Chapter 76 - First rate gold digger Part3

At the other end of this exchange, Su Lin froze in surprise and anger. She was wholly and utterly flustered.

This flirt !! He is getting bolder and bolder by the day!!

She twisted and turned her body to free herself from his restraining grasp.

But it only ended up making things worse and brought her face to face with that godsend perfect, flawless look.

Looking at those piercing eyes, staring right back at her, straight into her soul, her heartbeat began to quicken.

She was suddenly very aware that she was a woman and he was a man.

However, she refused to admit defeat and protested against her body's involuntary response.

She gritted her teeth and searched for any potential weak spots in this tall, muscular animal rooted in front of her.

In just a few long seconds, a smile danced on her lips, followed by an evil look on her face.

Yup, continue what you are doing ȧsshole.

She snickered inside, eyeing, and aiming carefully at her target location.

She took a deep breath and was just about to knee Luther in his precious area when a loud sound interrupted their intimate atmosphere and saved Luther from weeks of pain.

The loud voice startled Luther and brought him back to reality. He shuddered and immediately let Su Lin go.

"Oops. Sorry about that." He chuckled weirdly, and awkwardly scratching his head.

His shy, guilty look brought out his cute dimples and made him all the more alluring and intoxicating.

Controlling herself, she rubbed her hɨps and arms, where he had forcefully retrained her.

"Monster! I hope there are no marks on my skin." she murmured.

The loud voice, utterly ignored, and gravely offended, demanded their attention again.

"You filthy whore."

This time everyone responded and finally paid attention to the source of the voice.

Luther angrily took a step forward, while a sad smile crept on Su Lin's sweaty face.

Grandpa Han was standing at her gate, shaking and bursting with anger, with Su Han by his side, constantly reminding him to stay calm and watch his blood pressure.

Luther stepped forward to chuck the geezer and this random dude out of their house.

"Wait," Su Lin softly said. "Let me explain this, grandpa."

"Explain what bitch ?"

Su Lin was shocked and stood still in her tracks.

She didn't expect the kind and soft-hearted grandpa Han to speak such harsh and uncouth words.

"Shi Meng, again and again, tried to tell me exactly what type of woman you are. It was my mistake not to trust him."

"I can .." Su Lin murmured.

But her voice was drowned in the endless criticisms, and judgment grandpa Han threw her way.

"Shut the hell up. How dare you cheat on our Shi and act so frivolous like this? That too so openly?"

"A married woman, behaving so dirtily, aren't you ashamed?"

Huff.. Huff.. Grandpa Han's face thoroughly reddened with agitation and anger.

"And.. And to top it all, how dare you! How dare a whore like you demand a share of our Shi's sweat and blood!!"

"Ptui. Do you not even have a modicum of sense and decency?"

His disappointment and anger slowly turned a shade darker into outrage.

"A bitch will remain a bitch. Forget about shame, who gave you the courage to do this? With us as enemies, dog, how are you even planning to survive in this city?"

The loudness of his voice increased a decibel, and grandpa Han slowly mouthed, "I will personally see how you are surviving in this city from today onwards. Hmph. Know your place trash."

He then abruptly turned around and got into his car. Slamming the door, he signaled Su Han to make a move.

Looking indifferent, Su Han tossed his share of stones at the patiently and calmly listening to Su Lin.

"Miss Lin. I am sorry things have progressed so far. Everything has a chain reaction. Surely, you must understand at least that much."

He lifted his glasses and added, "Be sure to vacate the house and the store in one hour. Else we will evict you ourselves and take legal actions for trespassing."

Su Han then slammed the gate door shut and left together with grandpa Han in their obnoxious sports car.

The dust from the car settled, and a complete silence enveloped the atmosphere.

What were they supposed to do now?? They had just finished setting everything up last week.

And now they were ordered to vacate the entire premises in an hour?! That was ridiculous.

All three looked at Su Lin, anxious, and worried.

But surprising everyone, Su Lin didn't even show the smallest signs of despair or helplessness.

Only a sad smile hung on her lips.

Looking at her anxious friends, she chuckled and calmly stated.

"Looks like grandpa Han's love had a price tag attached to it."

Looking at the strong unfazed woman standing in front of him, Luther was once again taken aback.

This woman...

From the day she had planned, she clearly didn't expect that old guy to show up and chide her so much.

He even went as far as evicting her within an hour. And still, she didn't falter or panic!

What sort of hardships did she go through, to train her heart and mind like this? He wondered.

Luther chuckled as he watched Su Lin's calm and sturdy demeanor.

His lips curved into a playful smirk, wanting to break that cold and frigid exterior of hers.

He took a step forward and put his chin on the woman's shoulder, who was clearly lost in her thoughts, trying to sort things out.

"Hmmm?" Su Lin jerked and moved away in surprise.

With a twinkle in his eyes, Luther smirked and gazed into her confused, "If money is your problem, I might be able to help you out, my dear."

He then playfully tousled her hair and leaned closer again, gently whispering in her ears.

"Want to marry me? I can give you ten times of what's there in your bank account." Luther chuckled.

Su Lin instantly stiffened. "What?"

She couldn't even tell if this annoying fellow was serious or not.

Luther smirked and casually replied, "Yup, Exactly what you heard!"

With that devilishly handsome face lingering close enough to feel the warmth of his breath, Su Lin couldn't help but lose herself in his gaze.

Marry him?

Su Lin shuddered. She was never going to fall for that trap again. 

Love and marriage was something she neither believed in nor was interested in.

She instantly recovered from her stupor and pushed him away.

"Dream on." She angrily scoffed.

Luther chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

He didn't really mean anything by the offer and his main intention was just to tease her a bit, but even then a small feeling of disappointment tugged at his heart.

"Hmph. Whatever."

He walked over to a side sulking and curiously looked at how this arrogant woman would deal with this situation.

While Luther was moping in a corner, Su Lin was busily handing out instructions.

Actually, when grandpa Han threw out his first insult, Su Lin instantly knew where this conversation was headed to.

So she immediately came up with a decently doable plan.

Other than the herbs, they really didn't have much at the Han family guest house. It was already furnished and they were just using it as a hotel.

So the only thing they had to deal with was the huge herb garden that Su Lin was personally growing.

Normally, she would just leave it as is. It's only a few months of effort and can always be replicated.

Besides they order what they need from outside suppliers mostly.

But still, she decided to make an effort and go through the transplantation process because of her small experiments.

Most of the plants, Su Lin grew in her private garden were not normal herbs.

She had carefully and tediously crossbred selected few herbal plants with each other to improve the medicinal outcome.

So she was extremely curious about these special herbs and had patiently waited for months to examine the results.

In fact, they just needed about two more months to fully come to fruition. There was no point in simply throwing away all that effort.

"Wang Yu, I know your old village had a few empty plots in their herb farms, the last time I had visited. Can you call the chief and ask if we can use that temporarily?"

"Runyan, can you book a big transportation vehicle to come to our house, so we can pack all the herbs for transplantation."

"Luther can you help Runyan with the packing."

"I will go to the store and get our stuff from there."

Su Lin packed her paltry things in a big bag and dragged it out front.

She then called a cab and waited by the gate, ready to leave, when her shadow joined her.

Su Lin glared at Luther. This fellow! Hasn't he already annoyed me enough today??

"Wherever you go, I go boss" Luther smiled and mischievously answered her glare.
