Chapter 58: The Conspiracy of the Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, and Sister-in-law
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, sister is here, don’t be afraid...”
Lin Xi held Lin Xue gently, patting her back with a heart full of worry and comfort.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened?”
At that moment, Lin Canglan and Li Meiya arrived, clearly late.
Both appeared clueless, their faces filled with confusion.
“Xixi, Xiaoxue, what’s going on?” Li Meiya asked.
“Mom...”
Lin Xue burst into loud tears in Lin Xi’s arms, sobbing as she complained:
“I was sleeping, and my brother-in-law, no, that butchering beast, somehow came into my room and... he... he...” she wailed.
Ye Huan watched Lin Xue’s nonsense without expression, saying nothing.
By now, he had figured it out: Lin Canglan and Li Meiya had invited him to stay overnight at the Lin residence and drastically changed their attitude toward him—all to set Lin Xue up to falsely accuse him.
Damn it!
The mighty Underworld King was being trapped in this filthy little family gutter!
“What?”
Lin Canglan and Li Meiya, having heard Lin Xue’s words, pretended to be furious.
“You beastly dog, I’ll kill you!”
Lin Canglan, seemingly losing all reason in his fury, stormed toward Ye Huan and slapped at his face.
Ye Huan glared.
Lin Canglan’s hand froze mid-air, too afraid to strike.
He knew Ye Huan had broken Jin Peng and Su Lei’s legs and had witnessed him break Su Danchen’s arms and legs.
He had also heard that Ye Huan had beaten Lin Qingyun multiple times.
There was no doubt in his mind: if he went through with that slap, Ye Huan would break his leg in return.
“Xixi, look at this dog who defiled Xiaoxue and still refuses to admit his guilt.”
Lin Canglan switched from slapping to pointing at Ye Huan, then complained to Lin Xi.
“Xixi, look at the wonderful son-in-law you found for me. You two just got your marriage certificate and haven’t even held the wedding yet, and he’s already defiled your sister. If you officially marry him, won’t he defile me too?”
Li Meiya said angrily.
Hearing this, Ye Huan was instantly displeased. Mother-in-law, who exactly are you trying to disgust? Maybe you should look in the mirror.
---
Lin Xi glared fiercely at Ye Huan. Her face turned ashen with anger, her breathing heavy.
But she said nothing, not immediately taking sides; instead, she struggled to calm herself first.
She felt this entire scene was unreal.
“Sis, please make this man leave. He’s terrifying; he’s not human. I never want to see him again... boohoo...”
Lin Xue cried even louder when Lin Xi didn’t explode.
Lin Canglan and Li Meiya exchanged a glance. Lin Canglan said angrily:
“Xixi, you saw what kind of man this butcher is. Marrying someone like him will ruin our entire family. Call your grandfather now and tell him what he did to Xiaoxue.”
“Xixi, do you still harbor illusions about this butcher? Do you have to wait until he defiles me and Xiaoxue before you give up on him?” Li Meiya questioned furiously.
Lin Xi ignored Lin Canglan and Li Meiya, pushing Lin Xue away. She looked at Ye Huan, suppressing her anger as she asked:
“Aren’t you going to say something?”
Ye Huan shrugged:
“You’re smart, aren’t you? Can’t you see through such a crude little trick?”
Lin Canglan, Li Meiya, and Lin Xue were infuriated by his words.
“What are you saying, butcher? Are you claiming we ruined Xiaoxue’s innocence just to break you and Xixi apart?”
Li Meiya turned into a shrew, throwing a tantrum.
“You bastard! You defiled my daughter and then framed us to set a trap for you. How can the world have scum like you?”
Lin Canglan pretended to be outraged, pulling out his phone.
“I’m calling the police, right now. Without evidence, you’ll have to explain yourself to them.”
He was about to dial when Lin Xi stopped him.
“I want to hear you say it yourself!”
Lin Xi looked at Ye Huan with an expressionless face.
In truth, she already believed this was a plot orchestrated by her parents and sister.
First: Her parents suddenly invited Ye Huan to stay overnight and treated him overly well, which itself was suspicious.
Second: Since Ye Huan had secretly undone her pajama buttons and toyed with her all night, he could have taken her if he wanted; there was no need to harm Lin Xue.
Third: Given Ye Huan’s strength, Lin Xue had no chance to resist—she must have been playing tricks.
“Lin Xue sneaked into your room, woke me up, told me a secret, and tricked me into her room...”
Ye Huan recounted the story in detail.
“He’s lying!”
Lin Xue retorted.
“Sis, you must believe me. It’s not like he said. He sneaked into my room, defiled me, and now he’s falsely accusing me of seduction and framing him.”
Li Meiya immediately chimed in: “Xixi, you know what kind of person Xiaoxue is. As her sister, you’re the one who knows her best. She would never do such a thing.”
Lin Canglan used moral coercion:
“Xixi, would you rather believe a stranger you just met a few days ago than your own sister?”
Lin Xi wasn’t swayed by her family’s words.
She asked Ye Huan: “Do you have proof that your story is true?”
“No!” Ye Huan shook his head.
Lin Canglan, Li Meiya, and Lin Xue laughed triumphantly.
“Xixi, did you hear that? This butcher just made everything up to frame Xiaoxue,” Li Meiya said venomously.
“Xixi, you have to trust your own eyes and your family. You can’t let Xiaoxue be defiled for nothing.” Lin Canglan lamented deeply.
“Sis...”
Lin Xue switched to pitiful mode, clinging to Lin Xi and sobbing loudly.
“It seems that no matter what, I can never clear my name of defiling Lin Xue!”
Ye Huan got off the bed and said in a deep voice.
“What do you intend to do?”
Lin Xi suddenly felt a bad premonition.
Lin Canglan, Li Meiya, and Lin Xue suddenly felt a victorious hope—this butcher had no evidence to prove his innocence and was forced to confess!
“Since your parents say I defiled Lin Xue, and Lin Xue says I defiled her, I refuse to take this blame silently!”
Ye Huan approached, pried Lin Xi and Lin Xue apart, and grabbed Lin Xue’s arm with a bit of force.
Lin Xue staggered back, crashing onto the bed and lying there.
“In that case, I’ll just defile you properly, right in front of your parents and sister.”
Ye Huan casually tore off the shirt Lin Xue had shredded and leered toward the bed.
“You dare...”
Lin Canglan and Li Meiya were furious.
“You’ve known me for two days. Have I ever done anything I wouldn’t dare?”
Ye Huan turned to Lin Canglan and Li Meiya, his voice cold:
“You can try to stop me, but I warn you, if anyone dares to touch me, I’ll break their arms and legs.”
