Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

“What are you doing, Darling? Guess what? Gu Shishi translated Daqian’s documentary. The shop manager even praised her and said she’d give her a raise. Hrm! Who even knows if she didn’t just make the whole thing up!”

“Didn’t you say last time that you are going to teach Gu Shishi a lesson? Have you given up on that already?”

“SHUT UP!”

And Luo Zheng had already hung up on her.

[Who did you learn painting from? And how old are you?]

[Are you really the Ink Painting Guru?!]

But received nothing back.

What else did he think?

She was right.

For sure not just any normal regular person.

An awkward look crossed Luo Zheng’s face.

He had thought that she was that little, white flower among all of the girls. Fragile but genuine. Talented and adorable.

And now… comparing to the pretty, talented, and bold Gu Shishi, what’s Gu Wushuang, the girl who could do nothing but cry?

***

But some people felt some obvious changes.

It was no longer active like it once was.

Chen Kexin and Li Yiru didn’t want to say anything in the group and Gu Wushuang had lost those who had normally fawned over her.

And she’d get a bunch of “Hoho”. They were either sarcastic or there was an awkward silence from those who didn’t want to comment.

Just like when you have a college dormitory with four girls, after all sorts of mixing and matching, there could very well be over ten chat groups.

The main group had gone belly up, but the small groups had come to live.

[Melody: I’ve heard something like that as well. It has to do with some internal issues, I think. They were being boycotted by a few of their big clients.]

[2333: They were being reported for tax evasion. Just you wait!]

[Zhou Yi: …. The Chen’s invited Gu Shishi to their birthday party too and they just received a big international order. What do you have to say about that?]

[2333: The Luo’s were just very unfortunately. Who can they blame for tax evasion? Does it even make sense trying to pin that on Big Brother Huo?]

Nine of the ten small groups were talking about it.

So much that even Zhou Mi, who hadn’t been wanting to chat in the groups as of late, and Li Yiru, who was busying trying to earn her rent, couldn’t avoid seeing the news.

Li Yiru felt distressed about it.

She was going to ignore it, but the rumors about the Luo’s snowballed.
