[A heartless coward, I've finally seen through someone's true nature!]
Thankfully, our Rou Rou found a voluntary kidney donor. You piece of trash should be disposed of humanely!
[What are you without the Qu family? We eagerly await the Qu family's decision to expel this usurper from their home!]
Bai Wei didn't dare let Qu Jian'er see the trending topics, but Xiao Zhang's casual click caused those holographic comments to flash through the air one by one.
Xiao Zhang quickly turned it off, but it was too late.
Bai Wei frowned: "The company's attitude is very clear: they're giving up on explaining. Or rather, they haven't issued a single statement for you since the incident."
Qu Jian'er continued, "Let the petty people enjoy their triumphs for a few more days."
Bai Wei frowned: "The Qu family is too worried about Qu Jiaorou to care about the drowning incident, but they will definitely target you once they realize what's going on. No, I'll issue a statement."
Qu Jian'er shook her head: "It's no use. Ordinary remarks won't really stop them."
She knew full well that making announcements without evidence would only attract haters and lead to a mob attack. Like water splashed into boiling oil, the resulting splatter often caused considerable damage.
Bai Wei clenched her fist, her heart aching for Qu Jian'er: "Are you just going to let them slander you? You used to always fight back, even when you tried to avoid it. What's wrong with you now?"
Qu Jian'er squinted: "Having almost died once, you've come to your senses. You've realized that circumstances are beyond your control, and you can't confront an unawakable fool head-on."
It's not that she doesn't care, nor that she doesn't want to refute, but rather that it's not the right time.
Furthermore, some of her spells have already taken effect; she only needs to wait for the curses to take hold.
Sensing the subtle atmosphere, Xiao Zhang really wanted to join Han Zhaoyuan's research and stay indoors together.
Meng Qingyang changed the subject: "Look, the spaceship heading to Nanxing has been attacked by space bandits."
Bai Wei leaned closer and sneered, "They're really rampant. It's all the Empire's fault for its inaction, which has emboldened these bandits."
Qu Jian'er's eyes lit up: I felt like I'd forgotten something, the wealthy Master Zuo!
The Zuo Chen I met at the hospital that night carried a heavy aura of karmic retribution and malevolence.
How could she have forgotten?
then.
She rushed to the yard to polish the beads.
Bai Wei and Xiao Zhang prepared various daily necessities, getting ready to rush through the events tomorrow.
Most of the day later.
Sweat beaded on Qu Jian'er's forehead. Before finishing the string of beads in her hand, she turned her head to the side.
He looked at Meng Qingyang, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Meng Qingyang's bright and handsome face showed a conflicted expression; he looked even younger than her.
But she knew that Meng Qingyang had just as many secrets as she did.
Meng Qingyang closed his eyes and explained, "I... I'm actually not a top student from the Royal Academy who's on summer vacation."
Qu Jian'er lowered her head and said, "Mm."
Meng Qingyang asked in surprise, "Why aren't you surprised?"
Qu Jian'er continued polishing the beads: "First, your forehead is broad and bright, and your eyebrows are close together at both ends. You have many family members and are not homeless, which shows that you were lying from the beginning. Second, Bai Wei found that you were not among the top students in the Imperial Academy, which further proves that you are fabricating facts."
Before Meng Qingyang brought Sanbao to the Taoist temple to ask for lodging, he had already thought about what he would say when he met people. So, after seeing Qu Jian'er and the others, he brought up his excuse.
Having only spent two days together, Meng Qingyang didn't want to deceive Qu Jian'er and the others.
Taking advantage of the time when Sanbao was doing his homework, he thought he should confess and try to get lenient treatment.
They also hoped that Qu Jian'er would take his sincerity into consideration and allow them to continue staying in the harmonious Taoist temple.
But little did they know that the other party had already seen through them.
Meng Qingyang was very puzzled: "Then why are you still willing to take in us, who have unknown origins?"
Qu Jian'er pondered without looking up: "Because I know you mean no harm, and besides, in modern times when most people can only drink nutrient solutions, the Taoist temple urgently needs a good chef."
Meng Qingyang retorted, seemingly determined: "Even if we're unregistered, even if being found out will implicate you?"
Qu Jian'er looked up and smiled: "What a coincidence, I just found out a couple of days ago that I'm a second-class citizen. I'm the kind of person who will be deported if I'm found out. Stay here, until you don't want to stay anymore."
She secretly admired herself for being such a shrewd and thrifty person, not only hiring a chef but also saving herself money.
The thought of money made her wince, and she began to estimate how long it would take for Han Zhaoyuan's research to recoup its costs.
Seeing that Qu Jian'er had finished speaking and continued polishing, Meng Qingyang did not disturb her, but silently thanked her. He revealed a genuine smile, a smile that warmed the entire sun.
Qu Jian'er stood up, fiddling with the freshly made beads: "I'm going out for a bit, don't wait for me for dinner."
Meng Qingyang nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."
Qu Jian'er waved her hand and called into the house, "Xiao Zhang, can I borrow your magnetic electric car for a bit?"
Xiao Zhang replied seriously, "Sister Qu, please remember, starting two days ago, the car is yours, and so am I."
Qu Jian'er refused to talk to Xiao Zhang, who was having an episode.
Bai Wei urged, "Stop joking around, hurry up and get ready. Don't forget any skincare products."
Xiao Zhang resignedly packed his third suitcase: "Sister Qu has good skin, and besides, she doesn't like skincare."
Bai Wei said confidently with a haughty expression, "But this great beauty needs it."
Ψ(`_′#) Xiao Zhang: Very good, you win.
Qu Jian'er put on her helmet, rode her wheel-less hovercar, and headed straight for her destination.
After some divination...
She rode straight onto the winding mountain road.
The artificial tree branches, layer upon layer, block out the sky, with dappled sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.
