"Is it too little? Then one million Gold Coins!" Ye Lang obviously misunderstood, but he already felt it was too little. How could such a rare opportunity only be settled for a mere hundred thousand?

How could a hundred thousand possibly be worthy of me, a Prodigal Son?

"No, no, it's too much! Don't bet, I won't win. Wait, Ye Lang, aren't you trying to use my situation to be a Prodigal Son?" Zhen Xiaoyan suddenly thought of Ye Lang's habit of being a Prodigal Son. He would indulge in prodigal behavior whenever he saw an opportunity.

Could it be that this time he was aiming for...

"That's right, how could I miss such a good opportunity? I'll definitely go bankrupt this time! Haha, let's see what other accidents can happen this time!!" Ye Lang said excitedly, completely unaware that Zhen Xiaoyan's anger was starting to flare up.

"Ye Lang, what do you mean by that? Are you saying you'll definitely lose!" Zhen Xiaoyan's furious roar filled the entire classroom.

"Nonsense, of course. With you, who has no looks, no figure, and no talent, let alone winning, I think you'll be kicked off the stage the moment you appear!" At this point, Ye Lang had already run out of the classroom, and most of his words were heard but not seen.

"Ye Lang!!!" Zhen Xiaoyan's enraged roar pierced through the walls, echoing throughout the entire teaching building, while someone pretended not to hear and excitedly went to place his bet.

Zhen Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, having understood that Ye Lang would offer her no help in this matter because he wanted to be a Prodigal Son. He was practically wishing for her to be kicked off the stage.

She really wanted to strangle Ye Lang, but she knew that what Ye Lang said was not wrong. She truly had no looks, no figure, and no talent – a product of nothingness!

How could someone like her defeat those talented women?

However, if you asked her if she regretted it, she would definitely say no!

For her, having given her all, loved, and hurt, was enough!

"Little brother, what happened? You seem to be in a particularly good mood?" Ye Lanyu noticed Ye Lang's cheerful demeanor when he returned home that evening, a bright smile on his face.

"Sister, I have something happy to tell you! In a month, I will successfully go through one million Gold Coins. Haha, this time it's foolproof!!" Ye Lang said with a smile, his happy expression as if he had gained a million Gold Coins instead of losing them.

A normal person would be crying their eyes out and on the verge of death if they lost a million, and even a Prodigal Son would struggle to handle such a loss. This only proved Ye Lang was extraordinary!

A super Prodigal Son, truly a super Prodigal Son!

"...You, I really don't know what to do with you! But, maybe you'll earn something this time." Ye Lanyu shook her head, speaking with great helplessness. Only her precious little brother would find losing a million Gold Coins such a joyous occasion.

"No, not this time, definitely not!" Ye Lang said decisively, shaking his head.

Even with past minor accidents and good luck, Ye Lang didn't believe an accident could happen this time, because this particular accident was impossible!

"You say that every time, yet accidents still happen so often." Ye Lanyu playfully hit Ye Lang.

"This time is different. Let me ask you, if Zhen Xiaoyan were to participate in Talented Women Unrivaled, do you think she would win?" Ye Lang asked.

"No! She shouldn't participate. If she did, she'd be laughed at for a lifetime. Her recent actions have already made many people mock her." Ye Lanyu shook her head, showing a hint of sympathy when speaking of Zhen Xiaoyan.

Perhaps she didn't realize that her own brother was causing the girl she pitied to be even more pitiable!

"If she participates, and I bet on her winning the championship, do you think I could lose that million?" Ye Lang asked with a smile.

"She's participating? How could that be? Hasn't she considered that this would make it impossible for her to hold her head up in the future?" Ye Lanyu asked in surprise.

"Sigh, she knows, but she still agreed. A woman blinded by love is unstoppable; she wouldn't even frown if asked to die." Ye Lang sighed, shaking his head.

He wasn't unaware of the consequences, but he knew Zhen Xiaoyan wouldn't listen to advice at this point. Moreover, he thought, what's the big deal about losing face once? What blow could that possibly be!

Many would understand doing something crazy for love, and her actions didn't harm anyone; she was simply pouring out her feelings.

"If that's the case, why are you joking about it? You shouldn't have placed a bet," Ye Lanyu said with a slight reproach.

"How am I joking? I'm serious! One thing is one thing, she loses her way, I go through my way!" Ye Lang said very seriously.

For Ye Lang, these were two separate matters. No matter how tragic Zhen Xiaoyan's situation might be, he would still place the bet!

"That's true, but it still feels a bit off," Ye Lanyu said.

"It's fine, she won't hold a grudge. That's what's so cute about her, and it's what I like most about her," Ye Lang said nonchalantly. Since he met Zhen Xiaoyan, he had offended her countless times, but each time she would just get angry for a while and then forget.

In reality, it was the same. After offending her today, the next day she still prepared his favorite food and still played with him, laughing and joking.

And so, a few more days passed. Zhen Xiaoyan seemed unaffected by the looming competition. Of course, she was also preparing, thinking about what she needed to do, but she didn't want others to feel pressure because of her.

Seeing Zhen Xiaoyan like this, constantly preparing and fighting for the competition, Shalan felt a sense of imbalance—

Of course, Shalan had been preparing every moment of every day for this competition to perform her best!

Practicing her talents and preparing her competition program went without saying; all the talented women participating were preparing, and she was working harder than everyone else!

In addition to that, she was also working on sculpting her already perfect body to make it even more flawless.

The torment and hardship involved, everyone could understand and know!

And now, she saw Zhen Xiaoyan acting so leisurely, as if nothing was happening, even eating without restraint, her already large frame seeming to grow larger.

Even if she thought Zhen Xiaoyan had no chance, it still annoyed her. And seeing her like this every day made her even more unhappy!!
