Chapter 858 - Being A Nice Person

Lu Tian stood at the side and was in awe of the way his wife handled the situation. He was proud to be her future husband.

Even with his presence there by her side, she was able to stand on her own two feet.

Unlike the aloof man, Lin Hui\'s eyes turned moist. He was touched by all the words Yue Ling said. He could have defended himself, but to know that his boss stepped up for him, he was thrilled.

Xu Long watched from the opposite side of the car, and he wanted to give his lady boss a big thumbs up. If someone were to start trouble with him in the future, he hopes she will be there to defend him.

Oblivious to their thoughts, Yue Ling turns away from Madam Qin. She walks over to Lin Hui and takes a look at his hand.

When she saw that it was only red without any indication of leaving a scar, she sighed in relief inside.

However, she felt remorseful that her subordinate had to suffer such harsh treatment.

Her body turns enough to look back at Madam Qin.

"If it had been someone else, I would have made their life a living hell, but considering my friendship with your daughter, I will let this go."

Although she is angry at what Madam Qin did, she doesn\'t blame Qin Xue.

She (Qin Xue) is an innocent pawn in her family.

Lu Tian knew his wife had said all that she needed to say. He walks over to his wife and gently places his hand on her back.

"Let\'s go. Don\'t waste any more of your breath on people like her."

As he led her towards the car, he sneakily smacked Lin Hui\'s hand away. Despite their current situation, only he can hold her hands.

Feeling the hit, Lin Hui inhales a mouthful of air and silently hiss. He was just injured. Why couldn\'t Lu Tian feel any sympathy for him?

He glared at Lu Tian and wanted to curse the man but was quickly dragged away by Xu long.

"Boss, you and the lady boss can go together. I\'ll drive your car."

Xu Long knew what Lin Hui wanted to do. He shoves Lin Hui into the passenger seat of his boss\'s car. He then gets inside the driver\'s seat while Lu Tian helps Yue Ling into the other vehicle.

He (Lu Tian) closes the door and walks to the other side of the car. However, he makes a quick stop in front of Madam Qin.

His expression, void of any emotions, stares down at the woman like she was an ant.

"My wife was being considerate and let you off easily."

His cold eyes sent a chill down Madam Qin\'s spine, and his words continued.

"But remember this. If the Qin family or Chen family tries anything, I will not sit back and do nothing."

He walks away without waiting for a response and gets inside the car.

As the two vehicles drove away, Madam Qin was left alone in the police station parking lot. It was as if she had turned invisible.

She could not believe how the situation had ended like this. What is she supposed to do now?

Her plan to restore the relationship between the Qin and Chen family has gone down the drain.

She looks at the police station and frantically walks over with stumbling steps. She wanted to report the incident that happened but quickly stopped herself.

If she goes in and reports what happened, she will be the laughing stock of Imperial. Besides, Office Rong, the police officer who called her about Lin Hui, isn\'t a powerful man.

Even if she told the man in detail, she is still at fault because she inaugurated the incident.

She bit her lower lip before turning away and headed for her car.

Right now, she should go home and discuss with her husband. From there, they can think about what to do.

As her car also disappeared from the parking lot, she was unaware that the Chief of Police had witnessed everything.

Chief Ren was watching the entire scene from inside his office through the surveillance cameras. He was tempted to go out and help but stopped himself when he remembered Yue Ling\'s words.

Before leaving his office, she told him not to get involved unless she required his help.

He heaves a long sigh and taps his fingers against his desk.

"What can I do for her without her knowing..."

He ponders over and over on what to do. However, in a split second, his eyes lit up with an idea, and he reached for his phone.

A mischievous grin curls on his lip as he unlocks the screen and searches through his contact list.

"Hehe. I may be the Chief of Police, but I am still a grandfather to her."

He dials a number, and as the line is connected, he clears his throat. He didn\'t leave any room for the person on the other line to speak and speak first.

"Old man, it\'s me. Something interesting happened. Do you want to hear it?"

Inside Lu Tian\'s car, Xu Long was anger with disbelief while steering the wheel. No matter how many times he replayed the scene that happened, nothing made any sense.

"What happened back there? Is that woman crazy? Was she begging for a death wish?"

He punches the steering wheel, and his breathing turns heavy.

"That woman is too evil. You saved her daughter, and yet she did this to you."

When he and Lin Hui left the Chief\'s office, he waited for Lin Hui to finish writing his statement before asking for details. When he (Lin Hui) was done, it was then that he learned about what happened between Lin Hui, Qin Xue, and Chen Xincheng.

He furiously punches the steering wheel again, but his fist lands on the horn, and a loud honk resonates from the car.

"Oh shit."

"Can you drive better? I don\'t want to die, and I don\'t want to face your boss\'s wrath."

Xu Long cursed in surprise but gently patted the steering wheel. He was so livid that he forgot whose car he was driving.

However, he quickly gives Lin Hui a side glance when he hears the man.

Seeing that the man was calm and no ounce of anger could be seen on his face, he exhales a long sigh.

"How are you not angry? Even I\'m angry for you just thinking about what that woman did. She doesn\'t even know you, and yet, she dared to judge you."

He clenched tightly onto the steering wheel like he was clenching his fists.

"You are not a bad person. How dare she judge you and accuse you of humiliating her daughter? It wasn\'t like you were the one pressuring her daughter! You were just being a nice person and wanted to help!"

Lin Hui stares at the road ahead. He knows why Xu Long is angry. Anyone who knew the situation would be furious.

He turns his head to the passenger side window and stares out at the passing buildings. As he did this, his left thumb gently caressed the back of his right hand.

It was as if he was trying to soothe the pain where Madam Qin poured the hot water.

"I was angry at first."

After a long moment of silence, he finally spoke, but one could hear the cracking pain in his voice.

"I was angry that I did something good but got treated like an incompetent person."

He could vividly remember the way Madam Qin looked at him.

The hatred in her eyes was there. It was enough to tell him that no matter how much he strives to be a good person, people will see him as wholly inadequate.

He closes his eyes to get rid of the mixed emotions swimming inside of him. Once he was sure he was composed, he opened his eyes, and his words continued.

"I was angry that I was judged by someone who didn\'t even try to stop and see me as a person."

His head tilts down, and he stares at the slightly red burn on the back of his right hand. A very faint smile appears on his face, but one could see the sadness behind it if one were to look closely.

"When she poured the hot water on me, it was then that I realized reality could be extremely harsh on people like me. No matter how much good I do, I will always be looked down on by others."

Just like how he helped save Liu Ye and his siblings. He thought that by doing a good deed, he would be seen differently by others. He believed he was being a nice person.

However, in the end, there was someone out there like Madam Qin, who would belittle him and see him as nothing but a criminal.

Hearing his piteous words, Xu Long didn\'t know how to react or respond. He may be Lin Hui\'s friend now, but he didn\'t know the Lin Hui before they met.

What was Lin Hui like in the past? How was he raised? What kind of hardship did he go through? What did he encounter that made him think so low of himself?

He (Xu Long) does not know these things, nor does he want to ask as he doesn\'t know if it\'ll bring bad memories for his friend.

As he thought these things, he suddenly wanted to punch himself.

His heart sank, not to his stomach, but down to his feet. Even without asking, he could sense Lin Hui was reliving some deep thoughts about the past.

And it was all because of him.
