After wishing them a happy newlywed life, Yu Xunge told the two that she was leaving. Su Yitong not only personally escorted her to the door but also had the Su family driver take her home. Clearly, she was very satisfied with the wedding gift and Yu Xunge's thoughtfulness.

The next day, Yu Xunge was surprisingly invited by Su Yitong to a new villa in the Su family's estate. This was her and Yu Xunhuan's new home. She had previously thought that other branches of the Su family lived in this villa, but it turned out to be the newlywed residence prepared for Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan.

As soon as she walked in, she noticed a faint blue light illuminating the floor. Not only that, but she also smelled the Revealing Potion, yet she couldn't find any trace of mist. It seemed the technology had been comprehensively upgraded.

Su Yitong explained, "Oh, don't mind that. It's a pressure sensor. It's harmless."

Yu Xunge understood. She had spent the entire month of September in Hong Kong City collecting weapons and hadn't visited the Su family in a long time. She guessed that the main Su family building was probably entirely covered with this kind of thing. It was highly likely that the Liang family had already found various ways to deal with it. She immediately decided that she wouldn't be visiting the Su or Liang families for the time being.

After all, where there were sensing devices, there would naturally be corresponding capture mechanisms.

After touring the marital home, Yu Xunge was kept for a meal before leaving. She finally understood how much Su Yitong liked the gift.

Before leaving, Yu Xunge told Su Yitong, "On the day you pick up the bride, I'll use my talent to set your Fate Gear to maximum! Don't worry!"

These words caused Su Yitong's expression to stiffen for a moment. Her Luck had once been maxed out at 10, but it had inexplicably dropped to 8. At the time, she had suspected everyone, even going to the Yu family to test if Yu Xunge was a player and if she possessed any God-Bestowed Talents that could curse people.

However, she quickly regained her composure. With a wave of her hand, she had the Su family driver take Yu Xunge home, but a second car followed behind, filled with gifts for Yu Xunge.

That evening, when Yu Xunge went to the Yu family villa for dinner, she praised Su Yitong profusely.

If it were in the past, Yu Xunhuan would have at least asked her to use her skills on him. As for whether Yu Xunge, who had already agreed to Su Yitong, would be put in a difficult position because of it, he wouldn't have cared. But now, Yu Xunhuan hadn't recovered from his God-Bestowed Talent being downgraded from SS-rank to SB-rank. The fact that he could force himself to attend the wedding rehearsal showed his resilience.

Yu Qingshan ate his meal in small bites, his mind wandering, giving the impression that his soul had already departed.

Although Yi Qiuguo knew her family had treasures, Yu Qingshan had only taken her to see them once. She didn't know the specific value of those treasures, so while she felt heartbroken, the blow wasn't that significant. She was a very simple woman; as long as her husband, son, and daughter were well, she felt happy.

For a time, only the two women were talking at the table, while the two grown men mechanically stuffed food into their mouths.

On the wedding day, the 18th, Yu Xunhuan sat in the master bedroom of his villa, waiting for Su Yitong to pick up the bride.

Yu Xunge and Yu Qingshan had specifically invited other collateral branches of the Yu family to support them and block the Su family members. They made a show of it before letting them in.

After using the Fate Gear, one could choose whether or not to hide their Luck value from the target. It was fine to do bad things normally, but when increasing someone's Luck, of course, it should be displayed to the other party!

Moreover, Yu Xunge had no intention of causing trouble on such a day. Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan, as the male and female leads, even if their Luck values dropped to 1, they wouldn't be excessively unlucky. For example, Yu Xunhuan, with a Luck of 1, had the Gun King fire seven shots consecutively without hitting him, only managing to graze him. That's just how unreasonable it was.

The wedding banquet this time had many more attendees than the previous one. She even saw Liang Yuchuan, wearing a black long glove that reached mid-bicep on her right hand. It was likely a prosthetic limb underneath, otherwise, there would be no need for such an affectation.

She looked at Su Yitong with icy scrutiny.

The game's methods were endless. Although she was almost blinded by hatred at the time and quickly identified those eyes with the third daughter of the Su family's third branch, large families didn't act impulsively. After Liang Yuchuan and the Liang family discussed it, they all felt something was amiss.

Putting aside the fact that the Su and Liang families had no deep-seated enmity, only minor business disputes, it wasn't worth incurring such a bloody feud. Even if Liang Yuchuan had somehow offended Su Yitong, why would Su Yitong personally handle it?

To take it a step further, if Su Yitong was bored and wanted to do something big, but she didn't know Liang Yuchuan's abilities, why would she only chop off Liang Yuchuan's arm and then mercifully leave her alive? And then even make eye contact with Liang Yuchuan?

If she had drunk two fewer cups before leaving, she wouldn't have done something like this.

But as rational as she was, Liang Yuchuan couldn't forget those eyes even when she closed them.

The Liang family still came today, not only to maintain superficial peace. Liang Yuchuan's uncle, the head of the Liang family, planned to investigate for a while longer. If the culprit couldn't be found, they would find an opportunity to have a good talk with the Su family's decision-makers about the matter.

Yu Xunge's gaze merely swept over Liang Yuchuan briefly, as if she were just curious about the guests. She focused on eating, smiling when she should, and applauding when she should. She was just an unremarkable relative of the live-in son-in-law. Even though people occasionally glanced at her due to her maxed-out charm, she remained quiet and unobtrusive.

And then... this unremarkable relative of the live-in son-in-law, using the Probe skill of her pocket watch, stole from all thirty-seven players at the banquet.

These were all her "acquaintances" from her previous life.

The more she stole, the angrier she became. Almost every single one of them had had a falling out with her. In the past, she couldn't help but wonder if she was naturally likable.

But now she understood. It was because Yu Xunhuan was using her as a tank (the position that attracts aggro and stands at the front to tank damage during combat).

After the meal, Yu Xunge, being very sensible, took Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo home. She didn't join the post-wedding teasing. If the Su family members did it, it was because they had close family relationships. If the Yu family members did it, it would be considered presumptuous.

It was better for them not to get involved.

However, as they were in-laws, the Su family still sent a driver to take them home. On the way, Yu Qingshan, who had been forcing a smile all day, finally relaxed. He leaned back in the seat, staring out the window with a melancholic expression.

Yu Xunge asked a few questions, but Yu Qingshan didn't answer. She "understandingly" stopped asking.

After returning to her own villa, Yu Xunge added a few more dishes to the Meow Meow Hostel in the backyard. Ever since she obtained the God of Cooking Talent, she had developed a compulsive streak when cooking. If the vegetables weren't cut well, she would be displeased. If the heat wasn't right, she would become agitated. If the dishes she made received a low rating, she would feel inadequate
