Chapter 202

Qian Daode said, “Not really. I’m used to it. A lot of people scold me. I’ve been through this for years. Getting hit is normal too.”

Meilan sent a head-patting emoji.

“There, there. You’re a big kid now. You shouldn’t feel bad about these things.”

“Mm … I’ll try my best.”

“By the way, how much do you know about Ye Aotian?”

Qian Daode immediately perked up and said, “I think he’s definitely an outstanding, amazing person. I believe his status will surpass Di Junsi’s in the future. He’s also the only one who doesn’t look down on me. I’m really grateful to him. Plus, I’ve decided to help him. I’m actually pretty smart—most strategies and schemes, I can handle.”

Meilan was delighted.

Hearing news about her son instantly lifted her mood tremendously. The moment she saw her son collapse, she was genuinely worried but couldn’t express it. Now, she felt her anxious heart finally settle. She was truly content.

“Mm, Brother Di praises him often too.”

Qian Daode said, “Um…  Sister Meilan … there’s something, hehe.”

“Spit it out. It’s not something good, but I’ll let you be cheeky this once.”

“I want … to see you. Not a video, just a photo would do. Anything, really …”

Meilan said helplessly, “Fine, but delete it after you see it. No saving.”

With that, she casually snapped a photo and sent it. It was simple—just a slightly unbuttoned shirt. Nothing extra, no skin exposed or anything.

Qian Daode instantly lit up and said, “Sis, you’re just too beautiful.”

“Alright, enough. Brother Di’s back. Don’t let anyone see your phone, got it?”

Qian Daode naturally understood.

…

In the early morning, Chen Fan, as per his usual habit, woke up early. Although yesterday Wu Meiniang was tricked once, Chen Fan still firmly held onto his true intentions.

Joking aside, a mere woman—though he felt a bit regretful.

Glancing at Zhu Yeqing beside the bed, he instinctively pulled the blanket over her.

Sitting in front of the computer, he opened his diary.

Another day to claim rewards.

[July 25: Though it’s been a bumpy ride, the plot has finally progressed. It scared me to death.]

[The protagonist has finally leveled up and is about to enter a period of explosive growth in strength. He’s going to charge into the First-Rank realm with an extremely arrogant attitude. Hmm, this is probably the cheat-mode phase.]

[Tch, tch, tch. As for these female leads, I don’t even want to bother with them anymore. Honestly, if there were a mental hospital, they should all be locked up, this bunch of dogs.]

[Zhu Yeqing seems to be falling for me. Sigh, this is a good thing, but what if things get out of hand in the future? I’m really worried that one day I might accidentally kill the protagonist.]

[But it’s fine, it doesn’t affect the development. After all, I’m naturally a magnet for hatred—lots of people look down on me. The stronger Zhu Yeqing gets, the smoother the plot progresses. Hmm, she’s sleeping, so I need to type quietly, hehe.]

Damn, I’m so jealous, envious, and hateful!

At this moment, the group chat was completely thrown into chaos by this sentence.

Cao Zijing said, “I think we should vote to kick Zhu Yeqing out.”

“Agreed, I also think we should vote.”

“Showing off their love every day, flaunting it, it’s really too much. Keep showing off, and you’ll die faster!”

Zhu Yeqing sent a shy emoji.

You damn woman, what’s with the shy emoji?!

Jin Lan said, “That’s enough, Zhu Yeqing.”

“Got it, Sister Jin Lan. By the way, I have more photos of Chen Fan. Wanna see?”

Lin Qingyue said, “Send them. I’m in a meeting, so annoyed. Started a new company, and every day is full of issues. Feels like I’m surrounded by useless people.”

Ling Yuyan sent a nosebleed emoji, chuckling mischievously.

Zhu Yeqing sent a photo of Chen Fan’s back.

Of course, Chen Fan wasn’t wearing any clothes, standing by the glass window, looking at the scenery outside, seemingly deep in thought.

“I stole it! I’m making it my wallpaper, hahahaha!”

Ling Yuyan went wild in the group chat.

Zhu Yeqing said, “Hehe, there are others, but I’m not showing you those. Those are off-limits.”

Damn you, woman, hoarding it all for yourself? Shameless!

At this moment, the diary updated again.

[Hmm, I’m about to head to the company to be a boss, but just a hands-off one. It’s some kind of Fengtou Company, which happens to be in opposition to Ye Aotian’s side. Hmm, makes sense. As the villain, I’m supposed to target Ye Aotian’s company at every turn.]

[There are some interesting things happening today.]

[It didn’t take Ye Aotian long to inherit the company. With Zheng Shaoyang’s help, and now with Qian Daode joining, he’s basically free to develop his entertainment industry business as he pleases.]

[Today should be the movie’s press conference, right? For promotion, pfft, hahaha.]

[This day seems to revolve around Liu Feifei’s story. I feel bad for her; this kind of plot must be tough to deal with.]

Why me?! Damn it, damn it, damn it!

At this moment in the group chat, Ye Ziyue instantly perked up, quietly sending a mischievous smirk emoji.

Hahaha, you have your day too!

Liu Feifei was so angry her teeth hurt.

What’s going on? Damn it, I’m the second female lead! Why is the third female lead mocking me? Doesn’t she know who’s in charge?

[At the movie’s press conference, they encountered a crazed fan. Then, Ye Aotian kicked the fan away, and Liu Feifei put on a fangirl expression, which even trended on the hot search.]

What the hell?!

Hahahahaha!

The group chat exploded with laughter.

Ye Ziyue said, “I think this is even more satisfying than me being able to stand up, hahahaha.”

Liu Feifei said, “Stop laughing, you guys are too much! Wuwuwu, I’m done with you all, I’m leaving the group!”

Cao Zijing said, “If you leave, don’t come back.”

“No way! Make me an admin, sis! Group owner, make me an admin! I want to mute these shameless women!”

“No way, there’ll never be an admin. Don’t even dream about it. Even if there were, it’d be Zhu Yeqing.”

Zhu Yeqing sent a shy emoji.

Damn it.

Cao Zijing thought, why not just kick this girl out? She’s too shameless.

[Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for Liu Feifei. To be honest, with this kind of brain-dead plot, it’s probably a perfect match for her brain-dead self.]

[Mainly, a bunch of people think Ye Aotian is super cool. But today, I’ve got a part to play. Because of drinking, I’ll end up teasing someone I shouldn’t have, and then I’ll get taken away. Quite an embarrassing incident.]

[Qian Daode is shameless enough. This guy gave Ye Aotian the idea to screw me over. Sigh, it’s a moment for the protagonist to show off, I guess. Hmm, I still have to act it out.]

[It’s probably some kind of celebration banquet or something. We happen to meet at the same place, and then Qian Daode comes up with a plan to trap me. The person’s status seems pretty high. Her name’s Nangong Qingyan, right, that’s the woman. I remember now, the head of the Nangong family.]

Holy crap, bro, you’ve got some serious guts!

Seeing the diary reach this point, the group chat was shocked. Ye Ziyue said, “That makes sense. Damn, this is genuinely terrifying. Nangong Qingyan … Qian Daode is ruthless.”

Cao Zijing said, “This is tricky to handle. Sigh, didn’t expect him to go this hard. This is definitely a move to take Chen Fan down.”
