Chapter Seventeen: The Wicked Stepmother Who Abandoned the Twins (17)

"This wedding ring must be worth at least several million, right? The diamond looks so big." Wen Wan looked at the huge diamond, as big as a pigeon egg, that the groom had placed on the bride's hand.

The system replied, "Around 300,000."

Wen Wan: "This is unacceptable. It's too stingy. This is supposed to be a high-society wedding."

"Then at least some shares should be given to the daughter-in-law as a gift, right? After all, marrying such a beautiful daughter-in-law must be a blessing from ancestors."

[Shares are a very important thing; how could they be transferred so easily? This kind of plot is ridiculous and would be criticized by readers for being unrealistic.]

"No money, no shares, how could such a beautiful bride-to-be fall for this idiot?"

Mr. Liu's son inherited his father's looks perfectly: a beer belly, 1.7 meters tall, and a face full of acne, clearly indicating kidney deficiency.

"This is not high society at all."

[What does the host think it should be like?]

"Here is a hundred million. Please marry me. I will let you wake up with a kiss on an 800-meter bed. I will let you live in an ancient castle, where you can greet the magnificent sunrise over the sea every day. Something like that."

[As expected of you, a lifelong single. No wonder all the male protagonists in your stories can't find wives; they're all destined to be single.]

Wen Yan: "..."

The system should not allow personal attacks against her.

Wen Wan was ranting and raving when a young man walked over.

"According to the normal plot, this person would definitely come over and chat me up. His eyes have been on me ever since I entered the banquet."

"But he's not my type. He looks weak."

Wait until the man gets closer.

"Madam, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me? I know that what happened to President Gu must have made you very sad. Please accept my condolences. Life must go on."

Then he sat down on the sofa next to Wen Wan.

Wen Wan looked at the three-meter sofa, yet she insisted on sitting next to me; she clearly had ill intentions.

"Madam is becoming more and more beautiful."

"I heard that Madam has now inherited the Gu family business. That's really impressive."

As he spoke, his hand gently touched the back of Wen Wan's hand, carrying a hint of suggestion.

Wen Yan: "!!!"

Just talk, why resort to physical violence?

It suddenly moved several spaces to the side.

The man's face stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his smile.

"Madam hasn't come to see Xuxu for a long time. I thought Madam had grown tired of Xuxu."

"Still calling him Xuxu, still using reduplicated words, disgusting! How can a 1.8-meter-tall man be so greasy? Can't you give him a bottle of degreasing powder?"

System: [This person's name is Chen Xu, a third-tier idol with decent popularity.]

"He's an idol? What do his fans see in him? Is it because they can scrape off all the oil from his face and use it to cook? Or is it because they can touch him however they want?"

Wen Wan continued to complain, "Maybe he's just using too much beauty filters."

"Madam, did Xuxu do something wrong?" she said, brushing her greasy hair aside and then gently adjusting her collar.

Before the buttons were all fastened, half of her chest was quickly pulled down, revealing a lump of white flesh approaching her.

Wen Yan: "..."

My eyes!!!

Wen Wan stepped aside, saying, "Please have some self-respect. I have something to attend to and I'll be leaving now."

Chen Xu watched Wen Wan's departing figure, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Does this person look down on him?

As expected of a woman from a wealthy family, she's always fickle and easily bored. She even handed out business cards to herself not long ago.

Looking around at the people, Chen Xu quickly found his next target, then walked over with a charming smile.

"Holy crap, that scared me to death! This is sexual harassment, isn't it?" Wen Wan rolled her eyes as soon as she stepped out of the banquet hall.

[She probably wants to be a kept woman.]

"A canary? Someone like him? Look in the mirror!"

"What kind of taste does the original owner have? Every single one she's eyeing is greasy." She's having an affair with a lover she's planning to elope with, and then she's hooking up with some young heartthrob.

"Is this to inflate pork prices?"

Wen Wan went to the restroom, washed her hands, tidied her hair, and called Assistant Chen to explain that she had two children at home and needed to go back to take care of them.

The gift has been delivered.

There's no need to stay any longer.
