Chapter 9
Mrs. Jiang was a little suspicious and was just about to ask when, unexpectedly, the car arrived at the Jiang family's underground garage.
Song Shiwei had already hopped out of the car and skipped around to open the door for her.
Mr. Jiang happened to have finished his work and returned to the garage as well. He immediately walked over to them and, almost instinctively, reached out to shield her head, leaving Mrs. Jiang no choice but to get out first.
She could slowly figure those things out later. Right now, she had to find out why she could hear Song Shiwei's thoughts, and whether everyone in their family could hear them too.
The three walked one behind another when a girl in a plain dress suddenly rushed out from the estate's entrance. She dropped to her knees with a thud. "Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, please stop making things difficult for Jiang Ye. We truly love each other. We only want to be together."
Standing behind her parents-in-law, Song Shiwei's thoughts raced-
[Whoa, isn't this the female lead that blind, brainless second young master of the Jiang family just met? His head has nothing in it but a love brain!]
At the sight before her, Song Shiwei hurriedly flipped open her Gossip Compendium!
[Whoa, whoa, whoa, what juicy gossip! A love brain, all right! Not a single one can be spared. Kill them all!]
[This scene should be part of the story about this world's second leading couple. What was the novel called? "Chasing Love Among the Wealthy: Young Master Huo, Make It Hurt Less"??? Whoa, whoa, whoa, what a title ahead of its time.]
[This novel also fills this world's childhood-friends-reuniting-after-a-breakup slot. The leads spend ten thousand years breaking up and getting back together in every way imaginable, successfully stringing along a few dumb-dog male and female supporting characters who hand over people, money, and their lives.]
[The overall plot is pretty much the same as those wife-chasing crematorium novels. There has to be a vicious female supporting character and a devoted male supporting character, with basin after basin of dog blood splashed everywhere. The leads torment each other within an inch of their lives for a hundred rounds while stringing the supporting characters along. The supporting characters all turn dark for no reason, and the leads finally join forces to wipe them out, ending with a happy-ever-after reunion.]
Song Shiwei had read plenty of novels like that, but she had never expected that the novel's biggest sucker, its devoted second male lead, would actually be her husband's younger brother-her own brother-in-law by marriage?
[This idiot of a second male lead not only breaks with his family to be with the female lead and moves out as soon as they get together, but later even sacrifices his own thriving acting career in exchange for hers, and even helps her steal his family's secrets???]
Then the leads launch into their childhood-friends crematorium arc. The male lead and his daughter run into his old flame at a banquet, and when he sees the child beside the female lead, he goes crazy! The child looks practically cast from the same mold as him. This has to be his child. After they act out a scene of her fleeing, him chasing, and him being unable to escape even with wings in a private room at the banquet, the female lead admits that the child is his. Just like that, the second male lead's green hat is exposed.]
[After tormenting each other back and forth, the two naturally get together, use the Jiang family's secrets to deal them a devastating blow, and successfully drag them off their pedestal. Later, they even team up with a mysterious person to trick Jiang Ye into transferring his shares, and this love brain actually does it???]
[Naturally, the love brain's final fate is to die without an intact corpse. After he's caught helping the female lead steal business secrets, Jiang Ye voluntarily takes the blame and gets sent to prison to work the sewing machines. He gets beaten half to death in prison but still thinks of nothing but the female lead. After getting out, this damned love brain finds a job digging up wild vegetables, and somehow miraculously runs into the female lead while she's filming a variety show. In the end, they smile away their grudges, and Jiang Ye even gives her the wild vegetables he dug up. Afraid he'll keep pestering her, the female lead stages an assassination attempt. This love brain turns around to protect her and her child, then collapses in a pool of blood. And he's gone...]
Song Shiwei nearly choked on the plot-
[??? What kind of dogshit plot is this? Even Wang Baochuan wasn't as much of a love brain as you. Jiang Ye, you deserve it.]
[Let me see how far the plot has gotten now.]
[Whoa, the female lead is fighting with the fallen wealthy male lead about breaking up. The male lead is forced into an arranged marriage with the female supporting character, but he's actually only putting on an act to seize her family's assets. The female lead believes it, leaves in heartbreak, and finds my love-brained second brother-in-law to pour her heart out. His love brain gets carried away, and they get together at lightning speed. Naturally, his family objects, so our female lead begins her performance, and then...]
Song Shiwei was chattering away inside her head, feasting on gossip, when she suddenly paused.
[Oh no, Mother-in-law, whatever you do, don't scold the female lead. That love-brained son of yours is rushing over here right now. If he sees you laying a hand on his precious sweetheart, won't he fight you to the death?]
Chapter 9: Chapter 9
◎She's pregnant, obviously. Love brain, don't tell me you think she simply ate too much?◎
Song Shiwei had stuffed herself with gossip that evening and was heading home looking delighted. She had never expected to walk through the door and see this scene.
Wen Chuxue was now sitting primly on the sofa in the Jiang family's living room, pressed right up against Jiang Ye and looking on the verge of tears.
Every gossip-sensing nerve in Song Shiwei's body immediately sounded the alarm.
Standing behind her parents-in-law, Song Shiwei's thoughts raced-
[Whoa, isn't this the female lead that blind, brainless second young master of the Jiang family just met? His head has nothing in it but a love brain!]
