Young Master Cao has now completely taken over the luxurious mansion, occupying it all by himself.
The Fourth has also started to get busy. After making great progress from being around Cao Cheng, she has obtained two original songs.
Coupled with her own abilities, she has gone behind the scenes for a music talent show.
It seems like she has nothing better to do.
The Third is sometimes idle and sometimes busy. She's not at home today.
As for the Eldest Sister, needless to say, she never seems to take a break. Even on weekends, she just can't stop.
The Second Sister is okay. When there are cases to handle, she's as busy as a dog.
When there are no cases, she's like a husky, either going crazy practicing boxing or going shopping.
It's hard to imagine that such an icy person's only two hobbies are actually shopping.
She seems to have a kind of revenge spending spree.
She usually doesn't have time to spend money and enjoy herself, so when she finally gets the chance, she goes on a big shopping spree.
The most crucial thing is that many of the accessories and clothes she buys don't even fit her. She's purely spending for the sake of spending.
She's psychologically sick!
...
Young Master Cao has also noticed this.
These four "sisters".
The Eldest Sister is sick. There's a goddess in her heart, which is Ren's Mother, and she tries to imitate her in everything.
The Second Sister is also sick.
The Third is "socially withdrawn" and secretly sassy.
The Fourth... is bold!
Alas.
Young Master Cao is also helpless. He's the only normal person in the whole family. Enjoy when it's time to enjoy, and when it's time to be busy or tired, just accept it...
This is the fun of being a human being!
Ding!
At this moment.
There came the sound of the house's combination lock opening, and two women walked in.
It was the Second Sister, Ren Fanxing, and her best friend, Tang Xin.
They had just come back from shopping.
"Miss Ren is back," the maid said, offering a towel and a glass of water.
Ren Fanxing changed into her slippers, showing her beautiful feet in thin stockings. She looked around and asked, "Where's the Fifth? Has he gone out?"
From the meaning of this question, it could be heard that the Second Sister had accepted this younger brother.
The maid replied, "The young master is sunbathing in the yard."
"..."
The Second Sister gave a soft snort. "He just knows how to enjoy himself."
There was no more jealousy and hatred in her words like before.
But there was definitely a bit of envy.
Especially after walking all day, her feet were numb, and all she wanted to do was sit down and rest.
The Second Sister gave an order. "Cut some avocados. And make a glass of iced coffee for Tang Xin."
"Okay, Miss Ren."
After the maid left.
Ren Fanxing looked at Tang Xin. "I don't know why you're so curious about the Fifth. It's just that there's an extra younger brother in my family. I don't really have any special feelings about it. I've just barely accepted him."
She was pretending.
Although she didn't want a younger brother as much as the Third and the Fourth did, she wasn't completely opposed to the idea.
After all, having only sisters in the house did lack a bit of masculinity.
Tang Xin smiled, with a coquettish tone. "You used to say that you didn't really like this younger brother, but then suddenly you recognized him, and even the way you talked about him changed. I really want to see what it is about him that made you, an iceberg, change your opinion."
"You're the iceberg," the Second Sister snorted.
Tang Xin just smiled and didn't say anything more.
They had talked about it while shopping, and then she took the opportunity to say that she wanted to come to the house and take a look.
She didn't mention the business deal.
It wasn't that she was hiding it, but it was much better to approach as the sister's best friend than as a business partner.
She didn't want it to seem like there was a conflict of interest.
"Wow... this guy's figure..." Tang Xin came to the door of the backyard and looked through the glass door. There was Cao Cheng, lying there sunbathing.
That muscular body...
Well, it was as if it had been chiseled by a knife and then carefully carved with a graver.
It was so perfect that every single muscle was just right.
He really had an eight - pack!
If he were in a bodybuilding competition, with a bit of oil on his body, he'd be more charming than a roasted duck.
It seemed that the Second Sister was also seeing it for the first time.
She was often not at home, and before, it was cold. Even though the swimming pool was heated, no one would be sunbathing here.
All this time, well, aside from her previous disdain, the Second Sister thought Cao Cheng was smart and had some skills, which had changed her opinion of him.
But she never thought that the Fifth had such a figure.
As someone who had practiced martial arts for a long time, she knew very well that this wasn't built with protein powder. His muscles were solid, with strong explosive power and long, tough tendons. It was obvious that he had trained.
Good boy.
He's been hiding this again?
The Second Sister's face darkened a bit. What's the point of not showing it off?
Is he pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?
Is he saving it for showing off later?
If she had known this, she would have asked the Fifth to be her training partner earlier. It was so boring training alone in the basement.
Moreover,
Her face darkened even more because of the way Tang Xin was drooling.
"Hey... control yourself. Your saliva is dripping, you perverted woman."
Tang Xin quickly swallowed her saliva and retracted her gaze, with heart - shaped eyes. "Don't you have a sister - in - law yet? Big sister - in - law!"
"Get out of here!" Ren Fanxing was almost laughed at by her best friend's outrageous address.
Tang Xin pouted. "Come on, don't let the good stuff go to waste. Especially such a great catch... Big sister - in - law, you know me. I'm a sucker for good looks, and then for good figures. But there have been very few people who have caught my eye over the years. I've taken a fancy to your younger brother. Name a price."
"Get out of here," the Second Sister pushed her.
Tang Xin smiled and shuffled back, whispering. "Okay, I'm not joking with you. But I have to say, your younger brother is really something. Is it because of this figure that you've been nicer to him? I didn't expect you, big sister - in - law, to be so icy on the outside but hot on the inside. No wonder we get along so well. We have the same taste."
"Who has the same taste as you? Stop talking nonsense. He's my younger brother." Ren Fanxing's icy face blushed a bit with anger.
Tang Xin laughed. "Didn't you used to not recognize this younger brother?"
"That was before. Now I do."
"Because of his figure?"
"No."
"Sure it is."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. You wanted to see him, and now you've seen him. Okay, you've seen him. You can leave now," the Second Sister directly issued an order to evict.
"..."
Tang Xin looked extremely aggrieved. "Do you have to be so heartless?"
"This isn't heartlessness. It's just not a good time for him to see guests like this. You go first. Come back another time," Ren Fanxing really wanted to get rid of her.
It was obvious that she had started to protect her younger brother.
She pushed Tang Xin away from the backyard door.
Tang Xin was no match for her. Seeing that she was being pushed away, she quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'm not joking anymore. To tell you the truth, I actually came here today to find him. There's some business cooperation I want to discuss with him."
"..."
The Second Sister stared at her suspiciously.
Tang Xin said seriously, "Really, I promise I'm not lying to you. Your younger brother has a talent for investment. You know what I do. Our businesses are a good match, so I want to have a discussion with him."
Ren Fanxing was stunned. "He invests? Does he have any money?"
This showed that the Second Sister didn't manage the family finances at home and was even insensitive to money.
The Eldest Sister and Ren's Mother wouldn't tell everyone about borrowing money either.
Tang Xin was surprised. "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Your younger brother is now a billionaire, with a cash flow of over a billion. You don't know?"
"???"
Him?
This guy?
It's not that Ren Fanxing looks down on others, but...
Ren Fanxing turned to look at the backyard, at the extremely lazy Fifth.
Ren Fanxing admitted that he had skills and was smart. He could solve a case at a glance, which was a real talent.
But investing?
Having billions of dollars at hand?
There wasn't that much cash in her own family, was there?
What a joke!
Did he look like an investor?
Tang Xin was also surprised. "It seems you really don't know. You, as an elder sister, are really... Forget it. I'll take care of the Fifth from now on. I promise to care about him and love him... How about it, sister-in-law?"
"Get out of here!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
