Shi Lin never thought that she would dare to talk back. His face darkened by two degrees, "Lin Mian, you are getting cheeky, huh?"
Lin Mian gathered courage and continued, "I'm speaking the truth, and Teacher Qin is so friendly to you, yet you've been badmouthing him behind his back, causing discord. Doctor Shi, forgive me for being blunt, but it's actually you that I need to stay away from."
Shi Lin clenched the steering wheel, the veins on his forearm popping.
Oh, great! Very well!
She had become so articulate, like a docile rabbit suddenly biting, without any warning!
Seems like she had been pretending to be soft and meek in bed!
"Doctor Shi, please unlock the door," Lin Mian threw the words down stiffly.
Shi Lin turned his head to stare at her, in the dimly lit car, his gaze was dark and sharp, as if trying to see through her inside and out.
Lin Mian straightened her spine, fearless as she maintained eye contact with him.
After evading for two days, she was already tired of running away.
"Lin Mian, you've got guts."
Shi Lin suddenly smirked, bluntly uttering a few words.
With a click, the car lock was opened by him, before Lin Mian could consider his words deeply, she turned the doorknob and jumped out of the car.
Seemingly afraid of being chased by him, her figure quickly disappeared within the community.
Sitting in the car, Shi Lin lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, feeling even more irritated, he flicked the cigarette butt out.
Recalling the woman's rapid-fire words just now, he closed his eyes, muttered a curse under his breath.
Grass.
So dignified, I really want to pin her down and play her to death.
Looks like I was too gentle last time.
Lin Mian almost ran all the way back home. She leaned against the door, patting her chest and taking a long breath.
The words she blurted out just now were spoken in a moment of hot-headedness. Now thinking back, they were indeed too harsh. That man should be furious.
But who cares?
Anyway, he already has a new lover, let's just tear our faces apart completely. In the future, just avoid him as much as possible when we meet.
Lin Mian rushed into the bathroom for a shower, changed into her pajamas, and finally lay on the bed after a tiring day to turn on her phone.
As soon as the phone powered on, numerous messages popped up.
There were also a long string of voice messages bombarding on WeChat.
All of them were from the same person - Lin's mother.
Lin Mian randomly opened a few messages, filled with filthy language, curses, and insults. Unable to take it anymore, she resorted to the most shameless threat.
"You little slut, don't think you can escape by turning off your phone. If you don't transfer the money to me by tomorrow, I will personally bring a knife to your school and commit suicide, letting the blood splash on the spot. You forced me to do this!"
"Even in death, I will ruin you, let the whole internet know what kind of unfilial prostitute you are!"
"If I die, your father will not have it easy either!"
She became more and more extremist in her words, approaching a state close to madness.
Lin Mian knew she was capable of doing such things.
Years ago, when Lin's mother asked her for the first sum of money, she threatened her with a knife held against her father's neck. In the end, blood flowed, her father's neck was cut open, and Lin's mother also had a gash on her neck. The fresh blood gushed out, soaking the floor and clothes completely. They almost lost their lives that time, and she almost ended up with the reputation of pushing her parents to death. Lin Mian had been living in this shadow for years, unable to escape each time, admitting defeat time and time again, generation after generation. She closed her eyes, opened WeChat, transferred the remaining money, and typed a message, "This is all I have. I have nothing left even if you force me, figure out the rest yourself." A few minutes later, the other party received the payment and finally stopped. Lin Mian opened Qin Li's WeChat, sent a message saying she had arrived home. The other party must have been busy, as there was no reply for a long time. She turned off her phone, buried her head in the blanket, and was overwhelmed by immense exhaustion, as if all the blood in her body had been drained. Every time she was asked for money before, she would hide in her blanket and cry silently.
"Bang!" A loud slamming sound suddenly came from outside, making a huge commotion. Lin Mian was startled by the noise, feeling too exhausted even to cry.
