Chapter 21 The White Moonlight Calls? Wife: Put it on speakerphone, let me hear it.
"beep--"
The hands-free activation notification sounded particularly jarring under the silent grape trellis, like a shrill alarm.
Su Qingge's fingers were long and slender, but she pressed them firmly against the screen, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
She held the phone up like a grenade that could explode at any moment.
Those phoenix eyes, which usually carried a hint of laziness and a touch of arrogance, were now like a frozen lake, chillingly fixed on Lin Zhou's face.
Lin Zhou felt like an escaped prisoner being targeted by a searchlight.
His Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead and dripped onto the bamboo recliner.
This is practically the ultimate version of a chaotic battleground!
The call was connected.
There was no roaring or questioning as expected.
The voice coming from the receiver was delicate, soft, and even a little choked up and trembling:
"Brother Lin Zhou? Is that you?"
"Waaaah... You finally answered my call! I thought... I thought you really didn't want me anymore..."
That voice was so melodious and poignant, it evoked such pity in me.
If you didn't read the notes, just by listening to this noise, you'd think it was the female lead from some melodramatic drama crying in the rain.
Lin Zhou felt a shiver run through his body, and goosebumps instantly rose all over his skin.
This taste...
Why is it even stronger than that basin of foot-washing water from before?
Su Qingge raised an eyebrow.
She didn't speak, but a cold, extremely sarcastic smile curled at the corner of her lips, and she slightly raised her chin, gesturing to Lin Zhou:
Say something! Your dear sister is crying, aren't you going to comfort her?
Lin Zhou felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced himself to say "feed" into the phone:
"Um...it's so late, is there something you need?"
That "feed" sound was like flipping a switch.
Chu Yuwei on the other end of the phone seemed greatly encouraged, her sobbing voice instantly intensified, and she unleashed her full "tea ceremony" skills:
"Brother Lin Zhou, please don't be so cold to me, okay? My heart is aching so much..."
"I saw the trending topics on today's live stream, and I really... really feel so sorry for you!"
"How could Sister Qingge treat you like this? You're such a proud person, a real talent in school. How could she let you live in such a run-down house, and even make you... make you wash her feet?"
Every word is like poison coated in sugar.
While praising Gao Linzhou, he subtly pushed Su Qingge into the mud.
Su Qingge's cold smile grew even more pronounced, even carrying a hint of murderous intent.
She looked at Lin Zhou, her eyes saying: Listen to this, how considerate you are, unlike me, I would only make you wash my feet.
Lin Zhou's hand holding the phone began to tremble slightly.
It wasn't because I was moved, but because of a kind of physical discomfort.
When the original owner transmigrated and received the memories, the thick "white moonlight filter" that the original owner had for Chu Yuwei shattered into pieces, like glass that had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
I used to think she was a gentle and kind innocent girl.
Now, no matter how you listen to it, that tone reeks of nauseating scheming and hypocrisy.
Feeling sorry for me?
You feel sorry for me but won't send me money? You feel sorry for me but instead of finding a way to help me, you call to sow discord at this time?
Chu Yuwei on the other end of the phone was clearly unaware of the changes happening here, and continued her performance, her tone becoming increasingly impassioned:
"Brother Lin Zhou, I know you have your reasons. Is it because of that contract? Did she pressure you with the penalty for breach of contract?"
"She's a big star now, and to clear her name and create a new image, she's willing to sacrifice your dignity... How did she become so mercenary?"
"If it were me... if I were by your side, I would never want you to suffer even the slightest grievance! Even if it meant suffering myself, I would make sure you lived like a king!"
These words are so poignant that they would break one's heart and bring tears to the eyes of anyone who hears them.
If it were the original owner of this body who was out of her mind, she would probably be moved to tears right now, wishing she could sprout wings and fly over immediately.
But right now, Lin Zhou only felt his head buzzing.
He secretly glanced at Su Qingge.
Su Qingge was no longer angry at this moment.
She leaned against the grape trellis pillar with a blank expression, her arms crossed, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, as if watching a poor clown performance.
But her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
It turns out that, in the eyes of outsiders, and even in the eyes of the person he "loves most," she is such a snobbish, vicious, and ruthless woman who will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.
A strange sense of sorrow welled up in my heart.
Su Qingge bit her lower lip, suddenly not wanting to listen anymore.
She reached out, wanting to hang up the call that disgusted her.
"Brother Lin Zhou, please get a divorce!"
Just then, Chu Yuwei unleashed her final trump card, her voice becoming urgent and seductive:
"Leave that cold-blooded woman! I don't mind that you're poor, and I don't mind that you've been married before."
"I've been waiting for you... As long as you turn around, I'll always be waiting for you in the same place!"
"Let's start over, okay? I'll treat you a thousand times, ten thousand times better than she did!"
See the picture poorly.
This is a blatant coup.
The air froze completely in that second.
Su Qingge's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, her fingertips icy cold.
She glanced at Lin Zhou instinctively, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and even... a trace of fear that she herself was unwilling to admit.
What is he waiting for?
Is he hesitating?
Yes, that was the white moonlight he loved throughout his youth, the name he wrote countless times in his diary.
And what about herself? She was just a "vicious wife" who used him as a tool and used breach of contract fees to blackmail him.
Any normal man would choose the gentle and understanding woman, right?
Su Qingge's heart sank little by little.
She gave a self-deprecating twitch, wanting to withdraw her hand, wanting to turn around and leave, to preserve the last bit of her pitiful dignity.
however.
Just as she was about to turn around...
"suck--"
Lin Zhou suddenly took a deep breath.
It was a deep breath that felt like it was emptying all the stale air from the lungs.
Then, he looked up.
Those usually flirtatious eyes, which always carried a hint of frivolity, were now frighteningly clear, without the slightest confusion or hesitation.
He looked at Su Qingge, at this woman who appeared exceptionally fragile yet feigned strength under the moonlight.
Then, speaking into the phone in an unprecedentedly clear and firm voice, he directly interrupted Chu Yuwei, who was still calling out affectionately on the other end:
"Wait a moment."
The voice on the other end of the phone abruptly stopped: "What's wrong? Brother Lin Zhou, did you agree...?"
"no."
Lin Zhou's lips curled into a mocking smile, his voice carrying a hint of nonchalant laziness, yet every word was like a knife:
"I just want to ask one question."
"Excuse me, ma'am, were you eating garlic over there?"
