Chapter 60: Scammed?

Shi Ran’s figure trembled slightly, and the movement of taking out her phone slowed down noticeably.

"Ranran, no matter what the circumstances are, I am willing to face them together with you," Fang Qingyu offered an encouraging gaze.

Shi Ran clenched her teeth tightly, glanced at the incoming call alert on her phone, and slid to answer.

Yet her hand hovered constantly over the hang-up button; the moment things took a wrong turn, Shi Ran would forcefully...

Even if his biological father was Ling Qingyuan, and even if he was born somewhat earlier than Ling Muchen, he was still an illegitimate son of the Ling family.

Downstairs earlier, reporters who had witnessed the scene just now had already concluded that this man, Pei Anzhi, was someone fiercely protective of his own.

Wait until she fell fast asleep, and he would rise on tiptoe, preparing to head to the firm. He had not forgotten the important appointment scheduled for three o'clock.

Zhen Rou had intended for Cao Jin to let go of his feelings for her, never expecting that the moment he did so, he would immediately go to pay his respects to Zheng Linglong.

The colleagues finishing their shifts were growing bolder by the day. Previously, they would only glance from afar, but now they actually dared to crowd around. One by one, their eyes swept over Xu Junyu, before they cheerfully greeted Su Nuang, exchanged a few casual jests, and departed.

Noticing the trembling of the hand beneath her own, Zhen Rou tightly gripped Zhen Yao’s hands. At this very moment, she found all words to be utterly pale and powerless.

Everyone was accustomed to Li Hongxia’s exclamations upon seeing food. Yet Luo Qingyue felt a pang of sorrow in her heart—children from impoverished families could not even get enough to eat, let alone have money to buy fruit.

Seeing that they were about to pass three zhang beyond the main gate, Zhen Rou was just about to remind Tao Ji to release them, when she saw the person pushing the cart carrying Cao Xin suddenly pivot, forcefully shoving the deer cart back into the interior of the estate.

As the protagonist, Ye Shaochen merely cast a single glance at Selena, remaining entirely unmoved, as if nothing had happened at all.

Her grip on the folding screen tightened fractionally. As she gazed at Rong Ruo standing behind it, her entire body froze in place.

The elder of the Xia family wore an expression of utter reluctance and terror, yet was unable to utter a single word. With a flick of the Second Senior Sister’s wrist, boundless thunder and lightning instantly erupted from her whip, engulfing the Xia family elder. Within the span of a few breaths, the Xia family elder vanished, disappearing from heaven and earth forever.

Beyond the countless star clusters and nebulae, there were countless interstellar fragments and dust. Viewed from afar, this expanse of starry sky resembled a silver disc.

The moment Chu Yao vanished from my field of vision, I recalled my last trip to Jingping. Shi Dong’s abnormal behavior suggested that perhaps he had known about this matter all along.

Brother Mirror had felt a sense of déjà vu upon first laying eyes on that python. Later, he smoothly extracted the memories of his first thirty years from the python’s eyes; however, because the python was already on the verge of collapse at the time, he failed to extract the more crucial memories that followed.

"I should be asking you what this means! How did you fall asleep right here? And just how much wine did you drink?" Fang Ting asked with a hint of reproach.

Having fed Wang Yan his medicinal porridge, Dugu Mei'er retrieved the jade box from the bedside table, scooped out a dollop of ointment, and placed it in the palm of her hand.

Wang Yan obediently rolled over. Although his back felt cool and soothing, movement inevitably brought pain. After wincing and grimacing, Wang Yan lay flat on his back once more.

Drawn by an unseen attraction, the vital Qi surged inward, drilling into Chen Tian’s right index finger like roaring flames, burning fiercely as though intending to reduce his entire finger to ashes.

I hurriedly stopped using Phase Shifting, and my speed slowed down immediately. The two senior sisters vanished into the distance in a flash, and after a dozen minutes, the Third Senior Brother caught up and overtook me.

Damn it, damn it all! Are these good-for-nothing doctors utterly useless? A full day and night have passed, yet they still haven’t managed to wake Ruosheng up.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear—Diaochen’s crow mouth had really managed to hit the nail on the head. In my befuddled state, I had turned myself into Zhu Bajie the good guy, ending up out of favor on all sides.
