Four people stood at the doorway, and among them, Lin Xingwan only recognized Meng Chuzheng.
Meng Chuzheng was wearing an extremely gentle gauze dress today, her hair tied up high, giving her the air of an elegant noblewoman.
She was affectionately holding the arm of a middle-aged man as they entered from outside.
Following behind them were two young men, one fat and one thin.
The fat one was full of coarse flesh, his skin in terrible condition, appearing like an unreasonable and arrogant nouveau riche.
The thin one couldn't even fill out his clothes, his eyes brimming with shrewdness, as if he were a rat spirit reincarnated.
Upon seeing these four, Zhou Bingwen and Lu Shiyan's faces darkened.
Lin Xingwan, however, focused more of her attention on the middle-aged man Meng Chuzheng was holding.
He wore a casual suit, a pair of glasses, and his skin was fairer than that of a normal man. Even in middle age, he possessed a unique aura that, in his youth, would have made him the type of man women called a "refined scoundrel"—both despicable and handsome. The first impression Lin Xingwan had of him was that this man absolutely had a basement at home, a basement where many people were imprisoned.
The middle-aged man's gaze locked onto Lin Xingwan. He smiled slightly, and wrinkles appeared on his fair face.
But annoyingly, such a smile made every wrinkle seem to radiate charm.
Lin Xingwan had never liked middle-aged men, but this man's appearance broadened her understanding of them.
She could even... somewhat understand why Zhou Jinbai's mother would be with such a man.
He was both evil and wicked, alluring and desirous, like an untamed steed that any woman would want to tame.
Zhou Bingwen immediately used his body to shield Lin Xingwan. "Jia Huaixu, Meng Chuzheng, you ungrateful dogs, what right do you have to be here? Get out immediately!"
Zhou Bingwen's eyes were about to spew fire, as if he would rush to Jia Huaixu and beat him up in the next second.
"What's wrong with me coming to see my son?" Meng Chuzheng sneered. The moment she spoke, her gentle demeanor vanished, leaving only her shrewishness.
"Yes, I can understand my lover coming to see her child with her deceased husband. Why can't you understand your deceased brother? If he has a spirit in heaven, he would also hope his child could have a mother's care, right? Of course, if he wants a father, as long as he recognizes me as his dad, I don't mind having another son."
The two young men behind them burst into laughter.
"Exactly, exactly. My dad is right. As long as Zhou Jinbai calls us brother, we naturally won't disown him as a brother." One of the fat men said with a grin, though his face was full of mockery and disdain. He then fixed his lecherous gaze on Lin Xingwan. "You're Zhou Jinbai's woman? I didn't expect that kid to have such good fortune. When he wakes up, I'll have him lend you to me for a few days. Don't look at me, I'm fat, but my thing isn't small. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
The thin man chimed in, "Big brother is right. We'll play together then. This woman looks like she's got spirit."
Lin Xingwan's expression turned extremely ugly. These four people were simply going too far.
"If you've said enough, get out, or I'll have the bodyguards throw you out." Zhou Bingwen's veins were bulging on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Jia Huaixu acted as if he had heard a joke, smiling at Zhou Bingwen. He then leaned in, patted Zhou Bingwen's shoulder, and his expression instantly turned sinister. "Coincidentally, we have bodyguards outside too. If the two groups of people were to fight, who do you think would suffer?"
Zhou Bingwen was furious. Seeing that they had come prepared, he became even more enraged.
"Then what is your purpose for coming today? Tell me! What do you want?"
Zhou Bingwen roared in anger, his face turning red.
Jia Huaixu said nothing. Instead, Meng Chuzheng finally let go of Jia Huaixu's arm and said arrogantly, "Our purpose for coming today is very simple: to deal with my son's emotional problems."
After speaking, Meng Chuzheng suddenly fixed her extremely disgusted and contemptuous gaze on Lin Xingwan. She carried herself with an arrogance as if she were a god ruling everything in the world. "I don't know what means you used to seduce my son, and I don't care how far you've developed. Today, you must break off all ties with my son. A woman like you, from a humble background, exuding the stench of poverty, not only is unworthy of marrying into the Dongfang family, but even being his mistress would be a blessing from your ancestors for eight lifetimes."
"After your husband's death, you were so eager to marry another man. For over twenty years, you neglected your son. Now that Jinbai has finally found a girlfriend, you're still trying to break them up? How can there be such a vicious woman in the world as you, Meng Chuzheng? Aren't you afraid my brother will become a vengeful spirit and come for you? And what right do you have to look down on Xingwan as unworthy of Jinbai? Don't forget that you yourself had nothing before. It was my brother who gave you everything. I didn't expect you, you slut, to not only kill my brother but also bring shame upon our Dongfang family."
Zhou Bingwen had been using his body to shield Lin Xingwan. The most awkward person in the room was Lu Shiyan.
He tried to minimize his presence, imagining himself as an unfeeling decoration.
Both the Jia family and the Dongfang family were super-rich families he couldn't afford to offend.
"Zhou Bingwen, I don't have the energy to argue with you today. You keep saying we killed Zhou Nianqing, so show us the evidence! If the law can't convict us, are we murderers just because of your words? Besides, even if we killed Zhou Nianqing, you should thank us. If Zhou Nianqing hadn't died, how would you have ended up managing the Dongfang family?"
Meng Chuzheng wore an expression that suggested she had done Zhou Bingwen a favor by killing Zhou Nianqing. This infuriated Zhou Bingwen, and he lunged towards her.
"You slut, I'll beat you to death to avenge my brother! I'll beat you to death!"
However, before Zhou Bingwen could touch Meng Chuzheng, he was pushed to the ground by Meng Chuzheng's two sons.
A 'bang' echoed in the ward as Zhou Bingwen's head hit the floor heavily, drawing blood within seconds.
"You want to touch my mom, old man, you're tired of living!" The fat man grabbed Zhou Bingwen by his collar and punched him in front of everyone.
The thin man joined in, and the two began to punch and kick Zhou Bingwen, who had no way to defend himself.
Lin Xingwan couldn't bear to watch any longer and rushed towards the thin man, pushing him away. She tried to help Zhou Bingwen, but the fat man grabbed her arm.
The next second, she was pulled into the fat man's embrace. "Oh, you're throwing yourself at me now? Sister-in-law, why do you smell so good? Your skin is so tender? You've been well-nourished by Zhou Jinbai, haven't you?"
As he spoke, the fat man's large, thick mouth moved towards Lin Xingwan's face.
"Let go of me, you fat pig, let go of me!" Lin Xingwan struggled desperately but was no match for the fat man. Her arm felt like it was breaking, and the hand around her waist gripped with enough force to crush her.
Meng Chuzheng and Jia Huaixu stood by, a mocking expression on their faces.
As for Zhou Jinbai, lying unconscious on the hospital bed, he had no idea Lin Xingwan was being bullied like this.
Damn it!
Lu Shiyan couldn't stand it anymore. Disregarding the potential offense to the Jia family, he took off the stethoscope around his neck and smashed it onto the fat man's head.
The stethoscope was bent out of shape, and the fat man winced in pain, releasing Lin Xingwan.
He glared venomously at Lu Shiyan. "Lu, I think you don't want to live. Yankang, help me beat this brat."
Upon hearing his older brother's command, the thin man immediately rushed towards Lu Shiyan.
Despite being all bones, the thin man was not hesitant when it came to fighting.
He had only been ambushed by that slut Lin Xingwan earlier, and now he would vent his anger.
Ultimately, Lu Shiyan was no match for the two of them and was soon beaten black and blue.
After all, a refined doctor like him was no match for these two brothers who looked nothing alike.
Lu Shiyan spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs were about to explode. He didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Yankang, take this gold-digger away." Meng Chuzheng glanced coldly around the ward, then linked arms with Jia Huaixu and walked out.
Jia Yankang and Jia Yansong, the brothers, grabbed Lin Xingwan's hands tightly on either side and dragged her outside.
"Meng Chuzheng, let Xingwan go; Jia Huaixu, you hypocrite, I warn you, if you dare to touch Jinbai's woman even with a finger, Jinbai will never forgive you when he wakes up..."
Zhou Bingwen's forehead was still bleeding, and the intense dizziness made it difficult for him to even get up. After saying this, Zhou Bingwen fainted.
As for Lin Xingwan, she was directly pulled into a black car.
Meng Chuzheng sat in the passenger seat, Jia Huaixu drove, and in the back seat, Lin Xingwan sat between the Jia Yankang and Jia Yansong brothers.
They looked at Lin Xingwan like lecherous demons, even starting to touch her.
Jia Yankang caressed Lin Xingwan's face, while Jia Yansong touched her legs.
Lin Xingwan felt utterly disgusted and thrashed wildly to avoid them.
"Don't touch me, it's disgusting, don't touch me!"
"Don't touch me!"
"Help... help..." Lin Xingwan tried to attract the attention of passersby or nearby drivers, but the car windows were tightly shut, and the luxury car had excellent soundproofing. Lin Xingwan's efforts were in vain.
"Zhou Jinbai, that short-lived ghost, might die tonight. You should enjoy yourself and find a good path for your future." Jia Yansong's fat hand gripped Lin Xingwan's chin as he stared intently at her. "You're beautiful, truly beautiful. More beautiful than any woman I've ever been with. Even Xue Manting, the top socialite in Yanjing, would be ashamed in front of you."
"Big brother, if Zhou Jinbai wakes up and finds out we played with his woman, do you think he'll explode with anger?" Jia Yankang's face was filled with the pleasure of revenge. Just imagining Zhou Jinbai's furious expression made him feel like he had finally avenged the humiliation and exploitation of the past few years.
"We'll not only play, but we'll also take pictures and record videos, showing him how we played with his woman." Jia Yankang maliciously plotted. Zhou Jinbai was their arch-nemesis. He had disliked Zhou Jinbai since childhood but could do nothing about him.
Today, he finally had the chance to vent his anger, so he would naturally not let Lin Xingwan go.
Moreover, if word spread in their circle that they had played with Zhou Jinbai's woman, Zhou Jinbai would never be able to hold his head up again.
Lin Xingwan's clothes were being torn apart. Looking at Meng Chuzheng's calm face in the rearview mirror, she couldn't help but question, "I'm your son's girlfriend. You've disappointed him time and time again over the years. Do you really need him to wish you dead before you're satisfied?"
Lin Xingwan's words caused a brief moment of stunned silence on Meng Chuzheng's composed face, a flicker of reluctance appearing in her eyes. But then, she looked at Lin Xingwan in the rearview mirror with extreme coldness and cruelty. "What does being his girlfriend matter? What does it matter that he loves you? A woman who has struggled from the bottom like you, do you think you're worthy of marrying into the Dongfang family? It's fine if he hates me, but I know how to guide him onto the right path. The strong are always lonely. Your existence is not only Jinbai's weakness but also his burden. I will not allow a useless person like you to appear in Jinbai's life. You will only become a stain and a death warrant in his life."
After Meng Chuzheng finished speaking, Jia Huaixu, who was driving, glanced contemptuously at Lin Xingwan, who was being taken advantage of by his two sons. His lips curved slightly.
Except for Lin Xingwan, everyone else found this to be a perfectly normal occurrence.
Even... killing her right now.
"Let go of me! Jia Yansong, Jia Yankang, you two beasts, let go of me."
"If you dare to touch me, Jinbai won't let you go."
"Let me go, you have the guts to kill me today, otherwise, I will definitely repay you tenfold, a hundredfold!"
At this moment, Lin Xingwan intensely resented the four people in the car.
Calling them devils would be praising them. These people wouldn't even be tolerated in hell.
"Then let's see if you have the ability." Meng Chuzheng scoffed, completely unconcerned by Lin Xingwan's threat.
Jia Yankang and Jia Yansong grinned ferociously. Jia Yansong's hand even moved to unbuckle Lin Xingwan's pants.
At this critical juncture, unexpectedly, the car driving on the roadside was violently rammed into a flower bed by another car.
Jia Yansong, being too fat, was thrown out of the car door, and Lin Xingwan fell on top of him.
At the same time, a gloved hand directly grabbed Lin Xingwan's arm and pulled her up from the ground.
Lin Xingwan then cast a surprised glance at the person in front of her.
