After speaking, Jiang Hui stared at Luo Bei, not wanting to miss any of her facial expressions.

Just like how Zhou Jianguo has many fans of his books, Luo Bei is also a popular figure. Although she doesn’t want to admit it, from a woman’s perspective, Luo Bei is indeed a great catch. She’s beautiful, has a good personality, and most importantly, she has a strong sense of morality. Because of this, even though she and Zhou Jianguo like each other, before he regained his memory, Luo Bei never agreed to be with him. They rarely even had any small romantic interactions because she was unsure if Zhou Jianguo had a partner before losing his memory.

Knowing the plot and understanding the personalities of each person is Jiang Hui’s biggest cheat. She doesn’t want to miss this opportunity. With Luo Bei’s personality, knowing that she is Zhou Jianguo’s fiancée, she won’t have any thoughts of being with Zhou Jianguo anymore. As a result, the possibility of her being with Zhou Jianguo becomes very slim.

However, doing this also comes with a great risk because according to the plot, Zhou Jianguo should regain his memory soon. At that time, her lie will be exposed. Given Zhou Jianguo’s personality, he won’t let her go. Therefore, she must win his heart before Zhou Jianguo fully regains his memory.

Luo Bei was indeed surprised at first, but she quickly calmed down and asked, “Is that so?”

Jiang Hui was nervous, and her eyes began to avoid Luo Bei’s gaze. “Of course, otherwise how would I know about his memory loss?”

“Then who exactly is he?” Luo Bei asked again.

Jiang Hui was about to answer when she suddenly felt a headache that was difficult to suppress. She had a pained expression on her face.

Luo Bei was startled and quickly went over to support her. “Miss Jiang, are you okay? Is there anything I can do to help?”

It took Jiang Hui about ten minutes to recover. Why did she get a headache when she was about to reveal Zhou Jianguo’s true identity? What was going on?

She looked at Luo Bei’s face and suddenly understood.

This was a world of novels. She was an outsider, and although she knew everything about the plot, it was still an independent world, and the plot had not yet developed to that point. If she revealed the plot in advance, she would be punished.

Jiang Hui shrank her neck and said, “It’s nothing, just a habitual headache.”

After confirming that she was really okay, Luo Bei asked again, “Since you’re Zhou Jianguo’s fiancée, you should know who he was before, right? What was his name? Does he have any family? Why did it take so long to find him?”

She asked so many questions in a row that Jiang Hui didn’t dare to answer.

Each question involved a spoiler.

Jiang Hui inexplicably became irritable, realizing that Luo Bei was not easily fooled. She simply said, “What’s it to you? Before he remembers, I have no obligation to explain his true identity to anyone, including you.”

Luo Bei was speechless in an instant.

Luo Bei’s expression suddenly became cold, and she took out some change from her bag and placed it on the table. “Miss Jiang, sorry to say, just because you said you are his fiancée doesn’t mean I will believe you. I have at least some discernment. Before Xiao Zhou regains his memory or before someone can confirm his identity, I won’t believe what others say. Xiao Zhou is my good friend, and I don’t have much acquaintance with you. Therefore, there is something I need to tell you.

“If you can’t prove that you are Xiao Zhou’s fiancée, then please don’t go to the basement to look for him and bother him. He has already complained to me that you have caused him trouble. As the landlady, I must make one thing clear. In my rented building, harassment incidents are not allowed. If Xiao Zhou complains to me again, I will have to ask you to move out. I must ensure the safety and rights of my tenants, thank you.”

Jiang Hui could hardly believe her ears. She never thought Robe would say such things. She exclaimed, “I am his fiancée!”

“Show me some evidence,” Luo Bei thought for a moment and added, “If you were engaged before, you should have a photo together, right? Without saying more, show me a photo of you two together.”

Jiang Hui couldn’t produce one….

The original owner of this body had no connection with Zhou Jianguo, after all, they were not from the same social class.

“Why should I show it to you? Why should I prove it to you?”

Luo Bei was really amused by her, “Miss Jiang, your lies are full of loopholes. Please think of a better excuse and method before lying next time. We are all adults here, and I don’t think I’m dumber than you. So don’t do it again. As for how you knew about Xiao Zhou’s amnesia, I don’t want to ask. Xiao Zhou and I will investigate it ourselves.”

In fact, Luo Bei said this to provoke her. If Jiang Hui really knew Xiao Zhou before, there must be evidence. Jiang Hui couldn’t produce any evidence, which meant what? It meant she was lying.

“What makes you think I’m lying? Luo Bei, don’t think I don’t know. You like him, so you don’t want me to be his fiancée!” Jiang Hui thought to herself, the book portrays Luo Bei in various positive ways, but she’s actually very malicious. “Anyway, I’ll tell you today, I am his fiancée. If you two are still being ambiguous, then aren’t you knowingly being the third party?”

Luo Bei laughed and took out her phone. “If you want to say that you are his fiancée, okay. Say what you just said again, and I’ll record it. If Xiao Zhou regains his memory one day, or his family comes looking for him and proves that you are not his fiancée, then you’ll have to bear legal responsibility. Are you willing? Do you dare?”

Jiang Hui hesitated.

Because she knew that at this moment, Luo Bei had developed feelings for Zhou Jianguo, at least she was interested. Zhou Jianguo also liked Luo Bei a lot. She wasn’t afraid of Luo Bei’s threat, but she was afraid of Zhou Jianguo.

With Zhou Jianguo’s ability and the influence of his family, if she were to be recorded saying such things by Luo Bei, it might not mean much at first, but what if Zhou Jianguo got wind of it and started to add fuel to the fire?

She didn’t know if this situation was enough to constitute defamation, but if Zhou Jianguo was willing, he could.

Seeing Jiang Hui hesitated, Luo Bei was puzzled

Luo Bei didn’t know much about the law and didn’t know if Jiang Hui’s behavior was illegal, but she had just wanted to scare her and didn’t expect her to be actually frightened.

Jiang Hui was still stubborn, “I don’t need to prove my relationship with him to you.”

Luo Bei shrugged, “If you can’t prove it, then I won’t consider you as his fiancée.”

“But I really am.”

“I’ve recorded it already.”

Jiang Hui bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

Luo Bei picked up her bag and was ready to leave, “I’ll say it again, if Xiao Zhou complains to me again, then you need to move out. Also, Miss Jiang, I’ll say something you don’t want to hear. It’s okay to like someone, but you used the wrong approach. You told me that you are his fiancée, which doesn’t affect me, but once you start telling this lie, you have to take responsibility for it. You will have to bear any consequences in the future.”

After saying this, Luo Bei left the sugar water shop.

She really didn’t expect the conversation to end up like this, but regardless, she still gained something from it. For example, how did Jiang Hui know about Zhou Jianguo’s amnesia?

Jiang Hui was dumbfounded, sitting in the sugar water shop, recalling the conversation she had with Luo Bei just now. She felt terrible.

She clearly had a trump card that not even Luo Bei had, but why did she still end up being outsmarted? It was all because she couldn’t give away spoilers!

Yes, she underestimated the enemy. Luo Bei’s character, which was portrayed in the novel at best, was just a paper person at best. But now Luo Bei was a real, living person. Luo Bei was smarter than she had imagined. These people were not NPCs, but really existed. Just like what Luo Bei had said, she was not any less smart than Jiang Hui.

But now that Luo Bei might tell Zhou Jianguo about their conversation, what should she do? Jiang Hui was agitated, tugging at her hair, feeling like she had messed up a good hand.

She needed to regain control of the situation, and stay calm and rational. If not, she would just become an assist to Zhou Jianguo and Luo Bei. That would be a nightmare.

Luo Bei went straight to the car beauty shop to find Zhou Jianguo. Business was good during this period, and Zhou Jianguo had been busy since early in the morning. Now the apprentice and the master had both finished work, but Zhou Jianguo was still calculating the accounts. Next to him was a lunch box, which seemed to have gone cold, and he hadn’t finished eating it yet.

After hearing the sound, Zhou Jianguo looked up. Seeing that it was Luo Bei, he asked, “Why are you here?”

Luo Bei walked over with the car key and looked at the bills he made, “This food is already cold, I’ll get you another one.”

“No need, I’ll finish up soon. I’ll just cook some noodles when I go back.” Zhou Jianguo didn’t like to eat takeout, but he had no choice now. “Why did you come at this time, to pick me up?”

“Not really. I talked to Miss Jiang for a while this afternoon. But…” Luo Bei paused, her expression complicated.

Zhou Jianguo finally took his eyes off the computer and looked at Luo Bei. “But what? Did she scold you?”

“No, it’s strange. She told me that she was your fiancée before you lost your memory.”

“Nonsense!” Zhou Jianguo was also shocked and couldn’t believe the conversation result. “It’s impossible!”

Luo Bei was surprised. “Why not?”

Zhou Jianguo didn’t even think about it, with a very confident look, “I have confidence in my own vision.”
