Before Liang Shi could think of a suitable adjective, Xu Qingzhu said, "Our poor teacher Liang is so wronged. He cries under the covers if he isn't comforted."
Liang Shi: "..."
She couldn't help but reply, "Yes, I feel wronged."
Xu Qingzhu's pupils contracted, as if to say—you dare to accept this?
Liang Shi pursed her lips, no longer as timid as before, "Then someone has to suffer the injustice."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
“Teacher Xu doesn’t feel wronged, but I feel wronged on Teacher Xu’s behalf.” Liang Shi spoke in the same tone as Xu Qingzhu.
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
She pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth, and after a moment smiled, "Then I thank Teacher Liang for all my grievances."
Liang Shi: "..."
"Teacher Liang took the time out of her busy schedule to go to such lengths for me," Xu Qingzhu said. "I feel truly honored."
Liang Shi: "..."
Every word is clearly a positive one, but you can still detect a hint of a negative one in it.
In terms of being sarcastic and unsettling, Liang Shi lost.
However, Liang Shi still stood up, bowed deeply to her, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry."
Xu Qingzhu waved her hand, "Alright, let's go eat. There's no need to be so pretentious."
Liang, the pretentious and eccentric man, followed her out of the ward.
Seeing her slightly red eyes, Zhao Xuning couldn't help but tease, "So pitiful?"
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi, who had just lost a round, glared at her, nipping all her sarcastic remarks in the bud.
Liang Shi pretended to be fierce and said, "Shut up!"
//
Liang Shi still cared about Zhao Xuning's claim that this body had a sex addiction.
She was hesitant to engage with things that made her anxious, and even went to see a psychiatrist.
However, her mental state is currently her own, and there are some things about her that science cannot explain, so mental testing is useless for her and has not revealed the illness.
Liang Shi later reviewed the medical records he had retrieved from Zheng Feiran several times, but did not find anything particularly unusual.
However, the original owner did indeed have mental health issues.
This unhealthy state is related to everything she suffered in the Liang family.
Most of them were brought to her by Qiu Zimin.
Liang Shi hadn't forgotten a dream she'd had before, in which she was sent to be played with, and Qiu Zimin even told her that she did a great job.
Who is the person in that memory?
Although the memory only appeared because of seeing Zhou Yi'an, Liang Shi could be certain that it wasn't Zhou Yi'an.
At that time, Zhou Yi'an was still abroad and it was impossible for her to make a deal with Qiu Zimin.
It might be a family that is slightly more powerful than the Liang family.
Qiu Zimin deceived the original owner for a little bit of benefit, or perhaps she simply gave the original owner to someone with a perverse sense of humor.
Anyway, her goal wasn't for profit, but to drive the original owner insane.
In a sense, she has already succeeded.
The medical record also revealed that the original owner had no memories before the age of eight.
Just like her.
So they had swapped partners once before the age of eight.
It could also happen multiple times.
She also subtly inquired about Liang Xinzhou, who said that she was quite similar to her childhood self, but that her personality had become somewhat abnormal after the kidnapping incident.
Liang Shi had no recollection of that kidnapping case.
It wasn't in the original owner's memories either.
No one could answer her questions; the useless system couldn't offer her any help.
After Qiu Zimin fell into a coma last time, Liang Shi did not return to the old house and continued to go to work as usual.
The injury on her shoulder healed quickly, and she thrived at the company.
Both Liang Xinzhou and Liang Xinhe came to see her, trying to get information out of her indirectly.
She always said, "My relationship with Mom isn't as simple as it seems. You can ask Mom for details."
It was obvious that Qiu Zimin wouldn't reveal that much information to them.
Liang Shi simply said to them in a friendly manner, "Even if one day I no longer bear the surname Liang, I will still be your sister if you are still willing to acknowledge me."
She gave all the choices back to the other party.
Liang Xinzhou also spoke frankly with her, saying, "No matter what, I consider you my sister."
Liang Shi bumped fists with him, "Thank you, brother. I'll give my niece a big red envelope when she's born."
Liang Xinzhou laughed: "Then you'd better work hard to earn money."
"You don't need to worry about that."
Liang Shi's only connections with the old family home were her two older brothers and sisters-in-law. She also went to Yunfeng Mountain once, but still came up empty-handed.
Not only was Master Yunyin absent, but the old man who had told her fortune last time was also gone.
She did not accept Zhao Xuning's help, but instead looked for a suitable house on various rental websites.
He kept calculating his finances and making various plans for his future.
When Liang Shi received his first month's salary, autumn had fully arrived in Haizhou City. The weather was bleak, and the leaves on the roadside trees had turned yellow and fallen to the ground.
That day also happened to be the day when the official poster for "Yu Guang" was released and the main cast was announced, as well as the day when Minghui Jewelry's autumn collection went on sale at various counters and on its official website.
Liang Shi sent Xu Qingzhu the bank transfer notification: 【Are you busy, Teacher Xu? I'll treat you to dinner.】
Xu Qingzhu replied instantly: 【Teacher Liang, the salary is quite high.】
Liang Shi: [It's alright, just enough to make ends meet.]
Xu Qingzhu: [I might only have time tonight.]
Liang Shi: [I know, it's your company's flagship product launch. My budget is limited, so I'll just buy one as a token of my support for Professor Xu's career.]
Xu Qingzhu: [...]
After a long pause, she sent a message: "I think you're being sarcastic."
Liang Shi: [No, I really mean it.]
Xu Qingzhu: [Then don't buy it, I saved one for you.]
set.
It's not one.
It's the entire collection, every single piece.
Liang Shi was surprised by Xu Qingzhu's generosity, after all, their company's products were not cheap.
It can be considered to have entered the ranks of high-end luxury goods.
Liang Shi immediately said, "No! Sell it for money, I can't hold you back."
Xu Qingzhu: 【…Then remember to transfer the money.】
Liang Shi: [...]
That's quite a bold move.
However, Liang Shi didn't transfer the money to her yet, planning to transfer it after seeing the actual item.
They had arranged to have dinner together.
At 2 PM, the official Weibo account of "Yu Guang" released the character posters and tagged all the main actors.
In order to make himself appear completely innocent, Liang Shi deliberately registered a new account.
She has a thorough understanding of this industry, so as soon as the official announcement was released, she immediately went to like, comment, and share.
In order to gain more followers for her, Zhao Ying directly reposted her Weibo post.
But at the same time, a hashtag #MinghuiJewelryHeiressAssaultsSomeone# quietly appeared and climbed higher and higher.
By evening, this hashtag had surpassed the trending topics purchased by the "Yu Guang" production team, followed by a small orange #boiling#.
Meanwhile, another hashtag, #MinghuiJewelryHeiressChenLiuying#, also appeared in the latest search results, surpassing the hashtag #MinghuiJewelryAutumnNewArrivalsAreSoBeautiful#.
Chapter 57
Jingyi Culture's office on the seventh floor.
The woman in the light gray suit leaned back, letting all her weight fall onto the swivel chair, one hand on the armrest and the other holding her phone with the screen upside down.
The green plants in the office have withered and turned yellow, and the cactus on the desk is gray and lifeless.
Two computers were placed on the light wood desk, both of them turned on.
Messages kept popping up at the bottom of the computer screen.
One computer had Weibo on its screen, while the other had a green social media app.
The trending topics on Weibo are varied, but a few are easy to notice.
