Hearing Lin Yu's words, Xia Yiwei immediately chimed in, "Hubby, I don't blame you."
"I used to feel like this was my home, but the last two times I came back..."
"I really feel like the house has a new master, and I've become a guest."
"Aunt Wang isn't wrong either, you can't blame her."
Hearing her say "Aunt Wang" in every sentence made Xia Xiashan really want to laugh.
Lin Yu sure had some nerve.
Being a guest in their home, yet daring to provoke the young stepmother of the house.
Of course.
It wasn't that he was being impolite.
It was purely because he had such a good relationship with Weiwei that he was willing to stand up for her.
You have to understand.
These days, there aren't many people willing to repeatedly offend strangers for the sake of a friend.
There was a reason why Lin Yu was so popular.
On the other hand, the expression on Wang Ran's face was extremely intriguing.
After all, she was someone who made a living in this sort of environment.
What kind of weird young people hadn't she seen?
Back in the day, in the eyes of others, Wang Ran was also a difficult young person to deal with.
It was only because she had restrained herself a lot over the past two years that she was able to gain a firm foothold in this wealthy family.
But Wang Ran really couldn't figure out Lin Yu's approach.
Call him vulgar...
Yet he could accurately seize opportunities to launch attacks against her.
Call him meticulous...
Yet his method of direct attack wasn't really all that clever.
This was the first time Wang Ran had encountered a younger guy like Lin Yu.
Rather than anger.
She felt more curiosity towards him in her heart.
It had been a long time since she felt this impatient urge to get to know someone!
Today, Wang Ran actually hoped that Old Xia would come back a little later.
So she could chat with these young people alone.
Following that.
Wang Ran sat at the table and waved to the housekeeper, Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang immediately understood and poured tea into everyone's cups.
Facing a younger guy spouting such nonsense, Wang Ran also switched into an undisguised mode.
She asked Lin Yu curiously:
"I heard from Old Xia yesterday that your name is... Lin Yu!"
"I shouldn't be remembering it wrong, right?"
"Speaking so recklessly, aren't you afraid of offending me?"
Wang Ran's rhetorical question was slightly beyond Lin Yu's expectations.
After all, she was in the position of the "young aunt."
He had thought Wang Ran would be more composed and use a tactful way to engage in a verbal spar.
Unexpectedly.
He only provoked her a couple of times, and she had already shown her true colors.
But that was fine too.
At least Lin Yu wouldn't need to jump around like a troublemaker, constantly provoking her.
A back-and-forth conversation made the chat much more interesting.
Not to mention.
Lin Yu wasn't fighting alone!
"Offended?"
"Is it really that easy to offend someone?"
"Young Master Lei, do you think what I just said counts as offending Aunt Wang?"
Lin Yu suddenly changed the subject, directly pulling Lei Siren into the fray.
Lei Siren's breath hitched. "!!!"
This damn son of a bitch Lin Yu!
If you want to fight with her, do it yourself!
This had absolutely nothing to do with Lei Siren, yet he just had to drag the topic over to him, didn't he?
He had just been screwed over by Lin Yu's few words.
And now he had to make a stance so quickly?
If Lei Siren said anything slightly biased towards one side, he would quickly offend the other.
The chance to sit back and watch the tigers fight was completely gone!
Not only was it gone.
Right now, he had to consider which side was more worth offending.
Lei Siren glanced at Wang Ran...
She looked like a python demon ready to bare her fangs at any moment!
Then he looked at Lin Yu...
Okay, okay, okay.
There was no need to consider it any further.
At least the python demon wouldn't beat him up as soon as they stepped out the door!
Lei Siren adjusted his glasses and made a decision that went against his ancestors.
He put on a smile and said:
"I know Auntie Ranran's temper; it's always been very good."
"Brother Lin Yu is an upright person, and his speaking... style!"
"His style is a bit different from ours, I'm sure Auntie Ranran can understand."
"It doesn't count as offending, right, Auntie Ranran?"
Lei Siren called out with exceptional affection, but what greeted him was Wang Ran's disdainful gaze.
Besides disdain, she was mostly shocked inside.
Lei Siren frequently interacted with Old Xia and occasionally came in and out of the house.
His feelings for Xia Yiwei could be described as an open secret known to everyone.
Logically speaking.
Even if he and Lin Yu weren't sworn enemies, at the very least, they shouldn't be able to stand the sight of each other.
How could he be speaking up for Lin Yu?
What kind of background and origins did Lin Yu actually have?
To have Lei Siren so completely submissive?
Wang Ran could rack her brains and still never guess.
What subdued Lei Siren wasn't his origins, but his fists!
"It seems like whatever I say doesn't matter then!"
"You are the guests, so of course everything you say is right."
"Lin Yu, how long have you and Weiwei been dating?"
"This is the first time I've seen Weiwei address a man so... affectionately!"
The air-quoted affectionately was undoubtedly said on purpose for the two of them to hear.
Xia Yiwei maintained her smile, leaning against Lin Yu's shoulder, making a gesture of whispering.
Except her so-called whisper was spoken exceptionally loud:
"If you don't want to answer, you absolutely don't have to."
"Today my dad invited you over for dinner, it has nothing to do with irrelevant people."
"You are under no obligation to answer questions you don't want to."
On this point, even if Xia Yiwei didn't remind him.
Lin Yu knew what to do.
If Wang Ran wasn't genuinely curious, she wouldn't have specifically asked.
She wasn't worried at all that her question wouldn't be answered.
Facing Xia Yiwei's bluntly offensive words, she appeared extremely calm.
Lin Yu put on a look of reminiscence and said slowly:
"If we're talking about the exact time we've been together..."
"It's probably been almost two years?"
"Aunt Wang, you certainly don't care much about Weiwei."
"Otherwise, how could you not know that she already had a boyfriend?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
