to amaze the world today.
