Chapter 12 Tossing and Turning



He wouldn't take over the company, so my dad wanted to train me, but I wasn't cut out for it at all. For three years, I was stuck at the company, but I accomplished nothing, so I ran away.

At the time, Xingyao was hiring, so I applied and became your assistant.

She was really angry about this. She was tormented for three years, while her brother got to live a carefree life for another three years, no, three and a half years. That guy is still out there having a good time!

No, she has to squeeze another sum out of her brother, otherwise she'll be too angry to sleep tonight.

Li Ruan: ...Doesn't this mean that if I don't become an assistant, I have to inherit the family business?

A message was sent: Bro, send me the money right now, you're driving me crazy! You can't appease me with just a little money!

Xiao Yuan's phone rang quickly: Didn't I just transfer money to you the day before yesterday? It's all gone again?

Xiao Yuan sent out a message in an unreasonable manner: It's none of my business whether I've spent all my money or not, I'm asking you to transfer money to appease me!

The other party didn't send any more messages, and then Xiaoyuan received a bank card deposit notification.

She deliberately waved her phone in front of Li Ruan: "Sister Ruan, look, my brother sent me money. I'll transfer it all to you. It should be enough for the medicine, right?"

Li Ruan has excellent eyesight, so she read the contents clearly. It turns out that all she has to do to get money from her brother is say that she is angry. Li Ruan is deeply envious!

Please give her a whole stack of these amazing brothers!

If each of her brothers transfers money to her twice, she'll become a billionaire in no time!

Li Ruan looked at Xiao Yuan: "How much money do you have?"

Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously: "My family's company is quite profitable. I receive a lot of dividends every year, but I don't have many places to spend the money, so I've really saved a lot."

Li Ruan was furious. She regretted pretending to be generous. She reached out and pushed Xiao Yuan's face away. "I said I wouldn't take your money, and I won't."

Alas, jealousy has distorted me beyond recognition; what a sin!

Xiao Yuan seemed to understand something, and an annoyed look appeared on her face. She really didn't want to show off her wealth. She just didn't want Ruan Jie to suffer a loss.

However, Sister Ruan is really kind; she actually gave her something and didn't ask for any money.

She got up, poured herself a glass of water, opened the medicine bottle, took out a pill, and swallowed it.

She's going to the gym to work out right now. Even if the medicine that Sister Ruan gave her doesn't work, she's determined to lose weight!

Li Ruan was unaware of Xiao Yuan's thoughts, and went to the performance room for her lesson when the time came.

One person, who was staring at their phone, got furious when they realized it was already noon and they hadn't received a single "good morning" message!

"He Cheng, take care of things here this afternoon, and head back to Longcheng tonight."

He Cheng wiped his sweat. "Okay, President, I'll book the tickets right away."

Good heavens, I can finally go back. I really don't want to serve this unsatisfied CEO anymore.

...

After dinner, Li Ruan sat down at her desk and turned on her computer. With her current status, it was too difficult for her to make money, so she had no choice but to return to her old ways.

She logged into a hacker website with her old account. The moment she logged on, she was bombarded with messages. She opened the message bar and saw that they were all from the same few people on the leaderboard.

I opened one of the dialog boxes and typed only four words: I'm back.

Next, you'll witness the hacker's terrifying typing speed. Message beeps rang out rapidly, one after another, and Li Ruan, with a smile on her face, carefully read them one by one.

Jack of Spades: Sister LE, you're really willing to come back?

Jack of Spades: Sister LE, where have you been for the past three years?

Jack of Spades: Sister LE, do you still remember what you promised me back then? You said we could meet in person, but you disappeared for three years. Now it's time to keep your promise, right?

Jack of Spades: Yes, they're all waiting for you too.

Li Ruan thought to herself that they really hadn't forgotten her; Ye and Spider had already sent her a string of messages.

LE: Not for now, I'm busy earning extra money.

Jack of Spades: Are you short of money?

He couldn't understand why Sister LE, who is still ranked at the top of the hacker list, would be short of money.

That makes sense, though. Since LE rose to fame four years ago after her battle with the world's number one hacker, she hasn't appeared on the internet again. She might actually be short of money!

LE: I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to check the task list. I'll contact you when I have time.

The hacker alliance's task list has many tasks, but not all of them are suitable for Li Ruan. She would never touch tasks involving murder or other illegal activities. After browsing for a while, she finally found a suitable one.

Reconstruct a section of surveillance video from the corridor.

This task has been posted for a while now, and the price has been raised three times, with the reward increasing from 1 million to 5 million. It seems that this surveillance footage has been completely deleted!

Pear Soft loves challenging work, this is it!

After working until 11 p.m., she finally finished a deal. Seeing the text message confirming the funds had been deposited into her account, Li Ruan immediately washed up and went to bed.

She had just lain down when she heard the door open again. Someone entered her bedroom, and soon a man's slightly cool body pressed against her.

Li Ruan raised her foot to kick again, but the other party was prepared and grabbed her fair little foot. Then, he pulled her to the bedside and pressed his whole body against her.

The woman cried out in alarm, then struggled violently, "Let go, let me go!"

"You dare kick me? You need to be taught a lesson!"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Ruan stopped struggling. Xi Leng thought she had given in, so he lowered his head to kiss her, only to find her body was cold to the touch.

He touched it with his hand, and the next second, he turned on the bedside lamp. Sure enough, Li Ruan was silently shedding tears.

Xi Leng felt his heart clench, and his voice was hoarse, "What's wrong?"

Pear-like soft eyelashes trembled, but she didn't speak.

Xi Leng subconsciously loosened his grip on her. "Why aren't you saying anything? Did I hurt you?"

Li Ruan shook her head, "I... I thought you hated me."

Xi Leng: ... "How did you figure that out?"

"I sent you WeChat messages, but you didn't reply to a single one. What else could it be but dislike?"

Xi Leng: ...I originally wanted to keep my distance from her and stay away from her for at least half a month. But because I couldn't receive her WeChat messages, I rushed back after only a few days. And she even cried for me because of this!

The CEO, who was never good at comforting people, finally said curtly, "Don't cry."

Li Ruan said, feeling wronged, "Then tell me, do you still dare not reply to my messages?"

Xi Leng: "..."

She sighed. How could there be such a tormenting woman in the world? Are all the canaries kept by other people like this?

I really admire Fu Jingnian for being able to juggle several women at the same time and still enjoy it. He has more than enough with just this one.

"I'll definitely come back next time." He didn't want to see her cry again.

Li Ruan immediately looked up. Her beautiful eyes, still filled with tears, showed no trace of sadness, only smugness!

Xi Leng: ...So she was faking crying just now? But she looks beautiful even when she cries!
