Chapter 1072

As the only one standing still, Lin Yi, also the rising star of the performance, could only awkwardly strike up a conversation.

"These are trivial matters. If it were anyone else, we would have saved them too."

The woman seemed unaware of Lin Yi's awkwardness and continued, "I see. The brothers are truly too kind. We might have had some misunderstandings before. I was just scared by those things earlier, so my words were harsh. I hope the brothers won't mind."

The woman kept saying "brothers" with every sentence, making Lin Yi's skin crawl with goosebumps. How much green tea had she drunk to have such skill?

"You shouldn't thank us. You should thank Miss Gu. If it weren't for Miss Gu, we wouldn't have wanted to save you in the first place."

Facing Huo Jinglin, who had been reading, suddenly spoke up. Although he didn't look over, a hint of chill permeated his voice.

Seeing Facing Huo Jinglin speak, Lin Yi quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes. It was all because sister Yanqi is kind-hearted and wanted to save you. The person you should thank isn't us."

Lin Yi spoke with a smile, but his words placed all the credit squarely on Gu Yanqi.

But it was true; if Gu Yanqi hadn't felt pity, the few of them really wouldn't have prepared to save anyone.

Being spoken to repeatedly like this, the woman could only turn around and look at Gu Yanqi, saying, "I see. So it was sister's doing. Thank you, sister."

Such a thank-you sounded insincere. Although she was smiling, her voice still revealed complete perfunctoriness.

Since this woman didn't respect Gu Yanqi, Lin Yi had to make a scene.

"By the way, how old are you this year?"

"I am twenty-four this year."

Lin Yi put on a surprised expression, then immediately switched to one of realization: "I see. Then you shouldn't call us brother or sister. I am only twenty-two this year. By the way, sister Yanqi is only twenty-one!"

Hearing this, the woman looked at Gu Yanqi, her face showing panic: "Ah? So sister, ah no, sister is three years younger than me. Looking at sister like this, I just, just thought sister must be a few years older than me, so I called her sister. I'm really sorry."

Listen, listen, listen. These tea-laden words were clearly implying that Gu Yanqi looked old on her face. For a girl, age is a huge issue.

However, the most critical point was that Gu Yanqi really looked young. Anyone saying she looked old basically had poor eyesight.

So, this woman was clearly targeting Gu Yanqi.

At this moment, Gu Yanqi began to regret it. She felt she had made a wrong decision; this was simply a troublemaker!

Gu Yanqi wouldn't talk back, but Lin Yi was different. How could he let his own little sister-in-law suffer? Lin Yi could already feel the warning message in Brother Ning's gaze on him.

Lin Yi suddenly leaned close to the woman, looking at her carefully. The woman's face instantly turned red. Just as she thought Lin Yi had taken a liking to her, Lin Yi moved away from her.

"I think you should look in the mirror more often when you have nothing to do."

One sentence left the woman full of question marks: "Ah? What's wrong?"

Lin Yi looked at the woman with an expression that was hard to describe and said, "Actually, I asked your age because I felt your age should be older than ours. Look at your skin condition; it's really not good. I thought you were thirty at the time. Look at sister Yanqi; you can't even see a single pore on her skin. I advise you to take better care of your skin usually."

This statement, paired with Lin Yi's expression, was a massive critical hit. The smile on the woman's face instantly froze.

Seeing the woman's complexion wasn't good, Lin Yi quickly covered his mouth and widened his eyes, acting as if he had said the wrong thing, but there were hints of delight in his eyes.

He, Lin Yi, was a Level Ten Yin-Yang Master.

Facing Huo Jinglin, who had been watching the show for a while, put down his book, came to Lin Yi's side, and said, "Sorry. Lin Yi is just a big straight male. He speaks directly from the heart and says whatever he thinks. Don't mind him."

The meaning in his words was that everything Lin Yi said was unvarnished truth; your age just looks that old.

The woman felt so angry she could barely breathe smoothly, but on the surface, she still had to put on a smile of understanding.

"Ah, it's nothing, nothing. What's the big deal? Maybe my skin condition is a bit worse because I've been on the run recently."

Speaking to this point, the few of them had nothing left to chat about. The woman looked at Gu Yanqi and asked, "Um, sister, I want to ask, what is your name? Is it Yanqi?"

"Ah, yes. Just call me Yanqi. No need to call me sister or anything like that."

The woman nodded, then looked at Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin.

As the diplomat, Lin Yi, having already made the other party choke, had to give her some benefit too.

"My name is Lin Yi. This is Facing Huo Jinglin. The one in the driver's seat over there is Ning Chen. On the other side is Xiao Han. Those two are not easy to deal with. Don't go looking for them when you have nothing to do."

The woman nodded and said, "Mm, mm. I know. My name is Bing Xin. Everyone can call me Mu Xin Xin."

Bing Xin showed a big smile, trying to win over the people in front of her with her smile.

But Lin Yi seemed not to see it at all, pulling Facing Huo Jinglin to start discussing what to eat tonight.

Gu Yanqi took Bing Xin and sat on the sofa.

A short while later, Lin Yi, who had gone to the warehouse, came back calling for Gu Yanqi, asking her to come choose ingredients too so they could start cooking.

"Come quickly, come quickly, ingredients from afar~"
