Pei Dongcheng was about to pass out from anger. He turned to look at his daughter, who was holding the arm of that modified scooter punk: "Xiaoxue, are you crazy? This is the boyfriend you found? What is wrong with him? Aren't you usually with that Chen Zhi?"
You couldn't blame Pei Dongcheng for not recognizing him.
Chen Zhi's current look was just too shocking.
Let alone Pei Dongcheng, even if Chen Zhi's own mother Zhang Guifang came, she would have kicked him out.
Pei Ningxue tried hard to make her voice sound calm: "Dad, that was in middle school."
"Middle school?!"
Pei Dongcheng was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"You'd be better off with that Chen Zhi. What kind of thing is this Chen Hansheng?"
"I won't allow you to talk about him like that!"
Pei Dongcheng looked at Pei Ningxue, trying to awaken his daughter's reason: "Xiaoxue, of all the people Dad introduced to you, which one didn't graduate from an Ivy League school? Which one doesn't have a prominent family background? Even if you don't like those second-generation rich kids, what about that Chen Zhi who got the highest score in the provincial exam? Isn't the Chen Zhi you met in middle school better than him?"
"You cast aside a perfectly good top scholar, and insist on finding such a... such a..." Pei Dongcheng really couldn't find an adjective to describe the creature in front of him, "such a thing?"
Pei Ningxue raised her head, looking at her father with a firm gaze, and then cast a loving glance at Chen Zhi, who was still shaking his leg.
"Dad, you don't understand him."
Pei Ningxue took a deep breath, as if she had made a great resolution: "He is different from others."
Pei Dongcheng only felt his vision go dark, and his body swayed twice.
Pei Dongcheng held onto the armrest of the sofa and took a long time to catch his breath.
He stared at Pei Ningxue, his eyes turning cold and stern: "Good, good, good. Pei Ningxue, I'm putting my words right here today. If you dare to have any more contact with him today, don't ever think about getting a single penny from me in the future! If you want to go starve on the streets with him, I won't stop you!"
Chen Zhi took a step forward, blocking Pei Ningxue behind him.
"Old geezer, talking about money is tacky."
Pei Dongcheng sneered: "Not talk about money? What are you going to use to support her?"
Many young friends might ask at this point, hey streamer, what is a good gift to bring when meeting your father-in-law for the first time.
Some say it's best to cater to his tastes by bringing Feitian Moutai and two cartons of Chunghwa cigarettes, while others say bringing property deeds and car keys is the most prestigious.
But in Chen Zhi's eyes, these were all incredibly weak.
Chen Zhi reached into his pants pocket and dug around.
"How do you know I can't support Xiaoxue?"
Chen Zhi pulled out a few folded pieces of paper from his pocket.
He unfolded the papers on the coffee table and pushed them in front of Pei Dongcheng.
"Come on, Old geezer, let's test your eyesight."
Chen Zhi pointed at the three black-and-white ultrasound images, smiling brightly, "Here are three ultrasound reports. Guess which one is your grandson's?"
Pei Dongcheng froze.
Even Pei Ningxue behind him froze. She only asked Chen Zhi to come and cause trouble, she didn't tell him to bring this kind of prop!
Pei Dongcheng felt the blood vessels in his brain throbbing. He looked at the three reports in disbelief, and then looked at Pei Ningxue's flat stomach.
Seeing that Pei Dongcheng didn't speak, Chen Zhi thought he couldn't see clearly, and very considerately pulled one out from the middle and handed it right under Pei Dongcheng's nose.
"Here, this one is from today."
Chen Zhi grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said the words that would be enough to give any father a heart attack: "The remaining two are from the previous two times. Hahaha."
Pei Dongcheng felt like the sky was falling.
The previous two times?!
There were a fucking previous two times?!
Pei Dongcheng's face instantly turned totally red.
Pei Ningxue was now so shocked she couldn't speak. She stared wide-eyed at Chen Zhi, wondering if this script had gone off the rails.
Pei Dongcheng pointed at Chen Zhi, then at Pei Ningxue, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
"You have no car and no house, what are you going to use to support my daughter?!"
"One of her dresses is enough to cost a year of your factory wages! What are you going to use to give her happiness?!"
Chen Zhi calmly pointed at the coffee table: "I have the ultrasound reports."
"My daughter is about to go to Peking University! She is the proud daughter of heaven! Do you think you have a future with her? Are you worthy of her?"
Chen Zhi, unhurried, reached into his pocket again.
This time, he pulled out a pregnancy test showing two red lines.
Chen Zhi slapped the pregnancy test on the coffee table, "I have this with her."
Pei Dongcheng looked at the pregnancy test, only feeling the world spinning.
He turned to look at Pei Ningxue, his eyes filled with despair: "Xiaoxue... you... how on earth did you two meet? How could you... how could you be so foolish!"
He didn't understand.
He truly didn't understand.
How could his daughter, who had been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, and even a bit aloof and arrogant, get involved with this kind of street hooligan? And even create a life?
And three times at that?!
Pei Ningxue was completely petrified at this point.
She looked at Chen Zhi, asking him with her eyes, Are you a devil?
This joke has gone too far, hasn't it?
Chen Zhi, however, was completely immersed in his character.
He looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, his eyes becoming deep and sorrowful, as if recalling an unforgettable past.
"That night, we were both drunk..."
Chen Zhi's tone became low and raspy, "In the private room of the KTV, the lights were dim. I only remember the nonsense words I said at the time, and the suppressed thoughts in my heart, frantically expressed..."
"That night, she was no longer the aloof rich young lady, and I was no longer the street punk looked down upon by others."
"We were just two lonely souls, under the influence of alcohol, colliding to create the spark of life..."
"Enough!!!"
This old father's fragile heart finally couldn't take it anymore.
His eyes rolled back, and his body fell straight backward.
"Lao Pei!" Liu Yi screamed.
"Dad!" Pei Ningxue was also startled, truly panicking now, and hurriedly rushed over.
Seeing this situation, Chen Zhi's heart also skipped a beat.
Holy crap, I overdid it!
The task progress should be maxed out by now. If I stay any longer, when this Old geezer wakes up, he'll probably call the police to arrest me.
"Um... I see that my father-in-law might need some rest, so I won't disturb him."
Chen Zhi muttered softly while backing away, "What Chen Hansheng did shouldn't have anything to do with me, Chen Zhi, right?"
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.
Chen Zhi turned around and ran. He rushed out of the villa gate and straddled that colorful modified scooter.
If not running now, then when?
If he waited for Pei Dongcheng to wake up and call the police, and his alias of Chen Hansheng was blown, he would be doomed.
Chen Zhi frantically turned the key and started the scooter.
"Vroom—"
The engine sound of the modified scooter once again echoed through the villa area.
Right at this moment, in the living room, under the joint rescue efforts of Liu Yi and Pei Ningxue, Pei Dongcheng slowly woke up.
He groggily opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was his daughter's anxious face.
"Xiaoxue..." Pei Dongcheng called out weakly, "Break it off with that hooligan, you must break it off..."
Before his voice died away.
A burst of dynamic DJ music suddenly came from outside the door.
That was the speaker that Chen Zhi had forgotten to turn off in his frantic rush to escape.
"Girl~ for you I dare not slack off~"
"No matter how tired, I still put on a disguise~"
Pei Dongcheng had barely caught his breath before it hitched in his throat once again.
The image of that pompadour with the drawn-on third eye, along with the pregnancy test showing two distinct lines, flashed through his mind once more.
Pei Dongcheng's head lolled to the side, and he passed out yet again.
"Dad!!!"
"Lao Pei!!!"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
