After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

In his mind, Si Yu was nothing more than a tool and a pawn. He couldn't tolerate a pawn daring to ignore him or even give him the cold shoulder.

A dog can't change its nature of eating that stuff, and the same goes for Zhang Xinlong. He has selectively forgotten how he acquired his wealth and status, and who these things originally belonged to, and has even begun to think that they are rightfully his.

"Why aren't you opening the door yet? Do I have to yell at you? Who taught you to be so disrespectful to your elders? Your uncle is here and you're not welcoming him?"

Zhang Xinlong shouted angrily outside the door. The young man beside him was clearly afraid of him and could only cautiously advise him not to be angry.

The more you try to persuade him, the angrier Zhang Xinlong gets. His goal is to introduce Si Yu to this guy, and the plan has already been put into action. But now it's been blocked by what he thought was the easiest part: the meeting. No wonder he's angry.

However, Si Yu still did not open the door to greet Zhang Xinlong despite his anger; instead, she kept the door closed.

This really made Zhang Xinlong explode, and he kicked the door with his foot.

Honestly, if it were just Zhang Xinlong coming alone, he probably wouldn't have reacted so irritably and damaged his image because of Si Yu's attitude.

But now, he's not alone; there's a junior he invited here. Doesn't that mean he's broken his promise to definitely see Si Yu and even win her heart? The junior won't even see him.

Therefore, for Zhang Xinlong, this was a blatant slap in the face and a loss of face.

Zhang Xinlong kicked the heavy security door several times, but it wasn't easily broken. Lin Ying already believed that Zhang Xinlong and his companion intended to harm Si Yu.

If Lin Ying hadn't been worried that Bai Yu would be saddened by Si Yu's accident, she wouldn't have done anything even if she had seen it.

After all, Lin Ying disliked and hated Si Yu from the bottom of her heart.

However, she loved Bai Yu and was willing to give everything for him, even sacrificing herself.

Lin Ying gently opened her front door and went out with a kitchen knife in her hand.

Hearing the door open behind them, Zhang Xinlong and the young man turned around to look at Lin Ying's doorway, only to be startled by the sight of Lin Ying holding a cleaver.

Upon seeing this, the two instinctively took half a step back, but Lin Ying had no intention of talking to them. Mainly, she didn't understand how to talk, so there was no need to talk at all.

Raising the kitchen knife in her hand, Lin Ying stepped forward as if to chop Zhang Xinlong.

Seeing this, Zhang Xinlong was terrified. He grabbed the clothes of the young man next to him, trying to get him to shield him, and shouted in panic.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Zhang Xinlong's panicked expression made him look so disheveled, even a little comical.

A well-dressed upper-class person behaves so despicably when faced with danger.

The young man was clearly stronger than Zhang Xinlong. Zhang Xinlong was pulling him, and he was pulling Zhang Xinlong back and forth, both trying to hide behind each other.

With a swift swing of her sword, Lin Ying's blade failed to actually strike Zhang Xinlong or the young man.

She knew very well that she could scare the two of them, but she absolutely could not actually cut them down. Otherwise, she and Bai Yu would end up with the same fate as in their previous life, and she didn't want that to happen again.

Even so, Zhang Xinlong and the young man were still quite frightened, and in addition to being quite frightened, they were also enraged after their fear.

"Are you crazy? Do you know that what you're doing is illegal? I'm going to sue you. You just wait and see how you get out of this mess."

"That's right, that's right, do you know what the consequences will be if you mess with us? You'll definitely be in big trouble."

The two were cursing and swearing at each other, but their actions showed that they were pulling and tugging at each other, trying to use each other to shield themselves from a possible blow from Lin Ying.

Just one pull~

The door behind the two people who were standing close to the door was suddenly opened; it was Si Yu's door.

With a thud, they fell to the ground. Zhang Xinlong and the young man were standing too close together and fell down directly when the door opened.

Their eyes met, and Si Yu's gaze fell upon Lin Ying, who was holding a kitchen knife.

Si Yu didn't say anything, but he seemed to understand why Lin Ying was standing at his door with a kitchen knife.

Chapter 139: Falling back and asking for monthly tickets

"Uncle, what are you doing lying here?"

Si Yu looked down coldly at Zhang Xinlong lying beside her. Her voice was neither loud nor soft, completely devoid of any emotion, as if she were talking to a stranger.

Looking up at Si Yu who was looking down at him, Zhang Xinlong immediately felt ashamed of lying on the ground. He reached out and slapped the young man next to him on the thigh before trying to stand up first.

Before he could even stand up, the young man stood up faster, and as he did, he subconsciously smoothed his hair and bent down to gentlemanly pull Zhang Xinlong up.

Because he was frightened by Lin Ying and it led to a tug-of-war, Zhang Xinlong was disgusted by the young man's cowardly and timid behavior, so much so that he had a very low opinion of him and even didn't want to talk to him.

Despite his displeasure, Zhang Xinlong knew that this young man was just a pawn, and Si Yu was also a pawn. Only when the two pawns were put together could they be effective. Therefore, Zhang Xinlong could only suppress his displeasure for the time being.

"Siyu, did you sell or rent the house next door? Why is this woman next door trying to attack someone with a knife?"

Standing up and looking at Lin Ying warily, Zhang Xinlong was furious and fierce, but when he retreated and hid behind Si Yu, he looked as cowardly as could be.

Si Yu could tell that this person was clearly complaining to her, but she didn't take it to heart at all. Moreover, she wasn't someone who was oblivious to others' opinions. Although she disliked Lin Ying, the way she came out with a knife clearly indicated that she wanted to help her.

In the past, Si Yu might have thought without hesitation that she was meddling in other people's business, because she disliked her and was prejudiced against her, so she would dislike her no matter what.

But now, after forcing myself to accept reality and the inevitable situation every day, I'm no longer so irrational.

There is a high probability that acquired mental illnesses can be cured, either through external help or by oneself.

Although Si Yu's condition is still present, it has indeed improved a lot compared to before. After all, Bai Yu is indirectly forcing her to change, and she is also forcing herself to accept it.

Of course, being much better doesn't mean being truly better, just as she still can't accept Lin Ying, and still can't accept the current reality.

“Uncle, she’s a tenant. She probably thought you were bad people because you knocked a little too hard. After all, she just moved in, so it’s normal that she doesn’t know you.”

Si Yu casually uttered those words, then turned around and stood in front of the shoe rack, leaning against the cabinet next to it, looking at Zhang Xinlong with no change in expression, but her eyes seemed to be asking what the purpose of his visit was.

Zhang Xinlong ignored Si Yu's gaze, but instead seemed unwilling to let Lin Ying off easily, muttering curses under his breath.

"A bad guy? I already told you I'm your uncle. Is this person deaf or mute? Can't he hear me?"

Upon hearing this, Si Yu waved his hand helplessly, and even wanted to laugh a little.

“Uncle, she’s not deaf or mute, but she’s not from our country either. She’s from a small island nation and doesn’t understand you very well, so she definitely wouldn’t know.”

"Eh...."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinlong was momentarily at a loss for words. If it were Chinese people, it would be easier to do so, since it's easier to do so within one's own country. But if it were foreigners, their countries would provide protection, so it was something to think about.

"Oh, I see. I was wondering how she didn't know. Anyway, let's get down to business."

Zhang Xinlong took a deep look at Lin Ying. He hadn't really looked at this girl closely before, but now he realized she was actually quite pretty.

Her long, golden hair was tied into a long braid that reached her hips, making her look like a newlywed bride. Her azure eyes were as deep as the blue sea and sky, her oval face was fair and firm, and her pink lips, like cherry blossom petals, were absolutely stunning and incredibly alluring.

The combination of Asian features with European eyes and hair color is simply beautiful.

It wasn't just Zhang Xinlong who thought Lin Ying was beautiful; the young people next to him also thought she was beautiful.

However, when the young man looked at Si Yu again, who was wearing a blue long-sleeved waist-length outer shirt with a white sleeveless short jacket, she was completely different from Lin Ying's gentle and virtuous temperament.

This girl is a typical mature woman with long, straight black hair, willow-leaf eyebrows, a pert nose, and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that is like the finishing touch on a painting. Her breasts are exceptionally large and impressive. This must be what they mean by curvy and shapely.

The young man stared wide-eyed, looking back and forth.

Both are stunning beauties, with completely different temperaments and styles. He felt he could wake up laughing from his dreams no matter which one he chose.

If he fails to win over Si Yu, whom Zhang Xinlong introduced to him, using his strategy, he will turn around and go find Lin Ying, at the very least to get her WeChat.

No one knows what the young man is thinking at this moment.

"Uncle, since we're getting down to business, go ahead and tell me. Don't try to set me up on another blind date. If it were this guy in front of me..."

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately straightened up, and even showed what he thought was a very handsome smile because of Si Yu's up-and-down gaze.

But what he heard next was something that made him deeply doubt himself.

"Forget it, it's not my type. Please leave."

He stared blankly at Si Yu for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Xinlong beside him, his eyes full of confusion.

He thought he was good-looking, with a great figure and face, not to mention a decent education and a good family background. How could he be defeated by a first impression and reject him so decisively?

"That's not how it works. Your uncle knows you don't really like blind dates, but given your living conditions, it's very difficult to find a man who is a good match for you, let alone a young man as outstanding as Xiao Liu. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Zhang Xinlong reached out and patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder, and then continued.

"Besides, you haven't talked about anything, and you don't even know anything about each other. Shouldn't you at least have a chat?"

As he spoke, Zhang Xinlong strode toward Si Yu's house without even taking off his shoes.

She felt extremely disgusted by her uncle's behavior of coming to her house without any respect and even entering without her permission.

"Uncle, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to just walk into your niece's house like this?"

With a frown, Si Yu wore a smile on her face, but there was no joy in her eyes.

How could Zhang Xinlong, who had been in the business for so many years, not hear the displeasure in the girl's words?

However, he was dissatisfied with Si Yu's attitude of wanting to get rid of people, but he would not easily reveal it. Instead, he responded with a smile.

"Oh dear, your uncle and you are family, aren't we? You live alone outside all the time, and you're a girl. You have no idea how worried your aunt is about you at home, and your sister is always urging you to come back soon. When can you plan to go back and stay for a while, okay?"

Zhang Xinlong's smile showed no sign of falsehood or pretense, but Si Yu knew very well that the reason she had moved out was because of their repeated exclusion.

"No need, I'm quite happy living here. I'm actually a little uncomfortable at home. How are your aunt and sister doing lately?"

"It's definitely good, but I just miss you. Since you don't want to go back to live here, you should get to know Xiao Liu even more. If a guy you know patronizes you regularly, those criminals won't target you. Uncle is right, isn't he?"

Before long, Zhang Xinlong's true intentions were revealed. He spoke very nicely, saying he was afraid that Si Yu would be targeted by criminals, but little did he know that Si Yu knew he was the biggest threat to her.

"No need. I know all the security guards in this community, and they are all veterans. Security is not a problem. Uncle and Mr. Liu don't need to worry about that."

Si Yu gave Zhang Xinlong no chance at all, to the point that the guy was at a loss for what to do.

In the past, Si Yu would reluctantly agree to be introduced to potential blind dates, but why was she so resolute this time?

"Siyu, come here for a moment. There are some things I want to talk to you about alone."

After saying that, Zhang Xinlong walked to the side and waved to Si Yu.

Si Yu stopped a meter away from Zhang Xinlong.

Seeing that Si Yu was unwilling to get close to him, Zhang Xinlong didn't mind and said in a low voice.

“You silly girl, your uncle is only thinking about you. Let me tell you, Xiao Liu is a returned overseas student with two degrees, comes from a wealthy family, is good-looking, has everything he could want, and more importantly, he has never had a girlfriend before. He is a perfect match for you. You should think it over carefully. If you really don’t think it’s a good match, you can’t embarrass your uncle. We still need to show some basic courtesy, like adding each other on WeChat or something. What do you say?”

Zhang Xinlong's earnest words truly resembled those of an elder caring for a younger generation, and perhaps even surpassed that.

Unfortunately, Si Yu knew exactly who this guy was, since Bai Yu had already told her that the reason she had the car accident in her previous life was because Zhang Xinlong was behind it.

If it were just her death, Si Yu wouldn't hate Zhang Xinlong so much. But the problem is that her and Bai Yu's baby is innocent, and every time she thinks about it, her heart aches.

"Uncle, please don't set me up on any more blind dates. Even if I don't get married, what my parents left me is enough for me to live comfortably for several lifetimes, don't you think?"
