Chapter 3 The Face Has Changed Too

"Miss Su is so young, yet has such a poor memory already? Of course, it belongs to the Lin family!" The servant sneered with increasing disdain.

"Good," Su Fanxing's smile became even more radiant. "Then may I ask, whom did I marry?"

"Of course, our master, Lin Tianyu! As if you're worthy of our master!"

"Miss Servant, now let me ask you again, do I have the authority to have you serve dinner?" Su Fanxing's gaze sharpened instantly, coldly regarding the still oblivious servant.

"Miss Su, the Lin family has its own rules..." the servant began again.

Su Fanxing immediately interrupted, her aura engulfing the space like a devouring beast.

"Miss Servant Li, the ground beneath your feet belongs to the Lin family, and as the lady of the Lin family, I can make it so you cannot stay here, let alone find a place in the Zhang or Li families! Miss Servant Li."

The repeatedly used "Miss Servant Li" was like a sharp knife plunging into the servant's heart at that moment.

"Ma... madam..." The servant finally knew fear, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at Su Fanxing, the pressure bearing down on her as if facing the master himself.

"Do you realize now that I am the lady of the house?"

However, Su Fanxing lacked her initial carefree spirit, coldly smoothing out the wrinkles on her clothes, her calm demeanor emitting an oppressive force.

"Madam, this servant has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the rules; it would be better if you leave her to me," the butler suddenly appeared amidst the silence, his face maintaining the usual propriety, without any apparent faults.

The servant seemed to have found her backbone in an instant, sobbing bitterly as the smell of tears mingled with the scent of tea.

"Uncle Lin, I realize my mistake, I acknowledge my error. I just disrespected the madam, it was me..."

Miss Li wished to continue her pleading.

"Uncle Lin, I know I was wrong. Please don't send me away. I shouldn't have obstructed the madam, I shouldn't have been rude to the madam; it's all my fault, I know I was wrong..."

Watching as Miss Servant Li cried nearly to the point of fainting, still begging the butler for mercy, Su Fanxing laughed.

From the moment Uncle Lin appeared, this Miss Servant Li had been apologizing to him, without giving her a second glance, as if she was a terribly vicious person, oppressing her weaker self?

She hadn't said a word yet.

Observing Miss Li's increasingly pitiful demeanor, well aware of her grievances yet unable to voice them, Su Fanxing's eyes gradually narrowed.

Watching as Uncle Lin was about to speak, she interrupted directly, "Miss Servant Li, since you admit you were wrong, then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Su Fanxing had quite a lot of time, indeed curious to see what kind of demons and monsters the Lin family harbored.

Apparently not expecting to be questioned like this by Su Fanxing, the servant momentarily froze, then immediately grew even more pitiful.

"Madam, it's actually almost time for us to leave for the old residence. If we prepare breakfast now, we will certainly be late..."

The implication was that because she, Su Fanxing, was throwing a tantrum, this was why she had spoken out, thus offending her?

She had thought that a servant's word would not be believed, but unexpectedly, the always respectful butler Uncle Lin showed a distressed expression, rarely speaking up, siding with the servant, "Madam, it's indeed a rule set by the old master..."

"Given that, Uncle Lin, who is now the head of this household?" Su Fanxing's gaze turned even colder, today's display apparently deliberate.

"Madam, rules are rules..."

"Answer my question."

"It's you and the young master," Uncle Lin's eyes flickered.

"The master of the Lin family used to be only Lin Tianyu, but from today onwards, it includes me! How come I have to look at my hired servant's face to decide when I eat in my own house?" Su Fanxing said contemptuously, her words resounding with impact.

Uncle Lin, was also a servant of the Lin family.

With these words, an eerie silence fell over the scene, a flicker of vigilance passing through the butler's eyes.

"Madam, I was presumptuous," in just a few seconds, the butler returned to his initial respectful distance, as if his lapse were someone else's illusion. "Miss Li, please go to finance to collect your salary."

"Uncle Lin, no—I won't leave..." Miss Servant Li's expression collapsed in an instant; it seemed she hadn't anticipated that the usually kind butler would dismiss her.

That's not what the other servants said!

They had said that the young master took pleasure in their tormenting this new madam...

...

As the car heading to the old residence just left the Lin family, Su Fanxing spotted a familiar figure—it was Miss Servant Li, recently dismissed, still lingering near the Lin household.

Thinking of the morning's events, Su Fanxing smiled.

"Really ugly, don't ever smile in front of me again, disgusting."

Suddenly, a disgust-laced, icy voice rang in her ears, and Su Fanxing turned back to see Lin Tianyu's face full of disdain.

She froze for a moment, feeling utterly baffled, but then decided to act as if she hadn't heard anything.

Never mind, she would endure it; she wouldn't stoop to argue with a cripple!

Amidst her internal rant, the car steadily stopped in front of a villa.

With that question in mind, Su Fanxing got out of the car, barely steadying her feet, when Lin Tianyu, who hadn't spoken all the way, finally opened his mouth.

"Su Xinuo, remember your place, do not do what you shouldn't do."

Bewildering...

Uncle Lin, the butler, wheeled Lin Tianyu inside, and Su Fanxing hurried to follow.

They didn't encounter anyone along the way until they met someone, and then the quietness was broken.

"Yo, big brother, back already? Is this my sister-in-law?"

In the quiet living room, a person appeared from around the corner of the staircase, eyeing her with ill intentions.

Su Fanxing looked up to meet his eyes, and after a few seconds, judged this person, a frivolous and impolite playboy.

"The second young master."

Uncle Lin spoke up, and Su Fanxing understood this man's identity.

It was Lin Tianze, Su Xinuo's former fiancé.

The man kept his attention on her, and seeing her look over, he walked directly toward her, speaking teasingly, "So you're my big brother's wife, Su Xinuo?"

Listening to this, Su Fanxing detected something off.

Since Lin Tianze was Su Xinuo's former fiancé, he couldn't possibly not recognize her, which made his question interesting.

The Lin brothers were indeed intriguing.

"I am."

Su Fanxing smiled brightly yet composedly.

Perhaps not seeing the panic he expected, Lin Tianze appeared somewhat disappointed.

"Tsk, kid, I was playing people on Wall Street while you were still figuring out where you were."

"Xinuo, my big brother is really clueless about romance, and he's very serious. Why don't you come with me? I promise to make you happy."

Lin Tianze smiled with deep affection and focus.

Su Fanxing's eyebrows subtly raised. He's seducing his brother's wife, right in front of his own brother. what a messy circle.

However, she was also curious about Lin Tianyu's reaction. She glanced at him with her peripheral vision but noticed that this man was as indifferent as ever, revealing no other expressions.

From this, she could tell that Lin Tianyu had married her merely for revenge.

"Happy?" Lin Tianyu's face was expressionless.

"Look, brother, how scared Xinuo is of you, you two won't be happy together. Xinuo and I truly love each other, and if it weren't for your interference, she would already be my wife! Plus, now that you're crippled, how can you make Xinuo happy? So, big brother, better not hold back Xinuo anymore, right?"

The words were heartfelt and earnest, but the person concerned, Su Fanxing, was not pleased.

As Lin Tianze spoke, he reached out as if attempting to grasp her hand.

Su Fanxing slapped his hand away impatiently.

"Second young master, keep your hands to yourself."

Why involve me in your competitive feud with your brother?

"Xinuo, why have you changed, not supporting me?" Lin Tianze suddenly leaned in closer, looking at Su Fanxing with a smirk hinting at malice.

Su Fanxing had a bad feeling, which was confirmed the next second.

He looked at Lin Tianyu, sitting in his wheelchair, like a demon in the darkness, "Brother, look, since marrying you, Xinuo has changed a lot, not just her personality, but her face doesn't quite seem the same either—"
