The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 277
277. Young Master Lin is Giving Her a Way Out
Lin Nuo’s understanding of well-bred young ladies was refreshed.
Elegant and graceful, especially mindful of etiquette in large gatherings, even if they had opinions about someone, they would still treat them politely on the surface.
This is the common perception of well-bred young ladies.
Of course, this is just the conventional understanding.
After all, there are countless variables in this world.
Qin Shili, proud and aloof, occasionally giving cold remarks, could be understood, but it was surprising to see the gentle Liu Shuqin also joining in the group berating.
Of course, Liu Shuqin’s berating was considered elegant, saying things like “harsh words are good medicine” and “for Zhou Hui’s own good,” always maintaining the moral high ground in public opinion.
Su Kexin, on the other hand, was more straightforward, directly saying Zhou Hui was embarrassing and sticking out her tongue, a typical little girl’s mocking manner.
As for Luo Xiaoxue, she was steady yet ruthless, saying things like “nouveau riche” and “won’t be able to eat with a smile in the future,” which seemed boastful but were actually all true.
After all, she had enough capital to fully qualify to say such things.
Lin Nuo walked over, still not having started eating, holding a few peanuts in his hand, occasionally popping one into his mouth.
Noticing Lin Nuo approaching, the girls all turned their attention to him.
Lin Nuo asked:
“What’s going on?”
“Just giving Miss Zhou some advice,” Qin Shili responded first.
“I think you don’t need to bother with her, it will lower your status. Here, have a peanut to calm down.”
Lin Nuo gave each of the four girls a peanut. Ideally, it would be better with some wine, but they probably didn’t drink, so he let it go.

“Hmph, Lin Nuo, you can’t outtalk me yourself, so you let them speak for you. Bullying with numbers, is that your style?” Zhou Hui said angrily.
“Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t instigate them, and besides, you don’t have the right to make me instigate them. Everyone knows what you’re like, and it’s already good enough that they just said a few words to you instead of beating you up.”
Lin Nuo casually ate peanuts while mocking Zhou Hui.
“Also, don’t talk about magnanimity. I’m very magnanimous, otherwise, how could you still be standing here talking?”
If Zhou Hui were treated as a major villain, she would definitely be gone.
“What’s going on with you all?”
Lin Nuo’s father, Lin Yuan, walked over, with Zhou Hui’s father, Zhou Wu, standing beside him.
“Father, they are bullying me because they have more people.”
Zhou Hui quickly leaned on her father, acting coquettishly, hoping to take the opportunity to retaliate against them.
“Nuo’er, is this true?” Lin Yuan questioned Lin Nuo.
Zhou Hui thought Lin Nuo would definitely deny it and explain that it wasn’t true, and then she would continue to act coquettishly, making the explanation more and more unclear.
Then Lin Nuo responded nonchalantly:
“There’s a problem with her words. They didn’t bully her, it was just me bullying her. So what, is there a problem?”
“No, junior brother didn’t…”
Liu Shuqin was about to explain, but Lin Nuo immediately stuffed another peanut into her mouth, interrupting her:
“Peanuts are delicious, eat more. I suggest you don’t say anything, this is between me and the Zhou family.”
Lin Nuo immediately turned his gaze to Zhou Wu and continued:
“The Zhou family is a big family, surely they wouldn’t really fuss over a down-and-out young master like me, right?”
Zhou Wu felt that Lin Nuo was being a rogue, so he turned to Lin Yuan and said:
“Master Lin, my daughter Hui’er is very delicate and cannot tolerate grievances. Please make a decision.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Lin Yuan immediately turned to Lin Nuo and said sternly:
“Nuo’er, apologize to Miss Zhou.”
“Why don’t you apologize yourself? Why didn’t anyone apologize to me before?”
Lin Nuo sneered, unknowingly finishing the peanuts, “Sigh, finished so quickly, I need to get more.”
“Nuo’er, you are very rude, after all, you represent our Lin family.”
“Don’t give me that, who represents your Lin family?”
Lin Nuo retorted directly in front of Lin Yuan. As a villain, he usually didn’t mind giving face, but now that he was unhappy, he definitely wouldn’t give face.
He didn’t care about any reputation. If you want to oppress him, he definitely wouldn’t give face.
He had dozens of ways to destroy the Lin family in his mind, but he hadn’t fully entered villain mode yet, so he was holding back.
If the Lin family dared to push him again, he wouldn’t mind entering villain mode early.
The situation had become tense. What was supposed to be a joyous celebration turned sour, and everyone’s attention shifted to Lin Nuo and his group.
The Lin family was embarrassed, but Lin Nuo was secretly pleased.
This was good. The situation had escalated, and the Lin family’s reputation was ruined. Everyone was happy.
Seeing that Lin Nuo took the blame to protect their reputation, Luo Xiaoxue couldn’t stand by idly.
At this moment, she had already approached Dai Sheng and another minister. The two of them came forward, bowed, and Dai Sheng said:
“Lord Lin, Lord Zhou, there has been a misunderstanding. We were also nearby and witnessed the whole incident. It was Miss Zhou who started the trouble, and Young Master Lin merely responded appropriately. As for the accusation of bullying, it was just to give Miss Zhou a way out, but she didn’t appreciate it and maliciously accused him. We couldn’t stand by and had to clarify the matter.”
“This…”
Lin Yuan and Zhou Wu were greatly surprised.
Dai Sheng and the others were high-ranking court officials and wouldn’t deliberately favor Lin Nuo. This might really be the truth.
If this was true, it would be very awkward.
Lin Nuo was also confused.
Where did you two come from? What do you mean I gave her a way out? Am I that kind of person?
Lin Nuo quickly came forward to clarify:
“You two don’t need to speak for me. In fact, I did bully her.”
“No, Young Master Lin, you are magnanimous, we know that. But we can’t let you be wronged. We couldn’t bear it and had to come forward to tell the truth.”
Dai Sheng quickly responded. This was the princess’s intention; they had to restore his reputation.
“No…”
“Young Master Lin, don’t say any more. We all saw what happened, and the ladies also witnessed it.”
“Don’t twist the facts.”
Lin Nuo was exasperated. He was just in the mood to confront the Zhou family and Lin Yuan, and then others said he was rude. This was the treatment a villain should get.
You’re making me look bad.
“Yes, yes, Young Master Lin indeed gave her a way out, with good intentions.”
Luo Xiaoxue immediately echoed, “It’s a pity she didn’t appreciate it and even slandered Young Master Lin. Lord Dai, don’t you think this lacks the virtue expected of a noble?”
Dai Sheng quickly agreed: “Yes, yes, lacking virtue, the Zhou family shouldn’t act like this. Lord Zhou should reflect on this.”
Now more people were criticizing, and Zhou Wu’s side was at a great disadvantage. After all, they were the ones bullying, and being condemned by high-ranking officials, they immediately lost their confidence.
“Sorry, I, Zhou, failed to teach properly and caused trouble for Young Master Lin. I apologize to Young Master Lin.”
Zhou Wu quickly bowed and apologized with Zhou Hui. Although Zhou Hui was unwilling, she had no choice but to do so.
Lin Nuo: “…”
What? You just gave in like that? Keep arguing, I was looking forward to confronting you.
Now that you’ve apologized, what’s the point of me arguing?
