Chapter 268 - 264 We Are All in the Same Boat
——————
"Shut up, just stay put." The old man glared at Lin Zhaodi and, seeing that she was indeed frightened and obediently silent, felt a moment of pride before immediately becoming cautious again.
In just a short interaction, the three old men across from him had already grouped together and approached.
The old man saw their looks and knew they had misunderstood. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, Lin Zhaodi had lost a lot of weight, and from her figure alone, she indeed seemed appealing.
Unfortunately, they hadn’t seen Lin Zhaodi’s face clearly—
"Brothers, peace brings wealth, my wife is old and frail, please show mercy and let us off?" The man said, revealing Lin Zhaodi’s dirty and disheveled face.
Even though Lin Zhaodi had suddenly lost fifty pounds, her body was still undeniably that of an old woman past her forties. Recently under the stress of worry and hectic movement, she looked even older.
The lifted old face, her hair had turned mostly gray, the filthy black face, deeply wrinkled and thin, was truly extremely ugly!
Becoming ugly, however, made it genuinely hard to recognize her as Lin Zhaodi immediately— losing weight quickly did have its advantages!
"Oh~~ Alright, alright, it was a misunderstanding!" Upon clearly seeing Lin Zhaodi’s hideous appearance, the men backed away continuously, disguising their revulsion as they spoke.
