However, Wen Xi wasn't addicted to her phone. After studying it for a while, she lost interest and opened the chat app, where she saw Qin Mi, Qin Xin, and the woman who had been betrayed by her husband.
After thinking it over, she decided not to send them a message to bother them. There would be no chance to meet again in the future, and they were from different worlds. They were just passersby to her, and she was just a passerby to them. Why bother them?
Isn't this just adding to the sadness?
So Wenxi put down her phone and left the system kitchen.
She has sold quite a few goods in several black markets here, but she will stop selling for the time being. After all, a large influx of goods into the market at once will definitely arouse suspicion. If she were to sell more goods, wouldn't that be like handing herself over to someone else?
Two days later, Wen Xi went to see Lin Xiaorou that evening. "How did it go? Did you successfully win over Yang Lianghui?"
"I got it that very night," Lin Xiaorou said proudly. Other things might be difficult for her, but this was something she could easily accomplish.
She can crack even the toughest bones, and it's even easier for someone like Yang Lianghui who already has ulterior motives; a few words are all it takes to make him surrender.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable!" Wen Xi pushed the envelope over. "This is the remaining three hundred yuan. If you can get his wife to know that he has a new lover outside, I'll give you another three hundred yuan."
How could they have a fight if Wenrou didn't know?
And soon it will be time for Wenrou to scheme against her. She will also have to let Wenrou know whether it is worth it for her to betray her sister to help the man.
“Doing this is dangerous for me,” Lin Xiaorou said hesitantly.
Although she wasn't exactly a respectable person, she still had professional ethics. She had never been involved with a married man; Yang Lianghui was the first. What if his wife found out and reported her?
Wenxi handed him the perfume and saliva. "Spray the perfume on him and leave a lipstick mark on his neck. Just leave some marks on him so his wife will suspect him. You don't need to expose yourself."
"Okay." Lin Xiaorou readily agreed.
Eight hundred yuan! That's several years' income for an average person. And Yang Lianghui would give her money and buy her things to make her happy. This treatment was much better than before.
"I'll come back to see you in a few days. I hope you'll have good news soon." Wen Xi left her things behind and departed.
Although she misses her family very much, Wenxi is not in a hurry to go home. Yang Lianghui's position as the leader is vacant, and Yang Lianghui must really want to take it. Then Wenrou will do his best for him. She might already be thinking about how to trick her back. So before Wenrou discovers that Yang Lianghui has ulterior motives, she can't let Wenrou know that she is back, otherwise Wenrou will definitely come up with new tricks.
Let Wenrou think she's in the countryside and knows nothing.
On the day to pick up the photos, Wenxi and her two friends got up at around 2 a.m., got ready, and headed to Tiananmen Square. They first watched the flag-raising ceremony, then had breakfast at a state-run restaurant, and then went to the photographer to pick up the photos.

It was evening, inside a tent at a construction site in a mountainous area.
Pei Jingzhou sat in front of the kerosene lamp reading the letter his eldest sister had sent. Upon learning that there was still no news of Wenxi, he slammed his fist on the table in anger.
He couldn't believe that the delicate little girl he had raised from childhood would elope with a boy. He felt that the girl he had educated would never do such a thing.
If he had known he would never see Wenxi again after leaving, he would never have left. How could it be such a coincidence? He had just stepped onto the train when Wenxi ran away.
He had already told Wenxi that he would write to her with his new address after he arrived at the new place and settled in, but he never expected that he would be unable to contact her again.
His older sister always said she would send people to look for him and that he shouldn't worry. She would send him a telegram as soon as she had any news or opportunities. But it had been almost a year and there was still no news. He didn't know if his family was even looking for Wenxi properly. How could a living person just vanish into thin air like that?
He had just arrived here last year and couldn't go home for the Spring Festival. This year, he was determined to go home for the Spring Festival no matter what. If he wasn't allowed to go home, then he would just be a deserter. Nothing was more important than Wenxi.
"Jingzhou, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?" His roommate, who shared a tent with him, asked with concern.
"It's nothing," Pei Jingzhou replied, lit the letter on the kerosene lamp, and then got up and left.
In her letters, the eldest sister wrote that Wenxi had eloped with some young lad. If others saw the letters, they would only misunderstand Wenxi. He knew what kind of person Wenxi was; she would never do such a thing. Moreover, with her second brother like him around, Wenxi wouldn't easily fall for those young lads.
After all, he had spoiled Wenxi rotten since she was a child. If other men hadn't done the same for her, would Wenxi have been moved?
The reason he treats Wenxi so well is that he doesn't want her to grow up to be easily tricked into coming home by other men. His sister deserves the best man.
Outside the tent, it was pitch black, but the starry sky above was exceptionally bright. Pei Jingzhou looked up at the sky full of stars and couldn't help but think, 'Xiaoxi, where are you? Do you know how worried your family is about you?'
"Pei Jingzhou!" A voice suddenly called out.
Pei Jingzhou tossed away the last corner of the remaining letter in his hand before looking up at the girl standing in front of him. The girl was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with two braids hanging over her shoulders, and looked very simple and honest.
"What is it?" Pei Jingzhou looked at her coldly, his tone also somewhat icy.
This girl often comes to see Pei Jingzhou without saying what she wants. Pei Jingzhou doesn't know what she means, but if a man and a woman are too close, it will affect their reputations, and people will force them to be together.
However, Pei Jingzhou did not want to find a partner outside, especially not from another place, because the two families lived far apart, and in this era of inconvenient transportation, there would be endless trouble in the future.
He is quite rational in this regard, and he also has his own principles.
The girl felt a chill run down her neck. She shrank back, then mustered her courage and asked, "Pei Jingzhou, are you spending Chinese New Year on the construction site this year?"
"I don't need to tell you about my affairs, do I?" Pei Jingzhou said coldly, then turned and went into the tent, locking the door behind him.
She came to see a gay man late at night. She didn't care about her reputation, but he did. He didn't want to be forced to marry someone he didn't like.
Watching Pei Jingzhou's resolute retreating figure, the girl clenched her fists tightly. 'Pei Jingzhou, I didn't want to do this, but since you're going to refuse to listen to reason, don't blame me for being impolite.'
