Chapter 24: So That's It
“You and Auntie won't say anything, so no one will know.”
Li Yuwei forced a laugh. “I'm not the kind of person who gossips.”
Ying Sisi smiled, mocking Li Yuwei's shamelessness.
How could she not have such thick skin?
………
At the entrance of the bathhouse, people came and went.
The indoor air was filled with steam.
After handing in her ticket, Ying Sisi found an empty locker, took off her clothes, and placed them inside.
Li Yuwei observed from the side.
Her waist was slender, and her legs were long and straight.
Her entire body was snow-white; not a single scar or mark was visible.
Li Yuwei's gaze shifted downward.
When Ying Sisi turned around, she caught Li Yuwei staring at her. Startled, she used her clothes to cover her body. “Yuwei, what are you doing?” Her gaze was too intense.
It was like the look of an old bachelor in the village who couldn't find a wife.
So creepy.
“What am I doing?” Li Yuwei quickly looked away, surprised to see that Ying Sisi had such a good figure.
She was curvy with a nice shape.
What a pity that she married Qin Yanci; no matter how beautiful her face or how good her figure, it would all be useless.
Because he wasn't capable.
Don't be fooled by his tall and muscular stature; he couldn't perform.
After ten years of marriage, she would still be a girl after their divorce.
Ying Sisi was speechless. Taking advantage of the moment Li Yuwei was undressing, she quickly entered the inner room, finding a clean tub to sit in, exposing only her neck and above.
Li Yuwei didn't follow her in.
Even when scrubbing her back, she didn't see her.
Ying Sisi had no intention of looking for her, so she scrubbed with the auntie next to her.
When she came out, she noticed that Li Yuwei's locker was empty, and only then did she realize why Li Yuwei had asked her to bathe.
It must have been to check if there were any marks on her body.
What a weirdo!
Ying Sisi twisted her hair dry and returned home, only to find the door locked.
She raised her hand to knock.
But the next second, she hesitated.
At this hour, the neighbors were mostly asleep.
If she made a noise, it would wake everyone up.
Not only would she be criticized by Li Junlu and Song Hanmei, but the neighbors would also gossip.
If Li Yuwei intentionally added a few words, in less than three days, the whole street would be buzzing with news about her “staying out all night with a man.”
She walked to the wall, threw her bag of clothes into the yard, and then climbed over the wall.
As she jumped down, her foot slipped, and she twisted her ankle.
The pain made her cry out softly.
Someone had poured water on the snow, causing it to freeze.
Without needing to check, she knew it was Li Yuwei's doing.
She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to limp back inside.
Li Yuwei was standing by the window, a smug smile on her face.
In her previous life, Qin Yanci had pulled her hair, saying he couldn't stand seeing her hurt because it excited him, wanting her to hurt even more.
Tomorrow, Ying Sisi would drag her injured leg over to see if he could still hold back.
………
“Li Yuwei, if you dare to play tricks on me, just wait.”
Inside her room, Ying Sisi declared as she searched for the bruise ointment she had brought from the countryside, applying it before resting.
She was woken by Song Hanmei.
“Ying Sisi, it's already seven o'clock! Why are you still sleeping? Don't you know you need to cook? Do you think marrying into the Qin family means you can just enjoy being a lady of leisure?” Song Hanmei dragged out her words, her tone extremely sarcastic, clearly mocking her.
Ying Sisi could tell and replied helplessly, “I twisted my ankle.”
“You twisted your ankle? You were just fine last night! I see you're just trying to slack off.
Ying Sisi, I used to feel sorry for you because you grew up without a mother and treated you like my own daughter. But you don't know gratitude! You've been defying me and expecting me to serve you. It doesn't work that way. As long as you stay here, you'll have to work every day. Your dad promised before bringing you here that you wouldn't eat or drink for free.”
