Why did she always believe so much in Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo? Because the year she debuted as a star, the two of them were in a not-so-serious car accident and were hospitalized for about half a month. She only rushed to the hospital on the third day, and it was Yu Xunhuan who took care of them closely. She felt guilty and self-reproachful, but it was also on that day that the two of them took out all their savings, 5 million yuan, for her.

"Accidents come too fast. Mom and Dad don't know how long they'll live. It's better to clarify some things early. We'll give you all the money in the house, and you'll be the pillar of the family from now on."

"Your brother will always need to get married. If the money falls into his hands, and he gets a wife later, he won't know who to be loyal to. You'll have to endure a lot of grievances. We'll feel at ease if the money is with you. If our son is good, we'll give him some; if he's not, we'll keep it to spend ourselves."

Yi Qiuguo still had her usual stingy expression, but her words were affectionate: "Don't blame Mom for being thrifty usually. Look, the money saved is still for you! Has Mom ever lied to you? You're the best. Although Mom always likes to criticize you, she likes you the most."

What a show.

Yu Xunge felt she had been restrained enough, or she wouldn't have only given away half of the money she earned over the years.

She even often felt like she was cold-blooded. Her family trusted her so much and gave her their all, yet she always held something back.

It wasn't until the third year of the game's invasion that she was chased by the Su family to the point of desperation. Following the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest, she ran to the Yu family to hide for a day. It was on that day that she discovered the Yu family's secret room.

How ridiculous. A large flat in the city center. She thought the Yu family was already impressive for buying two floors and combining them. She didn't expect that the unit next door on the first floor also belonged to the Yu family and was specifically used to store the Yu family's treasures. The utility room in that unit directly connected to their study and was used as a secret room.

There were 300 jin of gold bars alone, thirteen boxes of various antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and curios, plus seven boxes of jewelry.

The Yu family indeed didn't have much cash. Yu Qingshan was a collateral branch of the Yu family in City B. He wasn't qualified to participate in the Yu family's business. On the surface, he was just an ordinary professor, but the family's real wealth was these treasures his father received from the old Yu family when the family split.

Just those 300 jin of gold were worth over 70 million yuan... not to mention the antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.

Yet they told her that 5 million yuan was all the family had, that they gave it all to her, and that they only trusted her.

Yu Xunge clutched her aching chest and told herself not to rush, not to blame herself, she wasn't that stupid, they were too formidable.

But the more she thought about it, the more tears flowed.

She knew that from then on, for all eternity, she would never be able to trust anyone again.

They destroyed her ability to trust.

Even her closest relatives could betray her, their sweet words were laced with poison, her perceived openness was all calculation. What about others? How could she dare to trust them?

Yu Xunge opened her eyes, let out a long breath, she couldn't wait any longer. If she didn't get those things tonight, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Today was only the 25th, and Yu Xunge felt busier than a dog.

She drove out directly, went to a SF Express station, bought several of the largest cardboard boxes, and dragged them home.

After assembling the cardboard boxes at home and stacking them neatly in her backpack, she drove openly to the Yu family's residence. By then, the news that Liu Hongsheng had been forced to jump off a building by Liu Zhengliu had already spread through the work group. She briefly exchanged a few words with Yu Qingshan and the others before pretending to be in a bad mood and returning to her room.

Yi Qiuguo seemed to want to say something but stopped. As Yu Xunge was halfway up the stairs, she finally couldn't help but call her back down and told her about Yu Xunhuan bringing his girlfriend home to visit tomorrow. The girlfriend was the youngest daughter of the Su family.

Yu Xunge feigned surprise and then asked, "He's secretly dating? That's great! But the Su family? Which Su family?"

Yi Qiuguo smiled when she mentioned this, "You know Su Baige, right? The movie star, their Su family. Su Baige is the eldest son. The second son, Su Jinxuan, is the previous Olympic archery champion. Your brother's girlfriend is the youngest daughter of the Su family, Su Yitong. They've been dating for about half a year, and they're bringing her to meet us."

Yu Xunge smiled and said, "That's great! You must make a good impression."

Seeing Yu Xunge smiling so brightly, Yu Xunhuan's brow furrowed slightly.

Yu Xunge saw the look in Yu Xunhuan's eyes and felt like throwing up. She didn't understand why, in the book, Yu Xunhuan saw her as a sister with a twisted obsession towards him. She felt she hadn't done anything beyond the line.

She attributed it to the author wanting to kill a character who genuinely cared for the male lead from a moral high ground, forcing them to write her as a madwoman so the male lead could "reluctantly" kill her, then use her talents for his own benefit, giving them to someone who needed them more to help the male lead succeed.

But that was from the book's perspective.

For her, the person involved, the moment she died, she had seen through the essence beneath the hypocritical decorations of these word games.

If he wanted her talent, she had to die.

The stains imposed on her were merely to make the male lead appear "pure and flawless."

But now, it seemed Yu Xunhuan wouldn't really think she considered him her possession, would he? Who was the pervert here?

Yu Xunge endured the nausea and echoed Yi Qiuguo a few times, but didn't mention buying a house at all.

But she was still curious, "I know Su Baige. His family is very rich, right? Will they be satisfied with our family?"

Yu Xunge asked this sincerely, without needing to act. Even after dying once, she didn't understand this. Su Baige was a well-known rich second-generation in the industry. The Su family's assets were at least several billion. Could they accept Yu Xunhuan as a son-in-law??

Yi Qiuguo's expression stiffened, and her voice lowered, "So you see, you already have a house. Can you buy one for your brother too? Just to make a good impression for the wedding, and after marriage, it will be transferred back to your name."

In her previous life, they didn't need to ask proactively. Yu Xunge suppressed a smile and pretended to be helpless, spreading her hands, "I'm out of money. A friend said there's a very good project, and I can make a lot of money by investing. I came back to drink with my brother a few days ago to celebrate this. Once I make money, I can buy villas, but I really don't have any now."

Yi Qiuguo was easily manipulated by Yu Qingshan, but she was also genuinely easy to fool. After Yu Xunge finished speaking, the anger rising on her face subsided again. She moved her lips, and finally looked at Yu Qingshan in silence.

Yu Xunge knew it was time for Yu Qingshan to step in.

But Yu Xunge didn't want to listen. She directly said, "Why don't we sell this house? The down payment should be enough."

Everyone fell silent. Yu Xunge also sighed, frankly admitting her uselessness. This drama hadn't even finished filming, and her agent had an accident. After saying a few meaningless words, she returned to her room with a look of "my career is not going well."

As she passed the study, she opened the door and walked in. She placed the white-boned thrush from her pocket in a corner. The flesh had already been removed from the bird, leaving only the skeleton, which was very small.

After placing the thrush, she casually picked up a book. As soon as she walked out, she saw Yu Qingshan standing outside the study. His expression was gentle, but Yu Xunge knew he was guarding against her discovering the study's secret.

Yu Xunge maintained a normal expression and returned to her room. Then, while doing bodyweight training on the carpet, she closely monitored the movements of the thrush. She had kept

the five attribute points from her upgrade unused because some attributes could be improved through exercise in the early stages.

After exercising for an hour, she took a shower and then began to record the secrets and information she knew from her previous life.

She knew before she died that she was the villainous supporting character in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law. But after rebirth, for some reason, she couldn't remember the specific content of that book clearly... She only remembered the character's profile, which had had too much of an impact on her.
