"Xu Manzhi, did you leak the news?" Jiang Mingda saw that Xu Manzhi and Yan Lin were getting along very well, and he was afraid that Zhou Xiangqun would bring his leaders over and see her being intimate with another man, which would lead to misunderstandings.
He went up and immediately launched into a tirade of accusations.
Gu Meiyun wiped away her tears.
My eyes were red and swollen from crying, my tears had dried, and my heart ached so much I couldn't breathe.
At this moment, upon seeing Xu Manzhi, who was idle and doing nothing...
New and old grudges surged into my heart.
She stomped her feet, howling and screaming, "What sins have I committed to give birth to such a wicked child? She's here to bring misfortune to the Jiang family, a jinx, a thousand cuts, even a thousand cuts wouldn't be enough!"
From the moment Xu Manzhi returned to the Jiang family—
Big and small things never stopped happening.
She and Mingda were exhausted and heartbroken.
Jiang Hejun's face was grim.
He was always gentle and refined, the most cultured of the three Jiang family sons, and he also enjoyed indulging in refined pursuits. His emotions were consistently stable.
But at this moment, he was also afraid.
He had a bad feeling.
I have a feeling things aren't that simple...
"Xu Manzhi, if it is found that you are involved in this matter, I, Jiang Hejun, will personally kill you even if I am executed!" he said in a low voice.
Even at the police station, in front of a group of police officers, he couldn't suppress his hatred for Xu Manzhi.
"What you're doing is nothing but murder and threats. Every time we meet, you're all over the place, never saying a kind word. All you do is threaten her. If she weren't so powerful, who knows what would have happened?"
Even though he's a man, he still feels bad when his family humiliates him.
Moreover, the branches are full.
Yan Lin stepped forward, shielding Xu Manzhi behind him, preventing the Jiang family from spouting nonsense any further.
Speaking with spittle flying everywhere.
They don't act like elders at all.
He was recently procuring betrothal gifts for his wedding, but seeing the Jiang family's attitude, he was really annoyed.
“She deserves it—” Gu Meiyun shouted.
Xu Manzhi rolled her eyes.
She really couldn't be bothered to argue with these people and waste her breath.
"I'll just say two things: First, I didn't publicize Jiang She's affairs. Second, Jiang She's case has nothing to do with me. If it rains, are you going to blame me? Why don't you all just fly to the moon?"
Xu Manzhi turned and left.
She was tormenting Lao Chai until midnight last night and hadn't slept a wink.
Go find a place to sleep.
“Let’s go. I have a single room in Haicheng. If you don’t have anywhere to stay, you can move in first,” Yan Lin said.
Jiang She killed someone.
The Jiang family's house was the scene of the crime, and the entire area was cordoned off.
It's uninhabitable for at least three to five days.
When he returned from his mission last night, he found Xu Manzhi waiting by the wall outside the military area. She said she had argued with her family and they had kicked her out...
The Jiang family is inhuman.
A bunch of bastards.
"That's great."
Xu Manzhi was very satisfied with Yan Lin's thoughtfulness.
It's truly remarkable that a grown man like him could think of something like this.
Yan Lin took out a key and handed it to her.
The scar on his cheek was tinged with red, and he said in a muffled voice, "This is the room I stay in when I'm on missions. There's not much stuff in it, and the mattress smells a bit sweaty..."
The smell of sweat.
What does it matter?
She was used to the post-apocalyptic environment, which was a hundred million times worse than this.
Xu Manzhi laughed and said, "It's alright, I want to take a long nap, and no one can disturb me."
Combat is quite physically demanding.
She needs to conserve her energy.
"good."
Led by Yan Lin, Xu Manzhi arrived at a five-story building in the city. She went straight up to the third floor, and upon opening the door, a faint musty smell wafted out.
The house is not big, about 30 square meters.
But even though it's small, it has all the essential organs.
A bedroom just big enough for a bed, a small kitchen, a living room with a retractable table, and even more shockingly, a tiny separate bathroom.
That felt amazing!
Previously, when I took a bath at the Jiang family's house, I always used a bathtub, afraid that the water would spill onto the floor. Although being able to take a bath is a huge improvement compared to the post-apocalyptic world, the floor is covered with small acrylic patches, so I can take a very refreshing bath.
She opened the window and lay down on the small bed in the bedroom to rest.
As soon as his head hit the pillow, before he could even savor Yan Lin's unique scent, he fell asleep instantly.
I slept soundly for ages.
I didn't have a single dream.
When I opened my eyes again, I heard the sound of running water coming from the kitchen.
Then, a rich aroma of oil filled the air.
The aroma of fat.
Xu Manzhi sprang out of bed with a swift movement and rushed to the kitchen. The image in her mind gradually overlapped with the man's back in the kitchen.
...Strict and stern.
He was wearing a white vest, revealing his strong arms and muscular back. His buzz cut was sharp and imposing. He was standing close to the kitchen stove, holding a pot in one hand and a spatula in his right, stirring something one after another.
The belt around his waist was fastened tightly.
Beneath the trousers were a pair of long, slender legs.
The golden ratio.
She couldn't help but smack her lips and swallow hard.
"You're up?"
At this moment, Yan Lin suddenly turned around. The scars on his dark cheeks were shocking, and there was a trace of blood-red bruise on the tip of his delicate nose. But his eyes were deep and bright.
"Ah, yes, yes, what brings you here?" Xu Manzhi chuckled.
He probably didn't see the...greed in her eyes.
Yan Lin curled his lips into a smile.
He put down the spatula and said, "You've slept for a whole day and night without eating a single grain of rice. Before this mission, I quickly bought some groceries and cooked you a meal."
Early in the morning, he went to the store to buy groceries.
