Mother's Midnight Visit

“Is that Ye Liangchen? I’ll avenge you!”

Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly.

“Xiao Lin... no, no, no! Let’s just give him a symbolic punishment. Ye Liangchen is just a little stray cat. A little discipline will make him behave.”

Brother Qiang couldn’t seem to forget Ye Liangchen. He quite liked the young man’s sturdy physique.

“Fine! I’ll bring him back.”

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Ye Liangchen, who had narrowly escaped disaster, was limping along, one hand clutching his buttocks.

“Disgraceful! Absolutely disgraceful!”

How could the dignified young master of the Ye family fall to such a state? Over the past two days, he had been humiliated in every possible way by a man. He felt like he wanted to die.

[Ding! Your 349 relatives witnessed your failed attempt to show off. Judgment: Complete failure. Penalty: Loss of 20 years of internal energy.]

[Ding! Host has obtained the title: Scheming Bottom.]

[Scheming Bottom: With this title, everyone’s first impression of you will label you as a ‘gay man.’]

Ye Liangchen: “......”

“Damn you, stupid system! Are you here to mess with me on behalf of my enemies?”

He was utterly devastated, but things were about to get even worse.

A terrifying suction force, like a thirsty ox drinking water, drained all the internal energy from his body in an instant.

“No... no! My internal energy! My cultivation!”

His cultivation level plummeted rapidly.

Before binding with the Ultimate Show-Off System, his cultivation was at the late stage of Dark Force. But after all the twists and turns, exhausting himself to show off, his cultivation had now regressed to the early stage of Dark Force!

“No—”

Ye Liangchen collapsed by the roadside, completely drained, almost sucked dry. He had trained hard for over a decade, only to have it all undone by a failed attempt to show off. His future looked bleak, and despair filled his heart.

“No! I can’t give up. I need to keep showing off. Since things are already like this... only by showing off can I get stronger.”

“I’ll start a livestream! I’ll show off! I’ll even wear a mask if I have to!”

Ye Liangchen, the man who could endure humiliation for three years, was truly resilient. He embodied the spirit of perseverance, proving that blood could be shed, heads could be broken, but showing off must never stop.

Just then, a young couple passed by, pointing and whispering about him.

“Honey, let me tell you... this guy definitely looks like a gay man.”

“Yeah, I think so too.”

Ye Liangchen: “......”

Damn you! You’re the gay ones! I’m straight!

“Gurgle—” A wave of hunger hit him.

He was starving, but when he reached into his pocket... all his money had been given to that mother and daughter. Now he was left looking like a broke loser, and it was unbearable.

“Excuse me, I overheard you saying you’re hungry. I happen to have a bread roll here. I’m not hungry, so you can have it.”

A chubby man in a black shirt walked over, rubbing his bald head.

“Who are you—” Ye Liangchen frowned.

The bald man patted his chest and introduced himself, “I’m Jie. They call me Brother Jie...”

Ye Liangchen narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that something was off.

“No... no thanks. I’ll be going now.”

After his experience with Brother Qiang, he was now terrified of bald men.

Clearly, his newly acquired title, ‘Scheming Bottom,’ was starting to take effect.

......

“You pervert! Who would want to go to the same school as you?”

Yu Wan’er was stomping her feet again. If she wasn’t disciplined for three days, she’d start causing chaos.

They had just been discussing their grades, which inevitably led to the topic of which school to attend.

With their grades, they could easily get into top-tier universities.

“Sister Mengyao, Sister Qiaoqiao, let’s ace the national exams together and escape from this pervert!”

The young girl tried to rally Ye Mengyao and Qin Qiaoqiao to stand against the great demon, Jiang Che.

However, she clearly overestimated her standing in the hearts of the two women.

Qin Qiaoqiao: “╮(╯-╰)╭”

Ye Mengyao: “→_→”

Bai Qiangwei, on the other hand, felt no particular way about it. Wherever Jiang Che went to school, she would follow. Jiang Che was her only pillar of support now. If she hadn’t met him... she couldn’t even imagine what she would have become.

The most anxious one was Bai Jie. Whenever the topic of grades came up, she felt a pang of fear.

Although her grades were good, and she was a top student, she still fell short of being a top-tier genius.

What’s more, over the past few years... she had spent most of her time secretly pining for Jiang Che. If Jiang Che aimed for a top-tier university... what would she do?

She knew all too well that she and Jiang Che were from two different worlds. She had worked so hard, sacrificing so much, just to get close to him.

She couldn’t let all her efforts go to waste. Her current score was just over 600. To make herself worthy of Jiang Che... she needed to raise it to 700 within three months!

This miracle, she had to create it!

Bai Jie’s gaze grew determined.

Jiang Che’s eyes fell on Bai Jie, and the girl immediately lowered her head. When she was with Jiang Che... she didn’t dare to take off her mask.

Deep down, she had a feeling that Jiang Che had probably recognized her already.

After all, what could a mask really hide? Only her cheap sense of dignity!

Jiang Che was well aware of Bai Jie’s inner turmoil. This girl was complex and contradictory, her love twisted and humble.

Her love was fierce—she was even bold enough to drug Ye Mengyao at her birthday party out of jealousy. Yet, in front of him, she was timid and fearful.

Little Bai Jie still hadn’t fully grasped the true nature of this big bad wolf. She didn’t need to go to such lengths.

Jiang Che wasn’t the type to abandon someone after leading them on.

He might be a beast, but he was a beast with principles!

Just then, the doorbell of the villa rang.

“Shuang’er, go open the door!”

Ah~ With so many maids around, I’ll make you, Chen Ningshuang, do the work. How does that feel?

Chen Ningshuang was visibly reluctant, but what could she do?

She was a prisoner now.

She had no choice but to obediently open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a gentle voice rang out.

“Son, have you missed me...”

Jiang Yunli’s face was full of smiles, but as soon as she saw Chen Ningshuang... her expression darkened, and her smile vanished.

She had no fondness for the woman who had attacked her son.
