Qiao Yu glared at her unhappily, "You dare to curse again?!"

Tang Shu looked away; what bad luck.

Even though she is an omega and Qiao Yu is an alpha, how come they always seem to fall for the same person at the same time?

Tang Shu stared intently at Lu Shangyi's back. Although she already had a boyfriend, who could resist Lu Shangyi, a pitiful person with a tragic fate who needed protection but was beautiful and rich?

Lu Shangyi truly fits Qiao Yu's aesthetic. She subtly moved closer to Tang Shu, saying, "When she looked at me just now, I even thought of what to name our child."

Tang Shu turned around with a puzzled look on her face. "When did she look at you?"

Qiao Yu smiled without answering, and strode past Tang Shu, saying, "Get ready to attend my wedding tomorrow."

She walked towards Lu Shangyi. "I suddenly feel that staying here isn't such a bad thing." Qiao Yu said to the system in her heart, "Before, everyone could only see my money, but they couldn't see my beauty and personal charm. Back then, I longed so much to have a clean and pure love. I wished they simply liked me as a person."

The system's pretty girl was speechless: "..." This is the old Versailles.

Lu Shangyi rarely went out, and it was only after Madam Lu persuaded her for a long time that she finally agreed to come out for some fresh air. She didn't plan to stay here for long and intended to leave in a few minutes. She glanced at her watch; it was almost time.

Just as she was about to get up, a furtive figure popped out from the side and said, "Sister, wait a minute."

Lu Shangyi looked at the other person. They were short and petite, their bones so delicate they seemed fragile they would break at the slightest touch. Lu Shangyi didn't detect any repulsive pheromones from them. "Underage?"

Lu Shangyi had no interest in minors. She took a step to leave, but was grabbed by the other person. "You'll be an adult soon, so how about you get a gig, sister?"

Qiao Yu knew Lu Shangyi was beautiful, but she didn't expect her to be this beautiful up close.

Her skin was delicate and white, with a radiant glow. When those eyes, as clear as autumn water and seemingly unapproachable, swept over her, Qiao Yu's heart almost skipped a beat. Qiao Yu's attention was uncontrollably drawn to the other woman's figure. It was so close yet so far, leaving her mouth dry and her heart fluttering.

Noticing Lu Shangyi's sudden change in demeanor, Qiao Yu quickly suppressed the beastly thoughts in her mind and put on a well-behaved and harmless smile, "Sister, are you being playful?"

Lu Shangyi answered without hesitation, "No."

Having said that, he turned and left.

The system was worried about the host's feelings and was about to say a few words to comfort her, but Qiao Yu sighed and said, "As expected of the woman I have my eye on, she is so charming even when she rejects me."

system:"?"

Seeing that she had been turned away, Tang Shu couldn't help but gloat. "If Lu Shangyi were easy to pursue, she'd have kids running all over the place by now. Over the years, countless people have come to the Lu family to propose marriage, but not a single one has ever succeeded." Tang Shu felt much more at ease. "Besides, all her suitors are either rich or powerful. If she doesn't even like those people, why would she like you?"

Qiao Yu didn't react at all. Tang couldn't help but glance at her sideways, frowning, "Are you even listening to me?"

“Yes,” Qiao Yu smiled, “but I’m different from them.”

Money makes the world go round, and with enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle. She didn't believe that by using both methods, Lu Shangyi could still get rid of this clingy pest.

Qiao Yu rubbed her hands together, wishing she could fly home right now to take stock of her assets. After taking a step forward with her left foot, she pulled it back. "Darling, don't forget what you promised me."

Tang Shu immediately snorted coldly, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I'm not like you, who doesn't keep his promises."

Qiao Yu was relieved. "Then take it easy and have fun tonight." She raised an eyebrow meaningfully and glanced at the group of alphas she had carefully prepared for Tang Shu. Tang Shu's eyelids twitched, but Qiao Yu had already slipped away, so she could only suppress her anger.

Why did she have to run into someone like Qiao Yu in her life?

Although she hated Qiao Yu to the core, Tang Shu quickly took care of the matter for Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu was the most pampered child in the family, and her family almost always granted her every wish. It was simply a matter of choosing a spokesperson, and President Tang agreed to her beloved daughter's request after only a moment's thought.

Compared to offending the Lu family, my precious daughter's happiness is of course the most important thing.

Qiao Yu smiled broadly as she looked at the asset list compiled by the housekeeper. No wonder she was the female lead's cannon fodder ex-wife; her family's wealth was truly more than the leaves on a tree. But that wasn't enough. To win over Lu Shangyi, she'd have to become the richest person in the country, at the very least.

Just then, Meng'e called, "Yuyu, you didn't have a conflict with Tang Shu, did you?"

"How could that be!" Qiao Yu exclaimed indignantly. "Do you really think I'm such a childish and unreasonable person?"

"No, that's not it." Meng E breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced cautiously at Jiang Mei, who had no expression. "It's just that I heard there were more than a dozen hot A-list women here today."

Jiang Mei tried hard to remain calm, but her slightly perked-up ears betrayed her thoughts. Meng E wanted to laugh but dared not. Jiang Mei clearly cared about Yu Yu, yet she always pretended to be indifferent, which was really frustrating to watch.

The two of them used to get along so well, I wonder what exactly happened that night.

But this is none of her business. Meng E cleared her throat and said, "You must not let their beauty cloud your judgment."

Meng E had known Qiao Yu for two or three years and knew that Qiao Yu had a particular taste for this kind of thing, so she didn't blame Jiang Mei for being worried. If it were her, she would probably have locked her up immediately. How could she let the other person swagger around outside and flirt with other women?

The phone suddenly went silent, and Jiang Mei's heart jumped into her throat. After a while, Qiao Yu's extremely excited voice finally came through the phone again, "If they weren't good-looking, I wouldn't have been interested in them. What I'm after is their beauty."

Jiang Mei's heart sank to the bottom. Sensing the sudden chill in the air behind her, Meng E couldn't help but shiver. "Yu Yu, you wouldn't..."

"You're not even an adult yet and you're already acting recklessly?"

Qiao Yu looked puzzled. "What are you talking about? Those hot girls were a birthday present I gave to Tang Shu."

Meng E and Jiang Mei both breathed a sigh of relief, but then they heard the person on the phone say, "I have someone I like now, so don't accuse me of something and ruin my reputation so I can't get a wife."

Jiang Mei was startled, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused. Did she have someone she liked?

Meng E's hand tightened around the phone. No way, no way?! She wanted to comfort Jiang Mei, but didn't know how to start. Watching Jiang Mei turn away dejectedly, Meng E scratched her head and hung up Qiao Yu's phone. "Um," Meng E tried to defend Qiao Yu, "there must be some misunderstanding."

Jiang Mei chuckled, "Thank you."

But Meng E can't even deceive herself, so how could she deceive herself?

Qiao Yu has someone she likes, and that person must be Song Wanzi.

Song Wanzi's team had made ample preparations; press releases and online trolls were already in place. The entire team was ready to strike at the slightest move from the competitor, determined to secure the Tang family's endorsement. However, just as her agent had everything in place, she received an email from the Tang family.

Staring at the computer screen with a look of utter disbelief, the agent couldn't help but mutter, "How is this possible?"

Song Wanzi turned her head slightly, "What's wrong, sister?"

The agent couldn't help but take off her glasses and rub her eyes. After confirming that she wasn't seeing things, she looked up blankly and said, "The endorsement deal is in hand."

Song Wanzi: "?"

Even after arranging a contract signing time with Tang's contact person, the agent was still somewhat incredulous. How could the endorsement have fallen into Song Wanzi's hands so easily? Just moments before, a senior executive of Tang's had subtly hinted to them that the company preferred Chu Mi.

Chu Mi is a rising star who has emerged in the last two years. After debuting under the banner of "Little Song Wanzi," she constantly piggybacked on Song Wanzi's popularity to secure scripts and endorsements, which really annoyed her team for a while. Chu Mi is extremely shameless. While claiming to be a fan of Song Wanzi everywhere, she ruthlessly leeches off Song Wanzi. It's rumored that she recently hooked up with a wealthy patron from Tang's Group, preparing to interfere and steal the endorsement that Song Wanzi had already secured.

As the saying goes, "Everyone fights for their pride, and even Buddha receives a stick of incense," the team was determined not to let Chu Mi get the endorsement, so they prepared for a long battle with Chu Mi.

But this?

It ended before they even started fighting for it?

Could it be that Chu Mi's sugar daddy is a fan of Song Wanzi? Or is Chu Mi's sugar daddy's arch-enemy a fan of Song Wanzi?

Compared to her conflicted manager, Song Wanzi remained calm, simply telling her manager to inquire before offering any further response. The manager, sensing something was amiss, exhausted all her connections within the industry, only to be further perplexed by the results.

"Wanzi, do you know the Tang family's daughter?"

Song Wanzi slowly broke off the cigarette butt, then raised her delicate, plain face and said, "I don't know her."

That's strange.

The Tang family's daughter? Song Wanzi opened the social media app, and the first post on the other person's profile was a group birthday photo. Song Wanzi narrowed her eyes, unexpectedly spotting a familiar face with an extremely bright smile. She pointed a slender white finger at Qiao Yu, "This person?"

The agent immediately understood and, after asking around, quickly replied, "This is Tang Shu's childhood friend, and Qiao Yu, the beloved daughter of Qiao Jinghuai from the Qiao family in western Beijing."

No wonder.

Thinking of that girl who seemed alluring but lacked the courage to act on her desires that day, Song Wanzi couldn't help but chuckle softly. "It's alright then, she got the endorsement for me."

"And that previous list, she also spent two million to get me on it."

The agent was taken aback and subconsciously raised her voice, "Wanzi, you can't do anything foolish! You're a rising star, and every move you make is under the intense scrutiny of the entire nation. If it's exposed that you're dating a minor, your career will be ruined!"
