Chapter 13
Gu Ting’s resentful expression truly left Qiu Chi speechless. “It’s been so long, and your brain still hasn’t healed?”
Lu Mingxuan was also at a loss for words. “If I recall correctly, isn’t today President Gu’s wedding to Miss Su Yingying? Looking at you, President Gu, anyone who didn’t know better would think Miss Su Yingying cheated on you.”
Their back-to-back comments made Gu Ting’s already grim face darken even further.
Meanwhile, the photos Qiu Chi had released were now fermenting wildly online.
By the time Liu Yuer’s team received the news, the photos hadn’t quite spread everywhere, but they had already reached a considerable scale.
The moment Liu Yuer saw the pictures, she was certain Qiu Chi had released them. She had posted the video meant to brand Qiu Chi as a homewrecker, but since Qiu Chi was a nobody, no one paid it any attention.
In comparison, people were far more interested in those photos.
With no other choice, Liu Yuer could only call Lu Mingxuan.
“Brother Lu, Brother Lu, please help me, sob, sob… Those photos are fake, they’re slander! It must be Qiu Chi, she must have been the one who released them, sob, sob…”
Over the phone, Liu Yuer cried a river of tears, shamelessly pushing all the blame onto Qiu Chi.
Lu Mingxuan immediately thought of the photos in his email. He had wanted to deal with them right away, but he couldn’t get in touch with anyone.
No matter what, Liu Yuer was his white moonlight’s sister. He stood up at once, intending to go and handle the matter of the photos.
As he rose, Qiu Chi struck him on the neck, knocking him out cold and leaving him slumped in his chair.
She took the phone he hadn’t hung up yet and said, “Don’t even think about it. He won’t be helping you.”
With that, she hung up and continued to wait for the wedding to proceed.
【I thought you had let Lu Mingxuan off the hook.】
“I didn’t really do anything to him. I just stopped him from going to solve someone else’s problems.”
System: 【…】 And that’s your reason for knocking him out?
Gu Ting, who had been keeping an eye on Qiu Chi, was stunned by her actions.
Although his face and leg had clearly healed, they seemed to ache with a phantom pain.
Even though Lu Mingxuan was unconscious, it didn’t affect the wedding ceremony.
Gu Ting stood on the stage, waiting as Su Zhengxing escorted Su Yingying down the long red carpet and placed her hand in his.
Qiu Chi remained quiet the entire time.
It wasn’t until they were about to exchange rings that she withdrew that wisp of spiritual energy from Su Yingying’s body.
Su Yingying, whose cheeks had been rosy just a moment ago, suddenly looked terribly unwell. Even through the thick makeup, her pale face was visible.
Her hand, holding the ring, trembled. Finally, the ring slipped from her grasp, and Su Yingying fainted on the spot.
Amidst the panicked crowd, Qiu Chi quietly departed.
Outside the hotel, Qiu Chi raised an eyebrow. “The plot is finished. Where’s my reward?”
【First, go jump into the sea. I’ll calculate your plot completion rate for you.】
While taking a taxi to the seaside, Qiu Chi didn’t forget to check her phone for updates on the photo incident.
Without Lu Mingxuan’s intervention, the photos’ popularity soared higher and higher.
Even if Liu Yuer’s team wanted to delete them, they couldn’t keep up.
Meanwhile, the video Liu Yuer had released was wiped completely clean.
Liu Yuer tried to claim it was slander.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuming’s side moved with lightning speed.
【Fang Yuming Studio V: Yuming and Teacher Liu were originally a couple. These things are very normal between consenting adults. Yuming is also very surprised about the photos…】
Fang Yuming’s team directly admitted the photos were real but claimed to be unaware of the specifics, stating he had never taken them. He cleanly shifted the blame, completely shutting down any attempt by Liu Yuer’s side to claim the photos were photoshopped or fake.
Liu Yuer was about to die from anger. “Fang Yuming, why the hell would you do this? Do you really think people will admire your physique? They’ll just see you as a joke!”
Compared to Liu Yuer’s fury, Fang Yuming was much calmer. He snorted coldly, “You can only blame yourself. Don’t think I don’t know what that video was about. It’s normal for couples to be intimate, but trying to pin the label of a scumbag on me? Not a chance!”
While the two were at each other’s throats, Qiu Chi had already arrived at the seaside. She walked directly toward the deep water, and then her figure vanished completely.
Qiu Chi surveyed the blank room and said directly, “My reward?”
【Coming, coming, don’t rush me.】
【Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your plot completion rate is 60%, a passing grade. Your reward will be distributed immediately.】
As the System finished speaking, Qiu Chi felt two unfamiliar auras appear within her body. She carefully sensed them. One seemed to be a gift of gratitude from Su An'an, and the other…
Qiu Chi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
The System said smugly: 【How about it? Did you feel the gift from the heroine? Once you accumulate enough, you can ascend to immortality. Doesn’t that make you want to do more tasks right away? And this is just because you didn’t follow the plot properly. If your completion rate was as high as 90%, the gift would be even greater.】
The more the System spoke, the more pleased with itself it became. However, it only mentioned the heroine’s gift and said nothing about the other aura.
Qiu Chi guessed the System didn’t know about it, so she didn’t say anything either, simply stating, “Let’s go to the next world, then.”
Su An'an’s gift was negligible to her, but the other aura was useful.
After Qiu Chi left, Su Yingying’s body, which already needed a kidney transplant, deteriorated further. She was in urgent need of a kidney, but a suitable one couldn’t be found on such short notice. Even with all the Gu and Su families’ money, there was nothing they could do.
At this point, they thought of Su An'an again, but Su An'an no longer existed in this world. Su Yingying’s health failed too quickly, and she died before a suitable kidney could be found.
Gu Ting grieved for a while, but life had to go on. He certainly couldn’t remain alone forever.
So he found another woman, only to make a horrifying discovery—he was impotent!
Because of the photos, Liu Yuer could no longer make it in the entertainment industry.
Fang Yuming wanted to continue his career, but there was no way Liu Yuer would let him off that easily.
Feeling guilty for not being able to help Liu Yuer, Lu Mingxuan naturally blacklisted Fang Yuming. Even when Fang Yuming found other rich sugar mommas, Lu Mingxuan didn’t stop suppressing him. Of course, the sugar mommas Fang Yuming found wouldn’t offend Lu Mingxuan for his sake. In the end, Fang Yuming’s career was utterly ruined.
If there was one person Liu Yuer hated most, it was naturally Qiu Chi. But Qiu Chi had long since vanished, leaving her with no target for her revenge.
Moreover, her suffering was not yet over.
After helping Liu Yuer, Lu Mingxuan told her directly, “I’ve helped you enough over the years, but I can’t help you forever. Shu’er has been gone for several years now. It’s time for me to have my own life.”
Liu Yuer was stunned. “Brother Lu, you… what do you mean by that?”
“It means I’ve agreed to a family alliance through marriage. You can go abroad or stay in the country, it’s up to you. There are twenty million in this card. Take it, and don’t look for me again from now on.”
Liu Yuer couldn’t accept this reality, but when Lu Mingxuan was cold, he was truly cold, giving her no chance to pester him.
Unwilling to give up, Liu Yuer tried to entangle herself with him again, but Lu Mingxuan quickly went through with the marriage alliance. The woman he married was no pushover either; she made sure Liu Yuer never had another opportunity to see Lu Mingxuan.
Instead, she had people remove Liu Yuer from S City directly. Afterward, she gently caressed her own belly, her gaze soft.
