Volume 1, Chapter 56: The Appearance of Zheng Shi and Her Connection to Zhong Hai
Zhong Hai had never been a man of good temperament, and he immediately began to speak with sarcasm. "Mrs. Zhong, you are also my paternal aunt, so I must kindly remind you. Who knows how that Ye Qiaoqiao beside you managed to worm her way into your circle? She has long been a ruined..."
Before Zhong Hai could finish his curse, his head was easily knocked sideways by a slap from Ye Qiaoqiao.
"How dare you hit me!" Zhong Hai touched his cheek, gritting his teeth, and lunged forward with intense hatred.
Ye Qiaoqiao raised her foot, but before she could kick him out, Zhong Hai was pulled away by the bodyguards beside Huang Ruoyan.
"Qiaoqiao, do you know this person?" Huang Ruoyan frowned, signaling the bodyguards to chase the man away before asking Ye Qiaoqiao.
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded and frowned. "Well..."
"If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't drag us into this. By the way, the door must be closed too, otherwise the zombies will all run upstairs," Mina added.
Meeting his somewhat burning gaze, Shen Yan gently curled the corners of her lips, a sweet smile blooming on both her cheeks.
Gu Xi arranged everything, and seeing that it was almost five-thirty, she packed her things and went out to catch a ride.
"Oh god, what a waste of heaven's treasures. That is truly the most expensive handkerchief in history," Lan Lingwu shook her head helplessly.
However, while these big shots were pondering strategic issues, the other ninjas began their battle against the demons.
Liang Shanbo looked at Si Jiu, then at his own mother, before reluctantly walking toward Tao Bao.
The tear was a bit large and required stitches. Y did not use them, performing only a hemostatic bandage. If X still needed to press forward, he definitely would have used sutures. Now that he could rest, there was no need, sparing him the trouble of having the stitches removed and re-sutured once they reached the hospital.
Uh... Calling it a wonderful world didn't seem quite accurate, because this was merely a desolate world full of gravel.
"Needless to say, even before it's fully absorbed, we'll come looking for you to collect," Lei Yan stroked his flying, lion-mane-like long hair and grinned.
Having graduated for so long, people really change a lot. During gatherings back in school days, most people ate and drank in silence; apart from a few active figures like Ling Luo and Lin Zitao, no one took the initiative to toast.
Some people felt a pang of guilt. Before coming, they had intended to latch onto Lin Zitao as a big tree, and thus had directly or indirectly targeted Ling Luo. After these few incidents, they realized that Ling Luo was not at all what Lin Zitao and Jiao Guohua had claimed. Who could tell what kind of development he would achieve in a few more years?
After washing up, eating some simple dried meat, and drinking some fresh water, Ying Wuxin and Bai Miaozhen walked toward the village together. Bai Miaozhen still wore a mask, following closely behind Ying Wuxin like someone too ashamed to show her face, which drew sidelong glances and endless staring from many villagers heading out to do farm work.
Seeing Hao Simiao grow dissatisfied with her because of the public's dislike for herself, Shi Meng raised a hand to interrupt whatever Hao Simiao was about to say next.
The shareholders were not as happy as Ling Luo had imagined. Although they knew that with the listing of Golden Point Group, the shares in their hands could turn into cash, they still held some reservations about this decision.
The evil python Bunagi had completely knelt, and now the divine dragon Imogi was about to run away. After transforming into a divine dragon, its resistance to pressure had significantly improved, so Imogi's escape speed was not slow at all. Amidst lightning and thunder, a passage to the heavens was opened, and Imogi was about to soar into the sky.
"I didn't buy this!" Just from carrying this pile of things, Yudu was now covered in sweat.
"Right!" Yudu had acknowledged these brothers and sisters, so she would never forget them.
After the meal, Madam Li invited everyone to go watch a theatrical performance. Ye Rong claimed she was feeling unwell and asked Li Sheng to accompany them while she returned to her room to rest.
Li Tianqi thought to himself, If you wanted to shout out a warning, you would have already done so just now; why wait until this moment? Say no more! By now, he already understood that the person capable of neutralizing his spell restrictions inside the cave must also be from the Qimeng Ripples. However, he no longer had time to question her further.
Looking again, another victim undergoing execution was being scorched by a pillar of fire. That person was also howling wildly, followed by a pungent, foul stench that assaulted the nose.
"You're teaching me cultivation techniques now?" said the cat demon. Moves didn't need to be new as long as they worked. Meng Fan certainly had no intention of teaching her, leaving her with no choice but to pester him.
Actually, in the initial plan, they were not supposed to participate in this mission. Their assignment was stationed near the room where Huang Pengqing was resting, to cover and protect their teammates while eliminating Chen Junxiang and his group of guards.
Mo Fan, kneeling half on the ground, had not even had time to feel a sense of excitement when he discovered that his body had completely exceeded its capacity. Fighting the acquired realm with the initial stage of tendon-refining was truly no child's play.
"I am neither ill nor injured; I simply can't have children anymore. Are you still willing to stay with me and take care of me?" Zhang Donghai asked.
Creationism and evolutionism do not conflict; they can be combined because created beings can also evolve. Evolutionism does not apply to the origin of humans, but it applies to human evolution. After various types of "humans" were created, survival of the fittest ultimately left only humans like us.
Meng Fan's prestige was enormous now; compared to the village chief, the villagers feared him even more. Firstly, because he was the village's big boss, and the villagers relied on him to get rich; secondly, because he was a deputy company commander, outranking the village chief.
The man standing beside their table was none other than the fickle playboy they had just been discussing, Ji Siming.
"Naturally." With his scheme exposed, Feng Yu was not annoyed at all; instead, he generously admitted to it.
I desperately wanted to retort, but the words were stuck in my throat. Wasn't Lele right? Over the past half year, had I truly let go of Chuchu completely? No! I had not! All this time, I still lingered on thoughts of Chuchu; Lele was not wrong.
"Eh? Why?" Zhang Zhiguo's words further confirmed my earlier judgment; the relationship between the two of them was indeed extraordinary.
From then on, the capital market believed that even if Blue-In Electronics hit a bump in the road in a given year, as long as it kept walking down this path of diversification, it would eventually become the most massive behemoth corporation in history.
"Hehe, Mr. Bulling, of course not, but this product has not yet been launched. I hope you and Mr. Page will refrain from spreading the news." The old rascal took the disc from Wang Zixuan's hand and handed it to him.
"Jinhui, actually I am also very uncertain. I'm afraid, afraid that I won't be able to bring him happiness, and afraid of getting hurt..." These worries constantly lingered at the bottom of her heart.
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Gao Haotian came out of the bathroom, looking somewhat surprised to see that she was already up.
Although Xia Fangyuan had never carried a particularly expensive bag, she had to admit that expensive items simply felt different.
Luo Nanzhu felt a burning pain flare up on one side of her buttocks, and she cried out aggrievedly, "Fu Tingyuan!"
Seeing his completely disrespectful attitude, which even carried a hint of humiliation, the second elder's facial muscles twitched, and he was filled with incomparable rage.
"I beg you, let me take her place, okay? I really can't bear this pain," Xiang Xiangna pleaded, seeming to feel that death would be a merciful release for her.
