"I know, I know, I'm coming right over, just wait, I..."
Du Wanyi was still "very busy." Holding the phone she had snatched from Tang Shouye, she was getting ready to grease her soles and slip away.
You must be joking... Help their Little Hanhan's rival?
She couldn't possibly do such a thing!
But with so many people present, lying through her teeth wasn't quite possible. Most importantly, the Eldest Miss would see right through it. Left with no choice, she could only resort to the thirty-six stratagems.
The Madam's thirty-six stratagems... running away.
Su Su quickly dashed to the doorway, blocking the exit with her body. If it were earlier, she would have just closed the door, but the frustrating part was that the door had already been sent flying by Dongfang Zhan.
The entrance was wide open.
"Wanyi, what's keeping you so busy? Can't you finish speaking before you go?" Su Su wore a gentle smile on her face.
She didn't yield a single inch.
She wasn't sure about anything else, but she was certain that their Zhixia was very upset right now. As a mother, she absolutely could not just stand by and watch!
As for the scheming man or the phoenix man stuff, that could be set aside for now. What she needed to do was ensure her daughter wasn't misunderstood, unable to hold her head high in front of others, or appear a head shorter than the rest.
Absolutely not!
But if it was only at this level... it was still child's play!
Du Wanyi didn't stop. Her body was unusually flexible. She bypassed Su Su's block and easily slipped past her with some incomprehensible footwork!
Su Su: "???"
Did something just slip right past her?
Su Su gritted her teeth, lunged forward, and grabbed onto Du Wanyi: "Wanyi, what's the rush? There's a little misunderstanding with the kids here that needs just a tiny bit of your time. Our family will compensate you for any losses!"
She used every ounce of her strength and finally managed to hard-control the "very busy" Madam.
"Wanyi, it seems you're holding your phone upside down." Su Su was practically hanging onto Du Wanyi, so naturally, she saw it clearly. If she wasn't mistaken... the phone was upside down, and she didn't seem to hear any sound coming from it.
As expected of this witch!!!
Du Wanyi didn't blush and her heart didn't skip a beat: "No I'm not, this phone is just designed this way. Oh, I was a bit busy just now, but I'm done chatting. Right, Susu, what were you saying?"
Su Su: "..."
The gentle smile remained on Su Su's face: "Wanyi, there seems to be a misunderstanding among the kids. Could you please help testify or something, to prove that our Zhixia wasn't lying just now?"
"What standing?" Du Wanyi dug her ear.
"Misunderstanding. There's a little misunderstanding among the kids," Su Su repeated with a smile.
"Hey, I'm not that young, I'm getting on in years, I'm not a kid anymore," Du Wanyi said with a straight face.
Su Su: "???"
Reading and replying with nonsense, huh!
Then don't leave!
Su Su was dead set on helping her daughter today; it wouldn't matter who came. How did the saying go? A mother's love makes her strong. The current Su Su was terrifyingly strong. Even facing an invincible witch, she wouldn't back down an inch!
The two madams were engaging in an "ace against ace" showdown in the hallway. Inside the room, Tang Shouye was dumbfounded.
What are they doing... where am I right now?
Is this still the Dragon Kingdom?
"I can testify that what the President said just now is true."
To the side, Lin Baizhi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and started picking sides.
Now, excluding a certain highly troublesome older leftover woman, the biggest problem was the problem child in front of them. In Lin Baizhi's original estimation, Dongfang Zhixia's danger level was the highest, because Dongfang Zhixia didn't dilly-dally and wasn't the least bit sloppy.
She wasn't like the Eldest Miss, who was emotionally stunted, unable to express herself, and constantly harping on about "classmate relationships."
She just had the mindset of a normal person, and a very possessive one at that.
According to reliable information on Lin Baizhi's end, Dongfang Zhixia had already allowed her brother into the villa where she lived. What this meant went without saying; the signal it sent was extremely dangerous!
Now that Dongfang Zhixia was starting to show signs of defeat, and the Eldest Miss's momentum was too fierce, she had to be suppressed a bit, otherwise, she would be kicked out of the game!
Shen Qinghan looked at Lin Baizhi, only just noticing that there was an... irrelevant "stranger" here?
"Why should I believe you?" Shen Qinghan said calmly.
Lin Baizhi wasn't in a rush to argue. She silently looked outside, where the sound of the two madams elbowing each other could still be heard from the doorway.
"Wanyi, let's go, we can't delay the kids' matters."
"Hey, I know, I know, aren't I walking? Hiss, my shoelace is untied, hold on, let me tie my shoelace..."
"But... Wanyi, your shoes don't have shoelaces."
"Ah? Really? Oh, I must have remembered wrongly. Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, I can't hold it in..."
Shen Qinghan: "..."
Hearing the conversation from a certain naturally evil old hag at the door, the Eldest Miss finally confirmed in her heart that what the untrustworthy, despicable, and shameless woman said earlier was probably true.
Actually, after calming down, doubts had already surfaced in Shen Qinghan's mind. A certain female gorilla wouldn't be so stupid as to turn to any doctor in a panic. Combined with what Su Su had said earlier, she was eighty or ninety percent sure.
During the time she was away, some abnormal situations had indeed occurred with a certain idiot.
But... this didn't affect Shen Qinghan's decision to drive Dongfang Zhixia away.
The truth wasn't important right now; what was important was that Dongfang Zhixia wasn't here.
"Do I need to invite you out?" Shen Qinghan ignored Lin Baizhi who had spoken, focusing her gaze on Dongfang Zhixia.
Dongfang Zhixia narrowed her eyes. She wasn't stupid. With the IQ of a certain problem child, she could definitely guess the truth of the matter. But the problem was, the truth wasn't important right now.
What was important was that she had indeed forced Ye Cheng just now.
A game between experts is decided in a split second. Today, she had lost.
She would leave.
Dongfang Zhixia stood up, and before leaving, she gave Ye Cheng a "big gift package."
"If you really care about him, pick up the syringe on the floor and do a checkup. If not, pretend I didn't say anything." After saying this, Dongfang Zhixia left, walking outside.
One sentence cornered Shen Qinghan!
If Shen Qinghan didn't continue with the blood test she was doing just now, it meant she didn't care about Ye Cheng's health, and that she was selfish!
Ye Cheng, who had been AFK on the hospital bed for quite a while, was already sweating profusely.
Damn it, President, if you're going to leave, just leave, why are you spouting nonsense!
Ye Cheng clearly felt that the way the Eldest Miss was looking at him now was a bit off...
Shen Qinghan picked up the syringe from the floor and started flipping through Ye Cheng's previous medical records and surgical results. Rustle, rustle... the only sound that could be heard in the room was the flipping of the medical records.
The sound stopped.
"Give me a reason not to examine you." Shen Qinghan looked calmly at Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng: "..."
Eldest Miss, you can't be fooled by the President! She was tricking you! Don't I know the condition of my own body!
While screaming hysterically in his heart, Ye Cheng's brain was spinning wildly as he searched for a suitable solution.
Think fast, Handsome bastard, you can do this, you've got this!
With his head lowered, Ye Cheng completely failed to notice that the long-disappeared twisted black text had appeared in front of him once again. By the time he had smoothed out the wrinkles in his brain, ready to pull a stunt, and raised his head to bravely face the young miss, he was left utterly dumbfounded.
[A desperate scream!]
[Haven't you heard that heaven always leaves a way out!]
[Host, please follow your heart and choose to either reveal or conceal the truth!]
[Task Requirement: Reveal the truth!]
[Task Reward: Turn bad luck into good fortune!]
[Task Requirement: Conceal the truth!]
[Task Reward: Foresight!]
Ye Cheng: "???"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

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?"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
