27: Chapter 27 Were you jealous of my success back then?

Downstairs from the rental apartment.

Luo Wei and the two women sat down in the car.

Gu Nanqiao was organizing her jewelry, feeling both sentimental and relieved.

Liu Zhixu was clamoring excitedly; after this incident, Du Jialing's family would definitely not dare to bully Gu Nanqiao again.

Luo Wei was about to start the car.

A pleasant system notification sound appeared.

【Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point】

All three pieces of intelligence refreshed today had been successfully grasped!

A pleasant smile curled at the corner of Luo Wei's mouth, but in the next second, he froze.

Because the bad luck talisman attached to Zhong Zijie had actually returned automatically!

There was only one reason for the bad luck talisman to return automatically.

And that was the death of the target person!

In other words, Zhong Zijie was dead!

Luo Wei felt very surprised by this.

That Zhong Zijie was simply too unlucky, wasn't he?

The bad luck talisman had been on him for less than an hour, and he had actually died from bad luck!

Zhong Zijie must have died in Du Jialing's home. If he wasn't mistaken, that mother and daughter definitely wouldn't dare to make a sound about it.

Luo Wei guessed correctly. After discovering that Zhong Zijie had convulsed for a while and then lost his heartbeat and breathing...

The first thing Du Jialing and the woman with the triangular eyes thought of was not calling an ambulance.

But rather worrying that they would be caught and sent to prison!

The middle-aged woman quickly made a decision.

"I have a sister working abroad; she's always been asking me to go over."

"We'll find a place to dispose of Zhong Zijie's body first, and then we'll go abroad together!"

Du Jialing, who was at her wit's end, naturally agreed to her mother's plan without hesitation.

The two of them stuffed Zhong Zijie's body into a large suitcase.

Then they packed their bags and left home as night fell.

On the other side, Luo Wei was driving back to the Bishui Manor Community.

Sitting in the back seat, Liu Zhixu shook Gu Nanqiao's arm.

"Nanqiao, it's already dinner time. Don't you plan to treat Brother Luo Wei to a meal?"

"Of course I do!" Gu Nanqiao had already composed her feelings. "Mr. Luo, let's go eat!"

"You've helped me so much; I must thank you properly!"

Luo Wei smiled and nodded, offering no objection.

Seeing that Luo Wei had agreed...

Liu Zhixu and Gu Nanqiao chirped away, discussing where to go to eat.

On the other side, at a high-end restaurant.

Lin Fei had dressed herself up beautifully and was sitting in front of a floor-to-ceiling window taking selfies.

Her Best Friend had finally fulfilled her promise and introduced her to a high-quality local man from Honghai City.

The other party had a house and a car, and his parents were within the establishment. Such a high-quality man was simply hard to come by!

Lin Fei secretly vowed in her heart that she must win him over!

However, when a fat figure appeared...

When she saw a greasy face full of acne scars, Lin Fei almost threw up.

She suddenly realized why the other party's conditions were so excellent yet he needed to find a girlfriend through a blind date—it turned out the person himself was the problem!

While politely smiling at him out of courtesy, she was frantically complaining to her Best Friend on her phone!

"What kind of person did you introduce to me?"

"The first moment I saw him, I almost threw up!"

Her Best Friend retorted unceremoniously, "Do you think someone who is handsome and has a good family background would even look at you?"

"Sister, don't be naive. Money is the best thing in this world!"

"Without money, no matter how handsome a husband is, he can't put food on the table!"

That was true, but... Lin Fei looked at the fat, Pockmarked Man sitting opposite her with trepidation.

Living with such a person, she felt she would have nightmares every day.

Lin Fei bit her teeth and made up her mind, intending to endure the disgust and give this person a chance.

However, while she was psychologically prepared, that Pockmarked Man didn't seem to take an interest in her at all.

At this moment, the Pockmarked Man was staring intently at the restaurant's entrance.

Lin Fei turned her head and happened to see a familiar figure.

"Brother Luo Wei, let's just make do with a meal here for now."

"Afterward, we'll let Nanqiao cook for you to properly thank you!"

"I'm telling you, Nanqiao's cooking skills are beyond words—she's even better than many hotel chefs!"

Liu Zhixu held Luo Wei's arm, chirping away.

Luo Wei looked at Gu Nanqiao on the other side in surprise.

Dressed in black stockings and exquisitely made up, Gu Nanqiao clearly looked like an urban beauty.

He hadn't expected her cooking skills to be better than many hotel chefs.

Gu Nanqiao's cheeks flushed as she nodded slightly.

She admitted that her cooking skills were indeed very good.

"We are neighbors, after all; we should interact more in the future!"

As she spoke, Liu Zhixu felt someone staring at her, and she subconsciously held Luo Wei's arm even tighter!

A man as handsome and capable as Luo Wei was naturally someone she wanted to hold onto!

At that moment, Luo Wei saw Lin Fei.

Unexpectedly, he had run into his ex-girlfriend again.

The city of Honghai was truly too small.

Glancing at the Pockmarked Man sitting opposite Lin Fei, Luo Wei didn't care.

Since they had broken up, they were naturally strangers with no relation to each other.

Lin Fei watched helplessly as Luo Wei entered a private restaurant room with two beautiful girls.

The girl holding Luo Wei's arm was a bit short, but her figure was curvaceous and beyond reproach.

Moreover, she looked very lively and proactive; almost no man could refuse that type of beauty!

The other girl not only had a pair of long legs in black stockings but was also elegant and sophisticated.

Furthermore, her eyes were filled with endless affection for Luo Wei!

After breaking up with her, Luo Wei had better and more options.

While she... Lin Fei looked at that Pockmarked Man.

She discovered with horror that the Pockmarked Man was staring at a woman in a short skirt somewhere in the restaurant and was actually drooling!

In an instant, endless disgust welled up in Lin Fei's heart, and she missed the handsome Luo Wei more and more.

The more she missed him, the more uncomfortable she felt, and she hated her Best Friend to death!

If it hadn't been for her Best Friend's egging her on...

How could she have left Luo Wei without saying goodbye!

Disregarding politeness, she stood up, grabbed her bag, and left.

After walking out of the restaurant, she directly dialed her Best Friend's number and started cursing.

"Did you do this on purpose, introducing me to a drooling idiot!"

"Did you just hate to see me doing well back then, so you intentionally egged me on to break up with Luo Wei?"

Being scolded, her Best Friend was so angry she almost spat blood; she had been acting in Lin Fei's best interest, yet she was unexpectedly being bitten back!

"If you regret it, then go back to Luo Wei and reconcile!"

"You made the choice yourself back then; it wasn't me dragging you away!"

Lin Fei naturally wanted to reconcile with Luo Wei, but she simply didn't have the face to see him, and she also had no chance at all!

Lin Fei turned to look toward the private room. Nowadays, Luo Wei was surrounded by beauties, and any one of them was prettier and had a better figure than her!

At this very moment, Lin Fei regretted it to her core. She wished she could slap herself; she had truly been stupid to the extreme back then...
