Qin Yiyang was quite pleased with her homophone pun.
Even if she couldn’t change the plot of the paparazzi barging in, at least she could make some money!
Three or five yuan wasn’t too little, and a hundred or eighty thousand wasn’t too much.
After all, according to the plot, her family was about to go bankrupt soon.
Thud!
Something fell from the ceiling and hit her right on the forehead.
Before Qin Yiyang could even cover her forehead, her eyes were drawn to a shiny, round gold coin.
Instinctively, she picked it up and bit it.
“Oh my, it’s real gold!”
Before Qin Yiyang could get excited, more and more gold coins began to fall.
Beside her, Bo Mingze, who witnessed everything: “…”
Did I wake up too hard? Is heaven raining money?
At the same time, two paparazzi barged into the room. Just as they were about to raise their cameras, they froze at the sight of the room filled with gold.
Qin Yiyang sat amidst a mountain of gold, the golden light reflecting off her face, giving her a serene expression, as if she were a gilded statue of a deity.
Paparazzi: Did I wake up too hard? Is the God of Wealth making an appearance?
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Suddenly inspired, Qin Yiyang shouted, “Help! Home invasion robbery! Someone’s stealing money!”
The paparazzi panicked instantly!
No! That’s not true! Don’t make things up!
The shouting attracted quite a few people.
When they peeked into the room, their pupils instantly dilated.
So much gold!
“Is this something I can see for free?”
“Speaking of which, why is Young Master Bo here too?”
Who said the Qin family was going bankrupt?
With this much gold, how could they possibly go bankrupt?
A woman wearing sunglasses passed by, overhearing the crowd’s chatter, and paused in her steps.
She was Shen Yan.
Today, Shen Yan was scheduled to shoot an advertisement and had booked a makeup team at the hotel, never expecting to stumble upon this scene.
Too many people were crowded at the doorway, so she couldn’t see what was happening inside.
But the murmurs of the crowd reached her ears, and she seemed to realize something, her eyes instantly reddening.
“Mingze, so this is your choice. I wish you happiness.”
If she hadn’t said this, it might have been fine.
But as soon as she uttered these words, the onlookers all turned to look.
Shen Yan’s tears seemed on the verge of falling, shimmering in her eyes with a pitiful charm, and even her retreating figure exuded a sense of fragility.
Inside the room, Qin Yiyang was speechless.
Huh? Heroine, why don’t you come in a little further?
What can you possibly see from so far away, acting all dramatic like this?
Holding a pile of gold in her arms and unable to run, Qin Yiyang could only kick Bo Mingze. “What are you waiting for? Go after her!”
Bo Mingze snapped out of his daze and got up to chase after her.
But as soon as he stepped off the bed, his legs went weak.
…Right, he was still under the effects of the drug.
It was all Qin Yiyang’s fault for drugging him!
Leaning on the edge of the bed, he tried to stand up but accidentally brushed against Qin Yiyang’s ankle.
At that very moment, a childlike voice echoed in his mind: [Host, even if Bo Mingze chases after her to explain, it’s useless.]
Another voice chimed in, 【Why?】
Bo Mingze’s eyes flickered.
Was that Qin Yiyang’s voice?
He turned to look but didn’t see her lips moving.
Just as he was puzzled, the childlike voice spoke again:
[Because the sleeping drug was administered by Shen Yan, and the paparazzi were also hired by her.]
Oh my? Qin Yiyang heard this juicy gossip and instantly perked up, completely oblivious to Bo Mingze’s stunned expression.
The System continued to spill the beans.
[Shen Yan isn’t the stepdaughter of the richest man, Mr. Shen—she’s his illegitimate daughter.]
[Back then, after giving birth to two sons, Mrs. Shen had been in poor health. While hospitalized, she hired a female caregiver.]
Qin Yiyang seemed to guess something, her pupils trembling with shock!
[Could this caregiver be Shen Yan’s mother?]
[Exactly!] The System’s tone was excited. [Under Mrs. Shen’s very nose, the Shen tycoon and Shen Yan’s mother exchanged flirtatious glances and soon conceived Shen Yan.]
[Upon learning that his son had committed such a heartless and faithless act, Old Master Shen was furious and threatened to disown him!]
[Shen Yan’s mother, unwilling to put her lover in a difficult position, took the initiative to cut off contact. It wasn’t until Mrs. Shen passed away that the two reconnected.]
Qin Yiyang couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!”
How was this about sparing her lover hardship?
Shen Yan’s mother was too clever.
Rather than letting love fade in poverty alongside her lover, it was better to become his cinnabar mole, his white moonlight.
But what puzzled Qin Yiyang was this: Shen Yan’s mother had blatantly risen from mistress to wife, so why were the ones who doted on Shen Yan the most in the book her wealthy older brother and uncle?
They were Mrs. Shen’s closest relatives!
How could they possibly dote on her?
Before Qin Yiyang could ponder further, the System dropped another bombshell:
[Old Master Shen had always opposed Shen Yan and her mother entering the family, believing Shen Yan was just like her mother—a mistress.]
[Shen Yan took the opposite approach. She hired paparazzi to expose your engagement to Bo Mingze and paid trolls to cyberbully herself.]
[Her goal was simple: to make Bo Mingze and the Shen family feel sorry for her and help her take revenge on the Qin family.]
Qin Yiyang scratched her head: “Oh no, my brain is growing!”
When reading the novel, she had only thought Shen Yan was lucky.
Little did she know it was all part of her meticulous planning!
At that moment, Bo Mingze, who had been eavesdropping, was equally shocked.
“Impossible!” he thought firmly.
Shen Yan was pure and kind-hearted, definitely not a scheming person.
This was nothing but Qin Yiyang’s dark and slanderous imagination.
Bo Mingze spoke up to refute, “Qin Yiyang, so this is your true nature!”
Qin Yiyang: “My true nature is your father!”
“…”
[Host! Something’s wrong! Your parents are in trouble!] the System’s voice rang out.
Qin Yiyang abruptly stood up, the gold on her body clattering to the floor and burying Bo Mingze.
Unnoticing, Qin Yiyang stepped down.
In that instant, Bo Mingze seemed to see his great-grandmother.
Qin Yiyang paused slightly.
As an adult, she knew exactly what part of Bo Mingze she had stepped on.
[System, if Bo Mingze ends up without descendants, will it affect the plot development?]
The System fell silent for a moment. […No, it will only affect you falling in love with him.]
Hearing this, Qin Yiyang’s eyes lit up. [That’s a good thing! Should I step a few more times?]
Instantly, Bo Mingze broke into a cold sweat.
Then he heard her add:
[Consider it acupuncture therapy for the soles of my feet!]
Bo Mingze: ?
