Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1014. The Infinite Time-Space Hotel (54)

Meng is truly composed.

"Is it true?" These four words are both calm and indifferent.

—She seems to lack trust in people.

—How old is she this year!

—24. I just calculated it, Dawei is 19, and she is five years older than Dawei.

—Honey, that's Meng Ye who just started dating Dawei. I don't know if they're still the same age.

—It should be the same year.

—How do you know? Did you count her tree rings?
—Hahahaha, forgive me, I shouldn't laugh, but I couldn't help it.

—What the hell is this about counting tree rings?

—We've seen so many dead people, so hearing that someone has died doesn't really evoke any feelings.

—It's right that we didn't feel anything, because we've never even seen that Da Min.

But Meng found it strange that her first reaction was to ask people: Is it true?

—How distrustful of people must she be to ask such a question?

As soon as Meng Ye said that, Xiao Yuan's eyes reddened.

At this moment, Linlin spoke up.

Would anyone joke about something like this?

—Although I don't like Linlin, Linlin's question is correct.

Yes, in real life, no one would joke about something like this.

So, what exactly caused Meng Ye's reaction?

—She's only 24 years old, and it's strange that she instinctively questions people.

—How wonderful it would be if 105 were 50 years old! She's sincere, easygoing, and loves to joke. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be so reluctant to see her go.

—Could it be that all of that is just a facade?
People change. All I can say is that her personality has changed at 50.

Meng Ye still didn't react, he just looked at Ping'er.

Ping'er, however, was not so calm. She closed her eyes and her voice trembled slightly.

"Xiao Ye, let's go find Zhao Cheng!"

"Okay!" Meng Ye's voice was completely flat.

—Here he comes, here he comes, Zhao Cheng is here.

—Meng Ye's ex-boyfriend?

—If the timeline moves forward normally, then it's her ex-ex-boyfriend.

—Wow, let's meet Meng Ye's first boyfriend.

—What I'm trying to say is, isn't your first boyfriend your first love? Why does Meng say no?

—Isn't that simple? It's probably because Meng once liked someone, or had a crush on someone, but they never dated. She feels that person was her first love.

—She didn't have any feelings for her first boyfriend, so she didn't consider him her first love.

Meng Ye and Ping'er went out and hailed a taxi.

Lin Xi and the others waited for a while before using teleportation.

As for invisibility, there's no need to use it at all, since those people can't see them anyway.

The room was small and not very bright.

A man was lying in bed, smoking a cigarette out of boredom.

As soon as Meng Ye and Ping'er entered, the man sat up from the bed.

"Sister, what brings you here?" The person looked at Meng Ye.

—Is this Zhao Cheng?
—He's alright looking, but he doesn't seem very tall.

—His facial features are quite nice, but overall he's not handsome. —Yes, not handsome enough, but good-looking enough.

—He was also younger than Meng Ye, otherwise, why would he call Meng Ye "sister"?

—Maybe it's not Zhao Cheng. Judging from his tone, he's quite calm, not like someone who can't forget Meng Ye.

"Brother, is Damin dead?" Ping'er asked directly, her voice trembling.

Zhao Cheng nodded.

Ping'er immediately squatted down, covered her face with her hands, and burst into tears.

Meng glanced at Ping'er, but neither tried to persuade her nor helped her up. Instead, he looked around, found Zhao Cheng's cigarettes, took one out, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhao Cheng quickly took out a lighter and lit Meng Ye's cigarette.

"Cough cough!" Meng took a puff and immediately started coughing.

She walked out of the room, threw the cigarette on the ground, stomped it out, and looked around.

"Are you selling coal?" Meng asked.

Zhao Cheng nodded.

That's more like it!
Whether it's an ex-boyfriend or an ex-girlfriend, there's really no need to treat them like enemies.

This shows that Zhao Cheng is normal, and Meng also met normal people and became normal as well.

—It must have been when Meng Ye was dating Zhao Cheng, before Xiao Guo and Sun or anything like that happened.

—Isn't Xiaoguo Mengye's neighbor? They must have known each other for a long time!

—That Sun something-or-other probably appeared when Mengye and Dawei were talking.

Meng also had no idea what Zhao Cheng was doing here; it must be his first time here.

— Ping'er, on the other hand, seems to be quite familiar with Zhao Cheng.

—The relationship is a bit complicated. Can we start from the beginning? I'm getting confused.

Meng and Zhao Cheng exchanged a few words and then stopped talking. They watched Ping'er cry until she had cried enough and stood up from the ground.

"Are you feeling better?" Meng Ye's tone towards Ping'er was quite concerned, no longer so indifferent. "If you're feeling better, I'll take you home."

Ping'er nodded, and the two walked towards the door.

Just as he stepped outside, Meng seemed to remember something and looked at Zhao Cheng with a smile.

"How many young girls have you slept with since you broke up with me?"

Zhao Cheng was stunned, then felt a little embarrassed.

"you know?"

"Yeah, my colleague saw you on the street. You were with one girl in the morning, and then you changed to another one in the afternoon. Also, the other girl you were pursuing came to see me." Meng Ye said with a smile. "How about it? My innocent ex-girlfriend, whom you couldn't have, is pretty useful, isn't she! Being deeply in love with one person while cheating on others, you've learned this method of attracting girls one after another quite well."

"Sister..." Zhao Cheng tried to stop Meng Ye.

“It’s okay. I knew you didn’t like me when we were dating, and luckily I didn’t like you either. You need a reason to start your playboy journey, and I need to experience what it’s like to be in a relationship,” Meng laughed. “We each got what we needed.”

“Meng Ye,” Zhao Cheng suddenly spoke. “Actually, in the later stages…”

“I know that you did like me a little bit later on,” Meng said with a smile. “But this crooked tree of mine can’t compare to the vast forest you’ve been dreaming of, so when I mentioned breaking up, you quickly agreed.”

"Cough cough cough cough." Zhao Cheng began to cough incessantly.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Don't let your new girlfriend come to see you later and then see me again." Meng Ye said, waving to stop a passing car and helping Ping'er into the car.

—That explains why it was so calm.

So it turns out nobody likes anyone!
A relationship where each party gets what they need.

But how can one experience the feeling of being in love without being in love or being in love?
—I don't know.

Meng Ye's approach to love is quite casual.

—Although she was smiling, she was still very cold towards Zhao Cheng. Was she pretending? Actually, she was very sad inside.

—Didn't you see how sad she was more than 20 years later?
