Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 153 - 152: The Liu Family Has Fallen? My Man Did It!
It was late at night.
In the small building, only a dim lamp remained in the living room.
Wang Guihua finished sterilizing the baby bottles, walked out holding a water cup, her hands still trembling slightly.
"Teacher Lin, I was really scared to death today."
She looked at the two children sleeping soundly in the cradle, her face full of lingering fear.
"How can Liu Meiqin’s heart be so vicious."
"Such tiny children..."
Lin Wan Yi looked up from her book and smiled reassuringly at Wang Guihua.
"Aunt Wang, it’s all over."
"Just pay more attention in the future."
Her voice was calm, without a trace of fluctuation.
Wang Guihua looked at her, opened her mouth, but finally swallowed her words.
Teacher Lin’s composure was reassuring yet made her feel somewhat... frightened.
She turned off the light.
Wang Guihua returned to her room.
Lin Wan Yi stood by the cradle for a long time.
Moonlight streamed through the windows, casting onto the rosy cheeks of the two children.
Her hand gently brushed Gu An’s forehead and then touched Gu Ning’s little hand.
The calm and composure of the day cracked inch by inch at this moment.
The lingering fear, like cold seawater, flooded from her feet to her head in an instant.
So close.
Just that tiny bit closer.
Her children would have been ruined by that madwoman.
Relying on others, relying on Gu Yanshen, was ultimately passive.
She had to do something.
She must make them strong from the roots, immune to all poisons.
Lin Wan Yi straightened her body, the last bit of softness in her almond-shaped eyes covered by cold determination.
She turned around, quietly opened the back door, and walked into the small independent courtyard attached to the building.
The yard was not big, surrounded by waist-high brick walls, with the school’s woods outside, very secluded.
She carefully inspected around, ensuring no one was spying.
Then, she stood in the most inconspicuous corner of the yard.
With a thought.
The solid ground in front of her rippled like water.
A small patch of black, fertile soil appeared out of thin air, seamlessly merging with the surrounding yellow earth, leaving no trace.
The black soil from the Spiritual Spring Space.
She took out some seeds from the space.
They were deliberately saved during her last visit to the seed station.
Out-of-season tomatoes and chilies.
She squatted down, dug small pits in the black soil with her fingers, and carefully placed the seeds inside.
Then, she took out a small jade bottle.
Inside was the spiritual spring water she had prepared, diluted.
She evenly sprinkled the spring water onto the black soil where the seeds had just been planted.
A miracle occurred under the moonlight.
The black soil soaked by the spring water seemed to come to life.
The hard shell on the surface of the seeds visibly softened and cracked.
A touch of barely visible green budded out of the cracks.
Then, it started growing.
An inch.
Two inches.
Like a movie fast-forwarded.
Within minutes, a few tender green seedlings stood shakily in the soil, stretching their delicate leaves.
Lin Wan Yi observed the scene, her heartbeat slightly quickened.
She casually sprinkled the remaining bit of spiritual spring water at the roots of a few wilted rose bushes on the other side of the yard.
Once everything was done, she focused her thoughts again.
That patch of black soil disappeared instantly, leaving ordinary yellow earth, with only the few suddenly appeared seedlings remaining.
She went back inside, wrung out a towel soaked in spiritual spring water, and gently wiped the faces and hands of the two children.
The little darlings in sleep smacked their lips comfortably.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Oh my! My goodness!"
Wang Guihua’s shout was heard from the yard. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Lin Wan Yi was changing the children’s diapers and went out upon hearing the sound.
She saw Wang Guihua pointing at the corner of the yard wall where the roses were, her eyes wide like saucers.
"Teacher Lin! Look at this!"
"These flowers... how did they bloom all at once overnight!"
The roses, previously wilting, now bloomed exceptionally vibrantly, each larger than a fist, with petals covered in dewdrops, tender and glistening.
Lin Wan Yi merely glanced casually.
"Perhaps there was dew last night."
"These flowers have strong vitality."
She responded offhandedly, turning back inside.
Wang Guihua looked at the flowers and then at Lin Wan Yi’s calm back, scratching her head, feeling something was off.
In the days that followed.
Lin Wan Yi’s life returned to a peaceful routine.
Going to class, reading in the small room, going home to take care of the children.
Gu Yanshen and Gu Lan also seemed as if nothing had happened, one advancing studies at the National Defense University, the other attending classes at Beijing University of Science and Technology.
No one mentioned Liu Meiqin again.
As if she never existed.
Only Lin Wan Yi knew that every late night, she would go to the small courtyard.
Watching those seedlings shoot up, blossom, and bear fruit at an incredible speed.
The unripe fruits changed day by day.
Soon, they turned into a tempting red.
On this night, she picked the first fully ripened small tomato.
The tomato was only thumb-sized, red like a piece of agate, shining with a lustrous glow under the moonlight.
She put it into her mouth.
Bit gently.
The plump juice exploded in her mouth.
An indescribable sweetness instantly swept through her taste buds, accompanied by a faint, heart-refreshing fragrance.
Better than any fruit she had eaten in her past life.
She picked a few more.
Returned inside, mashed them carefully with a spoon, and fed them little by little to the freshly awakened Gu An and Gu Ning.
The two little ones tasted the flavor for the first time.
Their eyes instantly lit up.
Sucking their tiny mouths, after finishing a spoonful, eagerly opened their mouths, ready for the next.
A small bowl of tomato puree quickly reached the bottom.
The two little ones were still wanting more, looking eagerly at the empty bowl in her hand.
Lin Wan Yi smiled.
This was what she wanted.
Using the cleanest and most spiritually energetic things she grew herself to nurture her children into fair, plump, and healthy beings.
The next day, when Wang Guihua was feeding the children milk paste, she was surprised to find their appetites were much bigger than usual.
"It’s really strange."
"These two kiddos, today they’re like little tigers."
She looked at the children’s healthy rosy faces and couldn’t help but praise Lin Wan Yi.
"Teacher Lin definitely knows how to take care of children; they look so well-nourished."
Lin Wan Yi just smiled, not saying anything.
The storm seemed truly over.
Just when everyone thought the matter had passed.
That afternoon, Gu Lan suddenly didn’t go to class, bursting into Lin Wan Yi’s small building like a whirlwind.
She ran too hastily, her face covered in sweat, tightly clutching a newspaper.
"Sister-in-law!"
Gu Lan shouted as soon as she entered, unable to contain the shock in her voice.
"Something happened!"
Lin Wan Yi, who was reading, lifted her head.
Wang Guihua also poked her head out from the kitchen.
"Lanlan, why are you making a fuss?"
Gu Lan ignored her, dashed to Lin Wan Yi, and spread the crumpled newspaper in front of her.
Her finger pointed at an unassuming corner of the paper, her voice trembling.
"Sister-in-law, look!"
"Something really happened to the Liu Family!"
Lin Wan Yi followed her finger’s direction.
It was a brief report of a social news.
The headline was small.
"The city’s relevant department is investigating Liu Jian Country’s severe disciplinary issues."
The content was only a few lines, stating that Liu Jian Country, Deputy Section Chief of Peking University Logistics Department, was officially under investigation for "serious economic problems and personal misconduct."
Lin Wan Yi’s breath paused for a second.
She remembered that night a few days ago.
The look in the man’s eyes after hanging up the phone as he turned back to look at her.
Calm, deep.
Yet brimming with the ruthlessness to flatten everything.
He had said, and he had done it.
