"You, what you? Actually, I'm really grateful to you. If not for you, how could Qin Yang return to my side? Do you know how well Qin Yang treats me? See, this ring is a limited-edition item that he spent over two hundred thousand dollars to buy for me from abroad. Also, all my membership cards were arranged by him for me. What a pity, to think you have no discerning eye and could not see his good points. Oh, right, I heard from Qin Yang that you had been together with him for over a year, but other than holding hands, you wouldn't let him touch anywhere else. Su Lin, could it be that you have some psychological condition? If not, then as a normal woman, how could you reject a man so vehemently? Don't tell me... that you actually like girls?"
Su Lin felt anger rush to her head and was momentarily at a loss for words.
While the two were verbally sparring, Ling Chen glanced at the woman called Song Yuan. The woman had a decent appearance and had curves in all the right places, so she could be described as a beauty. However, the arrogance and pompousness between brows make her seem like a loose woman.
Moreover, she clearly was an expert player, her every word was biting and cruel. How could the inexperienced Su Lin hope to match up to her?
Seeing that Su Lin was rendered speechless, Song Yuan smirked, her face wearing the mocking smile of a victor looking at the defeated.
She was Su Lin's schoolmate, and though her background could not compare to Su Lin's, it was still not that bad. Ever since she enrolled, Qin Yang, who attended the same school, had caught her eye. He was good-looking and was rich as well, the classic example of the perfect man. She pursued him for two years and even practically sent herself into his embrace, but Qin Yang paid no heed to her. Eventually, he fell into the hands of Su Lin.
Every time she saw the two walking around the school while holding hands, she would burn with jealousy.
A while back, after Qin Yang had broken up with Su Lin, he went to a bar to have fun alone and coincidentally bumped into her. After a few bottles of beer and with her taking the initiative, everything that could occur that night happened. The relationship between the two had progressed at a breakneck pace.
Today, when she ran into Su Lin, she could not resist showing off and basking in her glory. She wanted to let Su Lin experience how envy tastes like.
"Miss Su, what's wrong?" Long Chen pulled Su Lin to one side and asked.
"That crazy lunatic has a problem."
Su Lin was beside herself with rage. She had just come here for a spa treatment but unfortunately ran into Song Yuan. She wanted to ignore the other party, who would have expected that woman to run to her of her own accord and flaunt about how perfect her life with Qin Yang was.
Hearing her left Su Lin infuriated and she could not help rebutting a sentence or two. However, who knew that the woman would continue pestering her, resulting in the verbal spar.
Knowing the details of the incident, Ling Chen felt that the matter was rather trivial. He was about to advise her not to waste her breath on a slutty woman like her.
However, at that moment, Song Yuan opened her cherry red lips again and stared at Ling Chen with disgust. "Su Lin, which trash can did you pick up your boyfriend from? Why does he have the stench of poverty? Although you broke up with Qin Yang, there's no need to downgrade yourself like that."
She knew that Ling Chen and Su Lin were not actually a couple, but she just wanted to find an excuse to continue insulting Su Lin.
"You... Ling Chen, go beat up that woman!"
Su Lin finally remembered what Ling Chen was good for. If she could not win in a war of words, then she would use fists instead. No matter what, she definitely had to teach that woman a lesson.
"Miss Su, that isn't too good, right? Everyone here is a person of culture, why resort to violence?"
He had his principles. It's alright to beat up people, but he would not lay a hand on women.
Su Lin was anxious and stomped her foot angrily. "Ling Chen, do you want to continue living in my house? Just go beat her up! I'll take responsibility for anything that happens afterwards."
Song Yuan sneered. "Su Lin, you really are a failure as a woman, unable to even coax a man to do your bidding. However, that proves that my previous statement was correct. Your eye for men is too trashy, falling in love with such a spineless coward."
Ling Chen bristled with rage inwardly. What's wrong with you, woman? Do you have nothing better to do, why do you have to pick a bone with me?
He looked at Su Lin, who was about to be angered to the point of tears and said, "Miss Su, why bother yourself with this kind of low-class woman? She wants to be shameless and degrade herself like a whore. Wanting to argue with someone like that, isn't that lowering yourself to her status?"
Hearing his words, Song Yuan's face chilled, and a blaze of anger burned furiously in her eyes, spitting out each word, "Who. Did. You. Say. Was. Shameless? I dare you to say that again!"
Ling Chen paid no heed to her, calmly saying, "Some women now have no self-respect. It's okay if they have no dignity for themselves. Still, they are even so shameless to flaunt their lack of shame, thinking that hooking up with men is something great. Miss Song, just now what Miss Su said was very clear. She said Qin Yang could not match up in her eyes. Hence, she dumped him. You got together with a man she rejected, so what right do you have to boast in front of her? Isn't that like slapping yourself across your own face? I really would like to know where your perceived sense of superiority comes from."
Su Lin stared at Ling Chen strangely, secretly gleeful in her heart.
Just now, when Ling Chen refused to stand up for her, she was fuming in her heart, thinking of ways to torment him. But his words just now left her feeling incomparably refreshed.
Although this fellow was irksome at times, at the crucial moments, he would still show his worth.
At that time, maybe because Ling Chen's words hit a sore spot, Song Yuan gnashed her teeth. "What gall you have, actually daring to speak to me like that."
Ling Chen harrumphed. "Just now, I don't know who it was that called me spineless."
Song Yuan frigidly said, "I will remember your name. Ling Chen, if you have the guts, then stay here. I'll show you the consequences of offending me."
"Sure, then I'll stay right here."
Ling Chen curled his mouth into a mocking smirk and carefreely stood at one side, not taking her threat to heart at all.
"Why are all of you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and get someone to drag him out. This is a women-only private establishment, when did we allow men to enter willy-nilly like that?"
Song Yuan pointed to the four workers and scolded loudly.
Although the private club only entertained female customers, all the members of the security team were male. After the workers notified them, not even a second later, five security guards came rushing to the scene.
Initially, the worker merely wanted to clear the venue and bring the guests into their respective rooms, but none of them wanted to miss the exciting show that was about to play out. Thus, they all chose to stay. Anyhow, everyone was wearing bikinis or had a bath towel wrapped around them now, so they were not afraid of the security guards looking at them.
"Ling Chen, why don't you go outside first?"
Su Lin recalled the rule prohibiting males and reminded him in a low voice.
"Alright, I'll go outside then."
Song Yuan smiled coldly. "Didn't you say that you were competent, you said you had the balls to stay here and not leave? If you have the ability, then stay put right there."
"Ling Chen, don't fall for the tricks of this bitch. Just go out first."
"You still dare to call yourself a man? Peh!"
Hearing her taunt, Ling Chen's originally raised foot immediately went back to the ground. He could ignore any other insult, but not the ones that questioned his dignity as a man.
"Miss Song, I can confirm that I am a man, but you will never see for yourself. That's because even if you deliver yourself to my bed, I will never spare a glance at you. There's no other reason, it's just that I find you too dirty and I'm scared of contracting an illness."
