NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Are You Kidding Me?
"Who are they?" Zhou Yi frowned. "Do you know them?"
"Wait, could they be the ones who made you act strange just now?"
Lin Wanru nodded slightly.
Then she thought that if she were caught by them, she would surely be humiliated.
After that, she would be disgraced and become a shame to the Lin family.
If that happened, she would rather die.
After learning Lin Wanru's thoughts, Zhou Yi was startled.
"Damn! My dear young lady, don't think like that!"
"As long as you are alive, there is hope. Don't be so desperate."
"Right, you just don't want to be found by them, right? It's easy. Watch me!"
Lin Wanru was wondering what this old man could do.
Zhou Yi asked her to quickly hide in the inner room so that she wouldn't be seen by the people outside.
After Lin Wanru hid, Zhou Yi opened the door.
Outside stood several thugs with fierce - looking faces, who didn't look like nice people.
Seeing Zhou Yi open the door, the leader, Brother Ma, shouted, "Hey, old man, have you seen a woman come here?"
Zhou Yi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I have."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Wanru, who was hiding in the inner room, was stunned.
What's going on? You old man!
Didn't you promise to protect me?
Why did you betray me as soon as you opened your mouth?
The thugs were immediately excited, "Haha, we found her so easily!"
"Tell us quickly, where is that woman?"
Zhou Yi calmly asked, "What do you want with her?"
Brother Ma was stunned for a moment and then started to make up a story, "Oh, she is my wife."
"I caught her cheating outside, and I chased her here. Old man, please be kind and tell me where she is."
Zhou Yi frowned and said suspiciously, "She is your wife? How is that possible?"
"Your ages don't seem to match, do they?"
Brother Ma became unhappy, "What do you mean they don't match? Do I look old?"
A thug beside him also chimed in, "That's right. Brother Ma is not even 40 years old, in the prime of his life."
"What's wrong with having a younger wife?"
"Right. Do you look down on Brother Ma?"
Zhou Yi slapped his thigh and shouted, "Are you talking nonsense?"
"She is almost 90 years old, and you still say she is young? You're lying through your teeth!"
Brother Ma was stunned, "9... 90 years old?!"
"No, who are you talking about?"
Zhou Yi said innocently, "Huh? Aren't you talking about old Mrs. Liu from the south market of the city?"
"Mrs. Liu... old Mrs. Liu?!" The thugs were also confused.
Zhou Yi nodded, "Yes. Old Mrs. Liu just walked past my door. Aren't you talking about her?"
"Alas, I was planning to propose to her this year."
"Unexpectedly, she likes you pretty - boy types!"
The thugs turned to look at Brother Ma.
Brother Ma had a fierce - looking face with a scar on it.
This guy? A pretty boy?
This old man is really good at making up stories!
Hearing this, Lin Wanru in the room felt relieved.
It turned out that the old man didn't want to betray her but was just pretending to be crazy and stupid to deceive them.
"Anyway, he is quite good at making up lies..."
Listening to Zhou Yi's nonsense, Lin Wanru's mood became better.
However, Brother Ma was very angry.
Damn it!
This old man is making fun of me!
What old Mrs. Liu?
Damn it! It's like I'm Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden!
"Old man, don't talk nonsense to me. I'm asking about a young woman!"
"Did you see her or not?"
