Without turning back, just by the sound of the voice, Lin Feng knew that the person saying those words must be a sharp-tongued woman.
Sure enough, when Lin Feng turned around to look, it was indeed a woman who matched his imagination, pointing at Yuling and saying that line.
"Hong Dou, what do you mean by that? Watch your words," Yuling clearly recognized this sharp-tongued woman named Hong Dou and also turned around to speak.
"Hey... aren't you doing just that? Afraid of what I say?" Hong Dou, seeing Yuling's beautiful face that made her feel inferior and jealous, couldn't help but speak harshly. For someone like her, such words came out effortlessly without any thought.
To put it bluntly, she was the kind of woman often referred to as a shrew.
"Hong Dou, let me tell you, these two are my bosses. We are preparing to choose outfits for tonight's Jade Exhibition. Don't say anything reckless," Yuling explained, clearly lacking experience in dealing with such situations. Lin Feng could even see panic in her eyes.
This woman was still a bit inexperienced in handling such scenes. Lin Feng knew that the more Yuling explained, the more Hong Dou would take advantage of it.
When encountering such a woman, one either pretends not to hear and lets her talk until she tires out or gives her a good lesson; otherwise, she wouldn't stop.
And Lin Feng clearly would not choose the former method. He was known to be protective of his own. He had once fought for Fatty against Chen Xinni's so-called gangster boyfriend, so naturally, he could teach Hong Dou a lesson for Yuling as well.
However, Lin Feng was not a brute and would not resort to crude methods.
The so-called lesson would not involve physical confrontation; he looked down on using such tactics against women.
"Can you keep your mouth shut? That guy over there, how do you manage your woman? Did I provoke you by bringing my girlfriend to buy a dress for my uncle? Can you just be quiet?" Lin Feng walked over and wrapped his arm around Yuling while addressing Hong Dou and the man standing next to her.
Although Lin Feng's words were insulting, they also served as a strong explanation. Whether the other party believed him or not was irrelevant; in Lin Feng's eyes, she was someone who didn't even qualify as a passerby and wasn't worth his attention.
"Are you her boyfriend?" asked the man standing next to Hong Dou, who had been staring intently at Yuling without speaking until now.
Hou Qian could not accept that the woman he had just taken a liking to was someone else's girlfriend.
"Is this even a question? I mean, you don't have any inappropriate thoughts about my girlfriend, do you?" Lin Feng naturally noticed that Hou Qian might have developed feelings for Yuling and pretended to be incredulous as he asked.
"Hey... I say, Hou Qian, you scoundrel, here I am arguing with you, and your mind is all on that woman. Are you trying to dump me to pursue her?" Hong Dou, hearing Lin Feng's words and knowing that Hou Qian was not exactly a good guy, quickly turned around and indeed saw her boyfriend staring intently at Yuling. She began to throw a tantrum, shouting at her boyfriend.
"Don't pull me, Hong Dou. I've put up with you for too long. Let's break up right now." For someone like Hong Dou, who was materialistic, Hou Qian often played around before discarding them. Now that he had encountered Yuling, he naturally had no interest in Hong Dou anymore. Moreover, with Hong Dou making a scene in public, he decided to expedite the breakup. He shook off Hong Dou's hand and spoke with a tone of absolute determination.
"Fine! You wretched person..." At that moment, Hong Dou realized she had been too impulsive. She liked Hou Qian's money and usually catered to him. Now being dumped in front of him made it even harder for her to accept, and she cried out loudly.
The sound was truly dramatic.
Especially since she had just been dumped in front of Yuling; wasn't that a slap in the face?
"Yuling, how do you know such a woman?" Looking at this pair of extreme individuals, Lin Feng could only smile helplessly as he asked Yuling, who was still in his embrace. Subconsciously, Lin Feng believed that Yuling should not be friends with someone like her.
Yuling then explained to Lin Feng how she came to know this woman named Hong Dou.
It turned out that this woman also graduated from the same major as Yuling at their school; she could be considered a woman with a college diploma.
However, her initial choice of major was not pure in motivation. She had high ambitions and insights regarding Yuling's archaeology major. In short, the reason she studied archaeology and appreciation was entirely to connect with wealthy individuals in the Jade Industry and pursue her materialistic path.
Coincidentally, Yuling and she were dorm mates.
At first, they got along well since neither came from wealthy families. Living together naturally provided some common topics; they would eat together as their living expenses were similar and there was no need for comparison. They got along for quite some time.
But gradually, Yuling noticed that Hong Dou had an immense thirst for money. Coming from a less affluent background herself, Yuling understood the desire for wealth; she hoped to earn money to support her family and lessen her parents' burden. However, Hong Dou's way of thinking about making money was not through hard work but by getting to know wealthy young masters who would give her gifts and money.
This method was difficult for Yuling to accept, but after spending some time together in the same dormitory, they often saw each other. Yuling didn't say much; their relationship had simply become less close than before.
Hong Dou's attitude towards Yuling had gradually shifted from being frustrated that Yuling didn't know how to use her beauty to make money, to one of disdain. She realized that she and Yuling were not on the same wavelength.
Initially, the two had differing opinions but no obvious conflicts, so things remained as they were. However, one day Hong Dou discovered that a wealthy young master from their school, whom she had been trying to win over, was secretly in love with Yuling. From that moment on, Hong Dou developed a strong dislike for Yuling.
Hong Dou's idea of relying on wealthy men to make money was not entirely unfounded; she was not unattractive herself. However, compared to Yuling, there was simply no comparison. Thus, from then on, Hong Dou became even more antagonistic towards Yuling.
Fortunately, at that time the school changed dormitories, and Yuling and Hong Dou were no longer in the same room. This allowed Hong Dou to calm down a bit, but whenever they met, she would still throw sarcastic remarks at Yuling. Yuling focused on her studies and chose to ignore her.
Later, after finally leaving school, Yuling thought she could start a life without any intersection with Hong Dou. Unexpectedly, while shopping with Lin Feng and Uncle Chen, she ran into Hong Dou, who put on quite a show.
After hearing Yuling's account, Lin Feng realized that the story between Yuling and Hong Dou was surprisingly dramatic. Although the plot was cliché, it was still a fact.
"Ah... I see now. I didn't expect our Yuling to be such a femme fatale," Lin Feng joked to Chen Sheng, who was also listening. They didn't take Hong Dou or the person named Hou Qian seriously at all.
"Exactly! Our Xiaoyu is just too capable; if people aren't jealous of you, you're mediocre," Chen Sheng chimed in.
"Uncle Chen, Lin Feng is being ridiculous; you shouldn't encourage him," Yuling said in response to their teasing.
"Ah... Miss Yuling, right? I'm Hou Qian. Here’s my business card; it's a pleasure to meet you." While Lin Feng and Chen Sheng were just getting the full story of what had happened, Hou Qian had already finished arguing with Hong Dou and eagerly approached Yuling to introduce himself.
Seeing this unfold left Lin Feng speechless. This Hou Qian was truly an exceptional scoundrel.
Of course, being speechless was just an attitude; anger was what Lin Feng felt at that moment.
Putting aside whether he was truly Yuling's boyfriend or not—he was standing right there with his arm around her—this guy just came over to get close to Yuling as if he didn't exist! Lin Feng was furious.
The consequences are very serious.
"Mr. Hou Qian, right? My girlfriend isn't used to interacting with other men besides me, so I accepted this business card on her behalf. Well, we still need to pick out some clothes, so let's leave it at that for today." As a cultured person, Lin Feng felt that even if he was angry, he shouldn't resort to violence casually.
"Ah, how about this? After you finish choosing the clothes, Miss Yuling, would you like to join me for a drink?" That guy was still not giving up. Lin Feng had already taken Yuling to another area to pick out clothes, yet he still followed them, persistently asking Yuling out on a date.
To Lin Feng's ears, the phrase "have a drink" sounded like an invitation for a date.
In fact, that was exactly what Hou Qian meant.
You think I won't get rough? Lin Feng didn't like the feeling of being ignored. He gently extended his right foot, and the guy, in a hurry, ended up face down on the ground. Lin Feng estimated that his nose must have been broken.
But that's fine; Lin Feng thought that even if the guy's nose wasn't broken, he wouldn't be handsome anyway—at least not as handsome as himself.
"Hou Qian! Hou Qian! Are you okay? Yuling, you two scoundrels, don't go! If anything happens to my Qianqian, I will definitely call the police on you!" Hong Dou, who had been ignored by Hou Qian all along, saw him fall and knew it was her chance. She quickly shouted for Lin Feng and the others to stay while loudly proclaiming that perhaps her unwavering loyalty would make Hou Qian recognize her again.
She regretted arguing with Hou Qian earlier out of impulse. After all, being with Hou Qian might not make her a wealthy lady, but at least she wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing. If she couldn't rely on a rich man, she could at least rely on a slightly wealthy one.
"Lin Feng, what should we do?" Yuling had also seen Lin Feng extend his foot and naturally knew that Hou Qian's fall was caused by him. She quietly asked Lin Feng what to do since she had no experience handling such situations and didn't know how to proceed.
"Hehe... Don't worry; I'm here." In contrast, Lin Feng had plenty of experience dealing with such matters. He dared to hit Song Xin; how much more could he handle a little rich kid who didn't know his place?
