My Mr. Mermaid

Chapter 83 by ryuxenji

Yun Duo jumped and let go of Tang Yi-Bai, looking up to see Lin Zi standing at the door. He had his arms crossed, looking at them evenly, his face as pale as a vampire's.

Even seeing him right now, Yun Duo still felt terribly sad. She had trusted in him as a good friend, but he had just used her in return. The important thing was that he had been really nice to her before, even helping her to get out of a tough spot. She had been so moved then, but in the end, under the lovely outer coat was just a callous truth.

Tang Yi-Bai frowned at Lin Zi. "How did you get out so quickly?"

Lin Zi entered the room. "The police have no proof. They can at most hold me for 24 hours." As he said this, his eyes remained on Yun Duo.

Yun Duo raised her head to meet his gaze. She saw that his expression was calm, his eyes cool and unruffled like a dry well. She watched as he walked over to stand before her. Yun Duo's eyes were red as she asked, "Lin Zi, have you been lying to me all this time? The only reason you got close to me was so you could hurt Tang Yi-Bai, right?"

Lin Zi looked at her, and suddenly, he snorted softly and said, "Or else?"

Yun Duo was devastated. She looked at Lin Zi like she was seeing him for the first time. Her eyes slowly turned cold as she continued staring at him.

Lin Zi turned away to break eye contact with her. He then walked around them to stand before Lin Sang's bed, where he looked down at her with gentle eyes. "Sang doesn't want to see you two. Please leave."

Yun Duo said with a cold smile, "Can't face us, more like. Because she has an unreasonable and malicious older brother!"

Lin Zi's face darkened abruptly.

Tang Yi-Bai put his arms around Yun Duo and gently patted her on the shoulder. He said, "Lin Zi, don't think that you'll get away with it."

Lin Zi quirked a brow. "Regardless of whatever you're trying to accuse me of, please provide actual proof. Besides that, Yun Duo, you think I'm unreasonable? My little sister became a vegetable because of him, and all he has suffered is a broken hand. Who exactly is being unreasonable?"

Yun Duo was furious. She broke away from Tang Yi-Bai and stepped forwards to lift her hand — smack! A slap landed on Lin Zi's face.

The slap was hard enough to turn Lin Zi's head, and a faint red hand-print instantly appeared on his face.

Tang Yi-Bai was worried that Lin Zi would hurt Yun Duo, so he quickly moved forwards to pull Yun Duo behind him. However, Yun Duo ignored him and rushed out again to stare at Lin Zi. "I didn't expect you to twist things upside down like this. Tang Yi-Bai saved Lin Sang's life. Is this how you treat your little sister's saviour? If Lin Sang knew you were doing this, she would be turning in her grave!"

Lin Zi glanced at her and then as if he had seen something immensely funny, he said, "When has he ever saved Sang? I know you're anxious to help your lover boy clear his name, but you shouldn't go so far as to make up such a clumsy lie as that, right?"

Yun Duo was surprised. "You don't know? You don't know how Tang Yi-Bai broke his leg back then?"

"He broke his leg in a car accident, and it was Sang who sent him to the hospital. And then, emotional, Sang confessed to him, but in return," here, he threw a cold look at Tang Yi-Bai, "He told Sang to go and die."

Tang Yi-Bai frowned deeply. "I absolutely did not tell Lin Sang to go die. I only said that I never wanted to see her again."

Yun Duo suddenly burst out laughing. After her laughter died down, she shook her head and said, "I understand now. I thought your sister was just a little princess with a problematic personality, but it turns out that, it's not just a personality problem, she has a character problem!"
