"They?" Chu Yi frowned, "You know them?"
"Wait a minute, could they be the culprits who caused your inappropriate behavior just now?"
Lin Wanru nodded slightly.
Then she thought, if she were caught by them, she would inevitably be humiliated.
After that, she would be utterly disgraced, becoming a disgrace to the Lin family.
In that case, she might as well just die!
Upon learning Lin Wanru's thoughts, Chu Yi was startled.
"My God! My dear young lady, you wouldn't do that, would you?"
"As long as you're alive, there's hope. Don't spend all day looking for death."
"That's right, you just don't want them to find you, right? That's easy to handle, watch me!"
Lin Wanru was a little annoyed.
What could this grumpy old man possibly do?
Zhou Yi told her to quickly hide in the inner room, so that no one outside could see her.
After Lin Wanru had hidden herself well, Zhou Yi finally opened the door.
Standing outside were several thugs with fierce faces, looking very intimidating.
Seeing Zhou Yi open the door, the leader, Brother Ma, said, "Hey, old man, have you ever seen a woman come to your place?"
Zhou Yi heard this and immediately nodded.
"That's right, I have!"
This statement instantly stunned Lin Wanru, who was hiding inside the house.
No way, you grumpy old man!
Didn't I say I'd see you?
How could you betray me the moment you opened your mouth?
The thugs immediately became excited: "Haha, we found her so quickly!"
"Tell me, where is that woman?"
Chu Yi then spoke up: "What do you want with her?"
Brother Ma was stunned, and immediately fabricated a lie: "Ah, that's my wife."
"I caught her stealing a man outside and chased her all the way here. I hope you can have mercy and tell me where she is."
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows: "That's your wife? That's impossible!"
"You two don't look very compatible in terms of age, do you?"
Brother Ma immediately became unhappy: "How am I not compatible? Do I look like an old man?"
Another thug chimed in: "That's right, I, Brother Ma, am not even 40 years old, I'm still young, healthy, and strong."
"How about marrying a young woman who's considered too old?"
"That's right, you're underestimating me, Brother Ma, aren't you?"
Chu Yi slapped his thigh: "You guys aren't talking nonsense!"
"She's almost 90 years old this year, and you still say she's young? That's ridiculous!"
Brother Ma was stunned: "9...90 years old?!"
"No, who are you talking about?"
Chu Yi pretended to be dreaming: "Ah? Aren't you talking about Old Lady Liu from the food market in the South City?"
"Liu...Old Lady Liu?!" The thugs were also dumbfounded.
Chu Yi nodded: "That's right, it was Old Lady Liu who just came from our mouths. Weren't you talking about her?"
"Ah, I was originally thinking of proposing to her this year."
"I didn't expect her to be taking care of you, you pretty boy!"
The thugs turned to look at Brother Ma.
Brother Ma's face was full of ferocity, and he had a scar on his face.
Just this? A pretty boy?
This old man really knows how to make up lies!
In the room, Lin Wanru heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
Apparently, this old man wasn't trying to sell himself, but was feigning ignorance to deceive everyone.
"Leaving aside other things, he's also very good at making up lies..."
Hearing Zhou Yi's nonsense, Lin Wanru's mood wasn't so bad anymore.
However, Brother Ma was furious.
Damn it!
This old man is making fun of me!
What about Mrs. Liu?
"Damn it, even Grandma Liu is a high-ranking official!"
"Old man, don't talk nonsense to me, I'm asking about a young woman!"
"Did you see her or not?!"
