C423 A Serious Madwoman
Yang Chen even thought that if he let Lin Ruoxi throw away her Yulei International one day, she could just go to the market with him to sell mutton skewers. At most, they could just rent a shop to sell, but such a beautiful wish would be hopeless in this lifetime.
However, Lin Ruoxi had no appetite.
She thought of a novel she had read in which the female lead was a doctor who married an officer. The difference in culture between the two of them made the doctor feel that her husband was vulgar, but she couldn't bear to part with him. The doctor never divorced her husband until the end of the novel, but she couldn't figure out what made her put up with a "vulgar" military officer husband.
At that time, Lin Ruoxi thought that the female doctor was contradictory. She clearly thought he was vulgar, but why didn't she want to divorce him? Now she finally understood that matters between a man and a woman were truly a mystery.
She looked at the man sitting on the wooden chair beside her. His upper body was bare, as if he was doing farm work. He didn't even bother to take the tissue and just wiped his mouth with his hand. Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh and pass a stack of tissue to Yang Chen, "Don't use your hand, it's so dirty."
Yang Chen grinned, "I'm used to it. I didn't even have a bowl when I ate in the past. Don't even mention paper towels, I just subconsciously wiped my hands."
Yang Chen took the tissue and vaguely wiped his lips.
Although Lin Ruoxi was curious about Yang Chen's past life and only vaguely knew about it, she didn't want to ask Yang Chen. She felt that Yang Chen would tell her what she should know. One had to know that this fellow usually spoke a lot.
He didn't say anything, probably because he didn't think it was necessary for her to know.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly nodded her head and smiled gently. Her fairy-like face looked like she had an alluring charm on it, but she was holding a half-eaten chicken wing in her hand. It was a strange sight to others.
Unfortunately, no one else noticed.
After finishing their lunch, some waiters who had been preparing for a long time came out of nowhere and helped them clean up all the rubbish.
Lin Ruoxi frowned and said to a waiter, "Tell your manager not to send anyone to follow us. It's as uncomfortable as if they were watching us."
The waiter was silenced and quickly bowed. "CEO, please forgive us. We really aren't monitoring you. We just want to serve the CEO for a bit. It's rare for the CEO to come here."
Lin Ruoxi waved her hands, telling them to leave as quickly as possible. In front of her subordinates, she always showed a bit of dignity.
"Sister Ruoxi is so impressive!" Anxin whispered.
Yang Chen looked at her in ridicule, "You also think that way?"
"Of course," Anxin said matter-of-factly, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her.
After dinner, Yang Chen put on his jacket. Actually, he enjoyed the feeling of having a cold wind blowing on his bare upper body, which he used to do when he was on missions in Siberia. At that time, his entire body would have to be covered in jet-black messy lines, used to hide in the dark forest. First, he would be able to avoid a few ferocious beasts, and secondly, he would have to wait for an ambush.
When he thought back to those days, it was still like yesterday. But now, he was his wife and concubine, a white-collar worker in the city.
A life like this was not monotonous at all. On the contrary, it made his heart more satisfied.
Of course, if his wife was a little more cooperative and got along well with his lovers, that would be the best outcome.
The four of them strolled along the lakeside, the wind blew through their hair, bringing along the smell of dried leaves. Hui Lin's smile did not fade, and she told Anxin and Lin Ruoxi about her past experiences on Mount Emei.
At this moment, it seemed like it wasn't wrong to bring Hui Lin out to relax.
Not far away, there was a small resting area, mainly for the tourists to rest in. The small shop was selling steaming hot Herbal Tea Eggs, dried beans, and some beverages.
However, it just so happened that most of the people were still eating lunch at this time of day. The lounge was empty except for an old man wearing a cotton vest looking at the shop.
Outside the shop, there was a small game point that attracted the gazes of three women.
It was a step table filled with cartoon stuffed toys, so customers could throw little plastic balls and knock the dolls off the table, and the dolls would be yours.
This was a game that could be seen in many amusement parks. However, Lin Ruoxi, Hui Lin, and Anxin had never seen this game before, so they were immediately interested.
The most important thing was that in the tallest spot on the stage, there was a big white fluffy bear doll. That guy was very round, and very eye-catching.
Anxin was alright. The twin sisters, Lin Ruoxi and Hui Lin, were still full of childishness, especially Lin Ruoxi, who had been staring at the dumpling shop's doll in the past, which was why Yang Chen had challenged the 88 dumplings. Now that she saw that big teddy bear, her eyes lit up again.
Yang Chen knew that Lin Ruoxi was too embarrassed to ask him to play, so he put on an act and said, "That game looks pretty interesting. Anyway, why don't we just stroll around and have some fun?"
A trace of happiness flashed through Lin Ruoxi's eyes, but her face remained expressionless as she said, "I'm fine with it, but does Hui Lin want to play with me?"
Hui Lin nodded vigorously, so the four of them walked up to the grandpa. Yang Chen asked, "Grandpa, how much is the game charged?"
The grandpa pointed to an unremarkable wooden board on the side, which was written in red ink and ink. "Five yuan twice, ten yuan five times."
"Then buy thirty yuan first. It just happens to be five balls for each of you." Yang Chen took out a fifty-dollar bill from his pocket. He only had a little money with him, so he didn't have a lot.
The grandpa seemed to be a bit cold. He took the money with trembling hands and gave it to Yang Chen. Then, he took out three small plastic baskets and gave them to the three girls.
"Little ladies, you stand behind the table. Whether or not you can hit the target will depend on your luck. I suggest that you hit the small ones. Although the big ones look good, even if you do hit the target, you won't necessarily succeed." The grandpa kindly gave him some pointers.
The plastic ball was hollow, so when he threw it, most of its strength would be gone. Coupled with the fact that it was light, the wind would cause it to deviate from its trajectory. Thus, for a distance that didn't seem too far, wanting to hit the target was a very difficult task.
Hui Lin stood behind the table first. She had the skills to throw hidden weapons, and although she wasn't good at it, her accuracy and strength were quite impressive.
She threw the first ball and a small teddy bear in the middle was thrown down.
The grandpa clapped in surprise, "This little girl's accuracy is not bad."
Hui Lin smiled sweetly and waited for her grandpa to put the teddy bear into her hands. She then continued to throw three balls, which didn't hit anything. In the fifth ball, Hui Lin hit a white pony. The grandpa also picked up the pony and gave it to Hui Lin.
Yang Chen could tell that Hui Lin was doing it on purpose. He whispered to Hui Lin, "Why don't you use some inner force on that Great Polar Bear and it will get knocked off."
Hui Lin felt Yang Chen spray hot air on her ear, and shyly blushed. She carefully looked at Lin Ruoxi, and seeing that Lin Ruoxi wasn't paying attention, she said: "That big bear should be left to my sister, she seems to like it more than me. Moreover, it's not easy for grandpa to do business in such a cold day, I've already cheated, so I can't bully him."
Yang Chen revealed an 'as expected' expression and caressed Hui Lin's ponytail casually. "You're soft-hearted."
Although Yang Chen only caressed her casually, Hui Lin's heart was beating wildly. In Hui Lin's eyes, touching her hair was a very intimate action.
However, Yang Chen didn't pay much attention. His gaze turned towards Anxin, who was the second one to throw it.
Anxin didn't have Hui Lin's accuracy and strength. Even after throwing five balls, she still hadn't hit a doll. She pouted and said to the boss, "Sir, I still want five balls." As she said that, she took out her wallet and took out a ten yuan note.
Of course, the boss was happy about this. He accepted the money and continued to give Anxin five balls.
Anxin was not disappointed this time. When she threw the fourth ball, she hit one of the smallest clear sky dolls. She was happy, so she didn't continue to throw the ball.
"Sister Ruoxi, you can do it." Anxin stepped back, but didn't forget to give Lin Ruoxi a good show of encouragement.
Lin Ruoxi responded without thinking. She didn't have the time to pay attention to Anxin. She took a deep breath as if she was nervous. She carried the plastic frame to the back of the table. Her big watery eyes were fixed on the Great Polar Bear at the highest point.
"Big sister is so serious." Hui Lin couldn't help but say.
Anxin walked over and whispered, "Those eyes don't seem to be looking to beat the polar bear puppet, but to kill the polar bear. The more she looks at it, the more she looks at the little girl."
At this point, Lin Ruoxi finally 'brewed' her fighting spirit. She took out a plastic ball and threw it towards the polar bear puppet.
The ball was powerful enough, but it flew off course.
Lin Ruoxi's face immediately turned as red as a ripe apple. It was obvious that to her, it would be a shameful thing if she didn't win in front of her rival, her husband, and her little sister.
Lin Ruoxi chose not to look at the expressions of the people around her. She continued to pick up the ball and threw it at the polar bear doll.
Unfortunately, even after Lin Ruoxi threw all five balls, she still couldn't get close enough to the polar bear, let alone knock it off the table.
Without a second word, Lin Ruoxi took out a piece of fifty from her wallet and gave it to the old man. "I want twenty-five balls," she said.
The old man was overjoyed. He immediately gave her twenty-five balls and stuffed the fifty into his vest pocket.
Lin Ruoxi continued to throw the basket full of balls at the polar bear. However, she didn't know how Lin Ruoxi controlled the balls. No matter how hard she tried, they would either fly left or right, but they didn't hit the polar bear. She didn't even hit the other little dolls.
After throwing the twenty-five balls, Lin Ruoxi's face was no longer red. It had turned a little pale, but her eyes looked as if they were ready to kill someone. It was a frightening sight to behold.
"Great lord …" Lin Ruoxi called out. Her voice was so cold that it could freeze a person. Even though the weather was cold to begin with, that old man still felt like he had dropped a dozen degrees Celsius.
"Little... Little girl, you still want more? " The old man was also a bit stunned. He had never seen a customer with such bad luck throw thirty balls and not even one of the smallest dolls.
Lin Ruoxi took out a hundred-dollar bill from her wallet and said, "Give me fifty balls."
The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Little girl, I'm so embarrassed to have you throw it away like this. You keep the money, why don't I give you a little kid. Don't be angry, just take it as your bad luck."
"No way!"
Lin Ruoxi's voice suddenly turned harsh with frost on her face, making the old man's heart jump to his throat.
Lin Ruoxi pointed at Hui Lin and Anxin, who were not far away, and said, "I don't believe I won't succeed once; they can do it, but I can do it too. Don't give me a doll, I don't want it from you, I'll just work hard and get it myself!"
Hui Lin and Anxin looked at each other with a confused expression.
On the other hand, Yang Chen could only bitterly smile. He already knew Lin Ruoxi's strong personality, otherwise she would not have worked so hard and had to prove to the world that she could control Yulei International.
But now, Yang Chen realized that he had underestimated Lin Ruoxi's strong side. This girl's strength had already reached the "weirdo" realm, to the point that she could even become this serious after playing with a little doll.
Lin Ruoxi had probably treated Anxin as an imaginary enemy. She wasn't willing to lose to Anxin in any way, and moreover, she had a personality that refused to admit defeat. If she couldn't defeat her favorite polar bear, she wouldn't easily give up.
The poor grandpa could be considered to be intimidated. This little girl's gaze was not like playing with toys; it was more like killing people!
But since Lin Ruoxi had to give him money, the grandpa didn't say anything. He just gave Lin Ruoxi two baskets of fifty balls. The grandpa bitterly smiled and shook his head.
Lin Ruoxi took the two baskets and placed them in front of her before she continued shooting at the polar bear. Almost continuously, she shot out multi-colored plastic balls.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Lin Ruoxi tried, the ball never hit the figurine.
The old man persuaded her, "Little girl, stop staring at that big bear. That bear looks the easiest to fight, but it is also the furthest away. You might as well hit the small ones, those who are closer are the easiest." He could no longer bear to see such a beautiful girl suffer.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lip, her eyes firm and resolute. "No, I must hit that big bear!"
At this point, Lin Ruoxi had finished her fifty balls, so she took out two hundred dollars from her wallet and said to Uncle, "Uncle, I want a hundred balls!"
The old man felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He could only send another hundred balls over.
How could it be so easy to throw out a hundred balls? Lin Ruoxi threw a dozen, took a break and continued throwing. Half an hour passed just like that.
Hui Lin and Anxin were almost on the verge of tears. They felt that it was inconceivable. Even if they were to throw the ball with their eyes closed, shouldn't they still hit one after a hundred?!
When Lin Ruoxi threw the ball again and took out 400 yuan from her wallet for 200 balls, the grandpa's face turned pale.
"Little girl, I'm begging you. I'll give you the big bear and the other little toys. The toys there aren't even worth 400 yuan!" Master said the truth. He was shocked by Lin Ruoxi. How could there be such a terrifying customer in this world!?
"Ruoxi, how about I help you? Just treat it as a gift from your husband. " Yang Chen stepped forward, trying to persuade Lin Ruoxi that it was getting dark if this went on.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Chen contemptuously, "Why, you think I can't do it too, Anxin can, but why can't I do it, I won't lose."
Yang Chen touched his face and suddenly had nothing to say. He couldn't possibly say, "Actually, you've already lost."
This time, Lin Ruoxi almost snatched two hundred balls from the grandpa, like a small hill, two hundred balls filled up the small table.
Lin Ruoxishu stretched her arms and continued...
However, things were unpredictable. It was as if someone had managed to survive a hail of bullets. After throwing four or five hundred plastic balls, Lin Ruoxi still hadn't managed to hit a single doll.
It wasn't a long day to begin with. By the time Lin Ruoxi had finished her two hundred shots, the sun had already set …
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi's face had already turned gloomy. Her beautiful face gave off a terrifying aura, especially her pitch-black eyes, which seemed to be able to spit out flames that could burn people to death.
The grandpa's back was hunched. He didn't know when he had sneaked into the shop, but he was unwilling to accept more money. He could only hope that this little grandma would leave as soon as possible.
When Yang Chen saw Hui Lin and Anxin already in a daze, he knew that he couldn't continue like this. He walked forward and pulled Lin Ruoxi's arm, "Let's go, don't play anymore. Who's going to be angry over a game?"
Although Lin Ruoxi was unwilling, she knew that she had gone overboard. She looked angrily at the unstoppable Great Polar Bear for a while, then nodded and said, "Wait for me."
Then, under Yang Chen's surprised gaze, Lin Ruoxi walked to the entrance of the shop, placed a ten yuan note on the table, and said to the grandpa, who didn't dare to look at her, "Grandpa, I'll use this ten yuan to buy ten plastic balls for you."
"Huh?"
The old man suspected that he had misheard. With a sullen face, he said, "Little girl, you still want to smash me. I'm already old, it's easy for me to have a heart attack!"
"No, I bought the ball. I'll go back and practice. Once it's done, I'll continue." Lin Ruoxi said solemnly, "Help me keep that Big Bear grandpa, I must get it."
At this moment, not only the grandpa, but even Yang Chen, Hui Lin, and Anxin were stunned.
Anxin made a cross in front of her chest and whispered behind Yang Chen, "Hubby, I will be a good girl in the future. I don't want to play games with a crazy woman like her to get a man. If I were to fight with her for a husband, I'd probably be killed before I could even start …"
Yang Chen reprimanded him unhappily, "What do you mean by 'crazy woman'? Don't speak carelessly."
Anxin stuck out her tongue and pouted. Apparently, she didn't think her words were wrong. She snuck a glance at Lin Ruoxi, who meticulously held the plastic ball, and for the first time, showed a trace of fear in her eyes.
