Celebrating getting away from a scumbag

Fang Yao felt rather sorry for Bo Miao. Not only had her first romance failed to be sweet, it had been an utter disaster.

[Was a hot young stud no fun to touch, or a sweet young cutie no fun to look at? Why the long face?]

Bo Hanmo: ??? I was comforting my little sister, and this was what you were thinking!!!

Just moments ago, Bo Hanmo had been considering introducing his sister to some eligible men. After hearing Fang Yao's thoughts, however, he abandoned the idea entirely.

Suddenly, Fang Yao felt a chill and turned to look. Well, damn. Bo Hanmo was radiating cold air. Why did he look a little green with jealousy?

"Sis-in-law, what random guy are you checking out?! What are you up to?" Bo Zhe blocked his sister-in-law's line of sight on his brother's behalf, then voiced his questions.

"Holy shit, what are you doing? There are people everywhere. How do you know I was looking at a man and not a woman?" Fang Yao grinned without a care, giving Bo Zhe a once-over before rolling her eyes.

ー(￣~￣)ξ

Bo Zhe felt that his brother would have to watch out for more than just men in the future. He would have to guard against women, too. Hugging himself, Bo Zhe vowed not to let his sister-in-law get her claws into him.

Fang Yao rolled her eyes. You're overthinking it. I'd rather get my claws into your brother than you.

Bo Hanmo silently tugged his clothes open and paced back and forth in front of Fang Yao.

Trying to seduce me, huh? 😏 You little tease.

Bo Miao pouted. Aren't you all focusing on the wrong thing? Shouldn't you be paying attention to me right now?

Meanwhile, Chen Shengtian was still droning on about all of Bo Miao's faults, talking about how he would lay down rules for her once they married and manipulate her into fighting her two brothers for the family fortune.

Bo Hanmo and the others restrained themselves from charging over, watching Bo Miao's every move instead.

Bo Miao went from disbelief, hurt, and dejection to utter blankness, then finally to fury. She could put up with him targeting her, but not her family.

[Oho, look at Bo Miao's face. That little bitch Chen Shengtian is in for it! Go get him!!! Bo Miao, I'm rooting for you! Left hook, right hook, knock that little bitch flat! Come on, charge!!!!]

Delighted, Fang Yao stopped drinking her juice and cheered Bo Miao on in her head.

Fang Yao's thoughts fired up Bo Miao's fighting spirit. At that final "charge," she really did charge over and punch Chen Shengtian right in the face.

(╯＞д＜)╯ ﾐ ┸┸)`νﾟ) ┻━┻

When Chen Shengtian saw Bo Miao appear at the hotel, he was about to lecture her, only to take a fist to the face. Throwing everything else aside, he raised his hand to hit her back.

His lackeys had barely spotted Bo Miao before they could even mock her for being unable to stay away from Chen Shengtian, a fist landed on his face. Their jaws dropped.

"What are you standing there for? Grab her!"

"Chen, that's not a good idea." The lackeys wouldn't dare tie up the Bo Family's little princess. If the head of the Bo Family found out, they would be in serious trouble.

"You..." Seeing his lackeys cower, Chen Shengtian decided to do it himself.

Bo Hanmo and the others weren't about to let Chen Shengtian lay his filthy hands on their little sister. They had been caught off guard when Bo Miao charged, but at Fang Yao's urging, they followed only a step behind her.

[Well, damn. Is he planning to tie Bo Miao up and force himself on her so there's no going back?! Thank goodness we came.] Fang Yao's eyes shone as she watched the juicy drama unfold.

Fang Yao had never imagined things could change like this. *[Even if they hadn't come along today, Bo Miao would still have stumbled upon Chen Shengtian's true colors.

With his schemes exposed, Chen Shengtian would have knocked Bo Miao unconscious and taken her to a hotel. By the time she woke up the next day, it would have been too late. He would have had her under his thumb for the rest of her life.]*

Bo Miao's legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor. Bo Hanmo and the others were stunned. From what Fang Yao was thinking, the plot could change because of certain events. What about now, then? Had Bo Miao escaped her fate?

Bo Miao's forehead was covered in anxious sweat. "Sis-in-law, do you think I'm going to grow old alone? I don't trust my own judgment anymore."

Fang Yao snapped out of spectator mode. [???? Where did that come from? One lapse in judgment doesn't mean you'll be blind your whole life. Besides, you have your two brothers! And if all else fails, you still have me. Grow old alone??? Dream on. My son isn't supporting you in your old age. Get your own son to do it.]

Bo Miao: ...Well... this is embarrassing. That really was what I had in mind.

The Bo Family members: No, no, no. What is this girl thinking? My little nephew should be supporting me in my old age. That was Bo Zhe's thought.

❥(ゝω・✿ฺ)

Yang Qi: That sounds tempting. I should talk to Bo Hanmo when I get a chance and have his son call me his godfather, so he can support me when I'm old.

The son who didn't even exist yet: Gee, thanks, everyone. I haven't even been born, and you're already putting this much pressure on me. [○･｀Д´･ ○]

Utterly baffled, Fang Yao said, "Are you on something? Who gave it to you? Your future husband is still waiting for you. What are you doing talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

Fang Yao reached out to feel Bo Miao's forehead. It wasn't hot. She didn't have a fever.

Seeing the system's gossip information about Bo Miao slowly change, Fang Yao looked up at the bar's ceiling. Did this change mean I wouldn't have to become a widow???

Bo Hanmo: ...Crying tears of joy. (^▽^)

Bo Miao laughed through her tears. She decided that if a man pursued her in the future and she liked the look of him, she would ask her sister-in-law to vet him. Her brothers could forget it.

And so, in the days that followed, Fang Yao repeatedly cursed herself inwardly. Why had she opened her big mouth? Couldn't even one of these men be normal? They might look pretty decent to everyone else, but in Fang Yao's eyes, none of them was Bo Miao's actual destined husband!!!!!

(¦3"∠)

Bo Hanmo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as things could change, that was enough. He exchanged a glance with Yang Qi, and they both smiled.

Pinned to the floor beneath them, Chen Shengtian was already seething. You people are taking this bullying way too far.

Bo Zhe bent down and patted Chen Shengtian's face. "You've got some nerve. You wanted to train my little sister into a dog that only obeys you? Go on, tell me. How exactly were you planning to train her?"

With every sentence, Bo Zhe slapped Chen Shengtian across the face. Soon, his face had once again swollen up like a pig's head.

The lackeys found Chen Shengtian's face oddly familiar. Under Bo Zhe's repeated slaps, Chen Shengtian lost every trace of his swagger. All he wanted now was to beg for mercy, because he had caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

She looked like the woman who had beaten him so badly last time that he ended up hospitalized and disfigured.

...┏|*´･Д･|┛

"Young Master Yang, here's the drink you wanted." The beauty who had been in Chen Shengtian's arms earlier rested her delicate hand on Yang Qi's shoulder.

Yang Qi took the drink. "Thanks. Your drinks are on me tonight."

"Thanks, Young Master Yang. Enjoy yourselves. I won't disturb you." The beauty cast flirtatious glances at Bo Zhe and Yang Qi. As for married men, she generally ignored them as long as doing so wouldn't offend them.
