Chapter 373 He Lingfei Gets a Counterattack

Wen Zijin paused for a moment, refraining from turning around.

Where should we move it next? Since it's already been found here, it'll probably be easier to find it elsewhere.

Seeing Wen Luozhi approach Wen Zijin and the two of them talking with their heads close together in public, He Lingfei was so angry that her teeth itched.

But she didn't want to disturb them; she wanted to follow them and see where they were going and what they were doing.

"Fifth Brother, these are sachets that Mother made for us, and she specifically asked me to bring them to you."

Wen Luozhi suddenly remembered what Xie Heqian had repeatedly told her before she left home. She was afraid she would forget, so she hung the sachet on herself when she got off the carriage.

She took it off her waist and handed it to Wen Zijin, who smiled and took it, hanging it on her own waist and stroking it a few times with care.

This was quite a shock to He Lingfei. She had only been gone for a few days, and someone had already hooked up with Wen Zijin!

Moreover, Wen Zijin seems to be quite interested in her too, look at how he's smiling!

She's not bad-looking either, is Wen Zijin blind? And that vixen really infuriates her!

Unable to hold back any longer, she rushed forward and grabbed Wen Luozhi, yelling, "You vixen! You have no shame!"

She was cursing and raising her hand to slap her hard when Wen Luozhi reacted quickly, grabbing her hand and slapping her across the face.

"Where did this mad dog come from? Why is it biting people in the street?"

Wen Luozhi rubbed her slightly numb hands, while Wen Zijin beside her asked with concern, "Luo Luo, are you alright?"

His gentle eyes almost melted into a puddle of water, and his slightly furrowed brows annoyed He Lingfei.

"Wen Zijin, do you have any conscience? I got hit by this vixen!"

Her finger trembled as she pointed at Wen Luozhi, and people on the street, hearing her roar, gathered around curiously.

"Oh dear, have they been caught having an affair?" An older woman crowded around to watch the commotion. Another woman looked at Wen Zijin and Wen Luozhi and said, "Wait a minute, these two young people look somewhat alike."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Zijin was already standing in front of He Lingfei, her face extremely cold. Her next words were like knives stabbing into He Lingfei:

"My sister and I went out for a walk. What business is it of yours, an outsider? You came up to us and started a fight, it's so vulgar and tasteless."

"You're shameless for pestering me like this!"

The two sentences immediately caused an uproar among the crowd, who, seeing the slap mark on He Lingfei's face, said that she had only herself to blame.

"Hey girl, if someone doesn't like you, don't keep pestering them!"

"Who are you putting on this show for?!"

Uncle Zhao saw the three of them from afar when he came out to buy something. He rushed up and pretended not to know Wen Zijin to speak up for him.

People around He Lingfei pointed and whispered, saying that she was shameless.

"Brother, let's go."

"Don't waste your breath on someone who's irrelevant to you."

When Wen Luozhi first met He Lingfei, her impression of her was already extremely poor.

Just by looking at his face, she felt that this person was not someone to be trifled with. Not to mention Wen Zijin, the person being harassed, she found him annoying, but even she, as an outsider, found him irritating.

The brother and sister turned and walked away without even glancing at the annoying He Lingfei on the ground. The crowd dispersed, and He Lingfei, lying on the ground, stared blankly at her swollen face.

How dare that woman hit her?!

Why didn't she jump up and fight back?!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She scrambled to her feet and chased after the brother and sister in the direction they had gone, but after looking around, there was no sign of them.

Wen Luozhi was standing on the upper floor of a small restaurant, watching. When she saw He Lingfei grabbing two young men and women, she went up to see if they were them and shook her head.

Has she gone mad? Did that slap cause brain damage?

"No need to look anymore, sit down and eat."

Wen Zijin served her rice and invited her to sit down.

Wen Luozhi only went back to eat after He Lingfei finally left the street.

She casually asked a few questions, and when He Lingfei was mentioned, Wen Zijin's expression of disgust did not diminish.

Thinking of Yan Che, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, Wen Luozhi took his favorite foods to his place.

Upon hearing that the brother and sister had arrived, he dropped the book in his hand and rushed out. When he saw Wen Luozhi, he almost burst into tears on the spot.

"Waaaaah, you're finally here! I was afraid I'd go out of business if you hadn't come!"

Yan Feng had already gone back. The restaurant found a manager to help look after it. He came here as soon as he finished school and he looked exhausted.

He only hoped that he could pass the preliminary examination, so that he could wholeheartedly do what he wanted to do.

Wen Luozhi noticed that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and naturally felt sorry for her adopted brother.

"I'll be quite free during this period, and I'll be spending most of my time in the prefectural city."

"You can focus on your studies first, I'll take care of the restaurant," she said with a smile.

On the way there, Wen Zijin told her that the restaurant was doing well and Yan Che was going there frequently, afraid that something might go wrong when he wasn't there.

Sometimes he would even study and do his homework at the restaurant, managing the restaurant while studying.

Hearing her say that, Yan Che jumped up happily, and while eating the snacks she brought from home, he talked about He Lingfei.

"We met her on our way here; she was following behind us."

Wen Luozhi sighed, having thought about it all the way but still couldn't come up with a suitable place.

He can't keep hiding from a woman forever, can he? Her brother didn't do anything wrong.

Yan Che never expected He Lingfei to be so perverted. To prevent Wen Zijin and her master from discovering their new residence, he didn't dare to go to Wen Zijin's place.

Is it true love or...?

He shook his head and said to Wen Zijin, "Brother Zijin, why don't you stay here for a while? With servants watching over things, that annoying fellow probably won't go too far."

Wen Luozhi thought it was feasible; they couldn't find a suitable place to stay in the short term, so it would be good to settle down here first.

At worst, she'll hire two people to follow Wen Zijin around; she doesn't believe He Lingfei will dare to cling to her again.

Wasn't all that persistent pestering just because they knew Wen Zijin was a scholar?

Hmph, whatever monsters or demons come, they'd better stay far away from Wen Zijin and not even think about affecting her fifth brother's studies!

After the matter was settled, Wen Luozhi asked Wen Zijin to go back and bring over the things she needed, and also asked Yan Che to come along.

She was afraid that He Lingfei might come up with some shameless methods, and she would only feel at ease with Yan Che by her side.

Wu Yazi was so engrossed in watching the play that he was unaware that He Lingfei was watching him from behind.

When Wen Luozhi came to find Wu Yazi, the old man was about to go up and put on a headdress for someone.

She grabbed the enthusiastic old man and said with a smile, "You, master, left your disciple at home and came out to play by yourself?"

Wu Yazi turned around and, seeing it was her, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Oh! It really is you! What brings you here?!"

Wen Luozhi gestured towards the stage, then quickly went up to give the prize money to the opera singer before rushing off.

Wen Luozhi supported him and whispered, "Let's move to Yan Che's place today; we won't stay there anymore."

Wu Yazi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what had happened.

He glanced quickly behind him and caught sight of a pale yellow hem of clothing, which made him snort angrily.

"It's so annoying! If that girl were a man, she would have achieved great success long ago if she put that kind of tireless effort into her studies."

Wen Luozhi chuckled, glanced quickly behind her, and pulled Wu Yazi into a shop.
