Reborn as the Villain's Wife, I Shine in 80s

After Tian Tian and Chen Guilan disappeared, Chen Ying couldn’t wait to say, "Sangsang, why did you tell them you need to think about it? If it were me, I’d have grabbed a broom and chased them out. You’ve seen it too, haven’t you? Tian Tian hasn’t changed one bit, always looking like she’s on the verge of dying. She acts like we’re bullying her or something."

"I’ve got my reasons for saying that." Tian Sangsang replied thoughtfully.

"Reasons? You’re not scared of them, are you?" Chen Ying asked incredulously.

Tian Sangsang shook her head slightly, glanced upstairs, and lowered her voice as she said, "Did you notice how your brother acted toward her earlier?"

Chen Ying thought for a second before it suddenly clicked. She looked at Sangsang with wide eyes, "You’re not saying... But seriously, is that the kind of person you’d want here? Think she’ll behave?"

"I’m always at the shop anyway," Tian Sangsang raised her eyebrows, "During the day, I’m here. At night, you’re here."

"The open blade is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is hard to guard against," Chen Ying said worriedly, "If she ends up causing trouble because of my brother, I..."

"Relax, I have my ways of dealing with them," Tian Sangsang reassured her. Keeping her voice low, she added, "They’re a danger outside, and they’re dangerous here too. But better to bring them into our territory and keep an eye on your brother..."

To be honest, it’s annoying—if she doesn’t agree, Tian Tian and her family might just keep coming back to pester her. So why not cut them off at the source, make sure they never get back up again? Since they’re so eager to come, she might as well let them. Plus, it’s a chance to gauge where Chen Ming stands now. If he’s still hung up on Tian Tian, it means he’s hopeless. After all, Tian Sangsang considers him a friend and is willing to spend a little extra time on him.

"My brother is honestly so exhausting..." Chen Ying grumbled in confusion. Why do men always like girls like Tian Tian, weak and pitiful, triggering their protector instincts?
