Also known as: After Breaking Up, My Rival is Bound to the Virtuous Husband System.
As a game engineer, the female lead, Pei Wu, was questioned by players for never having been in love. So, s...
Pei Wu and Shen Yu Nan arrived home quickly.
Throughout the journey, Pei Wu remained silent, looking preoccupied, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, her beautiful brows showing no sign of relaxing.
Actually, Shen Yu'nan, who was ordered to go home by Pei Wu, did not stay idle. Unable to resist the churning curiosity in his heart, he took the initiative to investigate the man that Pei Wu had mentioned knowing that afternoon.
Although their time together was short, noticing the man's resemblance to Cheng Tong and his numerous injuries made it easy to identify him. In just one afternoon, Shen Yu'nan learned that the man lying in the hospital bed was named Yan Chang.
As for the feud between Yan Chang and Dr. Sun Min, he also did some research.
Yan Chang is not a good person. Relying on his good family background, he bullied his classmates during his school days, engaging in fights, extorting protection money, and other acts of bullying. Dr. Sun Min was one of his long-term targets of bullying.
Dr. Sun Min was a rare bright student. She always wore thick glasses for nearsightedness. Because she was too smart, she seemed out of place with her peers. As a result, she could not make friends with her peers and rarely communicated with others, which made her seem quite aloof.
In addition, Sun Min's development was relatively late, and he was much shorter than his peers. Not to mention compared with girls of the same age, he was even a head shorter than Yan Chang, who was in the same grade.
The students the teachers liked became the targets of the bad students.
At school, Yan Chang not only encouraged the whole class to laugh at Sun Min's short stature and her thick-rimmed black glasses.
Outside of school, he even brought his cronies to beat up Sun Min, rob her of her allowance, and even made her bark like a dog before he was satisfied.
Sun Min, who was underdeveloped, had no chance to fight back. Even though he was beaten and covered in injuries, he had to grit his teeth and swallow his blood.
Because she had resisted, but the school was afraid of Yan Chang's mother's official power and dared not do anything about it, so they could only turn a blind eye and try to smooth things over.
Later, Yan Chang did not restrain himself after entering university. He continued to bully his classmates. However, the university was in the capital, not the city where he used to live. Even if his mother's influence reached far, it could not reach the capital. Therefore, he was expelled from the university before finishing his first year.
She didn't even manage to get a college degree, and later her mother was reported to the authorities, which led to the family's further decline.
I just don't know how Sun Min found Yan Chang and even tortured him like this.
Private investigators are quick and thorough in their investigations, but the information they provide doesn't include what Shen Yu Nan most wants to know.
He still didn't know how Pei Wu knew a man like Yan Chang.
Yan Chang had used up all his luck in his youth. After his mother was removed from power and imprisoned, and his father became involved with another woman, he lived a life of constant wandering. How could such a man have come to know Miss Pei?
Shen Yu Nan recalled the pleasantries they exchanged when they first met that afternoon; they seemed like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu'nan couldn't help but glance in Pei Wu's direction again.
Pei Wu was walking to the window to answer a phone call.
The person who called was Wei Guangmo, who was tossing and turning all night.
Wei Guangmo was using the hospital's phone, and in his hand was the business card that Pei Wu had left him before she left, which had Pei Wu's private phone number on it.
"It's me."
"Um."
Pei Wu had just arrived home and hadn't even had time to take off her coat when she received a call from Wei Guangmo. As usual, Pei Wu walked towards the window while answering the phone, and opened it a crack. She felt there was a stuffy smell in the room.
The night wind blew into the room through the open crack and onto Pei Wu's face. The events of the day had left Pei Wu's mind reeling, and the night wind helped her clear her head a little.
“Your newlywed husband…” Wei Guangmo on the other end of the phone paused slightly before continuing, “looks a lot like someone.”
Pei Wu had heard countless comments about Shao Sang resembling various people. Some said she looked like Gu Yanyu, others said she looked like Shen Yunan. After all, Shao Sang's appearance was indeed deliberately chosen by Sun Min to please the Pei family's young lady.
Pei Wu, who had been on edge because of Wei Guangmo's call, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She leaned against the window and pinched her brow.
However, Wei Guangmo, who has no memory of Yan Chang, is not a native of this game world. He should not know Gu Yanyu or... Shen Yu'nan.
Thinking of this, Pei Wu opened her eyes and asked.
Who does he look like?
"The company that collaborates with us is an entertainment company called Xili Media, and they have a male celebrity named Meng Qinsu."
Upon hearing this, Pei Wu suddenly became much more alert.
"Are you suspecting that he might also be someone from the real world?"
Pei Wu subconsciously lowered her voice. She knew in her heart that Shao Sang in front of her was just a robot. Since she could transmigrate into the body of the Pei family's young lady, it didn't seem like a fantasy that someone else could transmigrate into a robot.
After all, this is just a role-playing game.
"Yes. You should know very well that game players can choose the appearance of the character they are pursuing or their own appearance. And this 'Gu Qinsu' is indeed a partner of the company. It's no coincidence that his face appears in the game. The game system would never use a face that requires extra payment on an NPC."
"..." Pei Wu remained silent for a while, but her brows furrowed even more tightly.
She realized that the person she needed to win over from the beginning was Shen Yu Nan, who looked similar to this 'Meng Qin Su'.
Based on Pei Wu's experience, since it is a multiplayer game, the players involved will inevitably have interactions.
'But the people who have crossed paths with me and also possess that extra-charge face of "Meng Qinsu" aren't just Shen Yunan... there's also Gu Yanyu... and even Shao Sang right in front of me.'
"Awu? Are you listening?"
Seeing that Pei Wu was silent, Wei Guangmo called her again.
"I'm listening," Pei Wu replied quickly. "I'll come see you tomorrow, we can talk about the rest when we meet."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Wu stood by the window for a while. She opened the window a little more, and the evening breeze caressed her face and blew her long hair.
After a while, Shen Yu'nan walked to Pei Wu's side with a glass of water and said, "A-Wu, is something on your mind? You look like you're in a bad mood."
Pei Wu turned her head to look at Shao Sang, who was tilting his head and asking her seriously. She knew that compared to the other two, he was the person she had the most frequent contact with in this game.
