After the conflict was completely resolved, Zhuang Li and He Ming hugged each other for a long time, burying their heads in each other's necks, suppressing their inner thoughts.
Being apart for so many days was torture for both of them.
After the excitement faded, a faint sense of happiness came over them, causing them to laugh softly at the same time.
"Will you make trouble with me again in the future?" Zhuang Li gently patted He Ming's cheek.
He Ming quickly shook his head, his voice filled with fear: "I won't make trouble again."
"Are you still in the cold war?" Zhuang Li continued to ask.
"No more calls." He Ming took out his phone and begged, "Can you please remove me from the blacklist?"
Zhuang Li patted his face gently again, then removed the person from the blacklist and added him as a friend.
He Ming immediately sent a text message: [Xiao Li, I was wrong.] Seeing that the red exclamation mark was no longer displayed before the message, he smiled contentedly.
Zhuang Li replied: [Okay, I forgive you.]
The two sat face to face, their foreheads touching each other. They could have been talking and chatting, but they were both holding their phones to send text messages, and then they laughed at the same time.
7480: "...People's IQ really does drop when they're in love."
Seeing this scene, Shao Yan couldn't help but smile happily.
Shao Hui felt so bitter that her teeth were about to fall out. When she heard the word "blacklist", she remembered why she had come downstairs.
"Mom, lend me your cell phone! Hurry, hurry!" Shao Hui urged anxiously.
"Where's your phone?" Shao Yan asked, but she still handed it to her daughter. She didn't have a habit of locking her screen; anyone could use her phone.
Shao Hui snatched the phone and ran upstairs.
Zhuang Li pulled He Ming to his feet and said as a matter of course, "I'll go home with you tomorrow. Let's sleep here tonight."
Happiness came too quickly, leaving He Ming somewhat bewildered. With his ears flushed, he agreed, then added, "I also have a house in this neighborhood, in Area A, not far from here. I'll have someone move all my things over tomorrow, and we'll live here permanently. This way, it'll be convenient for you to go home and visit Mom."
Shao Yan became even happier when he heard this and said yes repeatedly.
She couldn't be more satisfied with her son-in-law He Ming, and she hoped that her daughter could find a son-in-law like him in the future.
But husbands like He Ming are really rare, right? She has lived for most of her life and has never seen one.
The two returned to the room hand in hand, and as soon as they closed the door, they kissed each other eagerly, using their passionate lips and tongues to fill the emptiness of the past few days.
Shao Hui, who was hiding in the next room, finally got through to Jin Erxian on the phone. The man's voice was like burnt dead leaves, revealing a dead silence of the end of the world. Just the extremely hoarse "Who are you looking for?" made Shao Hui shiver for no reason.
"Jin Erxian, did you lose all my money speculating in stocks?" Shao Hui calmed down and asked.
Jin Erxian's breathing immediately became heavy, and he was about to hang up the phone without any explanation.
Shao Hui sensed his intention and quickly said, "Jin Erxian, He Ming is going to call the police to arrest you! My brother has evidence that you stole He's secrets. I saw him handing the evidence to He Ming just now. Are you planning to sell the research and development information of 'Butterfly Wing' to another company? My brother has screenshots of all the chat records between you and that person online. Is the buyer you are contacting codenamed UYT?"
Jin Erxian almost knocked over the teacup beside him.
The buyer who negotiated with him on the dark web was nicknamed UYT.
So, Shao Hui was not lying to him!
Jin Erxian was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the phone steady. He asked in disbelief, "How did Zhuang Li know that?"
Shao Hui immediately recounted how Zhuang Li had set up a scheme to drag everyone into the abyss.
Jin Erxian: “…”
A huge fear struck Jin Erxian like lightning. He had no idea that when he framed Zhuang Li, Zhuang Li had already seen through everything and pushed him into a desperate situation. Zhuang Li had access to the chat records between him and the buyer, which meant that he must have been monitoring him the entire time.
Therefore, all the people who designed to frame Zhuang Li were actually mice imprisoned in a glass container by him, and they could only run into the death trap one after another according to the route he set in advance!
Is Zhuang Li so scary?
Thinking about his current situation, Jin Erxian finally realized that Zhuang Li's methods were indeed so terrible! He could easily destroy everyone who hurt him!
On the computer screen, the buyer was bargaining for the price one sentence after another, but Jin Erxian no longer dared to reply.
The feeling of being stared at by Zhuang Li made him shudder.
He quickly stood up and moved away from the desk, his expression terrified as if a ghost could crawl out of the computer.
"Jin Erxian, are you still listening to me?" Shao Hui urged on the phone, "Don't your parents still have an apartment in the school district? Sell it quickly. You can return part of the money to me, and use the rest to run away! Jin Erxian, do you hear me?"
Jin Erxian finally came to his senses and gritted his teeth, saying, "My parents worked hard to save their entire lives to buy that house. I can't sell it. Shao Hui, don't forget, it was you who instigated me to help Zhuang Li steal the He family's secrets. I still have the chat records with you. If I were caught by the police, I would be the first to give you up. As the mastermind, you will definitely go to jail longer than me! So, why should I pay you back?"
Shao Hui: “…”
She was really going crazy, anxious and angry.
Why are all the men around her scumbags? Why is it that when they encounter danger, the only way they can think of is to drag her down with them?
What did she do wrong?
At that moment, the door next door suddenly made a muffled sound, followed by Zhuang Li's long, comfortable moan. His graceful ending lingered in the air, making one's bones tingle.
It goes without saying what he and He Ming are doing.
Shao Hui, who was in dire straits: "..."
For a moment, Shao Hui really wanted to run to the kitchen downstairs, find a kitchen knife and chop off the door next door! There must be a limit to provoking people!
On the other side, Jin Erxian's threats have escalated further: "Shao Hui, you must pay me 5 million yuan for your escape immediately, otherwise I will definitely send you to jail! I mean what I say!"
Shao Hui: "..." Her heart had been stabbed again and again, and she was now numb with pain.
"I invested all my money, but you and Xiao Yiheng lost it all. Where can I find another five million?" Shao Hui's voice was filled with tears.
She finally realized that she was not falling into one abyss, but layers of abysses. When she thought things couldn't get any worse, reality would always tell her that there would be a more terrifying hell waiting for her ahead.
She clutched the fabric on her chest and almost fainted. Her heart and head felt as if they were hit by a hammer.
Just at this moment, He Ming's low growl suddenly came from next door, full of excitement, yet extremely restrained, so hoarse, so sexy.
Shao Hui, who had been numb but suddenly felt a sharp pain: "..."
Where's the kitchen knife? She really needs one right now!
Jin Erxian said in a savage voice, "You can't be broke! Your dad is rich, your stepmother is rich, and now even Zhuang Li is rich too. Go ask them for money!"
Shao Hui: "..." Go to hell! I owe you guys since I was born, don't I? I won't give you a penny. At most, I'll just throw a bucket of gasoline on fire and take you all to hell!
Although she was shouting this in her heart, Shao Hui couldn't say it out loud.
It's not easy to live again. She doesn't want to experience the failure of her previous life again. She must get through this ordeal!
After a long silence, she spoke weakly, "You hide first. I'll give you five million in three days, and you can find a way to escape."
"Deal." Jin Erxian gasped and said, "I'm going downstairs now. I'll contact you with a new phone number later. Don't turn it off. If you stand me up, I will go to the police station and turn myself in. Do you understand the consequences?"
Shao Hui gritted her teeth and said, "I understand."
Jin Erxian hung up the phone, but the sound from next door continued, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes Zhuang Li would shout out loudly, sometimes He Ming would roar softly.
Just by listening quietly, others can feel how warm the atmosphere between them is.
They fit so well together.
Shao Hui couldn't bear it any longer, so she walked outside and kicked the door between the two of them a few times, shouting, "Can you be quiet?"
The sound in the house paused for a moment, then became more lingering and intense as if in protest.
Shao Hui: “…”
Shao Yan poked his head out of the room at the end of the corridor and scolded, "Huihui, don't disturb your brother and the others! A short separation is better than a new marriage, please understand. If you find it noisy, move to the guest room and sleep."
Shao Hui: “…”
She really wanted to raise her middle finger and curse, "Fuck understanding!"
Unfortunately, she didn't dare. Without financial resources, she could only live at the bottom of the food chain. So, what had she done with all the money she'd earned? She hadn't improved her family's lives, nor had she changed her own status, nor had she gained the final say.
After so long of rebirth, she has worked in vain!
Shao Hui endured it until she was hurt inside and stopped talking back to her mother. She quietly returned to her room, took a pillow, and went to sleep in the guest room on the third floor.
Thinking of her mortgaged property, the bankrupt company, and the money owed to her by Jin Erxian and Xiao Yiheng, Shao Hui tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
She took out her cell phone and tentatively sent a text message to her father, Zhuang Shuo: [Dad, can you lend me 5 million?]
Zhuang Shuo didn't pretend not to see it and immediately replied: [I don't have any money, you can find a way yourself.]
Shao Hui: “…”
Zhuang Shuo continued, "If you want to borrow money, go find Wang Dan. As long as you're willing to sell her the formula for Magnolia, she'll give you 50 million, not just 5 million."
"Magnolia" is a high-end face cream from the cosmetics company run by Wang Dan, selling for tens of thousands of yuan a bottle. The core formula is the Lingquan provided by Shao Hui. For this reason, Wang Dan pays Shao Hui a large sum of money as dividends every year. Otherwise, Shao Hui would not be able to accumulate hundreds of millions of assets.
Selling Lingquan is equivalent to selling Shao Hui's life. How could she agree?
Only then did she see her father's true colors. Others were only after her money, but Zhuang Shuo wanted to dig up her roots!
