“What time is it now?”
Bai RouRou felt like she was about to be cooked alive, and it had been a whole night since she last went to the bathroom.
She hadn’t slept well last night either.
After putting on that strange outfit, Cai Jing’er had bullied her for a while, even blocking her breathing holes from time to time, tormenting her until she was barely conscious.
“If I’m really locked in here for the whole weekend, I’m afraid I’ll suffocate to death.”
All of that was still bearable, but what really weighed on Bai RouRou was the emptiness and fear from having all her senses sealed off.
She couldn’t perceive the passage of time or even know where she was, relying solely on Cai Jing’er sending her bits of information through the earpiece.
And once the earpiece was turned off, she was like a blind, deaf mute—just a toy for others to manipulate.
Right now, all she knew was that Cai Jing’er had pulled her off the bed. Other than that, she had no idea what was happening and couldn’t do anything.
She was about to suffocate!
“Wuwuwu…”
The girl suddenly made some sounds, drawing the attention of the two others.
“What’s wrong?”
Gong Nanxue looked up and down at her in confusion.
“Don’t mind her. She makes noises like this occasionally.”
Cai Jing’er waved her hand dismissively, then quietly turned on the speaker inside Bai RouRou’s ear.
If nothing went wrong, using a little trick from here on, Bai RouRou would probably give up on Gong Nanxue completely, right?
“Be careful not to cause any trouble.”
Gong Nanxue said casually but kept her gaze fixed on the girl.
She suddenly felt that the girl’s figure resembled Bai RouRou’s somewhat, though the waist wasn’t as ridiculously slim.
But how could this girl’s waist be so thin?
It felt like it would break with even a little force.
The moment Bai RouRou’s hearing was restored, she immediately caught Gong Nanxue’s voice, and her delicate body shuddered violently.
She knew Gong Nanxue’s voice better than anyone else; there was no way she could have mistaken it.
Why was Gong Nanxue here? Did Cai Jing’er deliberately invite her?
Had Gong Nanxue seen her like this?
“Let’s go to the living room and talk.”
Cai Jing’er didn’t forget to bring Bai RouRou along and headed to the living room.
She expertly pushed the girl to the floor and stepped on her with both feet.
“By the way, Xue’er, you seemed so agitated yesterday. Was it because that Bai RouRou made you unhappy?”
Gong Nanxue, who had been staring absentmindedly at the black doll, immediately snapped back to attention at Cai Jing’er’s question.
“Something like that.”
Whenever Bai RouRou was mentioned, Gong Nanxue couldn’t help but think of the girl who was currently under Cai Jing’er’s feet.
Could she really tolerate being humiliated like that just for some money?
Her mood instantly soured.
She realized she was unusually affected by Bai RouRou’s presence lately, even when Bai RouRou wasn’t around at all.
“What did Bai RouRou do? Can you tell me?”
“Jing’er, you wouldn’t know.”
Out of irritation, Gong Nanxue didn’t hold back this time, venting everything at once.
“That Bai RouRou, she keeps saying she likes me, loves me so much, but in reality, she’s playing games like this with other people.”
Gong Nanxue’s delicate face was filled with anger.
“I originally thought she only did those things at Yuehua Garden, but it turns out it was far worse.”
“I knew Bai RouRou was a schemer.”
Cai Jing’er replied, placing her phone on the coffee table while deliberately pressing down harder with her feet on the girl’s body, as if reminding her to pay attention.
“You’ve got a good eye, Jing’er.”
Gong Nanxue nodded in approval, then continued, “So I cut ties with Bai RouRou and blocked all her contact info. But that girl kept sending bentou to my house, pretending to care about my diet. It’s disgusting.”
“Sending bentou to your house?”
Hearing this, Cai Jing’er frowned slightly and looked down at Bai RouRou with a mixture of warmth and anger.
So Bai RouRou still hasn’t given up, huh?
Come to think of it, she had indeed seen Bai RouRou’s bentou recently but didn’t pay it much mind.
She hadn’t expected Bai RouRou to be secretly trying to win over Gong Nanxue.
Without thinking twice, Cai Jing’er activated the electric shock.
“Wuwuwu!”
The girl immediately struggled, crying out in pain repeatedly.
“What’s happening?”
Gong Nanxue was startled again.
“Oh, like I said, this girl always cries out like that from time to time. Just ignore her.”
Gong Nanxue glanced at the writhing girl, feeling a bit strange.
Why did she look so miserable?
Cai Jing’er timed it well and turned off the electric shock.
The intensity was still quite high; if the girl fainted, the game would be over.
“Xue’er, you must be pretty annoyed now. How about I help you get rid of Bai RouRou?”
“Get rid of her? How?”
Gong Nanxue frowned.
“You’re not going to do anything illegal, are you?”
“Don’t worry, it’s completely legal and compliant. I just need you to agree so I can use some of your resources.”
“Hey, what resources do I have?”
Gong Nanxue waved her hand.
“Hey, if you hadn’t invited me to invest in Jingxue Capital, I wouldn’t have any say in A City.”
“That’s mutual benefit. You handle these things way better than I do anyway.”
Bai RouRou, who had her earpiece turned on, heard all this clearly, and waves of shock and anger surged through her heart.
What did this mean?
The violent and perverted Cai Jing’er’s background and power all came from Gong Nanxue?
So what she had been enduring all this time was because of Gong Nanxue?
Why did Gong Nanxue say she had no money? Why did she lie to her?
A mix of indescribable grievance and fury exploded inside Bai RouRou, and with a swoosh, she broke free from Cai Jing’er’s feet with immense strength.
But just as she stood up, the electric shock knocked her back to the ground.
The girl’s sudden action surprised Gong Nanxue.
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know.”
Cai Jing’er shrugged with a clueless expression.
“Maybe she’s itching for another electric shock.”
“You have more influence in A City. You decide, but don’t go too far.”
Gong Nanxue didn’t pay much attention and resumed chatting with Cai Jing’er about company matters.
Meanwhile, Bai RouRou, enduring the electric shocks, felt utterly wronged.
Why did everyone have to deceive and torment her?
Why was the violent girl bullying her connected to Gong Nanxue?
Why treat her like this when all she wanted was just to cook a meal?
“That girl sounds like she’s crying.”
Gong Nanxue heard the girl’s whimper and thought it sounded like crying.
“That’s not important. She occasionally howls like that; I’m used to it. Xue’er, why do you care about someone so irrelevant?”
Seeing Cai Jing’er say that, Gong Nanxue didn’t press further and continued discussing company matters.
