After Xingyu hung up the phone, her beautiful star-like eyes flickered slightly. She pursed her lips and glanced at Xu Lingjing, who was currently playing Go with Xu Huaishen. Xu Lingjing seemed to sense her gaze and turned his head toward her. Xingyu immediately looked away, puffing out her cheeks in annoyance as she stared at the cheesy soap opera playing on the television.
The phone rang again. Xingyu promptly swiped the screen to block the number, then powered the phone off entirely. She had hung up earlier simply because she found Ruan Qianqian inexplicable and couldn't be bothered with her. But now that the call was truly over, Xingyu—who was not stupid—quickly pieced together what was happening. It was likely that Ruan Qianqian had offended someone, and that person was using their influence to make it impossible for the Ruan family to survive in this city, warning them that if they didn't leave, they would be utterly destroyed.
Was it Xu Lingjing's doing? But how could Ruan Qianqian have offended him? At most, she was lacking in self-awareness and had rambled some nonsense that made no sense. Honestly, Xingyu didn't care about Ruan Qianqian's ravings; in fact, she found such unique and foolish people quite amusing. In the Great World, her favorite thing to do was strike soul-deals with people like that. If she could, Xingyu would have kept her around a while longer just to see what kind of antics she could come up with.
