The existence of a system is indeed quite eerie. Any normal person would be afraid.
So Ji Xiaoli thought Qin Xiangxiang did what she did out of sheer fear and was thinking about how to comfort her.
At this moment, the system emerged to shatter her assumption.
[Friendly reminder: Qin Xiangxiang isn't scared at all right now. Instead, she's a bit excited.]
What? Not scared but a bit excited? How could that be?
Ji Xiaoli: Are you sure?
[Please don't doubt the capabilities of this system.]
Ji Xiaoli: Alright. When did you acquire this function?
[This system is, of course, all - powerful.]
The system's words left Ji Xiaoli rolling her eyes. What a narcissistic system!
After saying that, the system went silent. Giving Ji Xiaoli this hint was already a help. Even a powerful system like this had to abide by certain rules and couldn't do whatever it wanted.
Now it was Ji Xiaoli's turn to be utterly confused. What was going on?
Ji Xiaoli wanted to ask the system again, but the system had completely gone silent.
Asking the system was a dead - end. Now she had to figure this out on her own.
She must never let the fact that she had a system be exposed, or it would surely bring about disaster!
There was no use over - thinking. Ji Xiaoli simply called Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang, who was still live - streaming, sneered when she saw the call and then answered it, deliberately turning on the speakerphone.
Ji Xiaoli: "Xiangxiang, what are you doing?"
Qin Xiangxiang: "I'm live - streaming. What's the problem?"
She was still live - streaming? What else did she want to say?
Ji Xiaoli knew it wasn't the right time to say anything more and planned to ask Qin Xiangxiang after her live - stream ended.
"Oh, I see. Then you continue your live - stream. I'll hang up first."
But unfortunately, Qin Xiangxiang had no intention of letting Ji Xiaoli off so easily.
"Didn't you call me about the live - stream? Since I've turned on the speakerphone, let's just make things clear right on the phone!"
Ji Xiaoli had a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"
Qin Xiangxiang wore a mocking smile on her lips: "Don't you know what I mean, Ji Xiaoli? Don't tell me you have no idea what's going on. Or do you want me to explain it to you again?"
This incident had already made it onto the hot search, so there was no way Ji Xiaoli didn't know.
Qin Xiangxiang said this just to give Ji Xiaoli no chance to evade.
Since Ji Xiaoli had so stupidly walked into her trap, how could she let her go easily?
Ji Xiaoli got angry right away after hearing this: "Qin Xiangxiang, things aren't what you said at all. Don't spout nonsense."
She had thought Qin Xiangxiang had changed for the better, but she was just too naive.
Sure enough, a leopard can't change its spots!
Qin Xiangxiang just laughed and didn't explain. Instead, she directly retorted Ji Xiaoli.
"Spouting nonsense? Then explain why your investments are always successful! If you can explain, then my words will be self - refuted!"
Ji Xiaoli was speechless. She really had never thought about how to explain this.
Ji Xiaoli's silence made Qin Xiangxiang extremely proud. Finally, she could get the upper hand over Ji Xiaoli.
"What, weren't you saying I was spouting nonsense? Explain then. Or are you out of words?"
Ji Xiaoli frowned at Qin Xiangxiang's provocation. She never thought Qin Xiangxiang would treat her like this!
She shouldn't have paid off Qin Xiangxiang's debt back then. It was like helping an ungrateful wretch!
Zheng Nanfeng, who was standing beside Ji Xiaoli, couldn't stand it anymore and took the phone from Ji Xiaoli.
"Qin Xiangxiang, Xiaoli's investment success is due to her good judgment. You don't have such foresight, yet you're here slandering Xiaoli. Aren't you ashamed?"
Qin Xiangxiang rolled her eyes secretly. She was sure that Zheng Nanfeng must know about Ji Xiaoli's system.
"No matter how good your judgment is, you can't be always successful. Zheng Nanfeng, do you think everyone is stupid?"
The media present nodded in agreement after hearing Qin Xiangxiang's words.
Indeed, no matter how capable you were, it was impossible to be always successful. There would surely be one or two failures. This was a well - recognized fact.
For a moment, all the public opinions were on Qin Xiangxiang's side.
Zheng Nanfeng didn't expect Qin Xiangxiang to be so well - prepared and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
This Qin Xiangxiang was really hard to deal with!
Zheng Nanfeng couldn't find any words to refute Qin Xiangxiang for a moment, so he started attacking Qin Xiangxiang's character.
"Qin Xiangxiang, if it weren't for Xiaoli paying off your debt back then, you wouldn't even know where you were now. But now you're biting the hand that fed you and slandering Xiaoli. You're just an ungrateful wretch!"
Qin Xiangxiang scoffed at this: "Helping me? I've already paid back the money Ji Xiaoli lent me with interest. Now I don't owe her anything!"
Qin Xiangxiang thought that by paying back the money Ji Xiaoli lent her with interest, she had already repaid Ji Xiaoli and no longer owed her anything.
But Qin Xiangxiang never thought about what would have happened to her if Ji Xiaoli hadn't lent her that money back then.
Ji Xiaoli didn't care about the five million at all, but Qin Xiangxiang at that time desperately needed that money. The two situations were simply incomparable.
Zheng Nanfeng also didn't expect Qin Xiangxiang to be so thick - skinned. He was so angry that he almost lost his temper and shouted.
"Qin Xiangxiang, I'm warning you. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Be careful of retribution!"
After saying that, Zheng Nanfeng hung up the phone without waiting for Qin Xiangxiang's reaction.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Xiangxiang's face turned black. Zheng Nanfeng was obviously threatening her.
Retribution? She was just exposing Ji Xiaoli. What did she do wrong? The one who really deserved retribution was Ji Xiaoli!
Furious, Qin Xiangxiang didn't stop. Instead, she became even more unscrupulous and smeared Ji Xiaoli during the live - stream.
Qin Xiangxiang decided to reveal another big scoop: "Everyone just heard that. Well, I might as well give you another scoop."
Hearing there was a scoop, the media immediately pointed their microphones at Qin Xiangxiang.
"Miss Qin, please go ahead."
A hint of cruelty flashed in Qin Xiangxiang's eyes. This time, she wanted Ji Xiaoli to be completely ruined!
"As we all know, Zheng Nanfeng and Ji Xiaoli have been rumored to be in a relationship. Actually, Zheng Nanfeng is already dating Ji Xiaoli."
Qin Xiangxiang's words caught everyone's attention, and the topic's popularity soared.
"Miss Qin, is what you said true?"
"Miss Qin, do you have any evidence?"
Feeling the whole audience's attention on her, Qin Xiangxiang felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure.
Qin Xiangxiang showed her standard smile and answered the media's questions one by one.
"Of course, this is true. Moreover, the reason why Zheng Nanfeng is with Ji Xiaoli is because of her strange ability."
As soon as she said this, the scene erupted again, and the popularity and traffic reached a new height.
The media on - site all spoke up, hoping that Qin Xiangxiang would say more so that they could write articles and grab traffic.
"Miss Qin, how did you discover this?"
"Miss Qin, can you say more about this?"
"Miss Qin, do you know any other inside stories?"
...
Once they saw the topic's popularity, the media on - site didn't care about the truth of this matter. They all pointed their microphones at Qin Xiangxiang, hoping to dig out more scoops from her.
