Ning Chuchu sat in the car, looking calm and composed, with a peaceful expression on her face. It seemed that she didn't even take Yun Yirou, who was stopping the car, seriously.

However, her dark eyes, gloomy and deep, somewhat revealed her turbulent emotions.

"Tong, what's going on with that jade bracelet?" Ning Chuchu asked seriously in her heart.

It was not until this moment that Ning Chuchu suddenly realized that the jade bracelet seemed not to have appeared in her mind for a long time.

She has encountered too many troubles during this period of time, filming "Hunter", finding out Yun Shu's past, helping Pei Wang to clear up the matter... each one is more troublesome than the last.

Ning Chuchu's entire mind and energy were occupied by these things. Once the jade bracelet no longer appeared on its own, she naturally put this unfortunate jade bracelet behind her mind.

After all, she had been dealing with the jade bracelet in a playful manner from the beginning, and did not take it too seriously, so his disappearance for such a long time did not attract her attention.

Even though the jade bracelet had given her many practical rewards, Ning Chuchu always remained sober.

She knew that her life would ultimately depend on herself and she couldn't always rely on external things, not to mention that the jade bracelet was an outsider with ulterior motives.

Therefore, when she first cheated the jade bracelet for a reward, she was more of a playful person and wanted to get the jade bracelet as well, but she did not rely too much on those "rewards".

To the extent that Yuzhu could never stand up straight in front of her, and was even driven to such a pulp by her that he became like a submissive little servant.

Who would have thought that after this jade bracelet disappeared for a period of time, when it reappeared, it would have completely changed its appearance?

This dark appearance... is really a bit weird and quite intimidating. Ning Chuchu muttered to herself as she looked at the jade bracelet.

"Tong, what happened to this jade bracelet? Why did its appearance change?" Ning Chuchu asked the system.

The system immediately popped up: "Host, I suddenly couldn't detect the movement of the jade bracelet since some time ago."

"According to my guess, he was probably doing some internal upgrade or repair, and he may have noticed what I did to him!"

"Really?" Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, and a solemn look flashed in her eyes. "No wonder this guy hasn't come out to cheat for a long time."

Before, the jade bracelet wanted to trick her into telling eight hundred lies a day in order to drain her luck, but now it has become cautious.

"Host, don't worry! I disguised my energy as your luck and transferred it into the body of the jade bracelet. Now the energy is still deep in the jade bracelet."

The system said proudly: "That inverted jade bracelet can't do anything to me!"

Ning Chuchu hit the nail on the head and asked, "Can you control him now?"

She still remembered that the system had come up with this plan in order to effortlessly control the outsider, the jade bracelet.

The system's voice instantly lowered, and it stammered, "This... is still a little bit off."

The system quickly tried to save face, "My method is definitely useful. Now my energy has filled most of the jade bracelet. It's only a matter of time before I can control it."

"He's just making a last-ditch effort now."

"However, because of this, you, the host, must be more careful." The system said in a serious voice, "I am worried that after I push the jade bracelet to its limit, it will use some unexpected tricks."

Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes dangerously.

Indeed, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, not to mention that the jade bracelet is not a harmless rabbit. Who knows if he will do something desperate? However...

"Garbage is garbage and will never be seen on stage." Ning Chuchu slowly chuckled coldly and arrogantly.

Faced with the strange changes of the jade bracelet, she was not frightened at all. Instead, she gracefully held up the hem of her skirt and got out of the car leisurely.

"Let's go and meet them." Ning Chuchu walked slowly in front of Yun Yiru with a calm and leisurely smile on her face.

At the same time, the bodyguards beside Ning Chuchu also stepped forward quickly, surrounded their employer, and stared at the strange woman in front of them vigilantly.

After many days, the former stepsisters met again, but everything had changed.

Ning Chuchu has completely shed the mask of gentleness and tenderness she once had, now she is as dazzling and charming as a rose in full bloom, exuding an aura of boldness and brightness.

As for her stepsister Yun Yirou...she went to the other extreme.

The once dignified and gentle lady from a wealthy family now looked like a savage. Not only was she dirty, but her expression was also evil, like a madman, with no trace of her former elegance.

Ning Chuchu looked at her quietly, feeling surprisingly calm, with neither a sense of saccharineness nor the arrogance of a winner.

She just looked at Yun Yirou coldly and asked, "What's the matter?"

The two of them were already people from two different worlds, and there was a world of difference between them from then on. Ning Chuchu was even too lazy to even give her a glance.

If it weren't for the strange jade bracelet on her wrist, Ning Chuchu wouldn't even get out of the car.

Ning Chuchu glanced at the black jade bracelet calmly, and her eyes finally fell on Yun Yiru's face.

Yun Yirou moved with a terrifying expression, as if she wanted to rush up and fight Ning Chuchu, but she was forced back by the bodyguards beside Ning Chuchu.

Looking at those burly bodyguards, Yun Yirou shrank her shoulders and dared not act rashly anymore. However, she still glared at Ning Chuchu with hatred and asked, "Ning Chuchu, do you have any conscience?! We have been a family for more than ten years, and you are so cruel that you want to send my mother to prison?!"

Hearing this, Ning Chuchu was slightly stunned, and looked at Yun Yirou in disbelief, then laughed angrily, "Family? You actually have the nerve to play the family card with me?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Ning Chuchu rolled her eyes and sneered.

She only knew that Yun Yirou was not very smart, but she didn't expect that this person didn't even have self-awareness.

Because of the grudge between her and the mother and daughter of the Yun family, she simply sent Yun Shu to prison instead of taking revenge privately. The mother and daughter of the Yun family should thank her for being a good citizen who abides by the rules and laws!

Yun Yirou was ruthlessly scolded by Ning Chuchu, and her face immediately turned red.

She wanted to open her mouth to criticize Ning Chuchu's cruel methods, but after meeting Ning Chuchu's cold eyes, she couldn't help but back off and slowly swallowed her words.

Yun Yirou subconsciously touched the left pocket of her shirt, and when she touched the recorder inside, her heart immediately calmed down.

Keep calm, she wants to keep calm.

It's not easy to meet Ning Chuchu, but she has other goals and can't miss the opportunity because of a momentary impulse.

Yun Yirou took a deep breath and wiped her eyes gently, but there was not a single tear in her eyes.

She lowered her head and said weakly, "Chu Chu, my mother is expected to spend 20 years in prison. Are you satisfied now?"

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows. She noticed Yun Yirou's strangeness, but she didn't take it to heart. She said casually, "Of course I am satisfied. Evil deeds will be punished. I applaud the fair laws of my country."

As she spoke, Ning Chuchu actually clapped her hands lightly, making Yun Yirou so angry that her face turned green.

She suppressed her anger and said in a soft voice, "Chu Chu, I know you hate my mother, and you especially hate me, but... Dad is innocent. He is sick now. Do you want to go back and see him?"

"Dad?" Ning Chuchu crossed her arms and asked with a half-smile, "Hongwu is sick? What does it have to do with me?"

Hongwu?

Yun Yirou was slightly stunned. After a long time, she suddenly reacted, and then she could no longer control her temper. She glared at Ning Chuchu and screamed, "That bastard is not my father! Don't talk nonsense!"

Ning Chuchu uttered a "tsk" and said leisurely and teasingly: "Blood is thicker than water, don't be so ruthless."

Yun Yiru's chest heaved violently with anger, until the bracelet on his left wrist flashed slightly, and she instantly regained her composure.

Yun Yirou lowered her voice and said seriously, "Chu Chu, no matter what, Dad is your blood relative. You didn't even want to go back to see him when he was sick. Don't you really hate him?"

Seeing Yun Yirou regain her composure in an instant as if her expression had changed, Ning Chuchu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she felt that there was something strange about her.

She didn't show it on her face, and replied calmly, "Shouldn't I hate him?"

Yun Yirou clenched her fists excitedly, but pretended to be surprised and sad, "Chu Chu, no matter what, Dad raised you, how can you be so heartless?"

Ning Chuchu sneered, "Why would you talk about conscience with a cheating scumbag?"

"Yun Yirou, if you really have nothing to do, just find a job as a street sweeper and stop staring at other people's lives every day. It's just right..." Ning Chuchu deliberately looked her up and down, and said with contempt, "You look so miserable now, why don't you hurry up and work to earn money?"

Yun Yi clenched her fists softly, but her face turned purple as she managed to hold back her temper.

She smiled stiffly and asked, "Chu Chu, so you will never forgive Dad?"

Ning Chuchu had a slight premonition in her heart and roughly knew what Yun Yiru wanted to do.

She curled her lips slightly and stated her attitude openly, "No."

Yun Yirou's eyes lit up instantly. She tried hard to suppress her nervous and lost expression and asked, "Then you won't take care of Dad in his later years?"

Ning Chuchu glanced at her coldly, "What the hell is it to you?"

Yun Yirou finally couldn't help but reveal a smug smile, "Ning Chuchu, you will regret it."

Then, Yun Yirou turned around instantly and ran away at an extremely fast speed.

Ning Chuchu: “……?”

She stared at Yun Yirou's running back, speechless for a long time.

"Ms. Ning, do you need us to take her down?" the bodyguard asked eagerly.

Ning Chuchu hesitated for a moment and shook her head slowly: "No, let's go back first."

After getting back in the car, Ning Chuchu held her forehead with one hand, frowned, and asked the system: "System, what exactly does Yun Yirou want to do with that jade bracelet?"

"I don't know. I can't monitor the situation of the jade bracelet now." The system was a little frustrated.

But he quickly calmed down, "Host, don't be afraid! I am sure that my energy has basically occupied the jade bracelet. If he dares to attack you, it will give me an opportunity to take advantage of you!"

"When the time comes, I will take him down in one fell swoop!" The system was full of ambition.

Ning Chuchu raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a cool and playful smile, "How could I be afraid?"

"I'm waiting for them to fall into my trap."

＊

Yun Yirou risked her life to stop the car, but she only said a bunch of incomprehensible words to Ning Chuchu and left in a hurry.

But she did not go back to the shabby house where she lived, but went to the most famous private hospital in the city.

"Please, let me in! I am Ning Guangzhong's daughter!" Yun Yiru begged a bodyguard outside the ward.

The bodyguard said coldly: "Mr. Ning said that he only has one daughter."

What he meant was that he didn't acknowledge Yun Yirou as his cheap daughter.

Yun Yiro gritted her teeth, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.

Ever since Yunshu was exposed by Ning Chuchu on her birthday, she and her mother were kicked out of the Ning family.

Once she fell from being a rich lady, Yun Yirou was in a daze when she received the sad news that her mother was imprisoned.

With nowhere else to turn, she could only come to Ning Guangzhong. After all, they had been father and daughter for more than ten years, and she didn't believe that Ning Guangzhong would be so cruel!

Moreover, thinking of the "evidence" in her pocket, Yun Yirou became more confident, "I have something about Ning Chuchu in my hand, can you tell me about it?"

Hearing Ning Chuchu's name, the bodyguard hesitated for a moment and turned into the ward.

After a while, the door of the ward opened to Yun Yirou.

Yun Yirou should have been surprised by this, but she felt very uncomfortable.

Why did Ning Guangzhong adamantly refuse to see her, but suddenly change his mind after hearing her mention Ning Chuchu?

Yun Yirou felt upset when she thought that she had to rely on Ning Chuchu to see her father.

In the ward, Ning Guangzhong was half lying on the bed handling official business. He was thin and pale, and his illness had indeed seriously damaged his vitality.

Seeing this, Yun Yirou immediately put away the resentment on her face, walked quickly to his bed, and said in a sweet and sensible way: "Dad, how are you? I'm here to see you."

Ning Guangzhong didn't even raise his head and said coldly: "I'm not your father."

Yun Yirou's face froze. She wanted to coax him again, but Ning Guangzhong urged her impatiently, "You said you have something related to Chuchu? What is it?"

Ning Guangzhong obviously wanted to know about his daughter as soon as possible and then send Yun Yirou away.

No matter how unhappy Yun Yirou was, she could only get straight to the point.

She took out a recorder from her pocket, handed it to Ning Guangzhong with an embarrassed and sad face, and said, "Dad, I saw Chuchu today. She has made up her mind to break off relations with you. I am afraid that your fatherly love will be misplaced, so..."

Ning Guangzhong looked at the recorder in her hand, staring at her with cold eyes.

For all these years, his stepdaughter has been doing things like this now, always setting traps for his daughter, right?

It's a pity that he was so blind that he let his own daughter suffer for such an ungrateful person.

Yun Yirou felt very uncomfortable with Ning Guangzhong's cold gaze and began to avoid his gaze.

Ning Guangzhong finally took the recorder from her hand and pressed play.

Ning Chuchu's voice echoed in the quiet ward.

When Ning Guangzhong heard Ning Chuchu say that she would never forgive him, his face turned even paler.

As for Yun Yirou's question about whether she would support him in his old age, Ning Chuchu's answer was still "no", and her tone and speed were exactly the same as the previous question.

Ning Guangzhong covered his face in pain.

Yun Yirou secretly curled the corners of her lips.

Although Ning Chuchu did not directly answer her question about raising Ning Guangzhong, but... the audio can be edited.

Seeing Ning Guangzhong fall into silence, Yun Yirou put on the attitude of a filial daughter and said, "Dad, Chuchu doesn't understand you, and I feel sad too."

"Don't worry, you raised me to this age, I can't be as heartless as Chuchu, I will definitely take good care of you." Yun Yirou said softly, "Dad, you are not in good health now, let me stay and take care of you..."

Yun Yirou worked hard for a long time, and this was her goal.

It doesn’t matter that Ning Guangzhong doesn’t want to acknowledge her as his cheap stepdaughter now.

As long as he can see one fact clearly - that he cannot rely on Ning Chuchu, his biological daughter, then he will naturally turn to think of her, his caring daughter.

All the wrong things were done by her mother, but she is innocent!

Besides, she and Ning Guangzhong had been father and daughter for more than ten years, and he loved her so much, even more than Ning Chuchu. Yun Yirou didn't believe that Ning Guangzhong would be so ruthless!

As long as he can see Ning Chuchu's true face, and when he gives up on his own biological daughter, won't he only be able to rely on her?

Yun Yirou was so excited that she held her breath and waited quietly for Ning Guangzhong's reaction.

Ning Guangzhong covered his face and remained silent for a while. When he raised his head again, his eyes were red and he stared at Yun Yirou coldly, "How dare you say that my daughter has no conscience?"

Yun Yirou was stunned, "But...she doesn't even recognize you as her father anymore."

"So what?" Ning Guangzhong snorted coldly, "As long as I recognize her as my daughter, that's all."

Yun Yirou looked at Ning Guangzhong in disbelief. How could there be such a stupid person? Seeing that his daughter was no longer reliable, he still wanted to throw himself at her?

She thought that after she tricked Ning Chuchu into telling the truth, she would be able to destroy her father-daughter relationship with Ning Guangzhong in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect... Ning Guangzhong didn't care about his daughter's rebellion at all?

Is it true that Ning Chuchu will not be disliked no matter what truth she tells?

This is outrageous!

While Yun Yirou was feeling indignant, Ning Guangzhong spoke again, "If you really want to take care of me, it's not impossible."

Yun Yirou's eyes lit up, as if she saw a turning point.

Ning Guangzhong smiled and said, "But... all my assets have been transferred to Chuchu's name. I am now managing the Ning family company on behalf of Chuchu, and I only get a fixed salary every month."

"If you want to take care of me, you might have to pay for it."

Yun Yirou's breathing stagnated, and she asked in disbelief, "You... transferred all the assets to Ning Chuchu?"

"yes."

"You're crazy!" Yun Yirou screamed.

She finally revealed her true face, glared at Ning Guangzhong fiercely, and slammed the door and left after a while.

Ning Guangzhong looked at her back and looked away indifferently.

He looked at the recorder in his hand and pressed the play button again.

Every time he heard Ning Chuchu's ruthless answer, it was as if a sharp knife was stabbing into his heart.

But he listened to it again and again.

He really wanted to hear his daughter's voice. After all...she wouldn't even answer his calls now.

＊

After rushing out of the ward, Yun Yirou ran for a long distance before stopping panting.

She squatted on the side of the road, looking blankly at her feet, completely at a loss.

What should she do? Will she continue to live in poverty?

At this moment, the jade bracelet on her left wrist flashed slightly, and then a familiar voice rang in her mind.

"I've said it before, you can't beat the heroine."

"That cunning and vicious woman even deceived me!" Thinking of the experience of being toyed with by Ning Chuchu some time ago, Yuzhuo gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Yun Yirou just stared blankly and did not respond to the jade bracelet.

"Hey, have you thought about my previous suggestion?" Yuzhuo lowered his voice and said, "You said you wanted to try to redeem yourself, so I let you try, and even spent energy to help you edit the audio, but you still failed."

"So... still cooperate with me?"

Hearing this, Yun Yirou shuddered suddenly and immediately refused: "No... No!"

Yun Yirou said cautiously: "You want me to sacrifice all my luck for the rest of my life to fight with you... This is impossible!"

Yun Yirou hugged herself and murmured, "Before, you only took away a part of my luck, and I was unlucky for a long time, and almost lost my life."

"If all my luck is gone..." Yun Yirou couldn't help trembling when she thought of the consequences, "I will die."

"I will definitely die!"

"Tsk." Yuzhuo said unhappily, "You won't die!"

After a pause, he added: "As long as we succeed, you will not die."

Yun Yirou was smart for once, "So, if I fail, I will die...right?"

Yuzhuo was silent for a moment, avoiding the topic and instead asked, "But are you willing to live a life of poverty?"

"Ning Chuchu is a big star with unlimited glory, but you have to wash dishes to eat." Every word of Yuzhuo pierced Yun Yirou's heart, "Are you willing to accept this?"

"Besides, as a lady from a wealthy family, is it interesting for you to live this kind of life?"

"Are you willing to endure such an ordinary life?"

"So... why not fight with me?"

"Once you succeed, a smooth road ahead will be waiting for you!"

Listening to Yu Zhuo's inflammatory words, Yun Yirou's breathing gradually became rapid, and fierce struggle and hesitation flashed in her eyes.

＊

Ever since Yun Yirou suddenly appeared that day, although Ning Chuchu didn't take this trapped woman seriously, she also hired someone to keep an eye on her secretly.

Even though the system had assured her that the jade bracelet would not cause any trouble, Ning Chuchu still decided to be cautious.

She even thought about controlling Yun Yirou directly, but the system stopped her seriously.

According to the system, they should give the jade bracelet a chance to explode and cause trouble.

If Yun Yiru is dealt with directly, what if he simply gives up this "host" and uses other means?

After much deliberation, Ning Chuchu decided to follow the system's advice and wait and see.

Therefore, Ning Chuchu asked someone to keep an eye on Yun Yiru, so that she would be able to know immediately if there was any unusual movement on her part.

When the filming of "Hunter" was nearing completion, Ning Chuchu rushed to record "My Brothers and Sisters".

Before she left, she was still wondering, without the brother and sister Yi Jun and Yi Wen, who would the program production team invite to fill their places?

Then she saw Pei Wang and Pei Xingyan on the day of recording.

Ning Chuchu: “…”

Pei Wang greeted her warmly, "Chu Chu!"

Ning Chuchu looked at him in confusion: "Why are you here?"

Pei Wang leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You should know, right? Xingyan's parents wanted him to find a date, so they forced him to participate in the romance variety show."

"Now, they all think you are great, so please let me give you more opportunities to spend time with each other."

"You helped me so much before, I also want to bring you and Xingyan together."

"So, I brought Xingyan along!" Pei Wang laughed heartily.

Ning Chuchu subconsciously wanted to see Pei Xingyan, but unexpectedly met Xie Jinqiu's eyes.

Ning Chuchu: “…”

She looked at Pei Wang with a fake smile and asked, "You also know that I helped you a lot, right?"

Pei Wang nodded blankly.

Ning Chuchu: "Is this how you repay kindness with enmity?"

Pei Wang: “…”
