Chapter 30: Getting Under His Skin
The girl's voice, sweet and soft, echoed in his ears.
Qin Yanci immediately felt goosebumps rise on his skin.
His throat felt dry, and his body felt hot.
He got up and pushed open the window, letting the cold air from outside blow on him, which made him feel better.
Ying Sisi shivered in the cold, taking two steps back. “Yanci, it's very cold.”
The next second, Qin Yanci closed the window, a faint smile on his lips, his beautiful eyes reflecting her image. “I'm going back.” He couldn't stand being too close to her, what if he was caught by the poison stepmother? It would solidify the rumors that she couldn't live without a man, which would be bad for her.
“I'll see you out.”
“Take good care of yourself.” Qin Yanci put on his coat, grabbed his books, and walked out of the bedroom, leaving directly.
Li Yuwei hurriedly sat back down in the chair. After he had turned the corner, she grabbed the mink coat from the coat rack and followed him. When they were alone, she shouted, “Qin Yanci! Stop right there! Don't think that just because Sister is defending you, you can abuse her. If you dare to go too far, I will deal with you!”
She had been eavesdropping at the door for a long time, but she hadn't heard anything.
She guessed that Ying Sisi was threatened and didn't dare to speak.
Now she was verbally threatening him, which was tantamount to provoking him and making him angry.
That way, Ying Sisi would suffer even more.
Qin Yanci looked at her with disgust. “Crazy! You're all black fur, like a stupid bear coming out of its cave.”
“You're the stupid bear!” Li Yuwei's eyes turned red.
Hers was mink fur, she had bought it with two months' salary.
He didn't know anything about aesthetics!
She was furious and couldn't hold back, she deliberately tried to get under his skin. “You know what? Your family originally wanted me, but I didn't like you, so they chose your country bumpkin sister.”
“It's your luck that they chose your sister instead,” Qin Yanci says. “If you'd ended up with me, I'd have beaten you up three times a day.” Qin Yanci strode away.
Li Yuwei was filled with resentment. She picked up a brick from the ground and shouted angrily as she threw it at him.
Qin Yanci had anticipated it, and he dodged.
The brick landed on the ground and broke in two.
Qin Yanci turned back and sneered, his voice low and menacing. “Are you tired of living?”
Li Yuwei is terrified. She remembers that he said the same thing before he beat her up in her previous life. She runs back into the house and locks the door. She's out of breath and her heart is pounding. She tries to open Ying Sisi's door, but it's locked.
“Sister,” she asks, “did Qin Yanci say anything about getting a wedding dress for you?”
If he hadn't, she could instigate her to ask Qin Yanci for it, and then he would beat her up again.
Ying Sisi was now completely disappointed in Li Yuwei. Hearing this, she felt like the other woman was setting a trap. ”I don't care if he prepares it or not. If he has it, I'll wear it, if he doesn't, I won't. It's not my reputation that's being lost. You should ask Dad what dowry he's giving. After all, the Qin family is well-respected. If he's too stingy, it will be a laughingstock.”
Li Yuwei: "..."
“Hahaha”
At this moment, a burst of laughter came from outside.
It was Song Hanmei laughing. “Aunt Zeng, you're so funny, who doesn't get old?”
“You really haven't aged, you're still like a young wife in her twenties.”
Song Hanmei was flattered and said generously, “Treat this place like your own home, don't be polite. Sisi, Sisi.”
Two women and a man came in.
The woman is about 50 years old, with dark skin and a headscarf. She's wearing a button-up cotton jacket and pants, and her sharp eyes gleam with cunning.
The younger woman is about 20 years old and has an ordinary appearance. She's wearing a brightly-colored cotton jacket and pants, and she seems timid.
The young man is about 27 or 28 years old, and he's wearing a dark blue cotton jacket and a cap. He has a square face and a short, stocky build.

Translator's Note:
It seems like there is a lot more drama on the horizon! Li Yuwei is still up to no good, and it's clear that Song Hanmei is not a force to be reckoned with. I wonder who these new people are, and how they'll affect the story.
