Chapter 176: What a Green Tea
She had tearfully begged him to bring her here saying that her best friend was alone and she was worried about her. But as it turned out, she had come straight to knock at a man's door and hadn't even bothered to check her friend's house first.
He had always thought she was pure and innocent but it looked like that was just a mask she wore to fool others. The man didn't say anything despite his thoughts.
He still needed her because she seemed to know some places they could find good supplies. However, he decided that once she was no longer useful, he would have his fun with her.
How dare she treat him like a fool?
Bai Yinyin seemed to realize that she had lost her composure and schooled her expression. Wearing the gentle mask again.
Unfortunately, this time she couldn't fool anyone. Everyone had already seen her true colors.
"Why is it impossible? My son had been in love with Panpan for years and she finally accepted his feelings. Why couldn't they get married?" Li Yunjia asked sarcastically.
She really wanted to bash this woman pretending to be innocent in front of them. But her good upbringing prevented her from acting without decorum. So, she could only use her words.
"Panpan had said that she wouldn't get together with him." Bai Yinyin tried to justify her earlier loss of composure.
"Well, people mature at some point and understand what they want. Panpan also came to realize what she wanted and agreed to be with Lu Zhen.
They are a happily married couple now. And their relationship is very strong. No one can separate them." Li Yunjia could finally say those words out loud to this woman.
She had made her son suffer so much, she had to make her insides burn with fury but be unable to vent.
Uncle Li and auntie Li stood aside and watched their little sister and sister-in-law fight like a hen protecting its chicks and smiled.
She acted serious all the time, especially after Lu Zhen's father died. It was the first time they had seen her put on armor and go to war that wasn't related to business.
The man who brought Bai Yinyin there was also stunned by how feisty she was. But that was all. He could tell from their conversation that even though she looked young, she was definitely not that young since she had a married son.
"Then why didn't Leng Pan tell me about it? We are best friends." Bai Yinyin said as if accusing Leng Pan of keeping her in the dark.
"She became smarter and stopped sharing things that would cause others to sabotage her." Lu Tao practically called Bai Yinyin a traitor of a friend who would sabotage Leng Pan's marriage.
Bai Yinyin still didn't want to believe that what they said was true and asked, "Then where is Panpan?"
"Oh, my sister-in-law went on a date with my brother. They haven't had much time to go on dates because of the apocalypse, so they go whenever there is an opportunity." Lu Tao made it sound like this wasn't Lu Zhen and Leng Pan's first date.
He was trying everything to infuriate Bai Yinyin to death. Who told her to be so vile?
"Then, can I come in and wait for Panpan to come back? I need to talk to her in private." Bai Yinyin could only come up with this excuse to get them to let her into the house.
Once Leng Pan came with Lu Zhen, she would find a way to manipulate her into leaving him. She didn't believe that she couldn't control someone she had manipulated so well for years.
Too bad she didn't know that the current Leng Pan wasn't the one she used to manipulate. She was a different soul and would not take her crap.
"No, you may not come in. We are not familiar with each other and have nothing to do with each other. Why would we let you into our house?" Li Yunjia refused flatly.
Who would let that snake into their house? What would happen if she lays eggs inside and leaves little vile snakes behind?
Bai Yinyin had not expected Lu Zhen's mother to be so difficult to deal with. She cursed whatever reason had caused her to come to the capital and not stay where she was so that she could die in the first wave of zombies like in the last life.
She couldn't force her way in and didn't know what to do. For the first time in a long time, she felt the humiliation she had felt before she befriended Leng Pan and got her to buy her some luxury goods and clothes.
People used to laugh at her because of her poverty. Unfortunately, instead of working hard to leave that life behind, she had decided to use others and ruin their lives to make herself feel better.
A vile choice that no one would support.
The two groups of people stood there in a deadlock until they heard the elevator ding! And two people holding hands came out of it.
It was Lu Zhen and Leng Pan who had finally come back after indulging themselves.
Everyone turned to look at them and even for someone who didn't know them personally like the man who came with Bai Yinyin, knew that they had been enjoying each other.
The afterglow was too obvious. Moreover, from their body language and the way their eyes looked at each other, one could tell that this was a couple who were madly in love with each other.
Li Yunjia and the other elders noticed that there was a change in the way the two youngsters interacted.
It was as if a barrier that had been standing invisibly between them had finally broken down and now they let themselves have the raw version of each other.
This was the kind of a relationship that couldn't be broken even with a herculean effort.
They didn't have to worry about the couple anymore.
