Lin Yu's gaze unconsciously drifted toward Huang Feiya.
At this moment, Huang Feiya.
She remained as calm as when they first met, showing not the slightest hint of panic.
It was as if, even with things developing to this point, she was still completely aloof from the world's strife.
If the system had not made a mistake, and if Lin Yu's guess was not wrong...
Could it be that the chubby little guy, Huang Daoqi, really had nothing to do with this incident?
Was the mastermind Huang Feiya?
Without the system's prompt, Lin Yu would not have thought in this direction even if beaten to death.
Even now, with the system's silent hint, Lin Yu still felt it was a bit surreal.
Or rather...
A bit terrifying!
When you stare at someone for a long time, they naturally sense your gaze.
Huang Feiya was no exception. She calmly turned her eyes to look back at him.
Lin Yu's heart leaped into his throat: "!!!"
Once he bought into the character profile he had figured out, it was hard to break free from this strange train of thought.
It seemed as though everything made perfect sense; he was forcing logic out of micro-expressions for something completely illogical!
In terms of perceptiveness, Huang Feirong had just lost a round.
This time, however, she was more than happy to show off in front of her own people.
She quickly pulled out the round chairs on the opposite side one by one, preparing seats for the guests.
Sister Hong and Huang Daoqi returned to their seats first, gesturing for Lin Yu and the others to quickly sit down and chat.
The two Shen sisters sat down very naturally.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed.
Because Huang Feirong and Huang Feiya, two living, breathing people, were still standing!
Strictly speaking.
They were also the hosts here!
Where was the logic in the hosts standing while the guests sat down to chat?
Sister Hong was as straightforward as ever, speaking directly to Lin Yu:
"Boss Lin, just take a seat!"
"Those two have been sitting all day. Sitting every day is going to make their limbs atrophy."
"It is fine, let them stand. Do not worry about them."
Lin Yu nodded with a chuckle and quickly said:
"Sister Hong, just calling me Little Yu is fine."
"I really cannot bear being called Boss Lin!"
Sister Hong was still so fierce, speaking without any regard for her own juniors.
Huang Daoqi watched Lin Yu with a smile the whole time.
He chimed in:
"Calling you Boss Lin is only right!"
"If it were not for Boss Lin, the auction house run by our Huang family would not have had the chance to shine."
"It has been at least eight or nine years... We have not been this glorious in a long time!"
After speaking.
Huang Daoqi looked at Sister Hong. His demeanor and gestures clearly implied that Sister Hong was the true master of the auction house.
When it came to matters regarding the auction house, everything depended on her reaction.
Such a clear sense of boundaries earned him major points in Lin Yu's heart.
Sister Hong pointed at Lin Yu and said:
"Exactly! I have told Rongrong and Yaoyao several times."
"To bring Little Yu over to hang out when they have free time."
"These two girls only know how to goof off all day. They never took my words seriously at all."
"Especially this blockhead of ours!"
"Every day, she just tries to find ways to play video games. I do not know where she got those genes from, but she did not inherit a single good trait from me. Tell me about it..."
Lin Yu: "..."
Everyone present: "..."
How did a casual chat suddenly turn so heated?
Sister Hong complained about her daughter like a laser gun, pew pew pew... She just could not stop!
Now Lin Yu finally understood.
Why Sister Hong appeared as the final boss in the dream of the King of Dirty Jokes.
Probably for a very long time before this.
Huang Feirong had lived her days in fear of her mother.
A beautiful young girl, and a wealthy second-generation heir to boot!
Not going around dating indiscriminately or cultivating bizarre hobbies.
She had already beaten most of the rich young ladies!
Her only wish was to play video games to her heart's content. What was wrong with that?
Seeing that her own mother could not stop, Huang Feirong quickly stepped forward to intervene.
If she let her continue talking like this, who knew when she would stop.
"Mom! Do not, do not, do not... Stop talking!"
"Did we not agree to talk about serious business?"
"Cannot we talk about my issues in private?"
Huang Feirong pressed down on Sister Hong's shoulders and quickly reminded her.
Sister Hong picked up the tea from the table and took a big gulp.
She kept muttering:
"I am so mad, I am so mad."
"Every time I talk about this, I get so angry!"
"Sooner or later, I am going to be tortured to death by you, you little demon. Little Yu, let us get back to business."
"You should have heard about what happened at the auction house recently, right?"
Lin Yu: "???"
The sudden question left Lin Yu stunned on the spot.
He was still immersed in the machine-gun spray of complaints, and suddenly they were talking about business?
Without any transition at all?
That was too abrupt!
Lin Yu actually felt that there was no need for a paternity test to see if the King of Dirty Jokes was her biological daughter!
He gathered his wandering thoughts and replied:
"I did hear a bit about it, and I specifically asked Sister Yaoyao for some details."
"I found out that the incident this time is quite serious. Is it being targeted by a competitor?"
Since Sister Hong was speaking so frankly.
Lin Yu did not hide much either, cutting straight to the chase to see what she was really thinking.
Huang Daoqi brought his daughter over to "offer a humble apology." Was the apology for the offense Lin Yu had in mind?
At the same time.
As Lin Yu asked his question, he deliberately observed the reactions of Huang Daoqi and his daughter.
Huang Feiya showed no change in expression.
She was still focused on listening to the conversation, showing no signs of inner turmoil.
On the contrary, Huang Daoqi...
...literally had embarrassment written all over his face!
His face instantly turned red, and he took out a handkerchief to constantly wipe his sweat.
Lin Yu: "..."
Huang Daoqi might as well have had the words "guilty conscience" stamped across his face.
It was not just Lin Yu who noticed it.
Even Shen Buyao and Shen Jiuyi, who were sitting to the side, focused their gazes on him.
The more this was the case.
The smaller Huang Daoqi's suspicion became!
This was no longer a question of whether Huang Daoqi had the brains to plan something major.
It was entirely that he did not look like he had the guts for it at all!
Someone with real courage could not possibly show their guilt so obviously!
If Huang Daoqi was a skilled actor and was purely putting on a performance right now.
Then Lin Yu would be completely convinced, ready to drop to his knees in admiration on the spot!
Considering himself to have Oscar-winning acting skills, he would just admit that the man was a living god and be done with it.
Sister Hong's next words pushed the eerie atmosphere in the room to the absolute max...
"Little Yu, Third Brother just told me about this matter."
"It was his brother-in-law, whom he introduced to us back then, acting blindly and stirring up trouble."
"He wanted to take me down as the manager and head of the family, so that Third Brother could come out and take charge of the big picture again."
"Third Brother himself did not know at first, and when he found out later, he did not dare to say anything."
"Now that he sees the situation has blown up, he came to me to admit his mistake."
"His brother-in-law has already been 'taught a lesson' by Third Brother's wife, and the money the auction house lost previously has just been fully compensated to me."
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
