Chapter 138: A Scheming Woman
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying looked at Xiao Jin in shock. “You divorced her?”
Xiao Jin looked at Lin Zhuyu’s expression as she complained to Su Ying and felt very displeased. “Mm-hmm. I divorced her.”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. “You knew everything?”
Xiao Jin didn’t ask, but he knew what she was talking about. “I knew.”
“Oh.” Su Ying turned back to Lin Zhuyu. “He divorced you, but he did not ask you to leave.”
Lin Zhuyu stopped crying. “Doesn’t Master… Master despise me for freeloading…”
“Are you a freeloader?”
Lin Zhuyu fiddled with her fingers. “Not completely, I guess.”
“Then why are you leaving? Put down your bundle quickly and eat.”
Lin Zhuyu’s expression instantly changed from a crying look to a look of joyous surprise. “Master is not driving me away?”
Su Ying looked at Xiao Jin. She wanted him to speak.
However, Xiao Jin pretended not to see anything and continued eating.
Su Ying could only reply to her. “No. He is only breaking off his relations.h.i.+p with you.”
“That’s great. I’ll go wash my hands and eat now.” Lin Zhuyu wiped her tears and put her bundle away with a smile.
Xiao Jin looked at her back profile as she left joyfully. He suddenly felt that this scheming woman, Lin Zhuyu, had deliberately put on this act in front of Su Ying. She had no intention of leaving at all. She had only done this to gain Su Ying’s sympathy!
Hah! What a scheming woman!
When Su Ying came back from was.h.i.+ng up, she saw Xiao Jin sitting on the bed, looking depressed.
Su Ying thought that he was probably upset about the incident with Lin Zhuyu.
“I already said that a melon that is forcefully harvested is not sweet. Since you are able to think it through and divorce her, then don’t think too much about it anymore.”
Xiao Jin’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He raised his eyes to look at Su Ying and saw her expression. She seemed to be comforting him.
He couldn’t believe that Su Ying thought that he would be upset because of Lin Zhuyu. He wondered what was going through this woman’s head all day.
However, the words that came out of his mouth had a different meaning. “I’m a cripple. It’s normal for her to despise me.”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. “What are you saying? Don’t you believe in my medical skills?”
“Su Ying, will you despise me?”
“Why would I despise you?”
Xiao Jin raised his eyes calmly and smiled. “Can you pour me a cup of water?”
Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin was acting weirder and weirder. One second, he was dejected, but the next second, he was smiling. She got up and poured him a cup of water. “Here, drink it.”
Xiao Jin didn’t reach out to take it but took a sip from her outstretched hand. “It’s a little hot.”
“Hot?” Su Ying took a sip, puzzled. “How is it hot? It’s not hot at all.”
Xiao Jin’s eyes darkened slightly as he looked at her lips, which had been moistened by warm water.
“Mother, Father, Ling is here!” Ling, who had just taken a bath, suddenly rushed in from outside and pounced on Su Ying.
Su Ying wasn’t sitting firmly and fell forward from the impact, her face cras.h.i.+ng into Xiao Jin.
She only felt a slight chill at the corner of her mouth, and in the blink of an eye, her gaze met Xiao Jin’s eyes, which were right in front of her.
Su Ying’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately pushed Xiao Jin away.
“Kiss, kiss, Mother. I want a kiss-kiss too.” Ling’s big round eyes scanned the two of them and she pouted her little mouth, trying to kiss Su Ying.
Su Ying hurriedly carried her to the bed.
“Be good. Time for bed.”
“But I want a kiss-kiss from Mother, a kiss-kiss like Father kissing Mother. Yah!”
Xiao Jin only felt the soft sensation lingering on his lips, and Su Ying’s unique scent seemed to be wafting around the tip of his nose.
Su Ying hurriedly kissed Ling on the cheek and carried the older toddler Ji who had just entered to Xiao Jin’s bed. Then, she blew out the lights at lightning speed.
Su Ying lay on the bed with her eyes closed. She kept telling herself that it was just an unintentional physical touch. It was just like hand touching hand, and lips touching lips was no different.
However, for some reason, her heart was racing again. It seemed that she really had to find time to go into the interspatial store tomorrow to do a heart rate test.
The sky had just turned bright when an uninvited guest arrived outside the Tiger Base.
“Leader, Leader, the Azure Dragon Base has sent someone over. They want to see you.”
Tiger Might woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and sat up on the bed.
“What are the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds of the Azure Dragon Base doing here?” He only found out that Su Ying had gone to the Azure Dragon Base all alone to save people after the incident.
“They said that the leader of the Azure Dragon Base wants to negotiate with our Tiger Base.”
Tiger Might’s brows knitted even more tightly. “If they want to talk, then we will talk with our fists. Tell him to get lost.”
“But Leader, the messenger said that if we are willing to negotiate, they can provide us with a channel to purchase grain.”
Tiger Might’s face clouded over. Not being able to buy grain was indeed what he was worried about at the moment. He didn’t want to talk to them, but he needed grain.
“Bring that guy in.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Tiger Might stood up and sat down on a chair. After a while, the messenger sent by the Azure Dragon Base came in.
When that guy saw Tiger Might, he saluted politely. Tiger Might gave a scornful sneer in return.
“Don’t put on an act for me. You deserters from the Azure Dragon Base don’t know what rules are.”
That guy wasn’t angry. Instead, he said with a smile, “I’m sorry to have embarra.s.sed myself, Leader Qiao. Our leader said that since we’re going to be allies in the future, we should be polite to you. I’m here today because I know that you can’t buy any grain recently, and my leader wanted to help you after learning about your predicament.”
“Enough. I don’t want to hear any more nonsense. If Wu Feng wants Su Ying, there’s no way in h.e.l.l he can get her.”
“Leader Qiao, don’t be angry. Our leader doesn’t want anyone. We just want to join hands with you to fight those people.”
Tiger Might frowned when he heard that. “Wu Feng really thinks that everyone is a fool. We have learned our lesson the last time.”
Many years ago, Tiger Might had been taken for a ride by the Azure Dragon Base not long after he arrived. They said that they would bring people to join forces with him to fight against those who came to collect grain. In the end, when he made his move, not only did Wu Feng not cooperate, but he even helped those people. Although Tiger Might survived after the incident, every time he recalled this matter, he wished he could tear the people from the Azure Dragon Base into a thousand pieces!
“Leader Qiao, don’t be in such a hurry to turn us down. To show our sincerity, Leader will first release 200 sacks of grain on the slope between the two camps. The Tiger Base can take any of them. We will release the grain once every three days. If the people in the Tiger Base don’t want them, we will carry them away three days later. There is no point in saying more. We will show our sincerity with our actions. I will not bother you any further. Goodbye, Leader Qiao.”
Tiger Might didn’t stop him but allowed his own men to follow him.
He wanted to see what kind of tricks Wu Feng was up to.
However, the people who went to scout for information quickly came back to report that the people of Azure Dragon Base had indeed placed sacks of grain on the slope.
“Leader, should we go and get the grain?”
Tiger Might frowned. “Are you sure those are really grain?”
“I’m sure. Our brothers have checked it. It’s indeed grain.”
Tiger Might knew that this matter was likely to be a scam, but when bags of grain were lying around freely in front of him, it would be a waste not to take them.. “Send someone to get them!”
