Chapter 17: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
The plot is starting to fall apart, and she can no longer fully portray the villainous female supporting character according to the novel's storyline.
She needs to maintain her public image.
Knowing that Yan Chen had woken up, she should have tried to salvage the situation and not let Lu Miaomiao have the chance.
So ever since she learned that Yan Chen had woken up, she has been sending him messages every day, showing all sorts of concern, but Yan Chen has never replied.
She felt she should be in a hurry, so she made a call, but she was certain Yan Chen wouldn't answer.
The fact that Yan Chen hadn't replied to any of the numerous messages she'd sent was enough to demonstrate his attitude towards her, his ex-fiancée who had abandoned him so easily.
Just like in the novel, before she targeted Lu Miaomiao, Yan Chen didn't bother with her.
But to everyone's surprise, he answered her call.
After answering, he just gave a cold laugh and hung up.
Yun Qing couldn't quite figure out what he was thinking.
She tried to analyze his sneer using a pie chart, which should be:
Three parts mockery—mocking her for lacking self-awareness.
Three parts coldness—he would never show her the slightest pity again.
Three parts pleasure—Lu Yunqing, do you regret it?
A single grudge—this domineering CEO will make you regret it for the rest of your life to atone for your sins!
Thinking about it, Yun Qing laughed so hard she fell onto the bed and rolled around twice.
Judging from the looks of it, Yan Chen seems to have recovered quite well; at least his cold laugh didn't sound weak.
*
Lu Miaomiao originally thought that Madam Yan would stand up for her, but after Madam Yan went to see Yan Chen, she told her that she wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter.
Lu Miaomiao found it laughable!
She originally thought Madam Yan was a very good person, but she never expected her to turn on her like that.
When she was needed for a marriage to bring good luck, she was treated very well. Now that Yan Chen has woken up, and seeing that he is unwilling to take responsibility, she immediately wants to strip him of his status as Yan Chen's wife.
It sounds nice to call her a goddaughter, but it's really just a fig leaf to cover up his shamelessness.
Lu Miaomiao harbored resentment, but after careful consideration, she still agreed.
She knew very well that she was all alone and had no way to fight against the Yan family.
If she continues to pester him, she might not even be able to see Yan Chen again, so how will she improve her luck value?
In that case, it would be better to just go along with Madam Yan's wishes.
Although her special ability is to share the same luck as her husband, who says that sworn siblings can't get married?
She'll win Yan Chen over sooner or later!
Madam Yan acted swiftly. She wasn't so concerned about the ceremony; what mattered was making it a grand affair so that everyone would know Lu Miaomiao was her goddaughter.
Before the old man returned, all the banquet invitations had been sent out.
By then, it will be too late for the old man to cause trouble, unless he wants to make the Yan family lose all face.
When Yun Qing learned that Madam Yan wanted to adopt Lu Miaomiao as her goddaughter, she was completely stunned.
What kind of operation is this?! How far has the plot gone wrong?!
While Yun Qing was troubled, she continued to show concern for Yan Chen.
She had figured out that Yan Chen would never reply to her messages, but he would always answer her calls, though he would hang up quickly without saying a word to her, though he would give her a chance to say a few words.
She didn't know what Yan Chen was thinking, but the two of them maintained contact in this strange way.
During this time, the old master of the Yan family also returned with Yan Xiu.
When Yun Qing heard Lu Quanyuan and Lu Shaoan talking about Yan Xiu, she felt somewhat comforted.
At least the male supporting character didn't have any problems; in the novel, the male supporting character also returned to China around this time.
But then I remembered that in the novel, the male supporting character returned to the country at this time, and Yan Chen was still asleep.
Yan Mingxuan was also overcome by grief, exhaustion, and anger, and his body could not hold up, so he soon collapsed, which shows that he has great potential.
By the time Yan Chen woke up, he already possessed the strength to compete with Yan Chen.
But Yan Chen has already woken up!
So, will the plot of the male lead and the male supporting character fighting for the family fortune also fall apart?
Thinking about it, Yun Qing felt terrible.
[System, what's wrong with us?!]
The system innocently stated that it didn't know either, and simply told her to maintain her persona and observe further.
Yun Qing had no other choice but to do this.
She still doesn't know what she did wrong, and how the plot has snowballed and gotten worse.
*
The banquet at the Yan family was very lively. Although Yan Chen had not fully recovered, he was already able to move around freely.
Madam Yan was worried about his health and wanted him to rest well and not worry about the banquet.
She wasn't worried at all that Yan Xiu would steal Yan Chen's thunder.
If Yan Chen hadn't woken up, there might have been a chance, but now that Yan Chen has woken up, Yan Xiu is just a joke.
Even if Yan Chen doesn't show his face, he still outshines Yan Xiu.
However, Yan Chen insisted on participating.
Madam Yan could only tell him not to push himself too hard and to rest when he was tired, and then she went off to do her work.
When Yan Chen saw Yun Qing at the banquet, he was not surprised at all.
Lu Miaomiao is the daughter of the Lu family. Madam Yan wanted to recognize her as her goddaughter and held such a grand ceremony, so it was impossible for the Lu family not to attend.
However, he only glanced at her before looking away, showing no intention of paying any attention to Yun Qing.
On the contrary, Yun Qing saw him and immediately came over.
“Yan Chen…”
She reached out to take Yan Chen's hand, but Yan Chen immediately took a step back to avoid it, and said coldly, "I am your brother-in-law."
He emphasized the word "brother-in-law" heavily, as if he were challenging someone.
After saying that, he turned and walked away to a secluded spot, seemingly not wanting to talk to Yun Qing.
Yun Qing followed him closely, asking pitifully, "Have you fallen for Lu Miaomiao?"
Yan Chen ignored her and walked faster and faster.
Yan Chen was already tall with long legs and a long stride, and Yun Qing couldn't walk fast because of her dress. Seeing that she couldn't keep up with him, she called out in a pitiful voice, "Yan Chen... wait for me..."
Seeing that Yan Chen remained unmoved, Yun Qing prepared to feign a white lotus ankle sprain.
This is a scene from the story where Lu Yunqing was entangled with Yan Chen. Although the location and time are not quite right, isn't this a deviation in the plot?
She started pursuing Yan Chen earlier than planned, and now is the perfect time to end this storyline.
Yun Qing exclaimed in surprise, and was about to fall to the ground, but surprisingly she did not fall!
Yun Qing threw herself into Yan Chen's arms, looking completely bewildered.
What just happened?
The system kindly explained for her: "Just now, Yan Chen suddenly turned around and hugged you tightly."
Yun Qing: ...
[So I fell to the ground, but couldn't even get Yan Chen to turn around. The tragic and heartbreaking plot collapsed?]
【Yes. 】
Yun Qing: !!!
So, what exactly did she do wrong? Why did things turn out this way?
If things continue like this, won't the little world collapse anyway? Will her reward also disappear without a trace?
Before she could think any further, Yan Chen had already pushed her away and walked away coldly without looking back.
