◎Supreme Sucker No. 3 makes his dazzling entrance!◎

After hearing Song Shiwei's inner griping, Jiang Ye was so angry he laughed. Sometimes, he really did feel like going berserk.

He was an upstanding young man with impeccable roots and ten sterling virtues. After his romantic setbacks, he had finally pulled himself together and decided to work, only to find...

Did this damn world have some grudge against him?

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked at Jiang Ye worriedly. "Son, why don't you stay home and keep nursing your broken heart for now?"

Hearing Father Jiang and Mother Jiang say that, Song Shiwei burst out laughing, so loudly she might as well have climbed onto Jiang Ye's face and taken a shit.

But thinking of all Song Shiwei's inner commentary, he silently pulled back the foot that had been itching to kick. He didn't want to end up in a cell.

"I'll rest for a few more days," Jiang Ye said quietly. "Besides, I need to prepare for the film festival coming up in the next couple of days."

Song Shiwei's ears instantly pricked up. [Film festival? Is it the film festival I'm thinking of?]

Jiang Ye: ?

Wait, was the film festival coming to kill him too?

Then he really might as well stop living.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were also curious about what juicy gossip there was and casually began extending an olive branch. "Are you going to the Maple Forest International Film Festival?"

Jiang Ye nodded, likewise turning his gaze silently toward Song Shiwei.

Song Shiwei lifted her eyes, revealing a clear yet foolish gaze, while inwardly she was frantically feasting on gossip.

[Oh, that iconic showdown between the two female leads! You can tell it'll be a gossip bonanza. What do I do? I want to go watch too.]

[Wen Chuxue and Song Yurou battle for three hundred rounds on the red carpet. In the end, Song Yurou suffers a crushing defeat and blames everything on Leyao's design. Leyao's brand gets smeared for no reason, making her another one of the cannon-fodder sisters.]

[That dumbass Jiang Ye seems to be part of this gossip play too. The male and female leads are tangled up in love and hate in a little cubicle, while that big idiot paces around outside looking for Wen Chuxue, completely unaware they're doing this, that, and the other in there. When Jiang Ye sees her little love bites, he actually asks if there are mosquitoes, hahahahahahahahaha.]

The Jiang family, who had abruptly swallowed a huge mouthful of gossip: ?

Jiang Ye: ?

He really did seem to be that poor bastard. Were they determined to fleece him and him alone?

Jiang Ye was contemplating life when Jiang Chao returned.

He carried a small suitcase, wore a crisp suit, and also had a briefcase tucked in his hand. He strode up to the dining table, a gloomy cast to his delicate features. "Mom, Dad, I'm back."

"Jiang Chao, you're back?" Father Jiang and Mother Jiang hurriedly stood up and addressed him. "Why do you seem thinner lately? Have you been too busy with work to eat properly?"

Jiang Ye sniffed, a trace of dejection flashing through his eyes, and said impatiently from the side, "He's a grown man and still won't eat properly. I think he's deliberately making Mom and Dad worry."

Jiang Ye had never gotten along with Jiang Chao, even as a child. Why did he get so much care from Mom and Dad, while nothing Jiang Ye did could earn him any of their attention?

He gave a somewhat disdainful scoff. Jiang Chao just knew how to put on an act.

"Jiang Ye, can you keep your mouth shut for once?" Mother Jiang turned and snapped at him.

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't blame Second Brother, either. His tongue is just a little sharp. He doesn't actually mean any harm," Jiang Chao said timidly, his face pale.

Hearing Jiang Chao say that only made Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's hearts ache more. Mother Jiang even shot Jiang Ye a look, and Jiang Ye turned away indignantly.

Jiang Chao smiled at Father Jiang and Mother Jiang. A shadow flashed through his eyes before they quickly returned to normal. "Big Brother, I'm back."

"Mm. Sit down and eat. We didn't know you were coming back, so we didn't wait for you." Jiang Xun nodded, his expression showing little change.

Jiang Chao nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "And this is?"

He was asking about Song Shiwei, who was pretending to be invisible beside them while frantically flipping through the original novel.

[With a mighty boom from the heavens, the supreme sucker Jiang Chao makes his dazzling entrance.]

[Good grief, isn't this Jiang Xun's love-brained third brother? Is being love-brained hereditary in your family?]

[Wait, no, this kid isn't even their biological child. What's there to inherit?]

[This kid is the child of my parents-in-law's subordinate. They took him home when he was little and raised him as their own, putting even more care into him than their biological children.]

[Third Young Master, oh, Third Young Master, your rebelliousness truly has me prostrate in admiration. You're tall, rich, and handsome. Why on earth would you get into an online romance? An online romance would be one thing, but you even went for pure love. Little did you know, your online sweetheart was a scammer from the start, and later was even bought off by the male lead to carefully plot and bewitch you. Who knew you'd really dare to go that far? You actually turned against your own brothers to fight over the family fortune and drove Father Jiang to his grave with anger. And in the end, you went from a perfectly good life to being tricked into Northern Myanmar and having your kidneys cut out, didn't you?]

[You ungrateful wolf.]

As Song Shiwei feasted on the gossip, she couldn't help cursing him. The Jiang family abruptly shuddered, and the way they looked at Jiang Chao gradually changed.

Jiang Ye's gaze was particularly bewildered. What did she mean, not their biological child?

Here's the blurb for "The Villain Cub Raises His Mom Online":

Song Shiwei read a wish-fulfillment novel: a little child in a CEO novel was abused by his stepmother, awakened his Long Aotian bloodline after suffering inhuman treatment, reclaimed the family fortune, exacted revenge, and rebuilt a business empire.

Unfortunately, she was now that stepmother-the version whose husband had mysteriously disappeared and who had already gone mad.

Song Shiwei looked at the pitiful little bean by her feet and the family fortune that rivaled a nation's wealth. Promotion, riches, and a dead husband-and she had even become a mother without the pain!
