Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 832: Chapter 419: Silence Is Golden (First Update)

Lawrence Winters stared at the tightly closed door, dumbfounded for a while.

She looked down at the money in her hand, which was the newly exchanged US Dollar, five bucks.

She had checked online that giving five dollars for helping someone move a box was quite a lot, and it was just a few steps.

But the man acted like he was being humiliated...

What did she do wrong?

Lawrence shook her head, somewhat puzzled.

She had just analyzed the faces of the couple earlier.

The man was handsome, but had a fierce aura, like someone who licks blood off a knife and works hard for a living.

The woman was very pretty but had a worldly air that even someone who doesn’t know face reading could tell what she does.

Lawrence just happened to know some face reading, so she saw more and farther.

That woman, Sally, though she had a worldly air, had very upright eyebrows, indicating she was kind-hearted and wouldn’t stay in that profession forever, she would eventually get out.

The man, Big D, was harder to say; he belongs to the type of people who are "a thought from Heaven, a thought from Hell," and he has a big disaster this year, possibly a life-threatening one.

Lawrence carefully organized the information about these two people in her mind.

Then she looked up to check out the place she needed to stay for at least a week.

It was a single room with a window facing the street, which might be the reason why it was pricier than other rooms.

The room was simply furnished, with a single bed placed directly against the wall without a headboard.

The bed was covered with a coarse blue floral bedsheet, and without touching, she could tell it was at most 200 thread count.

Lawrence had extremely delicate and sensitive skin, and sleeping on such a bedsheet would graze her skin overnight.

But she wasn’t worried at all.

The two large suitcases contained all her daily essentials, including a bed cover and Egyptian cotton sheets of at least 2000 thread count.

On each side of the single bed were two very old-looking nightstands that seemed to be from a flea market, with intricate carvings contrasting sharply with the simple and rough furniture in the room.

On the right nightstand was a standard table lamp, the lampshade was somewhat old, and a frayed cord was connected to the plug in the wall socket.

By the window was a small desk and a folding chair.

Such folding chairs wouldn’t cost more than five dollars each back home.

Except in some very remote village roadside restaurants, few people would use such folding chairs now.

She didn’t expect to see such antiques in the world’s largest city.

Against the wall opposite the bed was a TV cabinet and TV set.

Surprisingly, the TV wasn’t a flat screen but an old CRT TV.

Lawrence curiously fiddled with it for a while and turned on the TV.

Thank heavens, it was still colored, not black and white.

As soon as the TV was turned on, the room was filled with lively noise.

The TV was showing programs not in English but in Chinese.

It looked like a Qing dynasty drama, where the man had his nostrils upturned, braided hair, wearing a dark green surcoat with a dark red robe underneath.

Hmm, red and green, what a mess.

The Qing dynasty man passionately facing the woman: "...You are heartless, cruel, unreasonable!"

The actress was quite pretty, with big eyes, looking pitiful, objecting tearfully, "Then are you not heartless?! Not cruel?! Not unreasonable?!"

Qing dynasty man repeated like a machine: "Where am I heartless?! Where am I cruel?! Where am I unreasonable?!"

Qing dynasty woman, with tears streaming, stuck to her three lines: "Where are you not heartless?! Not cruel?! Not unreasonable?!"

The Qing dynasty man finally added a few more words: "Even if I were more heartless! More cruel! More unreasonable! I would never be more heartless! More cruel! More unreasonable than you!"

The Qing dynasty woman seemed overwhelmed and shouted, "Can I be more heartless?! More cruel?! More unreasonable than you?! — You are the most heartless, cruel, and unreasonable person I’ve met!"

Lawrence watched in shock.

This is brainwashing with demonic sounds!

Her head was filled with the words "heartless," "cruel," and "unreasonable," almost unable to think normally.

"What era is this ancient drama from? Can it get any more normal?!" Lawrence rolled her eyes, not even wanting to search for the name of the show, "You two get out of here! You can’t even argue with valid points!"

She resolutely switched channels.

But after switching through several channels, they were all playing the same drama.
