Long Tian pulled a notebook from his back pocket and solemnly handed it to Ma Mei; it contained all his hard work.
Ma Mei glanced at it briefly; the name was "Ma Family Rules."
? ? ?
"What the heck?" Ma Mei wondered, but before she could finish her question, Long Tian personally answered it for her.
“Meizi, this is the essence of what I wrote. I remember you have an older brother named Ma Facai. He is the pillar of the family. If you want to get married, your parents will most likely arrange the marriage for your brother. In addition, Jiang Rongyi is much older than you, so the marriage can only be your brother’s.”
“The Jiang family has very few children. Jiang Rongyi is one, and Li Yiyi is another. If Jiang Rongyi is not suitable, only your brother is. You should instill the contents of this book into your brother and parents, and have them recite all the family rules on the day of the marriage proposal. Li Yiyi is spoiled at home, and her parents will definitely not agree to this marriage.”
Long Tian was confident in what he had written. The original name of this family rule was "Lin Family Rules," and he hadn't simply changed "Lin" to "Ma."
Changing the surname won't change the level of disgust he's capable of. As long as Ma Facai, his parents, and his wife do as he says, their chances of success will greatly increase.
"What are you going to do next, Long Tian?"
Her eyes gleamed. Without even opening the notebook, Ma Mei knew it contained bad news. If it were truly valuable, why would Long Tian have needed her help?
"Meizi, this is very important. Whether I can win over Li Yiyi and whether I can survive depends entirely on you."
"Long Tian, I know I won't let you down. I will definitely make sure you live."
Ma Mei assured him that Long Tian had no doubts whatsoever as he told her the next steps of the plan. He wasn't lying; Ma Mei held an irreplaceable position in the entire plan.
Without Mame, the plan's effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and it might not even have had a chance to begin.
"When Li Yiyi's parents are furious, I need you to quietly come out, open the door, and let me in."
Ma Mei didn't quite understand why they opened the door and let Long Tian in.
"Long Tian, can you tell me why?"
Looking down at Ma Mei's curious gaze, Long Tian didn't want to say anything, but for the sake of the plan, he could only give a vague description. He was afraid that if he said too much, Ma Mei would figure it out.
Or rather, Li Hun was monitoring him and knew his plans.
Thinking of this, Long Tian's heart, which had been pounding with excitement, sank. Right, there was still Li Hun; he couldn't forget this person.
"Meizi, feelings are relative. If one person treats you very badly and another person saves you from dire straits, who would you like more?"
Whose favorability score will be higher?
Ma Mei understood immediately, her eyes shining as she looked at Long Tian as if he were some strange and unusual thing.
"Long Tian, don't worry, I will help you. My family doesn't love me at all, only you love me. I will do everything I can to help you."
She would certainly open the door for Long Tian, but that was a matter for later.
"Meizi, I believe in you too."
Ma Mei's behavior seemed off, and Long Tian sensed something was amiss, but he didn't dwell on it. The person he liked was busy pursuing someone else, scheming and plotting for that other person.
If it were him, he wouldn't feel comfortable either, Ma Mei said, adding that it might not just be a feeling of awkwardness.
"Plum, don't worry, you helped me, I won't forget you. As long as I survive, I will definitely treat you well."
If he really succeeds in winning over Li Yiyi, Long Tian swears he will treat Ma Mei well.
He may not be able to offer her affection, but he won't let Ma Mei lack anything materially.
"I trust you."
Ma Mei spoke again, and then the two parted ways, each with their own thoughts.
On his way back, Long Tian was happy. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Now he only needed to do one thing.
Ma Mei was also happy. Meeting with Long Tian had given her stalled plans a new lease on life, and she had also learned a great deal.
I'm so happy!
Wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, Ma Mei felt more and more that Long Tian's plan was brilliant.
Yes, I feel that comparison is necessary.
She would do as Long Tian said, but the timing was entirely up to her. What Long Tian could do, she could do too; what Long Tian could successfully conquer, she could also successfully conquer.
The system—not only does Long Tian have it, she wants it too.
Who would have thought that the last time I went to Li Su's house with Li Yiyi and the others, she got a freebie.
Thinking about what Long Tian said about conspiring with Li Su, if that's the case, then Li Su must also have a system. Recently, she hadn't seen Li Su getting close to Li Yiyi.
On the contrary, Long Tian often lingered around Li Yiyi after school. If you ask her how she knew, it's because she saw him by chance.
There's a clear difference between joining or not joining.
The difference between Long Tian and Li Su allowed Ma Mei to quickly deduce that Li Su likely no longer had the system; she had been eliminated.
The system she was bound to was originally bound to Li Su. The fact that Li Su didn't suffer a fatal loss from the system means that Long Tian was lying to her, and the system was also lying.
Failure isn't fatal, so why doesn't she take a chance? Why give such a good opportunity to Long Tian? Why not make good use of it herself and replace Long Tian in her position? Things can still be accomplished.
As for Long Tian, Ma Mei scoffed.
Long Tianzhen was naive to think he could win her favor with a cheap lie.
She admitted that before meeting Long Tian today, she still had some feelings for him, but after meeting him, and seeing his repeated, flimsy lies, she had already withdrawn her affections.
If Long Tian could deceive and exploit her for wealth, why couldn't she exploit him in return?
Thinking back to Long Tian, Ma Mei realized he was nothing special. Average looks, average figure, average grades, average intelligence—she couldn't even tell he was faking it.
How did she fall for Long Tian in the past? Just because Long Tian can talk!
After thinking about it, Ma Mei thought it was possible. It didn't matter; who hadn't been blinded by sweet talk when they first fell in love? It was good that she realized it.
Once she wins over Li Yiyi, she'll have everything she wants. Why should she be confined to Long Tian, who is nothing at all?
After thinking it through, Ma Mei was even more eager to go home.
Now she's not helping Long Tian, but working for herself. Her mindset is different, and so is the level of importance she places on it.
After glancing at the Ma family rules that Long Tian had given her, Ma Mei immediately offered her opinion.
How vicious!
But it doesn't matter, the more vicious the better, the more obvious the effect will be.
Li Hun overheard Long Tian and Ma Mei's plan, and this was the first time he had smiled since leaving Li Yi's family.
Who knew Long Tian had this skill? He certainly has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to charming women.
Li Yiyi is difficult to win over, and Ma Mei is easy to deceive. Ma Mei's system was an accident; he originally wanted to take it back after it separated from Li Su.
But who knew, a gust of wind blew, and sand got into his eyes. Just as he was about to retract the system, it landed on Ma Mei. Remembering that Ma Mei was also Li Yiyi's classmate...
With one more person, there's one more way out, so he let it go.
