Chapter 147: Trade-offs.
"Second Miss." When Cong Sui heard the old housekeeper's voice, he was so excited and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally doesn't have to be the messenger anymore.
Jian Jinge raised her eyebrows, raised her lips, and revealed a standard well-behaved smile. She looked at the old butler who was bowing to her and said, "Old butler, did you hear what I just said?"
The old housekeeper remained calm and said, "Yes, Second Miss, I heard it, but before that, the head of the family asked me to bring you a message."
Jian Jinge nodded and said, "You can say it, but let me be frank. No matter what you say, my decision to abstain will not change."
The old butler was silent for a second, then slowly glanced at Cong Sui.
I understood it the second I was born and immediately stepped back a distance.
The old butler set his gaze on the second young lady again and spoke softly.
Jian Jinge was absent-minded and indifferent at the beginning, but after hearing the old butler's words, his pupils shrank slightly.
There was a long silence, and the old housekeeper just stood there quietly waiting without disturbing her.
After a long while, Jian Jinge finally calmed down and said slowly, "Who are the top six?"
The old butler mentioned the names of the other five people.
When Jian Jinge heard the name of the Ninth Young Master Jian Lezhi, he was slightly surprised. "Can you tell Old Man Jian that I can take back what I said? It's not impossible. My opponent in tomorrow's match can only be Jian Luoling."
When the old housekeeper heard the name 'Old Man Jane', his face trembled.
When he heard the eldest lady's name, he glanced at the second lady with a strange expression. After hesitating for a moment, he gently reminded her, "Second lady, don't underestimate the eldest lady."
Jian Jinge glanced at him thoughtfully. "Don't worry about anything else. Just help me get this message across."
Since they wanted to use secrets to lure her into participating, then only one of her and Jian Luoling could make it into the top three.
Old man Jian can't have it all, he has to make a choice.
At the same time, she was curious about what he would choose.
Besides, she felt itchy when she was left with someone who was thinking about how to kill her every day and looking at Jian Luoling's face as calm as a chrysanthemum.
Seeing this, the old butler turned around and left without saying anything.
It was not until that evening that Jian Jinge received a reply from the old butler.
"The head of the family agreed."
Jian Jinge closed the door again and entered the Wanjie Bookstore again. He stood in front of the door and looked at the fog outside the bookstore: Xiao Shushu, tell me, how did old man Jian know that the extreme cold apocalypse was coming?
Without waiting for it to answer, she said to herself: There are also big problems with the house renovated by the city lord.
The lowest temperature in Star City is far from enough to require such a comprehensive heating system.
The city lord's actions seemed to indicate that he also knew that the extreme cold apocalypse was approaching.
The words that Old Man Jian had the old butler bring just now also revealed this meaning.
Moreover, he also knew how long the extreme cold apocalypse would last.
This seems a bit unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
Wanjie Bookstore: Owner, I’m not very clear about this place either. I can’t find much information about it.
Jian Jinge: Xiao Shushu, didn’t you say before that the world is not as simple as I thought? Until now, isn’t it still not the time to tell me?
Wanjie Bookstore: Owner, I’m afraid I’ll put too much pressure on you.
Jian Jinge: When have you ever seen me being knocked down by anything?
Wanjie Bookstore: That’s true.
After a while of hesitation, Wanjie Bookstore slowly uttered a few words: In fact, owner, the place you are now in is called the "Pseudo Blue Star Sin Zone"
Jian Jinge: ...What do you mean?
Wanjie Bookstore: 'Pseudo Blue Star Sin City' means, I'm not very clear about the specific meaning, but to put it simply, the people in the sin domain are all guilty. You can understand it as this is just a cage.
Jian Jinge was silent.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Wanjie Bookstore tentatively asked: Owner, are you okay?
Jian Jinge:......
Is she okay?
No, she is not good, not at all!
