As dawn broke, Qiao Ci was woken by the considerate alarm clock, Little Spoon. Today, Little Spoon was unusually quiet, eagerly preparing to record the scene of Qiao Ci working.
It had already thought of a title: "The Years When the Great Boss Went to Work in the Fields."
Upon arriving at the assembly point, she saw Li Wushuang standing beside Lu Ming, as if afraid others wouldn't know they were dating. Her body was practically leaning into Lu Ming.
Her fair and tender little face was full of smugness. She wondered what she was so proud of.
Seeing Qiao Ci, Li Wushuang's eyes lit up.
She thought Qiao Ci wouldn't come. Seeing that she and Lu Ming had become a couple, Qiao Ci must be very angry, right?
However, Qiao Ci walked past her without a glance, going to stand beside Zhou Ye.
Li Wushuang stared enviously at her delicate skin that seemed like it could be broken by a single touch. The stylish clothes she wore highlighted her figure and looked expensive.
Li Wushuang had only been reborn; her perspective hadn't improved much, so she didn't know the value of these clothes. But she knew Qiao Ci was the only daughter of the richest man in R City, which was why she had so many new clothes every day.
At this moment, Li Wushuang's eyes greedily scanned Qiao Ci's entire body. As long as she married Lu Ming, who was also a second-generation rich heir, she could live such a life in the future. Not to mention that she had the spiritual spring, and her future would only be better than Qiao Ci's!
However, seeing Qiao Ci's expressionless face, Li Wushuang felt a little uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to speak: "Great, Qiao Ci, you're here. Hee hee, we can finally start working."
Qiao Ci, who had just stabilized her stance, couldn't help but pause. She glanced at Li Wushuang lightly: "Whether we start or not doesn't depend on me, but on whether the time has come."
Do people who are reborn not use their brains? She could say such things, as if she were afraid others wouldn't know she wanted to target her.
Seeing Qiao Ci's cold expression, Li Wushuang looked at Lu Ming pitifully: "Brother Lu, did I say something wrong?"
Lu Ming, seeing that Qiao Ci was speaking so unpleasantly, began to defend his girlfriend: "Qiao Ci, Shuangshuang is just greeting you normally. Why are you being so passive-aggressive?"
Qiao Ci was too lazy to bother with him and turned to ask Zhou Ye, "Why didn't I see you in the big cafeteria this morning? Did you eat breakfast?"
Zhou Ye was still confused about yesterday's conversation. Seeing Qiao Ci proactively asking him, he replied, "Uh, no. I didn't sleep well last night and woke up late today."
"Hmm, wake up early in the future and remember to eat breakfast." Qiao Ci didn't say much more, just a friendly reminder.
Unaccustomed to being cared for, Zhou Ye let out an awkward "en" and turned his head to look elsewhere. At this moment, he still couldn't believe that Qiao Ci, this rich young lady, would like him and want to marry him.
His hands were in his pockets, and two long, slender, and powerful fingers tightly clutched the household registration booklet. He, who had always been indifferent, felt ashamed for the first time.
What if she was just saying it?
But what if, what if she was serious…
Seeing that Qiao Ci was actually showing concern for Zhou Ye and completely ignoring her words, Lu Ming's face turned green. He felt like he had been publicly humiliated.
Li Wushuang saw that Qiao Ci was deliberately ignoring Lu Ming, so she took a step forward, looking at Qiao Ci who was exchanging pleasantries with Zhou Ye, and said loudly: "Qiao Ci, didn't you hear Brother Lu talking to you? Are you pretending not to hear? Isn't that impolite?"
Qiao Ci then turned her head: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Of course, it has something to do with me!" Li Wushuang had been waiting for this question. She puffed out her well-developed chest. "Brother Lu and I are in a romantic relationship!"
"A romantic relationship? Then remember to keep your dog on a leash and don't bark randomly." Qiao Ci said indifferently.
"Qiao Ci, what do you mean?" Lu Ming, whose face turned red with anger as the girl he used to have feelings for was now being sarcastic towards him, looked like he was about to make a move.
Qiao Ci was not afraid of him and replied directly: "Let me show you what passive-aggression is! Alright, you can shut up. Don't talk to me if there's nothing important, I don't like listening."
"You!" Lu Ming said, about to step forward.
Zhou Ye stepped forward and stood in front of Qiao Ci, raising an eyebrow and asking roguishly, "What do you mean, 'you'?"
Qiao Ci was his teammate, after all. Was Lu Ming bullying her so openly without giving him any face?
"Heh, weren't you disdainful of Qiao Ci before? What? You think you can take her now that I don't want her? You're not even good enough." Lu Ming had only recently met Qiao Ci and didn't know her family background. However, judging from the food and rare items she gave him, her family should be well-off, not something a wild child like Zhou Ye, who was left to fend for himself, could aspire to.
Pushing Zhou Ye aside, Qiao Ci looked at Lu Ming with disdain, scanning him up and down: "Do you even think before you speak? Putting aside our past relationship, wasn't it because you were messing around with Li Wushuang?"
Li Wushuang said righteously: "We are not messing around, we are in a legitimate relationship. Unlike you, coming out of Zhou Ye's yard so early in the morning, truly shameless."
"Whether you were messing around or not, everyone around knows it. You clearly have no chastity but want to set up a chaste monument for yourself. You want to have your cake and eat it too?" Qiao Ci finished speaking and changed the subject.
"As for why I came out of Zhou Ye's yard, you should ask why you pushed me into the river? Weren't you waiting for him to save me, and then tie us together so you and Lu Ming could go from secret to public? Or, did you really want to drown me?"
"You, you're talking nonsense! When did I push you!" At first, she hadn't mentioned being pushed. She hadn't expected her to suddenly bring it up now. Li Wushuang's expression was flustered as she retorted.
Realizing she had even blurted out her country dialect and afraid Lu Ming would laugh at her, she was almost crying from anxiety.
"Qiao Ci, don't slander me! If you talk like this, you will ruin her directly." Lu Ming looked at Qiao Ci with disappointment in his eyes and said coldly.
Qiao Ci ignored him and looked at Li Wushuang, her eyes clear: "The net of heaven is vast and its mesh is coarse, but eventually, what is owed must be repaid."
Li Wushuang couldn't back down at this moment. She also said with full confidence: "If I didn't do it, I didn't do it. Qiao Ci, if you keep talking nonsense like this, I won't show leniency to you just because you're a sent-down youth."
She could enter her space at any time. Qiao Ci had been washing her feet by the river that day, and she had pushed Qiao Ci only after confirming that there was no one around.
Who knew that Qiao Ci not only didn't die but was also saved by Zhou Ye? She then proceeded to the next step and fooled the gossipy old women in the village. She wanted to drive Qiao Ci away with rumors, but she didn't expect her to have the thick skin to stay.
Moreover, for some reason, she had found out about her relationship with Lu Ming, which was infuriating.
In her past life, she had occupied Lu Ming for a lifetime. Couldn't she gracefully give him up to herself in this life?
"What do you plan to do not to show me leniency? Are you going to kill me again?" Qiao Ci looked at her with sharp eyes. Damn it, people like this could even get a chance to be reborn.
