Chapter 568: Chapter 568 What Luck Does Such a Person Need?

So, there was nothing left to do but to hide in a corner and play dead.

Song Yunuan watched Lin Qing, whose face had twisted in anger.

After a moment of thought, she kindly said, "I’ll keep quiet now, I’ll shut up. You go ahead and speak, tell me what you came here for today!"

For no reason at all, Lin Qing couldn’t have come just to provoke her. Siqi had always been accustomed to looking down on everyone from her lofty position, but she wasn’t stupid.

Lin Qing stood in her way, blocking Song Yunuan’s path.

What could she say?

What could she say that would agitate Song Yunuan enough to make her explode with rage?

She knew that Song Yunuan cherished Song Mingsheng and had once threatened both her and Qin Siqi, but even after all that, she wasn’t angry and didn’t even bother to engage with her, refraining from verbal interactions.

So, what should she say?

If she insulted Song Yunuan, Song Yunuan might not get angry, but she would definitely have her sent to the police station.

At this point, with one trouble following another, how could she afford a trip to the police station?

She couldn’t let her sister worry because of her.

She thought bringing her sister over would lead to better days.

But in reality, her sister hadn’t had many peaceful days since she arrived.

If she made up lies and slander, that would be even worse.

Slap her in the face?

Before she could even get close, she’d probably be kicked away by Song Yunuan.

In that moment, Lin Qing suddenly realized that Song Yunuan’s fate and luck didn’t seem to have much to do with it.

It had to do with her brain.

People with strong organizational skills are also quick to react, meaning they are very smart.

Indeed, how could she not be smart? How else could she have achieved first place in Beiquan Province?

What does such a person need luck for?

A smart head, a sharp tongue, and good physical skills were all she needed.

Song Yunuan had intended to go to the bus station.

It was just a short distance ahead.

But here she was, being blocked by Lin Qing, who didn’t say a word.

Song Yunuan was starting to get impatient, "Do you have something to say or not? If there’s nothing, then I’m leaving."

Lin Qing was frantically calling out to that system in her mind.

"Where are you? Why aren’t you speaking? What should I do now?"

The system was hiding in a corner, it didn’t know what to do either.

But this was how it was set up.

Actually, by all logic, it shouldn’t be so difficult to anger someone.

Could it be because the other person was Song Yunuan?

Song Yunuan saw Lin Qing daze out; as she walked by Lin Qing, she suddenly stopped.

Something seemed off.

Did Lin Qing have something in her hand, something invisible to her, intended to use against her?

But if there was such a thing, she wouldn’t be able to see it either.

Song Yunuan tapped her on the shoulder, "Still daydreaming? Haven’t figured out what to say yet or thinking of some trick? Speak now, or I’m really leaving."

Lin Qing wanted to reach out, but she retracted midway, because she saw Song Yunuan’s face that was smiling but not really smiling.

In that moment, Lin Qing no longer dared to contact the system and beat a retreat.

Today would have to be this way.

Lin Qing lifted her leg and walked away.

But who could have expected that in the next moment, she would be stopped by Song Yunuan again.

Song Yunuan had a smile that wasn’t quite a smile on her face as she said with indifference, "What, you want to leave just like that?"

Lin Qing glared, "Then what do you want?"

"How did you find out about that special management department, did you write that letter?"

Lin Qing knew Song Yunuan was difficult to deal with. She hadn’t written the letter and, feeling a bit ashamed, she said, "I didn’t write it, I lied to you."

"You’re so full of it, lying to me for no reason. Tell me, how did you know about that special management department?"

"After all, I was born here, and I know a lot of people. My grandfather has connections here too, so why wouldn’t I know?"

But Song Yunuan waved her hand, "No, you’re wrong. This isn’t something you can handle just by being born here and having connections. Unless you have some special abilities, you will never be able to get in touch with this department, and they will never let you know they exist."

Lin Qing said angrily, "I just do know, my grandfather told me, but I don’t know where it is, and I didn’t write the letter. That should be enough, right?"

Definitely not something her grandfather told her.

This department is very secretive, she wouldn’t have known without her connections to Gu Huai’an.

Even with connections to Gu Huai’an, if she hadn’t possessed Divine Power, she wouldn’t have known of this department’s existence.

Lin Qing left in a hurry.

As if someone was chasing her from behind.

Though this place was somewhat secluded, students were steadily getting out of school.

And people were gradually starting to fill the street.

Song Yunuan watched Lin Qing’s fleeing figure, curled her lip, and headed towards the bus stop.

In the private room of the mutton restaurant, Xia Xindong silently watched Jin Ju order dishes.

It seemed that she and Little Nuan hadn’t known each other for long and hadn’t interacted much, but she was surprisingly familiar with Little Nuan’s tastes.

What she chose was all that Little Nuan loved to eat.

Xia Xindong’s eyes were gentle, and his voice was warm.

No matter whether Jin Ju’s intentions were deliberate or not, as long as she treated Little Nuan well, he would treat her with kindness.

But Jin Ju probably did it unconsciously; she liked Little Nuan, so she thought of what Little Nuan loved to eat first.

Xia Xindong said gently, "You can’t just pick what Little Nuan loves to eat, choose some of your favorites too. To quote Little Nuan, ’It’s rare for me to come to Beidu, and it’s rare for me to treat someone.’"

Jin Ju looked up, her gaze meeting Xia Xindong’s gentle eyes.

She paused for an instant, then the two of them discreetly looked away from each other.

Jin Ju found that Xia Xindong was always so gentle, whether it was the way he looked at others or the tone of his voice.

But could someone who grew up in such an environment be this tender?

The world was so cruel to him, and yet could he remain gentle to the world as ever?

Does such a person exist?

Jin Ju curved her lips, thinking she was really being too nosy. What did it have to do with her how someone else chose to face the world?

Would it be better if he acted like the whole world owed him something?

Maybe it’s just that the Xia family members are all smart people.

Jin Ju said with a smile, "I don’t know what Mr. Xia likes to eat, so I’ll just order some more here."

Xia Xindong: "Anything is fine..."

Jin Ju laughed, "If I were to go for a bit of awkward humor here, I’d say, ’Sorry, Mr. Xia, there’s no dish called ’anything’ on the menu of this mutton restaurant.’"

Xia Xindong also laughed, "...My tastes are pretty similar to Little Nuan’s, just pick what you like to eat."

Jin Ju was straightforward, "Then I won’t hold back."

By the time Song Yunuan entered, she saw a very harmonious atmosphere in the private room.

Her uncle and Jin Ju were discussing something about medicine.

A new medicine would be released next year.

And the special medicine her uncle had developed last year had already helped many patients walk out of that sealed-off valley.

Old Mr. Gong’s youngest son had been brought back to Beidu by Old Mr. Gong.

He was now recuperating and taking medicine.
