"Knock, knock, knock—" The sound of knocking rang out.
"Enter!" An exceptionally stern and furious voice from the old lady echoed.
Lin Xiangwan paused for a moment before finally unlocking the door.
A shadowy figure instantly rushed towards her, raising a hand to strike her.
Prepared for this, Lin Xiangwan swiftly shoved the individual away, evading to one side.
"Ah—" Xu Feng'e let out a cry of pain.
As Lin Xiangwan had dodged, she had also landed a strong punch on Feng'e's stomach.
It was a reflexive defense. However, her strength was quite formidable and Feng'e really hurt from the punch.
As Lin Xiangwan, now distanced from the harm, finally saw who was trying to hit her, she stalled for breath against the wall and readied herself for confrontation.
Looking at her grandmother, she felt a sourness in her heart. Although her time spent with the old woman was short, she had been sincere, treating her as family. But to be hurt time and time again seriously disheartened her.
