The sunshine after the rain seemed to carry a hint of irony, shining mottled on Jiang Qianmo's face which was slightly distorted by anger, adding a bit of dramatic shadow to her.

Since she stepped into the Jiang family's gate, every step she took was in the rhythm of an impending storm, and the entire mansion seemed to be able to feel the uncontrollable anger in her chest.

The servants were like frightened birds, retreating away one after another, fearing that they would become innocent victims of the storm.

The air was filled with tension and anxiety, and even breathing became cautious.

"Investigate it for me! I want to know all the details of that woman at all costs! How could she make Fu Hanting look at her differently!"

Jiang Qianmo's voice echoed in the empty living room, sharp and determined.

She waved her hand vigorously, sweeping the objects on the table to the ground. The crisp shattering sounds intertwined with her anger, forming a discordant symphony.

His subordinates worked very efficiently, and soon, Gu Ranle's information was placed in front of Jiang Qianmo.

For Jiang Qianmo, the sight of a single man and a single woman in a hotel late at night was not only a flame of jealousy, but also a fire of revenge burning in her heart.

From the first time she saw Fu Hanting, she decided that she would marry no one else in this life.

Why should Jiang Qianmo, who can't get the man she wants, help other women!

"An orphan without a father or a mother dares to stir up trouble in my territory? No one can dare to touch the man that I, Jiang Qianmo, like!"

She gritted her teeth, with sparks of madness flashing in her eyes. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of determination and ruthlessness.

A sinister plan quickly formed in her mind.

The corner of her mouth curled up in a sneer, that smile was full of playfulness and cruelty, as if she had foreseen the miserable scene of Gu Ranle kneeling down and begging for mercy in front of her.

"Doesn't Gu Ranle have a special liking for Li Hongxuan? Well, then I will start from the place that she cherishes most and let her taste the pain of loss!"

She secretly planned in her heart and decided to use the man that Gu Ranle cared about most as a breakthrough point to weave a big net of revenge.

Li Hongxuan's call was connected, but a woman's voice came from the other end.

"I don't care who you are, let Li Hongxuan answer the phone immediately! I have something to talk to him about!"

Jiang Qianmo's tone was full of arrogance, as if the whole world should submit to her will.

But this arrogance seemed so pale and powerless in front of Li Nanxi.

Li Nanxi's voice was calm and elegant, and she rejected her directly: "Hongxuan is not convenient now. I am his mother. You can tell me if you have anything."

Jiang Qianmo's anger was ignited again. She was used to being spoiled, accustomed to being ordered around, and hated being disobeyed even more.

"I want Li Hongxuan to answer the phone himself!" she roared again.

But this didn't work on Li Nanxi, who ended the call without saying a word.

"Damn it! How dare you hang up on me!"

Jiang Qianmo was furious.

She called again, but was blacklisted.

Li Nanxi now only hopes that her son can be safe and sound. Everything else is unimportant to her.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Qianmo grabbed the phone and threw it to the ground. The screen shattered into pieces, just like her broken mood at the moment.

"Go to Gu Cheng! Now! I want to see Li Hongxuan in person! I want him to become a pawn in my revenge plan!"

There was a crazy gleam in Jiang Qianmo's eyes. She couldn't wait to implement her plan and make Gu Ranle feel despair and pain at the family recognition party three days later.

At this moment, she was completely immersed in her fantasy of revenge, and no one could stop her or match her.

*

In order to facilitate the treatment of Mr. Luo, Fu Hanting arranged Gu Ranle's bedroom next to Mr. Luo's.

After the acupuncture session, she returned to the next room.

As soon as I turned on the computer and logged into the chat software, I received a message from A-Lu.

[You're already covered in shit, but you still want to stir up trouble: Boss, someone is spending five million to find out your background.]

[The Five Elements are lacking in morality but not in money: Did you accept the order?]

[You're already covered in shit, but you still want to stir up trouble: Of course, if pie falls from the sky, why not take it? This money is so easy to make. But don't worry, boss, I know my limits and I didn't reveal everything.]

[The five elements lack morality but not money: For example?]

[The shit is already falling on you, but you still want to stir it up: For example, the boss is no longer pursuing Li Hongxuan and is now going back to his old love.]

[You are not short of money even though you lack virtue in the five elements: You are still smart.]

[Shit is pouring down on your head but you still want to stir it up: Thank you for the compliment, boss. I have one more thing to report to you, the fat otaku is missing.]

The "fat otaku" that A-lu mentioned was the man he took to the house in the old town that day.

The day before yesterday at noon, the fat otaku and Bai Yanlan agreed on a meeting place, but the deal failed because neither side had a sense of martial ethics.

Last night, the fat otaku contacted A-lu, and the other party asked him to meet again, and let him decide the time and place.

They were scheduled to meet at ten o'clock this morning on the famous pedestrian street in the city center.

And until now, A Lu has not been able to contact the fat otaku.

He guessed that the fat otaku must have been caught.

[The five elements lack morality but not money: He should contact you soon. If the other party cannot get useful information from him, he will definitely contact you. Don't worry, wait patiently.]

[He's already covered in shit, but he still wants to stir up trouble: Boss, the people investigating you are from the capital. When did you offend the people there?]

Gu Ranle could probably guess who was investigating her.

Li Shenzhi called again.

Gu Ranle looked at the caller ID on the phone screen and suddenly regretted that she had been so soft-hearted and released him from the blacklist yesterday.

Just as my finger was about to press the hang-up button, there was a sudden "ding dong" sound in my head.

[Favorability-10]

[Host's current favorability: 0]

Gu Ranle's finger turned and pressed on the green button.

"Bao, guess what I received?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Shenzhi's voice was filled with hard-to-disguise pride. Even through the screen, Gu Ranle could clearly feel the arrogance.

She was now 100% certain that this guy's personality had completely collapsed.

"Were these shares generously gifted to you by your sister?" she tested with a casual tone.

"No, guess again."

"Could it be a passionate confession from a certain beautiful lady?"

"No, keep guessing."

"Is that Li Tingsheng's critical illness notice?"

"wrong--"

"No, no, no! No more guessing!"

"Baby, don't be angry. I won't tease you anymore." Li Shenzhi laughed, "Fu Hanting personally sent me an invitation letter, inviting me to attend your family recognition banquet in three days."

"Oh? Really?" Gu Ranle deliberately filled her voice with joy. "It seems that I was wrong before. The Luo family still values ​​you very much!"

"Of course," Li Shenzhi said with pride, "I am your legitimate fiancé after all!"

Gu Ranle secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, but then she thought, his favorability had just increased by 10 points, so she was too lazy to attack him.

"So, my dear fiancé, have you thought about what gift you want to give your dear fiancée?"

"It has been prepared, but it needs to be kept secret for now."

“It’s quite mysterious!”

"Otherwise there will be no surprises then."

"Don't let the surprise turn into a shock."

"I can't do that. Bao, I have something to confess to you. I suspect Song Yu is interested in me."

"???"

Gu Ranle gently pushed the computer aside and sank lazily into the sofa, looking very relaxed.

"Brother Shenzhi, can you tell me in detail what this 'interesting' thing is? It sounds quite subtle."

On the other end of the phone, after a brief silence, Li Shenzhi's voice carried a hint of indescribable shyness and seriousness.

"Baby, I have to make it clear to you first that my sexual orientation is normal. I only like the opposite sex, and my heart and eyes are full of you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ranle's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and he thought to himself, your desire to survive is quite strong!

"Well, I have always believed that."

Li Shenzhi seemed relieved and continued, "It's like this. When Song Yu gave me acupuncture last night, he actually took off my underwear. He said he wanted to target that...special part of my body for my health. I was really shocked at the time. I felt like he wanted to take advantage of me!"

Gu Ranle: “…”

Gu Ranle wanted to say, "My Uncle Song, who is straighter than steel, is mentally ill. He is interested in a disabled man like you."

The words were already on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back.

She was afraid that her favorability, which had finally reached the positive and negative dividing point, would drop again.

In fact, she was the one who asked Song Yu to have acupuncture on that part.

The slow-acting poison that had been given to him before would not pose a temporary threat to his life, but it would damage his foundation.

Although he went to the hospital for treatment in time, it was only a temporary solution and not a cure.

If you want to completely eradicate the effects of toxins, you still need to use acupuncture treatment.

That's why she asked Song Yu to give him acupuncture in that area.

"And what happened next? How did you cope with it?"

Gu Ranle tried her best to make her voice sound relaxed and curious.

"You know, I'm disabled, so I can't put up any fierce resistance." Li Shenzhi's tone was somewhat helpless, "But I'm a virgin, I definitely didn't let him succeed! I'm still innocent!"

Gu Ranle couldn't help laughing and chuckled, "Well, I believe you are still innocent. But, Bao, do you think there is a possibility that Uncle Song is really treating you?"

Li Shenzhi didn't quite believe it and asked, "Then why didn't he mention where he wanted acupuncture before?"

Gu Ranle patiently explained, "Maybe he didn't notice the problem in that area before, or he felt that the time was not right. The chronic toxins in your body, although not harmful at the moment, will damage the body in the long run. Acupuncture is a good way to regulate the body, and Uncle Song is doing this for your own good."

After hearing this, Li Shenzhi seemed to be shaken. "What you said makes sense, but I will still remain vigilant. After all, this concerns my innocence and dignity."

"Of course, we should remain vigilant. Well, if you're fine, hang up now."

Gu Ranle wanted to end the call, but Li Shenzhi was obviously not satisfied yet.

He was finally released from the small dark room, and he didn't know when he would have to go back in again, so he tried to say a few more words while they were still on the phone.

"Bao, I miss you. Can I go see you early today?"

"Be good, I still want to keep some mystery. Just hold on a little longer, and we'll be able to meet in three days. It'll be quick."

"But one day without you feels like three years."

Gu Ranle was a little speechless, "Even if we meet, can you see me? Isn't it the same as calling me? Let's not be pretentious, okay?"

Li Shenzhi was addicted to acting, "Baby, I love you so much, but I feel like you don't love me at all, I'm so sad, I..."

Just act 30% of the time, any more will be disgusting.

Gu Ranle rolled her eyes, cut off the conversation, and quickly blacklisted him again.

This kind of drama queen deserves to stay in a small dark room and never be released.

Throwing the phone aside, Gu Ranle was just about to lie down on the bed when he heard a noisy sound outside the door.

She opened the door and saw that in addition to the medical staff, there were several unfamiliar faces in the corridor, both men and women, young and old.

"Boss, we just want to see the old man, why don't you let us in?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Luo Zekai.

My blind guess is that it’s one of the old man’s sons.

Gu Ranle leaned against the door frame, looking like he was watching a show.

"That's right, Boss. Although the old man has handed over the company to you to manage and you are the head of the company, we are still your elders at home. Your second uncle and I can't take your brothers and sisters to see your grandfather. Why can't we? You didn't let us see him in the hospital, and now you still don't let us see him when we are home. What on earth do you want to do?"

"Brother, we haven't seen grandpa for a long time, can you let us in to see him?"

"Yes, big brother, we all miss grandpa. We promise not to disturb grandpa's rest."

"Big brother..."

The five members of the family were talking to each other, and Gu Ranle felt a headache just listening to them.

She admired Fu Hanting very much. Even at this time, he could still stand there without changing his expression.

If it were her, she would have been kicked out long ago.

At this time, the daughter of Fu Hanting's second uncle's family locked her eyes sharply, her brows furrowed, as if she had discovered something unforgivable.

"Are you the new granddaughter that Grandpa has adopted?"

Her tone was full of disdain and doubt, and she pressed forward step by step as she spoke until she reached Gu Ranle.

Gu Ranle remained calm and composed, not moving an inch, allowing those scrutinizing eyes to wander over her body.

"Oh, she looks like a vixen."

The woman's comments were sharp and sarcastic, and her words revealed jealousy and malice that were difficult to conceal.

Hearing this, Gu Ranle curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, which contained a bit of amusement and calmness.

"Oh, thank you for the compliment. It's an honor to receive such an evaluation."

She immediately returned the look, looked the other person up and down, and shook her head.

"However, in comparison, your appearance seems a bit stiff. You can barely be considered an 'alternative' fairy."

"You!" The woman's face suddenly changed, her fingers clenched into fists, making a "clucking" sound, and her sneer was mixed with anger, "What a sharp-tongued thing, it seems that you just used this mouth to make my grandfather happy, right?"
