The World of Beasts: Snake, I am the mother of all dragons

Chapter 207 Lie Ruier's Encounter and Past, Jin Zilin's Rage

At this moment, the jar of skin care cream in Amber's arms suddenly fell to the ground with a "clang" and rolled a few times on the ground. The jar was broken and most of the white cream was exposed.

Amber was so frightened when he saw this that his face turned pale. He had spent a lot of money to buy this thing. He had thought that he would look radiant so as to give Luoluo a surprise, but now, all his efforts were ruined.

He hurriedly straightened Lie Ruier and bent down to pick up the ointment.

"Oh, what a pity!"

Looking at the ointment with false capacity, after being dropped like that, most of it had spilled out and was probably no longer usable. Amber was so upset that she wanted to cry but had no tears.

My beauty trap!

Lie Ruier watched Amber's series of actions from the side. Seeing that he did not take advantage of her at this time and was still thinking about the ointment, her favor for his upright behavior doubled.

This guy is not only handsome, but also a gentleman.

"Hey, what's your name..."

She was just about to say something to Amber, asking his name or something like that.

But before she could say anything, Amber seemed to suddenly remember something important, and walked away quickly without looking back. Her steps were so hurried that she walked a long way away in the blink of an eye.

As Amber walked, she consoled herself mentally, "Forget it, even though the ointment is gone, at least the surprise I gave Luoluo hasn't been completely lost yet. I have to leave quickly. I can't let Luoluo wait too long, or she'll get anxious."

Thinking of Bai Luoluo, Amber quickened her pace and soon disappeared from Lie Ruier's sight, leaving Lie Ruier standing there.

He stared blankly at Amber's departing back. The words of thanks that were on the tip of his tongue were choked back. He could only watch Amber's back getting farther and farther away until she completely disappeared.

With a look of astonishment and regret, he was still savoring the brief but somewhat special encounter that had just happened.

"Oh, forget it. Someone like me, who comes from an ignoble background, has no right to pursue happiness."

Lie Ruier's gaze slowly moved down and landed on the ointment scattered on the ground, and she couldn't help but lose her mind.

"This is……"

Lie Ruier bent down and gently picked up the ointment. After taking a closer look, she found that it was just an anti-chapped ointment that ordinary people used in their homes when the cold winter came.

Looking at the ointment, her thoughts drifted away, and she couldn't help but think of her past with her mother.

Her mother had a rough life and had been ravaged by those hateful stray animals. She originally thought that her life would be spent in misery.

Unexpectedly, by chance, he was rescued by Lie Xiaotian who was in the Beast City team at that time.

The mother thought that she had met her savior and that her life would be better in the future. However, she did not expect that after Lie Xiaotian got drunk one time, he forced her to have sex with him.

Later, the mother unexpectedly discovered that she was pregnant, and chose to give birth to her alone and take care of her.

During those days, the mother and daughter depended on each other. Although their life was hard, there was some warmth at least.

But the good times did not last long. As the days passed, the illness my mother had contracted during her wandering days became more and more serious, and she eventually died with hatred in her heart.

Before her death, her mother told her about her life story and asked her to go to Lie Xiaotian, hoping that she could have someone to rely on in the Lie family and not live a lonely life like herself.

Whenever Lie Ruier thought about this, her heart felt like it was being weighed down by a huge stone. She knew very well that her status in the Lie family was actually quite embarrassing. Although her brothers and sisters were polite to her on the surface, there were always people who pointed fingers at her behind her back.

And in this huge beast city, what real support can I have? The fleeting good impression I just had is probably just empty.

She sighed softly, carefully put the ointment away, and gently rubbed it with her fingertips, her thoughts still immersed in her mother's gentle care in the past.

This ointment carries too many childhood memories. Every winter, when the wind is cold, her little face and hands will always be frozen red. Her mother will take the ointment and apply it to her carefully, while teaching her lovingly.

"Rui'er, no matter how hard life is, we must not make ourselves suffer. We must take good care of ourselves."

Whenever she thought of this, Lie Ruier's heart was touched and her eyes became slightly red.

At this moment, Jin Zilin's impatient voice came from not far away.

"I really don't understand. Why do you have to choose gifts for no reason? The old man can just prepare them himself. Why do you have to make me come here in person? It's so troublesome."

"Young Master, Master said this is a surprise for our distinguished guests, so we naturally hope you can carefully select it. Moreover, Master has made some preparations himself, saying that it is better to be prepared."

"He's already prepared, but he still wants me to come. Isn't this a waste of my time?"

"Master must have his own reasons for doing this."

The two of them were arguing with each other, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

As Jin Zilin was speaking, he casually looked around. He noticed Lie Ruier, who was standing not far away and was dressed neatly.

When Jin Zilin saw that it was her, his brows furrowed instantly, with obvious disgust on his face. He turned around and asked Jiang Shan in a bad mood.

"Is this the distinguished guest you and the old man were talking about? Are you sure? Why is it her?"

Jin Zilin's tone was full of displeasure.

When Lie Ruier heard this, she felt aggrieved. The good mood that had just been brought about by the warm memories evoked by the ointment disappeared without a trace.

She bit her lip and clenched her fists secretly.

No, she must take control of her own destiny.

"Master Jin, I..."

"Shut up! I'm just too good-tempered, aren't I? Lie Xin'er broke into my room without permission, and I haven't even asked you for an explanation yet. Are all Lie Xiaotian's daughters the same? They're always eager to get close to me. Do you really think I'll spoil you?"

“…No, actually I…”

Sure enough, it was my idiot sister who messed up.

Jin Zilin was too lazy to listen to the other party's explanation. The other party was just coveting his family's property. Was there any other reason?

Jin Zilin's face was filled with anger. He turned his head and shouted at Jiang Shan, "You and the old man are probably teasing me, aren't you? Humph, what do you mean by carefully selecting gifts? This is obviously a blind date. I don't have the time to play tricks with you!"

As he said that, Jin Zilin threw the gift he was about to choose to the ground.

After throwing the gift, Jin Zilin snorted coldly, turned around and walked out angrily, his steps quick and hurried.
