Favoritism towards Xu Qingya 1
Triggering Xu Qingzhu's grievances 1
Trigger Xu Qingzhu's anger 1
Note: The final interpretation right belongs to the Resentment Management Bureau.
Liang Shi: "..."
What kind of garbage system is this?!
"Does that mean I'll accumulate resentment points whenever I anger Xu Qingzhu?" Liang Shi asked coldly.
System: [That's how it should be, in theory.]
Liang Shi was furious, but before she could speak, the system reassured her: "Don't worry, we're just following the rules. You can do whatever you want from now on."
Knowing it was in the wrong, the system even started to act cute.
As long as you complete the task properly, this punishment will not be repeated.
"What if I don't?" Liang Shi asked rhetorically.
System: […Give me a chance.]
Liang Shi: "?"
System: [Your luck score has reached ten. A small gift of 30,000 RMB will be awarded to you immediately.]
Liang Shi: "...?"
Is this a case of slapping someone and then giving them a sweet treat?
Her phone then vibrated slightly; she had received a bank transfer notification from an unknown account, accompanied by the message: "Your performance has greatly satisfied your target. Keep up the good work! ^-^"
Liang Shi was speechless. All she wanted to do right now was smash this system to pieces!
Screw your little expressions.
Before she could ask any more questions, the system had already vanished, displaying the message: "Other mission takers are calling me, I'm off. Good luck!"
"Add oil to farts," Liang Shi complained.
Xu Qingzhu, who was bandaging her wound, was just tying the last knot of the bandage, and even tied it into a bow.
It doesn't quite match the strong Alpha temperament.
Looking at the face of his target, Liang Shi seemed to... calm down a little.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingzhu suddenly raised her head, looked directly at her, and parted her lips slightly, "You..."
He paused, a smile playing on his lips, and though it was a rhetorical question, he spoke with certainty: "It's not Liang Shi, is it?"
Chapter 10
Pedestrians hurried along the road, and people kept brushing past them, occasionally hearing a few words of praise.
Everyone is praising Xu Qingzhu.
Xu Qingzhu tied the ribbon on her hand with a bow, withdrew her slender fingers, and maintained a proper distance from Liang Shi.
A faint smile graced her face, but her eyes were cold and calm, like a still, ancient well, exuding a cool and aloof temperament.
Liang Shi's gaze fell on her eyes, then quickly looked away.
It's not that I didn't expect to be discovered.
I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Her personality was the complete opposite of the original owner's; one was lively and the other was quiet and reserved; one was wild and unrestrained, the other was quiet and introverted. It was impossible for her not to be out of character when she transmigrated into this body.
But now... it doesn't seem like a good time to admit it.
Liang Shixian tensed up for a moment, then smiled and said, "No."
Xu Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, her smile widening, her gaze on her intensifying as if she wanted to see what was inside that shell, whether it was a person or a ghost.
But Liang Shi tilted his head back and chuckled softly, "If I'm not Liang Shi, then who else could I be?"
Her smile was warm, like a spring breeze, like a bright moon, and her eyes were filled with tenderness.
He stared intently at Xu Qingzhu, his gaze devoid of any aggression.
Completely different from the original.
"Who knows?" Xu Qingzhu's voice was clear and cool, with a hint of etherealness. "Perhaps only you know?"
"What are you saying?" Liang Shiyi gently touched his forehead with his bandaged hand, seemingly helpless. "Of course I know, I am Liang Shiyi."
"Is that so?" Xu Qingzhu smiled, but her smile held an unfathomable depth.
This smile was very similar to the kind Liang Shi often saw at the negotiating table.
She thought that if Xu Qingzhu hadn't married the original owner of this body and become a full-time housewife, she would probably be a very good career woman.
In fact, in the novel, Xu Qingzhu, after leaving the scumbag A, will be reborn and become the president of a listed company.
Liang Shih hopes his partner has a job.
Because work represents confidence.
A lover's affection may change, but one's own abilities will not.
To love others, you must first love yourself.
Liang Shi's thoughts wandered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. Meeting Xu Qingzhu's deep gaze without flinching, she smiled and said, "Of course. Otherwise, am I a different person? How about I reintroduce myself? I'm Liang Shi's sister, Liang He?"
She deliberately used a joking tone to ease the atmosphere.
Xu Qingzhu stared at her without moving, her smile frozen on her face, as if trying to see right through her.
Liang Shi's palms were sweating.
To be honest, being stared at like that is very intimidating.
In particular, Xu Qingzhu was deliberately putting pressure on her.
She wore a perfect smile on her face and didn't rush to speak, waiting for Xu Qingzhu to speak first.
After a long silence, Xu Qingzhu smiled and said, "Really? Liang He."
Her voice was cool yet alluring as she softly uttered the name, almost pausing each syllable as if she were gently tickling the tip of someone's heart with a feather. With each word, Liang Shi's heart trembled, and she even secretly swallowed.
It seems... because the target's looks and voice are so outstanding, she's a little... out of control.
After all, he is the number one Omega in the sea, the object of desire for countless Alphas.
"Hmm." Liang Shi was panicking inside, but she didn't show it on her face. After all, she had won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress. She couldn't afford to lose to someone with no acting skills. "I think this name is not bad either."
“But Liang Shi didn’t have a younger sister,” Xu Qingzhu said. “She only had two older sisters and one older brother.”
Liang Shi clicked his tongue inwardly.
She really is the female lead; she's so smart.
Is this how they try to scam her?
Fortunately, she knew some of the details.
"Really?" Liang Shi smiled. "I haven't been in touch for a long time. I didn't even know that one of my brothers had undergone gender reassignment surgery. I don't know if it was Liang Xinzhou or Liang Xinhe who had the surgery?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Qingzhu's eyes. "So you still remember."
“Of course, it would be too much of a jerk if I couldn’t even remember my own siblings,” Liang Shi said.
After saying that, he added in his mind, "They're not even my biological siblings."
The original owner's biological parents are probably still somewhere out there.
In typical novels, the parents of this cannon fodder female supporting character must be terrible people. They are either after money or power, and are generally short-sighted and materialistic petty citizens, which is why they would do something like swapping daughters.
Liang Shi did not hold out much hope for this.
She only hopes that if she ever finds her biological parents, they won't be a burden to her.
“If Xinzhou and Xinhe heard this, they would probably be moved to tears.” Xu Qingzhu’s words carried a hint of sarcasm, which Liang Shi readily accepted. However, she looked at Xu Qingzhu and said, “You don’t seem like Xu Qingzhu at all.”
"Really?" Xu Qingzhu glanced over indifferently, throwing the question back at her, "Then who do I look like to you?"
"I don't know." Liang Shi shook his head gently, his gaze tender. "I'm afraid only you know the answer."
She effortlessly deflected the question, returning the topic to Xu Qingzhu.
“Liang Shi prefers to use his right hand,” Xu Qingzhu said. “But you seem to be left-handed. You always carry things with your left hand, and even when you get a cut, it’s your right hand.”
Liang Shi was surprised that Xu Qingzhu was so observant. She smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite handy with both hands. If you don't believe me, you can ask my parents."
Xu Qingzhu would definitely not ask Liang's parents about this matter.
Liang Shi's parents originally disagreed with his marriage to Xu Qingzhu.
Liang Shi only liked Xu Qingzhu's reputation and her face, but Liang's parents valued family background more. If Liang's parents were to choose, they would definitely choose Liang Shi's childhood sweetheart, Lin Xingcan, the daughter of Shengmao Group.
Back then, the original owner of this body had a huge fight with his family in order to marry Xu Qingzhu.
Liang Shi still had this memory lingering in her mind, so she couldn't understand why the original owner's personality changed drastically after marriage and endlessly bullied Xu Qingzhu.
"Really? I didn't know that." Xu Qingzhu stood up from the bench. The wind blew her long hair and skirt, and her slender waist looked perfect for hugging in the autumn.
She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "You look like you've changed a lot."
She spoke very softly, mostly tentatively.
Liang Shi easily called back, "You've changed a lot too."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingzhu suddenly turned to look at her, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Specifically?"
“He’s become cold and distant,” Liang Shi said. “And he even hates me.”
Xu Qingzhu smiled.
She was facing Liang Shi, looking down at him with her brown eyes appearing indifferent and detached. "That's because..."
She paused, then said, "I don't like you anymore."
