He frowned in displeasure and casually moved his phone further away.
"Jiangcheng! Where are you, you little rascal!"
Li Mengkun spoke up on the other end of the phone, his words brimming with roguish charm: "Hahaha! That woman in black stockings called me last night, saying she wants us to go out for a couple more drinks, and after we're done, I'll take care of her! Hahahaha..."
"Tsk."
Jiang Cheng silently clicked his tongue, his irritation rising to his eyebrows.
Hearing that Jiang Cheng didn't respond, Li Mengkun slurred, "Hey? Are you even listening to me? Ugh... alright! I know what you're thinking! I'll call two more girls for you tonight, you definitely won't have to watch me eat meat!"
"I have something to do tonight, so I won't go."
Jiang Cheng wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but worried that his behavior was too abnormal and would cause the dream world to collapse, so he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart and say in a hoarse voice to the "friend" on the other end of the phone: "You play by yourself."
"That won't do!!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Cheng wasn't coming, Li Menghu immediately became anxious: "No way, that's so unfair! I went through so much trouble to get this girl for you, and you just say you're not coming?"
"I have something to do, maybe next time."
Without giving Li Menghu a chance to pester him, Jiang Cheng hung up the phone directly.
He stared at the now-darkened phone screen with a sinister look in his eyes, his fingers gripping tightly on either side.
This phone call made Jiang Cheng realize exactly what a bastard he was in this dream world.
"call……"
He sighed deeply and turned his gaze into the distance.
He really hadn't expected this development.
Jiang Cheng wandered around the neighborhood without paying any special attention to anything. After taking a few simple photos, he looked down and took out his phone again.
Jiang Cheng first sent the photo to Zhao Xuerou. Then, seeing the message "The other party is typing..." displayed at the top of the chat box, he inexplicably typed another message and sent it over.
"I'm not going out drinking tonight."
After sending the message, he felt his tone was a bit harsh, so he added another one.
"I'll go check out the houses first, and if they're suitable, I'll make a decision."
Not long after, a reply with a cute emoji was sent to Jiang Cheng's phone.
Okay! Thank you for your hard work, honey. I'll cook you something delicious when I get home tonight! Love you, love you~ (heart emoji)
However, Jiang Cheng had already boarded an electric sightseeing vehicle at the saleswoman's urging and did not see the news immediately.
He sat in the back row, paying no attention to the furnishings of the community, but instead lost in deep thought.
Based on all the information he received today, the developments in the dream world have completely exceeded his expectations.
In reality, Luo Xiaoli doesn't seem to exist; all of his life revolves around him and Zhao Xuerou.
This morning, while scanning photos at home, he happened to find a long-forgotten photo album. Most of the photos inside were taken by Zhao Xuerou, and there were very few pictures of the two of them together. Jiang Cheng also found the few that were there.
At the beginning of their university years, the two of them smiled happily in their photos, their eyes full of love, and there was a lot of close contact, with kissing and hugging being commonplace.
Jiang Cheng roughly understood that he must have pursued Zhao Xuerou during college and successfully got together with her.
As they gradually settled into their work, the light in their eyes diminished in their photos. Jiang Cheng stopped smiling, and Zhao Xuerou's expression became tense and cautious, as if she was constantly looking out for Jiang Cheng's feelings.
Why is this happening...?
He also found their marriage certificate. They got it shortly after graduating from university, which should have been around the time they started working in the same city.
Therefore, everything became more and more invented.
After marriage, instead of fulfilling his wedding vows of "loving her for life, whether in good times or bad, in riches or poverty," he burdened her with all the trivialities and disappointments of life.
Therefore, Zhao Xuerou's injuries must have originated from him.
No wonder Zhao Xuerou deliberately kept such a distance from him when he woke up drunk that night, and took good care of him all night.
Domestic violence committed while intoxicated is the most despicable proof of a man's character.
After figuring these things out, Jiang Cheng felt even more uneasy.
Why is he such a filthy, despicable, and low-class guy in this dream world?
And why was it that Zhao Xuerou was willing to stay by his side for life, even though he had become utterly corrupt? She was still willing to stay with him, even if it meant spending all her savings to buy them a new house?
At the same time, the saleswoman led him to a small white villa.
With a polite smile, she pointed behind her and introduced the house to Jiang Cheng: "Mr. Jiang, this is the type of house you've been looking at. Unlike the high-rise buildings in Zone C, this house may not have an elevator, but it has excellent natural light and is very quiet."
"Hmm, let me see."
As Jiang Cheng came to his senses, he raised his head somewhat unsteadily.
The first thing that catches the eye is a small white villa, its European design giving the entire complex a very elegant feel. The newly painted walls are spotless, even shimmering in the sunlight.
Walking into the courtyard, Jiang Cheng immediately saw the little angel fountain in the center. The fountain was not yet running, and it stood quietly among the lush bushes, exuding the smell of plaster. The surrounding bushes were all newly planted, radiating boundless life.
