Chapter 80, 1 minute difference. The room was bright, and the flowers were blooming beautifully... You...
Jiang Xiliu suspected that Shen Yu had realized she was going to kick him out again.
He was watching Jiang Xiliu every moment, and even took over the restaurant waiter's job, serving tea, water, and food with extreme enthusiasm.
Jiang Xiliu accepted Shen Yu's attentiveness as if she were watching a play, but in reality, she barely touched the food.
After the violinist left, the entire restaurant became completely quiet.
When Shen Yu was young, he didn't know how to be patient and often had friction with Jiang Xiliu because he was too serious. But now he has learned to play dumb.
Thinking too clearly about some things is not a good thing.
He didn't bring up what had just happened, but instead asked, "Is this restaurant not to your liking?"
"When did Jin Zhao go to your place?" Jiang Xiliu idly twirled her ring, not answering Shen Yu's question.
Shen Yu picked up a damp towel and wiped his hands clean: "How would I know about such things? He's just a junior employee."
Jiang Xiliu looked up, and the two looked at each other. She smiled and said, "Don't think I don't know. You've been sending people to follow him all along."
Shen Yu remained silent for a few seconds. The person he sent to follow was not Jin Zhao.
But the truth would probably make Jiang Xiliu even more unhappy.
"I can't remember." Shen Yu avoided the main point. "It seems that someone reported it to me, but apart from the fact that he was with you, there is nothing about him that I should pay special attention to."
He tensed his back and interlaced his fingers: "Besides, you've been divorced for so long."
"Is it a long time?" Jiang Xiliu pretended to be deep in thought. "Is it alright? Not as long as it has been since we were separated."
Shen Yu pressed his lips down, his tone a mixture of helplessness and indulgence as he spoke: "Xi Liu, do you really have to say such unlucky things on the very first day we get back together?"
Jiang Xiliu nodded, her gaze sweeping over his face, and admitted, "Yes, that's all I wanted to say."
She rested her chin on her hand: "Because I want to break up with you again."
“This isn’t funny.” Shen Yu tried to reach her hand.
Jiang Xiliu felt completely bewildered. She leaned back in her chair and frowned slightly: "Where did you get the idea that I was joking? I'm serious."
She thought for a moment, her eyes full of seriousness: "I'm not satisfied with what you did today, so I'm not happy to be with you anymore."
“Moreover,” Jiang Xiliu said, “you should have heard about the news I released to the public before.”
"Anyone who takes on Jin Zhao is going against me. Since you already knew he was in your company, what do you mean by that? Are you provoking me?"
Shen Yu didn't think he had done anything wrong today.
He had taken two punches from Jin Zhao for no reason because of Jiang Xiliu, and then easily let Jin Zhao leave, while trying to please Jiang Xiliu the whole way.
As for bringing Jin Zhao in before... he admitted that he was wrong to do so.
"Is it because you saw Jin Zhao that you want to break up with me?" Shen Yu felt that this was the truth.
He couldn't understand what was so good about Jin Zhao. Back then, he was able to coax Jiang Xiliu into marrying him, but now, after just one meeting, he could shake Jiang Xiliu's resolve again.
Jiang Xiliu straightened her lips and her face turned cold: "Shen Yu. Why do you like to shirk responsibility more and more as you get older? This is not how you do business, Mr. Shen."
She regretted getting back together with him. If other people knew, wouldn't they laugh at her to death?
"I've made myself very clear; it's what you did today that I'm not satisfied with."
"Even if it wasn't Jin Zhao who walked in today, but just any ordinary employee, I would still break up with you, understand?"
"If it's not because of Jin Zhao, then who is it because of?" Shen Yu asked, puzzled. "Ye Qishan? Shen Xiu? Or the youngest son of the Lu family who just returned from abroad? Or—"
Jiang Xiliu stood up.
The restaurant was booked out by Shen Yu, and all the waiters had already left when the two of them stopped eating and started talking.
Jiang Xiliu didn't want to waste any more time with Shen Yu. Not only were his words unpleasant to hear, but they were also completely incomprehensible: "I'm going home."
Shen Yu swallowed the rest of his words. He quickly composed himself and pretended that nothing had happened, wanting to go back with Jiang Xiliu.
Jiang Xiliu glanced at him: "We've broken up, don't follow me, get lost."
Shen Yu pretended not to hear: "I promised to bring a gift for the baby."
Jiang Xiliu:?
He's still just a little kid who drools all day long; it's hard to say whether he can even remember what nonsense Shen Yu is spouting.
She reached out her hand and said directly, "Give me the gift, I'll take it back to her."
Shen Yu looked at her and sighed softly, "Xi Liu, does it have to be like this? If you're angry or dissatisfied, take it out on me. Don't keep saying 'break up' all the time. Every time I heard you say that before, I felt very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep all night."
Playing the victim is the least effective tactic against Jiang Xiliu; she has seen far more pitiful people than this.
Jiang Xiliu said with a smile, "How can I not trap you to death? Remember to write a will before you die. As the victim who was angered by you, I really need compensation."
After saying that, Jiang Xiliu slammed the car door shut and instructed the driver, "Drive, go home."
Jiang Xiliu was in the car, and the messages on her phone were mostly red dots.
As Shen Yu said, the men around her were mostly men who wanted to climb the social ladder, but most of them were only suitable as entertainment.
Jiang Xiliu will not get married again.
Everything she owns now belongs to her, and will belong to her daughter in the future; she will not allow anyone to interfere.
[System 0777 returned at this moment: Young Miss! I've found out how other experienced systems draw out the world's consciousness!]
Jiang Xiliu traded the useless ring that could only reverse time for one minute with System 0777. System 0777 had done a lot of work during this time, so Jiang Xiliu's attitude towards this artificial intelligence was a little better now.
They even promised it that it would actively complete tasks.
She had long since put Shen Yu out of her mind. He was just a man; if she got angry and hurt herself, she would be the one who suffered. At worst, she would just stop playing with him next time.
How do we attract it?
When the method was mentioned, System 0777 suddenly started to stammer.
Jiang Xiliu said impatiently, "Speak quickly."
[System 0777 whispers: You need to reach 100% favorability with the chosen one of destiny. It doesn't matter who you reach that level with, but in this small world, the chosen ones of destiny are only Jin Zhao and Yi Sile.]
[System 0777 directly relayed the experiences of other systems: They said that when the favorability rating of the Chosen One reaches its peak, the small world will generate energy fluctuations, and the world consciousness, which feeds on this, will appear at this time. As soon as it appears, it will be automatically captured by the system and transmitted to the main system.]
[System 0777 seemed quite proud: The main system has plenty of power and means to make them explain themselves what they did and what trouble they caused.]
Jiang Xiliu paused, then asked, "Oh, so you can detect the favorability ratings of Sile and Jinzhao now? For everyone?"
That's impossible; a stingy main system wouldn't grant system 0777 such extensive permissions.
[System 0777: ...It can only detect the affection level of the person they currently like the most, and that's limited to romantic love. Family affection, friendship, and other miscellaneous feelings don't count.]
Jin Zhao and Yi Sile have no relatives or close friends in this world.
Jiang Xiliu asked casually, "Does Yi Sile have someone she likes?"
In the past few years, Yisil has been living abroad and has undergone a complete transformation.
Jiang Xiliu would visit her every time he went there on a business trip. If nothing unexpected happens, Yi Sile will return to China next year and work under Jiang Xiliu.
If the young woman falls in love abroad...
Jiang Xiliu hadn't thought about this before, but now she realized that it was indeed a possibility.
However, every time Jiang Xiliu met and communicated with Yi Sile, she could sense that Yi Sile was measured and had a clear goal.
She didn't think Yisile would stay abroad for love, and believed that Yisile knew what was going on.
[System 0777 shakes its head: No, it seems Yisile hasn't quite figured it out yet; her affection level is currently blank.]
Jiang Xiliu stopped asking at this point, but System 0777 couldn't hold back its words.
[System 0777: Miss, what do you think?]
“What do you mean, what do I think?” Jiang Xiliu said. “I haven’t thought about anything, and I don’t even want to do this mission.”
[System 0777, ignoring the last sentence, continued: There's still one chosen one.]
Jiang Xiliu replied calmly, "Mm."
[System 0777 says cautiously: Only 1 short.]
Jiang Xiliu's fingers paused for a second: "I know about this. When Sile returns to China next year, I will introduce her to a group of men who are most suitable for her."
This means that they are no longer considering completing the task through Jin Zhao, even though they are only a little short and could easily succeed.
System 0777 was dejected. It couldn't understand the young lady's heart and just felt that humans were very complicated.
Its previous hosts all had something to ask of it, but this was the first time it had encountered a young lady who had everything and could refuse to cooperate at any time.
You can only coax and appease them; threats and bribes are completely useless.
Jiang Xiliu now lives in the old house. Since she secured her position, there's not much for her to worry about at the company.
Except for very important banquets and occasions, Jiang Xiliu rarely appears at banquets and events in the entertainment industry.
Close friends do get together occasionally, but since everyone travels around so often, it's not often that we can all get together.
As the car turned the corner, a slender man stood at the grand entrance of the Jiang family's mansion.
Jiang Xiliu closed her eyes to rest in the back seat. Just before the driver slowed down and prepared to enter the door, he hesitated and said, "Miss, Mr. Jin, it seems like Mr. Jin is standing at the door. Should we drive over?"
Jiang Xiliu opened her eyes and, sure enough, saw someone standing not far away.
The security captain was beside him, and it was unclear whether he was advising him to leave or saying something else.
"Drive over there." Jiang Xiliu rolled down the car window.
Shen Yu said something quite right a few hours ago.
Jin Zhao has a face, a face that no one can replace.
Even after experiencing depression and an extremely difficult life, fate still couldn't bear to harm his face.
As time went by, this face left no trace; instead, it became even more outstanding.
Jiang Xiliu suddenly remembered something.
Jin Zhao brought her a meal once, and then a paparazzi from who-knows-where took some photos of her.
The photos were discovered and removed by Jiang's public relations department shortly after being uploaded online.
That same day, Lihe Entertainment's youngest son even approached her about it.
However, Jiang Xiliu refused.
Even if her things are lost, they can only ever be hers.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Xiliu asked from inside the car, her gaze sweeping over the bag lying at Jin Zhao's feet. "Looking for me?"
Jin Zhao nodded.
Jiang Xiliu asked him, "What is it? Tell me here."
There were drivers and security personnel around, and many people, but Jin Zhao didn't care.
He considered his words, then slowly lowered his eyes: "The room is very bright, and the flowers are blooming beautifully... Would you like to go and take a look?"
