157. Chapter 157: Women Fighting Women

Shen Huai felt as if he had been struck by lightning; Lin Yeman's words were like a bomb detonating in his mind, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

The familiar face in his mind now appeared so strange, even tinged with a hint of eeriness.

"Are you saying... that the few times I saw her before, they might not have been real people?"

Shen Huai's voice was as dry as a withered branch parched by the sun in the desert.

Watching Shen Huai's distraught appearance, Lin Yeman couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Don't worry, the Robots Dad developed haven't reached such a miraculous level yet. Currently, they can only provide a level of companion service, executing some simple commands and responses."

"To put it plainly, they are just high-end toys and do not possess the ability to make independent decisions."

Only then did Shen Huai breathe a slight sigh of relief.

But Lin Yeman's next words made his heart race once again.

"However,"

Lin Yeman deliberately drew out her tone, her charming eyes roaming over Shen Huai as if a hunter were admiring prey that had fallen into a trap, "thanks to me pretending to be Big Sister this time, I was able to hear you admit with your own mouth that you like me."

"Young Master Shen, you can't go back on your word now~"

Shen Huai was left red-faced and embarrassed by Lin Yeman's sudden teasing.

Damn it, he had actually let her trick him into saying it.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But in the end, he found himself speechless.

Just then, the ballroom doors were pushed open again, and a tall girl wearing an exaggerated clown mask walked in.

She looked around, her gaze finally locking onto Liu Shishi, and then she stomped toward her in her high heels, looking aggressive.

"Hey, you, get up and let me dance!" Xiaochounü's voice was sharp and piercing, carrying an unquestionable command.

Liu Shishi was already fuming because her dance partner had been snatched away by a girl who had suddenly appeared.

Now, some Xiaochounü had popped up from nowhere and told her to get lost without a second word.

Even a rabbit will bite when pushed to the limit!

She had clearly already put on a mask.

Why was it that everyone kept picking on her alone?

"Why should I?" Liu Shishi's willow-leaf brows stood on end as she retorted unceremoniously, "I was here first; if anyone is getting lost, it's you!"

Xiaochounü acted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world; she put her hands on her hips exaggeratedly and laughed until she was swaying back and forth: "Just because of you? Why don't you go take a piss and look at your own reflection—are you even worthy of competing with me for a man?"

Liu Shishi was so angry her face turned pale.

Although she was used to being submissive, everyone had dignity.

Just like a spring pressed to the bottom, it would eventually bounce back.

"Who are you calling a homewrecker? Keep your mouth clean!" Liu Shishi gritted her teeth.

"Yo, you dare to challenge me? Let me tell you, I am..."

Xiaochounü paused here, as if thinking of something, and then revealed a sinister smile, "I am someone you can't afford to offend!"

As she spoke, she actually shoved Liu Shishi aside, trying to force her way to the side of "Superman."

Liu Shishi was completely caught off guard.

Pushed like that, she stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

"Are you crazy!"

Liu Shishi screamed.

The anger in her heart was completely ignited. She no longer cared about her image and reached out to grab Xiaochounü's hair.

The sound of the two arguing soon drew the attention of those around them.

Many people on the dance floor stopped dancing and looked over curiously.

The noisy music seemed to fade, replaced by whispers and pointing fingers.

This sudden farce made Liu Shishi feel extremely embarrassed.

Already sensitive by nature, the comments of those around her pierced deeply into her self-esteem, making her feel as if she could barely breathe.

Seeing that the situation was spiraling out of control.

A flash of cunning light passed through Lin Yeman's eyes, and she gave a subtle signal to "Shen Huai" beside Liu Shishi.

Receiving the order, "Superman" immediately displayed astonishing strength, unceremoniously grabbing the two troublemakers by the waist and hauling them into a nearby private room.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!" Xiaochounü struggled while screaming and cursing. However, under the Robot's iron-pincer-like arms, her resistance appeared pale and powerless.

Although Liu Shishi was also startled by this sudden turn of events, she was already blinded by anger and humiliation and had no mind to ponder the oddity of it all. She only focused on tidying her messy hair and clothes, not forgetting to throw out harsh words: "Stinking woman, you just wait, I won't let you off!"

Lin Yeman held Shen Huai's arm, following behind with a smile, as if none of this had anything to do with her.

The door to the private room was slammed shut, cutting off the curious gazes from outside.

Xiaochounü and Liu Shishi were thrown onto the sofa, glaring at each other in a rage.

"You crazy woman, do you know who I am? How dare you lay hands on me!"

Xiaochounü looked at her hairstyle, which had been messed up by Liu Shishi, with heartache while pointing at her nose and cursing in a fit of rage, "Look at your own condition—are you even worthy of competing with me for a man? Aren't you afraid of making people laugh their teeth off!"

Liu Shishi was trembling with anger.

From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever suffered such grievances? She covered her face, stubbornly refusing to shed tears in front of Shen Huai.

Yet the more she wanted to be strong, the more her tears gushed out like a broken dam, falling like pearls off a string, and she was so choked up she couldn't say a word.

"Crying already? Who are you putting on a show for!"

Xiaochounü paused deliberately, glancing sideways at Liu Shishi with eyes full of contempt and mockery, "I haven't even asked you to pay for my clothes yet!"

Seeing Liu Shishi bullied to this extent, a surge of anger rose in Shen Huai's heart.

After all, it was he who had dragged Liu Shishi into this, and her suffering here naturally had its roots in him.

At this moment, besides the android dancing with Liu Shishi, there were only four people in the room.

Shen Huai clenched his fists, wanting to step forward to argue and vent this pent-up anger for Liu Shishi, but he was grabbed and stopped by Lin Yeman.

"A man hitting a woman is not a glorious thing." Lin Yeman looked at Shen Huai with a beaming smile, her tone gentle yet carrying a trace of unquestionable firmness.

Just as Shen Huai wanted to open his mouth to retort, Lin Yeman changed the subject and turned around to land a fierce slap directly on Xiaochounü!

"Slap—"

The crisp sound of the slap seemed exceptionally loud in the quiet private room.

"But it doesn't matter if a woman hits a woman."

Lin Yeman withdrew her hand nonchalantly, rubbing her wrist, a playful smile curling at the corners of her mouth, yet her eyes were filled with icy coldness.

"Clatter—"

Struck by Lin Yeman like this, the clown mask was knocked flying, landing several meters away.

Beneath the mask was none other than Li Xinran's face, swollen from the slap! (End of chapter)
