Chapter 11: The Scam Roulette Wheel - Kangxi's Nine Sons Caused Chaos...
Wen Ruan was furious: "You, you really did this on purpose!"
Wen Han laughed. How come he never realized how amusing it was when Wen Ruan was love-struck?
Aren't you afraid the Gu family will cause you trouble?
Wen Han rubbed her sore face: "If you don't tell me, who will know?"
Wen Ruan glared at him and said, "What if I tell Gu Cheng?"
"My only intention was to wake him up," Wen Han said with a smile. "If you insist on telling him, I don't care. In the end, it's always Dad who has to pay. Come on, go up and talk to him. I'll make him kneel down and beg you."
"Anyway, I'll just say I'm standing up for Wen Ruo," Wen Han said, looking down from her high vantage point. "He'll believe me."
Wen Ruan was helpless. Wen Qingke always thought that Wen Han was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, just a bit domineering at home, but would protect Wen Ruo and Wen Ruan outside. If Wen Han said that she hit Gu Cheng to avenge Wen Ruo, Wen Qingke would definitely believe her.
Wen Ruan's gaze was firm: "Go apologize to Gu Cheng."
Wen Han tilted her head: "Why should I apologize?"
"Don't tell me you did something wrong and expect no punishment at all?"
"No," Wen Han said coldly, "there will be no punishment."
He continued, "Isn't Gu Cheng always like this? What I've done is nothing compared to him."
Wen Han smiled as she watched Wen Ruan, who was furious but unable to refute her, her small face turning bright red.
More than that.
He'll keep having bad luck.
——
The system exclaimed with delight, "Host, the space has been approved!"
Wen Han had just finished showering: "How did your space agree to this?"
The system exclaimed happily, "I go cry whenever I have nothing to do, and they find me annoying, so they approved it."
"Very good." He truly embodies my style. Wen Han asked, "Is it okay how many illegitimate children we have?"
"There are limits," the system said. "According to historical data from the Linjin region, a person can have a maximum of seventy illegitimate children."
Seventy!?
"Yes, so host, we should randomly select a number, with a lower limit of one and an upper limit of seventy, and the gender and age should also be random."
If it's seventy, then he has a 50% chance of drawing a number above thirty-five.
Kangxi's nine sons caused such a commotion that the world was in chaos. If the thirty-five sons were to turn the Gu family into a battlefield of three wars, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?
Wen Han smiled broadly as she did the calculations.
"When are we going to draw it?" Wen Han asked impatiently. "I'm waiting for my vacation to go to the temple and pray properly."
"...After the numbers are drawn, it will take at least three months to cash them out."
Wen Han was shocked. "Why will it take so long! By then, winter break will be over!"
The system sighed, "Creating so many people, and giving them identities and backgrounds, will take a lot of time."
That's true. Wen Han rubbed her palms together. It's better to draw them as soon as possible.
Wen Han opened the window; the moon was shining brightly outside. He took a deep breath.
"Host, what are you doing?"
"Absorb the essence of the sun and moon." Wen Han held her breath to prevent the essence of the sun and moon from being exhaled. "Quick, let me draw a lot."
"Oh, oh, oh."
A bright red spinning wheel suddenly appeared in her line of sight. Seeing the lottery page that looked so much like Pinduoduo's, Wen Han felt that something was wrong.
But he was so breathless that he had no choice but to press the button immediately.
There's a 50% chance it will be over thirty-five, it definitely has to be over fifty!
Wen Han stared intently at the spinning wheel, the pointer whirring wildly. "Never mind," she thought, "one shouldn't be too greedy. As long as it's over thirty-five, that's fine."
...If all else fails, thirty-four will do!
*
"Host," the system said cautiously, "please don't be angry."
The night was deathly silent, and Wen Han stared intently at the ceiling.
"Actually, six is quite a lot." After saying that, even the system couldn't console itself anymore.
They didn't even break into single digits; their luck was a bit bad.
“People used to have more children, even poor families had five or six!” Wen Han was so angry that she couldn’t sleep at all. “How could six children have any impact on the Gu family?”
The system, fearing he might faint from anger, said, "Everyone says quality is more important than quantity. Maybe these six kids are all capable of causing trouble?"
"That's the only way to think about it." Wen Han angrily punched the bed twice.
Damn it!
——
She was so angry that she couldn't fall asleep until late at night. When she was woken up, Wen Han was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes.
Wen Qingke was preparing Wen Ruo's breakfast. Wen Han took a sip of porridge and almost burned her tongue.
How could anyone possibly have time to eat such scalding hot porridge in such a short time?
Wen Han glanced at the time: "I'm full."
"You'll get hungry in class, have some more porridge." Wen Qingke suddenly brought it up, "By the way, a lawyer called me yesterday, saying he was referred by your classmate?"
Wen Ruan was stunned. Wen Han remembered that Jing Yu had taken Wen Qingke's phone number: "Well, he said that this lawyer is an intern lawyer, so he won't charge us."
"This...this isn't quite right."
"Of course they're doing charity by not taking money from poor people. We're not poor, are we rich or something?"
Wen Qingke felt a little embarrassed. Wen Han glanced at Wen Ruan and said lightly, "We should be grateful that they are willing to help us. Don't let someone else flatter you and then refuse them, making them lose face."
Wen Qingke quickly waved his hand: "Impossible, Dad knows."
*
Wen Han dozed off throughout the entire class, and no matter how much the system clamored in her mind, it was no use.
Jing Yu gently poked him a couple of times at first, but Wen Han said directly, "I'm really sleepy right now, so let me sleep."
Fortunately, Fang Songxia, being an Alpha, was tall enough to block him without moving.
After catching up on her sleep, Wen Han felt a little better. Fang Songxia turned to her and asked, "What did you do last night? Why were you dozing off in the first class?"
"Don't even mention it," Wen Han complained as she recounted what happened last night.
"You're so unlucky," Fang Songxia pondered. "But which Alpha is like that during their heat?"
"Who knows?"
The videos on the internet have all been suppressed by the Gu family, and the principal has also notified the teachers, warning students not to leak information online.
Jingyu was helping Wen Han review the questions he had answered incorrectly when she quietly interrupted their conversation.
"Oh, okay." Wen Han waved her hand. "Let's talk next class. I haven't corrected my test paper yet."
"Huh?" Fang Songxia wanted to say that she could teach him too, but she quietly withdrew when she saw Jing Yu's score.
Jing Yu explained things in great detail. To be precise, he had asked a few small questions beforehand and realized that Wen Han's physics foundation was almost zero. So when he was explaining the problem, he explained the principles behind each step. Even if Wen Han asked a very silly question, he wouldn't be surprised.
Even if Wen Han couldn't understand, Jing Yu wouldn't get impatient. He would just smile gently and start explaining again, fully protecting Wen Han's self-esteem.
Wen Han still remembers that when he couldn't understand the question, he had to ask Wen Ruo for help. As she explained, she became impatient and frowned, eventually asking him coldly, "What were you doing in class?"
Wen Han muttered, "Look how patient and kind Jing Yu is. If Wen Ruo were half as good, my relationship with him might be better."
The system whispered, "Actually, the protagonist is quite patient too. You can ask him questions too, host."
Wen Han snapped like a cat that had been poked: "Asking him for questions? Absolutely not!"
Speaking of family matters, Wen Han said with gratitude, "By the way, Jing Yu, the lawyer called my dad. Thank you."
"I'm glad I could help you," Jing Yu said with a smile. "Actually, I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
Jing Yu asked him for help? What's the use of asking him for help when even the Jing family can't solve the problem?
Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Jing Yu explained, "To be precise, she is my sister."
Wen Han exclaimed, "Ah!" The drama only mentioned that Jing Yu had an older brother. The other members of the Jing family were only shown in a few shots as background figures when the Jing family went bankrupt, showing how miserable the consequences of offending Gu Cheng were.
After offending Gu Cheng's family and going bankrupt, Jing Yu was never mentioned again in the show. He was the only villain in the series who could still stir up trouble.
Although the outcome wasn't very pleasant.
What happened to your sister?
“She has pheromone disorder.” Jing Yu lowered her eyes. “You can smell pheromones, but you won’t be affected, right?”
"Um."
"Can you come to my house this Saturday since you have the day off?" Jing Yu asked sincerely. "My sister really needs help."
Fang Songxia pricked up her ears.
Although she didn't know how she could be of help, Jing Yu had helped her a lot, and it wouldn't be right to refuse. Wen Han nodded: "Where do you live?"
"You should tell your dad," Jingyu said with a slight smile when he agreed. "I'll take you after school."
"good."
"Are you really going to his house?" Fang Songxia asked worriedly as she rode her electric bike home from school that evening. "His family is so rich, he can find anyone he wants. I just feel something's off."
Wen Han sat in the back seat: "You said it yourself, his family is so rich, there's no need for them to rip me off. They're not involved in illegal activities."
"Sigh." Fang Songxia sighed, "You'd rather go to his house to help out than go out with me on weekends."
The green grapes were starting to turn sour, and Wen Han said with a grin, "Can he compare to you? We've been friends since we were kids, what more could you want?"
"snort."
——
School ends at noon on Saturday.
"Take the subway?" Wen Han asked in surprise. "Do you take the subway to and from school every day?"
He thought rich people were all chauffeured around.
Jingyu laughed and said, "I get carsick easily, and taking the subway avoids traffic jams, which is more convenient."
The system muttered, "Host, he's ridden in cars before in the show, and how could they possibly get carsick? He's definitely up to no good."
Wen Han found it strange. She hadn't even started to resent the rich yet, so why was this little gadget already doing so?
"Little detective, you should use your sharp eyes more on Gu Cheng and Wen Ruan, and show more sympathy for Jing Yu. You're being too harsh on him."
The system is acting unreasonably again. Wen Han sighed, "I also want to take the subway, but my home is very far from the subway station."
Wen Han couldn't even remember the last time he took the subway. It was a weekend and the subway station was crowded. He looked at the unfamiliar subway station and subconsciously followed behind Jing Yu.

The spinning wheel rattled and clanged, the pointer slowly pointing to 6.
