Lin Wanwan really couldn’t remember, so she asked Shen Yan, “Who is she?”
Shen Yan was extremely cold. ”Don’t know her.”
Xu Hongying’s face instantly flushed red. ”Shen Yan! It’s me, Zhuang Yufei! How could you forget me?”
Lin Wanwan suddenly remembered. “You say your name is Zhuang Yufei?”
Xu Hongying glared at her resentfully. ”What else? You got a problem with that? A loser like you who couldn’t even get into college shouldn’t be here at all!”
The moment those words came out, Lin Xiangbei flew into a rage. ”Who are you calling a loser? My sister just couldn’t be bothered to take the exam!”
Lin Wanwan was a little speechless. Lin Xiangbei was giving the Original Owner way too much credit—the Original Owner hadn’t even finished elementary school and was a genuinely hopeless poor student!
But this Xu Hongying wasn’t much better herself.
This woman had stolen her stepsister’s identity to attend college in her place.
And in the novel, she was also a minor villain. Because she targeted the Female Lead Lin Qingyu, Lin Qingyu dug up the fact that she had impersonated someone to get into college, and directly had the real Zhuang Yufei brought over.
In the end, Xu Hongying was disgraced and expelled, while Zhuang Yufei was smoothly admitted. Zhuang Yufei was deeply grateful to Lin Qingyu and became a trump card in her hands.
Lin Wanwan hadn’t expected that she’d only come to take some photos and see if she could rack up some Hatred value—and she’d run straight into this impostor Xu Hongying.
But since she’d run into her, she might as well take full advantage.
She couldn’t let the Female Lead be the only one allowed to exploit people for benefits while she wasn’t allowed to cut in on the action, right?
Come to think of it, Zhuang Yufei later married one of the fish Lin Qingyu kept in her pond.
Although that man married Zhuang Yufei, his heart had always belonged to Lin Qingyu.
While a pregnant Zhuang Yufei was slaving away for Lin Qingyu, her husband was running himself ragged serving Lin Qingyu.
Zhuang Yufei really was a pure, first-class sucker.
Lin Wanwan decided to get in touch with Zhuang Yufei.
Such a perfect heaven-sent worker—rather than letting her benefit Lin Qingyu and her simp scumbag, better to let her benefit Lin Wanwan instead.
But for now, she needed to rack up more of Xu Hongying’s Hatred value.
One point of Hatred value was worth 200 yuan!
Way more than what her brother made secretly reselling stuff!
Right at that moment, Xu Hongying sneered with disdain. “Couldn’t be bothered to take the exam? Do you believe that yourself?”
Lin Xiangbei stubbornly refused to back down. “My sister’s been in poor health since she was little. What’s wrong with not feeling like taking the college entrance exam? She has people to provide for her anyway!”
He was talking about their parents and four older brothers, but Xu Hongying assumed he meant Shen Yan.
And in that instant, her Hatred value shot up.
[Xu Hongying’s Hatred value +10, Reward: 2,000 yuan]
Before Lin Wanwan could even enjoy it, Xu Hongying started cursing at her. “You have no shame! You have hands and feet, yet you let others provide for you! You’re nothing but a parasite of capitalism!”
Could Lin Wanwan tolerate that?
She rushed over and slapped Xu Hongying twice across the face.
“Smack smack!”
“If you don’t know how to talk, then shut your mouth! What era do you think this is? You still dare spew filth here!”
[Xu Hongying’s Hatred value +10, Reward: 2,000 yuan]
Lin Wanwan felt a rush of secret satisfaction.
Excellent. Xu Hongying’s Hatred value had already been pushed to 80—only 19 points left until 99.
That was enough for today. Once she got in touch with Zhuang Yufei, she’d come back to harvest the rest of the Hatred value.
Lin Wanwan turned to leave, but Xu Hongying was furious. “A drifter like you dares to hit me!”
She reached out to grab Lin Wanwan, but Lin Wanwan nimbly dodged out of the way.
When Xu Hongying saw her lunge miss, her eyes suddenly darted, and she pretended to trip by accident, staggering toward Shen Yan beside her.
But Shen Yan dodged incredibly fast!
Xu Hongying lunged at empty air once again.
Worse still, this time she really did lose her balance!
“Bang!”
Xu Hongying crashed heavily to the ground, scraping the skin off her chin and elbow.
“Ahh—”
She screamed in pain, lifting her head to look at Shen Yan pitifully.
But Shen Yan had turned his head to look at a nearby tree, not even glancing her way.
Xu Hongying was furious: How could anyone be so cold!
Suddenly, she heard Lin Wanwan say weakly, “Fourth Brother, my chest hurts so much… am I dying?”
Xu Hongying instantly had a very bad premonition!
She hurriedly looked at Lin Wanwan, who was leaning weakly against Lin Xiangbei, one hand pressed to her chest, looking utterly miserable.
Lin Xiangbei immediately cried out, “Sis, your heart condition is acting up again! The doctor said you can’t get worked up! Take a moment to catch your breath—I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”
Lin Wanwan looked at Xu Hongying. “Wait a moment… She’s the one who upset me like this. She has to pay the medical bills…”
Xu Hongying’s face went white with fright, and she scrambled up from the ground. “It’s not my fault! You got sick on your own! Don’t pin it on me!”
With that, she bolted, terrified that one second slower would mean Lin Wanwan extorting her.
Lin Xiangbei even deliberately shouted after her, “Hey! Don’t run! You haven’t paid up yet!”
Xu Hongying ran even faster.
[Xu Hongying Hatred value +10, reward: 2,000 yuan]
Lin Wanwan, still faking her illness: “!!”
This money was way too easy to earn!
Lin Wanwan struggled to hold down the corners of her mouth, then grabbed Lin Xiangbei. “Brother, let’s skip the hospital. I just need to rest a bit.”
To avoid giving herself away, she sat by the roadside recovering for quite a while before dragging Lin Xiangbei off to continue taking photos.
Once they’d photographed most of the school, they went to the park to shoot more.
Lin Xiangbei was thoroughly worn out by her. “Why are you taking so many photos? Film is expensive! Developing them costs a lot too!”
“That’s why we’ll develop them ourselves. Once the photos are done, we’ll sell them. Fourth Brother, you’re so good-looking—these photos will definitely sell well!”
The moment she mentioned selling them for money, Lin Xiangbei’s eyes lit up. “They can really sell? But I’m not a movie star… And…”
He hesitated, looking at Lin Wanwan uneasily—he really didn’t have much confidence in her photography skills.
Lin Wanwan smiled and assured him, “Don’t worry, the photos will definitely sell like crazy!”
Lin Xiangbei was speechless. “…”
He didn’t dare crush his little sister’s confidence.
Then he looked at Shen Yan. “How about taking some of him too? He’s good-looking as well—he’d definitely sell…”
Shen Yan’s icy gaze swept over, and Lin Xiangbei immediately froze into silence.
“Click!”
He jumped in fright—only to see Lin Wanwan press the shutter on Shen Yan.
“Little Sister, you…”
Lin Xiangbei couldn’t help worrying, afraid Shen Yan would blow up at her.
But Lin Wanwan just smiled at Shen Yan. “I’ll give it to you once I develop it—not for sale!”
Shen Yan gave her a cold glance and said nothing.
Lin Xiangbei: “???”
Was Shen Yan just that easygoing, or had his little sister’s power grown even stronger?
It wasn’t until they returned to the Shen family home for dinner that Lin Xiangbei belatedly realized he’d spent the entire afternoon running around with Lin Wanwan and hadn’t gone out to earn any money!
Looking at the darkening sky outside, he couldn’t help wanting to head out and look for ways to make some money.
Who knew that the moment he came out of the kitchen, Lin Wanwan would be there waiting to corner him!
Lin Xiangbei laughed awkwardly. “Little Sister, what are you…”
Lin Wanwan dragged him into the room. “I’ve already told Shen Yan that I’ll be leaving at the latest the day after tomorrow. Fourth Brother, you can’t make me break my word. So behave yourself and stop going out to fool around. What if someone gets you arrested for speculation and profiteering? What would Mom and Dad do then?”
Lin Xiangbei instinctively frowned, wanting to argue back.
But Lin Wanwan cut him off first. “If you want to make money, we can go back and become self-employed entrepreneurs—set up a factory, open a shop, and do it all openly and legitimately!”
Lin Xiangbei frowned and said nothing. He thought of Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu seemed to be really short on money lately, but he didn’t dare tell Lin Wanwan.
One look at his expression, and Lin Wanwan guessed exactly what he was thinking.
Recalling the plot of the book, she sneered. “Are you thinking about Lin Qingyu again? Do you know what she said to Shen Yan?”
