Chapter 21: Yan Yan is sorry to her mother
"Huh, it's still 0? What kind of freaks are these? I've been trying so hard to win them over, but their affection level hasn't increased at all."
Feng Ran sighed softly, "This is simply a disgrace to my career as a strategist. I don't know how my colleagues will laugh at me when I get back."
Feng Ran is a top-notch strategist in the quick transmigration game, traveling through various mission worlds every day to seduce male protagonists and fix plots. However, this beast world is simply her Waterloo.
Three years ago, they detected that the world of a beast-themed novel was on the verge of collapse. Originally, the male protagonists would have a happy ending with the female protagonist after getting tired of the female supporting character. However, for some reason, the male protagonists continued to maintain a happy life with the female supporting character, causing the main couple's romantic relationship to make no progress.
Therefore, Feng Ran was assigned to the world of books to correct the course of the story.
The timing of her transmigration was perfect; it happened to be the year the female supporting character faked her death. Although she didn't remember such a plot point in the original book, she immediately fabricated a lie for Lu Xiao, telling him that Nan Jiao's accident was because she was eloping with her lover, and that Nan Jiao had long been tired of him because she thought his past was dishonorable and that he was uncultured.
[This world is an SSS-level scenario, belonging to the difficult level. It's normal to encounter obstacles. Please keep a calm mindset and play it carefully!]
Hearing the system's evasive words, Feng Ran scoffed.
"You're a useless system; you've never said anything useful."
The system was silent when suddenly a bodyguard ran over: "Princess, something terrible has happened! Young Master Lu is destroying the house again! You'd better go and take a look!"
"That brat..." Feng Ran sighed and hurried to the hotel where she was staying temporarily.
The hotel owner stood at the door, looking inside with a horrified expression.
Lu Yanyan was extremely destructive. In just a few minutes, he dismantled all the tables and chairs, and even broke a large hole in the ceiling. It was unclear how he even climbed up there.
Feng Ran glanced at the hotel owner with sympathy and gave him a string of numbers: "This is the contact information for the brat's father. Go and claim compensation from him."
Lu Yanyan was sitting on the floor, holding a disassembled teapot in his hand. His eyes were red, and he was clearly very emotionally unstable.
Before walking over, Feng Ran sprayed some perfume on herself. It was a perfume she had redeemed from the mall, one that could instantly create a sense of intimacy. Years ago, after Nan Jiao left, Lu Yanyan resisted anyone's advances, and it was precisely this perfume that won over this little devil.
Because Lu Yanyan resisted everyone except Feng Ran, the busy Lu Xiao could only ask Feng Ran to take care of Yanyan.
"Demolishing the house" is Lu Yanyan's way of venting his emotions. No one can change this habit of his. Since no one is hurt, Lu Xiao can only hire two more architects for the house.
Feng Ran slowly squatted down, and sure enough, Lu Yanyan smelled the perfume on her body, and his emotions gradually calmed down.
"Yan Yan, why did you tear down the room again? This isn't our house, it's someone else's hotel."
"My dad will compensate them."
Feng Ran asked again, "What's wrong, little ancestor? What's making you unhappy again?"
Yan Yan looked up, his snow-white face clearly marked with tear tracks. He choked back sobs, like a wounded young animal: "I miss my mother. I want to go find her..."
Feng Ran paused, then looked at him seriously: "Yan Yan, have you forgotten what I said? Your mother has a new child here, and she can't tolerate you anymore. Are you a bad child? Are you going to ruin her wonderful life?"
Lu Yanyan quickly shook her head: "Yanyan is not a bad child, Yanyan hopes that Mommy is happy..."
His eyes reddened again after he finished speaking.
Feng Ran took out a photo she had secretly taken of Nan Jiao holding Kang Kang and handed it to her: "Yan Yan, look, your mother has a new family and a new child. Let's not bother her anymore, okay?"
Lu Yanyan shed even more tears, looking pitiful.
He looked up, hiccuping as he cried, and asked, "Auntie, does Mom really hate Yan Yan?"
Looking into his clear, big eyes, Feng Ran suppressed the pangs of conscience and repeatedly told herself that the person in front of her was just a fictional character, a character in a book, and that she was only doing this to complete a mission.
"...Yes, because your mother almost didn't survive childbirth when you were born. In a way, you're a murderer. Think about it, how could an orc possibly like the cub that almost killed him?"
"Waaah..." Lu Yanyan hugged the photo of Nan Jiao and Kang Kang: "Yanyan is really a bad child. Yanyan didn't mean to hurt Mommy. Yanyan is sorry, Mommy..."
Feng Ran patted his shoulder, unable to bear looking him in the eye: "Because she hates you, the only way we can make amends is to not get in her way, not disturb her current stable and happy life, and not provoke her to recall her bad past experiences. Do you understand, Yan Yan?"
Lu Yanyan nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Oh, right... Yan Yan can't tell your dad about what I told him, okay? He doesn't want you to know because he's worried you'll feel guilty. But Auntie knows Yan Yan is a good child, and you definitely wouldn't want to see your mother continue to suffer..."
Yan Yan nodded, her voice still childish: "Um...we made a pinky promise, I won't betray Auntie."
Feng Ran felt conflicted, and patted his head: "Good boy..."

Nan Jiao locked herself in her room for a long time, and only came out after her emotions had calmed down a bit.
Footsteps came from downstairs, and Nan Jiao immediately looked up.
The moment she recognized Qi Han, she froze for a moment, then said casually, "Brother Qi Han, what brings you here?"
Qi Han saw her red eyes and his heart stirred. He wondered if his decision to cooperate with Feng Ran was the right one.
Even a gentle male like Qi Han has a competitive spirit. When Lu Xiao knocked out one of his teeth, he was extremely humiliated, and a seed of "revenge" was planted from that moment.
Lu Xiao looked down on him and humiliated him. So what if he was a ninth-tier beastman? He would make him pay the price!
But seeing Nan Jiao's dejected appearance, he began to reflect on whether what he had done was right or wrong.
Is it really right to use such despicable means to get close to the female you like?
"Let's talk while we sit down." Seeing his silence, Nan Jiao led him into the living room. It was only after walking this distance that she noticed many of Lu Xiao's belongings were missing.
Nan Jiao then ran to the guest rooms at the end of the road, and unsurprisingly, they were empty as well.
Qi Han cleared his throat, his face momentarily unnatural: "...Jiaojiao, don't be too sad. He must have moved out on his own. He probably left because he felt embarrassed."
A puzzled voice came from the side: "But we didn't see Brother Lu go upstairs..."
