Upon meeting Gu Qingqing, Shen Lang quickly learned about her activities during this period through the system's transaction records.
However, he did not offer any comment, but rather expressed his satisfaction.
Although Gu Qingqing's actions of ruthlessly exterminating Lin Chen's entire family were extremely cruel, Shen Lang saw it as exactly what he needed.
With Gu Qingqing by his side, he could entrust some shady deals to her, which would minimize the psychological pressure from the transactions and allow him to maintain a clear mind at all times.
After the Lin Chen incident, Gu Qingqing has undergone a complete transformation, both psychologically and physically, and is now capable of standing on her own.
Although his methods were somewhat extreme, Shen Lang didn't see them as a big problem, as long as he didn't turn the knife on his own people.
After lunch, Shen Lang and Gu Qingqing went to the bathroom. Under Shen Lang's watchful eye, Gu Qingqing swallowed the Divine Marrow Cleansing Pill and began to cleanse her marrow.
To Shen Lang's surprise, Gu Qingqing's perseverance was incredibly strong, even surpassing his own when he underwent the marrow cleansing process.
Although he survived the four stages of transformation after taking the Divine Marrow Cleansing Pill, he was unconscious for an entire night.
When Qin Shiya took the Divine Marrow Cleansing Pill, she only lasted until the middle of the third stage before collapsing from the unbearable pain.
Although Qiuye and Dongxue persevered through all four trials, one was unconscious for three days and three nights, and the other for two days and two nights.
Chuncao and Xiayang only managed to finish the third level before they fainted before the fourth level even began.
Gu Qingqing, however, with her mortal body, managed to complete all four trials. After completing the marrow cleansing, she did not faint; she was simply exhausted and temporarily unable to move.
Shen Lang personally washed the blood off Gu Qingqing's body, then carried her naked back to bed.
The only pity is that Gu Qingqing, with such strong willpower, did not awaken any special cultivation physique.
After putting Gu Qingqing on the bed, Shen Lang dialed Dong Xue's number.
"Xiaoxue, arrange for a maid to come to the Qingyu Coffee Shop at the entrance of USTC."
After receiving the order, Dongxue did not ask why, but simply replied, "Yes, young master."
Gu Qingqing knew that Shen Lang had arranged for someone to take care of her. She mustered all her strength, raised her right hand, and tightly grasped the hem of Shen Lang's clothes. She said weakly, "Stay with me, okay? Just for one day, just today, please?"
Now, in Gu Qingqing's heart, Shen Lang has become her only support.
Shen Lang looked at Gu Qingqing lying on the bed, her face pale, and felt a pang of heartache.
He sat on the edge of the bed, holding Gu Qingqing's hand, and said gently, "Okay, I'll go today and stay with you."
After receiving the reply she wanted, Gu Qingqing smiled slightly, then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Shen Lang sat on the edge of the bed, holding Gu Qingqing's right hand and never letting go.
Twenty minutes later, Dongxue arrived at the coffee shop in a Maserati Quattroporte, accompanied by a maid named Luzhu.
Hearing the noise, Gu Qingqing opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Dongxue, Gu Qingqing struggled to sit up straight, a hint of evasion in her eyes.
Dongxue was right next to me when I made the deal with Shen Lang.
Therefore, Gu Qingqing felt a little inferior when she saw Dongxue.
When Dongxue saw Gu Qingqing naked, she roughly understood her relationship with Shen Lang.
She pointed to the maid beside her and introduced her to Gu Qingqing with a smile: "Miss Gu, this is the maid that the young master arranged to serve you. Her name is Luzhu. You can just tell her anything you need in the future."
None of the maids from Baiyun Manor were simple. Dewdrop first bowed to Shen Lang and respectfully greeted him, "Young Master."
He then bowed slightly to Gu Qingqing and smiled, saying, "Miss Gu, from today onwards I will be your little maid. Please feel free to give me any instructions."
Gu Qingqing curled up at the head of the bed and said weakly, "Thank...thank you..."
Dongxue smiled and said, "Miss Gu, you don't need to be so polite. When I came, Miss Gu already instructed that you should go to the villa when you have time, as she wants to see you."
"Miss?" Gu Qingqing asked, somewhat puzzled.
Shen Lang then smiled and explained to her, "You'll know who my fiancée is when you meet her at the villa."
"My...fiancée..." Gu Qingqing murmured to herself in a voice barely above a whisper.
Although she knew that Shen Lang definitely had other women, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she heard it confirmed by Shen Lang.
Dongxue noticed the change in Gu Qingqing's expression and smiled at Shen Lang, "Young Master, why don't you go for a walk? I want to say a few words to Miss Gu!"
Shen Lang knew that Gu Qingqing's emotions were somewhat unstable at the moment, and not being very understanding of women's hearts, he didn't know how to comfort her.
If he were to treat Yu Xian'er or Shuang'er the way he did, their relationship hasn't reached that level yet.
I'll just leave it to Dongxue to handle. I believe that women can communicate better with each other on certain matters.
"Hmm, I'll go for a walk at USTC."
Shen Lang then stood up, left the attic, and walked out of the coffee shop.
When I arrived at the entrance of USTC that day, my phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a local caller ID.
After the call was connected, a familiar voice came through the receiver.
"Mr. Chen... Hello, I am Zhang Daxiang. Do you... do you still remember me?"
"It's you. What do you need me for?"
Shen Lang had a fairly deep impression of Zhang Daxiang because he was his first customer.
“Mr. Shen, it’s like this, I…I want to…I want to borrow some more money from you, is that alright?” Zhang Daxiang asked tentatively.
“Mr. Zhang, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not in the lending business,” Shen Lang said. “You should know my principles well: I only accept transactions of equal value. Do you understand?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Daxiang fell silent.
After waiting for three seconds, Shen Lang saw that Zhang Daxiang still didn't speak, so he said, "Mr. Zhang, it seems you haven't made up your mind yet. So don't bother me until you have."
After saying that, Shen Lang hung up the phone.
He also did not choose to investigate Zhang Daxiang's current situation.
He couldn't even keep track of all the tradable investors at USTC, let alone have time to care about Zhang Daxiang's affairs.
After entering the USTC campus, Shen Lang dialed Michelle's number.
During Shen Lang's trip, he handed Mi Qi'er over to Gu Qingqing. After Gu Qingqing gave her a good talking-to, Mi Qi'er was no longer as lazy as before. Every day, she diligently searched for tradable individuals in the school and then brought them to Qingyu Coffee Shop to hand over to Gu Qingqing.
Over the past four months, more and more traders have been trading through Michelle, and her reputation at USTC has gradually been shrouded in mystery.
