Married to a mechanic, she shocked the world

Chapter 29: 026: Directly exiting the circle_1 Chapter 29: 026: Directly exiting the circle_1 Zhang Xianxian was only seventeen when she was admitted to a key university, and she’s also the image ambassador for Qing City.

She embodies both talent and virtue.

She is the ideal child in every parent’s heart, and in Bai Lu’s mind, the perfect daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately, her son already has a girlfriend.

Although Lu Ye is not her biological son, there’s hardly any difference, as this child has been sensible since he was young.

Like Grandma Lu, Bai Lu hoped he would find a good girl like Zhang Xianxian soon.

Hearing Bai Lu’s praises for Zhang Xianxian, Grandma Lu slightly knitted her brows and questioned, “What good can that old witch teach her granddaughter?!”

She knew Old Madam Zhang all too well.

She hardly did any good deeds in her life, and was greedy, vain, and stubbornly feudalistic.

As the beam is crooked, so is the building beneath.

Therefore, Zhang Xianxian surely couldn’t be anything good.

“Mom,” Bai Lu said with a smile, linking arms with Grandma Lu, “You’re too biased against Miss Zhang. How should I describe her for you? She’s really not like what you think, she’s a very excellent, independent, and special girl!”

“Oh.” Grandma Lu was still disdainful, pulling out a bag of spicy strips from her pocket and, while eating them, said, “Then I don’t like her either.”

“You’ll understand what I mean when you see Miss Zhang,” Bai Lu said, noticing the spicy strips in her mother-in-law’s hand, and she continued, “Mom! Health experts say you should eat less greasy and spicy food at your age!”

Grandma Lu glanced at her and said, “I saw a health expert on the news who advocated for a light diet, and he died at age 52, while I am 92 this year.”

With that, Grandma Lu had a servant bring a bottle of cola and swiftly guzzled half the bottle in one go.

“Mom, cola has too much sugar, you should also drink less of it.”

“I am 92 years old.”

Bai Lu: “…” She was speechless.

Just then, Lu Lingli came downstairs with a plate of fruit, “Grandma, Mom! Are you planning to trick Lu Da into another match-making session again?”

Bai Lu nodded, “I was saying Miss Zhang isn’t bad, but your grandma doesn’t like her. Lingli, what do you think of Miss Zhang?”

Lu Lingli squinted her eyes, “Let’s see, I haven’t really interacted with her, so I don’t know her well. It mainly depends on Lu Da, if he thinks it’s fine then it’s fine!”

Hearing this, Bai Lu immediately turned her head towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye closed the newspaper in his hands, “Auntie, I think being single is also quite good.”

He didn’t believe in love nor did he hold any expectations.

Bai Lu frowned slightly, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Lu Ye put down the newspaper, “Auntie, I have some things to attend to, I need to make a trip to the repair shop.”

If he didn’t leave now, he would probably be forced into another blind date!

Watching Lu Ye’s departing back, Grandma Lu seemed to see the young Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu was even more arrogant than the current Lu Ye back in his day!

In the end?

Didn’t he have to surrender obediently?

Considering this, Grandma Lu crossed her legs cockily, swaying, “Just wait! Sooner or later, that little rascal will have his time to cry!”

“Exactly!” Lu Lingli strongly agreed with Grandma Lu’s words.

Once Lu Ye had stepped outside, Lu Lingli withdrew her gaze, looking at Grandma Lu with a troubled face, “Grandma, look at my face, I’ve gotten so many spots recently, it’s so annoying! Do you have any effective freckle-removing products to recommend?”

Although Grandma Lu was old, her love for beauty was no less than that of the young.

She always took her skincare seriously before going to bed every night.

She also applied face masks three times a week and went to the beauty salon for a SPA treatment once!

“Let me see.” Grandma Lu turned to look at Lu Lingli’s face, frowning, “I don’t have freckles, why have you gotten them at such a young age?”

Hearing this, Bai Lu said, “It’s because this child takes after me! Prone to freckles, and frankly, the freckle-removing products on the market today are basically dumb taxes, none of them are effective.”

At this point, she looked at Lu Lingli, “Lingli, remember to take sunscreen precautions when you go out, direct sunlight can easily cause freckles!”

Bai Lu had tried many freckle-removing skincare products over the years, big brands and small brands, including high-end personalized ones, but none of them made a difference!

They say money is omnipotent.

But wealth couldn’t buy a truly effective skincare product.

Bai Lu was very distressed.

Lu Lingli frowned, “Every time I go out, I apply sunscreen, but I still get freckles. This shows that the effects of these imported sunscreens are just mediocre! I wonder when we’ll have our own effective freckle-removing product, something to give our domestic products a boost.”

At that, Bai Lu shook her head, “If even imported skincare products don’t work, let alone the domestic ones!”

Lu Lingli sighed lightly, “You’re right.”

Even high-end imported skincare brands have their own research teams, but the results are mediocre.

She also wanted to support domestic products, but if even the research teams couldn’t resolve it, what could domestic skincare products do?

Elsewhere.

Since downloading Ghost Path, Hailun had become completely engrossed in it, to the point of skipping dinner.

The more you play, the more addicted you become.

Just like the reviews said, only those who have played it know its charm!

After putting down her phone, Hailun immediately contacted Jiang Shaoyun, her voice filled with excitement, “President Jiang, I’ve downloaded and tried Ghost Path, and it’s definitely a dark horse!”

“My suggestion is to contact W right away and buy all the copyrights of Ghost Path!”

“I’ve already left a message for W, and he’s willing to sell the rights of the game to us for just 1 million US dollars!”

Ghost Path was only in a competition on the LY official website.

All the copyrights belong to W.

We must act first to gain the upper hand.

Jiang Shaoyun slightly frowned, “Hailun, have you lost your ability to discern truth from falsehood?”

Hailun continued, “President Jiang, W really didn’t manipulate the numbers! I can guarantee it with my personal integrity!”

Jiang Shaoyun chuckled lightly, “Hailun, whether he’s engaged in deception or not, neither you nor I can judge. Let the system monitor it, since only two days out of the three have passed so far.”

According to his many years of experience in the gaming industry, there was definitely something off about W.

No one is perfect.

Neither is making games.

Too much perfection lacks realism.

Hailun is still too young and lacks experience!

In just one more day, Hailun will realize how foolish she’s been.

Upon hearing this, Hailun was about to say something when Jiang Shaoyun interrupted her directly, “Contact me in a day. I have other important matters to attend to right now.”

He couldn’t afford to waste his time on such trivial matters!

Watching the call end, Hailun’s frown deepened.

Jiang Shaoyun is too confident!

Little does he know that overconfidence is arrogance.

Another day passed in the blink of an eye.

Not only did the LY System not detect any fraudulent data for Ghost Path, but it also made it to the LY System’s automatic recommendation page.

The LY System’s recommendation list automatically filters out games with poor data and deliberate number inflation, showcasing the best games to the global gaming community.

The popularity of Ghost Path shot up from the LY gaming official site to various download platforms.

At the same time, all major forums and chat bars discussed this small game that entered the competition.

[Ah! I’ve never played such a brain-burning horror survival game!]

[So addictive!]

[So fun!]

[Has anyone passed the first level?]

[You really can’t play this game without using your brain!]

[Compared to Ghost Path, Fei Xian is just trash among trash.]

[I’ve recommended this game to everyone I know.]

[Only those who’ve played know how much fun this game is.]

[W is awesome!]

[…]

Soon, various trending topics took over all the short video platforms.

#GhostPathWalkthrough#

#DidYouPassTheFirstLevelToday?#

Hailun called Jiang Shaoyun again.

Upon receiving Hailun’s call, Jiang Shaoyun said with a smile, “Has Ghost Path been removed?”

What’s fake cannot become real.

What’s real cannot become fake.

What humans can’t judge, the LY System can detect.

Then came Hailun’s voice over the phone, “President Jiang, Ghost Path is now on the international game recommendation list, and its download numbers on various platforms have already surpassed seven digits.”

“What?” Jiang Shaoyun’s eyes widened.

Made it to the international game recommendation list?

This!

This is impossible!

Hailun’s voice continued, “All the major short video platforms are currently full of hot searches about Ghost Path.”
