Chapter 105 Don’t Like Me
"Ruan Xingyue!" Xu Jiaojiao, with her round belly in the late stage of pregnancy, walked briskly, each step carried the wind, and she was full of energy, looking for Ruan Xingyue all over the room.
Ruan Xingyue responded and opened the door of the audio-visual room. She looked unhappy and had a cold face.
Xu Jiaojiao walked over, glanced inside the door, and seeing her friend's expression was off, she couldn't help but tease, "Your sister has grilled two large plates of beef for you, and you're nowhere to be found. What are you doing hiding here?"
Ruan Xingyue dragged her wrist as she walked out, anger etched between her brows: "You're busy playing the lute to a cow."
Xu Jiaojiao pointed at the handsome young "cow" in the room and said, "Playing the piano or flirting? Please explain clearly. I'm pregnant and my hearing is not good."
Ruan Xingyue was so angry that she pinched her wrist: "Being deaf is nothing, it would be best if we were all mute together."
"That won't do. How can I tease you if I'm mute, my icy beauty sister?"
Ruan Xingyue was so angry that she poked her belly: "Pay attention to prenatal education."
Looking at her friend's lively expression, Xu Jiaojiao had a joking look on her face but couldn't help feeling happy in her heart.
It’s good like this now. I lived like a fake person before.
On the terrace, as soon as Ruan Xingyue arrived, today's party officially began.
Ruan Xingmian, who was video chatting with Gu Xing, looked up at her sister's back and asked casually, "Where's that guy? He doesn't want to eat?"
Ruan Xingyue sat down and poured herself a glass of cold beer. "He doesn't want to eat. He can write for himself what he wants to eat."
Ruan Xingmian: “…” Ma Liang with the magic brush?
Ruan Xingyue stood up and raised her glass to the crowd: "I, Ruan Xingyue, don't have many friends, but the closest ones are all here. A lot of bad things have happened recently, but we haven't lost anyone, so I'm very content. I didn't believe in fate when I was young, but after losing Yaoyao, I started to believe in it. Now I have you..."
Ruan Xingyue's gaze swept over everyone. As she raised her wine glass, her eyelashes cast tiny shadows under her eyes. As the amber light of the wine swayed, her gaze suddenly became scorching and solemn: "I want to say, I have the confidence that my destiny is in my own hands."
Without saying hello, she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, her movements graceful and elegant.
He drank a glass of cold beer without changing his expression, and just smashed the empty glass on the table cleanly.
Ruan Xingmian was infected by her sister's boldness. She picked up a cup of hot orange juice and drank it in big gulps with the momentum of blowing the bottle open.
Gu Xing was so anxious that he fiddled with his phone screen in the hotel: "Drink slowly, Mianmian."
"belch……"
Ruan Xingmian was so scared that he covered his mouth and burped because he drank too quickly.
Fortunately, no one noticed. Only Gu Xing was staring at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
Ruan Xingmian looked back at him and smiled embarrassedly through the screen.
After eating and drinking, Gu Xing also washed up and sat in front of the camera to wipe his hair.
Turing was responsible for blocking other systems. Lu Fuchuan, whose progress was much slower than everyone else, was still making up for his lessons in the study, flipping through the documents compiled by Ruan Xingyue. This was his first time coming into contact with things related to the "World System".
At the same time, he solved the problem that had puzzled him for a long time - the contrast between Ruan Xingmian before and after was not a split personality, nor a sudden loss of memory, but the soul had returned to its original core.
Lu Fuchuan understood many truths, but at the same time, more questions arose.
He picked up a pen.
Following the handwriting of Gu Xing and Ruan Xingmian, he wrote down his doubts.
1. Is there a more advanced system above the world system?
2. Why did the vicious system choose six-year-old Ruan Xingmian?
3. How did Ruan Xingmian come back after going to that world?
4. Who does the malicious system collaborate with? How can it be verified?
5. How to eliminate malicious systems? What would the world be like without systems?
6. What is the purpose of this vicious system inducing people to commit suicide?
…
The terrace was a mess.
Everyone went to the restaurant.
Xu Jiaojiao spoke first: "My progress is not good. I watched the surveillance all day and didn't see Liu Xiangqing go out, nor did I see any men go to her place."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ling said, "Ji Zhengxing has been at my mother's house for the past two days. He bought her flowers and a necklace, and even made time to accompany her to see a Chinese doctor."
When I saw the romantic scene of giving flowers and gifts, I thought it was the love between parents. Now I understand that it is a manifestation of a man’s guilty conscience.
He wanted to make up for his guilt by working twice as hard, suddenly offering gifts, and trying to cover up his inner anxiety with "good".
He was afraid that the truth would be discovered, so he used enthusiasm and consideration to divert attention, allowing his wife to relax her vigilance and reduce her suspicion.
Ruan Xingyue first comforted Xu Jiaojiao: "Don't worry about it. The teacher's wife is already planning to move in. She knows the principal of the community kindergarten, so you can start from there."
Then he looked at Ji Ling: "Can you intervene in the company's affairs?"
Ji Ling was silent for two seconds: "He told me clearly that if I agreed to marry Chen Hao, he would give me shares as a dowry and allow me to join the company to learn management."
Xu Zeqing, who was taking notes, paused and wrote a little harder.
Ruan Xingmian was the first to object, and said indignantly: "You come to manage the company, and then kick you out when the illegitimate child reaches adulthood?"
Ji Ling went to shake the little sister's hand and told her not to worry: "He won't let me in, I plan to pay someone to find out."
Gu Xing heard this and said, "There's no need to spend that money, and you can't sacrifice your marriage. I'm trying to hack into the Ji family database. By comparing the company's electricity consumption with the number of publicly available production lines, I can deduce whether the Ji family factory is hiding its production lines and conducting illegal production activities."
He looked at Ruan Xingyue: "I will continue to follow up on the poisonous perfume incident. How was your conversation with Lu Fuchuan?"
Ruan Xingyue knew that he was referring to the system upgrade.
Among those present, only the three of them knew about the world system.
Lu Fuchuan is the fourth person.
Upgrading the server to make Turing powerful enough to fight against malicious systems requires Lu Fuchuan's financial support.
Ruan Xingyue nodded: "I will reach a cooperation with him as soon as possible."
After discussing the progress, each of them repeated their plans for the week.
Ruan Xingyue offered a final encouragement: "Give us a few more days, and we will definitely be able to obtain the crucial evidence."
Everyone nodded solemnly, full of confidence.
This concludes today's party.
Ruan Xingyue drank and couldn't drive.
Xu Jiaojiao was picked up by a driver.
Gu Xing is not at home, so Ruan Xingmian stays at her sister's house.
Ji Ling also wanted to stay overnight, she could sleep peacefully here.
But she has to keep an eye on her dad and her mom.
She was afraid that her mother would betray her, so she turned around and revealed her plan to Ji Zhengxing.
She and her mother's lives are over, and they will be disgusted by Liu Xiangqing for the rest of their lives.
I hope her aunt can scold his mother and wake her up.
Xu Jiaojiao was picked up by the driver in advance. Ji Ling and Xu Zeqing helped clean up the terrace, which delayed them for a while.
It was almost twelve o'clock when I went out.
The two entered the elevator one after the other.
Xu Zeqing walked in front as usual, holding his suit jacket in one hand, raising his hand to protect the elevator door, waiting for her to go in, and then pressing the close button.
The elevator was spacious, and the two stood on each side. The network was poor, and Ji Ling was still looking down at his phone.
She is contacting a designated driver.
Ruan Xingyue was a little crazy tonight, so he took her along and they each drank a bottle.
Ji Ling was very depressed because he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit if he drank too much, and he couldn't get drunk if he drank too little.
The two pregnant women and Xu Zeqing didn't drink any alcohol.
The elevator was silent and depressing. Ji Ling walked out first, and Xu Zeqing hurriedly followed.
"Lingling, I'm not drunk. Let me drive you, okay?"
In the past, when he said okay, Ji Ling’s heart felt like marshmallows exploding, so sweet that he wanted to take off on the spot.
It sounds inexplicably sad today.
"not good."
Ji Ling clutched her phone, her voice filled with suppressed sobs, "Xu Zeqing, please just ignore me, okay? After we've dealt with my dad's issues, we won't see each other anymore, okay?"
"Lingling..." The gentle corners of his mouth pursed, and the 28-year-old adult tried his best to keep a straight expression, but still revealed a hint of grievance.
"I'm sorry." Ji Ling looked up, her big eyes filled with tears. She was too stubborn to blink, for fear that the tears would squeeze out and betray her heart.
"It was me who was so persistent, so stupid and ignorant, and so gullible. It was me who made your graduation unhappy, and even after you joined a well-known law firm, someone still used rumors from university to slander you. Xu Zeqing, I'm sorry."
Xu Zeqing took a step towards her anxiously, then stopped with restraint, "Lingling, you don't need to say sorry. I'm very happy that Xiao Mu'er is you. The one who has always moved my heart is you."
She bit her lower lip tightly and told herself not to cry.
She knew that she looked ugly when she cried, and she absolutely couldn't cry here.
But the soreness still rose from my eye sockets.
"Why don't you blame me? You should blame me, calling me stupid and foolish..."
"Lingling, I like you. Can you give me a chance to pursue you?"
Ji Ling felt aggrieved. He didn't know how to chat at all.
The more he behaved, the more I blamed myself. I wanted to strangle myself and apologize to him.
She felt sorry for him.
A thin layer of moisture quickly condensed on the eyelashes, and the vision suddenly became blurry. Then something warm rushed out and flowed down the cheeks.
I can't hold back my tears anymore.
When she was young, she fell in love irresponsibly and created a small account specifically to flirt with the big guy. She was exploited by others and ruined Xu Zeqing's future and career.
But he didn't say a word of blame and even said that he liked me.
"Lingling, please stop crying, okay?"
She turned her face away to hide, but she couldn't stop her tears. The tears fell on the back of her hand, splashing a small wet mark, and even the tip of her nose turned red. Her throat felt like a ball of cotton was blocked and she couldn't make a sound.
"Xu Zeqing, please don't like me. I beg you."
