In the girls' dormitory of Hongfeng No. 1 High School.
Liu Ruyan was tidying up the things on the bed.
I'm going to Baihai City tomorrow to see that so-called Awakened, Qin Yu. I don't know when I'll be back.
Therefore, I need to go back to the dormitory to pack some clothes and personal items.
" Ruyan, are you really with Ling Yi?" Lin Zhi, the girl with the ponytail, leaned over and asked.
"Yes, I've already met your parents. We'll have our engagement ceremony after I graduate high school," Liu Ruyan said without hiding anything.
That's exactly what Ling's father and mother said.
However, it seems unlikely that she'll be able to get engaged to Ling Yi after graduation this time.
It will most likely take until the world resets and Ling Yi becomes the Protagonist.
"Hmph, Liu Ruyan, you're just bragging. The Ling Clan, a prestigious and powerful family, how could they possibly accept you?" Zhu Xiaoxiao glanced at Liu Ruyan and said Yin and Yang.
Liu Ruyan ignored Zhu Xiaoxiao.
Zhu Xiaoxiao has been behaving this way for the past few days.
If it were the old Liu Ruyan, she might have taken it to heart, after all, Zhu Xiaoxiao was her former good friend and best confidante.
But now, Liu Ruyan doesn't take Zhu Xiaoxiao seriously at all.
In Teacher Xu's words, Zhu Xiaoxiao is the kind of person who is jealous of what others have the most, especially when she lacks something.
Selfish, jealous, and incompetent.
Such people generally face only two outcomes in society.
Either you get beaten to death by someone, or you're despised by everyone, achieving nothing and becoming a nobody in your life.
"Also, don't blame me for not reminding you, Li Lei and the others said that Ling Yi once tried to kill your mother in the hospital, but by some twist of fate, he didn't succeed."
"That Ling Yi is definitely not a good person."
Liu Ruyan put down what she was holding, turned around, and walked step by step toward Zhu Xiaoxiao.
" Zhu Xiaoxiao, do you know that spreading rumors and defamation, if the circumstances are serious, can lead to legal consequences?"
"What rumors and slander? I'm just stating the facts. No, Liu Ruyan, what do you mean? I was just trying to be helpful, and you're blaming me?"
Liu Ruyan's voice was icy cold. "Did you see these things with your own eyes, or did you hear them with your own ears?"
" Li Lei and the others said..."
"You believe everything Li Lei and the others say?"
"They share a dorm with Ling Yi, so what they say can't be false."
"You really are hopeless," Liu Ruyan said coldly.
He then took out his phone and dialed a number directly.
" Uncle Shui, it's me, Ruyan!"
" Ruyan, Miss Ruyan." Uncle Shui, naturally, refers to Shui Huo, the Ling Clan's steward.
Uncle Shui's phone number was given to Liu Ruyan by Ling's father, so that Liu Ruyan could ask this all-powerful Uncle Shui for help when she encountered trouble.
The fact that the Ling family gave Liu Ruyan Uncle Shui's phone number also signifies the Ling Clan's approval of Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "Some people at the school have been framing and slandering Ling Yi. Ling Yi doesn't care about them, but I can't ignore it."
The phone was on speakerphone, so Zhu Xiaoxiao and Lin Zhi naturally heard it.
Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Is Miss Ruyan referring to Li Lei and Zhu Xiaoxiao?"
"Yes, Uncle Shui, I want them to be punished," Liu Ruyan said without any hesitation.
"Actually, these people should have been dealt with long ago, but Young Master Ling is kind-hearted and too lazy to bother with them."
" Li Lei, Zhao Mingliang, and Bai Bo have taken a lot of benefits from our Young Master, but behind his back they've been framing Young Master in all sorts of ways."
"And that Zhu Xiaoxiao, she's even worse. She believes everything she hears. She got a share of the Young Master's 1029 Student Aid Fund. If it weren't for the Young Master, she'd probably be back home farming by now."
Uncle Shui rarely talks this much; he was clearly disgusted by these people.
Furthermore, he was very familiar with the situation of the people around Ling Yi.
" Ruyan worry, Miss Ruyan, I'll make sure they're at least 10 years of sewing machine work."
At this moment, Zhu Xiaoxiao shouted shrilly, "On what grounds? Just because you have money and power, you think you can bully people?"
Uncle Shui on the other end of the phone spoke calmly, " Zhu Xiaoxiao, if you were to slander and frame others, that would be one thing, but you've slandered our Young Master."
"And our Young Master represents the face of the Ling Clan."
"Because of your slander, our Ling Clan has suffered extremely serious negative impact, which once caused our stock price to drop by 3 points."
"Do you know how much money 3 points is? 12 billion. Even if you sold yourself a thousand times, ten thousand times, you still couldn't afford to lose that amount."
"Not to mention, the financial, human, and material resources that our Ling Clan has spent on this public relations effort are astronomical."
"I will have my lawyers sue you in the name of the Ling Group, and I guarantee you'll be working as sewing machines."
Hearing Uncle Shui's words, Zhu Xiaoxiao was stunned. She never expected things to be so serious.
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but sneer.
Those who reap what they sow will not escape punishment.
"Just because you're rich, does that mean you can do whatever you want?"
Uncle Shui sneered, "Heh, utterly foolish."
"Miss Ruyan, please rest assured, Uncle Shui half a day, and I guarantee he'll show them what the ways of the rich are."
"Then I'll have to trouble you Uncle Shui."
"Sigh, what are you saying? We're family, it's our own business, it's not troublesome. Besides, you're just feeling sorry for the Young Master Uncle Shui. Actually, I've wanted to do these things for a long time."
"That's all for now. If you need anything, just Uncle Shui. Don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, Uncle Shui. Goodbye, Uncle Shui."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Ruyan looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao, whose face was pale.
"I can understand your resentment towards the rich. After all, the world is inherently unfair. You are free to complain, Taunt, and feel disgust."
"But your biggest mistake was repeatedly slandering and defaming Ling Yi."
Do you know what a million means? In your eyes, a million is an astronomical figure, one you might never earn in your entire life.
"But in the Ling Clan, a million might just be a day's pocket money."
Similarly, a million dollars could also make you disappear from this world without anyone noticing.
After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, she snorted coldly, picked up her backpack, and turned to leave the dormitory.
"Bang!"
The door was Dali shut.
Zhu Xiaoxiao shuddered and immediately knelt down on the ground.
Lin Zhi was also trembling; it was the first time she had ever seen Liu Ruyan so domineering and irritable.
After leaving the dormitory, Liu Ruyan went directly to meet up with Xu Zhiyi and the Xu Zhiyi.
As for Li Lei and Zhu Xiaoxiao, their fate is predictable given the Ling Clan's intervention.
On the other side, Ling Yi had already arrived at Thousand Mechanisms Town at the foot of Thousand Secrets Mountain.
I randomly picked a hotel to stay in and waited for the full moon three days later.
"System, you mentioned before that Thousand Mountains Company has the means to change the plot, even the plot twists, right?"
[Yes, Thousand Mountains Company can bypass the World Consciousness and alter the plot to a certain extent, even changing the cesium setting.]
"You also said before that my ability to become a time traveler was related to Thousand Mountains Company?"
[Strictly speaking, both the host and I were originally tools chosen by Thousand Mountains Company, but for certain reasons, we escaped Thousand Mountains Company's control.]
"Let me explain some of the reasons."
[The system will inform you of everything once the host returns to the real world.]
"Can't we say now?" Ling Yi frowned.
[It's not that I can't say, it's that saying it would be pointless. If the host cannot return to the real world, it means that both the host and I have already died in this world.]
[Then whether you say it or not, it becomes meaningless.]
"What exactly does this Thousand Mountains Company do? Is it really that mysterious?"
