I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 331 The real and fake Xiaoxian's romantic encounter is fake, taking over is real!

After reaching an agreement, Ms. Hu and Zi Qiao returned to the bar.

Then they heard Xiao Bo gently asking Zhang Wei how he was doing.

"You must live a very frugal life, with exams and internships to take. It must be so hard."

"Actually, it's alright," Zhang Wei said frankly, scratching his head.

"I'm used to eating instant noodles, and I sometimes even add an egg."

Xiao Bo was immediately overcome with sympathy and looked at him with pity.

"It's rare to see such a strong and hardworking man like you."

Zhang Wei was so impressed by the praise that a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Before he could be modest, Xiao Bo thought for a moment and clapped his hands.

"You can't just eat instant noodles all the time. It's not good for a child's development. Let me treat you to a meal."

"No need for that, you're too kind," Zhang Wei said, waving his hands repeatedly.

He dared not be alone with this woman; she was too enthusiastic, and Zhang Wei was afraid of making a mistake.

Xiao Bo moved closer to Zhang Wei, a faint milky scent emanating from her. She gently placed her hand on Zhang Wei's arm and spoke softly.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just a casual meal; consider it a favor between friends."

Hu Yifei and Lu Ziqiao were both stunned by what they saw.

"What's going on? Where did this guy come from?" Lu Ziqiao looked at Hu Yifei and asked with his eyes.

How dare they steal Lu Ziqiao's target?

Ms. Hu was also stunned, her mouth slightly open.

How does she know?

After walking for only ten minutes, Xiao Bo turned around and started chatting enthusiastically with the stranger.

Where did he come from?
Regardless, Hu Yifei still needed to add another layer of protection, so she gave Ziqiao a look.

"on!"

Lu Ziqiao: "."

Fine, let's go for it.

Having just made that promise, I can't afford to lose face.

Lu Ziqiao had taken the money and was obligated to help people out of trouble; he had no intention of returning the two hundred yuan he had just pocketed.

Lu Ziqiao's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Zhang Wei with obvious familiarity, putting his arm around Zhang Wei's shoulder and exclaiming in surprise.

"Hey buddy, long time no see."

Taking the opportunity, Hu Yifei walked to Wan Yu's side.

"What's going on? Where did this guy come from?"

“His name is Zhang Wei. He grew up in an orphanage and is also a part-time intern lawyer,” Lin Wanyu answered earnestly.

"Zhang Wei's background is both pitiful and inspiring."

Lin Wanyu had been listening intently to Zhang Wei recount his life story, and now she was deeply moved, almost to the point of tears.

It's too awful.

This was the first time she had ever heard such an inspiring story of struggle. Zhang Wei was truly courageous, daring to face a bleak life.

Hu Yifei was still a little confused.

Gu Yifan was happy to have some free time and explained with a smile.

"Yifei, your old classmate, is overflowing with sympathy. I think she might have a thing for Zhang Wei."

"Huh? What about Ziqiao?" Hu Yifei asked instinctively.

"What Ziqiao?" Gu Yifan asked, puzzled.

Ms. Hu looked somewhat embarrassed, thinking to herself, "Oh no."

She made a wasted trip.

But by then, Lu Ziqiao had already begun his actions, and it seemed too late to stop him.

Zhang Wei was suddenly grabbed on the shoulder, and his already tense body trembled.

"Who?"

Turning his head, he saw Lu Ziqiao's unfamiliar face appear before him.

Zhang Wei looked somewhat bewildered. "Who are you?"

"Dude, don't you recognize me? We used to be such good friends. No, you've really forgotten?"

Lu Ziqiao's acting is superb. Watching Zhang Wei's bewildered expression, from the joy of bumping into an acquaintance to surprise and disappointment.

"Um, I'm sorry, I really forgot who you are." The simple-minded Zhang Wei racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who the man in front of him was, and was too embarrassed to say.

“I’m Lao Lü, everyone calls me Xiao Bu, have you forgotten?” Lü Ziqiao said quickly.

Xiao Bo, standing to the side, asked with some curiosity, "You know Zhang Wei?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ziqiao exclaimed, "Oh, so this guy's name is Zhang Wei?"
Good. A common name.

If you shout it out on the street, four or five people named Zhang Wei will stand up.

Zhang Wei was in a difficult situation, so he pretended to suddenly realize something.

"Oh, it's Old Bu! Oh, look at my memory, how have you been lately?"

Successful.

Lu Ziqiao winked triumphantly at Gu Yifan and the other three who were watching.

Watch my performance!

"Me? Same old story, drinking tea, fishing, playing mahjong every day. And taking care of my old man on the side. Anyway, enough about me, how are you, Wei-ge?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei didn't doubt it and smiled憨厚ly, "I'm still the same as always, preparing for the bar exam. How's your uncle doing?"

Lu Ziqiao caught another key phrase: bar exam? This kid's a lawyer? Looking at Zhang Wei's clothes, he's either a salesman or a lawyer.

“My dad? Oh, he passed away this year,” Lu Ziqiao replied casually.

Zhang Wei's smile froze, and he withdrew his smile, his expression turning serious.

"Uncle's gone? That's such a shame. Hey, why didn't you contact me? I could have gone and helped out."

"He's already enjoyed his whole life and has had enough. He doesn't need any help. It's me who's doing this." Lu Ziqiao said nonchalantly, but his face showed reluctance.

This successfully piqued the curiosity of Zhang Wei and Xiao Bo.

"What, did your uncle leave you with debt?"

"No, not at all." Lu Ziqiao shook his head frankly.

He deliberately sighed.

"Hey, he left me several apartments, a few cars, and some properties. You know me, I hate doing accounts the most. It's exhausting to do all that."

This Versailles-style speech elicited an envious expression from Zhang Wei.

No wonder he was so happy after his father died; it turns out he inherited such a huge fortune.

“Unfortunately, I have nothing to inherit,” Zhang Wei said, shaking his head.

"Don't say that. How's your dad? He's in his fifties or sixties, the prime of his life. Who knows, he might just be the one to build a business for you." Lu Ziqiao said with a smile.

But they noticed that Zhang Wei and Xiao Bo's expressions had changed.

Did he say something wrong?
After a moment of silence, Zhang Wei frowned. "I'm an orphan. Do we really know each other?"

Lu Ziqiao: Damn! An orphan, how did I manage to run into someone with such a rare chance?

"Of course I know him."

Ziqiao racked his brains, trying to smooth things over, "It's been so long since we last met, maybe I'm mistaken."

"Zhang Wei, didn't you recognize me at first either?"

“That’s true.” Zhang Wei nodded, but the doubt in his eyes did not disappear; instead, it deepened.

Zhang Wei: As a lawyer... (coughs guiltily) Even if I haven't passed the bar exam, no crime can escape my eyes!

Seeing that he seemed to have failed to salvage the situation, Ziqiao quickly steered the conversation toward Xiaobo, who was standing next to him.

"We meet again, Xiao Bo. You know Zhang Wei too?"

Originally, Lu Ziqiao planned to create a rich second-generation persona for himself, which was his forte.

But Xiao Bo didn't show any interest in him as he had hoped. Instead, he looked at him with a stranger's expression and said, "We haven't known each other for long, but I'm not very familiar with you either."

Ziqiao's face twitched violently, and he said awkwardly, "That's true...that's true."

Xiao Bo ignored Zi Qiao, who clearly had ill intentions, and turned to look at Zhang Wei with tenderness.

"It's lunchtime, why don't we go eat?"

Seeing this, Ziqiao was furious, as it was the first time in his life he had been treated so coldly by a girl.

Yifei and Yifan are both watching.

If he were to slink away in defeat like this, where would Lu Ziqiao put his face?

"Oh, yes, yes, it's lunchtime. Why don't we go together? I happen to know a good restaurant nearby."

Ziqiao, who shamelessly squeezed in, was faced with this situation.

Zhang Wei wasn't angry. Instead, he thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you guys go eat? I won't go."

"I think it's okay!"

Lu Ziqiao was overjoyed. "I'll remember this guy named Zhang Wei. You're a good person!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bo immediately shook his head, "I don't want to eat with you."

This blatant rejection left Ziqiao speechless.

Xiao Bo glanced warily at Lü Ziqiao, then took Zhang Wei's arm and said, "Zhang Wei, let's go for a walk."

"this."

Zhang Wei was troubled. He also figured out that this Lao Bu, who claimed to be his friend, seemed to want to chat up this big and small wave.

I originally thought I could just go with the flow and get rid of this trouble.

It doesn't seem to work now.

Otherwise, you might as well just refuse outright.

"He's a lecherous man, he's obviously up to no good. Let's go quickly." Seeing Zhang Wei hesitate, Xiao Bo quickly moved closer and whispered.

Upon hearing this, a jolt of electricity shot through Zhang Wei's body!
"Yes, that's the feeling of upholding justice and helping others! That's right, it's me, legal pioneer Zhang Wei."

He was needed!

"It's quite hot outside, how about we chat some more?" Lu Ziqiao tried to salvage the situation one last time.

But Zhang Wei, who had just seemed about to hand the girl over to him, suddenly stood up and blocked Lu Ziqiao's way with a serious expression.

“Mr. Lü, harassing women against their will is illegal. I advise you to be kind!” After saying that, Zhang Wei took the hand of the moved Xiao Bo and walked past the stunned Lü Ziqiao, “Let’s go.”

"Zhang Wei, what a great man." Xiao Bo suddenly felt that this man, who originally looked quite ordinary, suddenly seemed much taller and more imposing.

"Brother Gu, I'll be going now." Zhang Wei didn't say anything, but he straightened his chest even more. It would have been better if he still had the Bar Association badge pinned to his chest.

"Okay, I'll get in touch later. Come visit me anytime."

Gu Yifan, who had become a bystander, nodded.

She looked at Ziqiao, who was still standing there dumbfounded, questioning his existence, with a smile in her eyes.

They waited until Zhang Wei and Xiao Bo left from the bar entrance.

"Pfft hahaha."

A burst of laughter came from the bar.

"Ziqiao, Ziqiao, I never thought you'd have a bad day." Gu Yifan burst into laughter.

Leave the bar.

Zhang Wei hurriedly let go, but Xiao Bo grabbed his arm.

"hiss!"

Zhang Wei gasped.

It's very elastic.
"Hey, Xiaobo, don't do that. I was just worried you'd be harassed, that's why."

Zhang Wei's heart fluttered for a moment.

But when he thought of Xiaoli, Zhang Wei bit his tongue hard, pulled his arm away, and said righteously.

It's because I used too much force that my tongue went numb, and now I have a bit of a lisp.

Xiao Bo, however, looked at him with admiration and said shyly, "It's okay, I understand, I get it."

Zhang Wei shuddered and took a step back.

Xiao Bo took a step forward.

"Well, in that case, I'll be going now," Zhang Wei said immediately, his only regret being that he still had a little less than half a glass of orange juice left to drink.

It must be freshly squeezed orange juice.

To his surprise, Xiao Bo stopped him, "Could you take me home first?"

Zhang Wei was shocked: "Huh?"

“I’m worried that I’ll be in danger again once you leave. Attorney Zhang, you’ll help me, right?”

Attorney Zhang!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei felt a surge of excitement and immediately decided, "No problem."

"That's good." Xiao Bo smiled happily.

"Oh, wait a minute, I'm going to buy some prickly heat powder."

"It's already this late, the weather's not hot anymore, why would you still get prickly heat?" Zhang Wei asked, puzzled.

Xiao Bo turned his head and smiled, "I bought it for my baby."

Zhang Wei was struck dumb. "You...you're married?"

Then he definitely can't stand next to Xiaobo, what if her husband finds out?

“It’s okay. I got divorced three years ago. It’s a pity that my baby lost his father when he was only six months old. I’m looking for a responsible and dependable man.”

Xiao Bo smiled sweetly, her eyes still subtly sending flirtatious glances at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei was stunned.

Wait a minute, I got divorced three years ago, my child is six months old, I'm looking for a responsible man.
This is a lot of information.

Watching Xiao Bo walk into the store, Zhang Wei broke out in a cold sweat. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away.

Inside the bar.

"Hahaha, Ziqiao, your expression is so funny right now," Miss Lin said, clapping her hands without a care in the world.

Already feeling frustrated, Lu Ziqiao became even angrier, "Whose fault is this? Wasn't it because you were worried that Xiao Bo would get entangled with your Yi Fan, so you sent Yi Fei to find me? That's why I stepped in, and now... one slip has led to eternal regret!"

"What about me?"

Gu Yifan was shocked. No wonder. He originally thought that since Ziqiao knew that Xiaobo was a single mother, he would definitely not continue to provoke her.

When Ziqiao struck up a conversation with Xiaobo, he thought the guy was desperate and would do anything.

I never expected there to be such inside information.

Ms. Hu blushed, gritted her teeth, and slammed her hand on the table. "Who told you to be so talkative! Where's the money? The matter wasn't settled, so why aren't you giving me my money back?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ziqiao immediately shook his head, "No, no, just tell me whether Xiao Bo left or not."

At this moment, Miss Qin smiled and said, "Alright, Yifei, I think you don't need to worry about Xiaobo coming again."

"Why?" Hu Yifei asked, puzzled.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Miss Qin pointed at Lu Ziqiao. “As long as Ziqiao is here, Xiaobo will never come again.”

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then burst into cheerful laughter.

Only Lu Ziqiao wore a bitter face, feeling utterly humiliated, having ruined his lifelong reputation!
I only made two hundred yuan, which wasn't worth it.

Night falls.

Back at the apartment, the group discussed it and decided to wait to listen to Teacher Zeng's 600th episode.

I want to see what kind of fun will happen.

"Teacher Zeng will thank me then," Guan Gu said with great interest.

"Me too!" Zhanbo came out carrying a radio.

"You should thank me! I helped Teacher Zeng so much, and I even served as his telephone editor!" Lin Wanyu felt that she was the one who should be thanked the most.

Amidst the commotion, Gu Yifan shook his head, got up, and went to the refrigerator to grab a drink.

Lu Ziqiao followed them discreetly.

"What would you like to drink?" Gu Yifan asked casually.

"Beer, please." Ziqiao said, giving Gu Yifan a strange look.

When Gu Yifan took out the two bottles of Budweiser and handed one to Ziqiao, he noticed Ziqiao's hesitant expression and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're still hiring for that job?" Lu Ziqiao hesitated for a moment before changing his question.

But Gu Yifan felt that this wasn't what he originally wanted to say.

"Sure, you can start work tomorrow. You'll get paid at the end of the month, just in time to pay the rent," Gu Yifan said with a smile.

"Wow, we get paid at the end of the month!" Ziqiao exclaimed in shock.

"Of course." Gu Yifan nodded. He was a young entrepreneur, not a heartless capitalist.

"That's great." Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief.

That way he won't have to borrow money to pay the rent.

Even a hero can be brought down by a single penny.

"What else were you about to say?" Gu Yifan asked, seizing the opportunity.

Ziqiao was calculating the money he had left. With the two hundred yuan Yifei gave him, it shouldn't be difficult to make it to the end of the month.

He can just freeload off them; he won't be a freeloader. He'll call Xiao Hei and go fishing in Dianshan Lake later.
Wow, Gu Yifan's fish soup is absolutely amazing.

"Oh, I wanted to ask you what's going on between you and Yifei." Lu Ziqiao blurted out unconsciously before realizing what he had said and covering his mouth.

Gu Yifan was taken aback, then looked at the guilty Ziqiao with a half-smile.

"What could possibly be going on? You're really cunning."

Seeing that Gu Yifan's expression was normal, Lü Ziqiao blinked, "Really not?"

"I advise you not to talk nonsense. I don't care about myself, but what if Yifei finds out?" Gu Yifan patted Lu Ziqiao on the shoulder and left.

Lu Ziqiao stood in front of the refrigerator, watching Gu Yifan's back, scratched his head, and pulled the tab open with a "pop".

"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Just then, Lü Ziqiao witnessed this scene.

Ms. Hu, who was clamoring to play Three Kingdoms Kill while listening to Zeng Xiaoxian's program, snatched the beer from Gu Yifan's hand.

She then naturally took Gu Yifan's arm and pulled him to sit down beside her.

Wanyu, who was standing to the side, saw everything.

Instead, she hugged Gu Yifan's waist, acting nonchalant, and loudly proclaimed that she wanted to be Diao Chan and no one could take her away from her.
Suddenly, Lü Ziqiao shuddered.

No, no, this really shouldn't be said.

If I were to say it out loud, wouldn't I offend three people at once?
Amidst the commotion, Zeng Xiaoxian's show began.

"Quiet down, quiet down!" Ziqiao exclaimed excitedly.

All that could be heard was Teacher Zeng's voice coming from the radio.

"Hello everyone, I am Zeng Xiaoxian, a good man."

"Today is a very special day. Your Moon, My Heart celebrates its 600th anniversary!"

"Here, Xiaoxian would like to express his heartfelt gratitude to the Chinese animation 'Under One Person,' produced by Extraordinary Animation Co., Ltd., for sending birthday wishes to the program!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yifan smiled smugly and pointed to himself.

Hu Yifei, on the other hand, had her head down, her hands on her knees, and her drooping hair obscuring her slightly flushed face.

Gu Yifan's previous studio was called 'Yifan Studio'.

On one occasion, Hu Yifei happened to bring it up and complained that the name was so corny.

Gu Yifan blurted out, "Then let's change it to Feifan."

The "fei" in front is naturally the "fei" in Hu Yifei.

Hearing about Ms. Hu's tender side on Zeng Xiaoxian's show now has touched me even more.

"Another thing that makes Xiaoxian happy is that today, the program has a special guest, Ms. Lara, a columnist for National Geographic magazine."

"Hi everyone, I'm Laura. I'm so happy to be invited to Xiaoxian's show!"

As everyone listened to Zeng Xiaoxian's noticeably more animated tone on the radio, they all shook their heads and sighed, realizing that Teacher Zeng had indeed fallen for her again.

"Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the listeners who have supported the program."

"And a very special friend who is the most important person to me. It's so good to have you."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they pointed to themselves.

At this moment, Gu Yifan spoke up quietly, "I bet Teacher Zeng said that while looking at Laura."

As a result, everyone glared at them angrily.

"How could that be? It's about me!" ×6
