Happy! The Wealthy Stepmom Just Needs to Lie Down and Count Money - Chapter 586

One Awake, One Asleep

Regarding the System's "reasonable deduction," Yu Jingmo commented: A bit difficult to evaluate, yet undeniably reasonable.

With this kind of noisy quarrel, Gu Xiujing is definitely going to remember Lin Qingchuan.

She doesn't care about Gu Xiujing and Peng Ning'er's relationship; she only cares about the personal safety of her family.

"What's their state after the quarrel?"

【Peng Ning'er was so angry she ran off, crying and cursing in the car!】

Yu Jingmo twitched her eyes; she was indeed quite angry.

According to the description in the original book, no matter how many worries she has, Peng Ning'er is always full of vitality and bright sunshine.

At least, that's how it appeared on the surface. She's never been like this before, cursing uncontrollably in the car.

【Gu Xiujing was also incredibly angry!】

The System, having recently watched something unknown, has imbued its electronic voice with the rising and falling intonation of a storyteller.

【The woman sitting next to him was called over by his underlings. He was in a bad mood and didn't pay her any attention, but she was spotted by Peng Ning'er the moment she sat down. Peng Ning'er then pointed her nose at her, mocking her relentlessly, and then the beatings and smashing began, frightening her terribly!】

It also watched this scene from the bar's surveillance footage; it didn't see it live, otherwise it would have been even more exciting!

The System felt a bit of regret, manifested in its electron particles forming the shape of a sigh.

But its two small, bean-shaped eyes were lifted, creating short, upward curving lines – an incongruous look, more like it was feigning composure and gloating.

It seems utterly unaware of this, diligently maintaining its system setting of reluctantly struggling against changing the plot.

Yu Jingmo thought of some sad stories to suppress her urge to burst out laughing.

After a light cough, she asked, "And now?"

The System didn't detect anything amiss; hearing Yu Jingmo's question, it spoke even more excitedly:

【Last night, Gu Xiujing drank like water, vomiting repeatedly until he was sent home in the middle of the night. He hasn't woken up yet! Peng Ning'er was angry all night, crying and cursing, without even sleeping!】

"..."

Yu Jingmo didn't know what to say for a moment.

At that moment, a noise came from outside the study. Lin Qingchuan walked in, pushing a food cart!

Yu Jingmo was startled. Ignoring the System, she asked bewilderedly, "How much is there?"

She thought that even if it wasn't small snacks, there would be at most one or two small desserts. This looked like more than one or two!

Lin Qingchuan's mood was also complicated. "Old Master Lin told me to get it directly from the kitchen. He's researching new products recently."

Not much time had passed since breakfast. They certainly couldn't finish it all; at most, they would try each one.

That's what she thought, but by lunchtime, Yu Jingmo had eaten almost half of it by herself—she could skip lunch.

After Lin Qingchuan wheeled the cart back in the morning, she didn't speak much to the System. She asked it to monitor the online situation, and it immediately agreed.

She quickly forgot her previous worries and happily surfed the internet, without speaking again.

Yu Jingmo stretched, then glanced at Lin Qingchuan's progress.

She was shocked at what she saw; he was almost finished!

Except for the time he went out to get food, he hadn't left since. He only got up to walk and look into the distance when Yu Jingmo reminded him; he would then sit back down after five minutes.

Looking at this, it seems finishing it in a morning isn't so unbelievable?

Watching Lin Qingchuan finish the last item, Yu Jingmo praised, "As expected of our Chuan Ge, your efficiency is top-notch!"

"..."

For the past few months, whether at school or at home, various praises have constantly flowed into his ears.

Lin Qingchuan had gone from initial discomfort to now appearing much calmer, though not quite impassive.

But no matter how calm his expression, only he knows what he feels inside.

He pursed his lips, suppressing the upward curve of his mouth, his voice normal: "Anything else? I'm free this afternoon."
