God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 530 - 149. There was such a powerful and influential lady_5
...
Ye Shiyu looked at the hand that Ye Lan reached out and still placed her mobile phone in her mother’s hand.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!!"
Just as she actively chose to give up her phone to her mother, the screen seemed to suffer a sudden, massive damage, splitting open a crack down the middle.
Regrettably, at that moment the phone screen was dark, so Ye Lan did not see the huge fracture on the surface of the phone.
She just glanced at Ye Shiyu and pronounced,
"You won’t be using your phone for a while, which is just as well—it’ll break your fixation on contacting Xiao Huan."
...
Having lost her phone, Ye Shiyu suddenly felt a bit panicked. Ever since she had the hypnosis app, her phone had always been in her hands.
But now, filled with panic, she did not realize that once the phone was away from her, her emotions began to grow wildly inside her like a tempest...
Those emotions, which had seemed erased and devoured before.
...
...
At this moment, turning back time a bit, after hanging up Ye Lan’s call, Yan Huan’s face was...
Indescribably gleeful.
He really wanted to, like Shen Teng’s portrayal of Xia Luo, clench his fists and swing them up and down, and exclaim loudly,
"Yeah!!"
In fact, when Ye Lan suddenly turned and left the ninth floor, he realized that she must have seen Ye Shiyu running away.
Then, Yan Huan did not stop her. Instead, he timed it perfectly and made the call.
Just waiting for this, to add insult to injury... ah no, to gild the lily.
Now, with the faint addition of Zuo Jiangqin’s wounded statements, it wouldn’t be surprising if Ye Lan’s palms were steaming from the slaps.
...
Yan Huan shook his head and turned up the corners of his mouth.
"Mom!"
Right at that moment, the elevator doors on the eighth floor open, and Bai Yi rushed out anxiously.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Zuo Jiangqin who had been placed aside on a chair by Yan Huan and Spencer.
They say blood is thicker than water, and even though Bai Yi really disliked her mother and disagreed with her on nine out of ten things,
The moment she stepped out and saw Zuo Jiangqin lying weak and unkempt on the chair, she couldn’t help but feel a tremor in her heart.
Bai Yi hurried over to Zuo Jiangqin, checking her over,
"What happened to my mom? Where did she go just now, how did she end up here... Yan Huan, you..."
Bai Yi turned her head towards Yan Huan and bombarded him with a barrage of questions.
But before Yan Huan could respond, Zuo Jiangqin began to groan uncomfortably.
"Mom?! You’re awake!"
Seeing this, Bai Yi quickly turned her head towards Zuo Jiangqin.
Zuo Jiangqin frowned in a daze, still apparently in the midst of a nightmare,
"I will never lie again... I really haven’t lied many times... The time I bought a regular guitar for my daughter instead of an expensive limited edition one was truly the only time..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s expression froze slightly, even the concern on her face stiffened,
"What... What expensive limited edition guitar, didn’t you say that we didn’t have enough money at the time and could only afford a regular guitar?"
"Who said that, we had the money at the time, it’s just that I didn’t want to..."
Speaking halfway, Zuo Jiangqin seemed to become more lucid.
Before her, however, was the figure of her daughter.
She startled slightly and then her expression gradually became awkward.
Clearly, she realized what she had just said.
"Yiyi, you... you listen to my explanation..."
But upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s face had already turned completely black,
"Great, great, when I actually believed you back then, thinking we had no money and feeling so guilty for wanting something like this, so this is how it was..."
Zuo Jiangqin shifted her gaze away guiltily, then sat up to change the subject,
"I... What’s come over me? I keep feeling like something just happened..."
"Who cares what just happened to you?! I must be out of my mind to bother with your business!"
"Hey, you... Why are you talking to me like this?"
Bai Yi stood up in a fit of pique, not in the mood to deal with her still groggy mother.
But then, she abruptly realized that Yan Huan had been standing by, watching the whole time.
She turned her head and saw Yan Huan standing there, smiling, seemingly blending into the background yet silently observing everything that had just transpired.
The thought alone made Bai Yi wish she could crawl into a hole and hide.
Her cheeks flushed slightly; she cleared her throat, approached Yan Huan and said softly,
"Sorry about that, it was kind of embarrassing for us."
"It’s fine, it’s normal; every family has its own issues."
Watching Yan Huan’s nonchalant attitude, Bai Yi suddenly felt envious of him.
He seemed so free, able to do whatever he wanted without concerning himself with his family’s opinions.
But that envy was something Bai Yi couldn’t express, after all...
Wasn’t that a roundabout way of saying that Yan Huan had no family, that he was an orphan?
That was too morbid.
Bai Yi silently chanted a few "Amitabhas" in her heart.
"Ouch, Yiyi, my head hurts so much, could you help me go downstairs to see a doctor?"
"Can’t... can’t you walk by yourself?"
"Really, why can’t you just be obedient for once? Look at Ye Shiyu, how well she listens to her mom!"
"Heh."
Although reluctant, Bai Yi still let out a sigh and went to support her mother.
Yan Huan silently watched the scene, shaking his head helplessly.
But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Spencer remaining silent, just observing Bai Yi and Zuo Jiangqin, seemingly deep in thought.
Earlier, when he watched Ye Lan chasing after Ye Shiyu, he seemed to have had the same look on his face.
"..."
For some reason, Spencer, who was always noisy, was suddenly quiet, just staring at others, which made Yan Huan feel unaccustomed.
After a moment of silence, he instinctively reached out, intending to pat her shoulder.
But once again, he hesitated, remembering the relationship between him and Spencer.
Thus, the extended hand hovered above her, never actually landing.
"Aw?"
But then, Spencer came back to her senses, looking at him with her clear sky-blue eyes, full of puzzlement,
"What’s up, aw?"
"..."
Yan Huan blinked, withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, and with a faint smile, said,
"It’s nothing. Let’s go see how An Le is doing."
"Aw-aw."
Spencer nodded and followed Yan Huan to the elevator, heading downstairs to check on An Le.
Yet, as they waited for the elevator, she couldn’t help but look back once more at Bai Yi and Zuo Jiangqin, still caught up in their quarrel.
She saw the annoyance and helplessness on Bai Yi’s face, the gloom and distress on Zuo Jiangqin’s...
Then she turned back around to face the elevator doors.
The doors reflected the light, mirroring her image.
And just for a brief moment, that reflection, like the others, began to twist and morph into the image of a chibi golden bomb pig.
"Ding-dong, eighth floor, arrived."
The next second, as the elevator doors opened, the reflection of the golden bomb pig was sharply cleaved in half.
"..."
Spencer blinked, her gaze darkening slightly, but she still promptly stepped forward, following Yan Huan into the elevator.
