It was half past two in the morning.
Suddenly, the screen of the phone beside her lit up.
Rong Lan turned her head, glanced at the unread message that popped up on the screen, moved her hand away from the mouse, and tapped the phone screen a few times.
After seven hours of learning, she had fully absorbed the memories of this body about this world and became a fox that was proficient in electronic products such as computers and mobile phones.
She could tell at a glance that what Chu Hengyuan had sent her was a compressed package.
What she needed to do now was to download the compressed package, decompress it, check whether the recordings and photos in the package were complete, then back up all the materials. The last step was to take the materials to Bai Rongran and use them to exchange for what she wanted.
She had made up her mind. She would fulfill the first wish of the ghost Bai Ronglan first.
Marry Chu Hengyuan and get herself out of the Bai family so that she could deal with the Bai family.
As a smart fox, she couldn't dig a pit for the Bai family and end up falling into it herself.
— All the recordings and photos from today have been sent to Miss Bai.
— Thank you.
Chu Hengyuan, who was already in bed, never expected to receive a reply at this hour. He hesitated for a moment but finally didn't continue to disturb the other person.
Rong Lan finally backed up all the materials, but her head was splitting with pain.
"Why is the human body so fragile? It's just been a few hours of staying up late. It's really troublesome." She murmured to herself. Without pushing herself too hard, she turned off the computer, went to the cloakroom to find clothes, and took a shower. She planned to go to sleep after the shower.
By the time she had tidied herself up, it was half past three in the morning.
She threw herself onto the bed, took one last look at her phone, and then fell asleep.
Rong Lan didn't wake up until half past ten. The first thing she did was to send a message to Bai Rongran, asking her to go for a walk together.
With the handle in Rong Lan's hands, Bai Rongran didn't dare not to show up for the appointment. However, her face was extremely ugly.
Rong Lan slowly tidied herself up, went downstairs, and walked to the entrance. Bai Rongran had already changed her shoes and was waiting there. Seeing Rong Lan coming, Bai Rongran gave her a fierce glare.
Rong Lan pretended not to see it and innocently smiled at her good sister.
After Rong Lan changed her shoes, Bai Rongran looped her arm through Rong Lan's, turned her head, and smiled brightly at Mother Bai. "Mom, then I'll go out with my sister."
Mother Bai looked gratified. "Okay, okay, go and have fun. Be careful and remember to come back for lunch."
Rong Lan also waved to Mother Bai before leaving the house with Bai Rongran.
She still couldn't understand why the ghost Bai Ronglan's wish was to ruin the reputation of all the members of the Bai family. It seemed that Mother Bai was quite nice to her. Although sometimes she would be partial to Bai Rongran, Bai Rongran was the child who had been found with great difficulty. It was understandable for Mother Bai to be a bit partial. Most of the time, Mother Bai treated the two children equally and was very good to them.
After walking out of the Bai family's courtyard, Bai Rongran secretly pinched Rong Lan's arm and forced a smile. "What do you want from me again?! I have nothing to say to you!"
Rong Lan was almost jumped up in pain from Bai Rongran's surprise attack. Suppressing her annoyance, she imitated Bai Rongran's fake smile and took out a pair of earphones from the pocket of her sweatpants. "I have an audio recording. I want you to listen to it."
Rong Lan held out the earphones to Bai Rongran. Bai Rongran suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and took the earphones.
Two minutes later, Bai Rongran took off the earphones and angrily flung her arm, trying to throw the earphones to the ground. But the earphone cord was connected to the phone, and the phone was firmly held in Rong Lan's hand. Bai Rongran failed, and the earphone cord saved the earphones.
Rong Lan took back the earphones and let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. The earphones weren't broken.
Bai Rongran was so angry that her face turned black. "Bai Ronglan! You eavesdropped on my conversation with others!"
Putting the earphones and the phone back into her pocket, Rong Lan innocently smiled at Bai Rongran. "I didn't eavesdrop. I should say I listened openly."
Bai Rongran got even angrier. "Don't play word games with me! What do you want to do?!"
Rong Lan held out her hand to Bai Rongran. "Sister, why aren't you looping your arm through mine anymore? We're sisters with deep affection, good sisters who came out for a walk together."
Bai Rongran was so angry that she almost spat out blood. She had wanted to say earlier that it was already past eleven o'clock and the sun was shining brightly. Only Rong Lan was crazy enough to go for a walk at this hour.
Although she was almost mad with anger, Bai Rongran still looped her arm through Rong Lan's, just like when they first left the house. But this time, she didn't dare to pinch Rong Lan again.
The reason she had dared before was that even if Rong Lan knew about her relationship with Chu Chuan and even knew that she was pregnant, Rong Lan had no evidence. After she returned to the Bai family, she had been doing her best every day to smear Rong Lan's image. Even if Rong Lan wanted to say this in the social circle, no one would believe her one - sided words.
But now, Rong Lan had the evidence.
"Tell me! What do you want! Or rather, what do you want me to do!" Bai Rongran gritted her teeth.
Once again looking like a pair of amicable sisters walking arm in arm, Rong Lan nodded in satisfaction. "Money."
Rong Lan was so concise that Bai Rongran thought she had misheard. "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly just now. Say it again."
"I want money!" Rong Lan said righteously.
Bai Rongran twitched the corner of her mouth. "What? Has the Bai family finally stopped your allowance? That's impossible. I've mentioned to Mom many times to cancel your card, but Mom never agreed."
Rong Lan smiled innocently at Bai Rongran. "I don't want to use the money in my card. So—you understand."
Bai Rongran really wanted to say that she didn't understand! But Rong Lan had the recording from that day, and she didn't dare not to follow Rong Lan's wishes.
"How much money do you want?" She tried to probe Rong Lan's intention.
Rong Lan didn't let Bai Rongran probe. "Just give me as much money as you think that recording is worth. Of course, I have to tell you that if I think the money you give me is not enough to buy that recording, that recording might be spread at any time."
Bai Rongran was so angry that she couldn't even maintain her fake smile.
She had only been back in the Bai family for a month. Father Bai and Mother Bai had indeed given her a bank card each, and both cards had no limit. But if the amount exceeded a certain limit, the bank would send a message to the mobile phone of the main cardholder. She had been a good - girl who wasn't interested in money for a month. If she suddenly transferred a large amount of money out of the card, what would the elders think of her?
She now understood why Rong Lan didn't want to transfer money from her own card. Rong Lan must be planning to spend the money on doing bad things and didn't want Father Bai and Mother Bai to know! So now she came out to blackmail her!
