Chapter 373 - 373: Melodramatic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Yin family wasn’t very powerful to begin with, and they didn’t seem to care about their daughter, Yin Tao. If Xia Ru really had the intention to deal with Yin Tao, she might really get hurt.

Previously, Lin Jia had heard from Feng Jing that Yin Tao had been kidnapped. Although it was a close call, he was still worried for a while. After all, Yin Tao would usually interact with some criminals. The chances of her encountering danger were higher than ordinary people. If she was targeted by others, her situation would only become more precarious.

Yin Tao felt a little upset when she saw that Lin Jia was genuinely worried for her. Yin Tao wasn’t that stupid. Previously, Ji Wei had dealt with her because Ji Wei had misunderstood her relationship with Zhou Li.

The reason why she was hated by Le Yuan now was because Feng Jing took care of her. Xia Ru had been looking at Lin Jia just now. If Xia Ru really wanted to deal with her, it would probably be because Lin Jia cared about her.

Therefore, it wasn’t a good thing for Lin Jia to be so considerate of her. Yin Tao didn’t want to be treated by these rich and powerful children as a pain in their back.

Yin Tao wasn’t simpleminded. Ever since she transmigrated into the book, she had wanted to extract herself from the plot of the original novel. Now, it seemed that she wouldn’t be marrying Jin Chen and ending up as a woeful wife.

However, reality proved that it was not a good thing for her to be related to outstanding supporting characters like Feng Jing and Lin Jia in the novel.

Yin Tao was very depressed. Even the female lead of the original novel, Yin Ning, didn’t live as melodramatically as her. She had clearly not done anything, but she was hated by so many women. Moreover, they were all from much more powerful families than hers. This way, even if she escaped the fate of marrying Jin Chen, she would not have a good life in the future.

Ji Wei had almost killed her, and now she was hated by Le Yuan and Xia Ru. She had to be more careful in the future.

Yin Tao glanced guiltily at Lin Jia, who was standing beside her. She smiled and said to him, “Brother Lin Jia, I’m a little tired. I’ll go find a guest room to rest for a while. You guys go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”

“I’ll keep you company. This is Feng Jing’s homeground anyway. It’s fine if I’m not around.”

Lin Jia wanted to pull Yin Tao away with him when he finished speaking. However, Yin Tao stopped him immediately. “There’s no need. It’s not appropriate for you not to be present. You should keep Brother Feng company. I’ll be fine alone.”

Without waiting for Lin Jia to reply, Yin Tao ran towards the stairs.

“Xiaotao!” Lin Jia was going to go after her, but Jin Chen stopped him. “Brother Lin, don’t follow her. You’re so smart. Can’t you tell that she’s avoiding you?” “Why is she avoiding me?” Lin Jia asked Jin Chen in bewilderment as he watched Yin Tao walk away.

“What else could it be? Xia Ru was so obvious just now. It’s not like Xiaotao can’t tell.” Jin Chen sighed speechlessly. He felt that Lin Jia was not as smart in handling situations as before.

“It’s obvious that Xia Ru likes you. She’s targeting Xiaotao because you only have eyes for Xiaotao.”

Upon hearing Jin Chen’s words, Lin Jia frowned unconsciously. “It’s not because of Xiaotao that I don’t fancy Xia Ru. What right does she have to vent her anger on others?”

“Sister Xiaotao doesn’t like you. Why should she incur other’s wrath for no reason?”

Jin Chen chuckled and teased Lin Jia, “I didn’t expect my Brother Lin to be rejected one day. This Yin Tao is really interesting. You shouldn’t pester her, lest you cause trouble for others.”

“When did you become so sensible?” Lin Jia looked at Jin Chen. Although he was smiling, Jin Chen still shivered in fear.

“Brother Lin, I’m not lying. She doesn’t like you. Don’t vent your anger on me.”

Jin Chen felt that Lin Jia was even scarier than Feng Jing when he was angry. After all, Feng Jing usually looked cold and serious. Everyone was already used to it. However, it was really scary when Lin Jia, who was always kind and gentle, changed his expression.

“How did you tell that Xiaotao doesn’t like me?” Lin Jia’s voice wasn’t loud, Jin Chen heard him clearly.

“The way she looks at you is completely different from the way Xia Ru looks at you. Also, she clearly wants to avoid you.. How could it be possible that she likes you…”
