Chapter 75: There’s Something Between Su Qingli and Shen Ci

Su Qingli rolled her eyes at him, then looked up at the enormous photograph and questioned, her voice tinged with existential doubt, “Where did this photo come from? I don’t even have it myself.”

“I’m the CEO,” he replied.

“I’m the person in the picture and I don’t even have one!” she countered.

“Well, now you do.”

...

Li Jingzhi sat dazed on the sofa, and after a while finally realized she ought to do something. In any case, today’s date absolutely could not turn into a sparring match again.

Yan Seventeen did her best to comfort her, called for Sha Nuan to bring water and wash her face, but even so, her red-rimmed eyes could not be concealed. There was no way she could bring herself to go to Yanyi Hall for dinner, so she asked Yan Seventeen to go and apologize on her behalf, and Mrs. Gao hurriedly left.

No one had expected the plant’s vitality to be so tenacious; even when it was reduced to nothing but a bud, it could still leap up and bite. That was the power of plants: if an animal were left with only a head, it would have long since perished.

This was also the main reason she could calmly accept Wang Li sharing Li Kang with her from the beginning. Another reason was that she knew Li Kang and Wang Li had been together in a previous life. In that sense, she was only the later arrival.

“Hmph, it’s definitely not like that. I’m not clueless. That car is worth at least five hundred thousand, and just for a business partnership you’d give my dad such a good car, but you yourself drive something so ugly.” Dai Jia was dissatisfied with Li Kang’s answer and pouted in protest.

Since the whole purpose of coming to the moon this time was to retrieve that Firebat-class alien spaceship, now was the time to begin.

Sister Xiangling couldn’t help but laugh; she had long heard of Manager Sun Jiayi’s reputation—after all, she sometimes went to the county town herself.

After settling things a bit, the police took the main troublemakers into the interrogation room, while the others were led into an empty holding cell.

As they explored further, Dai Dong frowned and said, “Xiu Yue, what do you plan to do here?” Su Xiu Yue looked around. This section of the road wound along the mountainside; if they wanted to pave it, there were only two options.

“There’s a lot you could help us with. I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you and see if you agree,” the policeman said with a smile.

“Grandma, you just rest well. I’ll go out and see what I can find. Maybe by the time I come back tonight, I’ll have gotten us something tasty!” Lianshan said hopefully, ready to get up and leave.

Lan Jingjing and Lan Zengzai had taken on the responsibility of looking after Yi Ning. Meng Xingchen nodded in agreement; it would be good for everyone to strengthen their bonds, and she herself would make time to come and talk with her more.

Yet although Yin Yihang considered giving them the money, he would never let this group go unpunished. They’d dared to harm Enze—how could he possibly hand over the money?

However, this goal was bound to be opposed by both demons and humans. Although Lan Jingjing and Lan Zengzai longed to see that day, was Meng Xingchen strong enough to bear the weight of this era’s great mission?

Now, hearing Mu Haotian absolve her, her heart brimmed with delight. She was nearly ready to dance with joy.

The conference hall was so quiet one could hear an ant being crushed. The air conditioning was working perfectly; the cold seemed to wash through every overheated heart, as if it had been plunged into an icy river and cleansed to its core.

“You’re drunk!” Can Can could feel Qiao Muchen’s breath growing ragged. She twisted, anxious to push him away. She feared that even if Qiao Muchen didn’t lose control from drink, she herself would be unable to resist the allure in his eyes.

“What beautiful, fragrant lilies!” Wang Xuemei gazed happily at the large bouquet in Chen Erpao’s hands, the happiness on her face beyond words.
