"However, when I went to invite Heywood this time, I happened to meet the eldest lady of the Edgeworth family." Wayne mentioned it casually, as if unintentionally.
They had obviously met each other but didn't say anything about it. If Chris learned the news from others later, she would inevitably become suspicious.
Then he saw that Chris' right hand, which was writing something, stopped.
"What was she doing there?"
Chrissy's voice was alert and wary.
"Of course you are interested in this way of making money just like us." Wayne brought another chair and sat down next to Chris. "But since I'm here, her attempt will definitely not succeed."
In fact, the Edgeworth family is involved in many more industries than the Wincher family. There is almost no profitable industry in the capital that is not affected by it.
It is not surprising that Geli is aware of the prospects of this technology, given his family background.
"Hmph, that guy has trouble with me every day. This time I'm going to add insult to injury!" Kris raised her tail.
"...It's better not to add insult to injury, right?"
Wayne persuaded with earnest words, "If someone gets anxious and wants to cause damage, it will be difficult for us to prevent it."
"If she wants to cause damage, she will come. Am I afraid of her?" Chris was fearless.
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, but it's easy to do bad things -" Wayne wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Chris.
"Why do you keep talking for that guy?"
The words stuck in my stomach suddenly became unspeakable.
"No." Wayne heard himself say.
"I'm not trying to speak for anyone, but I'm trying to make an analysis from an objective perspective."
However, his hypocritical explanation failed to convince Chris.
"Oh, forget it." She sneered at this, "Could it be that if I let her go this time, she won't provoke me in the future?"
"Only by letting her fully understand the cruelty of reality! Can the next conflict be avoided."
It’s really hard to do...the girls’ war.
Wayne shook his head helplessly.
…
Regardless of Chris's efforts to compete with Song Li, the situation on Song Li's side is not much better either.
"Get out of here!"
As soon as Wayne showed up, he was slapped in the face with a pillow.
He caught the pillow that was about to fall to the ground in time and threw it onto a chair nearby.
"Have you received the message?"
I'm afraid someone was specially sent to guard the store manager Heywood's house...
"Go back to your Chris, and never come to see me again!" Geli sat leaning on the head of the bed, hugging her knees, looking at him with slightly red eyes.
Wayne sighed softly and sat down beside her bed.
"I can only handle this matter from the perspective of the Wench family." He said in a gloomy tone, "Besides, even if you successfully buy it, this deal is definitely not a good deal."
The more likely result is that Ascletis had just spent a lot of money to buy the planting technology and was preparing to make a fortune, but was caught off guard by Chris.
In this way, it is not so much investing as jumping into a pit.
However, Song Li obviously did not understand his words.
"Is it because Chris is also interested in this technology?" she asked, "What is it about her that you believe in so much?"
Wayne opened his mouth in vain, but found that he had no way to explain.
"Give this up."
Wayne talked about the matter, "Before I set out to invite the store manager, she already knew how those off-season crops were grown. Even if you get involved, you are bound to get no benefit. It's better to change the direction of the business."
Hearing this, Geli fell silent.
"Change the business direction?" She raised her lips as if she thought this sentence was ridiculous, "According to you, will I have to shy away from her in my life?"
"That's not what I meant!" Wayne was a little anxious.
He knew that what he did would probably make Songli angry, but when this long-anticipated quarrel came as expected, he still felt upset.
After closing his eyes and adjusting his breathing, Wayne softened his tone.
"I didn't come to see you just to quarrel with you."
As long as you keep this in mind, maybe the topic won't stray too far.
"But I'm sitting here waiting for you just to quarrel with you."
Geli's cold expression was completely unmoved.
"..."
Wayne finally had nothing to say.
"How can I continue the conversation?" He looked a little tired.
"You can just say nothing and go back to your home now." Ge Li turned away and looked at the corner of the bed on the other side, refusing to leave any of his peripheral vision to him.
"Really?" Wayne smiled inexplicably, "I thought that even if the Wenche family no longer wants me, at least you would still take me in."
"Wayne, what do you think of me?"
Geli didn't find his self-deprecating words funny at all.
"I've accommodated you enough, but why do you keep annoying me over and over again?"
"Do you think that I can't escape your grasp no matter what, so it doesn't matter how you treat me?"
The more she spoke, the colder her voice became.
"I never thought about it that way..."
"But you do it all the time!"
Songli hugged her knees tighter, as if this would dispel the coldness around her.
Seeing the blank look in his eyes that he once thought was a pure-hearted young man, unable to refute, Geli suddenly felt that he was ridiculous.
"Is not it?"
Her body was trembling slightly, and even her small words seemed like she was talking to herself.
"I always think... maybe if I am better, you will notice me; if I please you more, you can really like me..."
"But, it's useless."
In those eyes full of pleading, the sadness and pain could hardly be concealed.
"You liar can never fool me again." Her weak murmur dissipated in the deep dark night.
"What you like...is not me, but someone's 'like' for you."
What he saw in his eyes was her haggard face, and what he heard in his ears was her silent sobs. Wayne felt as if his heart was being pressed by a huge boulder, and he was almost out of breath.
"You just need someone by your side to make you think of ways to keep me by your side." She looked at him and said every word.
"——As for the person who 'likes' you, it doesn't matter who he is."
"not like this……"
Wayne turned sideways and sat on one knee on the bed, holding her face in his hands and turning it towards him.
Do you have to cut out all the internal organs and show them to her to prove your sincerity?
"If that person is not Songli, I won't like it."
