At this moment, on Ding Xiaoling's raft.
She stared at that familiar name on the activity ranking list, clenching her teeth.
"Mom, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Xiaomei looked at her with concern and asked.
Ding Xiaoling looked at her daughter's face, which resembled hers by eight parts, and forced a smile: "Mom is fine, Xiaoling, you go back to your room first, Mom and Dad have something to talk about."
Jiang Xiaomei gave her a deep look, then went back to her room without saying a word.
Ding Xiaoling sat on the sofa, staring blankly out the window, her thoughts drifting away.
After a long while, as if she had made up her mind, she opened the chat window with Jiang Zifeng.
Jiang Zifeng suddenly sent a message: "Xiaoling, why don't you want to participate in this event?"
Ding Xiaoling immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, all the courage she had mustered vanishing in an instant.
How should she bring it up with Lao Jiang?
After a long silence, she finally made up her mind: "Old Jiang, do you... want to hear about my past?"
Jiang Zifeng's expression changed: "So you're finally willing to talk?"
Over the years, he had always known that Xiaoling had a story, but she never told him, and he never asked.
Even though Xiaomei wasn't his biological daughter, he always treated her as his own, cherishing her as the apple of his eye.
All of this was because he loved Xiaoling. Some people are destined to be together for life with just one glance.
He didn't care about Ding Xiaoling's past at all; he only wanted to have her present and future. The two lived peacefully together for eight years.
Now, is she finally willing to tell him about the past?
Ding Xiaoling organized her thoughts and began to speak in a detailed manner: "Xiaomei's biological father is a very capable person..."
Ding Xiaoling talked about whatever came to mind for more than half an hour, mostly about her past with that man.
Jiang Zifeng felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing this.
But then he thought, if it weren't for that past, he and Xiaoling might not have met.
Now, he has Xiaoling, and that's enough.
Ding Xiaoling felt a great sense of relief after she finished speaking.
Those past events, buried in her heart for so many years, are now out in the open, as if everything has passed and cherishing the people in front of her is the most important thing.
Jiang Zifeng suddenly remembered something: "Him...did you see him on the event leaderboard?"
Therefore, it makes sense that Xiaoling suddenly decided not to participate in the activity.
Ding Xiaoling no longer hid anything: "Yes, his name is Liu Hongtao, but I'm not sure if the person on the list is him."
Jiang Zifeng: "Xiaoling, thank you for telling me all this."
Ding Xiaoling choked up a little: "No, Lao Jiang, I should thank you. Thank you for saving me back then, and thank you for loving Xiaomei like your own daughter all these years..."
Jiang Zifeng: "Xiaomei is my biological daughter. Are you planning to tell her about this?"
Ding Xiaoling: "No, you raised her for eight years, you are her biological father, and only you."
Jiang Zifeng: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ding Xiaoling said in a relaxed tone, "By the way, I still have some materials here. I'll send them to Xinglan in a bit. She's helped us a lot."
Jiang Zifeng naturally wouldn't disagree.
Then, Luo Xinglan received another set of items from Ding Xiaoling: [280 pieces of wood], [29 nails], and [12 screws].
She thanked them briefly and continued to expand the raft.
Now, her raft has been expanded to more than 600 square meters, successfully making it onto the list, but at the bottom.
At this point, with less than four hours left before the event ended, the competition for the top ten became increasingly fierce.
Chen Xiaodong was lucky and obtained a lot of good resources and saved a lot of money. In order to stand out in this event, he spent almost all of his gold coins. He is still in first place, but he still has a lot of wood in his hand that he has not used.
Apart from Qian Duoduo who is still collecting wood, the other people in the top ten have given up and are waiting to see what happens.
Therefore, Chen Xiaodong only needed to keep an eye on Qian Duoduo and prevent him from surpassing him.
Suddenly, he saw a message on the world channel:
"Look, everyone! Boss Luo Xinglan has made it into the rankings!"
“I took a look, and it really is! It’s just that her ranking is quite low; she’s currently ranked 970th.”
"Where is it? Let me see! Wow, in such a short time, it's already ranked 930th!"
"Hey, it's easy to overtake those people behind us. The difference between two places is only a few square meters. The further ahead you go, the harder it is to overtake them."
"I believe that Luo Xinglan will definitely make it into the top 100!"
"Be bold, I think Luo Xinglan can make it into the top 50!"
"Luo Xinglan, go for it! It would be best if you could get first place, don't let that bastard Chen Xiaodong get first place!"
"Chen Xiaodong's current area is 4700 square meters, even Qian Duoduo, who ranks second, is more than 300 square meters smaller than him! I think it's difficult!"
"That's right. Everyone has sold most of their materials now. Let alone 300 square meters, even 100 square meters is difficult. I think it would be great if Luo Xinglan could squeeze into the top 50. Don't have too high expectations for her."
"Oh dear, if I had known that Boss Luo Xinglan was also participating in the event, I wouldn't have sold the materials; I would have sold them all to her! No, I would have given them all to her!"
Chen Xiaodong's face darkened. Luo Xinglan also participated in the event?
He checked the leaderboard and found that in just a few minutes, Luo Xinglan's ranking had risen again, and she was now number 888.
His breathing became heavier.
Was Luo Xinglan secretly watching him all along?
Is it because he feels he can no longer expand the raft that he has started to expand it?
However, she probably didn't expect that the materials he had were enough to upgrade 1,000 square meters, right?
Chen Xiaodong snorted coldly. This time, he was determined to make Luo Xinglan lose willingly!
