Chapter 221: Chapter 217: The Person of Unknown Identity [-32 More]

——————

"Alright, please leave my house quickly, you are not welcome here—as for the claim that I, Zhang Shan Ni, have been spreading bad rumors about you, you’ve absolutely got the wrong person. I only returned to the military three days ago. Since coming back, I haven’t even been downstairs at the family quarters; I’ve had others buy my daily necessities for me—"

Zhang Shan Ni’s large almond eyes narrowed slightly, her cold face glaring at Lin Yingxia’s actions, and her icy voice continued to rise:

"If you don’t believe me, the military’s Rong District has access records; you can check them out yourself! My home does not welcome you—please leave!"

Having spoken briskly, she supported her waist with one hand and pointed towards the door with the other, signaling them all to scram.

The hostess had repeatedly urged them to leave, and Lin Ximei, thick-skinned as she may be, didn’t dare to be unreasonable in front of Xie Tiesheng and his wife. Feeling guilty and weakened, she skulked away with her young daughter.

Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Lin Aifei.

Lin Aifei didn’t dodge or hide, staring right back at her unflinchingly, not showing the slightest weakness.

If one didn’t know they were blood-related mother and kin, as recorded in the family registry, one might think the two women had a private vendetta!

Following this disturbance, the dinner party could only break up unhappily.

Qin Yanzi and Li Xiaxia both knew that Lin Aifei wanted to stay until the end to explain things to Zhang Shan Ni, so they left together ahead of time.

Before Lin Aifei left, she felt extremely embarrassed and guilty, so she repeatedly apologized to Zhang Shan Ni:

"Shanni, I am sorry. What was supposed to be a pleasant dinner was, because of me, spoiled, and everyone was left dissatisfied. I am really ashamed. That mother of mine and her group are actually just stupid, being used by others and not even aware of it."

"Your mother being foolish, that I can believe. As for that white lotus of a sister, I’m not so sure. If her first plan doesn’t succeed, she might have another one up her sleeve, so be careful yourself."

Zhang Shan Ni has solid values and isn’t someone prone to misdirect her anger. Seeing that Lin Aifei’s face was flushed with shame, she kindly comforted her:

"Sister Fei, you have no need to say sorry, it’s not your fault. Everyone is a separate individual; they are them, and you are you—I can still distinguish that clearly."

"Thank you for understanding me..." Lin Aifei, not a young girl any longer, knew that for Zhang Shan Ni to react this way was already quite admirable.

"Alright now, I’m not that petty. Sister Fei, be careful on your way back, watch out for any troubles. See you next time at another gathering—"

Claiming to be tired from the ordeal, Zhang Shan Ni let the little aunt tidy up the living room and went back to her room herself, her mind racing—

Lin Ximei showing up to confront her was not surprising to her. After all, if Lin Ximei actually had any brains, she wouldn’t have raised a daughter like Lin Aihong.

That Lin Aihong would come was also expected by Zhang Shan Ni, after all, that kind of woman, who acts solely based on her own whims without any consideration for consequences, wanting to do whatever she wanted, there was nothing surprising about her showing up.

However, what Zhang Shan Ni found strange was Lin Yingxia’s behavior.

This woman was too peculiar. Although she seemed to be constantly correcting her own actions, Zhang Shan Ni still noticed that this woman’s frame not only seemed like it had been specially trained, but her entire body was filled with a strong sense of power—a sense that put Zhang Shan Ni on guard with her sixth sense the moment she stepped in.

And the instinctive self-defense postures that she revealed now and then amidst her movements, if not specially trained, one would not have such a habitual bodily self-defense!

If Zhang Shan Ni wasn’t watching her closely, she might not have noticed, but upon closer observation, her identity seemed very suspicious—it didn’t resemble that of a country girl at all.

In fact, Zhang Shan Ni had already determined that Lin Yingxia was definitely not the plain and simple woman that a countryside could raise!

The reason was that Lin Yingxia herself had given it away.

Once a person harbors suspicion, they will surely observe more carefully, scrutinize the other person’s physical characteristics, and their speech and behavior.

Zhang Shan Ni did exactly that. Compared to an ordinary person, she had an extra cheat—God’s perspective: spiritual power.

Zhang Shan Ni instinctively covered Lin Yingxia with her spiritual power. But the moment she released her spiritual power, she discovered that the other person could sensitively look up and gaze into the sky in bewilderment—this indicated that the woman had a strong perception and was very alert, reactions that a common villager certainly couldn’t possess!

Upon realizing this, Zhang Shan Ni immediately issued an order to send the guest away.

Keep a dangerous individual in front of her family, who were old, weak, ill, and young? Zhang Shan Ni was not so foolish as to make such an idiotic mistake!

At the same time, she pondered what she already knew about the other person—

Lin Yingxia, this woman, had been in the military for quite some time, and it wasn’t like she hadn’t seen her, but she always felt that the woman she saw was completely different from the Lin Yingxia that Sister Xiaxia had talked about!

Although her spiritual power only enveloped the other person for a moment, and she quickly withdrew it as soon as the other person noticed, she still noticed something unnatural about Lin Yingxia’s skin—she had disguised herself!

Perhaps the foundation wasn’t applied finely enough, or maybe she had been careless. Ordinary people wouldn’t expect someone to purposely darken their own skin, but Zhang Shan Ni herself was such an oddity!

Some time ago, due to taking Spirit Core Liquid, the original occupant of her body had tanned so much that she was dark as coal, leading her to apply dark, unattractive makeup every day back in her hometown!

She understood the details of applying such makeup and disguising oneself a bit more than the average person.

Lin Yingxia’s give away point was that she hadn’t applied dark powder to the temples near her ears!

Ordinary people wouldn’t bother to stare at someone’s temples closely, but Zhang Shan Ni was an exception.

She had spiritual power, and once it enveloped someone, it left no dead angles in a full three hundred and sixty degrees.

The skin near the ears, if not covered by dense hair, would reveal the original skin color!

And because it was concealed by black hair, many people would simply consider that area a blind spot in their vision and not pay too much attention to it.

Zhang Shan Ni had discovered it.

Between Lin Yingxia’s hair at the temples, there were obviously two different skin tones. Zhang Shan Ni zeroed in on it for a second, but then immediately shifted her gaze away, certain that the other party hadn’t noticed.

Sometimes details determine success or failure.

At that moment, Zhang Shan Ni became wary of Lin Yingxia and made up her mind to keep her family away from this dangerous person of unknown identity!

Why conclude that the person was ’dangerous’? Ha, to mingle and become as close as sisters with someone like Lin Aihong, one’s mind couldn’t possibly be normal, and moreover, the other person clearly had abilities—a capable and mentally abnormal old woman is usually a violent and crazy woman!

Zhang Shan Ni’s alarm bells for Lin Yingxia were at a high level of caution!
