Chapter 197 Was the house built for me?



After viewing the house, the two walked back hand in hand, when they heard a sound behind them.

"Ah Yu, is that you?"

Bai Shuang thought the voice sounded familiar, and when she looked back, it was Ling Qingyao.

She was coming out of the mall with another woman.

When Ling Qingyao saw Lu Yu, she was about to run over when the woman beside her grabbed her arm. She tried to pull him away, but couldn't.

They looked at Bai Shuang and the others, and Bai Shuang was looking at them too.

The person standing next to Ling Qingyao should be Miss Kang. She has almond-shaped eyes, an oval face, and fair skin, but her mouth is a bit big.

She may not be as beautiful as Ling Qingyao, but judging from the way she grabbed Ling Qingyao, she was much more sophisticated in dealing with people.

But how come they're standing here perfectly fine? Why aren't they writhing in pain on their beds? Who released their pressure points? Cornelian Vitae? Impossible!

It seems I need to ask Mr. Wu for advice.

Lu Yu didn't turn around. Bai Shuang glanced at them, then took Lu Yu's arm and left.

Afterwards, Miss Kang asked Ling Qingyao, "Is she Bai Shuang? She's so beautiful!"

Her shoulder-length hair was slightly wavy and her slender figure was clad in a long, off-white cashmere coat. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it fit her perfectly and looked very elegant.

She has delicate features and fair, rosy skin.

I heard that she is very skilled in medicine and martial arts. It's a pity that she is not on our side.

After Bai Shuang and the others left, Ling Qingyao angrily shook off Miss Kang's hand.

"Why were you holding me back just now, preventing me from going to find A-Yu?"

"Stop embarrassing yourself. It's no use going back. Didn't you see that Lu Yu only has eyes for Bai Shuang? You're no match for her at all."

Give up. Continuing to pursue this will only bring you trouble and embarrassment.

Ling Qingyao: "Why am I no match for her?"

Miss Kang was speechless. "Don't you have any self-awareness?"

You have no medical skills, but others are miraculous doctors;

You have no martial arts skills, but they are experts.

Others are prettier and have better temperament than you. The only thing you have over them is their family background, but they want to start their own business, so you're not much better off than them.

Moreover, Lu Yu didn't care about any of that.

Can you even compare to her?

Ling Qingyao gritted her teeth, "What if she dies? I will definitely kill her."

And besides, we were in so much pain in bed the other day, didn't you want revenge?

Miss Kang was slightly surprised, "Dead? How could she be dead?"

Oh, I see, you want to kill her? But…

Miss Kang wondered, if Bai Shuang died, would Lu Yu choose her?

Since she wants to kill Bai Shuang, why not let her try? If she succeeds, I might be able to reap the benefits; if she fails, it's Ling Qingyao who will suffer the loss, and I won't be able to blame myself.

"She's not so easy to kill. If we really want to do it, we'll have to plan carefully..."

That evening, Bai Shuang asked Bai Jiu to invite Mr. Wu.

"I wanted to come over a couple of days ago, but I was worried that you were too busy since you just got back and I might bother you."

Bai Shuang: "Your disturbance, Mr. Wu, is priceless."

Why didn't you bring Aqiao? I haven't seen her in so long, I miss her a lot.

"I have something important to say this time; she's been making too much noise."

Bai Shuang took out the gifts for them.

"These are black tomatoes, from the greenhouses in Wanta. Take them back for Aqiao."

And these snow rats, just killed recently. Their fur is high-quality, great for making clothes, and their meat is edible. If you don't want to eat them, you can exchange them for points.

Mr. Wu smiled and said, "In a world of natural disasters and apocalypse, what can't we eat?"

The snow rats that Bai Shuang gave them, along with enough leather to make an overcoat for each of them.

Bai Shuang: "I saw Ling Qingyao and Miss Kang today, and they've actually recovered!"

Few people can undo the acupoints sealed by white frost.

Mr. Wu: "That's exactly what I wanted to tell you today."

It was an elder from the Yuwen family who helped them solve the problem.

"The Yuwen family?"

Mr. Wu: "Yes, they are a reclusive family. They may not have been able to survive during the natural disaster, so they came to the Kang family."

They helped the four women cure their illnesses in exchange for the entire clan moving into the base.

But the leader disagreed.

Finally, those members of the Yuwen family who met the requirements entered the base. The Kang family, citing their expertise in the medical field, secured several more spots for them.

It wouldn't be surprising if it was a hidden family that cured them. Since they could live in seclusion and remain unknown to others, they would use many unusual methods.

Otherwise, it cannot be hidden.

The Kang family achieved two goals at once: not only did they help cure Madam Ling and the others, but they also gained influence for themselves.

Bai Shuang sighed, "The enemy is getting stronger and stronger."

When Mr. Wu left, even though he didn't ask for points, Bai Shuang still swiped two thousand for him.

After all, people rely on this for a living, and Bai Shuang needs it.

Importantly, the two had a good relationship, and Mr. Wu was particularly dedicated to helping Bai Shuang.

His messages were not just messages; they often included his own analysis, and he frequently helped Bai Shuang handle emergency situations.

For example, Bai Shuang eventually found out about the anonymous letter he had placed in Ling Liyuan's office.

………………

Ling Liyuan has been very busy lately. He is using his points to buy materials, designing and leading a technical team to build a particularly exquisite house.

One day, a subordinate who was busy working nearby asked him, "Why are you putting so much effort into this? Who is it for?"

Without hesitation, Mr. Ling replied, "My daughter."

"Your daughter is so lucky!"

That person subconsciously thought that he was building a house for Ling Qingyao.

One day, the subordinate ran into Ling Qingyao outside and told her the bad news.

"Miss Ling, your father is building you a very, very nice house..."

"Really? No wonder he's been coming home so little lately."

It turns out my father still loves me; I really misunderstood him before.

That evening, as soon as Ling Liyuan stepped into the house, Ling Qingyao eagerly went to greet him.

"Dad, I heard you're building a really nice house for me."

"Who told you that?"

"You tell me first, right? I know you want to surprise me."

Ling Liyuan shook his head. "No, I didn't build you a house. We already have a house, why would we need to build another one?"

Ling Qingyao, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, asked, "Dad, really not? Then what did xxx say? That you'd help me build a house?"

Ling Liyuan recalled what his subordinate had asked him yesterday. He knew the man had misunderstood and was also blaming him for being nosy and speaking without thinking.

"No."

"No houses were built?"

Ling Liyuan left without answering him again.

"He's building a house, but not for this daughter, but for another."
