Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 357 - 358: The Unexpected Rescue
Lin Banxia checked the news online half an hour later and saw that everything had been cleanly deleted.
Out of sight, out of mind—her heart was much less agitated. Lin Banxia knew that all of this was thanks to Yan Ting.
This man’s efforts for her were crystal clear, and his care and protection brought a sweet, warm feeling to her heart.
Lin Banxia sat in a recliner, savoring the peace of the afternoon.
Suddenly!
There was a loud banging sound from the direction of the front gate. She snapped her eyes open and hurriedly walked toward the gate.
What’s going on?
Lin Banxia felt that the antique gate was about to be smashed to pieces by whoever was outside. Furious, she swung the door open.
Standing outside were a group of men and women, around twenty or so people. They were holding bags filled with rocks and eggs, which they were hurling violently at the pear garden’s gate.
"What are you all doing?" Lin Banxia saw the damaged gate and the mess of eggs on the ground. She was so enraged her whole body trembled.
"Lin Banxia, you still have the audacity to show your face! Someone as shameless and despicable as you would’ve been drowned in the pond in ancient times, do you know that? A cheap tramp, a filthy wench—this world is full of misfortune because of women like you who know no shame. You’ll get your comeuppance!"
"Don’t waste time talking to her—just pelt her with eggs! Women like her are the tumors of society, a plague. Wipe them out one by one!"
"Lin Banxia, you should hurry back inside and stay hidden. For the rest of your life, don’t ever come out to harm others again!"
Hearing their hateful words, Lin Banxia’s beautiful face turned pale as a sheet. Her small hands clenched tightly, and her whole body trembled with fury.
"Stop it! Don’t throw anything else! If you keep harassing me, I’m going to call the police!" Lin Banxia’s mind was in a daze, but when she saw the pear garden’s gate destroyed like this, she couldn’t hold back her anger and shouted furiously.
"You dare to call the police, you filthy tramp?"
An egg flew straight at her chest.
Lin Banxia didn’t have time to dodge. The front of her shirt was instantly soaked with egg liquid, and she was so infuriated she could go mad.
"I’m not the kind of person you’re accusing me of being! Stop it—you’re framing and wronging me!" Lin Banxia shouted weakly, but her voice was too faint. Who would believe her?
More eggs flew at her, and she couldn’t escape. Her whole demeanor grew increasingly disheveled.
As the barrage of eggs continued, Lin Banxia didn’t react much—until suddenly, someone fiercely hurled a rock at her.
Lin Banxia saw the rock flying straight toward her head and froze. At that moment, a figure sprinted out of nowhere and shoved her violently to the side.
The rock hit the figure’s forehead in an instant.
Lin Banxia was pushed so hard she fell to the ground, her appearance even more wretched.
"Ah... Who is that? They’re bleeding! Let’s go, quick!"
"Who threw the rock? We agreed to only throw eggs..."
"It wasn’t me! I didn’t throw it!"
"It wasn’t me either! I wouldn’t dare—the rock could kill someone."
The arrogant mob scattered like birds and beasts the moment they saw someone injured.
Lin Banxia froze. She turned around and saw Huo Qinglin lying on the ground, his forehead bleeding from the stone’s impact, unconscious.
"Huo Qinglin?" Lin Banxia painfully climbed up from the floor, staring in disbelief at the man lying there with blood streaming down his forehead.
How could it be him? He actually shielded her from the rock?
