【Chu Han's regret value increased by 40, affection value increased by 20.】
Chu Han, standing nearby, was utterly dumbfounded.
She was filled with regret—so much that her intestines were practically green with envy.
That was a 1.8 million yuan house! And Zhou Yi just bought it without a second thought!
If only she hadn’t stubbornly insisted on breaking up with him to be with Gao Wenhao... Today, that house might have been bought for her instead.
Chu Han immediately let go of Gao Wenhao’s hand, wanting to say a few words to Zhou Yi.
But right now, Zhou Yi was discussing the house with the salesperson, and she couldn’t just interrupt.
Besides, Gao Wenhao was still live-streaming. Even if she wanted to reconcile with Zhou Yi, she’d have to wait until they were alone.
"Mr. Zhou, here’s your receipt."
The beautiful saleswoman crouched by the sofa, tore the receipt from the POS machine, and handed it to Zhou Yi with respectful deference.
"If you have any questions later, feel free to contact me anytime via WeChat. Here are the keys to the house—please keep them safe."
The uniformed woman smiled brightly, her joy completely genuine.
A customer like Zhou Yi, who bought a house after less than an hour of viewing, was a once-in-a-lifetime find.
Her commission was substantial, especially since Zhou Yi had paid in full—no mortgage, no down payment.
And on top of that, he was handsome. Wasn’t this the textbook definition of a rich, handsome young master?
The only downside was that he was still a student. Otherwise, she would’ve definitely tried to flirt with him.
Zhou Yi accepted the keys and receipt with a polite "Thank you."
"You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure."
"Wait a moment, miss."
"Is there anything else, Mr. Zhou?"
At this point, Zhou Yi turned his gaze toward Gao Wenhao and Chu Han, who were still standing there in shock.
"My classmate here also wants to buy a house. Why don’t you introduce some options to him?"
"Now it’s your turn, Gao Wenhao."
"Tell me, how much money did you prepare for this? If you’re coming to Zijin Bay, you must’ve brought at least a million, right?"
With just three sentences, Zhou Yi had completely shattered Gao Wenhao’s composure.
A million? Where was he supposed to pull a million from? If he needed more than 10,000 yuan, he’d have to file a request with his mom!
Gao Wenhao swallowed nervously. "I... I was just here to look today."
【LMAO, chickened out already?】
【If you can’t afford it, why even pretend? Might as well change the livestream title to your own name.】
【You pressured Zhou Yi into buying a house, but now you won’t? Are you even human?】
【Whoever doesn’t buy is a coward. I’m camping here—if you don’t buy, Gao Wenhao, I’ll lose all respect for you.】
【He’s probably terrified. Who just casually carries around a million yuan?】
【Isn’t Gao Wenhao supposed to be a rich kid?】
【Being a rich kid doesn’t mean his family lets him spend money freely.】
Gao Wenhao’s blood pressure spiked as he read the mocking comments flooding the livestream. But no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t magically produce that kind of money.
If he didn’t buy a house today, how could he ever show his face at school again? What would his admirers and lackeys think of him?
"I need to make a call to get the money. Chu Han, give me your phone."
"Oh, sure."
Chu Han eyed him suspiciously. Who was he planning to call?
Gao Wenhao handed the livestreaming phone to Chu Han and retreated to a corner to make his call.
"Mom, it’s me. I want to buy a house."
"Are you insane? You’re only a sophomore—why do you need a house? And didn’t your dad already buy you one?"
"I don’t want his. I want to buy my own."
"If you have the money, go ahead. Don’t ask me—I don’t have any to spare."
"Mom, don’t be stingy. My classmate has insider info that properties here are going to skyrocket in value. Buying now is an investment!"
There was a pause on the other end, as if his mother was considering his argument.
"Where is it?"
"Zijin Bay."
"Fine. I’ll have my secretary look into it in a few days. I’m busy—bye."
"Wait, no! Mom, don’t wait! I need to buy it today!"
"Why the rush? If you don’t tell me the truth, I’m hanging up right now."
"I... I made a bet with a classmate. If I lost, I had to buy a house in Zijin Bay..."
His voice grew smaller with each word. His mother on the other end seemed to laugh in disbelief.
"A bet where the loser buys a house? You’ve been spoiled rotten. One of these days, you’ll give me a heart attack. I don’t have time for this—goodbye."
"Mom! Mom! Don’t hang up—!"
...
Gao Wenhao was so furious he wanted to smash the phone.
"Damn old hag!"
"Once you’re dead, everything will be mine anyway. Then I’ll spend however I want!"
He couldn’t understand it. His family was loaded—why did they always restrict his spending?
What kind of rich heir lived like this?
So what if he bought a house worth over a million? It’d still be part of the family’s assets!
Gao Wenhao thought his mother was completely unreasonable, and his resentment toward her deepened.
With no money forthcoming, he was trapped in an impossible situation.
Taking a deep breath, he walked back, his face dark with humiliation. "My mom said she’s busy and can’t transfer the money right now, but she’ll still buy the house."
Zhou Yi burst out laughing.
Gao Wenhao glared. "What’s so funny?! I said I’ll buy it, so I will!"
Zhou Yi looked at him with pity. "You’re still running to Mommy at your age? If you’re that desperate, I can lend you the money."
Gao Wenhao’s face burned as if he’d been slapped in public.
【I’m dying, this is too funny. Tried to flex and got humiliated instead.】
【What a glorious clown show.】
【So he started this livestream just to prove Zhou Yi is the real rich young master while he’s the joke.】
【Can’t wait to see him at school tomorrow, LOL.】
【After this level of embarrassment, will he even dare to show up? The whole school’s gonna know.】
【If I were his girlfriend, I’d be mortified.】
At that moment, Chu Han did feel utterly humiliated. She shoved the phone back at Gao Wenhao and stormed off.
If she stayed any longer, she’d lose all dignity!
Gao Wenhao hurled the phone to the ground and snapped, "I don’t need your damn money! Besides, who knows where you even got yours?"
"You’re just a college student. There’s no way your parents would give you that much spending money."
Realizing he was losing the argument, Gao Wenhao resorted to slandering Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi smirked coldly. "Oh, so now you’re resorting to baseless accusations? How pathetic. Chu Han must’ve gotten nothing but trouble from being with you."
"It’s getting late. I don’t have time to waste on you—I’m leaving."
Without another glance, Zhou Yi walked past Gao Wenhao, indifferent to his reaction.
No one sails through life without facing setbacks.
For Gao Wenhao, today was the most humiliating moment of his life.
Clenching his fists until his palms ached, his eyes burned with fury as he glared at Zhou Yi’s retreating figure.
This insult—he would remember it.
And he would have his revenge.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on...

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.
