Wen Zhuqing had to admit that he had underestimated Li Juan. He initially thought she was just an ordinary-looking girl with an ordinary life, but he never expected her to be so deep, even to some extent seeing through his true nature.
Li Juan didn't seem to expect an immediate response from Wen Zhuqing.
It seemed after saying a confession, she mustered her courage and reached out to touch Wen Zhuqing's hand.
Seeing Wen Zhuqing keep his lips pursed but not rejecting her, she was even more delighted.
The touch only lasted a moment; soon, she turned and went back to her room.
Wen Zhuqing watched her back, his eyes darkening.
Back in his room, Wen Zhuqing picked up a towel and carefully wiped the hand that Li Juan had just touched, his eyes gradually turning cold, a sneer on his lips.
What kind of nobody can be his equal? Ridiculous.
Whether Li Juan saw or knew, Wen Zhuqing didn't care much. She had no proof; even if she spoke out, no one would believe her.
It's just a pity those pigs were saved.
Wen Zhuqing truly didn't expect that Gu Jia Ning would actually possess medical skills and really see the pigs' problem.
It seems his past understanding of Gu Jia Ning was too limited.
Coupled with Gu Jia Ning's coldness and "abandonment" these days, Wen Zhuqing, who originally only used Gu Jia Ning as a stepping stone and lusted after her beauty, now became even more interested in Gu Jia Ning.
Such an interesting woman, how could he not keep her in his grasp?
That night, Gu Jia Ning had a nightmare. She dreamed that she was targeted by a poisonous snake. Its triangular eyes stared at her intently, as if it were going to devour her. Fortunately, Sheng Ze Xi appeared at the critical moment, swung an axe, and the snake was chopped into several pieces.
At the end of the dream, Gu Jia Ning hugged Sheng Ze Xi, feeling full of reassurance and warmth.
The next morning, Gu Jia Ning opened the System Exchange Mall. Last night, she had used 100 points to exchange for a super body scanner, and last night, she scanned her whole family.
Her three older brothers were healthy and strong.
Regarding her sisters-in-law, Yang Manman's Cold Palace issue was slowly being resolved.
Her second sister-in-law was still weak because she had given birth not long ago and was still in confinement, but she was slowly recovering. Her little nephew, Zhuangzhuang, was always healthy, and he gained more weight recently after drinking milk powder.
Her mother, Yao Chunhua, was also in good health. Only her father's health was a concern, possibly due to excessive labor when he was young. However, it wasn't a serious issue; just eating more nutritious food to gradually recover would suffice. She told her mother this.
This time, Gu Jia Ning was in the System Exchange Mall to exchange for other things.
After a while, Gu Jia Ning's eyes lit up, "Found it."
Seeing that the price was not expensive, Gu Jia Ning exchanged it.
"Ningning, it's time to eat."
"Coming."
Closing the system, Gu Jia Ning went to eat breakfast. After breakfast, just as she was about to go out, she saw Bao Shan Yan standing at the door.
Gu Jia Ning's eyes showed no surprise. She said, "Let's find a place to talk."
Afterwards, Bao Shan Yan followed Gu Jia Ning to the back of the Gu Family home…
Behind the house, Gu Jia Ning explained her plan to Bao Shan Yan and gave her a package of powdered medicine.
Bao Shan Yan took the powdered medicine. She didn't question the plan's content, but…
"Aren't you afraid of leaving evidence or being seen, and Wen Zhiqing will bite back?" After all, Bao Shan Yan could also see that Wen Zhuqing was definitely not as kind and pure as he appeared.
This man is very scheming.
Usually, when encountering such a person, one should stay far away.
But Bao Shan Yan wasn't afraid because she believed that regardless of his schemes, fighting ability was everything, and she and her mother happened to possess fighting abilities stronger than men.
Plus, she did like Wen Zhuqing's appearance.
Perhaps, it was because she didn't have it, so she wanted to find a good-looking man so that their child could have better looks.
"I naturally have my methods," Gu Jia Ning replied.
As for what they were, she didn't need to tell Bao Shan Yan.
After all, she and Bao Shan Yan were only in a mutually exploitative relationship.
"Okay, you better be sure, otherwise I won't help you."
"Same here."
After separating from Bao Shan Yan and returning to the house, Gu Jia Ning opened the System Exchange Mall and bought a pen and a disposable paper mouse.
The pen cost 0.5 points, and the paper mouse also cost 0.5 points.
Gu Jia Ning used the pen to write a sentence on the paper, then tore off the paper, folded it, and placed it in the paper mouse's mouth, specifying Wen Zhuqing's bed location in the Intellectual Youth Point.
The moment she finished speaking, this paper mouse, originally made of gray paper, flashed with light for a moment, and then it seemed to come alive.
From afar, it looked like a real, shiny mouse.
The next second, it turned and ran out with the paper in its mouth, so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.
The gray mouse ran directly into the Intellectual Youth Point.
At that time, nobody was in the Intellectual Youth Point; everyone was working in the fields.
The gray mouse accurately found Wen Zhuqing's bed and jumped onto it in an incredible way.
Then the folded paper was placed under the pillow, mostly hidden under it, with only a small corner showing.
Then, the gray mouse jumped down, stopped moving, and the next second, it spontaneously combusted.
The originally lively mouse turned back into a paper mouse and then burned to ashes.
With the wind blowing in, the ashes scattered.
No one saw this happen.
It wasn't until noon when the Intellectual Youths returned from work.
As soon as Wen Zhuqing entered, he inadvertently glanced at his bed and easily saw the corner of the paper under the pillow.
Wen Zhuqing's bed was very tidy, and he was familiar with his belongings, so he immediately noticed something that didn't belong on his bed.
He walked over and, in a way that others couldn't see, he put the paper under the pillow into his palm.
Only when no one was around did he unfold it to look.
The familiar script caught his eye.
Wen Zhuqing immediately recognized it as Gu Jia Ning's handwriting.
Previously, to get closer to him, Gu Jia Ning had specially written some short poems and wanted him to appreciate them. Wen Zhuqing had always had a good memory.
So he immediately recognized that it was Gu Jia Ning's handwriting, especially since her name was at the bottom.
On the paper, Gu Jia Ning wrote that her blind date with the Sheng-surname officer was forced; she still liked him. If Wen Zhuqing also liked her, he should go to the old place north of the village tomorrow; she had important matters to discuss with him.
The so-called old place north of the village was a remote old house, previously inhabited by a widowed elderly man. Later, the old man passed away, and the place became uninhabitable due to its dilapidation.
