But to his surprise, after Chu Nian moved the visible items, she began eliminating insects and ants. She then used her mental energy to create a protective shield to prevent these creatures from attacking.
Even Lin Jingting clearly felt an invisible barrier pushing him away: They were even trying to eliminate him! What did that mean? Were they turning him into one of the insects?
Having been a ghost immortal for thousands of years, Lin Jingting was used to living a life of high status. Now, for the first time, he was listed as one of the creatures to be eliminated, which greatly angered him. He raised his hand, wanting to shatter the protective shield with a single blow.
"Are we really going to start fighting?" Chu Nian's cool voice rang out.
Lin Jingting put his hands behind his back and glared at her coldly: "This is my territory."
Chu Nian: "This is my house."
Lin Jingting: "This entire Jingting Apartment complex is my territory."
Chu Nian: "My name is on the property deed, so this place belongs to me, and only to me."
Lin Jingting: "Didn't you pay for this? You got it from your boyfriend."
"Oh, you really know how to talk," Chu Nian laughed. "We dated for ten years, but for all those years, he loved my best friend, my best confidante Chen Qingqing. I wasted ten years of my youth for him. How much do you think a woman's most precious and beautiful ten years of youth are worth?"
Lin Jingting laughed and said, "That's because you wanted to do it yourself, so you can't blame anyone else!"
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Your answer is truly manly! You're just like my boyfriend, showing me the shamelessness and depravity of men!"
"You..." Lin Jingting was furious, but had no words to reply.
Chu Nian: "Would you like to leave on your own, or do you want me to kick you out like this?"
Lin Jingting gritted her teeth in anger, her fists clenched tightly, and finally, with a flick of her wide sleeves, she turned and disappeared in an instant.
Chu Nian cleaned the entire house thoroughly, making sure no insects or rodents got in, and then sat down at her computer desk to start thinking.
The ancient Chinese military strategy emphasized that "supplies must precede troops," illustrating the paramount importance of provisions.
Although the original owner, Bai Nian, had some savings, Chu Nian knew that this amount was far from enough to make her live a good life. Therefore, Chu Nian was now eyeing the ten million yuan promised by Li Feibai.
Therefore, the next morning, she called Li Feibai to demand the huge sum of money back.
Hearing that she still had the energy to ask him for money, Li Feibai was quite puzzled. According to his estimation, Bai Nian should be exhausted by the ghosts and monsters by now, and would be severely injured even if she didn't die.
He patiently said, "Niannian, don't worry, I'm raising the money! I promised to give you ten million as a breakup fee, and I will."
Li Feibai's voice was tender, and anyone who didn't know the inside story would definitely think that he still had some affection for the original owner. Moreover, he gave Bai Nian a luxury apartment and a huge sum of ten million yuan, which could be considered as giving Bai Nian an explanation.
In reality, he was just stalling for time, waiting for Bai Nian to be killed by the ghosts in the apartment so that he wouldn't have to explain away his ten million yuan.
He figured Bai Nian's death was imminent, likely within the next few days. He was sure Bai Nian was just putting on a brave face, trying to annoy him further; he just needed to wait patiently.
Chu Nian found Li Feibai utterly disgusting.
The original owner, Bai Nian, never intended to provoke him. However, after being rejected by Chen Qingqing, he dared not provoke her again. In order to maintain a good relationship with Chen Qingqing, he set his sights on Chen Qingqing's best friend, Bai Nian, confessed his feelings to her, and became her boyfriend.
Now that he feels he has a chance with Chen Qingqing, he wants to dump Bai Nian, but he is worried that Bai Nian will ruin his future because of this, so he uses tricks to kill Bai Nian and doesn't have to bear any responsibility or punishment.
When they need you, they'll fawn over you; when they no longer need you, fearing you'll get in their way, they'll eliminate you without a second thought. There's nothing more terrifying about human nature than this.
Chu Nian naturally knew Li Feibai's plan and said calmly, "When will you be able to raise the money? Let's arrange a time and place to meet!"
"Uh, in the next few days," Li Feibai's voice remained gentle and polite, even Chu Nian, who knew the situation, found it exceptionally pleasant to hear, "I'll call you once I've raised the money, okay?"
Chu Nian: "How many days do you think I'll have to wait?"
Li Feibai resented this woman's relentless pursuit, but his voice remained gentle and magnetic as he said, "Just wait two or three more days, okay?"
"Fine." Chu Nian said with a cold laugh, "I'll give you three more days. If I still haven't received the money by then, don't blame me for disregarding the consequences and publicly exposing our love triangle to the reporters."
Li Feibai was startled. In his opinion, even if Bai Nian was anxious about not getting the money, she would still make a fuss with him first, either asking to get back together or asking for the money. Going to the reporters to expose their love triangle was definitely Bai Nian's last choice when she had no other choice, so it should take a long time.
Unexpectedly, Bai Nian now proposes to disclose this to reporters.
Li Feibai quickly said, "Niannian, we've been together for ten years. Don't you really have any feelings for me anymore? Even if we can't be lovers or husband and wife, we can still be good friends!"
"Be friends with you?" Chu Nian said coldly. "Sorry, I don't want someone like you! Fine, transfer ten million to my account before midnight three days from now, and we'll be even. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences." After saying that, she hung up the phone: she felt that talking to this scum was a waste of her time.
She disassembled the original owner's phone, then reassembled it, and suddenly asked the door in a cold voice, "Have you heard enough?"
Upon hearing this, a self-proclaimed noble and powerful ghost immortal who had been peering through the crack in the door quickly got up, left the crack, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Chu Nian thought he was really gone, but in the blink of an eye she noticed a surge of spiritual energy outside the window, followed by a ghostly voice saying, "Let me in."
Chu Nian: "You agreed to my conditions?"
Lin Jingting: "Don't even think about it."
Chu Nian: "Then you can forget about getting in."
Lin Jingting fell silent.
Chu Nian asked in bewilderment, "Why are you guarding my window? You were even peeking through the crack in the door just now. Don't you think that's unbecoming of a male lead?"
Lin Jingting: "You also extorted ten million from your boyfriend?"
Chu Nian: "Whether it's this house or that ten million, he offered it to me voluntarily, it wasn't something I asked for." She paused, then added: "Also, he knew there was something wrong with this house before he bought it for me, you should be well aware of that too!"
