After the male guests set off, the female guests also began their competition.
Su Mian is not in a hurry; she has plenty of time.
You can easily go online, chat, play a few games, and then take a nap.
She sat down on a bench in the yard, and as soon as she opened her social media, she saw the transfer and message that Lu Zhou had just sent.
Hey, this electronic pet that automatically generates coins—last time it threatened to never talk to me again.
Here we go again?
She accepted the transfers with practiced ease.
Inevitably, the following message came into view:
Lu Zhou: "So Duan Xuanyu really is illiterate? And unemployed?"
Lu Zhou: "Isn't your goal to marry a rich man? But Duan Xuanyu is so useless, so you didn't come here for him, right? Who do you really like among Duan Hongxu, Gu Yichen, and Lin Xi?"
Su Mian: "Why aren't you here?"
After replying, I logged into my account and started playing the game.
I checked the message again half an hour later.
Lu Zhou: "Then, between me, Duan Hongxu, Gu Yichen, and Lin Xi, who do you choose?"
A few minutes later.
Lu Zhou: "Answer me!"
A few minutes later.
Lu Zhou: "[Transfer 10,000]. Answer me!"
A few more minutes later.
Lu Zhou: "[Transfer 10,000]. Answer me!!"
This dialogue was repeated several times.
Su Mian accepted all the transfers.
So far, Lu Zhou has almost doubled back the money he spent on her when he pretended to be poor.
Lu Zhou spoke again, "Answer me!"
Su Mian: "You have chicken plague? Of course I'd choose the youngest and most handsome one, Duan Xuanyu."
Lu Zhou collapsed!
Lu Zhou: " Su Mian! Don't go too far! Don't accept any more money I transfer to you!"
Su Mian: "One thing at a time."
Lu Zhou: "Okay! Remember your choice. I hope you won't regret it later! You have no room for regret now, because I'm getting married next month!"
Su Mian: "I will give a gift."
Lu Zhou: "Really?"
Su Mian: "I'll contribute five hundred, but you'll have to fight for the last penny yourself."
Su Mian immediately sent a link.
Lu Zhou clicked on the link.
The displayed content is:
[499.99 yuan, just 0.01 yuan short of withdrawing 500 yuan to the account.]
Share the link and invite your friends to help.
The link expired at 23:58:42.
Lu Zhou did not reply.
Su Mian guessed he probably asked a friend to help him cut the price!
It's five hundred yuan after all!
Inside the Lu Family villa.
Xu Qingyun, wearing her newly changed dress, happily ran downstairs.
Su Mian ordered that humiliating cake for Lu Zhou last time, and the whole Lu Family knows about it.
Considering Su Mian's commercial value, the Lu Family has not taken any action against her for the time being.
But they also threatened Lu Zhou to stop getting entangled with minor celebrities like Su Mian who were not respectable enough to be considered mainstream.
She even urged him to get engaged quickly.
A week later was their engagement dinner.
So Xu Qingyun brought several dresses with her today, hoping Lu Zhou could help her choose one.
She was in a good mood.
But as soon as she went downstairs, she saw Lu Zhou holding his phone, his expression first showing gritted teeth, then a helpless smile, a smile full of helplessness and doting affection.
She knew it; he must be chatting with Su Mian!
Xu Qingyun gritted her teeth and took a deep breath.
It doesn't matter.
The Lu Family looked down on Su Mian.
Besides, they're getting engaged next week, and Su Mian can't possibly break them up.
Xu Qingyun pretended not to know and stepped forward to ask, " Brother Zhou, does this look good?"
Lu Zhou looked up at her expressionlessly. "Have you thought it through?"
Xu Qingyun was taken aback. " Brother Zhou, why do you ask that? I've never thought of marrying anyone but you since I was little."
Lu Zhou was silent for a few seconds, then said, "You should think about marriage carefully."
Xu Qingyun clutched her skirt tightly, her eyes dark, and remained silent for a long time.
Lu Zhou also felt that he should think things through carefully.
He felt that Su Mian might very well regret it.
First, because she was still wearing the bracelet he had given her.
Secondly, it's because Duan Xuanyu is utterly useless.
The relationship experts he arranged are about to start working.
The expert observation room in the live broadcast room was only opened in the first episode.
At the time, several experts said that Su Mian had big problems, criticizing her for being materialistic and money-worshipping.
However, this segment failed to resonate with netizens, and was eventually discontinued.
It restarted again this morning.
Several experts huddled together discussing the male guests.
"It seems like doctors are the most suitable people to marry right now. They have the most stable income, never have to worry about survival, and can even make money if the world ends."
" Xiao Duan has the biggest problem of all the male guests. This kid is too flashy. What's the use of being young and handsome?"
"Yeah, a man's looks are the least useful thing. Right now, men in their early twenties can rely on their looks and physique, but what will they rely on when they get old?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's so superficial of the female guest to choose him!"
[Hilarious! At first, Human Head Bro criticized Mianmian for being materialistic and even hired experts to berate her. Now that Mianmian likes young, handsome men, he's backed down and hired experts to criticize Tyrant Bro for not making enough money.]
[These relationship experts must have been paid by Human Head Bro," right? It's only been half an hour, and you're already convinced that "Tyrant Bro" won't make any money?]
[ Human Head Bro is such an embarrassing ex!]
[ Tyrant Bro, you have to work hard! All the men on and off the show are waiting for you to embarrass them! You have to earn money and prove them wrong!]
Duan Xuanyu arrived at the most bustling and prosperous street in this area.
There is a Heavenly Empress Temple here.
It is said that this temple has existed for over a thousand years.
I don't know when, but a person in power made a rule that this temple must never be touched.
Therefore, this temple has remained in its original state for thousands of years.
During the war, it also served as a refuge for the local residents.
Shells rained down from the sky, bombarding everything around us, but they just couldn't hit this spot.
After the peace was restored, this place became a temple dedicated to the God of Wealth.
Duan Xuanyu went into the temple and took a look.
That radiant, golden diva...
Isn't it just Su Mian?!
[ Tyrant Bro, you're resorting to metaphysics now that you can't make money? What's the point of worshipping the God of Wealth?!]
[ Tyrant Bro, show some backbone! If you don't win today, I'll demote you from legitimate to illegitimate!]
Doesn't this statue look a bit like Mianmian?
[I checked, and this temple did indeed exist around the Northern Liang Dynasty, but there are no records related to this Heavenly Empress, so I don't know who she was based on.]
Duan Xuanyu certainly didn't come here to worship gods.
He had previously seen many antiques displayed in Duan Chaoyang's study at the Duan Family's residence. After inquiring further, he learned that antiques are now highly valuable, and he had also made a special effort to learn about some celebrities in the circle.
There is an antique street near the Heavenly Empress Temple.
There's also a well-known antique enthusiast who publicly posted a video saying he's coming here today to find some bargains.
Duan Xuanyu only came to the temple to take a look, and then left.
After a while, Duan Xuanyu stopped in front of an antique stall.
He picked up a green-glazed porcelain pot and examined it closely. The body of the pot was engraved with lotus scrolls, and the spout was a small lion.
The stall owner was very honest, saying, " Hua Country don't cheat Hua Country. This is fake. It's from Panjiayuan. Foreigners would pay five million, but locals only need to pay five thousand."
Duan Xuanyu: "One hundred."
Boss: "Deal."
[Even 100 is too expensive...]
Why would Tyrant Bro buy this?! The shopkeeper already told you it's fake!
[Maybe we found a bargain?]
A highly renowned blogger in the antiques circle has also joined:
Authentic Treasure Appraisal v [It's obviously fake; the seller makes a meager profit of 90 yuan.]
[... Maybe Tyrant Bro is trying to scam foreigners?]
