If Wang Ran didn't possess absolute confidence, she certainly wouldn't have carried herself with such poise.
You really can't judge a person just by their surface appearance.
Especially in the circles of the rich; it was nowhere near as simple as Lin Yu had imagined!
Facing his young girlfriend, Xia Zhenfeng seemed like a completely different person.
A broad smile immediately piled onto his face as he said cheerfully,
"How could I? Who doesn't know I'm a decent man?"
"Who would dare arrange those kinds of things for me!"
"Xiao Ran, you know me. I'm famously loyal!"
Saying this.
Xia Zhenfeng directly grasped Wang Ran's hand.
He was no different from a twenty-something young man trying to win his girlfriend's favor.
Lin Yu was almost dumbfounded: "???"
It wasn't that older people had to be incredibly proper, solemn, and serious.
But there was a young person present, after all!
And this young person was his daughter's boyfriend!
Was it really okay to just show his true colors so openly?
Now, Lin Yu even started to doubt...
Between Wang Ran and Weiwei, who was the actual villain?
Why did it look like this older man and his young partner were genuinely in love?
Wang Ran noticed Lin Yu's reaction and playfully pushed Xia Zhenfeng with a smile.
She said pointedly,
"If you had come back any later, I'm afraid I would have been treated as an enemy and wiped out."
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Oh no. Crap.
She's coming for him!
Xia Zhenfeng followed Wang Ran's gaze and immediately spotted Lin Yu's unnatural expression.
Then.
Pointing at Lin Yu, he said,
"You mean this kid?"
"Did he give you trouble before I got back?"
Looking at Xia Zhenfeng, it seemed like he would pounce at any moment and hit Lin Yu with a vicious combo.
Lin Yu's heart pounded with anxiety!
How could he not be anxious?
Because Lin Yu was the one leading the charge in giving Wang Ran trouble just a moment ago.
However arrogant he was when causing trouble, that was exactly how anxious he felt right now.
If he had known their relationship was so harmonious, why would he have blindly taken Weiwei's side?
It was entirely due to faulty intelligence that led to this current outcome.
If it were Lin Yu himself.
Having a stranger barge into his home and blatantly scold him.
The moment the head of the household returned, he would definitely run to them for backup!
Wang Ran wasn't an idiot. Wasn't he doomed?
To his utter surprise.
Wang Ran suddenly changed the subject, chuckling lightly as she said,
"This is Lin Yu's first time at our house, how could he possibly give me trouble?"
"I'm talking about your precious daughter!"
"Every time she sees me, it's like she's looking at an enemy."
"As if I'm some snake demon seducing you to be with me."
Only then did Xia Zhenfeng withdraw his gaze from Lin Yu.
He went back to coaxing his young girlfriend:
"Hehe, this is my fault for not explaining things clearly to Weiwei."
"Actually, I've talked to her many times. You know her temper, she's too much like me, incredibly stubborn!"
"I've told her so many times, but she just won't listen."
"Shanshan is the one who understands me. I only had to tell her twice and she got it."
Wang Ran replied in an exasperated tone:
"Shanshan understands you? She's just sensible. Stop flattering yourself."
"Alright, I won't interrupt your chat. Have a good talk."
"I'm going to check on your precious daughter to see if she got scared by you."
Saying this.
Wang Ran walked around Xia Zhenfeng, deliberately passing right by Lin Yu.
The two exchanged a glance, making Lin Yu's heart skip a beat.
Hiss...
This woman was really something else!
She actually didn't mention how he offended her?
Why would she cover for him?
It left Lin Yu completely baffled.
Regardless.
At the very least, it lessened Xia Zhenfeng's hostility towards him.
During the ensuing conversation, Lin Yu could feel a bit more at ease.
"Uncle Xia, the relationship between you and Aunt Wang is truly enviable, haha."
Lin Yu complimented with a smile, not daring to say another bad word.
Xia Zhenfeng didn't beat around the bush with Lin Yu and went straight to the point:
"I listened to the recording. Thanks to you, kid, I've gotten to know that little bastard Lei Siren all over again!"
"It's not that young people can't have dirty thoughts; I was the same when I was young."
"But harboring such rotten thoughts, blabbing them to everyone, and even taking fucking pride in it..."
"That little bastard should take a good look in the mirror. Does he even have the right to act like that!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
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)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
