Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Lin Mengyao Gets Hit

The thug’s words had reached this point, leaving Lin Mengyao with no doubts. "Who sent you? My uncle, my second uncle, or my siblings?" Lin Mengyao asked coldly.

"Tsk, why are you so annoying, woman? Stop babbling in front of me and get lost. Your brother Biao doesn’t follow the rule of not hitting women. If you piss me off, I’ll hit you even if you’re a woman," yelled the yellow-haired youth who called himself Brother Biao, standing up and brandishing a stick in a threatening manner. He was a head taller than Lin Mengyao, and his imposing presence did have a hint of a gangster from a Hong Kong film; if an ordinary girl were standing before him, she might indeed be scared stiff. However, Lin Mengyao was not an ordinary girl.

The noon sun was scorching, with no shade at the construction site. The fiery sunlight beat down on them unimpeded, making even the air feel restless.

Lin Mengyao’s dust-covered face was burnt with pain, and beads of sweat traced paths down her face, leaving pale, powdery trails. She looked up at the sun and said without stepping back, "I don’t know how much they paid you to cause trouble here, but I’m willing to pay double. I hope you’ll take your men and leave."

"Damn it, don’t you understand human speech, woman? I told you to stop yapping." Brother Biao wasn’t someone who could handle the heat well. He was already unhappy about being assigned this task, and the hot weather only added to his irritability. Lin Mengyao’s persistent chatter ignited his temper, making him itch to smash something to vent.

"No matter how much you pay, I won’t leave. This isn’t about money; it’s about the code of the underworld. Brother Biao wouldn’t break the rules, understand?" Brother Biao’s finger jabbed at Lin Mengyao’s forehead, each jab heavier than the last, causing Lin Mengyao to recoil like a child.

"I don’t understand your underworld code. I only know that my construction site needs to operate, so please leave and don’t delay my schedule," Lin Mengyao insisted, her stubborn gaze stirring Brother Biao’s tightly wound nerves. He clenched his jaw, then laughed, "Do you really think I won’t hit you?" As soon as he finished speaking, and before Lin Mengyao could react, the stick in Brother Biao’s hand struck her head hard.
