Chapter 24 Another melon
At the end of the day, Wen Yue had earned a total of 620,000 melon points.
But Wen Yue was a little disappointed. She had originally imagined that the melon points would exceed 2 million, and the system would be able to open another partition, but in the end, there was nothing.
It was a pity that she stayed up until the early morning before going to bed.
Stay up? She actually used the word "stay up"?
You know, before she traveled through time, she was a night owl. Going to bed at 12 o'clock was considered early, and falling asleep at two or three o'clock was not a big deal. Because she was about to graduate and go to internship, she tried to adjust her work and rest schedule several times, but all ended in failure.
Originally, she thought that after officially becoming a social animal, she would be exhausted during the day, and she might not be in the mood to check her phone at night, and her work and rest schedule would automatically adjust.
But she didn't expect that she was already dressed before going to work, and she was wearing the clothes of a rich girl who didn't have to work.
But the 1990s were not like 30 years later. At that time, mobile phones only had two functions: making calls and sending text messages. There were a lot of TV programs, but the picture quality was too poor for Wen Yue, and she didn't like to watch it.
She didn't like to go to the club like the contemporary young people in Hong Kong. She had nothing to do at night, so she had to go to bed early. Gradually, her schedule was adjusted. Now she is so sleepy even at dawn.
Is this probably a small gift from time travel?
Before falling asleep, this thought flashed through Wen Yue's mind.
Because she slept late the day before, Wen Yue almost missed breakfast the next day. She washed up and rushed downstairs, and found Yi Huai still asking in surprise: "You haven't gone to work yet?"
"I'm going now." Yi Huai asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Yes, I stayed up all night. I'll go back to my room to make up for it later."
Yi Huai responded and got up and left the restaurant.
Wen Yue's breakfast was Hong Kong style. She ate noodles with a lot of fish balls and seafood. The soup was thick and fresh. She ate a bowl and felt it was not enough, so she asked the kitchen to add another bowl.
After eating and drinking, Wen Yue returned to the room to check her melon-eating value again.
This was incredible. Just this morning, she had increased her melon-eating value by nearly 100,000.
Don't think that 100,000 melon-eating value is too little. If she reveals a melon, the melon-eating value she gets in the first three days is 80% or 90% of the total melon-eating value, then the melon-eating value obtained on the first day can also account for more than 80% of the melon-eating value in the first three days.
So in Wen Yue's default, the melon-eating value she can earn on the second day will not exceed 100,000, and now she has completed the goal for the whole day in the morning. How can it be said that this is not a pleasant surprise?
Wen Yue asked the system: [How did I increase my melon-eating value so much this morning? ]
[According to inquiries, after the "Dongjiang Entertainment News" was released yesterday, major media in Hong Kong began to follow up and report on this matter. The "Entertainment Daily" issued this morning even gave it a front-page headline, using a lot of space to report Zheng Yanze's reaction after learning about this matter. 】
"Entertainment Daily" is a free newspaper like the current "Dongjiang Entertainment News", but the former has a much longer history of being free and is also more famous. It is one of the three major entertainment newspapers in Hong Kong.
In fact, looking at the circulation alone, the current "Dongjiang Entertainment News" is not much worse than "Entertainment Daily", and the latter's circulation is only 100,000.
But let's not talk about the fact that the former can only sell 100,000 copies when there is a big news. Just saying that the latter is a daily newspaper can beat "Dongjiang Entertainment News" by several blocks.
New newspapers are available every day in major newspaper stalls in Hong Kong, and "Entertainment Daily" is always the first to sell out. The newspaper has more pages, and one copy can be read for a long time. It is also free, so everyone is naturally willing to take it.
Entertainment Daily has many loyal readers. As soon as their newspaper published related reports, Wen Yue's melon-eating value would naturally usher in a big increase.
After hearing this, Wen Yue remembered the melon of the real and fake young master. In fact, if she only relied on Dongjiang Entertainment Daily, it would be difficult for her to get more than 1.2 million melon-eating value even if the melon exploded.
It was later that major Hong Kong media continued to follow up and report on it. After the initial news heat passed, the melon-eating value she could obtain ushered in several small peaks of growth.
From this perspective, although leading all Hong Kong media to eat melons together will threaten the development of the newspaper company, it is actually more beneficial than harmful for her who wants to earn melon-eating value.
In addition, if each melon can drive so many media to report together, then the upper limit of her melon-eating value may be adjusted up a lot.
After figuring out the reason, Wen Yue asked: [How much melon-eating value do I have now? ]
The system reported a number, which was just over two million.
Wen Yue thought for a moment and said: [Exchange it for 1,000 days of life value for me. ]
The surprise came too suddenly, and the system spoke more cordially: [Are you sure you want to exchange it for 1,000 days of life value? ]
[OK. ]
[Okay, I have exchanged 1,000 days of life value for you, and your melon-eating value balance is 690,500. ]
When she came to this world, Wen Yue had only 30 days of life left. Now more than half a month has passed, plus she has exchanged 1,100 days of life value last time, which means she can live for another three years on an annual basis.
It's not long, but Wen Yue is already very satisfied, after all, she has been here for less than a month.
At this rate, she will be able to achieve her wish of living a long life in less than two years. Congratulations!
...
While Wen Yue was happy, the Zheng family was in a mess.
Although Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanhai did not want Zheng Xingguo and his wife to know about their affair, Zheng Yanze and Chen Jiajun did not have so many concerns. The old couple of the Zheng family knew about it that morning.
Zheng Xingguo is 61 years old this year, which is not particularly old, but he does not smoke or drink, and likes to eat big meat. He was diagnosed with three highs after he got older, and his heart was not very good.
When Zheng Xingguo learned that his eldest daughter-in-law and his youngest son were having an affair, he fainted at the time. Thanks to the medical team hired by his family, he was saved in time. .
Mrs. Zheng and her husband have been through thick and thin together, and unlike some wealthy men who welcome mistresses home after getting rich, she has been alone for so many years, and the two have a deep relationship.
Seeing her husband fainted from anger, Mrs. Zheng was still relatively calm at the time, and she quickly called a doctor, and did not calm down until her husband was out of danger.
But Mrs. Zheng did not calm down for a few minutes, and when she saw Feng Wenfang, she could not help it, and rushed up to slap her already swollen face several times.
The other members of the Zheng family did not dare to stop when they saw it.
To be precise, it was Zheng Yanhai who did not dare to stop. Zheng Yanze and Chen Jiajun did not even think of stopping them. Chen Jiajun even hoped that Feng Wenfang would be beaten harder.
Although Chen Jiajun didn't know her husband was having an affair with her eldest sister-in-law when she cheated on Zheng Yanze, she felt that if Zheng Yanhai hadn't been obsessed with Feng Wenfang and hadn't gone out with her every now and then, she wouldn't have gotten drunk and climbed into her uncle's bed that night, leading to the situation she is in today.
So she hated Feng Wenfang in her heart and had long thought about tearing her face off with him, but she was not clean either, and she was afraid that if she made a big fuss, she would have endured it.
Now that the affair between the two has been exposed, Feng Wenfang has been beaten up by her mother-in-law, and not applauding in front of her is her greatest kindness.
In short, although the three had different ideas, they all chose to stand by and watch Feng Wenfang get beaten.
Feng Wenfang didn't get beaten all the time.
At first, she didn't fight back when Zheng Tai hit her because she was concerned about her status as the mother-in-law, and because she was indeed to blame for the affair.
But after being slapped a few times, Feng Wenfang was unhappy. She felt that she was not the only one who made a mistake, so why did Zheng Tai hit her and not Zheng Yanhai?
To be honest, what was the big deal of her, a childless daughter-in-law, cheating? If the cheating target was not another son of the Zheng family, would Zheng Xingguo be so angry?
So in this matter, Feng Wenfang felt that Zheng Yanhai's mistake was more serious, and Zheng Tai should at least beat Zheng Yanhai before beating her.
But she was fine, just like her younger son did nothing wrong, she was the only one who was punished, what was her basis?
Feng Wenfang was not happy, so she started to fight back, pushed Mrs. Zheng away and said: "I tell you, damn old woman, if you dare to hit me again, I will fight back!"
Hearing the four words "damn old woman", Mrs. Zheng was simply furious, rushed up and grabbed Feng Wenfang's hair, slapping her and cursing: "You slut! You even seduced your brother-in-law, and you dare to call me an old woman! I will beat you to death!"
Feng Wenfang couldn't bear it anymore, and fought back and cursed: "Who seduced your son, damn old woman! It was obviously him who seduced me!"
After fighting with her mother-in-law, Feng Wenfang was completely let go. She
had to let him go. After today's series of events, she finally understood that after this incident, her marriage with Zheng Yanze could no longer be maintained.
The result was divorce anyway, so why should she be so humble! Of course, she would make anyone who didn't make her happy unhappy. Are
n't you going to divorce me? Okay, I agree, but it's impossible for me to leave the house cleanly. You have to give me money.
Originally, for a family like theirs, an agreement had to be signed for marriage, but the Zheng and Feng families were partners, or the Zheng family was the supplier of the Feng family.
In order to show their sincerity, the two did not sign any marriage agreement.
Although Zheng Yanze has no shares, he has a lot of real estate under his name. The salary he gets from work, the shares issued by the family foundation, some of his own investments and the money his parents give him add up to a lot of monthly income.
Although Hong Kong's marriage law protects personal property, if there is a real lawsuit, he doesn't have to share much money with Feng Wenfang. But he has money to hire a lawyer, and Feng Wenfang also has money. It's hard to say how much they will share if the lawsuit really comes.
The Zheng family and the Feng family are still partners. Even if they want to be stingy, they can't really offend anyone.
But when Zheng Yanze thought about Feng Wenfang cheating on him, he didn't want to pay a penny. Not only did he not want to pay, he also wanted Feng Wenfang to compensate him for mental damages.
So the two of them started arguing.
After the quarrel, Feng Wenfang packed her things and went directly to the guest room, and threatened that if the Zheng family did not give her a satisfactory answer, she would not divorce and move out of the Zheng family. Feng
Wenfang refused to leave, but what was even more annoying was that she was restless even when she stayed. She ran out even though she knew that there were reporters outside the Zheng family. Running out
would be fine, but she complained to the reporter with bruises on her face, saying that the Zheng family did not treat their daughter-in-law as a human being, and her husband would beat and scold her every now and then. She really couldn't stand this torture, so she sought comfort from outside. The reporter asked
why she didn't have any injuries on her body before? She lied without blinking and said that Zheng Yanze used to be cautious when beating people, and specifically chose places that could be covered by clothes. This time, after her extramarital affair was exposed, he completely stopped pretending and hit her in the face.
She also said that she was going to get her injuries examined, and if the Zheng family didn't give her a satisfactory answer, she would go to court to sue Zheng Yanze.
Wen Yue was also stunned when she learned about this.
It's not that she thinks Feng Wenfang is wrong. If a person doesn't take care of himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth
. Now that they have fallen out, of course she has to consider herself. That's right, Feng Wenfang is a rich girl after all, and it's unexpected that she can lose face like this.
But having said that, although Wen Yue doesn't like Feng Wenfang very much, she has to say that she did a good job, and asked the system with a smile: [The Zheng family must be in chaos now, right? 】
【Zheng Yanze was almost mad. He originally wanted Feng Wenfang to leave the house, but now he has given up hope and plans to negotiate peacefully to stop Feng Wenfang from going to the hospital for injury examination and suing. 】
【Did he stop it successfully? 】
【No, Mrs. Zheng was very angry after knowing this. She asked Zheng Yanze if he had ever beaten his wife before. Zheng Yanze said no, and said that he would never compromise and would sue Feng Wenfang. 】
【This...】 Wen Yue's expression was difficult to judge. 【He had never beaten Feng Wenfang before, but he hit him yesterday, right? 】
【He did, but Mrs. Zheng said that he hit her yesterday because Feng Wenfang cheated and she deserved a beating. 】
This Mrs. Zheng... doesn't sound very smart.
Wen Yue asked: [What was Zheng Yanze's reaction? ]
[He was a little reluctant, but was suppressed by his mother. He now plans to accept an interview with reporters to clarify that he has no tendency to domestic violence. ]
Wen Yue hurried back to the room, sat on the bed and said: [Quick, quick, quick, connect the broadcast to me! ]
[Okay. ]
The system quickly connected to the broadcast, and the screen first showed the scorching sun, and then the camera pressed down a little bit, and dozens of reporters carrying long guns and short guns appeared in the camera.
Wen Yue said with emotion: "Co-founder, your video is very realistic. If you don't know, you would really think it was recorded."
[This is recorded. ] The system said.
"Is it really recorded?"
[Yeah.
Wen Yue didn't ask who recorded it. Although the system she was tied to was a little naive, the evidence she could get from it showed how powerful the main system was. Those
things were in another dimension for her. It was useless for her to understand them clearly. It would be better to focus on gaining the value of eating melons.
As for now, she focused her attention on the broadcast video and commented: "Don't people in Hong Kong like development press conferences? The Zheng family is also a wealthy family, why are they accepting interviews at the door?"
【Maybe... I learned it from you, the host?】
Wen Yue: "..."
During the question and answer, Zheng Yanze, who was standing at the door of his house to be interviewed, took a move - he took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket, and lowered his head to wipe it.
Zheng Yanze... he actually cried!
Looking at the man in the video crying and telling how sad and desperate he was after finding out that he was cuckolded, Wen Yue sighed and said, "I really shouldn't watch the live broadcast of such a hypocritical man."
【Then dear, do you still want to continue watching?】
"Turn it off, just broadcast it to me."
【Okay. 】
Zheng Yanze's next words were nothing special. In the half-hour interview, he either said that he had never committed domestic violence and that he had assaulted Feng Wenfang because he was too sad, or he recalled the sweetness of their marriage and how much he cried after learning the truth.
To put it bluntly, the central idea can be summed up in two words - selling out!
However, there is an interesting point in this interview. After Zheng Yanze sold out his misery, a reporter asked: "Mr. Zheng, you just talked about how much you cried because of your wife's betrayal, but you didn't mention the other protagonist of the cheating incident. Mr. Zheng, do you mind that your brother cheated on you?"
Zheng Yanze said that he didn't mind that his brother cheated on him. No one knew about it, but everyone present could see that Zheng Yanze's face turned green after hearing the reporter's question.
After listening to the systematic narration, Wen Yue couldn't help but applaud and laugh: "What a talent! Who is this reporter? I'll talk to Huang Zhihao someday and see if I can dig him over."
[The reporter's name is Xu Kaiwen, from Entertainment Daily. He was the main writer of the front-page headline this morning.]
[Okay, I'll remember him. 】
After the unremitting efforts of Feng Wenfang and Zheng Yanze, the plastic couple, Wen Yue's melon-eating value reached several small peaks that day. After counting in the evening, she actually gained 350,000 melon-eating value.
On the third day, when the morning newspaper was released, the growth rate of melon-eating value climbed a low slope again.
This time it was really a low slope. By the third day, people who were used to subscribing to newspapers had basically read the relevant news, and those who liked to talk about gossip had already talked about this melon over and over again, and it was difficult for new people to join the discussion.
So on this day, Wen Yue only gained more than 85,000 melon-eating value.
It was also on this night that Wen Yue's melon-eating value balance exceeded one million again.
After breaking through the one million melon-eating value, Wen Yue was not in a hurry to redeem her life value. At present, her life value balance is sufficient. It is worth saving more melons, so as not to encounter danger later and want to buy life-saving skills without money.
On the fourth day, which is Friday.
This day is the day when the "Dongjiang Entertainment News" is on the market.
Although they have already published an issue of the newspaper on Tuesday, it has not been interrupted on this day. Of course, even if it is interrupted, Wen Yue will ask Huang Zhihao to arrange a new issue because she wants to expose the news.
The new report was still written by Huang Zhihao.
Huang Zhihao has been in the industry so far, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen many storms, but when he saw the photo of Zheng Yanze and Chen Jiajun together, he couldn't help but burst his three views.
This can be seen from the title he drafted-Shock!!! The Zheng family not only has uncles and sisters-in-law, but also uncles and younger brothers and sisters-in-law! ! !
From the perspective of a journalist, Wen Yue feels that this title has no technical content.
Well, although the previous shocking title did not use much text skills, it is still better than this title, so Huang Zhihao himself was not very satisfied with the title.
But Wen Yue thinks this title is very good.
It doesn’t matter if there is no skill, this title contains all emotions! It makes people curious at a glance.
The effect of the new issue of the newspaper after it was launched is indeed good. Just after getting up, Wen Yue’s melon-eating value exceeded 200,000, and this data is still rising at an alarming rate.
When Wen Yue went downstairs to eat, the melon-eating value had exceeded 300,000.
Of course, it is not appropriate to attribute all the credit to the title. Wen Yue thinks that the reason why the growth rate is so fast is mainly because of the linkage with the previous melon.
The consequence of the collision of two exploding melons is naturally a storm of melon-eating value.
This time, the whole of Hong Kong is really eating melons.
When Wen Yue went downstairs to eat, Feng Wenfang also knew about this.
Although Feng Wenfang was particularly arrogant when she spoke in front of the Zheng family, she was still very cherishing her life. After going to the hospital to check her injuries and then going to the court to file a lawsuit, she returned to her parents' home, for fear that the Zheng family would force her to kill her.
In fact, she didn't want to go back to her parents' home. Not long after the scandal broke out, she received a call from her mother, blaming her for having a good life but cheating like others.
Cheating is fine, can't you find someone else? You have to find your brother-in-law.
Finding a brother-in-law is fine, but you should be sneaky when having an affair! Why take photos! Now, her parents don’t know how to help her get away with it.
Feng Wenfang couldn’t refute the first two things, but she really felt it was unfair to take photos. She is not mentally ill, how could she take photos knowing that she was cheating? Not to mention that there are two half-exposed bed photos.
She must be crazy to take such photos!
But when her mother asked her if she didn’t take the photos and where the photos came from, she couldn’t answer and could only put the blame on Zheng Yanhai.
But her mother is different from Mrs. Zheng. After the scandal broke out, Mrs. Zheng would put the blame on her, but her mother would only blame her for being careless and unable to control herself.
In addition, the Feng family had complicated relationships, and people from different rooms lived together. She would definitely be ridiculed when she returned.
Her father was also very dissatisfied with her, thinking that her debauchery brought shame to him.
With all these reasons piled up, Feng Wenfang certainly didn't want to live at home.
But after offending the Zheng family so much, she really didn't dare to live outside. Going home would only bring shame, and she might even lose her life if she stayed outside.
So no matter how unwilling she was, she still returned home in disgrace after leaving the court.
In order to avoid being ridiculed, she would not leave her room unless her parents called her after returning home, and servants would bring her breakfast, lunch, and dinner to her room.
Normally, Feng Wenfang, who was curled up in her room, should be slow to accept the news, but who made her have a room full of brothers and sisters who were so lively.
The Feng family did not subscribe to entertainment newspapers before, thinking it was low-class.
But after the news of Feng Wenfang's affair with her uncle was exposed, the Feng family subscribed to entertainment newspapers, and even ordered several copies at a time, and specifically instructed the servants to deliver the newspapers to the door of each room after receiving them.
Of course, Father Feng didn't have it, but every day when the second wife opened the door, she would see a newspaper on the floor reporting her daughter's scandal.
The second wife was furious!
But she didn't dare to speak out. She hoped that her husband would forget the scandal her daughter had done, so she could only secretly check who put the newspaper there. But it was useless to find out who put it there. The Feng family was still ruled by the eldest wife, and the old woman would not agree to let her fire the person.
The second wife usually didn't read this newspaper. She wanted to tear the newspaper to pieces, so how could she read it?
But before she tore it today, she saw the name of the newspaper first, and knew that it was the first newspaper to break the news of her daughter's cheating. Instead, she was cautious and didn't dare to tear it up. She opened the newspaper and read it.
You don't know until you see it. After reading it, the second wife was simply overjoyed.
If it were normal, the second wife would certainly be unhappy if she knew that her son-in-law had cheated on her, but wasn't it her daughter who made the mistake first? If both of them made mistakes, then no one is wrong.
With this idea in mind, the second wife knocked on Feng Wenfang's door.
Feng Wenfang was not happy at all after seeing the newspaper, and even flew into a rage!
You are so good, Zheng Yanze!
When I broke the scandal, you were so angry and beat me to death, and I thought you were so clean and righteous! As a result, you have already hooked up with Chen Jiajun, the wife of your younger brother!
Thinking of how she was beaten black and blue before and how she was blamed by her family, Feng Wenfang was so angry that her lungs were about to explode!
She quickly changed her clothes, grabbed the newspaper and rushed out of the room. When the second wife saw her, she asked her where she was going. She turned around and said viciously, "I'm going to settle accounts with Zheng Yanze!"
She swore she would not be a human being until she beat that bastard Zheng Yanze into a pig head!
