Song Shiwei jolted at her words. "Where did this saint come from? Why don't you wash your hair upside down for him?"

"If you don't, I'll say you don't honor your agreements and can't take a loss."

[I'm a mentally unstable college girl. Trying to morally blackmail me? I don't even have morals.]

Zhang Lexuan: !

Zhang Leyao and Mrs. Jiang silently held each other up, laughing until their stomachs hurt. President Liu kept exclaiming in amazement beside them. Sure enough, it took Song Shiwei to handle Song Yurou.

"No, I mean your attitude needs to..." Song Yurou said weakly.

Song Shiwei shrugged and smiled. "So you can't take a loss."

Song Yurou: ...

How had that idiot Song Shiwei gotten so sharp-tongued? She was furious. Song Shiwei had ruined her plans several times now. One day, she would make her pay more than she could bear.

As Zhang Lexuan washed his hair upside down, Zhang Leyao, Song Shiwei, and the others all pulled out their phones without prior agreement, filming him from every angle without a single blind spot.

[Dark history, dark history. Record every last bit of it. This will all be his dark history someday.] [

[Zhang Lexuan, you've got water in your brain...]

Bombarded by Song Shiwei from every direction, Zhang Lexuan's heart turned to dead ashes. Just what he would expect of her-a college student who would never stop being a menace.

Zhang Leyao and Mrs. Jiang laughed unrestrainedly beside them.

Once President Liu had eaten his fill of gossip, he finally remembered that he was at the center of some gossip himself. He took a deep breath and quickly pulled a business card from his pocket. "Miss Song, here's my business card. If you'd like to sell these rough stones, I can buy them at a high price as a thank-you."

Song Shiwei: ???

[Thank me?]

"Oh, and once I have some free time, I'll visit to thank you in person. I have some family matters to deal with right now, so I'll be heading out first," President Liu said, all smiles.

[Could he know that his good buddy and his wife are getting ready to steal those top-grade, collector-quality gems from his house? He should still make it if he rushes back now,] Song Shiwei said silently to herself.

President Liu: !!!

Good grief, hurry! He had to go home now. Right now, immediately, this instant. He couldn't afford even a moment's delay.

But Song Yurou just had to make her presence known. "Hello, President Liu. I'm Song Yurou. It's a pleasure to meet you. If your company..."

Song Yurou had been trying to secure an endorsement deal for President Liu's jewelry brand, but she had only met with merciless rejections. Now that he was standing right in front of her, she had to seize the opportunity.

She smiled with innocent sweetness, her face warped by the effort of putting on a show.

President Liu gave the young woman before him a suspicious look. "Who are you? Don't block my way. I'm in a hurry. Contact my assistant if you need anything."

Just like that, Song Yurou was ruthlessly pushed aside. Had her

everyone's darling

halo stopped working?

Standing to one side, Song Shiwei clicked her tongue softly. [He's rushing home to save his treasures. Try making your presence known at a time like this, and I'd fight you to the death.]

The others all nodded in agreement. Even Zhang Lexuan, still washing his hair upside down, nodded, lost his balance, and plunged headfirst into the water.

Song Shiwei nearly died laughing. Song Yurou stood to one side, gritting her teeth before leaving the scene resentfully.

Song Shiwei blinked, then glanced at Song Yurou storming out. [Huh? Leaving already? Why not stay and watch Zhang Lexuan wash his hair upside down? What a sight.]

Everyone nearly died laughing, while Zhang Lexuan glared at Song Shiwei, his face puffed up in anger. Song Shiwei certainly knew how to get under someone's skin.

Song Shiwei was delighted. She hadn't expected to enjoy some gossip today and somehow have money thrust into her hands, too.

Holding her valuable pieces of rough jadeite, she thought happily-[I'll divide these stones up in a bit!]

Mrs. Jiang sat beside Song Shiwei, looking dignified and serene, but inwardly she was intensely curious about how Song Shiwei would divide them. The next second, she heard Song Shiwei's thoughts-

[One for Mother-in-law, one for me. One for Father-in-law, one for me. One for Hubby, one for... huh? None left? Then give me Mother-in-law's! Now that I've taken Mother-in-law's, surely Father-in-law doesn't like this stuff either. If neither of his parents takes any, how could Hubby have the nerve to? All mine!!]

Mrs. Jiang had just been about to feel touched when Song Shiwei abruptly shattered her composure. This was even more shameless than Liu Xing dividing up a flatbread.

[I'd better keep more for myself. If the Jiang Family really does fall, I'll need some money to run away. Oh, no, wait, I'm taking Mother-in-law with me.]

[Who could understand? The Jiang Family is the richest family around, yet they're all villains, and each one's ending is worse than the last.]

[Tragic. Just too tragic. The word "tragic" alone couldn't begin to describe it.]

Song Shiwei silently grumbled to herself, while a chill had already crept down Mrs. Jiang's back beside her.

The Jiang Family would fall? Their endings would each be worse than the last?

Mrs. Jiang couldn't imagine such a calamity befalling her family out of nowhere. After everything that had happened tonight, she already fully believed in the truth of Song Shiwei's thoughts, so hearing about her own family now sent an even deeper chill down her back.

She grabbed Song Shiwei's hand. "Weiwei? If anything happens in the future, you must tell Mom, all right?"

"All right, Mom." Utterly confused, Song Shiwei nodded blankly.

[Who could understand? Mother-in-law is so caring and gentle. Just thinking about such a wonderful mother-in-law being angered to death by the female lead and that stupid dog of a second young master makes me want to kill someone!!]

Mrs. Jiang: ?

What was that? Angered to death???

By her own son, no less?

Although her second son seemed like a reckless scoundrel and wasn't particularly close to the family, insisting on making his way in the entertainment industry, she had heard a while ago that he was dating someone and had even moved out over it.

But the children of the Jiang Family had been taught propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame from an early age, to honor their teachers and respect their teachings, and to respect their parents. She couldn't believe her son would truly do something that would anger her to death.
