YM778.TV Chapter 25
However, their friend requests have not been accepted even after waiting for one whole night.
The next morning, Ruan Mengmeng ran into the Bishōnen and the Shota boy just when she entered the dining room. The Bishōnen had dark under-eye circles whereas the Shota boy had a cold expression.
“What’re you looking at? Haven’t you seen somebody who burnt the midnight oil before?!” Known for his bad temper, the Shota boy glared at Ruan Mengmeng as he said angrily. He then took his plate and sat at a nearby seat.
Li Junche was staring at her coldly as well, but he averted his gaze as soon he remembered Big Brother’s warning.
“Bring breakfast up to my room. I’ll eat it upstairs.”
Li Junche fled the scene after saying that.
He was afraid that he could not help but reach out to knead Ruan Mengmeng’s pink and tender cheeks.
Ruan Mengmeng ate her breakfast in confusion.
As for Li Junyu who left in anger last night, he did not show up this morning.
It was for the best! She did not want to see him!
After eating, Ruan Mengmeng went upstairs and chatted with Chen Qingzhi. She only went back to her room after seeing that Chen Qingzhi was tired and needed to rest.
The next two days of her life were basically a repetition of what happened on the first day.
Besides eating and accompanying Chen Qingzhi, she spent the whole day earning money by playing games in her room.
In addition to playing games on her phone, she even asked Uncle Zhao to get her a high-spec laptop with the excuse that she needed one for school-based research.
After three days, Ruan Mengmeng’s eyes gleamed in delight when she saw that there was 20,000 RMB in her bank account. The corner of her lips curled up and two shallow dimples appeared on her face.
At this rate, it would not be long before she could save up the amount needed for the detective agency.
Suddenly, there was a pop-up message from her usual QQ group. It was from a studio that she previously worked with.
“Lord Moe, there’s an urgent request for you. The client wants you to reach the highest rank in King of Honors in one day, and the price is not bad. Are you in?”
“Not at the moment,” she typed. “I need to do something tomorrow, so I’ll have to rest early today.”
Tomorrow was the first day of school, and she would have to listen to a lecture given by her former class teacher.
She was an important person to be looked after in her class. Her class teacher, Old Zhang, was quite nice to her, apart from being slightly naggy.
“Lord Moe, didn’t you say that you’re in need of money lately? Live broadcasts are a thing right now, so why don’t you go live as well, since your skills are so amazing? I know a broadcast platform that is short of people.”
Ruan Mengmeng thought about it for a moment. She then decided to reject the offer as going live meant revealing her true face.
She thanked the studio for the offer and went offline.
Right after she shut down her computer, her previous phone with the cracked screen rang out suddenly.
It was a customized ringtone. She immediately picked up the call automatically.
“Hello, dad...?” Ruan Mengmeng was thrilled as her father was finally giving her a call.
“It’s me,” Old Madam Ruan’s icy cold voice rang out from the other end.
What excitement that she had died down immediately by the cold voice.
“Oh. Grandmother... What can I do for you?”
“You little brat, is this how you talk to your grandmother?!”
Old Madam Ruan said with a hint of anger as she still remembered that it was Ruan Mengmeng who pushed Qin Fang down the stairs.
She would never let it slide if anything were to happen to her grandson.
“I don’t care where you are now, come home next weekend. There’s something you need to do.”
Old Madam Ruan was not worried at all whether Ruan Mengmeng had a place to stay or if she was eating well.
She had left her family for three days, and the first phone call she got from them was just about this small matter.
Ruan Mengmeng refused and said, “I’m not free next week.”
“You little brat, just do as I say! Did you think I’d call you if it wasn’t for your grandfather?!”
Upon hearing her words, Ruan Mengmeng was slightly shocked. “What’s wrong with Grandfather? Has his condition gotten worse again?”
“Bah! Don’t you dare curse your Grandfather! Just do as I say, come home next week, or else you won’t get to see him again!”
After scolding her, Old Madam Ruan hung up the phone.
“Mother, Mengmeng had already been forced to leave home. Why... Why would you say such things?”
Ruan Zhaotian who overheard the call could not help but stand up for Ruan Mengmeng.
“Forced to leave?! Who forced her to leave?! She dug her own grave!”
Old Madam Ruan sneered coldly and could not care less.
“Let me make this clear. Don’t be soft-hearted when she comes home next week. When she was admitted to the hospital after she fell down the stairs, we saw everything. There were kiss marks all over her neck and chest, proving that she was with some other men. Gu Xuan will be hurt if he continues to stay with her!”
“Even so, it’s still not right to ask Mengmeng to come back and explain it to father, isn’t it? The Gu family had already called off the engagement, and Gu Xuan has cut all ties with her too.”
“Bah! Your father is not aware that the Gu family had called off the engagement. If she doesn’t admit that it was her fault, if she doesn’t tell your father that she doesn’t deserve Gu Xuan, your father will never allow Gu Xuan to date Ruan Jiaojiao. Anyway, you stay out of this, I have my way of handling it!”
