Jiang Che spent the entire weekend in idleness.
"Ah, the house is still lacking some servants," Jiang Che sighed softly, once again recalling the villainous choices triggered by the system earlier.
One of the options was to help Wang Yanran's family overcome their difficulties.
The reward for choosing this option was a super butler team, which included top-tier chefs and gardeners. This was quite tempting for Jiang Che.
"Get up!" Jiang Che woke up Dong'er and Yu Wan'er.
Dong'er was fine, as she was already awake.
But Yu Wan'er, who was forcibly awakened, was in a foul mood, her hair sticking up in frustration!
She wasn't awake—not at all!
"I want to sleep—" she flailed like a cat scratching at the air.
Jiang Che, however, quite enjoyed seeing Yu Wan'er in such a lively state.
"You smelly loser, your head is always filled with nothing but dirty thoughts!!!"
But Young Master Jiang silenced her with just one sentence.
"I saved your mom!"
Poor Yu Wan'er was immediately left speechless. Ever since Jiang Che saved her mother, he had used this line to manipulate her countless times. It was even more terrifying than moral blackmail!
Amid the commotion, the other girls also woke up.
Some brushed their teeth, others ate breakfast.
Everyone was in a good mood, except for Yu Wan'er, who was sulking alone.
"Wan'er, don't be mad! Jiang Che didn't mean it!" Ye Mengyao took Yu Wan'er's hand and tried to comfort her little friend.
Yu Wan'er glanced at Ye Mengyao.
Her beloved Yaoyao-jie had already been brainwashed by that scoundrel Jiang Che.
In the past, Yaoyao-jie wasn't like this—she was such a proud girl!
But now... Miss Ye's pride seemed to have vanished, at least in front of Jiang Che... Ye Mengyao had willingly let go of all her pride.
"Yaoyao-jie, I'm not mad!"
Qin Qiaoqiao also came over, gently ruffling the little girl's hair. "You say you're not mad? We're all sisters now!"
Once again, Yu Wan'er became the center of attention!
......
At the Wang household.
Wang Yanran had been feeling quite troubled lately because her father was facing nearly a decade in prison.
"Dad, someone is definitely framing you. It must be Deputy Director Qi Lv! He's been targeting you openly and behind the scenes..."
Wang Yanran looked at Wang Laiyun, who had been dismissed and was under investigation, her nose tingling with sadness.
Beside her, Wang Yanran's mother, Yang Xiu, was also filled with worry.
"It's alright. Being in the political arena is like walking on thin ice. One misstep, and you could fall into an abyss!"
Wang Laiyun's face showed a hint of helplessness. He knew he was being wronged, but there was nothing he could do about it!
Yang Xiu's face was full of guilt. "Lao Wang, it's all my fault. If I hadn't accepted that painting, you wouldn't have been caught in this mess."
She was filled with regret. Being poorly educated, she had accepted the painting without realizing it was a trap.
"Wife, it's okay."
At this point, Wang Laiyun had no other options. Someone was determined to bring him down, and it wasn't just Qi Lv.
After all, a deputy director wouldn't have the guts to target him alone!
"Dad, I'll clear your name. There's still a chance."
Wang Yanran was filled with indignation. As Wang Laiyun's daughter, she knew her father's character well. He was an upright man.
He had risen from a poor family to become the Director of Public Security, never taking a single bribe!
Yet, such a clean figure was being framed... accused of corruption?
But Wang Yanran could only fret, completely powerless.
"Ranran, just stay in the traffic police unit. Being a traffic cop is tough, but the benefits are decent."
Wang Laiyun was already paving a way out for his daughter.
"No! Dad, I must investigate this. Someone is definitely framing you! I'll go after Qi Lv!"
Wang Laiyun grabbed his daughter's arm.
"Listen to me, Ranran!"
"Dad, I'll ask Uncle Jiang for help! You and Uncle Jiang are friends. He'll definitely help you."
Wang Laiyun could only shake his head with a bitter smile. "It's not necessary."
His relationship with the Jiang family wasn't that close.
"Ranran, Jiang Che is a good kid. You could try getting closer to him."
Wang Laiyun knew very well that his daughter was beautiful, but with her fiery temper, she would undoubtedly face trouble in the future without a strong backing. If she could latch onto the Jiang family... his wife and daughter would have a much better life.
"Dad!"
Wang Yanran was both embarrassed and indignant. What kind of time was this... and her father was still trying to set her up with Jiang Che?
Her parents didn't know Jiang Che's true nature, but she knew all too well!
Jiang Che was a total playboy.
He wasn't the innocent boy she remembered from her childhood.
Sometimes, she was even shocked by how much he had changed.
When they were kids, holding Jiang Che's hand would make his face turn red. How had he become like this?
"Dad, don't say anymore. I will definitely find a way to gather evidence to help you. You never took any bribes!"
Wang Yanran held her father's arm, her eyes growing more determined. She would definitely succeed!
Seeing his daughter like this, Wang Laiyun felt a pang of heartache.
He knew his daughter's personality too well. If he really ended up in prison... with her rebellious nature, without any backing, what would she do if she offended someone?
lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...
