The bespectacled girl silently exited the private room.
Gu Lan still hadn't taken off her sunglasses and scarf, not until the restaurant staff had finished serving all the dishes.
Only then did she remove them.
After taking them off, she didn't eat much either, as if she was distressed about the various ssy compensation lawsuits that would follow.
"Actually, even after you pay all that compensation, you should still have quite a bit of money left, right?"
Gu Lan ate little, and Wang Qingzhao also ate very little. Of the large table full of dishes, Jiang Ran ate the most.
Gu Lan looked at Jiang Ran with annoyance: "With liquidated damages, lawsuits, and all sorts of ssy things, there's not much left."
"I'll have to live a tight-fisted life from now on, can't just buy whatever I want anymore."
"Do you understand that feeling? Utter agony!"
Jiang Ran shook his head: "No, I don't."
Gu Lan held up five fingers: "Let put it this way, the custom-made face cream I'm currently using costs five figures, over thirty thousand for one jar."
"After this whole incident, I definitely won't dare use such expensive stuff anymore, understand? At most, I'll only dare to use stuff costing a few thousand yuan!!!"
Jiang Ran really wanted to slap her.
He didn't know if Gu Lan was being sarcastic or if her brain was poisoned, having beco excessively detached from the ordinary class.
He suddenly rembered sothing from the past couple of days.
He had scrolled past a female actress in her fifties, crying poor, saying her son only earned a few hundred thousand a year, which was completely insufficient.
Jiang Ran had been truly speechless when he saw that.
Many people can't even earn fifty thousand a year, and your son earns several hundred thousand a year, and you're crying poor to us?
While Jiang Ran was having lunch with the two beauties.
Over at Alice Apartnt.
Several more cars arrived.
These past few days, because the Artist had pulled off a big move, trapping and killing twenty to thirty people.
It led to a large batch of fresh blood moving in.
However, the fresh blood delivered by these few cars this ti was different from the other fresh blood.
They were similar to the two foreign cultists that Xiao Q, Xiao Peng, and the others had encountered at Alice Apartnt a long ti ago.
One white man, one black man.
The black man had died back then.
The white man was captured alive, and then, like the subsequent Jin Baiying and Zhao Jue.
He was taken away by the fake police of Alice Apartnt, to be sent to Alice Apartnts in other countries.
Currently, the fresh blood appearing in the few cars at the Hua Country Alice Apartnt.
Were, like the three ntioned above.
Also residents who had been eliminated from Alice Apartnts in other countries.
They were sent to the Hua Country Alice Apartnt by lottery.
This ti, there were four such residents.
The first to get out of the car was a white woman. Judging by her appearance, her age was roughly in her thirties, approaching forty.
She wore padded jeans on her lower body and a black down jacket on her upper body.
Her hair reached her shoulders, a dull, dark golden color.
Her looks belonged to the type that was neither ugly nor pretty, the ordinary kind.
Her na was Eileen North.
She ca from the Arican Alice Apartnt.
She had very little luggage, only a backpack with the Arican flag on her back.
The bag, from its appearance, wasn't bulging either, containing very few things.
After getting out of the car.
She stood in front of the Hua Country Alice Apartnt for a long ti.
Then, frowning, she ducked under the vehicle barrier arm.
And walked towards the building with the iron "No. 2" sign in front of the apartnt building.
Building No. 2 Manager Wu iling had already received notice that special residents would be moving in today.
Therefore, she had been waiting downstairs at the apartnt building according to the scheduled ti.
When she saw Eileen North and confird she matched the photo on her phone.
She strode over.
"Hello, I am the manager here, my na is Wu iling. This is your key. I hope you enjoy your stay here."
Manager Wu iling hadn't even gotten close yet; she took out her phone in advance and used a translation app on it to speak this string of words.
Clearly, she didn't know English.
In fact, in Hua Country, English is one of the three main subjects alongside Chinese and Math.
The effort and energy invested are definitely not insignificant.
But many students learn it as if they never learned it at all.
Even those who learn English well learn 'mute English.'
Using English for actual communication, their level is a complete ss.
Doing test papers is still okay.
Actually, this can't be blad on the students.
After all, Hua Country's English education focuses on 'paper English,' and they make even that paper English extrely complicated.
Have a foreigner who knows English take a Hua Country English test paper, and they wouldn't even pass.
Clearly, spoken language should be emphasized. After all, isn't learning English for communicating with foreigners?
Are you going to use a pen and paper to write things down to communicate with them?
A typical case of putting the cart before the horse, formalism.
The Arican, Eileen, stood in place, listening to the English translated through Manager Wu iling's phone.
The more she listened, the deeper her frown beca.
She seed very annoyed by this kind of AI-translated voice.
After listening, without waiting for Manager Wu iling to hand over the key, she snatched it over.
After snatching it, she gave Manager Wu iling a very contemptuous look, then strode purposefully towards the building entrance.
Manager Wu iling also needed to return to the managent office.
But it wasn't clear if this Eileen had misunderstood sothing.
She suddenly turned around, pointing her right finger at Manager Wu iling's face.
With an extrely angry expression, she started cursing loudly: "Get away! Don't follow ! Asian bitch! (In English)"
Although she couldn't understand English, Manager Wu iling could tell this Arican woman was cursing at her.
Manager Wu iling imdiately stopped walking, wanting to see what this person intended to do next.
She saw Eileen finish cursing that sentence with an angry expression, then mumble sothing incomprehensible, cursing and grumbling as she walked into the elevator. It wasn't the physical fight Manager Wu iling had expected.
"What a lunatic."
Manager Wu iling cursed, then took out her phone.
Managers have the authority to check residents' basic information.
Therefore, she stood there, wanting to see what was up with this Arican woman?
The situation was as follows:
Eileen North.
Born in Michigan, USA.
Her mother married her 18-year-old father when she was 15.
The 18-year-old father suffered from severe schizophrenia and raped a 7-year-old girl.
After being arrested, he was sentenced to life imprisonnt. Later, he hanged himself in prison.
Before her father did this, her parents had already divorced. She was born a few months after the divorce.
Then, when Eileen was 4 years old, her mother abandoned her and her brother. Yes, she had an older brother.
In Arica, you can often see foster families. Also, many Aricans even co to Hua Country to adopt children.
Therefore, whether the foster family you encounter is good or bad is just like whether your fate in rebirth is good or not.
Eileen and her brother clearly belonged to the unlucky category.
Even though the ones who adopted them were their mother's biological parents.
That is, their maternal grandparents.
Both grandparents liked to drink, often getting dead drunk.
Especially the maternal grandfather, who was a psychopath, liked to torture and kill cats and dogs in front of them.
Put yourself in Eileen's shoes. Your maternal grandfather, in front of you, torturing and killing small animals. You're only a few years old. Facing that situation.
What would you feel in your heart?
Fear? Terror? Or...
