"You know it again?" Ji Qingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure and he glanced at her.

Liu Qingyue nodded gently. "I secretly listened from the side. Although the coffee shop has good sound insulation, I still heard some of it."

As a result, she saw that Ji Qingyi's expression became increasingly cold, and Liu Qingyue immediately tried to remedy the situation: "Miss, how about letting me go and talk to her again?"

Ji Qingyi said coldly: "No need, drive."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked towards the window, seemingly losing interest in continuing the conversation with Liu Qingyue.

"Wait!" Liu Qingyue suddenly stopped the driver in the cab, and then began to persuade Ji Qingyi: "Miss, there is no need for you to be angry about this. I have a way to make Gu Ruoxue bow to you, and you just need to allow me to talk to her."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyi immediately turned around and looked at her, "Are you sure you can make her surrender?"

Liu Qingyue nodded, "Yes, Miss. If you can authorize me to do it, I can ensure that our plan can proceed smoothly."

Ji Qingyi fell silent after hearing this, because Liu Qingyue was unwilling to reveal the specific method, which made her reserved about Liu Qingyue's proposal. After all, this little maid had done things that hurt her self-esteem many times, so she didn't dare to trust her too much.

So Ji Qingyi closed her eyes and rested quietly.

"Miss, she took the initiative to come to you today." Liu Qingyue continued, "This is enough to prove that the current situation has reached a very urgent level. Moreover, I promise you that I will never negotiate with her in a way that goes against your wishes."

Ji Qingyi frowned, but did not respond immediately.

"Just like she said, every minute of delay may mean missing out on many important things." Liu Qingyue's tone was full of temptation, "Just for Su Cheng, I think you should give it a try too."

Hearing these words, Ji Qingyi slowly opened her eyes.

She nodded slightly, "Okay, go ahead."

"Leave it to me." Liu Qingyue showed a satisfied smile, then pushed open the car door and walked out.

The only people left in the car were Ji Qingyi and the driver, and the atmosphere was filled with silence and tension.

"How did she overhear that?" Ji Qingyi asked the driver while looking out the window, "How come I didn't notice anything?"

"This..." Ji Xiaze took out a stethoscope-like device from her pocket with some embarrassment and tried to explain: "She should have used this device."

"What's this……"

Ji Qingyi took this strange object and put it on her ear almost instinctively. She carefully examined it for a while, then looked at Ji Xiaze with a confused face.

"Why can't I hear anything?" Ji Qingyi took off the stethoscope in confusion: "How did she do that? Did she turn off the switch?"

"No, miss." Ji Xiazawa pointed to another store outside the car window. There was a one-way transparent glass facing their location.

"She used this stethoscope to stick to the glass to eavesdrop on your conversation." Ji Xiazawa explained carefully, "This device can clearly hear the conversation across the store through this one-way transparent glass. Moreover, she was very careful to eavesdrop on the glass."

In Ji Qingyi's mind, that somewhat embarrassing scene emerged, and she was completely stunned.

However, she quickly came to her senses.

"That's impossible. Even if someone is hiding outside, my intuition should be able to detect it at this distance." Ji Qingyi didn't quite believe this explanation. She shook her head, then suddenly raised her head, stared at Ji Xiaze, and asked in a low voice: "Are you deliberately hiding something?"

"How dare I! I'm telling the truth." Ji Xiazawa hurriedly explained.

"Show me how it works."

Ji Qingyi ordered, "By the way, listen to what is being said inside."

Ji Xiazawa took the stethoscope without hesitation, opened the car door and walked out, then walked straight across the street and walked to the window of the shop.

She pointed at the glass and walked over.

Squat down, hold the stethoscope close to the glass.

The posture is extremely indecent.

Even passers-by laughed at him.

“It’s really ugly…”

Ji Qingyi looked away in disgust, but soon the driver returned to the car and explained to her: "She spotted me and warned me by knocking on the glass."

However, before she could respond, Ji Qingyi was surprised to find that Liu Qingyue actually walked out of the coffee shop and walked towards her.

"So fast, how is it possible?"

Ji Qingyi looked puzzled.

"Miss, please pay attention. Gu Ruoxue is about to come out and will come to see you soon." Liu Qingyue's tactful reminder made Ji Qingyi turn her head abruptly.

At this moment, she saw the familiar figure appearing at the entrance of the coffee shop. Gu Ruoxue, wearing a school uniform, walked out of the door and walked towards her. It seemed that what Liu Qingyue said was true, and she really came to find her.

A gleam of doubt flashed across Ji Qingyi's eyes.

She originally wanted to eavesdrop on what Gu Ruoxue and Liu Qingyue were talking about, but she didn't expect things to progress so quickly. Moreover, Gu Ruoxue did not insist on her own opinion, but instead took the initiative to come to her.

Soon, Liu Qingyue calmly walked into the car and sat down gracefully.

And Gu Ruoxue came over without hesitation.

Ji Qingyi stared at her quietly. Gu Ruoxue did not avoid him and stared back at her with the same determination.

For a moment, the two people's eyes crossed in the air, as if time had frozen.

After a long while, Ji Qingyi withdrew her gaze. Her voice was as cold as the lake water, and she said indifferently: "I thought you would resolutely refuse to bow your head."

Gu Ruoxue shook her head: "My goal is just to hope that we can stand on the same front on this matter."

"Oh? Really?" Ji Qingyi's voice was as cold as ice: "You have a good idea. In that case, let's get in the car. We have plenty of time to talk slowly."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoxue walked into the car and sat opposite Ji Qingyi.

However, her first words were: "We don't have time to talk slowly. We have to go to Su Cheng's house immediately. We can talk while walking along the way."

Chapter 460 Competition

The vehicle started slowly and sped towards Su Cheng's house.

Gu Ruoxue, Ji Qingyi and Liu Qingyue were sitting in a private car, and the air was filled with a subtle sense of tension.

It seemed that the air was filled with a subtle sense of tension, as if any tiny friction could trigger a storm.

Liu Qingyue sat next to Ji Qingyi, with a central armrest box between them.

The high-tech facilities are amazing.

Liu Qingyue stretched out her hand gracefully and lightly tapped the display on the armrest box. The armrest box opened automatically, revealing a complete set of exquisite tea sets, each of which was full of simple elegance.

Just as Liu Qingyue stretched out her hand to prepare to brew tea, Gu Ruoxue's voice suddenly rang out in the air, like a wind chime at night, with a soft and cold tone: "Let me do it."

This unexpected proposal made Liu Qingyue stop what she was doing, and she looked at Ji Qingyi inquiringly.

Ji Qingyi was also startled by Gu Ruoxue's behavior. She glanced at Gu Ruoxue in surprise, then nodded slightly, agreeing to her request.

Therefore, Liu Qingyue put down the tea set in her hand and handed the task of brewing tea to Gu Ruoxue.

Gu Ruoxue's technique changed from the previous simplicity to become complicated and elegant, like a classical tea master. She brewed tea with a graceful and dignified technique.

soon--

Two cups of steaming, fragrant and rich tea gradually took shape, and the aroma filled the carriage, making people feel happy.

"Please." After the two cups of fragrant tea were brewed, Gu Ruoxue handed one to Liu Qingyue and the other to Ji Qingyi next to her.

Ji Qingyi hesitated for a moment, but finally took the teacup and took a sip.

In fact, her heart was full of doubts. She didn't understand what Liu Qingyue said to make Gu Ruoxue show such an attitude?

Although she was full of doubts, the most important thing now was to understand what she wanted to know, which was Su Cheng's situation.

Therefore, she suppressed her doubts, put down the teacup, and asked her question in a calm tone.

"Now, can we talk about Su Cheng's situation?" Ji Qingyi tried to maintain her composure.

"If after today we all forget he exists, what will you choose to do?"

There was a deep sense of challenge hidden in Gu Ruoxue's calm tone, which shocked both the master and the servant.

Especially Ji Qingyi, she almost subconsciously blurted out: "Absolutely impossible!"

However, in the next second, Gu Ruoxue answered without hesitation: "Then I can only say that I am very sorry. Based on the information and speculation I know so far, combined with past experiences, this is really possible."

Hearing this answer, Ji Qingyi's pupils suddenly contracted, and her face suddenly became serious: "Is your ring missing?"

"It's still there." Gu Ruoxue lowered her head slightly. She slowly raised one hand, placed it on her collar and clenched it, then released her hand. It was obvious that the ring was still there.

Seeing this, Ji Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief and said sarcastically, "Tell me, what did you find out that made you say such stupid things?"

Gu Ruoxue looked indifferent, as if she didn't feel Ji Qingyi's contempt and ridicule at all.

"Because in the final analysis, in his thinking logic, he thinks that this is the only good ending. He may have obtained a prop that can reset the memories of all of us. He wants to use this to escape the ending he is facing."

This sentence made Ji Qingyi's expression suddenly freeze, and her eyes were full of doubt.

Liu Qingyue and the others all frowned. They all knew that Su Cheng was a somewhat greedy and fragile man who would not easily express his emotions.

So--

Would he choose this way to solve the problem?

Gu Ruoxue raised her head, her eyes were indifferent and deep: "He will not take back your and my things, nor will he make any measures or arrangements. He thinks this is the most perfect result..."

"You and me...?" Ji Qingyi's face froze, and he slowly turned to look at Liu Qingyue next to him, but the other party just turned his head away, looking guilty and as if it was none of his business.

Obviously.

The matter about the marriage certificate has been leaked by the maid.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingyi's expression turned completely cold. She stared at Gu Ruoxue, her tone full of doubt and questioning: "Then why are you so sure it's today?"

This question hung in the air like an unsolved puzzle. They looked at each other, their eyes full of questions and expectations, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

"From the information given by your good maid, and my speculation based on past experience and his character, one of the most obvious characteristics is that he participated in group activities this time."

Gu Ruoxue said calmly.

"Group activities?" Ji Qingyi was stunned and asked back.

"Yes, group activities." Gu Ruoxue nodded and began to explain in detail: "Although he has changed during this period, I'm afraid you can feel it. But in fact, he still resists group activities in his heart, and can even be said to hate them. He usually politely declines to participate with various reasons. But this time, he actually took the initiative to attend a party with people he didn't know that well."

"Can you make a judgment based on this?"

Ji Qingyi asked back.

Ji Qingyi, on the contrary, found this a bit ridiculous. Just because he agreed to attend someone else's birthday party this time, did she dare to conclude that Su Cheng would take action today?

This is a bit too much of a joke!

“Of course it’s not just that.”

Gu Ruoxue shook her head and said, "The most important thing is that he wants to let nature take its course and develop according to the original trajectory."

"Let it be..." Ji Qingyi was stunned when he heard this, because this was exactly what Su Cheng had said many times before. He didn't want to do anything, and didn't want to be anything, which was completely in line with what Gu Ruoxue said now, let it be.

"You mean, he is not willing to make any choice at all now, but instead expects us to take the initiative to choose him?" Liu Qingyue suddenly blurted out this sentence, her bright eyes flashing with a hint of cunning, as if she had seen through something.

"That's right." Gu Ruoxue replied, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Qingyi stared at the two women in front of her, as if some kind of tacit understanding had been established between them, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She frowned and asked the question directly.

"If we all forget his existence, then one thing is certain, that is, we are all back to the starting point." Liu Qingyue pondered for a moment and continued, "Therefore, I speculate that he did not take back the ring and marriage certificate because he wanted to use a competition to see who can remember him first and who can regain their memory first."

The maid Liu Qingyue's guess caused the car to fall into silence, as if even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

Ji Qingyi's face darkened, her brain was like a computer running at overspeed, constantly analyzing the pros and cons of the situation.

In the past, Li Guanqi and Gu Ruoxue forced Su Cheng to make a choice, but now Su Cheng played this competition game in turn. His purpose was obvious, just to satisfy his own bad taste and let them compete for victory.

But why should she get involved?

why?

And why?

Why would she participate in such a vicious competition even though she had never forced Su Cheng to make any binary decision?

Why did she want to participate in this competition with Li Guanqi and Gu Ruoxue? If she lost, it would mean she would lose her memory and might even never remember Su Cheng again?

This is not fair!

Liu Qingyue looked at Ji Qingyi's expression and wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue. She asked in a low voice: "Miss, what have you decided to do?"

The moment she wiped the corner of her mouth, Ji Qingyi suddenly realized that Su Cheng had given her a chance, but she did not choose to accept it.
