Chapter 540: The Wu Siblings
Translator: Lonelytree
Wu Jinwu was frightened by Lin yuelan’s sharp eyes and vicious tone. He immediately shrank his neck, lowered his head, and blushed. He did not dare to resist at all. He was afraid that if he were to show even the slightest dissatisfaction, he would be sent back to prison by Lin yuelan. Then, he would be separated from his big brother, second sister, and third sister, and they would never see each other again.
Wu Jinmei, Wu Jinxia’s eldest sister and Wu Jinwu’s second sister, saw that the atmosphere was not right. She immediately pulled Wu Jinwu over. Although she looked a little panicked, she did not lose her calm. She slightly bent her legs to Lin yuelan and said, ” I’m sorry, master. My little brother is not sensible. In the future, as his sister, I will teach him a lot and give him more advice. ”
Then, she turned to Wu Jinwu and scolded, ” little brother, hurry up and admit your mistake to master. Apologize to master and promise that you won’t make the same mistake again!”
Hearing Wu Jinmei’s words, Lin yuelan raised her eyebrows. She now had a whole new level of respect for this woman, who had been pale and silent from the time she had been in the cell until the time she had been in the Lin family Village.
She clearly looked like she had nothing to live for just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, she actually changed her mind.
It was rare to see a woman with such self-awareness.
Wu Jinwu had been scolded by his sister and was ordered to apologize to Lin yuelan. He could only stand up and say to Lin yuelan in a low and nervous voice, ” master, I’m sorry!”
Lin yuelan nodded slightly. ‘Not bad. He’s not that stupid!’ If he still wanted to act like a young master after being scolded by his sister, she would really consider whether to send him back.
Wu jinwu’s face reddened. He wished there was a crack in the ground so that he could hide in it and escape from the abuse.
After Lin yuelan finished speaking to Wu Jinwu, she turned to look at the others and said sternly, ” I don’t care who you were in the past and what your status was. But now that you’re in my territory, you have to put away all your airs. Everything is centered around me, the master. Or else …”
Her eyes turned cold, and her sharp gaze swept across everyone. She said sternly, ” for those who betrayed me, I will definitely make you suffer a fate worse than death. You must know that your Indenture contracts are all in my hands. Whether you live or die, it’s all up to a word from me, your master!
“I’ve told you before that I’m not a philanthropist. I got you because I saw your value. As long as your value can create enough benefits for me, I’ll give you your freedom. I, Lin yuelan, am a woman of my word.
“If there comes a day when all of you are of no value, that would be after you have betrayed me!”
Lin yuelan’s sharp and powerful aura made everyone’s hearts tremble.
They understood the meaning behind Lin yuelan’s words.
This was because she needed absolute obedience and loyalty. Otherwise, they might end up in a miserable state!
She continued, ” of course. As long as you work hard, you are my family. As long as it’s my family, I won’t mistreat them, and I won’t allow anyone to bully my family. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
This time, it was even more shocking.
What did he mean?
A servant would actually become family?
But weren’t they just servants?
The word “family” struck everyone’s hearts.
From the moment they became official servants, they were ready to be dogs, very obedient dogs at the master’s command.
Wu Jinhua, Wu Jinwu’s third sister, had been expressionless the entire time from the prison to the Lin family Village. It was as if she had isolated herself from the rest of the world, the kind of numbness and silence that a person would have when they were immersed in their own world.
In the outside world, she was like a ragdoll that could be manipulated by others, causing people to feel heartache and pity.
However, when she heard the word family, she suddenly stood up and asked excitedly, ” can you really do it? Can we really become a family?”
