Looking down at her from her superior position, Luo Shimiao had wanted to slap her for a long time.
"I've tolerated you for so long. Did I dig up your family grave or steal the remains of your ancestors? You've caused me trouble time and time again."
Bai Yunqing's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted as he glared at her: "You stole everything from me! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this!"
"Only by removing you, this obstacle in my path, can everything that was before return to me."
She shook her head speechlessly: "You're completely hopeless."
Luo Jingyuan laughed in anger at her words: "What a joke! My daughter doesn't even want a company worth hundreds of billions, why would she go and steal your things?"
"Don't make excuses for yourself. You're like a moldy grape, full of bad ideas."
Ye Shujun looked at her son and said slowly, "Ruilin, call the police. Arrest those who should be arrested and prosecute those who should be prosecuted, so that no one will think we are easy to bully and cause trouble for Miaomiao every few days."
"Okay, Mom will lend you her phone for a bit." Luo Ruilin took the phone her mother handed her and went to the balcony to make a call.
Huang Jie realized what was happening and shouted at Luo Jingyuan, "You said you wouldn't sue me if I told you, you lied to me?"
Luo Jingyuan shrugged, looking completely innocent: "I'm not lying to you. In this kind of case, the person involved has to file a lawsuit. Even if I wanted to sue you, the court wouldn't accept the case."
He leaned against the wall, dejected. He'd been tricked, but it was too late; everything was already set in stone. He gained nothing and ended up with a lot of trouble.
Luo Shimiao glanced down at Bai Yunqing, who was talking to himself, and said with her red lips slightly parted, "Abbot, before the police arrive, I would appreciate it if you could arrange for someone to keep an eye on these people, so they don't run away."
"Oh, and also arrange a room for my parents. They arrived in a hurry and don't have a place to stay yet."
The abbot nodded and then instructed the disciples present to take the three to another room.
When I went downstairs, there were many people gathered in the corridor and downstairs, all discussing what had happened.
Ciming said, "Everyone, disperse and go back to your rooms to rest."
The abbot gave the order, and everyone, filled with gossip, returned to their rooms.
As they left, the room became empty and quiet.
Luo Shimiao lightly tapped the bottom of the screen with her finger, revealing a circular icon composed of two arrows. The live stream view changed from the floor to her face.
"It's time to wrap this up. Just treat tonight's events as a short bedtime drama. Goodnight everyone." With that, the live stream ended.
Luo Jingyuan glanced at his daughter and said in a consultative tone, "Miaomiao, look at the cutthroat competition in the entertainment industry, it's too dangerous. Why don't you go back to the company? Dad will arrange a relaxed position for you. You can just sit in the office every day, enjoy the air conditioning, drink coffee, and leave work on time."
Luo Shimiao put her hand on his shoulder and said seriously, "Dad, your daughter is a bit vain. She likes the adoration of fans and the life under the spotlight, so let's forget about it."
"Jingyuan, give up." Ye Shujun pinched her daughter's cheek, her eyes full of doting: "My daughter is only responsible for being beautiful."
Luo Shimiao leaned down and kissed Ye Shujun on the cheek: "Mom, I love you." Suddenly, she remembered that if she did a live stream, it would definitely trend on social media, and Gu Nian would definitely see it.
Knowing Gu Nian as she did, she knew he would rush over that very night. No! He couldn't come; his arrival would disrupt the plan!
Thinking of this, she said urgently, "Dad, give me my phone."
Luo Jingyuan, looking bewildered, pulled out his phone and handed it to her. "What's wrong with this child? She was perfectly fine just now."
Luo Shimiao held her phone and typed in the string of numbers she knew by heart. The call was answered the very next second.
"Gu Nian, it's me. Where are you now?"
On the other end, Gu Nian, with his suit jacket draped over his arm and a weary expression, smiled slightly upon hearing the voice from the phone.
"I'm at home, just about to come find you."
"Don't come over yet, come back tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Nian's deep black eyes showed a hint of doubt, but he didn't ask anything: "Okay, I'll listen to you." He stopped at the door, turned around and walked back, saying softly, "Miao Miao, I missed you."
Hearing the man's gentle voice, Luo Shimiao's lips curled up into a smile. She twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers and whispered, "I miss you too. See you at 6 pm tomorrow. Bye-bye." Then she hung up the phone.
"Dad, the phone is still..." She turned around and saw her parents looking at her.
Luo Jingyuan put his arm around his wife's shoulder and mimicked his daughter's tone: "I miss you too. Oh my, it makes me blush."
Her face flushed: "Why were you all eavesdropping!"
Ye Shujun covered her mouth and chuckled, "We weren't eavesdropping, we were listening openly and honestly."
Luo Shimiao caught a glimpse of Luo Ruilin returning out of the corner of her eye and immediately ran over to take his arm.
"Second brother, Mom and Dad are bullying me."
Luo Ruilin raised his hand and ruffled her hair, smiling as he said, "Miaomiao, look, your parents came all the way here for you. When you go home tomorrow, shouldn't you cook a delicious meal to thank them?"
“That’s a great suggestion. I’ll take care of dinner tomorrow.” She looked at her parents with bright eyes.
Ye Shujun pulled Luo Jingyuan to sit down on the bed: "Jingyuan, I think the layout of the kitchen in the house is not good, and I want to tear it down and rebuild it."
"Honey, we're really on the same page. I also think it looks bad. I'll have someone smash it up tomorrow morning." He finished speaking and secretly glanced at Luo Shimiao.
Luo Shimiao touched her nose. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths? To prevent her from cooking, they were actually going to smash up the kitchen.
At the same time, after everyone had left, Tang Kuan emerged from the darkness, carrying a large cardboard box upstairs.
He saw the door was open and went straight in: "Miss Shi Miao, I got the things. What happened just now? I saw a lot of people, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't come up."
"Just a bunch of clowns, it's all over now, it's all resolved." Luo Shimiao looked at the box curiously: "What's in it? Why is it in such a big box?"
"I don't know, but it's quite heavy." He put the box on the table and used his key to cut open the tape on it. Inside, he saw an electric hot pot, with food in food containers stacked next to it.
Luo Shimiao's eyes lit up: "Hot pot! Gu Nian understands me so well." He picked up a thermos that was almost as tall as a box, unscrewed the lid, and smelled it. A fragrant aroma lingered in his nose.
"They even prepared the soup base."
Luo Jingyuan rolled up his sleeves: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started."
After it was cooked, Luo Shimiao ate a little and then made an excuse to leave. Before leaving, he handed Huang Jie's phone to Luo Ruilin to handle.
......
Hao Yun lay quietly on her side in bed, her eyes closed, her breathing even, sleeping soundly.
The little green cat crawled on her collarbone, silently keeping her company in the quiet night.
More and more wood chips appeared on Luo Shimiao's thigh, and the outline of the ring on her hand became clearer.
He sat there for three hours.
"My butt." Luo Shimiao stood up, rubbing his numb buttocks with his left hand, his fair and slender fingers bearing several wounds.
Xiao Lü looked at the crumpled tissue on the table, stained with specks of bright red blood.
"If you want a ring, just buy it. Why carve it yourself? It's time-consuming and hard on your hands."
Luo Shimiao gazed at the rings arranged side by side on the table, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said softly, "Because they are unique."
She finally finished.
