Chapter 58: Leng Wanqiu Wants to Use Song Wanrou!

"Yes, I really like Teacher Yu Qiuyu."

"Of the trilogy, the other two, *Free Wanderer* and *A Thousand-Year Sigh*, I've both read."

"What a coincidence, this sister. May I ask which school you're from?"

Chen Xi wore a faint smile on his face.

Within three sentences, he was eagerly trying to learn Song Wanrou's information.

Song Wanrou gave a gentle smile.

"I'm a student at Shanghai Conservatory of Music."

"What's your name, sister?"

"My name is Song Wanrou."

"Hello, I'm Chen Xi."

Chen Xi extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Song Wanrou.

But Song Wanrou was disgusted to the extreme; she had no desire to have any contact with this person at all, so she smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I promised my younger brother that I wouldn't chat up strange men outside, and definitely wouldn't have any contact with strange men."

Chen Xi's expression turned awkward for a moment.

He cursed inwardly.

It's Song Mo again—why does that guy always obstruct him at every turn?

But the more it was like this, the more a desire to break free from shackles rose in Chen Xi's heart, the more he wanted to seize everything Song Mo possessed.

"Your younger brother?"

"This sister, you have a younger brother too?"

Chen Xi pretended not to know.

Song Wanrou looked at the blankness on his face, and in her heart she found him even more hypocritical.

How could Chen Xi possibly not know her?

How could he possibly not know the relationship between Song Mo and her?

The other party paid such close attention to Song Mo, treating Song Mo as an imaginary enemy every moment, and she herself had appeared alongside Song Mo on Kuaishou videos.

"My younger brother's name is Song Mo. He's a student at Modu University."

Song Wanrou's expression was calm and composed.

Because the information she held completely surpassed Chen Xi's, Song Wanrou possessed a calm confidence of having the situation entirely under her control.

The game had only just begun.

She would quietly watch to see how the clown would rack his brains putting on an ugly performance before her, completely unaware of himself.

Chen Xi exclaimed in surprise: "Song Mo?"

"Which Song Mo?"

Song Wanrou cooperated with a proud tone:

"The one who's really popular on Kuaishou—that's my younger brother!"

Here, she was essentially playing herself.

All of Song Mo's achievements were her reason for pride, and the comfort of being an elder sister.

Chen Xi saw the expression on Song Wanrou's face that didn't seem feigned, and a nameless flame in his heart blazed up furiously.

He once again swore to himself that he would, through his own efforts and by any means necessary, seize everything Song Mo possessed!

He wanted Song Mo to taste the feeling of having nothing at all!

"It turned out to be him!"

Chen Xi was utterly astonished.

"What a coincidence?"

Song Wanrou looked at Chen Xi with a strange gaze. Chen Xi explained: "I'm also a student at Modu University. Your younger brother Song Mo is my classmate, sister."

Song Wanrou covered her lips and said in surprise: "Is it really such a coincidence?"

"If that's the case, the two of us really do have fate!"

【This person is really disgusting—every word out of his mouth is 'sister.' Am I that close to him? My younger brother is only one person, named Song Mo. I don't recall having another disgusting piece of trash named Chen Xi.】

Chen Xi didn't know that Song Wanrou was disgusted with him to the extreme. He only felt he was performing well, so he pressed his advantage:

"Since we have such fate, sister, let's add each other on WeChat. Song Mo and I are very good friends at school!"

The innocent smile on Chen Xi's face was even more genuine than Ding Zhen's.

If Song Wanrou didn't clearly know his deeds and the filthy thoughts in his heart, she probably would have been deceived too.

Song Wanrou very happily gave her WeChat ID to Chen Xi.

The two added each other.

The two then chatted about many other topics.

At this time, Chen Xi didn't know that every single one of his actions was being recorded—video and audio—and all of it was being reported to Leng Wanqiu.

……

Leng Wanqiu looked at Chen Xi on the screen, and Song Wanrou whom she'd seen that day at Dihao Hotel, and her heart was instantly filled with pleasant surprise.

"I didn't expect there'd be an unexpected gain?"

Leng Wanqiu instantly felt she had seized an opportunity.

This was a chance to improve the relationship between herself and Song Mo!

Song Mo was simply too closed off!

Leng Wanqiu had already realized that under normal circumstances, Song Mo's rejection of her meant the two of them didn't even have a chance to properly communicate.

What's more, her previous behavior had also cost her a lot of points in Song Mo's eyes.

She had to prescribe a strong remedy!

Regardless of whether it could change Song Mo's mind!

First, at the very least, she had to get Song Mo to interact with her!

As for why she cared so much about Song Mo?

After learning that Chen Xi had been deceiving her all along, the image of him as the bright moon in her heart had completely shattered in Leng Wanqiu's eyes; even every ounce of sincerity from the past had turned into Leng Wanqiu's clown memories.

She felt that the humiliation Chen Xi had brought her was even worse than Song Mo's blunt contempt!

Chen Xi had already been cast out from Leng Wanqiu's heart!

However!

The empty space in Leng Wanqiu's heart still needed to be filled.

Who could she use to fill it?

Leng Wanqiu thought of Song Mo.

Although Song Mo had been humiliating her in his heart all along—even a kind of contempt that completely denied her character—and in his inner voice he also mocked her appearance constantly.

But Leng Wanqiu could feel it.

Song Mo was disgusted with her past-life self. She had clearly been reborn and transformed under Song Mo's help and companionship, yet after her transformation she had abandoned him and, clinging to her old obsession, kept pestering Chen Xi instead.

He was always cursing her as a fat old hag, a fat pig—that was him venting the resentment in his heart. In reality, Song Mo was a person who respected others' looks very much.

Leng Wanqiu had never heard Song Mo make any comments about other people's appearances in his inner voice, which confirmed this point.

Speaking of Song Mo's resentment, putting herself in his shoes, it was just like Leng Wanqiu's current utter disappointment in Chen Xi, even hatred to the bone.

Was Song Mo feeling just as miserable back then?

Leng Wanqiu felt guilt for the first time.

She murmured softly:

"Actually, if there really were such a person, who could silently stay by my side when I grew ugly from illness, and help me cure the ailment and be reborn in transformation—"

"How happy a thing that would be…"

"Song Mo's past-life me is not the current me. As long as Song Mo is willing to help me one more time, let alone me, whatever he wants, I'll give it to him."

"What does it matter?"

Thinking this way, Leng Wanqiu felt relieved.

She hadn't done anything wrong now.

At most, she had previously helped Chen Xi and suppressed Song Mo.

But hadn't she failed to succeed?

As the saying goes, he who knows his faults and mends them is greatly to be commended. Since Song Mo was such a good person, what harm would there be in forgiving her one more time?

Looking at the live video the private detective had given her, the gentle smile on Song Wanrou's face, and Chen Xi's eager manner.

Leng Wanqiu let out a creepy laugh.

"Hehehe…"

"Song Wanrou, I remember when I saw you at the Emperor Hao Hotel, your relationship with Song Mo seemed pretty good, didn't it? You clearly knew Chen Xi was Song Mo's enemy."

"But now you're chatting and laughing with Chen Xi like this—does Song Mo know?"

"Having such a good brother as Song Mo, and yet still betraying him for a two-faced green-tea scumbag like Chen Xi…"

"Then let me lend you a hand and lock you down with this scumbag."

"Do me a small favor too."

"Ease the conflict between me and Song Mo, and let me take your place as the one standing by Song Mo's side."

"How about it?"
