Jiang Ruoli looked up and met Huo Xingzhou's deep and burning eyes.

Huo Xingzhou retracted his gaze and looked at Fu Yao's slightly aggrieved face. His voice was sexy and low, "If they don't like it, you can give it to someone else to try."

Jiang Ruoli: .....

dog man!

Fu Yao felt her heart beating a little irregularly.

Although their relationship was clearly the simplest of friendships, Huo Xingzhou always managed to stir up her heart.

Her cheeks flushed as she handed the biscuits in her hand to Huo Xingzhou. The man reached out to take it, and their fingertips unconsciously touched. Fu Yao's eyes dodged, and then she realized something was wrong. "Ah, I don't know if you like it. How about I give it all to you?"

【Ahhh, Fu Yao is so cute when she blushes! 】

[Really?! Why are friends being shy?]

[Why do I feel that Fu Yao is so innocent? Last time, her ears turned red at Jiang Shaoqing, and this time it's Huo Xingzhou's turn.]

【But it feels even better now! 】

An inexplicable ambiguity spread across the screen.

Fu Yao looked at him openly, as if she was in a very happy mood, with a hint of brightness between her eyebrows.

Tang Jiujiu observed Jiang Ruoli cautiously and whispered, "Sister, hold on!"

Jiang Ruoli clenched her fingers.

Injure the enemy by one thousand and injure yourself by eight hundred.

I should be happy, why am I so angry!

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong!

She simply made an excuse and went back to the house.

Tang Jiujiu put down the wash basin and followed her.

"What happened to A'li?" Fu Yao asked puzzledly.

Huo Xingzhou raised his hand to his forehead and said, "It's okay. She just gets a little tantrum from time to time. I'll just comfort her. Don't worry about it."

......

The second floor.

Jiang Ruoli collapsed on the bed depressed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

A huge face suddenly appeared in front of me.

She subconsciously jumped up from the bed, "...What are you doing?"

Tang Jiujiu nimbly took a half step back to avoid her attack and frowned, "Are you angry?"

"Why are you so angry?"

"Hey~ You're like a cooked duck, only your mouth is still stubborn."

"..."

Tang Jiujiu approached her again, "Are you jealous because you saw that he treated Yao differently?"

"No."

"What are you hiding in the room for?"

"I feel a little tired and want to take a break." Jiang Ruoli paused and said, "Today I cleaned the house, cooked, and mended clothes for two children. You must be tired too."

Jiang Ruoli's tone was not very enthusiastic. Tang Jiujiu noticed it keenly and frowned, "Ali, tell me seriously, do you like Huo Xingzhou?"

"I......"

"If you dare to hide it from me, you're dead. Remember the oath we made, no matter what happens, we can't hide it from each other, Jiang Ruoli, in this world, I only have you and only you. We agreed not to fall in love with men, let alone become a victim of the heroine's emotional journey. Have you forgotten?"

Tang Jiujiu sounded threatening, but her voice was actually trembling.

Fu Yao is the charming heroine, and she and Jiang Ruoli are just cannon fodder female supporting roles. If they want to survive, they must leave, otherwise they will only become victims.

"I know."

Jiang Ruoli covered her face with the quilt.

half an hour.

"Jiujiu." She revealed half of her head again, blinked at her best friend lying on her side, and asked, "Do you think Huo Xingzhou will like Fu Yao?"

Tang Jiujiu rested her head on her arm and shook her head, "I can't tell for now."

"That shouldn't be the case!" Jiang Ruoli also imitated Tang Jiujiu's behavior, resting her head on her arm. "Huo Xingzhou has always been indifferent to women he's not interested in. Bai Jing went to such great lengths to not let him even glance at her. Moreover, with his sharp mind, he should be able to see Fu Yao's intentions. He neither keeps his distance from her nor shows any affection for her. What exactly is he trying to do? But if you say he likes Fu Yao, why did you sign a marriage contract with me? What's your purpose?"

"Have you ever thought of a possibility?"

"what?"

"substitute!"

"Substitute?" Jiang Ruoli's beautiful fox eyes narrowed. "You mean, he treats me as Fu Yao's substitute?"

"Didn't Fu Yao just return to China recently? Maybe the two of them had a relationship before, and then Fu Yao left him to pursue her ideals. The man was heartbroken and found a substitute for Bai Yueguang. It sounds very reasonable!" Tang Jiujiu analyzed.

Jiang Ruoli sat up from the bed, stroking her chin, "Substitute literature? But I've never heard Huo Xingzhou mention it, nor have I seen anything about Fu Yao around him.

Oh, I remember there was a necklace in Huo Xingzhou’s safe. I accidentally glanced at it when he took out the information that day, but…”

"But what?"

"That necklace looked more like the one I lost before. I was confused for a moment, but maybe I was seeing things."

Tang Jiujiu nodded, "That's right, Huo Xingzhou must be secretly hiding Bai Yueguang's things. This also explains why his favorability is so difficult to gain."

After the two best friends reached this point in their analysis, they looked at each other silently.

"It must be her."

"Well, it must be her."

Jiang Ruoli was so angry that she sneered, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have put so much effort into gaining favorability points. I acted every day and worked overtime, only to find out in the end that I was just someone else's stand-in. What a rubbish task assigned by this damn system!"

"So..." Tang Jiujiu bit her finger, "Should we stay away from Fu Yao?"

Jiang Ruoli's eyes were quiet, "Of course, from now on, don't get close to her unless necessary, just keep messing around and wait to get away."

Tang Jiujiu looked at the smile on Jiang Ruoli's lips and smiled too, "What a coincidence, I thought so too."

Their eyes met, and an idea was born.

"Oh, I forgot to ask you, those jewels I deposited in your name, should Fang Hao not have discovered them?"

This is their future retirement money.

"Oh, I checked at the bank, and no one has touched it."

Knowing what her best friend was thinking, Tang Jiujiu held her hand. "I've put all the pocket money Fang Hao gave me in the safe. After the variety show recording is over, I'll find a chance to secretly take it out. And don't you want to open a studio? I've already made inquiries. When the time comes, finding a suitable office building won't be a problem. The formalities won't be a problem."

Jiang Ruoli reached out and hugged her, "I've wanted to say this for a long time, my bestie is not a naive person, she's quite smart, only that pervert Fang Hao can't see it, otherwise he would have been the one kneeling down to sing "Conquer".

Tang Jiujiu laughed so hard that her whole body trembled. "Hahaha, I love to hear that."

"Let's start Plan B tomorrow." Jiang Ruoli thought of the escape plan and nodded, "Remember, we must never let men become stumbling blocks on our road to becoming rich women."

"That's right!"

Although she is not sure how the charming heroine will affect the development of the plot, no matter how it develops, or even if it really develops as she guessed, she will not sit idly by.

Escape, must escape!

Otherwise, how can she give her 108 male models a warm home?
