Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

After learning the truth, Linlang was speechless, thinking that the original owner was really unlucky. Not only was her appearance stolen, but she was also ordered by the imposter to be dealt with by a group of lackeys.

Seeing this, Linlang became even more determined to deal with those second-generation rich kids and Jian Rong.

However, the good things the system gave her stopped working, which scared Jian Rong. She was used to a life of luxury and didn't want to go back to the days when she couldn't afford the designer clothes, jewelry, and bags she wanted. If the system's special effects disappeared and she wasn't as pretty anymore, it would be difficult to successfully woo a high-quality man. But if she couldn't woo a high-quality man, she wouldn't get any more points to become even prettier. It was a win-win situation.

So, seeing that these backup options were no longer useful, Jian Rong decided to move to another city to continue pursuing high-quality men, earning points to exchange for beauty-enhancing items.

However, her complicated relationships with those second-generation rich kids in City A were widely publicized online, exposing her to the world. This made it much more difficult for her to try and win over the locals in other first-tier cities, as they became more wary of her, making it harder for her to succeed.

However, even if it wasn't easy to successfully win her over, it was still better than staying in City A without gaining anything, so she left.

Actually, the reason she came back to find Jiang Ming and the others wasn't for romance points, because their admiration for her had already reached a certain level and it would be difficult to increase it further. The reason she came back to find them was more to choose one of them to marry and live a comfortable life.

In addition, marriage will provide a lot of strategy points, allowing her to buy those permanent beauty-enhancing items, so that those time-limited items won't become useless after their expiration date and cause her appearance to decline.

She was used to being beautiful and couldn't bear to go back to her original, plain appearance.

The higher the rating of the marriage partner, the more strategy points she gets—this is why she previously pursued Ye Jiu'an from City B. Ye Jiu'an had a higher rating than the best-qualified big shot in City B she had pursued before. If she could win over Ye Jiu'an and marry him, the strategy points she would get would be enough for her to buy all the system products she liked that could permanently change her appearance.

As it turned out, Ye Jiu'an's defenses were too high, and she couldn't win him over at all. She tried everything, but her affection level didn't budge. Seeing that she couldn't win him over, she returned to City A, hoping to find a suitable person to marry and gain more points.

Now that none of these people are mentioning marriage, there's no point in her staying in City A anymore. After all, if she doesn't get married, these people's admiration for her is too high, making it difficult to gain more points. She'll have to find a new target to pursue elsewhere.

After Jian Rong left, her control over Jiang Ming and the others loosened, and they grew to like her less.

Many other second-generation members were imprisoned, but Fu Yunyi and Jiang Ming were not. Sometimes they would run into Linlang in the neighborhood.

I don't know what these two were thinking. After all this turmoil, they didn't sell the house here and move elsewhere.

You should know that after Jian Rong returned, those second-generation rich kids stopped coming to this neighborhood in order to distance themselves from Lin Lang.

Jiang Ming had left before to avoid embarrassment, but now he has moved back in.

After several chance encounters with Jiang Ming, Linlang felt a little strange.

This neighborhood is quite large; logically, you shouldn't run into each other so frequently.

It wasn't until one weekend morning, when Linlang was jogging in the neighborhood as usual, that she learned why Jiang Ming was there. It was rare for him to be jogging either. After asking her a question, she realized why Jiang Ming was there.

Jiang Ming said, "If I pursue you now, will I have no chance?"

Jiang Ming didn't know why, but after disliking Jian Rong, he fell in love with Li Linlang day by day.

Is it really true that what we can't have always stirs our hearts?
But every time he thought of Linlang's indifferent expression, he would wonder what such a face would look like when it was moved, and inevitably, a fleeting fantasy would arise. Jiang Ming didn't know why, but he just wanted to follow his heart, so he asked Linlang that question.

Linlang was surprised that Jiang Ming liked her, so she nodded and said, "Indeed, you're not my type."

Jiang Ming sighed and said, "It's not because I'm not your type, but because I used to like Jian Rong."

Linlang said calmly, "Isn't that normal? Who would dare to like a man who once deeply loved another woman?"

What if the other person once deeply loved another woman, and after being with this person, they still like that woman? What if they really don't like her at all anymore? That would be even more terrible. If someone who loved a woman so deeply could change their mind, how can you guarantee that they won't change their mind if they fall in love with you?

Maybe this person really won't change his mind, but there are so many men in the world, why insist on hanging yourself on this one man and taking this risk?

Therefore, someone who has had a deeply memorable romantic experience is definitely not someone she would be attracted to.

Linlang's words clearly hurt Jiang Ming deeply. After a moment of silence, Jiang Ming left.

Linlang never saw him again after that, and probably won't come to this neighborhood again.

After those second-generation rich kids were arrested, some people started talking about Linlang, saying that since those kids were in jail, the money Linlang earned from them wasn't clean either.

This public opinion was expected; otherwise, the relationship between Jian Rong and those second-generation rich kids wouldn't have been exposed, precisely to mitigate the impact of this.

But the incident still affected her.

Then Linlang discovered that the sounds had disappeared before she could deal with them.

After careful investigation, Linlang discovered that Ye Jiu'an had taken action.

Linlang understood after a moment's thought. He probably thought the sleep aid was effective and didn't want anything to happen to him, so he helped out casually. Given his abilities, it was an easy thing for him.

Moreover, after careful investigation, Linlang discovered that Ye Jiu'an's capital held a considerable amount of equity in this short video platform, which explained why he was able to handle it.

Linlang initially thought Ye Jiu'an helped her because of the sleep aid video, so she forgot about it after watching it, until she ran into Ye Jiu'an in the neighborhood that day.

Linlang raised an eyebrow.

Ye Jiu'an is a big shot in City B, so why would he come to City A and even own a house in this neighborhood?
It's not that he can't come to City A. After all, business people travel all over the country, so it's not strange for him to come to City A. However, although her community is a villa area, it's not a top-tier villa area in City A. Given Ye Jiu'an's status and position, even if she came to City A to discuss business, she should be staying in a top-tier villa area in City A. It's impossible for her to stay in such an ordinary villa community.

For a moment, Linlang had an inexplicable feeling, wondering if Ye Jiu'an, like Jiang Ming and the others, was also after her? (End of Chapter)
