Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 110: Living Yama Protects His Wife! A Single Glance Terrifies the Cadre’s Wife!

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Living Yama Protects His Wife! A Single Glance Terrifies the Cadre’s Wife!

The train clattered forward with a "clunk, clunk".

Inside the soft sleeper compartment, the atmosphere was a bit peculiar.

Gu Lan leaned against the window, her eyes sparkling.

"Sister-in-law, look! We’re almost at Beijing!"

Lin Wan Yi, holding Gu Ning, nodded with a smile.

"Yes, we’re almost there."

Her gaze swept past the excited Gu Lan and landed on the man opposite her.

Gu Yanshen sat upright, like a silent sculpture.

He wasn’t looking out the window, nor was he looking at them.

He was just staring at the shadows connecting the carriages, lost in thought.

In the entire compartment, apart from Gu Lan’s chatter, there was another particularly jarring sound.

"Wah—wah—"

The sharp crying almost pierced through one’s eardrums.

The middle-aged woman sitting diagonally across from them was impatiently bouncing the child in her arms.

"Crying, crying, all you know is crying! Such a troublesome little thing!"

The woman was wearing a highly fashionable Dacron shirt and a Shanghai-branded watch on her wrist.

The child in her arms, probably a little over a year old, was crying himself red-faced, barely able to catch his breath.

The woman’s husband, a bespectacled man who looked like an official, stood helplessly to the side.

"Xiu Mei, keep your voice down; we’re on a train."

"Keep my voice down?" The woman, called Xiu Mei, grew even more enraged.

"Listen to this crying! It hasn’t stopped since we boarded! My ears are about to burst!"

As she spoke, she cast a disdainful glance at Lin Wan Yi’s side with the corner of her eyes.

Especially when she saw Gu Ning in Lin Wan Yi’s arms and Gu An sleeping soundly on the small bed next to her.

The two children were chubby and fair, one looking around curiously with big eyes, the other sleeping with tiny bubbles forming at his lips.

Quiet and unusually well-behaved.

Xiu Mei’s face turned even more unpleasant.

She muttered sarcastically to her husband.

"Look at them, having not one but two."

"Country folks are different; their kids are like dirt clods, thriving wherever they’re thrown, easy to raise."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the compartment to hear.

Lin Wan Yi hadn’t spoken yet when Gu Lan’s face darkened first.

"Sister-in-law, I’m going to fetch some hot water."

Gu Lan said as she stood up, deliberately saying "oops" as she passed by Xiu Mei.

"Auntie, your child is crying so hard, his voice is hoarse."

Xiu Mei rolled her eyes.

"Isn’t it normal for children to cry?"

"Indeed," Gu Lan said with a bright smile.

"But our An An and Ning Ning hardly cry."

"My sister-in-law says a mother knows best if her child is comfortable. If the mother is unhappy, the child senses it and acts up."

"Don’t you agree?"

Xiu Mei’s face flushed to a liver-like color.

"You... how can you talk like that, young lady!"

Gu Lan blinked innocently.

"I was just casually talking, Auntie, don’t take it to heart."

With that, she left humming a tune with the thermos in hand.

Xiu Mei was left speechless, and could only vent her frustration on her own child, bouncing him even harder.

The child cried even more furiously.

At this moment, the usually well-behaved Gu An stirred, his little mouth pouting, seemingly about to cry too.

Xiu Mei immediately seized the opportunity, her voice sharpening.

"See! I told you! All kids are the same! Going to cry!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Lin Wan Yi didn’t even glance at her.

She took out a small military canteen from her bag.

Opened the lid and brought it to Gu An’s mouth.

"An An, have a sip of water."

Gu An’s little mouth opened, clamped onto the spout, and took two small sips.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The little guy who seemed ready to cry a moment ago, after drinking the water, smacked his lips.

In the next moment, he laughed "giggling" at Lin Wan Yi.

The crisp laughter was an ironic contrast to the ear-splitting crying next door.

The whole compartment fell silent in an instant.

Xiu Mei and her husband stared dumbfounded at the scene.

The child in Xiu Mei’s arms was still crying hoarsely.

And Lin Wan Yi’s child, a sip of water, and he was fine?

Xiu Mei’s eyes were fixed on the military canteen in Lin Wan Yi’s hand.

Her gaze turned greedy and fervent in an instant.

She suddenly stood up and rushed to Lin Wan Yi.

"Comrade!"

Her voice was distorted with excitement.

"What’s in your canteen?"

Lin Wan Yi coolly put the canteen back into her bag.

"Just plain water."

"Impossible!" Xiu Mei screamed.

"Ordinary water could have such an effect? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Do you have some secret formula in there? Or some special foreign medicine?"

She grew more agitated, even reaching out to grab Lin Wan Yi’s bag.

"Let me see!"

"What are you doing!"

Gu Lan, having just returned with water, saw this scene and immediately put the thermos on the floor, rushing over to push Xiu Mei away.

Lin Wan Yi, holding her child, sidestepped nimbly.

Xiu Mei lunged and missed.

She got even more aggressive, like a shrew screeching clawing.

"Still hiding it! Just some good stuff, what makes it so special!"

"I’ll tell you, my husband is an officer in the Beijing ministry!"

"Give me that water, and the price is negotiable!"

"If you don’t give it..."

She wore a threatening look.

"Once we reach Beijing, you’ll regret it!"

Lin Wan Yi smiled.

"Is that so?"

She hadn’t yet said another word.

A dark shadow, quick as lightning.

A large hand, like a red-hot pincer, suddenly grasped Xiu Mei’s wrist in mid-air.

It was Gu Yanshen.

He had gotten up at some point, his towering figure stood in front of Lin Wan Yi like a mountain.

His face remained expressionless, yet his eyes were like an icy abyss.

"Ah—"

Xiu Mei let out a scream.

Her wrist was squeezed audibly, the joints making a cracking sound.

Pain! Excruciating pain!

"Let... let go! Let me go!"

Xiu Mei’s face turned pale, sweat pouring down her face.

She tried to break free, but the hand felt welded to her bones, immovable.

"Old...Old Zhang! Help me!"

She pleaded with her husband for help.

The man, with the demeanor of an official, was so frightened that his face grew ashen and he rushed over.

"Com...rade, let’s talk it out, please let go first!"

"My wife didn’t mean any harm..."

Gu Yanshen ignored him.

He didn’t even raise an eyelid.

He just stared at Xiu Mei, word by word, squeezing out from between his teeth.

"Apologize."

The voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a chill from the underworld.

Xiu Mei was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face.

Looking at Gu Yanshen’s eyes, devoid of any human emotion, she felt like she was being stared down by a beast.

She could be torn to pieces at any moment.

Fear overwhelmed the pain and bravado.

"I... I was wrong..."

She stammered shakily.

"I’m... I’m sorry..."

Gu Yanshen released her hand.

As if discarding a piece of trash.

Xiu Mei collapsed to the ground with a "thud", cradling her wrist, trembling like a leaf.

She dared not utter another word.

The compartment fell into deathly silence.

Just then.

"Attention passengers, the next stop is the terminal station for this train — Beijing Station..."

The sweet voice of the announcer came through the broadcast.

The train began to slow down, and outside, the familiar silhouette of the platform became clearer.

"We’re here! We’ve arrived in Beijing!"

Gu Lan exclaimed excitedly.
