Chapter 138 Anlu's Purpose

An Lu's face turned red from Wang Dama's retort. She never expected that these people from the mountain village would dare to talk back to her like that.

She suddenly raised her chin, her eyes almost overflowing with contempt.

"What do you know? A bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world! Do you really think you can live a good life just by staying in this poor, desolate place? When I'm living in a mansion and driving a car in Hong Kong, let's see if you'll still be laughing then!"

Liang Yi shielded An Min behind him.

"Whether we live a good life or not is none of your business, an outsider. Anlu, if you have any shame, take your things and leave Baiyanggou. Don't embarrass yourself here."

"a shame?"

As she spoke, she reached out to push Liang Yi, but he dodged to the side.

An Lu staggered, becoming even more enraged. She grabbed the pastry box from the ground and threw it at Liang Yi, yelling, "I'll teach you to dodge! I'll teach you to dodge!"

The pastries were scattered all over the floor, and the delicate wrapping paper was blown about by the wind.

The neighbors frowned as they watched this scene.

Uncle Li stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "That's enough. Are you leaving or not? If you're not leaving, we'll kick you out!"

Anlu glared at them fiercely, then picked up her suitcase and swayed away.

No one noticed the smile on her lips as she walked away.

Anmin wants to investigate her? Dream on.

With her outburst today, the whole world now knows she's her sister.

If they ruin An Min's reputation and smear her with another label, Liang Yi won't be able to keep his official position either.

This is her purpose today.

An Min frowned as she watched An Lu's retreating figure, feeling somewhat uneasy.

An Lu's coming here to cause trouble is clearly not a wise choice. Why did she do this?
When the villagers who had come to watch the commotion saw that An Lu had left, they all left as well.

After Liang Yi carried the child inside, he saw that An Min was standing still.

He walked quietly to Anmin's side and put his arm around her shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?"

An Min slowly turned around, her brows still furrowed, her eyes shrouded in a thin mist of confusion.

"Liang Yi, don't you find this strange?"

“Anlu is doing so well in Hong Kong, why would she bother to come all the way to our remote mountain village and cause such a scene? She knew that wearing those clothes and saying those things would make her look like a monster and might even get her into trouble, but she still did it.”

After saying this, An Min tilted her head: "Besides, she can achieve what she wants through others, so why does she have to do it herself?"

Liang Yi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the scattered crumbs of pastry on the ground.

"What she said and did just now was too deliberate."

"It's like she's deliberately trying to get everyone's attention, to make her and your relationship known to everyone."

"Everyone knows..."

An Min repeated those four words, then suddenly looked up: "She wants to... ruin my reputation?"

I recalled An Lu's arrogant and domineering demeanor, which made her seem out of place in the entire Baiyanggou area.

In addition, she kept calling her sister "older sister," clearly intending to make the villagers think that Anmin had such an improper younger sister.

And her relationship with Liang Yi, Liang Yi's identity...

Liang Yi had obviously thought of this as well, and his face darkened as he tightened his grip on An Min's shoulder.

"don’t worry."

He looked into her eyes, his tone firm, trying to dispel the fear in them.

Anmin knew Anlu; that person was never one to make a losing deal.

She must have a deeper purpose in putting on this show today.

"She won't let this go so easily."

After Anmin finished speaking, she had an idea in mind.

But not knowing Anlu's true intentions, she couldn't act rashly. For the next few days, Anlu acted as if she were living in Baiyanggou.

Although everyone knew she was arrogant and domineering, An Lu didn't care at all, and even greeted everyone.

She kept calling Anmin "sister".

Until that day, a phone call from An Qing completely revealed An Lu's true intentions.

“Minmin, Liang Yi’s promotion documents are stuck in the review process. The person reviewing them said it’s because of An Lu.”

"Because of Anlu?"

Aunt Anqing's words stunned Anmin.

"Yes, Anlu is doing business in Hong Kong. She dressed up in a flamboyant way to visit you, hoping to ruin your reputation and prevent Liang Yi from getting promoted."

An Min's fingers tightened suddenly as she gripped the phone, her knuckles turning white.

My aunt's voice continued through the receiver, filled with barely concealed anxiety.

"Auntie, I understand. Let's think of a way."

After hanging up the phone, An Min turned around and saw Liang Yi.

"Going to the leaders now will only make us look like we're making excuses. Since Anlu dared to do this, she must have already thought of her response."

An Min gave Liang Yi a somewhat apologetic explanation.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this again."

Liang Yi shook his head: "I guess you already have a solution, right?"

"She dares to cause trouble in Baiyanggou simply because she thinks the people here can't do anything to her."

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Liang Yi understood what she meant: "What do you want to do?"

"Doesn't she like acting? Then let's play along with her."

An Min turned around, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

She ignored Anlu's provocations and focused on taking care of the children at home.

An Lu got even angrier when she saw that An Min was ignoring her.

Anlu wandered around the village more and more frequently, wearing an incongruous dress every day and waving an exquisite folding fan in her hand.

He would raise his chin and ask anyone he saw, "Have you seen my sister? You know, Liang Yi's sister. Why are you always avoiding me?"

Once, when Aunt Wang was washing clothes by the river, she was stopped by Anmin and asked three times. Anmin couldn't help but retort, "Anmin is busy making cotton-padded jackets for her child. She doesn't have time to stroll around with you."

An Lu immediately raised her eyebrows: "Making cotton-padded jackets? My sister used to never lift a finger. If it weren't for the poverty in this place, would she be living such a rough life?"

When these words reached Anmin's ears, she was bending down to sew tiger-head shoes for her child.

She paused for a moment, then continued threading the needle.

When Liang Yi returned from outside, he noticed she hadn't moved for a while and asked softly, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard."

Anmin lifted up the sewn shoe upper to look at it; the stitches were fine and neat.

The more anxious she is, the more it shows that she's afraid we'll stay calm.

The next day, An Lu actually carried a basket of imported fruit and barged straight into Liang Yi's yard.

"Sister, I brought you and your nephew some rare items. Would you like to try them?"

She deliberately slammed the fruit basket onto the stone table, making a crisp sound.

"Unlike the clods of soil here, which won't make you grow tall even if you eat them."

Anmin stood under the eaves holding her child, her face expressionless: "I've discovered that you really are shameless."

She was so rude to her last time, how could she still shamelessly come back?

Anlu really went all out to achieve her goal.

"I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against a petty person, but I'm thinking about my sister."
