Bai Weiwei snorted coldly.
Liang Shi's phone vibrated slightly. She took it out and saw that it was a voice message from Qiu Zimin.
She clicked to convert it to text, but accidentally clicked play instead.
Qiu Zimin's voice rang out in the ward, "7:30 tonight at Cangyue Hotel, no lateness allowed. Even if you change your mind, you'll have to explain it to Zhou Yi'an yourself. I won't..."
Liang Shi had been frantically clicking the wrong button, but finally pressed pause.
But I've listened to everything I was supposed to hear.
Everyone in the ward looked unwell.
Liang Shi immediately said, "Xu Qingzhu, I can explain."
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingzhu lay down and covered herself with the blanket, her voice very calm, "Go out, I'm tired."
Liang Shi: "..."
At this rate, she won't even get 80 luck points in her next life!
Chapter 15
Why don't we just get a divorce?
The thought briefly crossed Liang Shi's mind.
This job can't be done.
The original owner left behind a huge mess, like a tangled mess with no end in sight, impossible to untangle.
When she came out of Xu Qingzhu's hospital room, Bai Weiwei was still trying to persuade Xu Qingzhu to get a divorce.
Xu Qingzhu didn't react much, her expression was indifferent, and although her complexion wasn't good, she didn't mention divorce.
But Liang Shi was never good at handling such matters.
Interpersonal relationships are so difficult.
She almost lost her temper and started arguing with Bai Weiwei.
Even without arguing, I was still in a bad mood when I left the ward.
This damn system, what kind of lousy tasks are they giving me!
The original owner was such a scumbag, couldn't we just kill him?
Why can't Xu Qingzhu be widowed young, with money and leisure, and live an ordinary life?
They insisted that she go and win over Xu Qingzhu.
Liang Shi sat on a bench in the hospital for a while.
This is a path that people often come to cool off in the summer. In the autumn, fewer people come. In addition, the weather has been bad recently, and the autumn wind is getting colder day by day. The hospital is full of people who are not in good health, so this place is very secluded.
She gulped down a bellyful of ice water, which calmed her down a little.
Even clay figures have a temper.
People used to say that Liang Shi lived like an immortal.
Her assistant, Jingjing, often says that Teacher Liang is like a celestial being descended from heaven, never getting angry.
Faced with Jingjing's teasing, Liang Shi smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated."
She just felt it was unnecessary.
But her current situation makes her feel very tired.
She could understand that the system had given her a new opportunity, so it had to make her do some things, in other words, pay some price.
But if I don't tell her anything, what can she do?
Is it really just a rotten wooden sword that forces her to challenge the evil dragon?
That's too challenging.
The autumn sky changes very quickly. The sun was just hanging in the sky when large patches of dark clouds moved in and covered the sky, making it look gloomy and like a storm was about to break.
The autumn wind swirled up fallen leaves, and withered branches and leaves were blown away in a twilight.
Liang Shi sneezed, and after a while, she took out her phone to reply to Qiu Zimin's message: "I understand, I'll be there on time."
Just keep living.
Let's take it one step at a time.
At this point, there is no better solution.
Liang Shi has no intention of cleaning up the mess left by the original owner.
Isn't being yourself happy?
Anyway, she probably won't live much longer.
As for the system?
Do whatever you want.
What does it have to do with her?
Having figured these things out, Liang Shi felt much better.
Even the speed at which messages were sent back to Qiu Zimin increased.
“That’s good.” Qiu Zimin quickly sent a voice message. “You know the Zhou family’s power. Your father has recently taken a fancy to a piece of land in the south of the city. Whether it can be approved depends on Zhou Liye, so take this opportunity to get along well with Yi’an.”
Liang Shi: "...?"
"Yi'an likes you, everyone knows that." Qiu Zimin sent another voice message, which was still very long. "Don't take advantage of her liking you and do whatever you want. Things are different now than before. You need to know that the Zhou family is not what they used to be. They've gotten in touch with the Shen family and have risen to prominence overnight. If you still want your dad to provide financing for the Xu family, then don't be foolish and talk to Yi'an properly."
Liang Shi: "..."
She listened to the audio twice and tried her best to do reading comprehension.
Later, it was converted to text.
I think I understood.
However, the first question that came to her mind was: the original owner of this body was such a piece of trash, so why did Zhou Yi'an like her?
Are you blind?
Even though Liang Shi had never met Qiu Zimin in person, he simply replied via screen: "Understood."
A standard, conventional answer.
She turned off her phone screen and sighed almost imperceptibly.
"What are you thinking about?" A cool voice suddenly rang in my ears.
This startled Liang Shi.
Her eyelids twitched, and she clutched her chest, leaning back slightly. Just then, she looked up and saw the person who had come to her – Xu Qingzhu.
Liang Shi let out a soft sigh, "You startled me." Then she complained in a low voice, "Don't you make any noise when you walk?"
"Yes." Xu Qingzhu sat on the bench not far from her. The buttons of her white cardigan were undone and swayed in the wind, making her look ethereal. Even her voice had a cool and ethereal quality. "You were too engrossed in your thoughts and didn't hear me."
"Okay." Liang Shi took another swig of ice water and casually asked, "What do you want?"
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?" Xu Qingzhu retorted.
“…Yes.” Liang Shi pressed his temples and gave her a quick glance from the side.
Yes, it looks pretty good.
She looked away.
After a while, Xu Qingzhu said softly, "Thank you."
Liang Shi was taken aback. "Huh?"
What are you thanking me for?
“You took me back to the hospital yesterday,” Xu Qingzhu said. “And, about Ya Ya.”
"It's nothing," Liang Shi said. "I just did it on the spur of the moment. Besides, you're my wife."
Liang Shi said it offhand, but immediately realized how awkward it was.
Doesn't this look a lot like sexual harassment?!
Having lived in that world for a long time, Liang Shi was a little paranoid.
Fortunately, Xu Qingzhu didn't react much; she just softly repeated the two words—wife.
Liang Shi felt a burning sensation in his ears, and the glands behind his ears felt itchy.
She rubbed her ears. "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."
She also wanted to calm down for a while.
Only after calming down completely can I figure out how to win over Xu Qingzhu and complete the system task.
"Liang Shi," Xu Qingzhu called out to her.
"What is it?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu paused for a moment, then asked, "Is the Liang family facing a crisis?"
Liang Shi: "?"
"I don't know," Liang Shi replied matter-of-factly. "I never really care about the company's operations."
With Liang Xinzhou and Liang Xinhe around, she doesn't even go to the company.
The original owner was a good-for-nothing rich kid.
"Have you heard anything?" Liang Shi asked.
Xu Qingzhu pursed her lips, looked up at her, and their eyes met.
After a moment, she asked, "Then why did you go to see Zhou Yi'an?"
