Chapter 74

Time rewinds to the morning—

When Ruan Shengyi woke up, she looked through the small attic window at the quiet street outside, and a wave of sadness rose in her heart.

Really, huh, it’s been so many days, and she’s still unwilling to come and say a word to her?

This time, she wouldn’t give in, absolutely not.

She must win this round!!

Ruan Shengyi washed her face, brushed her teeth, and tidied herself up as usual. She prepared to carry her bag out to continue her bakery investigation business. Before, she was looking at stores in the north of the city, but now she was slowly starting to turn to stores in Chuncheng to learn from their so-called advanced experience.

What’s suitable is the best.

She was fiddling with her hair in front of the half-mirror, which had faded a bit more and was becoming more brownish-green, when the phone rang.

It was Chen Yuexin, who hadn’t wanted to talk to her all day yesterday.

Ruan Shengyi tilted her head to look at her phone, stared at it for a while, scoffed, put down her hair, answered the phone, and said, “What’s up? Finally willing to take me off the blacklist?”

Chen Yuexin chuckled and scolded her before opening her mouth to say, “Yichen asked you, do you really want to borrow someone?”

“You scolded me like that, why the sudden change of heart?”

Chen Yuexin chuckled, “Your sister’s people told her that Shengsheng Real Estate is changing hands today.”

Ruan Shengyi suddenly clenched the hand holding the phone and said in a deep voice, “Borrow.”

“Alright. Yichen will take care of it for you, still boasting about being a local tyrant. Today, let those people see what a real local tyrant is. But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so be prepared to spend half a day at the police station.”

Ruan Shengyi laughed, “Didn’t you just say that Sister Yichen is the real local tyrant? Huh?”

“You little rascal, don’t push your luck. Write me a three-thousand-word confession later.”

“Okay.”

“Also, try not to fight in my store.”

“Okay.”

She hung up the phone, looked at herself reflected in the black screen, and after a long time, tilted her head and smiled.

It had been a long time since she had done this kind of thing, and she wasn’t really used to it anymore.

She simply didn’t tie her hair up, letting it fall loosely, picked up the backpack beside her, slung it over her shoulder, and prepared to go out.

She saw the surprise someone had left her as soon as she went out.

Thump.

The bag even fell to the ground.

On the big white paper she had angrily stuck on, two watercolor paintings had inexplicably appeared. One was a very obvious pink rabbit with its fur standing on end, kicking a spherical object, looking very cute.

The other was even cuter. Under the ocean-like disco ball lights, behind a brown wooden bar, a pink rabbit was supporting its chin with its hands, one ear drooping, and the other also a bit listless, looking very, very… bored while waiting for customers.

Bored to the point of being cute.

This person!!

Just equated the rabbit with her like that? Just posted it up like that? Just like that, without even asking her?

Such a big deal as posting this, without even asking her?!

Only two sentences remained in Ruan Shengyi’s heart—

First, she couldn’t live anymore. Was it too late for her to die now?

Second, when did Xiao Wenyu post them? It’s been so cold these past two days, her hands must have been frozen, right?

In the end, concern overcame anger and shyness. She dialed the phone, and although she didn’t say much, she felt more at ease and warmer.

So what if it was seen? It was also… pretty good-looking! It was the first time she knew Xiao Wenyu’s paintings were so good. That’s right, Yecheng Normal University didn’t have a photography department, so this art student probably studied painting or something. Really good-looking, huh.

Yeah, really good-looking.

Yeah! Really good-looking!

When she left, she turned her head to look at the small window behind her.

Good morning, Xiao Wenyu. Wait for me to come back.

“Is this seat taken?”

When the low, clear voice rang in Lin Simu’s ear, it carried a bit of sharpness, piercing through the noisy music and stabbing into her ear.

She waved her hand irritably and said, “Not interested today. Don’t bother me.”

The matters at home had been bothering her for months, and now that things had finally settled, even if it wasn’t a good result, she finally had time to come out for a drink. No one should bother her.

“Miss Lin, why don’t you open your eyes and see who I am?”

A glass lightly tapped on the table, making a crisp sound.

The woman sat down without allowing any argument, crossed one leg over the other, rested her arm on it, and stared at Lin Simu with a half-smile.

The blue rimless glasses on her nose made her look even colder to the extreme.

Lin Simu squinted at her for a while and scoffed, “Oh, so you’re Xiao Wenyu’s new lover? What’s wrong, here to show off your power?”

She downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, inverted the glass on the table, and tapped the thick glass bottom with her fingertips, saying each word distinctly, “You, are, not, worthy.”

“Eh.” Ruan Shengyi only extended her index finger and waved it gently, then extended her middle finger and gently pushed her glasses up from the bridge of her nose, slightly raising her lips: “Miss Lin has misunderstood, don’t use others in our affairs.”

“…Hypocritical.” Lin Simu smiled as she looked at her, leaning back. “What, do you think I care? I only care about which new beauties I can see tonight. As for her, who cares, my friend, an unrealistic dreamer, hehe.”

“Hmm, don’t care? That’s right.” Ruan Shengyi raised her lips, “After all, it’s not you who devoted ten years of youth to it.”

Lin Simu’s expression changed. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Ruan Shengyi slightly raised her head. “Did this relationship delay Miss Lin from enjoying her youth?”

“Oh, it should have.” She drew out the sound, then paused appropriately, picked up the square glass beside her, and took a small sip. “It delayed Miss Lin from shaping herself into a perfect devoted lover, right?”

Ruan Shengyi slightly raised her head, looked at the person who had stood up excitedly because of being exposed, slightly curved her eyebrows, but there was no smile in her eyes, and said softly, “But, was it useful to shape it?”

“Tax-evading Miss Lin.”

With just a light touch of her upper and lower lips, the person in Ruan Shengyi’s gaze instantly turned pale and slumped back into her chair.

This was inevitable.

Tan Yichen told her that the reason why the strong dragon who came to suppress this local tyrant was short of breath was because she couldn’t personally send them in. The strong dragon would have to lie low even when returning to headquarters, so she had to hold back.

It didn’t matter, she could.

But before sending them in, she had to make good use of this information.

Otherwise, some people would always think that a person who came out to mix in society in her teens and could open a stable and peaceful bar in her twenties was a useless coward.

Like the person in front of her.

Lin Simu was shocked for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly, “You think you can fool me? If you have the ability, go write a report letter. If you don’t have the ability, then watch me change cities and continue to be free and easy.”

“As for yourself, hehe, keep guarding that woman. Anyway, you like it.”

“Picking up things that others don’t want, you’re really cheap.”

Ruan Shengyi still sat calmly, slightly raising her chin, looking at the person who had involuntarily stood up because of excitement, raising her lips and laughing softly: “Yo, triggered?”

She knew too well how to anger someone.

All it took was to say calmly, “Is that all you’re capable of? Only know how to slander a person who lives an earnest life?”

“Hehe.”

Her hands were behind her back from beginning to end, only her eyes were slightly raised, and under the light blue lenses, the corners of her eyes carried a bit of sarcasm, just staring at Lin Simu with a half-smile.

Staring at this woman who had rarely not combed her non-mainstream hairstyle today, watching her shake her head with a smile, her hands on her hips, and repeatedly let out low laughter with gasps, “You want to anger me, right?”

Ruan Shengyi’s expression was indifferent, she even picked up one leg and placed it on the table, saying calmly, “Did I?”

Pa!

The woman flew into a rage, smashed the glass on the table to the ground, and sneered, “You did it, okay? You did it, you saw me angry, what else do you want?”

Ruan Shengyi raised another leg, her legs crossed, “I didn’t say anything.”

“You!” Lin Simu gritted her teeth and pinched this person’s collar tightly. “Don’t go too far. You only won the heart of a woman I didn’t want anymore. What are you being arrogant about?”

“I didn’t.” Ruan Shengyi obediently raised her head, only her eyes were filled with sarcasm, and said lightly, “Also, it’s she who didn’t want you anymore, don’t overthink it.”

“What kind of thing are you? What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?”

The civilized mask that the woman had been tearing for months finally shattered completely. She punched down, hitting the wooden frame beside her hard, glaring and gritting her teeth, “You poor dog, do you really think I don’t dare to hit you?”

“You don’t even know how to attack me anymore. It doesn’t matter, I’ll teach you.”

“Lin Simu, a fool from an unhappy family, a scum who abandoned the person who loved her, what else do you have besides a little money? Do you think your so-called attacks can attack me? What kind of thing are you? You’re already triggered to the point where you don’t know how to attack me, and you still want to win against me?”

“You and your sister are the same. When you’re not confident, you only think about how to bully others, haha…”

The person who was leaning lazily in the back of the chair finally raised a hand, pressed it on Lin Simu’s hand, and pried open her fingers one by one—

Sneering, “Stupid.”

Enough fire had been lit, and all it took was the final flame to ignite a raging fire. Before the overwhelming attack fell, Lin Simu didn’t see the faint smile on the corner of this woman’s lips.

As well as a group of people lurking around, who instantly rushed up, squeezing the two of them together and dragging them out.

Chen Yuexin poked her head out from the second floor and patted her chest. “Luckily, luckily, they didn’t fight in the store. Yichen—”

In the depths of the second floor, the woman smiled. “Got it, everything is arranged.”

*

“We’ve already notified your families. Just sit here. We’ll further verify the situation. Until then, you can wait here.”

Officer Hat glared at these two foolish adults, pulled the iron door shut. In the empty conference room, the two people sat diagonally across from each other, looking at each other contemptuously.

After a long time, Lin Simu sneered. “You angered me just for this? But don’t forget, I was the one who was ganged up on.” She lightly tapped the table. “Don’t worry, I will definitely not give you a letter of understanding.”

Ruan Shengyi ignored her, only tilted her head and lightly spat out a mouthful of bloody mist, raised her hand to wipe the wound on her mouth that was still bleeding, and smiled. “You hit pretty hard.”

Lin Simu slammed the table. “Can’t you hear me when I’m talking to you?”

Her voice only raised an inch, and the wounds all over her body made her tremble in pain, but she still gritted her teeth tightly, not revealing any painful groans.

Ruan Shengyi didn’t even want to give her a glance, only wiped the wounds in a few places on her own, tsked lightly, and said calmly, “What kind of person are you? Why should I listen?”

The air that was about to become intense again wavered for a moment. After a long time, Lin Simu gritted her teeth and sat down, hehe laughing.

Ruan Shengyi: “Do you know where the difference between us lies?”

Lin Simu looked at her in confusion. “What madness are you spouting again?”

Ruan Shengyi looked at the glasses that had a crack in them and said calmly, “I will always support all of her decisions and become all of her confidence.”

“…”

Ruan Shengyi finally raised her eyes to look at her, the somewhat unfocused pupils filled with mockery, coldly saying: “I have a question, how did you look at her in the first place?”

…
