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 Chus 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 Weinings 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 Chus 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 Beichengs 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, youd actually give me a call.

You know why Im calling you, Lin Chu said in a cold tone.

Lu Weining sneered, hearing Lin Chus 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 youve called?

Lin Chu scoffed once, and replied in disdain, Lu Weining, stop pretending. Youre not talking to Beicheng now, youre talking to me. Whats the point in acting innocent?

Lin Chu, what kind of crap are you saying. If youre calling me just to say nonsense, Im 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, theyd even say that Im accusing you falsely. Youre 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 tempers never been good, and Ive never hidden it. Its 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 Zhenghangs body hurt. Only he would know the pain he felt.

About todays 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? Dont keep pushing everything that happened to you on me. Im not pleasing in your eyes, could it be thats why youre trying to falsely accuse me?

Lin Chu frowned, she was lazy to continue listening to Lu Weinings act. She merely said, I dont care whether or not you admit to it, even if its your doing, or that I really did falsely accused you. Ill just take it as if youre the one that did it, if you feel that I actually am falsely accusing you then youll just have to bear with it. Since youve been slandering me quite a lot anyway, havent you?

Lin Chu, be clear when youre speaking. When have I ever slandered you! The things Ive said before, and all those media reports. Which one of them is not the truth? Lu Weining said in a stern voice.

Im 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. Im 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. Dont let a person that came from nothing such as myself thats 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 youre 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.

Youre right, even a person such as myself by right shouldnt be scolding you right now. How glorious could the things you be doing possibly be? I came from nothing, and I dont have any great family prestige such as yours. But, I do things openly and candidly, Ive never gone out of my way to harm anyone, and Ive never tried to be a mistress or harass other peoples men. Whats supposed to be mine would stay with me, whats not mine I wont take. On the basis of the things youd done, do you actually feel superior? Lin Chus voice was cold and harsh, but she was able to maintain her calm. This demeanor of hers when compared to Lu Weinings, was much more elegant.

Whats so amazing about you then, youre constantly hiding behind a man! Whenever theres trouble youll hide behind Yan Beicheng while youre being useless, whats the difference between you and a leech! Lu Weining was infuriated after Lin Chus criticism, it made her seem as if she was worthless.

Youre right, but my man happily lets me rely on him. He said it before, as long as its a matter regarding me he wouldnt find it troublesome. Lin Chus mouth twitched, saying everything that could piss Lu Weining off. Lu Weinings body was too healthy, if she were able to piss Lu Weining off to death, then it would be fantastic. Moreover, youre relying on your family as well, arent you? If you didnt come from money, would you be this arrogant and dare to do these things? Dont talk to me as if youre that amazing.

If youre 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 youre that capable, stop depending on the Lu Family.

You! My surnames Lu, Im born with these privileges, why shouldnt I use them! Lu Weining cried while grinding her teeth.

According to what youve said, Yan Beicheng is my husband and this is my advantage then. My husbands so capable, why cant I rely on him? If he doesnt let me rely on him, who else would it be? If I dont rely upon him, wont 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, Its possible for me to not seek for Beichengs help, Im just letting you know that even without Beichengs help, its 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 dont find me pleasing to your eyes and want to attack me then fine, Ill deal with your schemes. But if you drag others in just so that you could attack me, then Ill ask for Beicheng to intervene. Lu Weining, you dont want him to hate you any further, dont you? For todays matter, I hadnt told him yet. Otherwise, you know how hed react. Hes not going to come at you directly, hell come for Xing Chuang instead. If I were you, Id agree to my conditions.

Lu Weining clenched her teeth tightly, her jaws almost bent to the side and gritted her teeth as she replied, Fine, Ill agree.

Lin Chu hung up the phone with satisfaction. Asking Lu Weining to not depend on the Lu Family was just a fantasy story. Lu Weining would never agree to that, she just wanted to take the opportunity to infuriate Lu Weining. Her brains were unable to comprehend anymore when angry that she would agree to her conditions.

Although she distrusted Lu Weinings character, she believed the threats she made would be effective.

Once Lu Weining hung up the phone, after calming down she then realized, why did she agree to her conditions!

Lin Chu then returned to the bedroom with her phone, Yan Beicheng had taken his shower and was comfortably sitting on the bed. When he saw her coming in, he looked up and extended his hand towards her and smiled. Where did you go? When I came out you were gone.

He held onto immense passion wanting to give his wife a hug when he came out, yet he only saw an empty bed.

I went out to handle a few things. Lin Chu smiled, as she put her hands on Yan Beichengs, letting him pull her into his arms.

Why are you being mysterious to me? Yan Beicheng raised his eyebrows as he asked, then lowered his head and gave a kiss on the corner of her eyes.

Nothing mysterious! Lin Chu giggled as she opened her Weibo, and because it was not refreshed, the content stayed the same as the one she saw just now.

Yan Beichengs expression turned dark, he then asked in a deep tone without hesitation. Is it Lu Weining again?

Although Yan Beicheng was young, Lin Chu saw him being in a rage all the time. She was afraid that he would ruin his body at a young age due to him constantly being angry.

Gently trailing his chest with her fingers, her movements getting fairly smooth. Yan Beicheng was unable to get upset now, he sat back and enjoyed the feeling of her velvety hands tickling his chest, and proceeded to raise his hand to grab onto hers. Placing her hand near his lips for a kiss.

Theres no need for you to worry, Ive settled it. I gave Yuntong a call just now, we both contacted some studios that have been working together with us for a long time and have already reversed the public opinion, Lin Chu said with a smile.

Looking at her smiling in contentment, Yan Beicheng then gave her lips a peck. Youve become so capable now, my heart feels a bit empty. Last time when something came up, Id be the one helping you out. You just need to stay in my embrace in comfort, how nice was that. Now, Im longer of use to you.

What are you saying, Ill need to toughen up too, right? If every single one of my matters were settled by you, Ill look down on myself. The things Ive said this afternoon, isnt it self-contradicting? Since Im able to say it, then I have to do it. I cant just merely say good words. Moreover, I dont want to be similar to a thoughtless little bird in a cage that doesnt know anything. Youre constantly telling me to not regard you as an outsider, but actually, Im not regarding you like one, I just feel sorry and I dont want to tire you out. Youre already tiring yourself out with a lot of other things, plus these trifling matters. I undoubtedly have the ability to settle them on my own, why would I constantly push them unto you?

Yan Beicheng held Lin Chus hand and squeezed them from time to time. If you want to solve them yourself itll be up to you, but you should know that Im always happy to help.

Lin Chu smiled, the hand he was not holding was wrapped around his waist, and proceeded to lean her chin on his chest.

Husband and wife are supposed to take care of each other, not one party blindly giving and the other party blinding receiving. As far as I know, such a marriage wouldnt last long. Please dont deny it, granted that youre even willing to devote yourself unconditionally, I still cant bear to watch you suffer. Lu Weinings coming after you, as your wife I need to protect my own husband and not let another woman have their way. Otherwise, others would think that Im easy to bully. You need to give me something to handle as well!

Alright, I cant beat you in terms of speaking anyway. Yan Beicheng pinched her lips. Youre worthy to be working in public relations, such an exceptional eloquence.

Lin Chu began to grin. I gave Lu Weining a call just now.

She told Yan Beicheng everything she had said to Lu Weining. Just in case shes a sore loser, and once again bullies the innocent, then youll have to take her out for me.

No worries, thats a given. Yan Beicheng then pinched her nose.

Lin Chu wrinkled her nose, why did this man love to touch her face so much.

I told her just now that I didnt inform you of this matter. Youre the one that guessed correctly this time, Im a woman of my word. Lin Chu continued, her voice was soft and lovely. No mattered how one listened to her, it just sounded like she was acting coquettishly and was shifting the blame.

Why are you keeping your promises with her. Next time if she had any more lousy schemes, youd need to let me know. If its not a big deal, I wont do anything, unless you ask me to. Yan Beicheng said, Otherwise, I will have no idea whats going on, and I wont feel good about it.

Lin Chu then nodded and promised him with not even a bit of remorse, there was really no need to keep such promises with someone like Lu Weining.

If she was not afraid of Yan Beicheng, Lu Weining would not have kept her promise either anyway.

The next day, the two went and visited the orphanage, after checking on the orphanage and seeing everything was fine, they then went to the Family Mansion for lunch. They then went to Sheng Town in the afternoon.

Lin Chu had let Yan Beicheng fetch her over to the apartment building area, he himself then went to Yan Huaians. She went to the downstairs of Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntongs house and pressed the doorbell.

The chime rang for a short while, she then heard the sound of the door opening and Zheng Yuntong making a ruckus. Lin Chu, quickly! Come in!

Lin Chu smiled as she opened the door, she went in and took the elevator to the fifth floor. Zheng Yuntong and Xu Moyan had already opened up the door to wait for her by the entrance.

Lin Chu entered the door and was still taking her shoes off when Zheng Yuntong was already unable to wait and urging her to hurry. Hurry up, I need to show you something.

Lin Chu,

Yesterday Yan Ningbai said the same words to her.

Lin Chu suddenly had a bad premonition. She changed into slippers and went into the living room, Zheng Yuntong and Xu Moyan then sandwiched her in the middle from left and right.

Zheng Yuntong took her mobile phone and showed Lin Chu a snippet of a video. It was of Lu Weining being scolded by a woman with her child at the entrance of the hospital that day, she was recorded by passerbys.

Although the person recording did not have a high hit count as the person yesterday, the whole process was not pixelated.

Lin Chu did not know what had happened at the hospital that day, but looking at the entrance of the hospital, it was the hospital where Xu Jiaojiao stayed on that day.

This video is from more than half a month ago, Zheng Yuntong said.

Lin Chu then was able to connect the dots, Dai Huimin did mention that she bumped into Lu Weining that day at the hospital. Obviously, Lu Weining was doing again another unkind and dishonest affair and was scolded by others because of it. Unfortunately, she was captured on video.

The lady in the video was right, convenience to others was also convenience to ourselves.

She was not being convenient to others, as such retribution followed suit.

This video was not widespread on the Internet just yet. It was sent to me by my friend. I looked to him for help last night, as he has a very wide network of contacts in this area, and hes a private detective. I then had the foresight to ask him to help me investigate Lu Weinings recent movements, and he was able to look up this video. Zheng Yuntong explained.
