Chapter 119 - The Farce Ends (1)
When Sun Fengzi and Zhao Shunchang saw Zhao Youlin for the first time, they only felt slightly guilty. Besides, the gold hairpins were not obvious on her head, so they did not notice them.
Now that Zhao Youlin pulled the hairpins off and used them as weapons, it was difficult for them to ignore the weapons. When they took a close look, both of them were stunned.
Outsiders may not know the value of these two gold hairpins, but it was impossible for Zhao family members like them to not know.
These two gold hairpins were the dowry of the old madam when she married the old master. If current prices were used to value them, each one would have to cost nine figures. However, the price was not the most important thing. The most important thing was the value of this hairpin to the old master.
Since the death of the old madam, these two hairpins had been regarded as relics by the old master, and they were family treasures. It was rare for them to even be seen in daylight on normal days, but they were on Zhao Youlin"s head today. It was evident how important Zhao Youlin was to the old master.
As she thought about this, Sun Fengzi"s face was distorted with jealousy. She had married into the Zhao family for many years. Not only was she suppressed by Duan Yarong, but the old master never really warmed up to her.
Now that another young girl came, her status in the Zhao family would be even lower.
But soon, she did not have time to feel jealous anymore. That was because Zhao Youlin raised the gold hairpin and directed them at Zhao Yifei"s eyes!
"Ah, don"t!" Sun Fengzi"s scream resounded across the night sky, causing everyone who heard it to tremble.
Under the dreary moonlight, a girl who was like fire raised her hand high. The tips of the s.h.i.+ny gold hairpins gleamed slightly, releasing cold air. It was like a sharp sickle in the Grim Reaper"s hand, and it was ready to take a human"s life at any time.
The moonlight shrouded the girl"s body. It coated her with a faint light and showed her deceptive beauty in cruelty.
The people who came from the front hall after hearing the sound saw such a scene. While they were shocked and amazed, someone reacted first and shouted, "Youlin, stop!"
When Zhao Youlin heard the familiar voice, her raised hands suddenly stopped. The tips of the gold hairpins stopped just one centimeter away from Zhao Yifei"s eyes.
Zhao Yifei"s eyes reflected the scary weapons, and he swallowed hard. A drop of cold sweat slipped down his forehead and fell into the lush gra.s.s in the courtyard.
There was a suffocating silence in the courtyard as everyone was silent.
After a while, Zhao Youlin took the initiative and broke the silence. Her wrist turned, and the two gold hairpins returned to her palm in beautiful movement. She looked down at Zhao Yifei and said with a sneer, "Right. Using such beautiful gold hairpins to puncture your dirty eyes will only stain them."
Zhao Yifei"s expression slightly changed. He wanted to get angry, but his whole body tensed up when he remembered the incident just now. He did not dare to act rashly.
After seeing Zhao Youlin keep the gold hairpins, everyone present, including Zhao Shunrong and his wife who had stopped her just now, were relieved.
When Sun Fengzi saw that her son"s eyes were safe, her legs inevitably turned to jelly. She could not help but feel afraid when she thought of the two gold hairpins which almost pierced her son"s eyes.
When Zhao Shunchang saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her. He was as panicked as Sun Fengzi as well.
After Sun Fengzi finally calmed down, she immediately got up from Zhao Shunchang"s arms. She pointed at Zhao Youlin and was about to scold, "You…"
Before Sun Fengzi scolded her, she was interrupted by a scream.
Everyone"s eyes were wide open, and they looked at the crime scene that suddenly happened in the courtyard in disbelief.
The moment when Sun Fengzi spoke, Zhao Youlin, who had gotten off Zhao Yifei, ruthlessly stepped on Zhao Yifei"s limp right hand that was on the ground with her stiletto heel of more than ten centimeters.
The sharp heel of the high heel pierced into Zhao Yifei"s palm, making him unable to control his voice and he screamed.
Zhao Youlin stepped on Zhao Yifei and turned around to look at Sun Fengzi. She sneered and said, "Go ahead, keep talking."
"You…" Sun Fengzi was frightened by Zhao Youlin"s actions. She spat out a word while her hands were trembling.
Zhao Youlin"s eyes flickered, and she put pressure on her leg. Not surprisingly, someone"s scream resounded again in the empty courtyard.
Sun Fengzi gasped. She quickly covered her mouth and stepped back while shaking her head. However, she did not dare to spit out another word.
Zhao Youlin was satisfied now and removed her high heel from Zhao Yifei"s hand. She ignored the people who were stunned by her actions. She said in a low voice, "Joy, let"s go home."
Joy was told to sit in the pavilion obediently. No matter what happened, he was not allowed to come out or make noises. When he heard his mother"s words, he immediately rushed out of the pavilion happily and shouted, "Mom. Mom."
Zhao Youlin leaned down and lifted Joy up to give him a kiss. She turned around to leave and ignored the group of people who gathered in the courtyard.
Zhao Shunchang was the nearest to the door. When he saw Zhao Youlin wanting to leave, he reflexively stopped her.
Zhao Youlin did not speak. She turned her wrist, and two gold hairpins appeared between her fingers, flas.h.i.+ng a terrifying cold light.
When everyone present saw this scene, they all thought of all the things they had just seen, and they all felt chills running down their backs.
Zhao Shunchang obviously remembered this as well. He extended his hand as he subconsciously thought that he was Zhao Youlin"s elder, so she would not do anything to him.
But after he calmed down, his face turned pale when he remembered what Zhao Youlin had done to Sun Fengzi and Zhao Yifei just now. He was a coward. Before he confronted her, he was already scared, so he quickly made way for Zhao Youlin tactfully.
Zhao Youlin hugged Joy tightly and wanted to leave. Suddenly, a worried cry came from behind. "Youlin…"
Zhao Youlin recognized Duan Yarong"s voice. Her legs stopped for a while, but she did not stay. She hugged Joy and swaggered through the courtyard"s gate and disappeared in front of everyone.
Ling Ran and Ye Yan stood on the edge of the corridor and watched everything.
After seeing Zhao Youlin"s ferocity, Ling Ran touched his chest and said dramatically, "Wow! Yan, your lover is so hot and cruel!"
After he finished speaking, he added wickedly when he saw that Ye Yan did not react, "It makes my heart flutter."
As expected, Ye Yan immediately glared at him when Ling Ran said these words. He even showed that bright smile that Ling Ran feared the most. "Your heart flutters."
Ling Ran was frightened and trembled. He quickly asked for mercy, "Hahaha, I"m just kidding. Just kidding."
Although Ye Yan always smiled and seemed to be easy to get along with, anyone who was relatively close with him, especially his buddies who grew up with him, knew that Ye Yan"s true temperament was actually the coldest among them.
It was just that living in such an environment all year round had forced him to hide all his cold-blooded personality beneath a smile. Over time, it became a habit.
Every time he smiled brightly, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky.
Ling Ran was a straightforward person. What he feared most was this part of Ye Yan. Every time he saw him smile like this, he got terrified.
