After a Disabled Alpha Marked a Yandere Female Lead - Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Zhu Qingluo opened the folder and took a look at the research and development draft.
Based on the national genotype principle, most people need to reshape the elements they lack. The first choice is to make a nutrient solution, and this plan is designated as number ct-12.
She skimmed over the technical terms and noticed the data analysis from previous years.
It turned out that changes in the human living environment, such as some natural disasters, were also the source of the loss of self-elements.
This made Omegas more frail and sickly, Alphas more irritable and fanatical, and Betas were suppressed because of their neutrality, with a negligible sense of existence in the two camps.
All of this started with that special great flu ten years ago.
Seeing this, Zhu Qingluo basically understood.
She remembered that Jiang Yun also had a secondary differentiation due to the flu. The research on the flu was suspended by the higher-ups at that time, and the relevant files were sealed for many years until a recent policy change allowed them to be reopened.
Zhu Qingluo couldn’t help but look at Jiang Yun, feeling a little strange in her heart.
The other person was resting with her eyes closed and didn’t notice her gaze.
She noticed an inconspicuous detail: Xie Ke also went through the flu but did not have any differentiation, and neither did anyone else around her.
So, Jiang Yun specifically went to see Xie Ke, and perhaps she also had doubts in her heart.
At the same time, inside the hotel.
Xie Ke returned to the waiting area in the lobby and looked down at a work report, but she was a little absent-minded.
The project manager on the opposite side was waiting quietly.
The manager drank tea with his head down and didn’t forget to secretly glance at her, thinking that this new director of Tianming was indeed extraordinary.
After a long fifteen minutes, the manager finally put down his teacup, rubbed his palms, and said with courage:
“Director Xie, we plan to sponsor a part of the project… It would be even more perfect if you could be at the site that day.”
Xie Ke’s gaze was still on the report and she did not respond.
The manager felt ignored and couldn’t help but say again: “This is the list of contestants, what do you think…”
“I believe in your company’s vision, so there’s no need to look at these.”
Xie Ke reached out and pushed the list back, a look of elegance and peace on her face.
When the words fell, the dissatisfaction in the manager’s heart was swallowed back instantly.
“Ah, is that so.” She gave a dry laugh and did not raise any other requests.
“Looking at the time, I’m about to report to the new company. At that time, on-site inspection is also part of the job.”
Upon hearing this, the manager’s face became even happier.
Xie Ke smiled and nodded. After discussing the follow-up, she personally got up and sent the manager away. Her demeanor made people feel at home.
As soon as the manager left, Xie Ke turned around, and the smile on her face instantly faded.
In fact, from the beginning of the conversation until now, she had been thinking about the unexpected encounter with Zhu Qingluo outside the hotel.
She wondered what was so special about her that Jiang Yun chose her as a marriage partner.
Xie Ke thought for a moment where she was, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Check Zhu Qingluo’s itinerary for the past two days.”
…
A gentle breeze blew through the mountains and forests, and the blue waves rippled.
The outside of the villa was quiet. The flowers in the flowerbeds swayed in the wind, and a Maybach appeared outside the door.
Zhu Qingluo opened the car door and moved her upper body outwards. At this time, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Yun walking past the front.
She only glanced at her by accident, but she saw the other person stop.
Then, Jiang Yun slowly turned around.
The moment their eyes met, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if she understood her thoughts.
Zhu Qingluo felt a little confused and couldn’t keep up with the other person’s thought process.
Just as she was in a difficult position, she suddenly saw the driver next to her walk around and had already pushed the wheelchair onto the extended board.
At this time, a slender, fair hand appeared in front of her.
Seeing this, the driver silently retreated.
In fact, as long as she was skilled, Zhu Qingluo could get out of the car by herself, but Jiang Yun took the initiative to show kindness. She carefully placed her hand on the other person’s palm.
She barely put any weight on it, but instead pressed the armrest of the wheelchair with her other hand and sat on it with ease.
This process required concentration, and she did not notice Jiang Yun’s movement of bending down.
Jiang Yun originally planned to carry her down, but she found that her pity was unfounded. When the hand on her palm was retracted, the smile on her lips also faded a little.
Zhu Qingluo turned around and found Jiang Yun standing in front of her.
She was completely blocking her way forward.
“Miss Jiang, please move aside.”
Jiang Yun gave a soft “hmm,” turned sideways, and kept a distance of half a meter from her.
She just looked at Zhu Qingluo. After the other person got out of the car, she smiled at the driver and sincerely said “thank you.”
She was at ease with everyone except her.
A few minutes later, the driver drove away from the door.
The road was empty, and a familiar gentle breeze blew across her cheeks. Zhu Qingluo breathed in the fresh air.
Then, she held the wheelchair and turned it around.
“Miss Jiang?”
She saw that Jiang Yun was still nearby. She was looking at the birds in the distance. Hearing her, she lowered her slender eyelashes.
The lines on her side profile were sharp and clean, and her eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally enchanting. Enveloped in the faint halo of light in the forest, she was like a magnificent oil painting of the century.
“Let’s go,” Jiang Yun said.
Then, she did not offer any more “help” and took a step forward.
Zhu Qingluo’s gaze fell on the other person’s back. She kept a certain distance and followed her unhurriedly.
Was Jiang Yun waiting for her?
This thought suddenly popped into her mind, and she couldn’t help but be surprised.
Zhu Qingluo later found that she did not receive the expected retaliation, which did not completely put her at ease.
Because she often felt a gaze watching her.
It was as if she had been away from home for three days and needed to have her identity re-identified when she came back.
Other than that, everything in her life was as usual.
Zhu Qingluo dealt with all changes by remaining unchanged. As long as the Jiang family remained calm, she could pretend that nothing had happened.
In the afternoon a day later.
Zhu Qingluo came out of her room. When she passed the living room, she didn’t see the butler.
The study door was also closed. She turned around and stopped in the corridor.
She looked at the scenery outside through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking that Jiang Yun must have gone out.
After a while, she took a transparent bag from her pocket, which contained a few raw stone samples.
In the sun, they reflected a variety of colors.
Zhu Qingluo turned the raw stone over and found cracks at the bottom.
In this way, the quality would be greatly reduced.
She subconsciously wanted to record it, but she found nothing in her pocket. So she pressed the armrest, ready to go back to her room.
The next moment, a crisp voice suddenly appeared next to her:
“Here you go.”
Zhu Qingluo was startled and turned her head to find a young girl.
She looked to be eighteen or nineteen, with rosy cheeks and a simple gaze. She was holding new paper and a pen in her hands.
She had seen her among the servants of the Jiang family before. Her name seemed to be “Liu Zi.”
Zhu Qingluo frowned slightly, “When did you get here?”
Liu Zi scratched her head in embarrassment and said in a low voice:
“I called you just now, but you didn’t respond…”
Hearing this, Zhu Qingluo took the things from her hands.
She was worried about forgetting and quickly wrote on the paper, but her thoughts were interrupted by the conversation, and she was still stuck.
The ink paused on the paper, and a dot spread out.
“You can’t remember the corresponding components of the stone?” Liu Zi asked eagerly.
Zhu Qingluo looked at her in surprise, “You know?”
Liu Zi shook her head and took out a bound gem catalog from the pocket of her apron.
“…”
Zhu Qingluo blinked and flipped through it casually, only to find that the content was exactly what she needed.
It was too thoughtful.
She knew her work progress like the back of her hand, as if she had known it in advance.
Zhu Qingluo’s face turned slightly cold, “Are you monitoring me?”
Liu Zi’s expression was shocked. She quickly took a few steps back, waved her hands, and explained:
“Miss Jiang said that you can come to me for any needs you have.”
