Click! The phone hung up!
Just then, an anxious voice came from inside the wooden cabin.
"What's wrong? What happened to Murong?"
A figure ran out from the cabin, the middle-aged man's dignified expression showing a hint of panic.
He was the current head of the Gu family, Gu Yan's father - Gu Tianming.
Hearing the sound of breaking glass, he hurried out.
Su Murong saw him and waved excitedly: "Tianming, it's great! Our son has finally gotten over Shen Wan'er!"
!!
"What did you say?!"
Gu Tianming walked up to Su Murong, dumbfounded by her words.
What? You've gotten over Shen Wan'er??
Then what was the point of me arguing with you every day and making our relationship so tense?!
And besides! The one who said they would scold you to your senses was Su Murong, but I ended up being the bad guy?!
Thinking of this, Gu Tianming's expression towards Su Murong became a bit resentful.
Seeing her husband's face, Su Murong immediately frowned and her face darkened: "What are you thinking in your mind?"
"Ah, nothing, nothing. So honey, why did little Yan get over her?"
Gu Tianming, his thoughts exposed, coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject.
Seeing this, Su Murong was too happy about the good news from Gu Yan to bother with Gu Tianming. She excitedly said: "Oh, it's that childhood betrothal with the Leng family."
"Since it was arranged by our dad, the girl's side should be fine... Uh, Tianming, what's with that expression?"
As Su Murong spoke, she looked puzzled at Gu Tianming, whose face was gradually turning pale and panicked.
He finally came to his senses, covered his face, and said: "It's over! Why does this kid keep falling for stranger and stranger women?!"
"That betrothed girl from the Leng family... she's... she's..."
Su Murong became anxious and quickly asked: "She's what??"
"She's blind!! Alas!"
Gu Tianming put down his hand and sighed.
Well, it seems the relationship between father and son won't be mended again.
"Ah!"
Su Murong was also stunned when she learned this fact.
No way, son. You just got over Shen Wan'er, and now you're onto a disabled person?!
But! But she had already promised Gu Yan to handle this matter.
This...
Su Murong and Gu Tianming exchanged a glance, both revealing a bitter smile.
Gu Tianming sighed, waved his hand, and said confidently: "Forget it, knowing that kid's personality, when he sees the girl is blind, he definitely won't agree to this marriage."
"He'll most likely choose to cancel the engagement after meeting her in person. We'll just have to give the Leng family some compensation then!"
Hearing this, Su Murong also felt it was a good plan, so she nodded: "I guess that's all we can do for now."
......
.......
Three days later, at the Leng family residence.
In a bright and airy room.
A young woman with closed eyes sat at a desk. She was like a vivid painting, exuding a unique charm.
Her aura was fresh and elegant. Although she couldn't see the colors of this world, her beauty was unaffected.
She had silky black hair, smooth and glossy, gently draped over her shoulders. Her face was full of soft curves, with delicate features and skin as white as snow.
She wore a light, elegant dress, its skirt swaying gently, emitting a faint fragrance.
This person was the eldest daughter of the Leng family - Leng Qingqiu!
She expressionlessly ran her hands gently over the book on the desk, a book specially made for the blind.
To make the hidden enemies lower their guard, she had gone so far as to destroy her own eyes and become a disabled person.
"Five years, I can't believe five years have already passed," Leng Qingqiu murmured to herself.
Her voice was cool and pleasant to hear. Once, countless young talents in Jianghai City had crowded at her door just to hear her speak a single word.
But now, times had changed. The Leng family was no longer the Leng family of the past, and Leng Qingqiu was no longer the Leng Qingqiu of before.
Just then.

"Second Young Miss, you can't just barge into the Young Miss's study like this..!"
"Get out of my way! I'm so angry! I must talk to my sister about this matter!"
Accompanied by arguing voices, the study door was roughly pushed open.
At the same time, a figure with dyed yellow hair walked in.
Without even thinking, Leng Qingqiu knew who it was.
She calmly continued to feel the knowledge on the book's pages while saying without turning her head: "Ling'er, what's the matter?"
Leng Ling'er was the second daughter of the Leng family and Leng Qingqiu's younger sister.
However, when she entered the study and saw Leng Qingqiu, her angry expression immediately softened. She ran over to Leng Qingqiu's side.
Pouting, she reached out and hugged Leng Qingqiu's head, pressing it against her flat chest and nuzzling: "Sister! The Gu family is too much!"
Leng Qingqiu was cold and distant to everyone else, but she had endless patience for her sister Leng Ling'er.
She sighed, breaking free from Leng Ling'er's embrace, and calmly asked: "What about the Gu family? They shouldn't have any connection with a small family like ours anymore."
In the past, the Gu family and the Leng family did have a sweet period, but unfortunately...
Thinking of the events of that year, Leng Qingqiu's heart was filled with murderous intent.
The Gu family, although there was no clear evidence that they were involved in the events of that year, was still among Leng Qingqiu's suspects.
If she found out they were involved...
Leng Ling'er didn't notice her sister's unusual state and said helplessly: "Ah!! That's exactly the problem!"
"The Gu family arranged a childhood betrothal with grandfather years ago, and now that Gu family young master is coming to discuss this marriage!"
"And the betrothed girl is you, sister!"
As the words fell.
Leng Qingqiu fell silent.
The room became completely quiet.
No matter how much she thought, she couldn't have imagined there was still such a matter?
Come to think of it...
When the Leng family was still a top family, grandfather seemed to have mentioned to her that he had arranged a marriage for her.
But now... their Leng family was no longer the Leng family of the past.
That marriage arrangement...
Meanwhile, Leng Ling'er was still crying beside her: "Sister! I don't want you to get married! Don't marry someone else! Waaah! You're my only sister!"
Listening to Leng Ling'er's words, Leng Qingqiu found it amusing. Given the current situation, how could the Gu family possibly be interested in her?
"Stop crying, the young master of the Gu family isn't coming here to marry me."
Leng Qingqiu shook her head, immediately causing Leng Ling'er to pause: "Huh? It's not..."
Before she could finish, Leng Qingqiu stood up, picking up the cane leaning nearby. She said calmly: "That's right."
"If I'm not mistaken, that so-called Gu family young master is probably coming to cancel this engagement."
But this is for the best.
Leng Qingqiu was calm inside. Since the family incident, she had lost all interest in romance. Since destroying her own eyes, she understood that she could never be like a normal girl, nor could she enjoy life like one.
In this life, she had only one path - revenge!
As long as Ling'er was safe and sound, that was enough!
On the other hand, when Leng Ling'er heard Leng Qingqiu's words, she became upset again: "So you're saying, he's coming to break off the engagement?! How dare he! Just a mere male fish!"
Leng Ling'er's indignant words made Leng Qingqiu sigh helplessly: "Alright, let's go downstairs and wait. Who knows what kind of show they'll put on to break off the engagement."
Meanwhile.
In front of the Leng family mansion.
A Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up at the entrance.
Inside the car.
"Young Master, we've arrived."
The butler in the driver's seat spoke.
"Mm."
Gu Yan in the back seat nodded slightly. He looked towards the Leng family's main gate.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, his eyes also revealing a hint of anticipation.
Well then, let me meet my future big shot!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
