Chapter 56 Are you envious?
Lin Yi had just calmed down a bit, but when he saw Shu Maomao, he became impatient again: "Why do you take your child with you wherever you go?"
Shu Lan explained: "My husband died early, and our child has basically never been separated from me since he was born. He would cry and make a fuss if he couldn't see me, so he has always been with me."
Shu Maomao looked up at Shu Lan. Her eyes were clear again and the swelling had subsided. She felt confident and justified when she lied that he was a crybaby.
Lin Yi leaned back, legs apart, looking superior. "You should have heard about my super large space. I'll take you in to see it later. Don't follow this kid."
Shu Lan asked in confusion, "Brother Lin, I can't understand. Your men snatched away all the little food I had left, and Bai Wenrui even ordered them not to give me even a bowl of vegetable soup. Now you've called me over to show me your space. Are you planning to rip me off, or are you trying to get closer?"
Lin Yi was confused: "Is this true?"
"Yeah, there are over a hundred of us, including me and my son, and we've only had water since noon. I'm so hungry and angry that I didn't want to come here, but I just want to ask, is there still a place for me here?"
Having just greeted her in the morning, Lin Yi heard the same thing happen again in the evening. He immediately became furious and walked past her and yelled, "Where the hell is Bai Wenrui? Come here!"
Shu Lan saw that Su Zhen's shirt was torn and half of her shoulder was exposed. While Lin Yi was out looking for someone, she quickly pulled the blanket off the bed and threw it on Su Zhen's head.
The sudden warmth and darkness made Su Zhen tremble. She wanted to push it away, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
At least this blanket could hide her little bit of dignity and prevent people coming in later from seeing how miserable she was.
"You don't have to be so kind," she whispered.
Shu Lan said, "I don't mean any harm. Your skin is too white, it's a bit dazzling."
Su Zhen was silent for a moment, her nose sore: "You see, he is arrogant, violent, and philandering. He is not a good person. You should find another way out. Don't sell yourself to him like I did."
Shu Lan said, "You're already in such a miserable state, so stop caring about me."
Lin Yi walked in with Bai Wenrui, and Shu Lan immediately separated from Su Zhen, pretending that nothing had happened.
Lin Yi didn't notice her little trick. As soon as he came in, he scolded his eunuch: "What do you want to do? I asked you what you want to do. You are so capable, right? I don't listen to a word I say. Do you want me to target Qin Xiaoshuang? You are pretending to obey but secretly disobeying, and you are just bullying others. I will just let you be the commander!"
Shu Lan stood behind Lin Yi, rolling her eyes and making faces at the eunuch who dared not speak out. After Lin Yi turned around, she regained her considerate demeanor and said, "Brother Lin, calm down. It's not that serious. I don't ask for much. Just treat us as your own people and give me some food."
Lin Yi pressed Bai Wenrui's head and said, "Listen, you're a grown man, but your heart isn't even half as broad as hers. Apologize to Qin Xiaoshuang."
Bai Wenrui was unconvinced, his eyes blazing with fire: "Brother Lin, her people were having a private meal together, and I confiscated her things. What did I do wrong?"
Shu Lan said ashamedly, "It's my fault. I thought Brother Lin looked down on my bags of food."
Lin Yi slapped Bai Wenrui on the back of the head: "Is it you who need food or drinks? You're staring at others and snatching their food. Why don't you apologize to them?"
Bai Wenrui was also yelled at by him: "Lin Yi, we have been friends for so many years. Who lent you money when you had no money to eat? Who took you in when you had no place to live? Now you want me to apologize to a woman I have only known for two days for such a small matter?
"Brother Lin, it's okay if we just talk it over. You two brothers, please don't fight over me."
Unable to bear it any longer, Bai Wenrui turned around and yelled at Shu Lan, "Shut up! Stop adding fuel to the fire! Brother, you don't know how smug this woman looked behind you just now. Her understanding and considerate behavior in front of you was all an act. Don't trust her."
Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Bring Huo Yu here to me. Bai Wenrui, I'm telling you one last time. I'm no longer the same Lin Yi I used to be. If you mention that insignificant favor you did me in the past again, I'll probably beat you to death on the spot."
His eyes were cold and his teeth were gnashed. It didn't sound like he was speaking in anger, but rather he was sincerely threatening Bai Wenrui.
Bai Wenrui was stunned and frightened. He closed his mouth and dared not say anything.
Shu Lan secretly laughed in her heart: Idiot, asking for favors from rich people is equivalent to slapping him in the face in front of others. Lin Yi was very loyal enough to hold back his anger and vent it on Huo Yu.
It’s just a pity that the guy named Huo Yu has to suffer another unexpected disaster.
Lin Yi glared at Bai Wenrui, then calmed down and asked, "Forget it, Qin Xiaoshuang, how much was stolen from you? I'll give you double."
Shu Lan said in surprise, "Thank you, Brother Lin. Just give me 100 kilograms of rice."
"OK."
Lin Yi called out in his mind: System, throw me 200 kilograms of rice.
He was waiting for a mechanical voice to reply: OK.
But no, after about twenty seconds, my mind was as quiet as before.
Lin Yi's heart suddenly sank. He imagined what the space looked like, and on a sudden thought, he imagined himself going to another place.
But the dark green tent cloth, the timid Bai Wenrui, the expectant "Qin Xiaoshuang", and the expressionless little boy, all these have never disappeared.
It was as if someone had hit Lin Yi on the head with a club. His head was buzzing, and he was confused and panicked.
What went wrong? Why couldn't he enter the space? The system didn't respond either?
Lin Yi's heart was beating wildly in panic. He tried it more than ten times in disbelief, and even closed his eyes to concentrate more.
But when he opened his eyes again, he saw the same scene. He did not come into that beautiful dream-like world that belonged only to him.
Lin Yi broke out in a cold sweat because of his panic. He said anxiously, "Qin Xiaoshuang, go back first. I'll have someone bring it to you later."
Shu Lan raised the corner of her mouth and agreed obediently and sensibly: "Okay."
"Bai Wenrui, get out of here too."
After the two left, Lin Yi slapped himself twice without hesitation. The burning pain clearly exposed his self-deception.
Maybe it's a nightmare, no, it must be a nightmare!
Otherwise, why would the space disappear without any warning?
Lin Yi walked to the bed with unsteady steps, his whole body limp with panic, and he kept repeating to himself that it was okay, he would be back, calm down, calm down.
He must have been too angry tonight and his emotions were fluctuating so much that he couldn't sense the existence of his supernatural powers for a while. He would be fine if he calmed down for a while.
Shu Lan and Bai Wenrui walked out one after the other. Bai Wenrui mocked her harshly, "It's so easy for you women to curry favor."
Shu Lan raised the corner of her mouth and said with a fake smile: "Are you envious? Then you can go for sex reassignment surgery."
