Chapter 113: She had simply changed the method to humiliate her!

"You, you go too far!"

Lu Manman was furious and desperate; she truly wanted to tear the other woman's mouth apart!

It had been a long time since she had been provoked like this, and she was trembling all over with rage.

"Hey, don't you try to pull a scam on me!"

Who was Wang Mingkui?

She was the Political Commissar's wife!

Ever since she followed her man to the Sea Island, she had seen plenty of storms and monsters in all these years.

She didn't take someone like Lu Manman seriously at all.

"You—"

Lu Manman suddenly choked on her words. The other party wasn't afraid of the Public Security Bureau and was acting with impunity; her verbal threats had failed, and a head-on collision would only result in her own loss.

Suddenly, she changed her strategy, putting away her overbearing attitude, feigning fragility, and saying weakly:

"This older sister, my tone just now wasn't very good, please forgive me."

"I beg you, for the sake of the Buddha if not the monk, consider that I might be pregnant, and show some flexibility. Open a room for me; I need to rest."

"Otherwise, I've come all this way to the Sea Island to visit relatives, and a happy occasion will turn into a tragedy..."

The first part was showing weakness, while the latter part was a subtle threat.

If the matter blew up and two lives were lost, it would be good for neither of them.

It would be better for both to take a step back and find a way out.

"You're pregnant?"

Wang Mingkui asked suspiciously. Although she disliked the other woman, if she really were pregnant, the little life in her belly was innocent.

"Yes, one month along, it's not stable yet, I'm a bit exhausted and spotting."

Lu Manman wasn't lying about this; she had suddenly noticed the abnormality while using the restroom on the passenger ship.

Although she studied Western medicine, she knew a bit of basic Traditional Chinese Medicine theory.

Her symptoms were exactly those of early pregnancy!

If she had known she was pregnant earlier, she wouldn't have taken the risk to come to the Sea Island.

But it was too late to say anything now; she was already here, and she wouldn't give up until she reached her goal!

"Fine, for the sake of your pregnancy, I'll open a room for you."

"But with this introduction letter, you can only stay for three days at most. Once the three days are up, you must move out!"

Wang Mingkui's expression was sour; the grievances of adults shouldn't involve children.

Really, it was too good for this Lu Manman!

"Okay, thank you, older sister!"

Lu Manman showed gratitude, though only she knew the cursing going on in her heart.

Once she got the space, who would want to stay in this godforsaken place!

Wang Mingkui curled her lips; just because the other woman kept calling her "older sister" so unpleasantly, she would definitely arrange her in a room near the restroom!

Hmph, don't think an apology works now.

Bah, she wasn't stupid; she had eaten more salt than the other woman had walked roads!

She had already used this "honey-mouthed, sword-hearted" act when fighting with her mother-in-law in her youth!

Lu Manman paid the room fee and deposit, receiving a key to Room 214.

When she followed the room numbers all the way to the very end, the stench that hit her made her stomach churn—

"Ugh."

Her stomach, which hadn't eaten much, now felt nauseated, and she dry-heaved uncontrollably.

A restroom?

214 was at the end of the hallway, right next to the restroom!

Fine, she covered her nose, suddenly realizing she had been played!

That older woman at the counter downstairs hadn't let her off at all!

She had simply changed the method to humiliate her!

After thinking in place for a long time, she finally opened the door to Room 214 with the key in frustration...

"Click."

After closing the door, that smell of urine could still drift in from under the door crack!

Lu Manman was extremely frustrated; she put down her luggage and hurried to open the window for air.

"Ugh."

Directly downstairs was a small vegetable patch, and an elderly person carrying night soil was watering the roots; that pure, natural stench, fermented under the scorching sun, was even more suffocating...

Lu Manman quickly closed the window, dry-heaving until she was exhausted, and sat on the floor along the wall, looking indescribably disheveled.

"Wuwuwu."

Too bullying!

Everyone was bullying her!

She just wanted to live a superior life, what was wrong with that?

The only mistake was that she wasn't the real granddaughter of the Lu Family!

The mistake was that her father died early and didn't provide her and her mother with good living conditions!

The mistake was Shen Man; wouldn't it have been better to just stay obediently in the Capital?

Why did she have to change!

Why not be spoiled to death by her and her mother like in her previous life?

Thinking of her previous life, a twisted pleasure arose in Lu Manman's heart.

Everything now was wrong!

She had to set things right!

The jade pendant space was hers!

Shen Man only deserved to be her stepping stone!

Gu Tingchen loved her; as long as she obtained the jade pendant space and showed her value, Tingchen would definitely love her just like in her previous life!

Immersed in beautiful fantasies, Lu Manman quickly overcame the current predicament.

Downstairs, inside the counter, Wang Mingkui was still craning her neck, expecting Lu Manman to come down and argue with her.

She waited and waited, but for a long time, no one came down.

Tsk tsk, it seems this person can bend and stretch; she is a schemer who cannot be underestimated.

She is no good person; her coming to the Sea Island is definitely not as simple as visiting relatives!

It seems she needs to go find little Shen and remind her not to be soft-hearted, to be careful of this person...

In the corners of the Jiashuyuan, there were more or less people burning paper money.

But if you don't ask, I won't say; they tacitly avoided the places where paper was being burned.

The law doesn't punish the masses.

In such matters, if it isn't blown out of proportion, no one would be unhappy enough to go and tattle.

Following the old rule, Lu Lao Zu, having had his fill at his granddaughter's house, was escorted back to the cadre convalescent home by Lu Xiu Bai.

Pei Yan Ting was explaining the confusion and difficult cases encountered while her sister was reading the medical notes.

Jiang Ye, as usual, was watering the small vegetable patches in both courtyards.

You have to say, the small green vegetables in the patch had sprouted, and the patch of green breaking through the soil was quite pleasing to the eye.

No wonder the Supreme Emperor in his previous life was obsessed with farming all day long.

It turns out farming is quite interesting.

Jiang Ye laughed at himself; the portraits that had already blurred in his memory had been coming to mind frequently lately.

Along with some dusty, vague memories, they were also revealing themselves...

Perhaps it was because his married life was so harmonious that it had dispersed the painful memories of the past.

It actually allowed some lighthearted memories to emerge in his mind.

He didn't know if this was good or bad, so he simply stopped thinking about it and let nature take its course.

Pei Yan Ting quickly finished explaining the doubts her sister had while reading the notes, feeling more and more that her sister had a very good foundation; she understood everything after reading and hearing it once, truly a good material for studying medicine!

After supplementing the professional knowledge, it was time for personal worries:

"Manman, that Lu Manman is not a good thing. When you are home alone, absolutely do not give her a chance to climb all over you."

"If she has any schemes, stabilize her first, delay her, and wait for me to return..."

Shen Man hugged her sister-in-law's arm, shook it, and raised her right palm to promise:

"Mm, don't worry, sister-in-law, I have a plan in mind. I won't be deceived by her. She definitely has a scheme coming here this time. I'll pretend to let go of my grudges first, test out her intentions, and then deal with her accordingly..."

A fat sheep delivered to the door; it would be a disservice to herself not to slaughter it! ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
