When Did I Ever Tarnish Your Lin Family's Reputation?

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

"There are at most 2,000 people here. What difference would it make if each person received one or two taels of silver?"

Besides, the fact that they're willing to kneel down shows that they really need money.

Who among those who are not short of money would be willing to kneel before a child?

The arena was a melting pot of all sorts of people, and there were still many poor people among them.

How could those who put money into gambling possibly kneel down and kowtow?

Those who knelt down and kowtowed were mostly so poor that they couldn't make a living.

This one or two taels of silver could be a lifesaver for them.

Zhou Wanwan gave out two thousand taels of silver. Rong Jin frowned and said, "Are you out of your mind? You actually made her kneel on the ground and call you 'Mother.' Can you handle that?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "As long as you're willing to grovel on the ground and call me 'ancestor,' I'll return your 100,000 taels of silver."

Rong Jin gritted her teeth and said, "So what if you're rich?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly:

That's true, having money is indeed a great thing.

I made over 20 million tonight! So what if I'm happy?

Lin Xiuyuan nearby, said, "Mother, what would you like to eat? I'll have someone bring it over right now."

Zhou Wanwan ordered a few things, and Liu Xiuyuan quickly had them brought over.

Rong Jin scoffed coldly:

"Lin Xiuyuan, are you out of your mind?"

"You actually did something like this for 100,000 taels of silver? If your Lin Family found out, they'd beat you to death!"

Lin Xiuyuan and said:

"I'm just an illegitimate son of the Lin Family. How can the Lin Family control me so much?"

Anyway, I've come to understand now. This 100,000 taels is my life-saving money. What does the Lin Family amount to?

Fu Cheng'an, standing to the side, said, "Oh dear! Brother Lin, your illegitimate son is really going too far. Aren't you going to teach him a lesson?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then saw Lin Xiuwen walk in and say, "Lin Xiuyuan, who gave you the audacity to tarnish the reputation of my Lin Family outside?"

Lin Xiuyuan and said:

"Reputation? When did I tarnish the Lin Family's reputation?"

I'm telling the truth. I am indeed just an illegitimate son of the Lin Family, and my mother is indeed sick.

This 100,000 taels of silver was all given by my mother; it has nothing to do with your Lin Family.

Lin Xiuwen said loudly:

"This 100,000 taels of silver is what you lost, it has nothing to do with my Lin Family, right?"

But why did you trample on the reputation of my Lin Family?

Has my Lin Family ever wronged you in any way?

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and said:

"You haven't done anything to wrong me, have you? So I haven't said anything bad about your Lin Family!"

I kowtowed and called her "Mother" because I knew I was wrong. This 100,000 taels of silver was the money my mother gave me to save my life.

You were the ones who held me down and made me bet all my money on that tiger.

Lin Xiuyuan's brothers next to him looked at him and said:

"Lin Xiuyuan, haven't we treated you well?"

We just wanted to help you make money. If you can't afford to lose, who can you blame?

"Do you think we want to play with a bastard's son?!"

"So poor they're practically penniless. 100,000 taels of silver is all they have left. That's laughable! If you're poor, don't go out and have fun!"

Lin Xiuyuan was trembling with anger; these people always said the same thing.

He was supposed to stay home and read today, but these people insisted on making him come out.

He didn't want to place a bet, but these people just paid for it for him.

He was no match for these people on his own, which is why he lost 100,000 taels of silver.

Zhou Wanwan looked up at Lin Xiuyuan, "Lin Xiuyuan, here's ten thousand taels of silver. It's for the money you gave me when you ordered the food."

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the silver note Zhou Wanwan handed him and said, "I can't accept this. I'm already very grateful to have gotten my 100,000 taels of silver back."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Lin Xiuyuan, "Are you willing to work for me? I can cure your mother."

Lin Xiuwen laughed heartily:

Do you know what illness his mother has?

You dare say you can cure it? His mother has lung cancer, and it's incurable."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Lin Xiuyuan, "You choose for yourself. Take a look at this contract. If you think..."

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the contract carefully and said, "I'm willing to sign."

People gathered around, laughing loudly, "Isn't this a contract of servitude? Zhou Wanwan is Fourth Young Master's servant, so isn't Lin Xiuyuan a servant's servant?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Who said I'm Zhao Rui's servant? Zhao Rui just hired me, right? Fourth Young Master."

Zhao Rui, who liked to show off, coughed and said, "Yes, I just hired Zhou Wanwan to do things for me."

Fu Cheng'an chuckled and said, "That's hilarious. What can a five or six-year-old child do for you?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Fu Cheng'an and said, "I know a lot more. I can communicate with animals, I can heal illnesses, and I can even tell fortunes."

Fu Cheng'an laughed until his stomach hurt, "This is really interesting! She can tell fortunes, why don't you just say you're a member of the royal family?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "I am indeed a member of the royal family! My grandmother is the eldest princess."

Everyone was practically bursting with laughter. Rong Jin rolled her eyes and said, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. You're really good at bragging. Well then, why don't you tell our fortunes?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "I charge for fortune telling; 2000 taels per reading."

"You're just greedy for money! Who do you think would charge 2,000 taels for a fortune telling?"

Rong Jin laughed and said, "Exactly! It's like robbery! How could it be so easy?"

Suddenly someone said:

"I'll give you 2000 taels of silver if you can tell my fortune!"

"Just you wait and see if my fiancée and I can get married."

This man has a fiancée; the two were childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship.

Zhou Wanwan accepted the 2000 yuan divination fee and said, "Wait here for a while, the results will be out soon."

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the man said, "Well? Still no results? You're not a scammer, are you?"

Zhou Wanwan said with a strange expression, "The results are in, so I just told you directly! We can't get married."

The man flew into a rage and said:

"What you're doing isn't fortune telling! It's utter nonsense! My fiancée and I are deeply in love, how could we not get married?"

We're just one step away from getting married.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said, "If you don't believe me, that's fine too! I'm just telling the truth."

The man snorted coldly and turned to leave.

People around them pointed and whispered, "This Zhou Wanwan, even trying to tell fortunes! It's completely inaccurate."

"Who doesn't know that they have the best relationship? How could they not get married?"

Zhou Wanwan didn't mind and smiled slightly:

Believe it or not, I'll put it this way: if we get married, I won't take a single penny.

I will also send them a wedding gift on their wedding day.

Someone chuckled and said, "Tang Ning is getting married tomorrow, right? Then you've got to make sure you give her a wedding gift!"
