Lin Wanwan’s dagger-like glare shot over instantly: “What are you barking about? If you can’t speak properly, then shut up! This is between me and Shen Yan. What business is it of yours?”
Xue Liping sprang to her feet, pointing at Lin Wanwan, ready to rage: ”Lin Wanwan! You—”
Lin Wanwan wasn’t stupid—how could she possibly wait for the scolding to come?
She cut her off directly, her tongue flying: “‘You’ what? Isn’t it obvious you want me to divorce Shen Yan? Then cut the nonsense and show some sincerity! Give me 100,000 yuan, and I’ll divorce him right now!”
Xue Liping gasped in shock, eyes bulging as she stared at Lin Wanwan in disbelief: “You’re money-crazy! Do you have any idea how much 100,000 is?”
“If you won’t pay, shut up! What are you playing rich heiress for?”
Lin Wanwan snapped back without courtesy, then felt a bit dissatisfied.
[System, I said all that—why didn’t her hatred value go up?]
The System fell into an eerie silence: […Once hatred value reaches 100, it turns into murderous intent, so 99 is already the limit.]
Lin Wanwan was thoroughly depressed: [You mean all my effort just now was wasted?]
The System quietly played dead: […]
Lin Wanwan gathered herself and turned to Mother Shen, ready to farm her hatred.
But before she could even speak, Mother Shen beat her to it: “The Shen family doesn’t have that kind of money. If you don’t want a divorce, then just leave things as they are.”
Lin Wanwan: “??”
Wait, you’re just giving up like that?
Not even going to fight for it a little?
Shen Yan is your precious son!
At that moment, Mother Shen happened to look at Shen Yan: “You’ll have to figure out the money yourself. The family can only give you 5,000.”
Shen Yan asked Lin Wanwan: “If I give you 100,000, you’ll divorce me?”
Lin Wanwan gave him a wicked smile: “Xue Liping gets it for 100,000, but you’re different—you have to give me one million!”
Come on, let’s see how much hatred value you gain this time!
[Shen Yan’s hatred value -1]
Lin Wanwan was instantly dumbfounded: “??”
What was wrong with Shen Yan?
She’d made an exorbitant demand!
And his hatred value actually DROPPED!
What she didn’t know was that what Shen Yan hated most was the Original Owner’s unreasonable tantrums.
Now, although she was making an exorbitant demand, she was at least showing a willingness to negotiate.
This actually made Shen Yan less repulsed by her.
Shen Yan began to haggle: “One million is impossible…”
“I believe in your abilities.”
Lin Wanwan interrupted him with a smile, “With your talent, forget one million—you could earn back ten billion. If I don’t divorce you, half of all that money is mine. I’m only asking for one million—that’s already a clearance sale. If you’re not willing, then we’ll just keep dragging this out. Shen Yan, you wouldn’t want me clinging to you every day from now on, making scenes at your home, or even at your school, would you?”
Lin Wanwan talked and smiled, her greedy, shameless face enough to make anyone die of anger!
Yet Shen Yan still didn’t get angry—
[Shen Yan’s hatred value -1]
Lin Wanwan: “…”
Seriously, is this guy sure his brain is okay?
“If you go back quietly now and stop making trouble, I can send you 50 yuan a month for living expenses.”
Shen Yan’s tone was indifferent. “If I really do earn one million in the future, I can give you the money—but you must agree to the divorce!”
“Only 50 a month? Are you treating me like a beggar? It has to be 100!”
“As long as you promise not to make a scene, I can give it to you.”
【Shen Yan’s Hatred value -1】
Lin Wanwan: “…”
Great. Now she was certain—this guy was a lunatic!
She kept stirring up hatred: “Before I divorce you, you must stay faithful! No fooling around with any wild women outside! And you have to cut ties with this woman!”
“I never had anything to do with her in the first place.”
“Brother Yan!”
Xue Liping looked at Shen Yan, wounded. “She’s obviously doing this on purpose. Don’t listen to her!”
But Shen Yan didn’t look at her. Instead, he kept his eyes on Lin Wanwan and continued, “Any other demands? You can say them all at once.”
“I want to buy a new watch.”
“Fine.”
“I also want a camera.”
“Anything else?”
“I want a car!”
Xue Liping shrieked, “Lin Wanwan! Don’t push it too far!”
But Shen Yan remained calm: “That one can’t be bought right now. Imported cars are too expensive, and they require an Allocation Permit—private individuals can’t purchase them.”
Lin Wanwan didn’t want to speak: “…”
She had made so many demands, yet not a single point of Shen Yan’s Hatred value had gone up!
Did she have to act like the Original Owner—crying, wailing, and threatening to hang herself? Act shamelessly toward Shen Yan?
【System, the Original Owner made so many people hate her. Why did I only inherit three?】
【The Host must meet the person in question in order to inherit their Hatred value.】
Lin Wanwan understood instantly—the System just didn’t want her slacking off.
She looked at Shen Yan again: “You must cut off all contact with Lin Qingyu!”
Wasn’t the Female Lead planning to use her as the villain while she hid behind the scenes and reaped all the benefits?
Well, she refused to let the Female Lead have her way!
【Shen Yan’s Hatred value +1. Reward: 1,000 yuan.】
Lin Wanwan was suddenly annoyed.
She had made all those outrageous demands earlier, and Shen Yan’s Hatred value hadn’t budged. But now, just by asking him to cut ties with the Female Lead, he got angry?
Did he like the Female Lead that much?
With eyes that blind, he deserved to be backstabbed by the Female Lead later, with all the assets he worked so hard for ending up in her hands.
Lin Wanwan deliberately threatened, “If you won’t agree, I’ll go find Lin Qingyu right now!”
【Shen Yan’s Hatred value +1. Reward: 1,000 yuan.】
Shen Yan’s expression turned cold and stern: “I’ll agree. Just don’t go harass Lin Qingyu. This has nothing to do with her.”
But Lin Wanwan wasn’t the Original Owner—some tool with no voice of her own. She had a mouth, and she used it: “Lin Qingyu personally called me and told me that you and Xue Liping had gotten together. And you’re telling me this has nothing to do with her?”
“What did you say?” Xue Liping shrieked. “You’re saying Lin Qingyu called you herself?”
Lin Wanwan answered with a question of her own: “What else? It’s not like I have eyes a thousand miles away or ears that hear across the world—how else would I know you were clinging to Shen Yan? Before I came, in all of Haicheng, apart from Shen Yan and Lin Qingyu, who else even knew about me?”
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes.
Over a month ago, Lin Qingyu had told him that Lin Wanwan’s Fourth Brother, Lin Xiangbei, had come to Haicheng and tried to pester her, but fortunately a passerby had helped drive Lin Xiangbei away.
Lin Qingyu had even warned him to be careful, saying Lin Xiangbei might come looking for him.
He had been on high alert at the time, waiting for Lin Xiangbei.
In the end, Lin Xiangbei never came—instead, it was Lin Xiangbei bringing Lin Wanwan to make a scene at his school.
Because of Lin Qingyu’s warning, he had never once suspected she was involved.
Now Lin Wanwan was claiming that Lin Qingyu had personally called her.
Who was lying?
Shen Yan looked at Lin Wanwan coldly: “You think I’d believe you?”
“Believe it or not, I don’t care,” Lin Wanwan said, too lazy to argue with him. She kept spilling secrets. “Lin Qingyu also told me that Xue Liping got married in the countryside and even had a child. She said that as long as I notify her ex-husband, Xue Liping would be finished.”
Xue Liping’s face instantly flushed red. Covering her ears, she broke down screaming, “Ah—no—I didn’t—I didn’t—you’re lying—”
She shrieked and tried to rush out the door, but Lin Wanwan grabbed her. “What are you running for? I never said I was going to notify your ex-husband.”
