Chapter 17 Chapter 17

Lin Mengmeng was indeed a night owl. She was still sitting in the living room watching TV series at around one in the morning, occasionally stuffing snacks into her mouth. Gu Ting came into the room breathlessly holding the little girl, and saw her immersed in watching TV.

Gu Ting had no mind to care about anything else. Her only thought at the moment was to throw away the burden in her hands as soon as possible - the little girl, whom she had carried all the way back from the community garden. God knows why a child weighing dozens of kilograms could be so heavy.

Her first thought was to put the little girl on the sofa, but when she stood beside the sofa, looked at the white sofa as new, and then looked at the little girl who looked like a little clay cat, she hesitated and could only ask Lin Mengmeng for help: "Mengmeng, please help me get the pajamas on the chair in the room, thank you."

Lin Mengmeng moved from the sofa to Gu Ting's room, but her head remained fixed on the TV. Late at night, Gu Ting couldn't help but think of a thriller: "Mengmeng, have you seen The Exorcist?"

Lin Mengmeng mechanically handed her the pajamas, her eyes still fixed on the TV screen for even a second. After a while, she replied with one word: "No..."

Gu Ting placed the little girl on top of his pajamas, casually covering her belly and legs with the other half, then moved over to sit with Lin Mengmeng. "What is this? Does it look good?"

Lin Mengmeng spoke haltingly, as if she had been drinking too much. "A variety show...it's good...let's watch it together?"

While she was talking, Gu Ting had already fallen into it and soon became absorbed in it, joining Lin Mengmeng. They sat together on the sofa, their eyes glued to the TV like taffy, not blinking for a long time, and only the occasional movement of picking up snacks proved that they were not asleep.

In addition to working and attending classes during her college years, Gu Ting also loved watching variety shows to relax in her spare time. During the year she traveled through time, she missed a lot of good programs and took the opportunity to catch up.

The little girl got up from the sofa, and the first thing she saw was Gu Ting and the other person who were watching the show intently. She was curious about what show the two of them were watching so intently, so she followed their gaze and saw... a group of people harvesting rice. Several of them were arguing for a long time, their faces red, over a harvester.

Little girl: “…” What’s so good about this show?

However, the two people in the same room at this time were older sisters, beautiful older sisters, and beautiful older sisters who were obsessed with farming programs. They didn't look like bad people, so she gradually put her mind at ease.

So she deliberately made a noise and got down from the sofa. After waiting for five seconds, the two people on the sofa didn't even move their eyes.

Little girl: “…”

The little girl walked over bravely and said, "Are you the ones who brought me back home? Thank you."

Gu Ting, possessed by the sloth, took a long time to reply, "You're welcome."

Lin Mengmeng was distracted for a moment and asked Gu Ting: "Where did the child come from?"

Gu Ting looked ahead and said, "I found it in the bushes of the community."

Lin Mengmeng: “Oh.”

Then the two of them posed and continued to watch TV with relish.

Feeling like air, the little girl took a deep breath and encouraged herself: "Sister, I'm so hungry..."

Lin Mengmeng pointed to the kitchen and said, "Instant noodles, as much as you want."

The little girl stared with her eyes wide open in disbelief: "Sister, I'm only seven years old."

Three seconds passed, and Gu Ting said, "Eggs, whatever you like."

Little girl: “!!!”

She still didn't give up: "Sister, I want to take a bath."

Gu Ting raised his hand and slowly pointed in a direction: "Bathroom, wash as you like."

The air fell into silence. After a few seconds, the little girl said with resentment in her eyes, "Sister, I have no clothes to wear."

Gu Ting just said, "Find it yourself, wear whatever you want."

The little girl's feeling of brokenness at this moment was tangible.

She encouraged herself in her heart: I must be strong, I can't cry, I must be strong...

But the little girl was so young that she couldn't help herself. She pouted her mouth and burst into tears with all her might.

"But I'm a child, and the adults' clothes are too big for me. I'm also very hungry, and I can't lift the kettle. What should I do? Wuuwuwu..."

With such a shocking movement, Gu Ting and Lin Mengmeng could no longer ignore the other person and could only look away with great difficulty. One of them reluctantly went to the kitchen to make instant noodles, while the other lingered in the room to find clothes that the child could wear.

After they finished their tasks, they gathered together and whispered, "She's already a mature child. Shouldn't she make her own noodles, find her own clothes, and take a bath by herself?"

Gu Ting agreed very much: "Yes, it seems that next time I have to evaluate before picking someone up."

The little girl who heard it clearly said: Who on earth did she meet?!

However, after wandering outside for a few days, the little girl finally understood what it meant to bow her head under someone's roof. She could only wash her hands, sit on the chair reluctantly, and then use a plastic fork to eat the "junk food" that she had never touched in her life.

After taking a bite, the little girl's expression changed from being aggrieved and reluctant to her eyes suddenly lighting up. Her chewing speed increased significantly and she ate for a long time without looking up.

Gu Ting and Lin Mengmeng couldn't go back to the sofa to watch TV, so they had to chat on the side.

Gu Ting: "I'm addicted to TV. Do you have the property management's phone number? Hand the person over to them and we can continue watching."

Lin Mengmeng: "All night, want to meet? I don't have a phone number."

"We have a dance tomorrow, so let's make it tomorrow night. Then why don't you ask the landlord for it?"

"Sure. Landlord...you should be fast asleep by this time. Your kids are studying for exams. It wouldn't be nice to disturb them so late at night, right?"

Gu Ting shrugged: "Then we can only call the police."

As if triggered by a key word, the little girl immediately put down her instant noodles and said excitedly: "I won't go to the police station! I won't go even if I die!"

Seeing that she was finally willing to put down her instant noodles, Gu Ting asked her, "What's your name? Are your parents from our neighborhood? Do you remember their phone number?"

The little girl twisted her neck, leaving only the back of her head. "My dad is a bad man, I don't want to go back!"

Gu Ting and Lin Mengmeng exchanged a glance and laughed. "You didn't call the police, and you don't want to contact your family. Hey, it seems you've taken to wandering. I heard that a child was recently captured by bad guys and their kidneys were removed?"

Lin Mengmeng understood: "Not only that, the kidneys, heart, corneas, blood... so fresh and tender, they are all good things!"

The little girl's eyes gradually became filled with aggrieved fear, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted: "My dad is not good to me, I don't want to go back! Sisters, if you guys go find the police, I'll leave now!" As she said that, she jumped off the chair and was about to go to the door.

Gu Ting began to worry. Why did he bring back such a little troublemaker?

What can I do about the good things I did in the heat of the moment? I can only continue doing it with tears in my eyes.

She grabbed the little girl and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Hurry up and finish eating, wash up and go to bed. I can't stand it any longer."

Gu Ting and Lin Mengmeng worked together to help the little girl take a bath and blow dry her hair, and finally washed and settled her down. They found that as long as they didn't mention looking for her father or calling the police, the little girl would cooperate. The two took this opportunity to learn some information about the little girl.

The little girl's name is Pan Ruoling. She is seven years old. Her mother has passed away. It is suspected that her father is preparing to remarry and his mind is on his stepmother. He doesn't care about her and only gives her to a relative to take care of her. The relative treats her badly, so she found an opportunity to escape from home.

Although it was just a few sentences, the little girl's life experience could be described as miserable.

Gu Ting sympathized for a while, but eventually she couldn't help but feel sympathy for herself. At least she still had a father, but she didn't even know whether her parents were good or bad. When it came to comparing misery, Gu Ting almost never lost.

After confirming that Pan Ruoling was asleep, Gu Ting took out her cell phone and dialed 110, telling them all the information she had just obtained about Pan Ruoling. She then asked the police to come early tomorrow morning as she had to go to work.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mengmeng was amazed and asked, "Do you still have any integrity?"

Gu Ting pinched two fingers and gestured: "Yes, but not much."

Lin Mengmeng: "I can't compare to you."

Gu Ting tried to save face: "Character? Or a father's worried heart? What I mean is, sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self."

Lin Mengmeng clapped her hands: "Even if Buddha passed by, he would applaud you."

After all the hard work, Gu Ting and Lin Mengmeng were tired. They agreed to continue tomorrow night and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Gu Ting adjusted his sleeping position, preparing to change tonight's dream program "After Getting Rich Overnight..." to "The Years When Long Aotian Dominated the World of Cultivation". Just as he was falling asleep, his cell phone kept ringing.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar call, Gu Ting answered it angrily and angrily cursed, "It's late at night, and you're summoning a spirit?"

Seeing the silence from the other side, Gu Ting became even more angry: "God..."

"I'm Chang..."

Gu Ting's tongue was almost tied, and he barely took back the last two words, "...What a mysterious fate, I was just about to contact you, Emperor Chang!" It must be a dream.

Who would understand? She actually forgot about a 1.2 million business deal and almost missed it. From this, it is obvious who the true noble people who regard money as dirt are, right?

Emperor Chang was silent for a second. "Hook up the platform. Send me the link when you're done."

"immediately."

"Hang up the other three weapons. My friend collected them as well."

Gu Ting hadn't expected that there was a pleasant surprise waiting for her. She couldn't help but ask, "Sure. What's the price?"

"Three for two million." Chang Huang said it lightly, as if it was not two million, but 200 yuan.

Gu Ting's eyes widened as he listened, wondering if he was dreaming. "This...does your friend want to bargain a little more? This price is really a little too high."

Chang Huang answered concisely and clearly: "My friend doesn't want the one that's not the most expensive. You can think about it yourself." Then he hung up the phone.

Gu Ting was disheveled in the wind: Listen to what he said. He doesn’t even look down on anything that is not the most expensive, as if lowering the price is an insult to his personality?

It turns out that rich people also have worries. Their worry is that they have too much money and they can’t spend it all without racking their brains!

As a former member of the Young Pioneers, Gu Ting remembered the Five Lectures and Four Beauties in his heart. Of course, he would respect the other party's habits and enthusiastically help the other party fulfill his wish to spend money. He logged into his account without delay and put the five weapons on the platform.

Three minutes later, all five weapons were sold out and 3.2 million was received.

Gu Ting, who had been drowsy for a long time, felt a little annoyed for the first time. Not only did the God of Wealth buff take effect during the day, but it also continued to operate late at night. This couldn't help but give her a headache. After all, who doesn't want to have a good sleep at night?

Gu Ting couldn't help but start thinking that she should spend money to buy some things. As long as she didn't have enough cash on her, she would not be so bored when she got the money in the evening.

That night, Gu Ting's dream was not "After Getting Rich Overnight...", nor "The Years When Long Aotian Dominated the Cultivation World", but "The Tyrannical Money Fell in Love with Me", "She Escapes, Money Chases, She Can't Escape Even if She Has Wings"...

A few hours after Gu Ting fell asleep, the doorbell rang. Gu Ting yawned and went to open the door. Two policemen were standing outside.

"It's you again, Miss Gu? What a coincidence."
