Pure Love Imprisoned: My Ex-Boyfriend, Who Blamed Me, Imprisoned Me in Love

After hanging up the phone, Meili asked her who she wanted to invite to dinner.

Lin Mian and Mei Li had just moved and had planned to go shopping for some new things over the weekend. Right now, the two of them were having dinner at a restaurant.

Lin Mian only vaguely said that she was inviting her family relatives to dinner.

She first found a famous restaurant and booked two private rooms. Then she found a security company online and hired eight 1.8-meter-tall men.

The next day, when they went to a restaurant, Lin Mian brought the eight burly men with her. She told the eight men to wait in the next private room, in case of any emergency, she would smash a glass.

Lin Mian waited in the private room for a while, and then her uncle and aunt arrived with the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhiwen had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were somewhat sunken, and he wore glasses that concealed his wandering gaze. Zhang's mother followed beside him, and as soon as they entered the private room, she apologized to Lin Mian, saying that what had happened before was a misunderstanding and that they had acted impulsively.

"My son explained to us after he came back that you two separated later, so you didn't come back together," Zhang's mother said, stroking her son's thin back repeatedly, her face showing unconcealed heartache.

"Our Xiao Wen has lost so much weight, she must have suffered a lot."

Zhang Zhiwen smiled and said, "Yes, we did suffer a bit... Let's sit down and chat while we eat."

My uncle also said, "Yes, yes, everyone sit down."

Mr. Zhang sat in the far corner, his face long and silent the whole time, not at all like someone who wanted to apologize or make peace.

The waiter slowly began to serve the dishes. The atmosphere at the table was not relaxed. Only Aunt Zhang and Zhang's mother were trying to find topics to talk about and liven up the atmosphere to avoid awkwardness.

As Lin Mian ate her food, she could feel Zhang Zhiwen's gaze on her from time to time, which carried a cold, malicious intent.

"Xiao Mian," Zhang Zhiwen suddenly spoke, "Have you told your family about being kept by a murderer over there?"

The entire private room fell silent after those words were spoken.

Lin Mian put down her chopsticks. She knew Zhang Zhiwen was up to no good, but she didn't expect him to say this so suddenly.

She didn't let herself follow Zhang Zhiwen's lead. She asked, "Did you tell your family how you got back?"

Zhang Zhiwen's expression twisted for a moment. He suddenly stood up, pulled open his shirt, and revealed the gruesome gunshot wound on his shoulder.

"Your murderer boyfriend shot me." He made sure everyone could see the scar, his eyes fixed on Lin Mian. "How did I get back? I'm lucky to be alive, otherwise I would have been dead by your and that man's guns!"

"When you two shot me, you didn't expect me to come back alive, did you?"

Everyone at the dinner table stared at Lin Mian in astonishment, but she didn't speak immediately.

Lin Mian wiped her mouth, threw away the towel, stood up, grabbed a glass, and smashed it hard on the ground.

With a loud crash, it shattered, startling everyone into wide-eyed stares.

Lin Mian then said, "When you threw me to those human traffickers and sold me to strange men, saying I was beautiful and clean, did you ever think I would survive?"

Zhang Zhiwen was caught off guard. He opened his mouth, about to say something, when the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open by two bald, burly men. A group of burly men rushed in, startling Zhang Zhiwen so much that he trembled and hid behind his mother's frail body, his face pale.

He was terrified of being beaten up when he was abroad.

The other people in the private room were equally stunned.

Eight burly men walked to Lin Mian's side and stood on either side.

Lin Mian continued, "You invited me to dinner today because you want to settle old scores? Fine, let's settle them now, but do you dare?"

Zhang Zhiwen said, "I only said a few unpleasant things; I didn't actually push you to anyone."

"Didn't you grab my hair and make those men look at my face?"

Zhang Zhiwen raised his voice, shouting, "But you're alright, aren't you? It looked dangerous at the time, but your ex-boyfriend was right next to you. You were perfectly fine. It was me who got shot and was about to die!"

"Your boyfriend even arrested me and locked me up with the dogs; I was almost eaten by them!"

"You guys even use guns and shoot me like a target. Compared to that, what does my betrayal of you matter?"

Lin Mian said, "I guess you're trash, I guess you're a coward, and I guess I'm just unlucky."

She walked towards Zhang Zhiwen, and this one action almost made him jump.

Zhang's mother quickly stepped in front of Zhang Zhiwen, and Zhang's father slammed his hand on the table and stood up. Just as he was about to explode, he was blocked back into his chair by the burly man hired by Lin Mian.

Lin Mian, speaking across Zhang's mother, asked Zhang Zhiwen, "Was your return arranged by someone?"

Zhang Zhiwen seemed to have found his confidence. He stared at Lin Mian and said, "Yes, someone sent me back to cause you trouble. And those people have already set their sights on you and your family. Your whole family, be careful you don't get hit by a car tomorrow."

Zhang's mother was the first to be frightened: "Son, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhang Zhi asked, "Whether I'm lying or not, you can ask her!"

Lin Mian wasn't scared at all: "If those people could really do that, they wouldn't have bothered sending a coward like you back; they would have just called someone to run me over."

Zhang Zhiwen was about to explode with anger after being scolded, but when he saw the burly man behind Lin Mian, he sat back down in his chair.

"Don't think you can be arrogant for long. Your boyfriend is being targeted too, and he'll be in trouble sooner or later. He'll be shot dead on the street." Zhang Zhiwen saw Lin Mian's slightly changed expression and finally became smug.

"By then, you won't even be able to collect his body. His corpse will just rot on the road, eaten by wild dogs and gnawed by maggots."

Lin Mian looked down at him and retorted, "He wouldn't."

Zhang Zhiwen raised his eyes, his expression turning provocative: "That's hard to say. You're not by his side, how do you know how he is now?"

Lin Mian took another step forward, bypassed Zhang's mother, grabbed Zhang Zhiwen by the collar, and yanked him up abruptly.

"I don't know what he's like, but I know what you're going to do later," Lin Mian warned. "Stay away from me and my family from now on, or you'll be in trouble."

Lin Mian pushed him away, and then had eight strong men drive all the Zhang family members out.

Soon, only she, her uncle and aunt, and her bewildered yet excited cousin remained in the private room.

Lin Mian found a chair and sat down. After the situation was under control, she realized that her hands were shaking. She didn't know if it was because the situation had been too tense and intense, or because of something else.

"Mianmian..." Auntie couldn't help but ask, "What did Zhiwen mean by all that?"

My cousin, however, asked curiously, "Sis, have you ever really shot someone?"

Lin Mian clenched her fingers, considering whether to continue hiding the truth or lie. Only in this way could they get along harmoniously with her uncle's family like before when He Duoye returned, and then chat about wedding matters in a normal way.

But suddenly she didn't want to bother making up lies anymore.

She slowly loosened her clenched fingers and nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes, I have fired a gun."

My cousin exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

The aunt and uncle's expressions changed. They exchanged a glance and asked the question that concerned them most: "So what exactly is Ono doing outside? Is he really a murderer?"
