Li Jing thought: this was a piece of cake.
Because the strong little white flower never dared to show any signs of asking for help in front of the male leads, with the current situation of the love triangle/rectangle battlefield steadily advancing, it was definitely very tempting for them to occupy the position of a god in the substitute’s heart.
After all, saving the female lead and then personally torturing her, wasn’t that the basic operation of a male lead in a melodramatic novel?
Handling the gambling debt was also a piece of cake for Fu Lingchu. Within ten minutes, Fu Lingchu’s name appeared on the screen of the small flip phone.
Li Jing pressed the answer button.
After connecting, the man’s voice was cold, with a kind of all-knowing control, announcing the verdict on her.
“I’ve already paid off your uncle’s gambling debt.”
When Fu Lingchu said it, a strange sense of exhilaration surged through his chest.
Li Jing had been so desperate that she must have prayed to God. So, he would be her god, making her kneel at his palm.
—Fu Lingchu’s favorability +1%
Fu Lingchu clearly enjoyed this sense of abuse.
Li Jing didn’t speak immediately, because it would take time to digest this news, which would be natural.
So, she took the opportunity to check the details in the background - Fu Lingchu had paid off her loan bill of over 400,000 yuan this time.
Tsk tsk, Li Jing felt a little regretful. It seemed that Zhao Shi, this gambling addict, was only at this level, not qualified to enter her leek team. This amount of money was nothing to Fu Lingchu, a capitalist, he could earn it with a flick of his finger.
But Fu Lingchu might not realize that every time he spent hundreds of thousands or millions for Li Jing, it seemed like he wasn’t investing much each time, but in Li Jing’s nearly thirty million assets, half of it was contributed by this big sucker.
Hee hee.carpreads.pages.dev
With a grateful heart, Li Jing adjusted her acting state when she spoke, completely like a little white flower battered by wind and rain: “You, how did you know about me?!”
Fu Lingchu didn’t respond.
The next second, the little white flower had reacted, speaking incredulously: “Fu Lingchu, you, you’re monitoring my phone?!”
Fu Lingchu didn’t even bother to deny it, he sneered: “So what? Don’t you remember, I bought your phone.”
The girl on the other end of the phone was speechless.
Even through the phone, Fu Lingchu could imagine the familiar features on her face, revealing an awkward and ashamed expression.
It was pleasing.
“Fu, Ling, Chu,” Li Jing gritted her teeth and asked, “What, what do you want! Do you think that by paying off my gambling debt, I’ll be grateful to you?”
“Shouldn’t you?” Fu Lingchu laughed coldly, “Li Jing, you better understand your situation, if you don’t want to be monitored, then throw away your phone, okay?”
This was a blatant belittlement.
Because he knew that even if Li Jing was monitored by him, even if he violated her privacy without mercy, she wouldn’t have any grounds to fight back.
She didn’t even have the money to buy a new phone, did she?
Ms. Li, who had earned tens of millions by pure leek-cutting: Of course not.
She certainly wouldn’t be willing to throw away her small flip phone!
When she spoke again, Li Jing’s voice was choked with sobs: “Fu Lingchu, don’t… bully others too much…”
Of course Fu Lingchu would bully her too much, he laughed coldly: “I paid off your debt, now I’m your creditor. Your uncle borrowed from a loan shark, I’ll give you a lower interest rate, 4%.”
Damn, he was really a black-hearted capitalist.
“I, I will definitely pay you back! -” Li Jing said fiercely, almost throwing caution to the wind and shouting at him: “Even if I sell myself to Feng Ce, I will pay you back!”
This was obviously a vent of anger.
But the voice on the other end of the phone still roared instantly: “Li Jing!”
Li Jing hung up the phone fiercely, fully expressing the unyielding spirit of the little white flower.
In front of her.
The silver-haired man who had witnessed the whole process had a rather unfathomable expression.
Lu Mian: “Hmm.”
Li Jing looked like she was waiting for praise, her eyes sparkling: “How was it, Teacher Lu, I’m really stable yeah.”
“Indeed,” the man’s light-colored pupils showed a look of affirmation, “but - who is your god?”
Li Jing was about to answer when several new messages came in on her small flip phone, it must be Feng Ce urging her.
She opened them while answering very naturally: “I don’t have a god!”
Since she was a child, her mother had told her that poor children - no, that people should rely on themselves.
So her god was herself!
Lu Mian’s expression remained unfathomable.
Seeing Li Jing about to go to the second male lead’s house to follow the plot, Lu Mian pondered for a moment and asked, “So—what color do you like?”
In order to provide for her future retirement, so she could live happily.
Li Jing heard the question, her eyebrows raised slightly, then a flash of light crossed her clear pupils, falling on her clean, soft hair—
“I like silver.” Li Jing smiled with her eyes curved.
Lu Mian’s fingertips unconsciously curled up: “…uh.”
Sea King.
This is a Sea King.
Effortlessly exuding her charm.
Making people…making gods hard to resist.
Li Jing happily went to complete her task.
Every time she finished talking with Lu Mian, she felt very happy, completely healing the fatigue of conquering three terrible male leads.
She looked at the message box on her small flip phone:
[Where are you? Are you here yet?]
[Address]
Feng Ce kept urging her, Li Jing didn’t want to spend money on a taxi, nor did she want to walk there.
So she replied to Feng Ce: [Sorry, Fu Lingchu…asked me to go to his place.]
System: “As expected of you, you’re playing both sides of the love triangle.”
Li Jing’s expression was calm—
As everyone know, the food that people fight over was the most delicious, and this had been clearly demonstrated in the case of the White Moonlight. This was an inherent flaw that male leads in old-fashioned novels could not escape.
Sure enough, the car sent by Feng Ce quickly stopped on the small road outside the school.
“Miss Li, our young master is looking for you, please.”
Li Jing didn’t even think about running, she got into the car with great satisfaction and was directly sent to the most expensive villa area in the city.
After getting out of the car, Li Jing saw Feng Ce’s large villa.
This area was quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, the architectural style was very modern, yet exuded a luxurious atmosphere everywhere, with complete supporting facilities, very suitable for wealthy people to retire.
Looking at the building in front of her, Li Jing felt a surge of anger.
She had been working for the Transmigration Bureau for so many years and hadn’t lived in a luxurious villa! Feng Ce had lived in one since birth!
Evil capitalists!
Today, she must get Feng Ce’s favorability to 50%!
This line with Feng Ce wasn’t as forceful and domineering as Fu Lingchu, nor as stimulating and complex as Du Jinghuai. His abuse of the substitute female lead all stemmed from his bad temper, and his love for the substitute female lead came from the little bits of companionship he received with each interaction.
Because his fondness for Ye Yan was like this, Ye Yan always appeared when Feng Ce was uncomfortable or unhappy, providing him with timely companionship and comfort, while maximizing her own benefits.
Li Jing: I’m good at this too ^_^
Maximizing benefits and all that stuff.
The doorbell rang three times before the big Young Master Feng lazily opened the door for her.
Because he hated the noise, Feng Ce had chased all the servants out of the villa, except for those who came to cook and clean at fixed times. The rest of the time, he was alone.
Li Jing, clutching her tattered sleeve, looked around Feng Ce’s home, her eyes revealing genuine envy.
—She hadn’t harvested enough leeks!
Let’s charge ahead! Let’s charge!
Feng Ce was indeed sick, his complexion was not good, and his hair was messy from sleep.
But it had to be admitted that his face was still handsome. As the School Hunk who captivated the entire school with every move, Feng Ce’s features were very handsome, and his messy hair added a touch of dishevelment to him.
He was wearing a simple sweatshirt, vaguely outlining the lines of his muscles, with a youthful and vigorous wildness.
Feng Ce shook his hair, frowning at Li Jing: “Why are you so slow? Did Fu Lingchu stop you?”
Hearing Fu Lingchu’s name, Li Jing immediately lowered her head, her porcelain-white face tightening.
This clearly showed that she had been abused.
Feng Ce snorted: “What, did Fu Lingchu exploit you?”
The word “exploit” was used so cleverly.
Li Jing continued to bury her head, shaking her head: “No.”
Feng Ce reached out and lifted her forehead: “Why are you looking so dejected? What did he do?”
Li Jing stubbornly turned her head: “Nothing, he did a good deed, he helped me pay off my debt.”
Feng Ce frowned, Li Jing, a poor student working part-time, what kind of debt could she have?
After all, he was the big Young Master raised by the Feng family, even though Li Jing was evasive, Feng Ce pieced together the truth in a few words—
Fu Lingchu, that old schemer, was he really that desperate for a replacement by his side?
Li Jing’s face showed an expression of awkward humiliation.
It was actually quite beautiful, the delicate features on her pale skin were brought to life by the expression, even her tightly pursed lips were beautiful.
Feng Ce thought to himself—then why can’t I have both?
He was the big Young Master of the Feng family, the future heir to the conglomerate, was it too much to have both the White Moonlight and the replacement?
With his status and Li Jing’s situation, he could do whatever he wanted.
—“I’ll pay off the gambling debt you owe Fu Lingchu.”
Feng Ce suddenly spoke, Li Jing looked up in surprise.
The young man smiled arrogantly and maliciously.
He grabbed Li Jing’s arm, stared at her porcelain-white face, and said: “You don’t have money to pay me back, it’s fine, just use—your body to pay me back.”
Li Jing’s eyes widened instantly.
—Feng Ce’s favorability +2%
Li Jing: Who is he trying to make laugh?
Young people were like that, they might not be good at fighting, but they could say something provocative to get their own hearts racing and make themselves blush.
Compared to Fu Lingchu and Du Jinghuai, those two old men, young master Feng was just innocent and at kindergarten level. If you want to see exciting plots, you have to look at the male lead number one and male lead number three.
But Li Jing, of course, couldn’t show that she looked down on the male lead number two.
Her face was even paler than before, her eyelashes fluttering. Feng Ce watched her with amusement, even thinking maliciously, if he really did something, would Li Jing cry in humiliation?
But Li Jing didn’t say anything.
As if she was numb from the hurt, after a while, she raised her clear eyes and asked softly:
“You, aren’t you hungry?”
Feng Ce had been sick and had no appetite, he hadn’t eaten anything for almost a day, now he suddenly felt hungry.
“……A little.” Feng Ce answered subconsciously.
Li Jing smiled in her heart, a child, it’s too easy.
This was one of her tricks in the world, usually when asked like this, people would feel psychologically hungry, and she would have to take advantage of the situation and show some concern.
“Feng Ce, you helped me deal with the hot search, I have nothing to repay you, so I’ll cook you a meal.”
The strong little white flower, she will forget the harm you have done to her, but she will remember your little kindness! So touching!
Feng Ce was stunned for a moment, he had forgotten the provocative words he had just said.
He wanted to mock Li Jing, saying that all she could cook was peasant food, but he couldn’t say it—because Ye Yan had done the same, he missed it to this day, no one had done that for him anymore.
If Li Jing cooked for him… Feng Ce actually felt a sense of anticipation.
So Li Jing got up and went to the kitchen, as soon as she entered, she saw a table full of dishes on the dining table, the big Young Master hadn’t touched them at all.
The Feng family hired chefs, even if the food was cold, it was still delicious and visually appealing, Li Jing cursed the male lead for wasting food in her heart, then—
She picked out two dishes she liked and reheated them.
She turned to open Feng Ce’s refrigerator, and saw it was full of various high-end ingredients, as well as various imported seasonings. Li Jing clicked her tongue, took out the best pre-made vegetable package.
The seasoning was already pre-mixed, she just had to cook it and plate it.
So she cooked for Feng Ce, but in reality, she didn’t do anything complicated from beginning to end. But Li Jing acted very busy, rushing from one side of the kitchen to the other, making herself look flustered.
Feng Ce stood outside the kitchen, silently watching Li Jing’s back in the kitchen, not saying a word for a long time.
He felt like his head was a little dizzy from being sick, and he actually found that figure strangely comforting.
It was like his sister.
But he knew clearly that it was Li Jing.
—Feng Ce’s favorability +1%
Li Jing happily finished plating the dishes, and also brought out two plates of the chef’s dishes, anyway, Feng Ce didn’t know what was on the table.
Three dishes, two bowls of rice, a simple meal.
Feng Ce had not had such an experience in a long time.
He didn’t say anything lewd, nor did he mock Li Jing again. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
As a result, because the two dishes Li Jing had chosen contained chili peppers, Feng Ce’s cold worsened after he finished eating.
His throat was uncomfortable, and he angrily threw down his chopsticks and started coughing.
“You goddamn—cough, cough, what did you make?!”
“Sorry, I, I—” Li Jing frantically poured him some water, “I didn’t know it would be like this…”
After all, she really wanted to try the chili stir-fry made by the chef!
“Cough, cough, it’s all your goddamn fault!”
Feng Ce wasn’t actually that bad, but he didn’t know why, he just wanted to act like he was very sick.
He pointed at her while coughing incessantly.
Li Jing didn’t have much experience taking care of people. She was full of panic: “Then, I’ll go buy you some medicine!”
Feng Ce didn’t tell her that he had several personal doctors, and his home had a medicine cabinet that was like a small hospital.
It was just… having someone around to fuss over him, to personally run out and buy him medicine, was… a very novel experience.
So Feng Ce snorted coldly from his nostrils: “Hurry up and go!”
Li Jing ran out of Feng Ce’s villa in a panic.
Behind her, the corners of Feng Ce’s lips uncontrollably curled up.
The system asked Li Jing: “Host, are you really going to buy medicine for Feng Ce?”
As soon as Li Jing was out of Feng Ce’s sight, she slowed down, leisurely and unhurriedly walking outwards.
—Spending money on the male lead? No way.
Medicine is so expensive these days.
Gotta find someone and spend their money √
As soon as Li Jing stepped out of Feng Ce’s villa, the system’s location prompt arrived.
Fu Lingchu’s limited edition Maybach was parked in front of Feng Ce’s villa.
The young president, dressed impeccably in a suit, got out of the car. Fu Lingchu’s face was gloomy as he said to Li Jing, “Come here.”
He had rushed over after an important meeting, but he didn’t expect this fake Li Jing to actually go to Feng Ce’s house. It seemed she still didn’t understand her situation and identity.
Fu Lingchu told Li Jing to come over, but in the end, he walked over to her himself.
“—I heard that young master Feng has been feeling under the weather these past few days,” Fu Lingchu looked down at her with a mocking smile, “What, you didn’t manage to sell yourself?”
Li Jing: Mmm.
Inspiration struck, she decided to cut this old dog’s balls.
“Feng Ce is sick!” Li Jing stubbornly held her slender neck high, her eyes filled with hatred and unwillingness, “But Feng Ce said—”
“—Even if he’s sick, he can still beat you ten times!”
System: “???”
If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, it would have almost burst out laughing.
The male lead is being forced into the love triangle battleground, huh??
Fu Lingchu: “…”
He directly burst into laughter.
With Fu Lingchu’s status and identity, he wouldn’t go and verify such nonsense, of course.
His laughter was laced with malice, “Is that so? Then I hope young master Feng recovers quickly.”
After speaking, Fu Lingchu raised his hand.
Within a few minutes, the omnipotent assistant had brought over a bag of medicine, containing everything from cold and fever remedies to headache and brain-related medications. The efficiency was very satisfying to Li Jing.
Fu Lingchu grabbed her wrist: “Come with me.”
“Wait!—” Li Jing pulled back.
Fu Lingchu narrowed his eyes: “What, are you really reluctant to leave?”
Knowing she couldn’t escape his grip, Li Jing pursed her lips and lowered her head: “Can I… write a note?”
Her life principle: Doing good deeds must be acknowledged.
Even if it’s a freebie, it’s a good thing ^_^
-—–
Thus.
Feng Ce, who was waiting at home for Li Jing to return, only received a bag of medicine in the end.
He was originally going to storm out in a rage, but then he saw a note on top.
It was Li Jing’s delicate handwriting, with her signature, telling him to remember to take the medicine and get well soon.
She… even though she was taken away by the person who bullied her, she still thought about leaving the medicine she bought for him.
Even Ye Yan couldn’t do that.
For some reason, Feng Ce’s heart skipped a beat.
So, Li Jing in Fu Lingchu’s car heard the system prompt as she wished:
—Feng Ce’s favorability +5%
Over 50% hahaha.
Young master Feng!
Come and beat up ten Fu Lingchus, young master Feng!
