Can a System Have Bad Intentions? - Chapter 93

In the past, Zhou Shu and his friends found Xie Yu annoying. However, after learning about his pitiful background and noticing that Xie Yu no longer forced them to listen to his recitations, they started getting along quite well.

 

 

 

Xie Yu was kind-hearted and simple-minded, and Zhou Shu and his friends were all easy-going. Within a few days, they became as close as brothers.

 

 

 

With friends, Xie Yu became noticeably more cheerful.

 

 

 

However, the visual impact was quite intense.

 

 

 

The guests at the inn often looked at the three or four teenagers hanging out with a burly man in his forties with strange expressions, finding their friendship quite bizarre.

 

 

 

Er Bao would spend his free time chatting incessantly with Da Bao by the doghouse, occasionally expressing his longing for his brother, which made Lu Tang’s heart ache.

 

 

 

Since that day, Qin Mo and Song Qingzhan had been absent every day. This meant that no one could inquire about the progress at Western Mountain Camp or ask about Xie Chengnian’s situation.

 

 

 

The manager introduced by the back kitchen was named Liu Quan. Lu Tang had personally assessed him and, to be sure, also invited the manager from Liang Cheng’s family shop to help. They all found Liu Quan quite capable, so Lu Tang decided to keep him.

 

 

 

Liu Quan was extremely grateful to Lu Tang for rescuing his son from Qingfeng Courtyard. Now that Lu Tang ignored the gossip outside and hired him, Liu Quan was so moved that he swore to do a good job.

 

 

 

With a manager in place, Lu Tang didn’t have to worry as much about the inn.

 

 

 

She had Qiao Fugui learn accounting from Liu Quan. Once proficient, Qiao Fugui would temporarily take over as the accountant.

 

 

 

In the mid-afternoon, there were not many people in the inn’s lobby. Lu Tang sat daydreaming at a large table by the street.

 

 

 

Beside her, Zhou Shu and Xie Yu were chatting in low voices.

 

 

 

“Host, there are only a few days left for the task. If it’s not completed, a punishment task will be triggered.”

 

 

 

Lu Tang rolled her eyes.

 

 

 

The system had given her a vague task related to Xie Chengnian with a strict deadline!

 

 

 

How was she supposed to complete it?

 

 

 

“I’ll wait for the punishment task.”

 

 

 

“Host, considering the current situation, I can’t fully load the punishment task either.”

 

 

 

Lu Tang:!

 

 

 

If the punishment task couldn’t be fully loaded, she would definitely fail the task, and failing meant she would have stomach pain.

 

 

 

“Damn it, are you doing this on purpose?”

 

 

 

“Host, I’ve already taken a Level 3 punishment. If I have to bear half of the pain again, my recovery these past days will be for nothing.”

 

 

 

The system cried out pitifully.

 

 

 

“Host, please, just complete the task.”

 

 

 

If the system had a physical form, Lu Tang would have strangled this foolish thing. It always caused trouble, making everything complicated.

 

 

 

Complete the task? How?

 

 

 

Just then, Liang Cheng returned, looking dispirited.

 

 

 

These past days, his family had forced him to go on three blind dates, leaving him nearly dazed. As soon as he entered, Zhou Shu and the others swarmed around him.

 

 

 

“Liang Cheng, how was this girl?”

 

 

 

“Are you satisfied?”

 

 

 

Liang Cheng sat opposite Lu Tang, glanced at her, and irritably pushed Zhou Shu’s chubby face away. “Satisfied, my ass!”

 

 

 

Zhou Shu laughed, “Liang Cheng, you’ve almost seen all the good girls in Qingshui County. What kind of girl are you looking for?”

 

 

 

Liang Cheng looked at Lu Tang.

 

 

 

Lu Tang, full of interest, was obviously waiting for his answer too.

 

 

 

His throat tightened. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Shu suddenly said, “Anyway, I like girls who are educated and reasonable. Looks come second, but big eyes are the best.”

 

 

 

Xu Shen, touching his chin, said, “I like charming ones.”

 

 

 

“Oh~~~~~~~”

 

 

 

Guo Dawei, leaning on Xie Yu’s shoulder, teased.

 

 

 

Xu Shen turned and punched Guo Dawei, then asked Xie Yu, “Old Xie, what kind of girl do you like?”

 

 

 

Xu Shen was much older than Xie Yu, but since Xie Yu looked older, everyone called him Old Xie. This nickname was without malice, and Xie Yu understood his situation, responding cheerfully.

 

 

 

“Me? I like someone who doesn’t mind my flaws.”

 

 

 

Such a simple and honest answer.

 

 

 

After saying this, he eagerly looked at Lu Tang. “Brother Tang, what about you?”

 

 

 

With his forty-five-year-old appearance, calling Lu Tang “Brother Tang” always drew curious glances from outsiders.

 

 

 

Liang Cheng’s heart tightened, his breath catching as he looked at Lu Tang.

 

 

 

Lu Tang chuckled, “I like a fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful girl. Someone fair, wealthy, and beautiful, kind-hearted, interesting, and with a good appearance and soul.”

 

 

 

Lu Tang described herself, making it sound as beautiful as possible.

 

 

 

As she spoke, she noticed Qin Mo leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, watching her with a smile in his deep eyes.

 

 

 

Fair-skinned, indeed quite fair.

 

 

 

Wealthy, with a higher rank than the Assistant Minister of Justice, surely rich!

 

 

 

Good-looking, truly handsome.

 

 

 

Lu Tang’s heart skipped a beat, and she stopped talking.

 

 

 

What was she thinking?

 

 

 

“You’re thinking about a man.”

 

 

 

“Shut up!”

 

 

 

Seeing her fall silent, Qin Mo’s lips curved into an ambiguous smile. He pushed off from the door frame and headed upstairs.

 

 

 

Zhou Shu and the others teased her, but Lu Tang didn’t hear clearly, her mind full of thoughts about Qin Mo’s return and whether he had found out anything about Xie Chengnian.

 

 

 

Seeing Lu Tang suddenly distracted, Liang Cheng followed her gaze. He saw Qin Mo’s back as he walked upstairs and immediately slammed his fist on the table.

 

 

 

“Why is he still staying here?”

 

 

 

When Qin Mo returned that day, Liang Cheng was out. Later, he was called back home for blind dates and assumed Qin Mo and his companions had left.

 

 

 

Seeing him now made his heart burn with anger.

 

 

 

Lu Tang stood up with a smile, “Who knows, maybe our inn is just too comfortable. You guys chat, I need to go upstairs.”

 

 

 

Liang Cheng stood up and grabbed her wrist, “Tang, I need to talk to you.”

 

 

 

Lu Tang, thinking about Xie Chengnian, pulled her hand away and smiled, “Let’s talk at dinner. I have something to do.”

 

 

 

With that, she headed upstairs.

 

 

 

Liang Cheng watched Lu Tang’s hurried departure, feeling a heavy sinking in his heart. Zhou Shu put his arm around Liang Cheng’s neck, “Liang Cheng, how does it feel to go on blind dates? Share with us so we can prepare ourselves.”

 

 

 

What happened downstairs was unknown to Lu Tang. She went upstairs straight to Qin Mo’s room.

 

 

 

Just as she was about to knock, the door opened, and she almost stumbled into Qin Mo’s arms.

 

 

 

Qin Mo stood in the doorway, looking down at her. “In such a hurry to see me?”

 

 

 

Song Qingzhan, standing behind Qin Mo, rolled his eyes.

 

 

 

Show-off!

 

 

 

Standing at the door after coming up, pretending to be possessed, just to open it for someone!

 

 

 

“I thought you were acting weird, turns out you were waiting to open the door!” Song Qingzhan mocked. “You rushed all the way here to share the news with her.”

 

 

 

Qin Mo: “Who rushed here?”

 

 

 

Lu Tang blinked, “Did you go to Yuhang?”
