Chapter 119: Her Heart Ached for Him

"Damn, it really is him!"

"I was wondering why the name Chang Zai sounded so familiar. Was he kicked out of Yihan Group because of this?"

"No way, why would the show invite someone like him? His character is questionable!"

"After following this for days, you’re telling me this guy is a scumbag? I just didn’t feel it before..."

Suddenly, netizens erupted in heated discussion. The hashtag #XuNuoErForcesLinFengToApologize climbed to the top trending list, garnering over two hundred million views.

Xiao Ran was stunned, spinning around in surprise. “Brother Lin, isn’t she your ex-girlfriend?”

*Pfft—*

Xu Nuo’er burst out laughing. Looking at Xiao Ran with feigned friendliness, she said, “Little sister, don’t tell me he’s been lying to you? He’s a heartless bastard.”

“I won’t let you speak about Brother Lin like that!” Xiao Ran snapped angrily, glaring fiercely at Xu Nuo’er.

Seeing this, Xu Nuo’er was somewhat surprised and glanced at Lin Feng. “You really are a master of deception, making everyone spin around.”

If she hadn’t recognized in time that Lin Feng never intended to boost her career, she might have been moved by his hypocritical acts.

Back then, Lin Feng promised to spend money and pull strings for her to focus on acting, but in reality, she was just a third-rate supporting actress.

She had even once felt grateful to Lin Feng...

Recalling how she was deceived, Xu Nuo’er’s patience ran out. Her face flushed with anger as she glared at Lin Feng. “Tell me, when are you going to apologize to my brother?”

Faced with such accusations, Lin Feng only found it amusing. Raising an eyebrow, he ignored Xu Nuo’er and instead looked at Xiao Ran.

“Miss Xiao, do you think what she says is true or false?”

Standing before Lin Feng, Xiao Ran was taken aback. She tilted her head and looked up at him, instinctively shaking her head without hesitation. “False.”

Lin Feng was a bit surprised; he expected Xiao Ran to sound uncertain.

“You trust me that much?” he asked.

“Of course,” Xiao Ran nodded firmly. “I know what kind of person Brother Lin is. I have my own judgment!”

Her words stunned everyone present instantly.

The livestream chat exploded with activity.

“Miss Xiao, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Don’t you want to know more?”

“I don’t think Lin Feng is the type to hit people. Besides, if he actually assaulted someone from the Xu family, why haven’t they taken revenge for so long?”

“Exactly, they haven’t even called the police. I think this whole thing is probably fake…”

“If it’s not true, then why is Xu Nuo’er slandering Lin Feng?”

“To stir up publicity!”

At the scene, Xiao Ran’s words reached Xu Nuo’er’s ears. Her face instantly paled, and she began cursing sharply.

“Your own judgment? He almost caused Xiao Jie to have a car accident. Those are facts. What kind of good person do you think you know?”

Being insulted in front of others, Xiao Ran grew angry, ready to retort. But then Lin Feng’s voice cut through.

“You say I framed him and nearly caused his accident. Do you have any proof?”

Xiao Ran quickly caught on and responded, “Yes! Yes! Show the evidence!”

Nobody expected Lin Feng to be so assertive. In the past, he was always humble and kind, never losing his temper with her, but now...

Seeing Xu Nuo’er freeze, Xiao Ran immediately understood. She leaned toward Lin Feng and flashed a “smile.”

“Sister, if you say Brother Lin hurt your brother, then you need to provide proof. Baseless accusations are defamation!”

She blinked, feigning curiosity. “Could it be that you’re just looking for an excuse to get close to Brother Lin and stir up publicity?”

Though Xiao Ran’s words were full of sly insinuations, the livestream’s momentum skyrocketed.

Lin Feng rested his hand on the fishing rod, calmly fishing as if he weren’t involved at all.

Xu Nuo’er was clearly on the defensive, her face pale. She finally lost control and furiously pointed at Xiao Ran.

“What evidence do you need? My brother’s hospitalization records are here. Ask him—if he hadn’t beaten my brother, would he have agreed to leave the Xu family empty-handed?”

Her demeanor was a stark contrast to the elegance she had displayed when stepping off the boat; now, she looked like a shrew cursing in the street.

Lin Feng didn’t even turn his head. His voice was calm as he said, “Miss Xu, just so you know, I hit your brother after I got out.”

“Did you hear that? Brother Lin hit him... after he got out.”

Xiao Ran echoed this, but mid-sentence, she felt something was off. “Brother Lin, you really did hit him?”

Xu Nuo’er’s expression immediately turned smug. “Ha, caught you lying…”

“Of course. How could I not hit him? He secretly filmed girls changing clothes and refuses to repent. As a security guard, it’s my duty.”

Lin Feng stared at the water and explained calmly.

“Wow…”

Xiao Ran gasped, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Lin Feng. “Brother Lin did the right thing. People like that deserve it...”

“You—” Xu Nuo’er was about to retort with pride but heard Lin Feng’s words and instantly lost her composure.

“You say my brother secretly filmed others? What proof do you have?”

Lin Feng glanced sideways at Xu Nuo’er, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Big sister, there is surveillance footage.”

In an instant, Xu Nuo’er was stunned!

Surveillance footage?!

Her sister hadn’t told her there was footage!

“You still can’t hit Xiao Jie! Our Xu family raised you all these years, and you’re so heartless. No wonder Dad calls you an ungrateful wretch!”

Raised? Xiao Ran was stunned again and instinctively looked at Lin Feng.

The camera switched to Lin Feng immediately.

Among the heated discussions online, Lin Feng held his fishing rod, expression calm as he looked out over the sea. His voice was cold and indifferent.

“Ungrateful?”

“Back then, the Xu family was just a small shop. I brought the Xu family from nothing to its current scale. When your brother came back, to repay the family’s kindness, I knew it was time for me to step aside, so I chose to leave with nothing.”

His voice was soft and distant, his serene expression like a fishhook in water—still and unruffled.

Then he slowly turned his head, eyes hollow as he asked, “What, Xu Nuo’er, do you think that’s still not enough?”

As if recounting a story that wasn’t his own, yet his tone ignited a firestorm of discussion.

Offscreen, Chu Lingshuang paused mid-sip, quietly watching Lin Feng on the screen.

He was so calm, yet she sensed his heart had shattered into pieces.

Only those who have suffered the deepest sorrow can carry such an expression.

For no reason, she felt a pang of sympathy for him.

Xiao Ran’s eyes widened as she stared at Lin Feng. Forgetting her sister’s warning, she couldn’t help but grab his arm tightly, her gaze full of sympathy.

“Brother, don’t hold it in. If you want to cry, just let it out...”
