Chapter 21 Spread rumors about yourself! Get angry! Argue! Make a scene! ...
Ling Shu's words greatly surprised Su Ruomeng, whose beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.
She didn't think she had ever seen Sheng Yunqi cry, kneel, and slap himself.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Sheng Yunqi, and immediately saw his shocked expression, as if he had been struck by lightning.
The couple's eyes met in mid-air, and they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
The atmosphere on set suddenly froze, and the "Qiong Yao drama" that had just been performed halfway through abruptly ended.
Unable to hear their inner thoughts, Butler Wang scratched his head, wondering why the two of them had suddenly stopped arguing and started gazing at each other with "deep affection."
...Speaking of which, it seems like the Sheng family has been experiencing these strange situations quite often lately.
Butler Wang didn't understand; he was completely bewildered.
Bai Yue, who also couldn't hear Ling Shu's thoughts, was equally bewildered.
She looked left and right, and found that no one was paying attention to her.
The fire that had been painstakingly built up just now seemed to have been completely extinguished.
Wait, what happened?
A sudden surge of unease welled up in Bai Yue's heart, as if her disguise had been seen through by everyone present in an instant.
How is that possible?
She clutched her skirt, her expression becoming even more pitiful, her voice trembling weakly: "Brother Yunqi, sister-in-law, please stop arguing, it's all...it's all my fault..."
As she spoke, Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng turned to look at her in unison, as if they had agreed beforehand.
Bai Yue's heart skipped a beat.
Something was off; there was something strange about the way they were looking at her.
It was as if they had seen through all her pretense and performance.
What exactly happened?!
How did it suddenly turn out like this!
She swallowed hard, then launched another attack, saying pitifully, "I'm such a useless person. I made Brother Yunqi and Sister-in-law unhappy as soon as I arrived. Maybe I should just leave..."
As she spoke, she tried to control the tears welling up in her eyes. Just as she said "go," a tear rolled down her cheek, perfectly capturing the essence of "pitiful and charming."
Bai Yue refused to believe it. With this tactic of feigning retreat to advance, she was sure that Sheng Yunqi would be moved by her performance!
However, something unexpected happened to her.
Upon hearing that she was leaving, Sheng Yunqi paused for a moment, then seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief and readily said, "Alright, since you're leaving, I won't try to stop you. Uncle Wang, come, see her out!"
Ling Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Sheng Yunqi actually came to his senses and took the initiative to agree to Bai Yue leaving?
That's good. It seems we don't need her to knock anyone out for now.
Bai Yue stood there, stunned: "??"
The script shouldn't have been written like this!
Why did they agree to that so readily?
Butler Wang darted up with a "whoosh," a smile on his face, speaking rapidly and somewhat impatiently: "Bai Yue, come on, I'll see you out."
Bai Yue was speechless: "???"
No, no, no, she finally managed to sneak in, she absolutely can't leave now.
Fortunately, she had a quick wit and came up with another clever idea.
She nodded, feigning composure, then turned to face Butler Wang, making it seem as if she was truly about to leave.
But as soon as she took a step, her body suddenly swayed, and with a cry of "Ouch!" she fell heavily to the ground, covered in mud and dust.
Bai Yue, with tears in her eyes, looked up at Sheng Yunqi and said pitifully, "Brother Yunqi, my... my feet hurt so much!"
She's a tough one; that fall was real, and her left ankle swelled up quickly.
It's obvious that they can't walk.
Sheng Yunqi was completely stunned, not expecting this to happen.
"Oh dear, what am I going to do? I'm so useless, I can't believe I fell down like that..."
Bai Yue braced herself with her hands, trying to stand up. She accidentally touched her injured ankle and let out another soft cry of pain.
How come he never noticed before that Bai Yue was such a good actress!
No wonder Su Ruomeng was angry with him. He was completely blinded by greed before, actually bringing such a scourge into the Sheng family!
Sheng Yunqi gritted his teeth, feeling both self-reproach and guilt.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions and said in a low voice, "Uncle Wang, let's... let's take her to the infirmary first."
It's impossible to kick her out of the Sheng family right now, so we can only send her to the infirmary to treat her foot first.
This time, Bai Yue finally stopped making a fuss and followed Butler Wang, limping away.
Only Ling Shu and the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sheng family remained outside Xiaoming Building.
Ever since Bai Yue left, Sheng Yunqi has kept his head down, not daring to speak or look up at Su Ruomeng.
He huddled silently in the corner of the greenhouse, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be punished by his parents.
Su Ruomeng's expression was solemn, her beautiful lips pursed, still preoccupied with her thoughts.
Ling Shu glanced at the two of them and realized that the atmosphere between them had not eased.
Those invisible barriers were not eliminated; they still stood between the two of them, like an insurmountable mountain.
Bai Yue has temporarily left, but the harm she caused still lingers.
In the original book, Su Ruomeng was already somewhat sensitive due to her family background.
Bai Yue pretends to be obedient and well-behaved in front of Sheng Yunqi, but in reality, she often provokes Su Ruomeng and secretly shows off their affection.
He had already angered Su Ruomeng several times when they were in Haicheng.
Even if it is now proven that Bai Yue had malicious intentions, the damage she caused cannot be easily made up for.
Ling Shu frowned slightly.
She was unsure how to handle this situation.
Su Ruomeng doesn't have the same carefree personality as Sheng Zhujun, so the only way to help her resolve her inner conflict is through gentler methods.
Unfortunately, Ling Shu's weakest skill is "gentle methods".
She thought for a moment and decided to consult the strategist in her mind: "Doggy, are you listening?"
Sheng Yun Shen snapped out of his thoughts and immediately replied, "I'm here."
Ling Shu sighed: "Gouzi, what exactly does Big Brother need to do to get Big Sister-in-law to forgive him?"
In the original book, the misunderstanding between the two was never fully resolved until the beginning of the apocalypse, causing their relationship to become extremely strained. Later, that tragedy occurred...
Now that Ling Shu has arrived, she will surely prevent these tragedies from happening.
Ideally, the two of them should be able to completely resolve their differences so that they can work together to overcome the difficulties that follow.
Well, Ling Shu, who has never been in a relationship, doesn't really understand either.
Sheng Yun pondered for a moment, sorting things out in his mind.
Based on the various conversations he had just overheard, combined with the hints from Ling Shu's inner voice, he had roughly guessed the ins and outs of the whole matter.
If we focus on "resolving Su Ruomeng's inner conflict," unless Sheng Yunqi suddenly becomes enlightened, transforms into a romantic, and proves his sincerity with concrete actions, it's unlikely that Su Ruomeng will be able to completely let go of the hurt caused by Bai Yue.
This method places too high a demand on his older brother and is slow to take effect, requiring a certain amount of time.
What the Sheng family lacks most right now is time.
As the leader of Shengshi Group, Sheng Yun Shen is not a conventional person.
As his thoughts raced, he actually came up with a unique method.
Sheng Yunqi doesn't need to be too reliable, and the results are incredibly fast.
The only problem is...
It's not good for someone's reputation.
But we can't worry about that now.
He took a deep breath and slowly guided Ling Shu: "Host, do you know why Bai Yue came to the Sheng family?"
Ling Shu shook her head: "The book doesn't mention her purpose."
After all, the entire Sheng family were just cannon fodder, only mentioned briefly in the original book. How could the book possibly explain Bai Yue's purpose in detail?
However, Ling Shu could roughly guess what was going on. She calmly analyzed, "But the timing of her appearance is too coincidental. I don't believe it's all a coincidence. It's very likely that she was sent by someone who wants to destroy the Sheng family."
Sheng Yun nodded secretly.
It must be said that Ling Shu is very perceptive.
He had actually tried to impose his ideas on her before, which was a huge mistake.
Now he won't make the same mistake again; he will only guide her skillfully.
He brazenly said, "I know why she did these things."
"oh?"
Ling Shu became somewhat curious.
Sheng Yun Shen tried to keep his tone calm: "Actually, the person Bai Yue truly likes is Sheng Yun Shen, but unfortunately, Sheng Yun Shen has no feelings for her, so she couldn't find an opportunity to get close to him before."
"Now she's colluding with those bad guys to deliberately sabotage Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng's relationship, all just to stir up trouble in the Sheng family so she can take the opportunity to get close to Sheng Yunshen."
"oh……"
Ling Shu took a couple of seconds to react, then exclaimed in shock, "Huh?! How can there be such a thing?!"
Such an exciting plot point, and it's amazing that it wasn't mentioned in the original book!
Fortunately, Sheng Yun Shen is currently in a soul state, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to say these words at all.
He used all his strength to continue making things up: "Yes, host, Bai Yue hides her feelings very deeply. In fact, the rival she really cares about is you."
Ling Shu was furious: "Damn it! How dare she steal my man! I should have just taken decisive action and knocked her unconscious and thrown her out!"
The words "my man" caused Sheng Yun Shen's mind to go blank for a moment.
He paused, unable to continue his story.
Fortunately, Ling Shu already believed him.
That's enough.
After thinking for a moment, he still advised, "Host, don't worry. Without your permission, Bai Yue can't possibly get close to Xiao Minglou. She can never get close to Sheng Yunshen."
"That's more like it."
Ling Shu was satisfied and couldn't help but praise the dog system, "Dog, it's so great to have you! Not only can you chat with me, but you can also gossip with me. How did you know such juicy gossip?"
Sheng Yun Shen: "..."
Because he made it all up!
He forced a smile and said, "This is... some data left over from the database..."
As he continued making things up, he apologized inwardly.
He had originally planned to find an opportunity in the next couple of days to reveal his true identity to Ling Shu, but now, in order to resolve the matter of his elder brother and sister-in-law as soon as possible, he had to continue playing the role of the "system" for the foreseeable future.
Ling Shu believed his explanation and looked at Bai Yue, who had already gotten into the car and left, with a different expression in her eyes.
Before, I was just watching the show; now I'm watching my love rival.
She mentally grumbled a few complaints.
[I never imagined you were such a white moonlight! The person you truly desire is actually Sheng Yun Shen! I'll tell Uncle Wang later that you're absolutely forbidden from approaching Xiao Ming Lou. Dream on if you want to see Sheng Yun Shen!]
Sheng Yun Shen belongs to her, and only she can touch Sheng Yun Shen's abs!
No other woman!
Sheng Yun Shen heard her thoughts and his old face suddenly turned red: "..."
How embarrassing.
The key point is that he himself fabricated this rumor.
The level of shame doubled.
I feel like I've lost all my face in this lifetime because of this one lie.
Fortunately, he still achieved his goal.
Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng, who were still locked in a stalemate nearby, also heard these thoughts.
They both stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Bai Yue's true purpose was actually to get close to Sheng Yun Shen?!
Su Ruomeng's face changed from white to green, and then from green to red.
After a few seconds, she slowly frowned, the worry in her eyes vanished, replaced by a raging fire of anger.
Bai! Yue!
How dare they covet Sheng Yun Shen!
Isn't this blatant bullying of Ling Shu?
Isn't this a slap in the face to the Sheng family?
Absolutely not! Absolutely not!
As long as she, the eldest sister-in-law, is around, Bai Yue's goal will never be achieved!
She turned to look at Sheng Yunqi, switching into battle mode in an instant, her tone quick and direct: "Send Bai Yue away as soon as her foot is bandaged."
Sheng Yunqi, equally solemn, nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
The couple, who were just arguing, instantly transformed into comrades-in-arms, working together seamlessly.
Ling Shu touched her head blankly: "?"
She experienced the same confusion that Butler Wang had been going through recently.
Why did the atmosphere suddenly change? The older brother and sister-in-law stopped arguing, and the sister-in-law, who used to be quiet, suddenly started speaking her mind.
Wow, the plot is moving too fast, she can't keep up.
Before she could figure it out, Su Ruomeng quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and said with a gentle yet firm expression, "Xiao Shu, don't worry, Bai Yue and I are sworn enemies. The Sheng family will either have me or her!"
Sheng Yunqi nodded vigorously beside him: "That's right, it's either us or her!"
Su Ruomeng rolled her eyes: "Didn't you bring this person in?"
Sheng Yunqi stopped abruptly, then hung his head in dejection and confessed, "I was wrong, I'm really not human!"
Ling Shu slowly typed out a question mark: "???"
Although I don't understand what happened, things seem to be moving in a positive direction...
However, as a key figure in disrupting the Sheng family, Ling Shu did not want Bai Yue to "go offline" so soon.
Daring to covet Sheng Yun Shen, simply kicking Bai Yue out is far too lenient on her.
Moreover, if we kick her out now, who knows what tricks her people might pull next.
If some other red or blue moon were to appear, it would only cause more trouble.
Ling Shu said directly, "Brother and sister-in-law, I think Bai Yue's appearance is a bit suspicious. There might be other issues behind it. I suggest we keep her around for now, cooperate with her performance, and see what she's really up to."
Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng exchanged a glance.
The two nodded in unison: "Okay, Xiaoshu, we'll do whatever you say."
Su Ruomeng patted Ling Shu on the shoulder and said confidently, "Don't worry, Xiao Shu, I will cooperate fully and find out her true colors as soon as possible!"
As she spoke, her expression was resolute, and her face radiated a glow, a stark contrast to her earlier sorrow and self-pity.
After making her statement, Su Ruomeng turned and glared at Sheng Yunqi: "Did you hear that? You're supposed to cooperate with the performance, so pay attention and don't mess it up!"
"Uh-huh!"
Sheng Yunqi nodded obediently, "Definitely not!"
In the pavilion outside Xiaominglou, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sheng family and Ling Shu were sitting together, happily eating a clear broth hot pot.
Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng chatted and laughed, and Su Ruomeng even served Sheng Yunqi some food.
The barrier between the two seemed to have completely disappeared.
Bai Yue paused for a moment, her eyes darkening with disbelief.
Given Su Ruomeng's sensitive personality, how could she possibly forgive Sheng Yunqi so quickly?
All her previous efforts were in vain.
The thought made her a little flustered. Bai Yue took a deep breath, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in her ankle, and quickly stepped forward, forcing out a seemingly gentle and harmless smile: "That's great, Brother Yunqi, Sister-in-law, you've made up and aren't arguing because of me anymore. I'm so happy."
This is called a strategic retreat; on the surface, he says he's happy, but in reality, he's reminding Su Ruomeng of his presence.
This is Bai Yue's most proficient move.
Back in Haicheng, she had successfully provoked Su Ruomeng many times using this tactic.
However, this time, the tactic of retreating to advance failed.
Su Ruomeng stopped what she was doing, turned to look at her, and smiled broadly: "Oh, Xiaobai's foot is bandaged up? Why are you back again? Are you coming or not?"
Bai Yue was stunned, somewhat unable to believe what she had just heard.
In the past, Su Ruomeng would just silently endure and silently get angry when faced with her provocations. This was the first time Su Ruomeng had publicly confronted her.
Why has Su Ruomeng suddenly become so aggressive?
After several seconds, Bai Yue finally gave an awkward smile: "I... my feet hurt so much that I really can't walk. Can I stay here for a few days?"
As she said this, she looked at Sheng Yunqi pitifully, her voice sweet and soft, "Brother Yunqi, please..."
Bai Yue looked around and thought the small building in front of her looked quite nice, so she pointed to it and said in a delicate voice, "Can I stay here?"
Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng didn't speak, but turned their heads in unison to look in the direction she was pointing.
Xiaominglou.
Sheng Yunqi: "!!!"
Su Ruomeng: "!!!"
Ling Shu was right after all; Bai Yue was hiding something!
He actually publicly said he wanted to live in Xiaominglou!
I'm going to die!
Sheng Yunqi felt a chill run down his spine and was about to refuse firmly when Su Ruomeng reacted even faster than him, suddenly standing up: "How can that be? You were brought back by Yunqi, is it appropriate for you to stay somewhere else? You will stay at Buxianxian, next to Yunqi and me, it's settled!"
Now that things have come to this, the only option is to sacrifice Sheng Yunqi to stabilize Bai Yue and absolutely prevent her from getting close to Xiaominglou!
Moreover, having Bai Yue by my side makes it easier to observe her and see what she really wants to do.
As she said this, Su Ruomeng gave Sheng Yunqi a piercing look, not allowing him to refuse.
Sheng Yunqi remained silent for a moment, then pursed his lips with a hint of grievance, not daring to speak, seemingly having already tacitly agreed.
Bai Yue: "Huh?"
You just agreed so easily?
Before she could react, Su Ruomeng quickly waved to Butler Wang: "Uncle Wang, quickly take Xiaobai to Buxian Immortal."
Butler Wang appeared as if in a flash, blocking Bai Yue's path, his tone respectful yet distant: "Miss Bai, please come with me."
He had just received a message from Su Ruomeng, learning that Bai Yue's true purpose was to get close to Sheng Yun Shen. In order to keep Bai Yue's backers in check, the Sheng family had to be patient and play along for the time being.
Butler Wang appears normal now, but his eyes are much colder than before, with a hint of murderous intent hidden deep in his pupils.
Bai Yue couldn't help but shudder.
The unusual reaction from the Sheng family made her uneasy, as if things were slipping out of her control.
Unfortunately, she didn't know why, so she could only anxiously wait there.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yue decided to try again. She looked at Sheng Yunqi, her tone even more pitiful: "Brother Yunqi, I... I haven't eaten yet. Can I... eat with you?"
Sheng Yunqi didn't dare to answer, and instead looked to Su Ruomeng and Ling Shu for their opinions.
Ling Shu didn't care, since she was already full.
As long as she was full, she was always in a good mood and didn't mind Bai Yue jumping around in front of her.
Su Ruomeng thought for a moment, then nodded slightly to Sheng Yunqi.
She mainly wanted to see if Bai Yue could reveal more clues.
Seeing that both ladies had agreed, Sheng Yunqi could only say "okay".
Bai Yue's eyes lit up slightly, and she continued to cause trouble.
She looked at Sheng Yunqi and asked cautiously, "Brother Yunqi, can I... sit next to you?"
As she spoke, she kept an eye on Su Ruomeng's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
Bai Yue refused to believe that Su Ruomeng could remain so indifferent after she had already taken the initiative to this extent.
Previously in Haicheng, during a dinner, she also tentatively expressed her desire to sit next to Sheng Yunqi.
Sheng Yunqi didn't give her a chance and refused on the spot.
However, Su Ruomeng was still unhappy. She didn't even eat her meal and simply put down her chopsticks and left.
The next day, Su Ruomeng boarded a flight back to Beijing alone, without even saying goodbye to Sheng Yunqi.
This proves that this tactic was very effective against Su Ruomeng.
Bai Yue was hoping that Su Ruomeng would turn on her like last time.
Su Ruomeng frowned slightly as she carefully examined Bai Yue, seemingly trying to see through her true intentions.
This reaction is different from before.
Bai Yue felt uneasy, but had no choice but to continue her "performance".
She glanced at Su Ruomeng deliberately, then shrank back fearfully, her voice becoming much softer: "Ah...yes, I'm sorry, Brother Yunqi, I...I forgot that my sister-in-law was here too...it was all my presumption..."
As she spoke, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
Bai Yue moved closer to Ling Shu and said timidly, "I... I'd better sit with Miss Ling."
In her words, she conveyed her grievances perfectly.
If you only look at her performance, everyone would probably think she is a virtuous and understanding woman who endures hardship and is incredibly endearing to men.
Even if Sheng Yunqi is slow-witted, he should feel sorry for him by now, right?
Even if Su Ruomeng is good at pretending, she should be furious by now, right?
She's been trained; she's a professional in this area!
Bai Yue was very satisfied with her performance; she was just short of applauding herself.
She could clearly see that Su Ruomeng's brows furrowed more and more tightly, her eyes were stern, and there were signs of anger about to break out.
Su Ruomeng, have you finally reached your breaking point?
Bai Yue couldn't help but clench her fists, eagerly anticipating the storm to come.
Get angry! Argue! Make a scene!
Let the storm rage on!
She stared intently at Su Ruomeng, not missing a single movement she made.
Su Ruomeng slammed her hand on the table, her face full of anger.
Not satisfied with slamming the table, she even stretched out her foot and kicked Sheng Yunqi, who was standing next to her, hard.
"What's going on? Can't you hear me? Didn't you hear Xiaobai say she wanted to sit next to you? Hurry up and give up your seat!"
She said Bai Yue was hiding something!
On the surface, she wanted to stay for dinner and sit next to Sheng Yunqi, but in reality, Bai Yue's true purpose was to get close to Ling Shu!
Damn it, is Bai Yue trying to provoke Ling Shu with all sorts of strange words, just like she did before, to make her little Shu unhappy?
She absolutely will not allow it!
Anyone who has been caught in the rain will not allow any raindrops to fall on Ling Shu!
Sheng Yunqi was kicked, and immediately jumped up, quickly moved to the side, and sat down, daring not to say anything in anger.
The space became available instantly.
Su Ruomeng nodded with her chin and said domineeringly, "Sit!"
Bai Yue was stunned and subconsciously sat down obediently.
Her mind was buzzing; she couldn't believe what she had just experienced.
This, this reaction...
Something's not quite right...
