Si Yubai couldn't help but chuckle.
He never expected his sister-in-law to be so hilarious on the inside.
No wonder everyone in the family defended and liked her so much.
She was truly unique.
"Sister-in-law, can we add each other on WeChat?"
Hearing Si Yubai mention adding him on WeChat, Wen Yan immediately remembered her strategy mission.
"Sure, let's do it right now."
After adding Si Yubai on WeChat, the system's mechanical prompt immediately sounded:
[Ding, disgust level decreased by 10, currently at 0.]
Wen Yan's beautiful eyes lit up.
The disgust level had finally dropped to zero.
From now on, she only had to think about how to make this dog of a man's heart flutter!
Wen Yan glanced at Si Moyan.
If she took the initiative to flirt with him, it probably wouldn't raise his affection points by much. She would likely still have to rely on gossiping and helping others to increase his affection.
She had seen through it completely; both the disgust and affection levels were controlled by Stupid Dabai.
Stupid Dabai just wanted to keep her in the Si family. Could it be that Si Moyan had saved the life of its previous host?
Dabai guiltily went offline automatically.
When the truth came to light one day, the host would understand that it was actually helping her.
"Fifth Brother, go back to your room and change your clothes. Don't wander around in front of your sister-in-law wearing a bathrobe from now on."
After Si Yubai left, Si Moyan reminded Wen Yan, "There is a package for you downstairs. It was sent by Gu Beichen."
Wen Yan looked at the man's handsome and gloomy face, and rubbed her nose. "Hubby, I really don't have any contact with him anymore. I don't even know what nerve he struck to suddenly send me something."
Si Moyan's thin, crimson lips pressed tightly together. "Go down and see what he sent you."
"Alright."
To prove that she was no longer in contact with Gu Beichen, Wen Yan opened the package right in front of Si Moyan.
Inside, it turned out to be all the gifts the original owner of her body had previously given Gu Beichen, love letters she had written, and sexy selfies of her in a nightgown.
Seeing those love letters and photos, Wen Yan's scalp went numb.
[Ugh, the original owner's cringeworthy behavior is making me sick.]
[Now, whenever I see a hopeless romantic like Wang Baochuan, I just want to slap her and give her a flying kick.]
[Dating is too hard. It's much better to just become sworn siblings.]
Si Moyan reached out and took the box away.
"Hubby, what are you doing?"
Si Moyan slightly parted his thin lips. "Burning it."
Wen Yan waved her hand. "Fine, fine, as long as you aren't angry."
Those gifts had all been used by Gu Beichen anyway, so there was no use in keeping them.
A week later, the Dayao Village kidnapping case was solved.
The human traffickers, led by Luo Qinglian, would be sentenced to death.
After Master Zhang escaped, the police had not yet caught him.
Gu Yanyan, as one of the kidnapped young women, saw her mental state slightly improve. For the sake of online popularity, she hyped herself up on the internet, claiming she had risked her life to go undercover in the kidnapping village to help the police solve the case. This sparked a lot of attention and heated discussion among netizens.
Many netizens praised Gu Yanyan for being brave and smart, risking her life as an undercover agent, calling her a true warrior.
"Shameless, absolutely brazen! That was obviously all Sister-in-law's credit!" Si Jingyi was furious when he saw the trending topics online.
Wen Yan didn't care at all. She wasn't jealous, nor did she take it to heart.
[She even dares to leech off this kind of popularity. I can only say Gu Yanyan has absolutely no brain. Is she an uneducated dropout or something?]
[Although the kidnapping village case has been solved, there are still people hiding well on the outside who haven't been caught. If Gu Yanyan dares to claim she was an undercover agent, isn't she afraid of retaliation at all?]
Si Jingyi, who had just been very angry, suddenly wasn't angry anymore.
Brainless and malicious people were not worth sympathizing with.
"Sob, sob, sob..."
The female ghost in the black umbrella started crying again.
She had followed Wen Yan back, eager for revenge.
But Wen Yan and the Si family hadn't even stepped out of the house recently, aside from staying indoors.
After being subdued by Wen Yan, her soul was damaged. She couldn't leave the umbrella for long, or her soul might scatter and perish.
At first, Si Jingyi was a bit scared hearing the mournful crying, but after hearing it so much, he grew numb to it.
"Eldest granddaughter-in-law, Chu Man is quite pitiful. How are we going to help her?" Old Master Si had already learned of Chu Man's tragic experience from Fifth Brother. He hadn't expected that coach to be a beast in human clothing.
Wen Yan picked up the black umbrella. "Let's go to the tearoom and discuss it over tea."
Old Master Si called the others to join them in the tearoom.
The two men in the Si family who had been hurt by women could empathize with Chu Man the most.
Si Jingyi said to the black umbrella, "When a hopeless romantic gets in over her head, she ends up digging for wild vegetables."
Si Yubai added, "When a hopeless romantic gets in over her head, it's a one-stop service of getting pregnant and selling the child."
Immediately after, the two brothers chimed in together, "One second it's a romance film, the next it's a tragedy, and finally it turns into a suspense thriller. This is probably the legendary cliff-dive breakup."
Chu Man cried even more mournfully.
They weren't comforting her at all; they were completely adding fuel to the fire.
After Si Jinxiao was publicly disowned by Old Master Si, he returned to the Si family home to pack his personal belongings.
The butler opened the door for him.
Upon entering the villa, Si Jinxiao didn't see anyone else from the Si family.
Just as he was about to head upstairs, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the tearoom.
He quietly walked over to take a look.
The Si family members were all talking to a black umbrella. After a short while, the mournful sobbing of a woman came from inside the black umbrella.
Si Jinxiao got goosebumps all over his body.
Why was there a woman's eerie and tragic crying coming from an umbrella?
Just as Si Jinxiao was about to look closer, Wen Yan in the tearoom noticed him.
Wen Yan tugged at the red string inside the umbrella, and Chu Man suddenly floated out of it.
Si Jinxiao unexpectedly saw a gloomy and terrifying ghost, and he was so scared that his hair stood on end. He scrambled and crawled away from the Si family home.
The Si family had all gone mad!
He would never set foot in here again!
After Chu Man scared Si Jinxiao away, she returned to the umbrella.
"Miss Wen, please help me. Zhou Zhicheng even got promoted recently. He is living a prosperous life, and I am truly unwilling to accept this..."
Wen Yan rested her chin on her fingers and spoke slowly and methodically, "In a few days, Zhou Zhicheng will take Yang Xu to participate in the provincial swimming club league. At that time, when there is a large crowd, we will deal him a fatal blow!"
Old Master Si's eyes instantly lit up.
His favorite thing was watching his eldest granddaughter-in-law tear scumbags apart in epic scenes!
The gossip-loving cells in his body were stirring restlessly.
Si Yubai looked at Si Moyan and spoke with a voice as quiet as a mosquito, "Big brother, aren't you familiar with the manager of the Dolphin Bay Club? Can you arrange for me to represent the Dolphin Bay Club in the competition?"
Wen Yan nodded. "That works. When Yang Xu sees Fifth Brother competing, he will definitely feel a sense of crisis and might even repeat his old tricks. At that time, we can also clear Fifth Brother's name."
Si Moyan gave a low hmm, picked up his phone, and stood up. "I'll go make a call to arrange it right now."
Si Yubai looked at Wen Yan with a flushed face. "Sister-in-law, on the day of the competition, I will wear pink swimming trunks."
Wen Yan, "..."
[Oh my, this little brother is so cute and amazing.]
Si Moyan looked at Si Yubai with a cold and piercing expression. "Don't worry, on the day of the competition, your big brother will cover your sister-in-law's eyes."
Old Master Si walked over to Si Moyan, gently patted his shoulder, and lowered his voice, "Eldest Boy, there are four creatures in this world that are impossible to hold down: a pig about to be slaughtered for the New Year, a startled donkey, a lustful and wide-awake wife, and a fish just pulled out of the water. Just let her look. It is not like you will lose a piece of flesh."
Si Moyan, "..."
Even though he wouldn't lose a piece of flesh, his heart would still ache.
