Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 131 - 130: Cutting in Line at the Cafeteria? (2)

The jealousy and resentment in her eyes were almost overflowing.

Enduring the dual humiliation during the opening ceremony and the first professional class, she had become a laughingstock in the dormitory these past few days. Now, seeing Lin Wan Yi quietly standing in line, the evil fire in her heart surged to the top of her head.

Why? Why could this capitalist’s daughter live in a small building, be viewed favorably by professors, and gain everyone’s respect?

A thought flashed through her mind.

She intentionally stopped beside Lin Wan Yi, pretending to talk to Li Li, but her body suddenly swayed, as if she lost her footing, and her elbow, carrying the force of her whole body, fiercely rammed into Lin Wan Yi.

"Ouch!"

Lin Wan Yi was lowering her head, tidying Gu Ning’s little hat, completely unprepared for someone to make a direct move in broad daylight.

A surge of great force hit her, causing her to stagger backward uncontrollably.

At that instant, her mind went blank, and the only thought was to protect the child. Instinctively, she hugged Gu Ning tightly, curling her body to use her back and shoulders to bear the imminent impact and fall.

"Sister-in-law!"

A cry of alarm exploded behind her. At an unknown time, Gu Lan, who had followed along, like an enraged little leopard, swiftly supported her shaky body from behind.

Lin Wan Yi regained her balance, with her back painfully supported by Gu Lan, but she disregarded this. The violent jolt and tense atmosphere startled Gu Ning, who let out a loud cry.

Lin Wan Yi’s heart felt like it was being squeezed painfully by a cold, large hand, mixed with both pain and anger.

She slowly raised her head, looking at Liu Meiqin who wore a provocative expression. Her eyes, always slightly smiling and clear like water, now bore no warmth, only frozen frost.

Liu Meiqin felt inexplicably uneasy under her gaze, but unwilling to concede, she raised her voice in a sharp scream, "What are you looking at! Who told you to block the way with a child? What a jinx!"

Li Li also fanned the flames from the side, "Exactly! The cafeteria is a place for everyone to eat. Bringing a whining baby here, so noisy, how can anyone eat?"

The surrounding students frowned, their looks at Liu Meiqin filled with disapproval. This was too excessive.

Lin Wan Yi gently patted Gu Ning’s back, soothing the frightened child. Her voice wasn’t loud yet strikingly clear, like cold winter water, each word laced with chill, instantly overshadowing the cafeteria’s din.

"I can make way."

She paused, her gaze like two sharp surgical knives, slicing inch by inch across Liu Meiqin’s face.

"But don’t touch my child."

Liu Meiqin wanted to make a scene, but two men in blue uniforms suddenly strode in from the entrance of the cafeteria. They looked like the school’s security staff, yet their posture was as straight as a pine, their gaze sharp as an eagle’s, carrying a disciplined and fierce aura only cultivated in the military.

Ignoring everyone, they walked directly through the crowd that automatically parted, standing in front of Liu Meiqin.

One of the square-faced men spoke expressionlessly, his voice steady and powerful, "Student, your behavior just now has been suspected of intentionally harming a military family member and her child. We’ve received a report and need your cooperation for an investigation."

Liu Meiqin was utterly dumbfounded, stammering in rebuttal, "What military family? Who are you? I... I just accidentally bumped into her..."

The other man wasted no words with her, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, directly pointing to two male students who witnessed the entire incident. "You, and you, you’ve seen what happened. Please come with us and make a statement as proof."

The two male students immediately nodded, "Sure! We’re willing to testify!"

Then, the man turned to the pale Liu Meiqin and Li Li, his tone cold and undeniable.

"You two, come with us to the security office now."

With that, the two men, like eagles grabbing chickens, directly "invited" the still screaming "My dad is Vice Director Liu" Liu Meiqin and the weak-kneed Li Li out of the cafeteria.

The whole process was clean and swift, taking less than a minute.

The cafeteria instantly fell silent, even the sound of breathing was distinctly audible.

Everyone was stunned. When had they ever seen the school’s security staff act so decisively? Moreover, it was clear these two men were not ordinary security guards.

At the dining table in the corner, Chen Zhiyuan held his lunchbox and slowly put down his chopsticks. He had taken in everything, without showing the same shock as others, but only pushed his glasses on his nose, the gaze behind the lenses growing darker and more profound.

He understood.

To deal with Lin Wan Yi, relying on Liu Meiqin’s mindless provocations was utterly self-defeating. She possessed an invisible, yet indestructible, protective shell. This shell came from the military district, from a higher place. To move her, he would have to find a crack in this shell, a single fatal strike.

After the disturbance, Lin Wan Yi, holding Gu Ning who had gradually stopped crying, walked back toward the line. The students in front of her, as if receiving some unified instruction, automatically stepped aside, clearing an open path to the window for her.

She accepted it without refusal, softly thanking everyone, and walked to the serving window.

Behind the window, a plain-looking woman in her forties, full of sympathy and admiration, skillfully served Lin Wan Yi with food, each spoonful generous, rice compactly pressed.

Just as Lin Wan Yi was about to turn around with her lunchbox.

The woman suddenly glanced around, then picked up a large spoon, quickly scooped out a large portion from a pot of freshly cooked, fragrant braised pork, and swiftly deposited it, with meat and sauce, onto her rice. The movement was so fast it was like executing some secret task.

Lin Wan Yi was momentarily stunned.

The woman quickly pressed the meat down with the spoon, covered it with rice, then lowered her voice, her face bearing simple respect and a trace of heartfelt pity, and whispered in her ear:

"It’s not easy being a military wife. This is a little kindness from me."
