Shen Junxi didn't know the exact details of what happened but he did walk around the crowd listening to the various gossipers who were excitedly talking about the recent incidents he wouldn't have known what exactly happened. At first, when Shen Junxi saw Lin Chen and Lin Yu sneak out, he thought that the two of them were here to enjoy the show.
But upon closer inspection, he saw that the two didn't look excited at all instead they looked like they weren't happy with the outcome of the young girl who was going to be publically executed after being caught. This guess made Shen Junxi's brain cogs turn and he started to pay a closer attention to what the people around him were talking about. While listening to the crowd of villagers, he heard that a few days ago his niece fell off a cliff and nearly lost her life!
Though the villagers couldn't link these two incidents, Shen Junxi could make the deductions faster than anyone. Why was it that Su Wan fell off a cliff only a few days ago and some days later this girl and this old bastard were caught having an affair? Then he paid attention to Lin Chen and Lin Yu, who seemed a bit dissatisfied with the outcome of the result and suddenly everything clicked.
Shen Junxi didn't have to investigate whether the old man was involved in the case where his Wan Wan was pushed off the cliff because the evidence in front of him alone was enough to let him know that these two were indeed involved in his niece's accident !
Shen Junxi was furious, he didn't know why this girl tried to harm his Wan Wan, but he too thought that her sufferings weren't enough! The girl wanted his niece's life and she only lost her reputation, was that enough? She should suffer for all her life! Because this wasn't enough!
His niece was able to safeguard her life because she was smart but that had nothing to do with this girl. If his niece wasn't smart then she would have died by now! The girl was aiming for Su Wan's life so how was this much enough?
So when Shen Junxi heard Lin Yu say that it wasn't enough he agreed at once.
" eldest Uncle in law? What - what are you doing here ?" Lin Chen's eyes widened as he stared at Shen Junxi in shock, he didn't want his uncle in law to know that he and Lin Yu did something like this, he was afraid that Shen Junxi would take them as scheming and snatch Su Wan away from them.
Lin Yu was startled too, though he wasn't able to fool Shen Junxi completely and suffered under him. He wasn't ready for Shen Junxi getting to know the real him so soon, it was really a bit too much if this eldest uncle in law has found out that he was this kind of man, will he leave his niece in his hands? Of course not! Lin Yu knew that if someday Su Wan gives birth to a daughter for him, he wouldn't let his daughter marry a man like him. He was too scheming and vengeful, not suitable for a good woman like Su Wan.
" what are you looking at me for, you brats?" said Shen Junxi sounding snappy as he caught sight of their ' deer caught in a headlight' expression " finally, I think you are a some good for niece"
Lin Chen and Lin Yu were prepared for Shen Junxi's fury. They never expected him to compliment them by calling them being a bit more deserving of Su Wan. This..what was this? Shouldn't this man be screaming murder and use this opportunity to the fullest to snatch Su Wan from them?
Shen Junxi didn't answer their questions, then extended his hands and rubbed their heads. The thoroughly confused expression of Lin Chen and Lin Yu turned even more complicated, they thought that Shen Junxi might snap their heads off any second but to their surprise, his touch was extremely gentle " you did a good job protecting your wife".
To Shen Junxi being a good man was important but being so good that you can't even stand up for your wife when she was being wronged, was nothing less than being the greatest humiliation of a man's life. One's wife not only follows her husband to his house, but she also takes care of her husband's entire family, suffers through nine months of labour and suffering and gives birth to her husband's child, all because she loves and trusts her man. If that husband can't even protect his wife - then he was like a man with no balls.
Shen Junxi might be a bit crazy but he wouldn't blame the Lin brothers for something that they did right if it was him he too would have killed that person who tried to harm his wife. So, he wasn't hesitant in praising the two at all.
Lin Chen whose head was rubbed and even given a compliment, felt his spirit sore as he grinned and happily asked " so does that mean you won't take Wan Wan away?"
The hand that was rubbing his head was taken back, only to ruthlessly deliver a slap at the back of his head " don't be too full of yourself brat, just because I gave you an inch, you are trying to take a mile! Aren't you ?"
" hehe, but didn't you say that I was a little good for Wan Wan!" said Lin Chen as he ran after Shen Junxi who was walking away " doesn't it mean you have sort of accepted me as your nephew in law?"
" What accepted? I haven't accepted you at all, just because I said that you are a bit good don't try to aim for the sky! For becoming my nephew in law you need to be the best out of the best, just a little good won't do!" Shen Junxi who was immediately regretting praising Lin Chen retorted at once.
But Lin Chen who finally received a little recognition from his eldest uncle in law didn't waver at all because of his loud roar, he laughed and added as he rushed after Shen Junxi " a little is a start too uncle in law!"
"Don't call me Uncle in law!"
Lin Yu who watched their antics, shook his head and looked at Luo Chenxi whose eyes met with his just as turned to look at her, Luo Chenxi happened to raise her head in his direction at the same time , he tilted his head and smirked making Luo Chenxi tremble all over.
She was finished, sooner or later she was going to be killed by this devil.
