Chapter 1 The scheming little beauty is full of lies

"You said I was dying?"

"Yes, host."

In a corner of the banquet, Ye Man stopped forking the cake.

The next second, he quickly stuffed the cake into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

He raised his fair and beautiful face and asked the voice, "Why?"

Ye Man was adopted by the Chi family not long ago.

The Chi family, a wealthy family in Beijing, has two sons, the eldest son Chi Yan, and the second son Chi Jue, both of whom are leading figures of this generation in the circle of wealthy families in Beijing.

A while ago, there was a big incident in the circle. It was discovered that the second young master Chi was not the biological son of the Chi family by mistake. After checking, it was discovered that there was an incident of wrong child being taken away in the past.

With the identity and background of the Chi family, they were able to find Ye Man very quickly. The real young master of the Chi family who was living away from home, also thoroughly investigated Ye Man's life from childhood to adulthood.

Ye Man had not had a good life in recent years. His adoptive mother died early, and his adoptive father was a drunkard, violent gambler who ran away with a lot of debts, leaving the young Ye Man alone to face the debt collectors. He had no choice but to drop out of school at a young age and work to pay off his debts.

In the eyes of a family like the Chi family, the issue of blaming someone for something wrong is easy to resolve.

Chi Jue has been raised as their own son for so many years, and has been brought up to excel. The Chi family will naturally not give up on him. Ye Man is their own son, and they can't just watch him live a hard life out there. The Chi family wants both of them, which is nothing more than having more sons. It's not like the family can't afford to raise them, so it's not a big deal.

The only difficulty is property issues.

Father Chi called Chi Yan and Chi Jue to the study room early to make it clear that Ye Man, this kid, would not be able to achieve great things with his resume. The family would not lack him for his share, which was enough for him to be a leisurely second-generation rich man for the rest of his life, and he would not have to think about anything more.

As the contracts were signed one after another, any possible disputes over the property were put to an end early on, and Chi Jue felt at ease.

The Chi family was extremely efficient. From finding Ye Man, to making the decision, to bringing Ye Man back to the Chi family, it took less than three days in total.

Ye Man suddenly turned into a rich young master.

He was not happy for more than two days before the system came to his door and told him that he was dying.

"Your world is a BL novel that everyone loves. Chi Jue is the beloved protagonist in the book, and you are the vicious cannon fodder in the book."

The system reads according to the script.

"You come from a poor family, have a gloomy and unpleasant personality, and after returning to the Chi family, you are crushed by Chi Jue in all aspects. Everyone around you likes Chi Jue and dislikes you. You are eager to integrate into the upper-class circle, but you often make a fool of yourself in important occasions and become a laughing stock in the entire circle. Everyone looks down on you and hates you. Even your biological parents and brother like Chi Jue more."

"You were madly jealous of Chi Jue, and your heart gradually became dark and twisted. You used all kinds of vicious and despicable means to frame him, steal his things, and even drugged his childhood sweetheart's fiancé and climbed into his bed, trying to replace Chi Jue and become the Meng family's marriage partner..."

"In short, you did a series of bad things, and in the end you were exposed. In a rage, Chi's father kicked you out of the house. You were hit by a car and broke your leg while you were in a trance. Because you always pretended to be sick and injured to gain sympathy, no one believed you even if you called for help. It was a kind passerby who called an ambulance for you."

"You saved your life, but became a cripple. Under multiple blows, you became mentally ill and eventually fell down the stairs and died in a mental hospital."

This was Ye Man’s original destiny.

"I can save you."

"We have detected that there is a problem with the relationship between the protagonist and the top and bottom. I need you to help me maintain the plot. When you want to log off, the system will help you arrange a death escape and give you a large sum of money, the kind that you can't spend in your lifetime."

"What am I going to do?"

"According to the plot, be your vicious cannon fodder, and when necessary, push the top and bottom's emotions. By the way, don't think that running away can avoid your original ending. The plot is very inertial. There is no system cheating. No matter how hard you try, you will still die in the end."

"Can I keep my legs intact?"

System: "No, this is an important plot line. According to your character, if you were not lame, you would never give up pestering the Chi family, and you would definitely continue to find ways to go back and cause trouble. But you should be offline here, and you have nothing to do with the subsequent plot, so this leg must be amputated."

Ye Man silently grasped the hem of his clothes, a look of helplessness flashed across his face, "But, I'm already blind, if I become lame again, what will happen to my grandma?"

System: "...Grandma?"

"........."

Wait, blind?

The system finally noticed that Ye Man's pure and clear eyes were empty and unfocused the entire time.

As he spoke, the boy's eyes quickly turned red. He was a well-behaved and handsome man with thin eyelids, which were particularly noticeable when they turned red, making him look like a pitiful rabbit.

Especially after discovering that he was actually blind, the system showed a rare hint of panic.

How come Ye Man is blind? !

How can he do bad things if he can't even see! Whose vicious cannon fodder is blind!

Not far away, several young men from wealthy families signaled with their eyes Ye Man who was standing alone in the corner.

"Is this the one that the Chi family just recognized?"

"She's just...pretty." The sarcastic words came to his lips, but he couldn't lie against his conscience.

"Ahem, let's go and take care of our brother for our brother Jue."

Ye Man and Chi Jue are the same age, but in reality he was born a few hours later than Chi Jue and became the younger brother after being adopted.

At this time, the blind boy had not noticed the trouble and was concentrating on communicating with the system.

"Yes, my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a few years ago. She can't be left alone. She sometimes forgets to turn off the gas, which is too dangerous. If it weren't for me..."

The system flipped through the plot information and found the part that mentioned Ye Man's grandmother in the corner.

"Sorry to interrupt."

"Didn't your grandmother, your adoptive mother's mother, die before you were born?"

Where did his grandmother with Alzheimer's come from?

Ye Man lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow on her eyelids, "Oh, I didn't explain it clearly..."

He was silent for a few seconds.

The young boy was thin and stood there alone and silently, which made people feel particularly pitiful.

The conscience that the system does not exist begins to hurt.

"She's the neighbor who lives next door to me," a trace of warmth spread across Ye Man's face, "After my mother passed away, that man often left me alone at home and didn't come back for days. When he left, he took all the money with him. I had no money to eat, and when I was almost starving to death, it was my neighbor, Grandma Lu, who brought me food. I didn't want others to misunderstand that she had a relationship with that man, so I always called her grandma."

The boy pursed his lips and lowered his head. "She is the only person in the world who is kind to me. I have always regarded her as my closest relative. We are like grandparents. So can I not break my leg?"

"Besides this, I will try my best to complete everything else you ask me to do."

The conscience that the system does not exist hurts even more.

Ye Man waited nervously for a while, only to hear a "pop" sound.

It felt like someone slapped me in the face.

The system softened its voice: "It's okay. This leg doesn't have to be severed."

Thinking about the performance that might be deducted because of this sentence, the system's heart bleeds.

Ye Man asked cautiously, "You won't be punished for this, right?"

"will not."

Ye Man smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Tong."

The system was shaken by Ye Man's smile, and it felt dizzy as if it was walking on clouds.

It’s just some performance!

Buckle! Buckle at will!

As a professional vicious cannon fodder system, the hosts that assisted in the past all had a lot of bad intentions in their hearts. They had 80,000 thoughts in one second, and they could come up with a vicious plan to frame the protagonist in a matter of minutes. This was the first time that they encountered a vicious cannon fodder like Ye Man.

Forcing a poor blind kid to be a vicious cannon fodder makes the system suspect that it is committing a crime.

But unfortunately, Ye Man is the vicious cannon fodder of this world.

Today is the first time Ye Man appears in a social occasion after being adopted into the Chi family.

He came with Chi Yan. Chi Yan wanted to discuss business, and Ye Man was brought out to eat, drink and relax.

In the script obtained by the system, Ye Man has just entered the social scene and is eager to break into the circle of the second generation. He flatters his friends and tries to get in. If he can't get in, he will force his way in.

The result was that no matter how hard he tried to start a conversation, people around him just looked at him with a smile and ignored him. They would also make insinuations and say that he was a little ugly, that he was not presentable, and that he was not even as good as Chi Jue.

Ye Man was so humiliated that his face turned red. He shouted in front of everyone that Chi Jue was a thief who stole other people's things. He was the son of the Chi family, and Chi Jue was a fake.

Although it is true, who would bring such a thing up in the open like this?

Ye Man stood in a group of people, and everyone thought he was the ignorant and noisy one, which made him seem even more out of place.

Besides, Chi's father had already established the image that the Chi family had easily handled the controversy over the real and fake sons, and had told the outside world that the brothers in the family had a harmonious relationship. Now that Ye Man had exposed the situation, everyone was waiting to see the Chi family make a fool of themselves.

When he got home, Chi's father was so angry that he locked Ye Man up for three days and asked him to reflect on his behavior.

The system finished telling the story of its departure, looked at the boy who was holding the cake and listening to it obediently, and fell silent for a moment.

Thinking about what Ye Man was about to go through, it gasped.

"Well, what they say later might be a little harsh, don't take it too seriously, just think of it as an act, and don't... don't cry..."

A trace of regret flashed across Ye Man's face.

"I won't cry."

I ate too much in one go just now, and now I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach.

He thought about going to the bathroom to wash his face and then coming back to watch the show.

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered that he was blind now, so he turned back.

Stop a passing waiter and ask him to take you to the bathroom.

When he came out of the restroom, the waiter was gone, replaced by a few playboys following him out.

"Isn't this Young Master Chi?"

Three or five people surrounded Ye Man strictly, with malicious intentions.

"Why are you here alone? Is this your first time in a place like this? Do you want us to take you out to play?"

One of them, for some unknown reason, reached out to touch Ye Man's face.

When they were very close, Ye Man was a beat slower and dodged inconspicuously.

The rejection is not so strong, making people feel like they are trying to refuse but also to welcome.

"No, I want to go back. My brother won't let me wander around."

"Hey, we are not just anyone else. We are your brother's good friends. We won't go far. Just over there. It's okay. Let's go!" As he said that, he reached out to touch Ye Man's shoulder.

System:!

What is he doing! How can he tease a vicious cannon fodder! Let him go!

"Ye Man! You can't go! He definitely has bad intentions!"

Ye Man couldn't see, but this man was staring at Ye Man with lustful eyes, and it was unknown what he was going to do.

The system was sweating with anxiety.

At the corner, a figure stopped.

Secretary Chen was holding a document and checking the details of the project to be discussed later. The person in front of him suddenly stopped. He thought he had said something wrong and his brain was working wildly.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that it was a group of people blocking the road ahead.

"Mr. Xu, I'll go talk to them right away."

However, before Secretary Chen could take any action, there was a sudden commotion among the dandies who were gathered there, not knowing what they were doing.

Amid the scuffling, a thin and slender figure slammed into the cabinet where the vases were displayed, knocking the cabinet over, breaking the vases, and causing them to fall heavily to the ground.

Secretary Chen rubbed his eyes, not being able to see clearly how they had gotten into such a mess.

Not only did the group of people here fall silent, but the dandies over there were also stunned, staring blankly at the person who fell to the ground.

On the ground. Ye Man softly covered her left hand, her eyes reddened.

Secretary Chen said with a stiff upper lip: "Young Master Chu, what is this?"

Chu Rong turned around and saw the person standing in the corridor, and his whole body froze.

"Mr. Xu..."

For a moment, everyone fell silent because of this title.

Young Master Chu was so overwhelmed by the sharp gaze that he couldn't raise his head: "Mr. Xu, I, this is..."

Xu Huaiting didn't look at Chu Rong, his eyes swept over the people on the ground.

Ye Man was very sensitive to other people's gazes. When he blinked, tears fell from his eyelashes, and a light layer of powder appeared on the tip of his nose and the corners of his eyes.

The gaze that was about to drift away from him was caught by him.

Ye Man raised the corner of his mouth almost imperceptibly.

He practiced this move in front of the mirror for a long time.

He didn't know who Mr. Xu was, but judging by the reactions of the people around him, he must be an important figure.

"Young Master Chu, I don't know how I have offended you. It's all my fault. I will apologize to you with one hand. Please let me go..." Ye Man said while choking.

Secretary Chen, who had seen a lot, turned his eyes away reluctantly and said hesitantly, "Young Master Chu, this... no matter what, hitting someone is not a good idea, right?"

Chu Rong looked at the person on the ground in disbelief and explained hurriedly: "It wasn't me, I didn't even touch him, he just fell down all of a sudden!"

Secretary Chen glanced at the person on the ground again and sighed: "Third Young Master..."

Does he believe what he said?

Chu Rong is about to collapse.

He really didn't do anything! He wanted to teach Ye Man a lesson, but he was the young master of the Chi family after all, so he couldn't go to the extent of fighting!

Secretary Chen was about to say something else when the man in front of him moved.

Secretary Chen kept his mouth shut and followed.

As the man approached, Chu Rong and the others were all silent.

Even Ye Man subconsciously held his breath.

He seemed to have sensed a dangerous little animal and instinctively held his breath for fear of being discovered.

With limited vision, perception becomes extraordinarily acute.

He felt an oppressive aura stop in front of him, and a tall, dark and heavy shadow enveloped him as he curled up into a small ball on the ground.

A faint smell of cigarettes drifted over, not strong, not very pungent, and made Ye Man's heart skip a beat. He didn't know why, but he was subconsciously a little scared.

Ye Man has been able to live this long because he has some instinct to avoid danger.

He was not like Chu Rong and the others beside him who dared not move. When they were afraid, they covered their left hand in a well-trained manner and uttered a low cry.

But because of his instinctive fear, he couldn't bear the pressure and turned his face away, not daring to face the gaze falling on him.

Faintly, he heard a very light laugh coming from in front of him.

How can anyone laugh when seeing such a rotten stall filled with smoke and miasma?

Ye Man didn't understand.

All I could tell was that the smile was a bit lazy and didn't seem like a mockery.

"The injury is on the right hand." A slightly low voice said with inexplicable meaning.

After saying this, Xu Huaiting instructed Secretary Chen: "Find someone to bandage him."

Secretary Chen nodded, "Yes, sir."

Then he looked at the miserable boy lying on the ground with sympathy.

Although I don't know why he kept covering his left hand, which was fine, the bloody wound on his right hand was really shocking.

The ground was covered with his blood. If you didn't know, you would have thought it was a murder scene. He didn't even cry out in pain, and didn't cry loudly, which shows that he is a stubborn person.

Secretary Chen shook his head. Young Master Chu was a carefree person, but this time, he went a little too far.

Mr. Xu left those words and left with a group of people behind him. Secretary Chen called the accompanying doctor to come over and said a few words to Ye Manan.

Ye Man touched his right hand blankly and took a hissing breath.

It turns out there is a scratch here.

A flush of heat welled up on his face, and he bit his lower lip unwillingly and shamefully.

He knew why the man laughed.

He must have seen through his trick.
