After being reborn, those two really did get together again.
After confirming it with Zhao Ying, Xia Sisi learned that Lin Yi and Hao Rou had booked the hotel room for four days, and tonight was only the second day.
Scenes from novels about catching cheaters flooded Xia Sisi’s mind, along with all kinds of methods.
Doing livestreams, storming in with a crowd, publicly exposing them, stripping the mistress in the street after revealing their true faces…
But none of those methods were practical for Xia Sisi.
The Lin family was still considered respectable and influential.
If she really made the matter public, the Lin family would not only refuse to cancel the marriage, they also wouldn’t hand over the trust fund shares left behind by Xia Sisi’s parents. Instead, they would completely turn against her and might even smear her name.
To protect the Lin family’s reputation, they might even resort to desperate measures.
As for beating up Hao Rou or stripping off her clothes, those things could wait until the apocalypse.
When order collapsed, Xia Sisi could deal with this cheating couple however she wanted.
“I’ve helped you as much as I can. Honestly, I never liked you in the first place. I only came to eat with you because I felt we were in the same boat.”
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes at Xia Sisi.
Xia Sisi thought about the conflicts between them. It was mostly because she had always been cold by nature, disliked forming cliques, and had embarrassed Zhao Ying a few times in the past.
At that moment, an idea suddenly surfaced in Xia Sisi’s mind—but she would need Zhao Ying’s help to make it happen.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Sisi looked at Zhao Ying and said, “Zhao Ying, I need your help. About the past… Xia Sisi was too stubborn. I promise I won’t go against you guys anymore.”
Zhao Ying froze for a moment, clearly not expecting those words from her.
But after a pause, she still nodded.
Xia Sisi secretly smiled to herself. Great.
Lin Yi, this time, she was definitely going to cut ties with you! Cut ties with the entire Lin family!
After parting ways with Zhao Ying, Xia Sisi contacted the old matriarch of the Lin family.
The old lady was already over eighty years old, but she had always been in excellent health. In her younger days she had been a formidable woman, and even now she ruled the household with unquestioned authority.
Xia Sisi felt that the old lady probably knew something about what Lin Yi had done, but certainly not everything.
At the very least, she definitely didn’t know about Lin Yi and Hao Rou.
Because… due to what she had experienced in her youth, the people she hated most were cheaters and the unfaithful!
Back then, Lin Yi’s father had once kept a mistress outside the marriage, and the old lady had nearly broken his legs over it.
And there was another point…
When she was young, she had liked Xia Sisi’s grandfather.
Obsessively so.
So perhaps, by taking advantage of this, Xia Sisi could completely sever ties with the Lin family.
Xia Sisi told Old Madam Lin that she wanted to take her out for a drive and would pick her up tomorrow evening. The old lady was delighted and even said she would wear her favorite silk scarf.
After hanging up, Xia Sisi took a deep breath and silently hoped that the old lady wouldn’t get so angry tomorrow that she tore her scarf apart.
After running around outside all day, Xia Sisi was already exhausted by the time she got home.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Dahei sitting stiffly by the entrance with his head lowered and his eyes rolled upward in a resentful glare at her.
It practically screamed:
“Where the hell have you been?”
With that droopy black dog face, he looked so pitiful it was almost funny.
Xia Sisi quickly took out the roast chicken she had bought outside and tore off two pieces for Dahei.
“Dahei, look what yummy food I brought for you! Come on, let me feed you!”
Only after seeing the food did Dahei’s expression improve slightly. He grabbed the roast chicken from Xia Sisi’s hand with his mouth and ran off to eat by himself.
That evening, after taking the dog for a walk, Xia Sisi also stopped by a nearby convenience store to buy a pile of fresh vegetables.
She planned to finish her physical training tonight and then cook several dishes to store away.
After all, Xia Sisi was actually quite a good cook.
And the five thousand disposable lunch boxes she had ordered online had already arrived.
For the next period of time, whenever she had free time, Xia Sisi planned to stay home making all kinds of delicious food.
Her goal was to fill all five thousand lunch boxes within the next three months.
At that moment, Xia Sisi and Dahei passed by a milk tea shop.
The moment she saw those beautifully packaged, sweet-smelling milk teas, Xia Sisi suddenly slapped her thigh.
She had stocked up on so much food these past few days—how had she forgotten milk tea?
Milk tea! Such a happiness-inducing thing!
Give Xia Sisi one cup, and she could stay energized all day long!
Right there in the middle of the street, while holding the dog leash, Xia Sisi immediately started searching for nearby milk tea shops.
Any shop she liked, she ordered thirty cups from each!
Lemon green tea Yakult, pineapple fresh milk, cheese berry tea, rose taro milk tea, jade ice…
And so on, and so on.
The milk tea shop in front of her definitely couldn’t be spared either.
She directly ordered forty cups of different varieties, paid for them, and carried the pile of milk teas off into the distance.
When she reached a place where no one was around, she directly stored everything into her spatial storage.
Just thinking that starting tomorrow these milk teas would also be added to her shopping list immediately improved Xia Sisi’s mood.
Dahei had little interest in such sweet and creamy drinks, and Xia Sisi didn’t dare feed him random things anyway.
So by the time they finished walking the dog and headed home, Xia Sisi was in an exceptionally good mood, holding an extra-large cup of milk tea in one hand and Dahei’s leash in the other.
That night, she practiced swinging her blade again while also training her fists and kicks to improve her stamina.
At the same time, Xia Sisi started packing up the things in her house, boxing up everything inside.
The house had already been sold, and she had agreed with the real estate agent that she would move out within five days.
As for the new house, Xia Sisi had taken some time today to find a reliable renovation company. Based on the current simple interior, she planned to reinforce the glass and floors according to her specifications, line the walls with insulation materials, and also install two stoves in the house!
The kind that burned coal and firewood.
Once the stoves were lit, the entire house would become warm.
And Xia Sisi planned to place her bed right beside the stove.
Originally, she had even considered building a traditional northern-style heated brick bed, a kang, but later felt that if she did that, her range of movement would be limited to the bed area, making it impractical.
If there was time left later, she might build one anyway.
Besides that, the most important thing was the doors and windows!
Once the apocalypse arrived, dealing with extreme climates would only be one aspect.
More importantly, she would need protection against all kinds of people with hidden motives.
So the sturdiness of the doors and windows was extremely important.
As for the glass, Xia Sisi directly chose bulletproof glass.
Outside every window, she planned to reinforce them with metal bars two fingers thick.
As for the doors, she chose the sturdiest double-layered doors available.
The outer layer was a massive stainless-steel security door, four centimeters thick.
