Chapter 1411 Chicken Bone

A hound suddenly sprang out and triumphantly wagged its tail at Lin Xun.

Although it was merely a dog, it was dressed in well-tailored clothes and there was even a string of purple-gold bells around its neck.

Grumble~

Lin Xun\'s stomach grumbled uncontrollably.

He glanced at the dog, which shuddered in terror before fleeing with its tail between its legs.

It was a scene that would make anyone recall the phrase ‘panicking like a stray dog.’

Lin Xun retracted his gaze while inwardly thinking that it had been a long time since he tasted dog meat...

"Wangcai! Wangcai!"

In the distance, a group of servant-like individuals anxiously chased after the fleeing hound.

"Beggar, stop there!"

A somewhat pretty but bossy-looking maidservant angrily blocked Lin Xun\'s path, pointed at him, and scolded, "What have you done to scare Madame\'s dog...ee, you\'re...you’re the little young master?"

She abruptly stopped reprimanding him.

The maidservant’s eyes widened in disbelief when she recognized Lin Xun.

Lin Xun also recognized the woman before him. It was Xiaocao, the maidservant who had accompanied him since young.

However, he hadn’t seen her for many years after the Lin Family fell into ruin.

From the looks of it, she was doing quite well after leaving the Lin Family. Although she still seemed to be a maidservant, she was dressed in rather nicely embroidered clothes and exuded an aura of wealth.

"It\'s you, Xiaocao."

Lin Xun felt that it was necessary to greet her. After all, Xiaocao had been an ‘acquaintance.’

"Don\'t call me Xiaocao!"

The maidservant’s expression suddenly darkened as she sneered, "Do you think you’re still the little young master of the Lin Family? Look at you now, you’re even less than a dog yet you still try to cling to me? Let me tell you this. If you dare to tell anyone that I was once your maidservant, I will make sure you regret it!"

She appeared to be very worked up and anxious to clarify that there was no relationship between them.

Lin Xun looked at her for a moment. He didn\'t say anything and walked away.

Not even the slightest hint of emotion was displayed from start to end, which surprised Xiaocao.

However, her surprise was soon followed by anger. She rushed up to him again and said, "Did you hear me? You are truly a fool who is less than a dog even after living for so many years. Your parents are dead, the Lin Family is in ruins, and you’ve even been expelled from the family. Who knows, maybe you’ll one day be frozen to death, and no one will be there to help you collect your corpse!"

Lin Xun continued moving forward as if he hadn\'t heard her.

This only aggravated Xiaocao. She gnashed her teeth and said, "You’re indeed a fool. It’s no wonder Madame chose to annul the marriage back then. Who would want to marry a fool like you?!"

Lin Xun stopped and asked, "Madame?"

Upon seeing that there was finally a reaction, Xiaocao appeared pleased as if she had won the battle and disdainfully said, "You still remember the Madame? Yes, my Madame is Wang Ziluan!"

Was there anyone in the present Yujing City who didn’t know Wang Ziluan? Moreover, Wang Ziluan\'s husband, Huangfu Shao Yu, was one of the few bigwigs in the city.

It was rumored that Huangfu Shao Yu had been designated as the successor to Qingyun Sect and would sooner or later be in charge of Qingyun Sect!

"Well, do you feel horrible now? Don’t you feel angry?"

Xiaocao sneered, "Unfortunately, if I was the Madame, I would never have married a fool like you either! Do you still remember when I asked if you were angry back then?"

Lin Xun frowned as if he was struggling to remember. After a long time, he finally said, "Back then, I said that she wasn’t worth getting angry over."

Xiaocao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about now?"

Lin Xun answered, "It\'s the same now."

When he said this, his originally dull eyes became clear as if a fog had been dispelled from them.

Xiaocao felt indescribably frustrated and helpless. Could this fool be incapable of feeling any mockery or ridicule?

He truly was a fool born amidst a heavenly phenomenon!

Any normal man would likely already be overwhelmed by rage. In contrast, he appeared to be unaffected even in the slightest!

Xiaocao felt as if she wanted to rip her hair out and had a strong premonition that she would cough blood out of anger if she said another word to this fool.

"Miss Xiaocao, Wangcai has been found."

In the distance, the servants happily returned with the well-dressed hound.

An idea suddenly struck Xiaocao. She pointed at Lin Xun with gritted teeth and said, "He was the one who frightened Wangcai earlier. Do you guys know what to do?"

The eyes of the servants immediately turned unfriendly as they looked at Lin Xun and rubbed their knuckles.

Lin Xun, however, appeared oblivious as his stomach growled again at the sight of the fat hound.

"Aow!"

The hound, Wangcai, barked in terror as it struggled free and madly sprinted away.

Everyone was stunned.

Xiaocao anxiously shouted, "What are you guys standing around for? Go and chase it! If Wangcai is lost, don\'t even think about coming back!"

The crowd of servants hurriedly scrambled after the dog.

"What a fascinating dog."

Lin Xun smiled. His eyes were so clear and clean that they would make anyone’s heart shiver.

Xiaocao was taken aback. If her memory was correct, this was the first time she had ever seen Lin Xun smile.

However, she was soon annoyed. Was the smile of a fool worth her attention?

Xiaocao took a deep breath and threw out these words as she hurried away, "Remember what I said, if I hear any hint of you telling others about our relationship in the future, I will be the first to kill you!"

Lin Xun was taken aback. He felt slightly baffled and regretful as he walked away into the snowy world of white.

"Eh, isn’t that the foolish young master of your Lin Family? Tch, look at him, he looks no different from a beggar."

In a restaurant, a group of Yujing City’s noble descendants were gathered.

The remarks from the young man seated by the window immediately elicited a wave of laughter as the group turned to look at the street outside.

Amidst the falling snow, the lone figure of a young man in thin clothes who was covered in snow trudged through the street.

"It is him. Who could have imagined that someone who was once so doted upon would one day fall to having to live on the streets?"

"Haha, the fool has already been expelled from the Lin Family."

"Alas, to think the once glorious Lin Family has declined to such a destitute state. Nothing truly lasts forever."

The group sighed.

Of course, it was only pity that was tinged with a sense of superiority and gloating.

There were disciples of the Lin Family among the group, but they were relegated to the most corner seats.

Although the youths were openly dissing the Lin Family, they didn\'t dare to even feel angry. They had no choice. After all, times had changed and the Lin Clan was no longer the number one faction in Yujing City...

Damned bastard, why aren’t you dead yet?!

The Lin Family disciples inwardly ground their teeth, feeling that Lin Xun\'s appearance had made them lose face. Since they had nowhere to vent their anger, they could only place all the blame on Lin Xun.

A Lin Family disciple couldn’t help but say, "Everyone, he’s no longer surnamed Lin and has nothing to do with us."

"Hahaha, look, even the Lin Family doesn\'t want to acknowledge that fool. How pitiful."

Another burst of laughter erupted in the restaurant.

The Lin Family disciples’ expressions stiffened as they kept silent due to embarrassment.

"The fool is so pitiful. Give him a bone to eat."

A Wang Family disciple stood up, picked up a chicken bone, and threw it out the window, causing it to land at Lin Xun\'s feet.

The Wang Family disciple loudly said, "Fool, hurry up and eat so you don\'t starve."

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became a lot quieter. Such behavior was tantamount to humiliating Lin Xun and was more hurtful than a slap to the face.

However, no one said anything.

After all, it was a Wang Family disciple. The present Wang Family was the number one faction in Yujing City and possessed unmatched power and influence that far exceeded the Lin Family of the past.

This was all thanks to the excellent son-in-law of the Wang Family, Huangfu Shao Yu.

The Wang Family disciple who had thrown the bone was called Wang Zilong and was Wang Ziluan\'s younger brother.

If it weren\'t for Wang Ziluan dissolving the betrothal all those years ago, Wang Zilong would have to call Lin Xun brother-in-law. Of course, that was merely a what-if scenario.

Lin Xun was a fool who had fallen to life on the streets, while Wang Zilong was the number one young master in Yujing City. Moreover, his brother-in-law was the far more famous Huangfu Shao Yu!

As such, who would dare to say anything at the sight of Wang Zilong humiliating Lin Xun by throwing him a bone?

Even the Lin Family disciples lowered their heads and didn’t make a sound. They hated Lin Xun more than ever, wishing he had frozen to death in the heavy snow.

On the street, Lin Xun stopped, looked at the chicken bone at his feet, then looked at the restaurant in the distance and the group in the restaurant who were pointing at him.

He bent down to pick up the bone and waved it at the restaurant as he said, "I will repay you in the future."

With that, he kept the bone and gradually disappeared into the distance.

In the restaurant, everyone burst into laughter. Some of them even bent over and were on the verge of having tears flow out of their eyes.

None of them had expected that the fool, Lin Xun, would actually pick up the chicken bone!

Even Wang Zilong was stunned and surprised. He muttered, "What a damned fool. Does he want to repay me? What is he going to do, return a chicken bone to me? That crazy fool..."

Toward the end, he couldn’t help but laugh as well.

In the restaurant, the laughter grew louder and louder.

Only the Lin Family disciples felt increasingly uncomfortable as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

That day, news that the foolish young master of the Lin Family had picked up a chicken bone thrown by Wang Zilong spread and became the laughingstock in the city.
