Chapter 51 You Forced Me to Do This! [VIP]
The wedding date was ultimately set for the day after New Year's Day.
The news, released along with the clarification, quickly caused a huge uproar online.
Of course, the denial did not reveal that Qin Yuzhen was impotent, and as someone who had personally experienced whether Qin Yuzhen was impotent or not, Ziyu naturally knew that this was complete nonsense.
Therefore, the final explanation is that those photos were artistic portraits taken by Qin Yuzhen to fulfill his friend Lin Keyi's pursuit of art.
Of course, whether anyone believes this is another matter.
After all, the truth always seems unbelievable.
The person who spread the rumors was quickly caught.
He is a marketing account that gains traffic by posting various things online that can generate discussion. According to him, he dug up these messages from various corners and posted them in a mixed manner, never expecting that they would turn out like this by accident.
Once these words were spoken, coupled with the police's confirmation, even if others felt something was wrong, they could only suppress their thoughts and stubbornly say that who knows what will happen to Qinyu Town in the future.

In the month following the engagement party, Ziyu fully embraced the carefree, idle life he had always dreamed of.
If she wants food or drinks, she can just reach out and someone will deliver them. If she wants entertainment, she can swipe her card and buy whatever she wants—but even so, Yu can't change her stingy nature. She still has to be picky and compare prices before buying anything. Even the scumbag who used to be the most difficult to please has now become obedient and well-behaved, looking like he's deeply immersed in a happy life.
If it weren't for the fact that the rumor had affected the Qin Group to some extent, Qin Yuzhen might have stayed with Ziyu for the past three months.
After all, for Qin Yuzhen, his father's opposition was nothing to fear. The one who truly managed the household was his mother, and last year, she had already transferred all her shares to him.
If he really wanted to be with Ziyu, no one could stop him.
Ziyu had nothing to say about this.
After all, the submissive character he played longed to be with Qin Yuzhen forever, and with the opportunity to get married right in front of him, how could the submissive character possibly refuse?
Ziyu rolled over in bed, his brows furrowed deeply.
The main system is still very good; it changed the task of following the storyline to conquer the scumbag protagonist to simply completing the crematorium.
But why is that?
Ziyu didn't think this was some kind of windfall; he only felt that there was something deeper being kept from him.
Does he think he's already successfully won over the scumbag protagonist...? Or is it simply to fix Mingyu's rebirth bug?
Something seems off about this game world in this first playthrough.
The scumbag protagonist's character has completely collapsed, so why isn't the main system reacting at all?
Moreover, Tang Zuo, who is the second person to pursue, is someone I haven't had any plot interactions with in this playthrough, yet he always seems to be deeply in love with me. Why is that?
Why is Bai Yueguang involved with Tang Zuo?
Could Mingyu's rebirth be related to other people as well?
Why was Lin Keyi's dying wish to have Qin Yuzhen take those kinds of cheating photos?
Ziyu's head hurts a little.
He rolled over in bed again.
Assuming he ignores all these amiss and only focuses on his current performance targets...
How can he stop the wedding and get Qin Yuzhen to marry Xia Xiaoqiao willingly in these three months?
He's already engaged to Qin Yuzhen! He even announced it online!
Furthermore, judging from Qin Yuzhen's performance, this matter doesn't seem like an easy or simple task.
What should we do...?
Ziyu rolled out of bed, looking bitter and resentful.
He originally thought this would be difficult to accomplish, but to his surprise, the opportunity to prevent them from getting married came knocking on his door just one day later.

“Yu Yu… I, I am your aunt.”
When Ziyu heard the familiar voice again, he was clearly dazed for a moment.
If it weren't for this phone call, he would have almost forgotten that he had an aunt in this game world.
Ever since he tricked his cousin, his aunt's family was so afraid that Ziyu would get involved that they ran away overnight without leaving any news for Ziyu.
If Ziyu hadn't already secured a stable job and a house in Qinyu Town at that time, it would have been devastating for anyone else.
Especially after he was betrayed by Mingyu's illegitimate son and ended up in a vegetative state in the hospital, his only relative in the world, hadn't visited him even once in six years.
He originally thought that he would have no contact with his aunt's family after that.
I never expected to hear that sound again today.
"Your aunt came to find you out of desperation..."
Six years have passed, and my aunt's voice on the other end of the phone has become noticeably older and hoarse.
"...Auntie." Ziyu called out after a few seconds of silence, "Is something the matter?"
Aunt swallowed hard: "Yu Yu! Please save your aunt! If even you won't help me, I'll have no choice but to die...!"
"Has your uncle run into debt again?"
The aunt was silent for a moment, seemingly not expecting Ziyu to be so direct.
"How much is owed?"
Ziyu gave a cold laugh.
"...Six million."
"Six million?!" Ziyu exclaimed in shock. "Are you all crazy?!"
“Your uncle was also deceived! Those friends kept coaxing him, but he didn’t pay attention. It wasn’t what he wanted.”
"His hands are his own body. If he hadn't become greedy, would those people have been able to control him?" Ziyu sneered. "He's over forty years old, does he still think he's a child?"
The aunt was a little angry: "Ziyu! How dare you talk to your uncle like that? Is this how your parents raised you when you were little?"
“My parents died when I was five years old, Auntie, didn’t you know that?”
"..." Aunt was speechless. She forced herself to say, "No matter what, he's still your uncle, he's family... Aren't you engaged to the Qin family? You should be able to get six million easily, right?"
Ziyu smiled, then wearily pressed his temples.
"Family? Aunt, during the six years I was in a vegetative state in the hospital, did you even come to see me once?"
"..."
Ziyu said, "Auntie, I've been with you since I was five years old. I'm always grateful for your care, but I'm also an independent person. I'm not your ATM."
Ziyu: "From childhood to adulthood, my living expenses were only one-tenth of my cousin's. The clothes I wore were hand-me-downs from you and my uncle. My tuition was earned through part-time jobs and scholarships. I don't know if the total amount I earned over those years was more than 100,000 yuan. I have already paid you back what I owed you. I could never come up with this 6 million yuan."
The aunt became anxious: "Ziyu! I admit that I haven't been good enough to you, but can't you help me out for the sake of how I've taken care of you? Do you want to be happy to see me die like your parents?!"
"Zi Huifang!" Ziyu shouted angrily. Zi Huifang was her aunt's name. "Have you said enough?!"
Zi Huifang shrank back; it was the first time she had ever heard Zi Yu speak with such anger.
She knew that Ziyu's biggest weakness was his parents, but she simply couldn't control herself.
She looked up at the strong, burly men around her, and her face paled even more.
Ziyu closed her eyes and said, "Why don't you get a divorce?"
Zi Huifang was taken aback.
Ziyu said, "If you are willing to get a divorce, I will help you with the divorce debts, and I will also take care of your life afterwards."
Zi Huifang lowered her eyes, unconsciously clenching her teeth.
"Please help your uncle..."
Ziyu was exhausted.
"I won't help you," Ziyu said. "That's all, Auntie, goodbye."
"Ziyu! Do you have to be so unfilial? Ziyu... Hello! Hello?"
Zi Huifang put down her phone and placed it dejectedly in front of her.
Ziyu hung up the phone.
Zi Huifang looked timidly at the man in front of her: "Brother Long, please give us a little more time..."
"Huh? It seems you two, aunt and niece, don't have a very close relationship."
The man standing in front of her was at least 1.9 meters tall, with a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his chin, and the people behind him understood and threw the person who was tied up in a ball forward.
"Mom! Mom! Please beg my cousin again...!" The younger cousin cried uncontrollably, his face pale with fear of the men.
"Mom...Mom, sob sob sob, I don't want to die..."
My cousin, sobbing, crawled slowly to Zi Huifang's side, supporting himself on his shoulders: "Mom, I'm about to graduate from university... I haven't even entered the workforce yet, Mom, Mom!"
Brother Long looked at his cousin with a mocking smile.
He's incredibly crazy when he gambles, but he becomes terrified whenever he sees them, and then he's pitiful when he begs his mother for money.
He despises people like that the most.
Going out into the workforce? You'll just be a freeloader who lives off your parents!
Brother Long kicked his cousin hard.
My cousin didn't dare to utter a sound after being kicked; he just stared pitifully at his mother.
Zi Huifang was heartbroken.
Her son repeated a year of high school and is now a junior. He spends his days at home either drinking, playing video games, or gambling.
Ziyu is right. The debt their family owed came from their uncle's failed investments, but that was only a few hundred thousand yuan. The real bulk of the debt came from their son's gambling and online loans with compounding interest...
We're both juniors...
Zi Huifang closed her eyes and let out a heavy breath.
Ziyu received so many scholarships back then that she was overwhelmed with them, and she started working very early.
Her son was about to graduate, but Ziyu had been in the hospital for six whole years...
"mom!"
Zi Huifang suddenly opened her eyes.
What she saw was a scene of men beating her son. Brother Long sneered, "Auntie! If you can't pay the bill next month, I don't know if your son will still be calling you 'Mom'!"
He kicked his cousin in the face and walked away triumphantly with his men.
My cousin was curled up on the ground, panting, wincing in pain.
Seeing that the people had left, Zi Huifang quickly helped her son up: "Xiaobao! Are you alright?"
Her cousin turned to her fiercely and said, "Why can't you ask Ziyu to give you the money?!"
Zi Huifang's body was stiff, and she couldn't say a word.
My cousin yelled, "They beat me up like this! Mom! Do you want me to die?! Are you even my mother anymore?!"
"But he doesn't want to give me the money, and I don't know what to do."
"Why? Why does he have everything?! That illegitimate child should have stabbed him to death back then!" The cousin's eyes were red with anger. He had heard about Ziyu online before, and as he grew up, he also understood how Ziyu had taken advantage of his young age to cheat him. His hatred and jealousy towards Ziyu grew day by day.
He was jealous of Ziyu's wealth, which he earned by selling his body. He frequented various gambling halls and KTVs every day, claiming that his cousin was the husband of the Qin family heir. However, he never expected to be called to gamble by Brother Long.
He was young and proud, unwilling to admit that Ziyu actually had nothing to do with him, so he gambled on it anyway, and the interest compounded until it reached nearly six million.
Brother Long demanded that he repay the money, but he couldn't.
My cousin swung his arm and slapped his mother hard across the face: "You call yourself my mother?! Do you want to see me die?!"
Zi Huifang was beaten and fell to the ground, but she didn't dare to say a word.
My cousin hates Ziyu so much he's itching to bite him.
Suddenly, he picked up Zi Huifang's phone.
Because her husband always failed in his investments, Zi Huifang had long since developed the habit of recording every phone call to prevent clients from using any leverage against her.
A wicked smile crept onto my cousin's bruised and swollen face.
"I won't let you get away with this... If you won't help me... then you might as well die!"
