120: Chapter 120 The White Lotus's Scheme

Lin Chuge thought that if Feng Rui didn't push her luck, she could temporarily put the past behind her.

Without completely burning bridges, she could barely maintain a superficially peaceful relationship.

But if Feng Rui didn't know what was good for her, then she shouldn't blame her for being impolite!

After returning to the room, Feng Rui cleaned herself up briefly and changed into a new outfit that Lin Chuge had taken out for her.

She also used the medical kit to treat her wounds briefly.

During this process, Feng Rui kept speaking in a manipulative, "white lotus" manner.

"Sigh, little brother A-Xiao didn't mean it, you all must not blame him."

"I'm fine... hiss, it just hurts a little."

"I probably won't be able to wear long dresses or perform recently, but it doesn't matter. At worst, I'll just cancel all my performances for this period."

"..."

These words were mainly intended to make Lin Chuge feel apologetic.

And to pave the way for what she wanted to say next.

Lin Chuge wasn't so dense that she couldn't see through something so obvious.

So, she didn't show much guilt, and even went along with Feng Rui's words: "That's right. Anyway, you've been busy for so long and have earned quite a bit of money; taking this opportunity to give yourself a good break wouldn't be bad."

Feng Rui choked, and the words she had prepared got stuck in her throat.

However, since she had come all this way and fallen like this, she naturally couldn't suffer in vain.

Even if it was forced, she still brought up the topic.

"By the way, I heard you and Young Master Bai Feng broke up. What exactly happened?"

Feng Rui asked with a worried expression.

This matter was almost common knowledge in their circle; even while abroad, she had heard about it long ago.

The reason she asked was that, based on her understanding of Lin Chuge, she was certain that Lin Chuge wouldn't explain such an embarrassing matter in too much detail and would definitely just gloss over it.

Then, she would be able to intervene and manipulate the situation.

But unexpectedly, Lin Chuge said quite bluntly: "Because he first lied to me, and then tried to rape me. I don't want such scum."

"Ah, this... is that so..."

Feng Rui opened her mouth, and the words she originally wanted to use to persuade her were stuck again.

After struggling for a long time, she managed to squeeze out: "Well, that must be because he liked you too much. Otherwise, as a young master of a wealthy family, he could have any woman he wanted, so there would be no need for him to act like that."

Lin Chuge was speechless.

She really wanted to ask Feng Rui if she should listen to what she was saying!

No matter how powerful the Bai family was, they were always suppressed by The Lin Family.

Furthermore, Young Master Bai Feng was just an illegitimate son of the Bai family and couldn't be considered a legitimate heir.

Compared to Lin Chuge, he was worlds apart.

"Feng Rui, you seem to think quite highly of Young Master Bai Feng."

Lin Chuge couldn't help it and said sarcastically.

"No, I don't!"

Feng Rui hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "I just think you're not young anymore, and Young Master Bai Feng's conditions are actually quite good. You should hold onto him."

Nice explanation.

Don't explain next time.

These words were basically dancing repeatedly on Lin Chuge's landmines; even if she cared about saving face, she couldn't tolerate it anymore.

"Feng Rui, if you like him, you can wait for him to get out of jail and marry him. Anyway, I have no interest in such a rapist, understand?"

Lin Chuge's tone was icy, without a hint of joking.

"Chuge, how could you say that? How could I possibly like him..."

Feng Rui gave a dry laugh and didn't dare to continue.

To ease the atmosphere, she immediately changed the subject, pointing to a set in Lin Chuge's jewelry cabinet and asking: "Chuge, is this something you just bought? It's so beautiful! It goes really well with a performance outfit I just ordered. Can you give it to me?"

Lin Chuge really wanted to roll her eyes.

How blind was she in the past to not realize that Feng Rui was such a shameless person?

"No."

Lin Chuge refused decisively, not even bothering to find an excuse.

Feng Rui's expression stiffened even more.

"Feng Rui, your wounds were only briefly bandaged. You'd better hurry to the Hospital to get them checked out. I won't keep you for dinner."

Lin Chuge didn't want to hear another word from Feng Rui and directly showed her the door.

"Yeah, I was thinking of going to the Hospital to check it out first too."

Feng Rui's expression was already very poor, and she could barely maintain even the most basic smile.

Upon arriving downstairs, The Lin Family had no intention of asking her to stay.

The hatred in her heart could no longer be hidden.

She had originally wanted to stay with Lin Chuge for a while longer, but since they were being so disrespectful, she wouldn't be polite either!

"Uncle, Aunt, I'll be leaving then... Oh, right, I have a performance here this weekend. I've already reserved tickets for everyone. You must come!"

Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei exchanged a look, clearly not wanting to go.

Feng Rui seemed to notice their thoughts and turned to look at Lin Chuge, feigning an expectant look, "Chuge, you'll come to support me, right?"

Of course, Lin Chuge didn't want to go.

But just when she was about to refuse, Lin Xiao's inner voice echoed in her mind.

[I'm so conflicted. If Big Sister goes tomorrow, there will definitely be a good show to watch, but I don't want Big Sister to be annoyed by this woman. What should I do?]

[Feng Rui was diagnosed with heart disease a while ago and needs a heart transplant, but she has long squandered all the money she earned. She has no money for the surgery at all, and both Young Master Bai Feng and Lin Yu are too busy with their own problems to help her.]

[She can only pin her hopes on Big Sister. So, she plans to stage a "life-saving grace" drama on the day of the performance, just like the incident during the spring outing many years ago, to morally blackmail Big Sister into having The Lin Family take responsibility for the rest of her life!]

...

Hearing Lin Xiao's inner voice, the rest of The Lin Family frowned.

They had been deceived by Feng Rui for so many years and were unwilling to be deceived any longer.

But before they could refuse, Lin Chuge spoke first.

"Sure, I will definitely go this weekend."
