Chapter 52: 049: Cool and awesome Miss Lin_1
If she were Lin Wu, she’d have just jumped into a pond and drowned herself.
The voices of several people continued, with the content becoming increasingly unbearable to hear.
A slight smirk played at the corners of Sun Shanshan’s mouth.
What good was Lin Wu’s beauty compared to hers?
After the college entrance exams, she would be a student at a prestigious 985 university.
And Lin Wu?
She was nothing but a filthy sewer.
The two of them.
One was a pearl that attracted all eyes.
The other was a rotten shrimp and fish in the sewer.
There was simply no comparison at all.
With this thought, the frustration that had been bottled up in Sun Shanshan’s heart finally dissipated, and she turned to head towards the door.
She couldn’t afford to interrupt the people’s discussion.

At seven in the evening, Lin Guixiang got off work from the store and saw a street vendor selling wormwood sugar, a specialty from her hometown. Overcome with homesickness, she impulsively bought three portions and took one out when she got home, asking Lin Wu to bring it over to Lin Guimei.
Her sister had been married in Qing City for so many years, she must also miss her hometown.
Lin Wu took the wormwood sugar and had just stepped out when Lin Bingqiang, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen. “When you come back, Xiao Wu, remember to bring a bottle of soy sauce from the supermarket.”
“Alright, Uncle.” Lin Wu nodded slightly.
The Sun Family lived on the eighth floor.
Lin Wu didn’t take the elevator but walked directly to the eighth floor and knocked on the door.
It wasn’t long before the door opened.
It was Sun Dingbang who opened the door.
Lin Wu politely said, “Uncle.”
“It’s Xiao Wu, eh,” Sun Dingbang looked somewhat surprised, “come in, take a seat.”
This niece from his wife’s side seldom visited their home since she arrived in Qing City.
This was the first time.
Lin Wu handed the wormwood sugar to Sun Dingbang, “Uncle, my mom bought this on the street; it’s a special treat from our hometown. She said Aunt likes it.”
Receiving the wormwood sugar, Sun Dingbang thanked her repeatedly, then looked into the house, “Shan Shan! Come out, your cousin is here.”
Hearing this, Sun Shanshan walked out with her cellphone in hand, “Dad.”
Then she turned to Lin Wu, her eyes reflecting a complex emotion, “Cousin.”
Laughing, Sun Dingbang said, “Shan Shan, take your cousin to your room for a while, have a good chat, and let her play those games you young people like. Haven’t you always said it’s lonely being an only child at home?”
“Okay.” For once, Sun Shanshan didn’t talk back to Sun Dingbang but nodded obediently, lifting her cellphone, “Cousin, have you played Ghost Path? The new brain-burning game that’s really fun, do you want to try it?”
Garnering acclaim as the strongest dark horse game of the year, Ghost Path took the world by storm, and nearly every one of Sun Shanshan’s classmates was playing it. However, the game was so challenging that hardly anyone in her class could get past the tenth level out of eighty-one.
Even Sun Shanshan had only cleared the eighth level.
As for Lin Wu, this girl from the small village, she probably couldn’t even get past the first level, could she?
With this in mind, Sun Shanshan’s eyes brimmed with derisive amusement.
Ghost Path?
What’s so fun about her own game?
It was no challenge at all.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu raised an eyebrow slightly, “I don’t play anymore, I’ve got things to do.”
No sooner had she spoken than Lin Wu turned and said goodbye to Sun Dingbang and then left.
Watching Lin Wu’s retreating figure, a small smile curled Sun Shanshan’s lips; she knew Lin Wu definitely wouldn’t dare to play.

Coming out of the Sun’s place, Lin Wu went downstairs to buy soy sauce.
After buying the soy sauce, she saw Feng Qiaoqiao and several neighbors chatting at the entrance of the first-floor corridor. Lin Wu, holding the soy sauce, greeted them politely, “Good evening Grandma Ma, Aunt Wang, Aunt Liu, Aunt Feng, Aunt Xiao Li, and Aunt Xiao Zhou.”
They all smiled and nodded back at her.

However, just as she had taken a few steps upstairs, Lin Wu’s ears caught some discordant voices.
“Did you just see that? The outfit Lin Wu is wearing costs over three hundred yuan. They’ve only been in Qing City for a few days, and they’re already buying shops and new clothes. Who would believethe money comes from a legitimate source if you told them?”
Feng Qiaoqiao was becoming more and more jealous.
And angrier by the second!
Why should such a bargain fall into the hands of a mother and daughter from the countryside?
Every time she saw Lin Wu, dressed so smartly, walking past her, it was like a thorn in her heart.
She was a bona fide city dweller.
Why should her lime-light be stolen by a pair of country bumpkins?
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu’s expression remained unchanged as she quickened her pace to the third floor and brought the soy sauce back home.
About two minutes later.
Her voice resounded once more in the corridor.
At that moment, Feng Qiaoqiao was still going on and on, “Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu must be in the flesh trade, the older one is indecent, so is the younger!”
Influenced by Feng Qiaoqiao, the other four also looked at Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu through tinted glasses, nodding in agreement.
“Would Aunt Feng care to explain what you mean by a business that can’t see the light of day!”
The very next second, Lin Wu appeared in front of the group, her gaze locked with Feng Qiaoqiao’s, a faint smile playing on her lips, while she held a kitchen knife that glinted coldly in her hand.
It sent a chill down the spine.
In fact, Feng Qiaoqiao had heard Lin Wu approaching, she had intentionally said it loud enough for Lin Wu to hear.
She had thought Lin Wu would be too guilty to make a peep.
She hadn’t expected Lin Wu to confront her with a knife in hand!
At that moment, Lin Wu’s presence was overpowering, although she was smiling, her aura was ice cold, causing even the adult Feng Qiaoqiao to feel fear, her speech stumbling, “You, your mother’s affairs aren’t only being discussed by us… You can’t just target us, right?”
She emphasized the word “us.”
Alone, she was no match for Lin Wu with a knife.
But what if Lin Wu alienated the other four as well?
Was Lin Wu going to slash all four of them too?
That tactic might work on others.
But who was standing in front of Feng Qiaoqiao?
Lin Wu naturally wasn’t swayed by such talk.
She half-closed her eyes and looked down at Feng Qiaoqiao, her tone sharp and clear.
“Listen well, Feng Qiaoqiao! I’m only targeting you! If it weren’t for your constant foul mouthing and deliberate lies, would the other elders in our courtyard be misled by you?”
She, her mother, and her uncle’s family had to continue living in that small courtyard, so by making it clear that she was only targeting Feng Qiaoqiao and suggesting the others were misled by her, she was not only doing them a favor but also hoping to leave a good impression as someone reasonable and amiable.
It wouldn’t be wise to offend everyone outright.
Having said this, Lin Wu threw the kitchen knife in the direction of Feng Qiaoqiao.
Thump!
The knife stuck upright in the pillar behind Feng Qiaoqiao.
In that instant, Feng Qiaoqiao thought the knife would strike her neck, and she was shaking all over with fear.
“I and my mother have a clean conscience, we fear no shadows! If I hear someone gossiping behind our backs again, I will fight them to the death! After all, being alone and unsupported, what do I have to lose? A life for a life!”
Lin Wu’s voice was not too loud, not too soft, but it was enough to reach everyone’s ears.
And it made an impact.
The crowd was terrified into silence.
How could a mere girl in her teens exude such authority?
Even Grandma Ma, the eldest of the lot, felt intimidated by Lin Wu.
Especially Feng Qiaoqiao.
She was accustomed to talking too much, and driven by jealousy of Lin Guixiang’s sudden good fortune, she thought country folk were easy to bully. Hence, she intended to ruin the mother and daughter’s reputation through public opinion.
Little did she know, she had kicked an iron plate.
