The 120th melon
12 o'clock at night
When Lin Cha heard the alarm at 12 o'clock, he felt his whole body relax and the compulsive force of the system disappeared.
But some things can no longer be undone.
"The hero and heroine will definitely be together!" The system finally appeared, annoyingly displaying a ball of light visible only to Lin Cha, floating beside her. "I'm a veteran system who has carried out hundreds of missions. This little thing won't faze me!"
Lin Cha couldn't understand, "Do you really have to let Lin Churou succeed?"
"It's not that she has to succeed, but every small world created by a novel must have a protagonist," the system said slowly. "The story revolves around the protagonist, and the small world exists because of the protagonist. When the protagonist is no longer the protagonist and fails to achieve her goals, the small world will collapse."
"I don't care what kind of person Lin Churou is, nor do I care what hatred or grudges there are between you and Lin Churou, but this world cannot collapse. I am just keeping the world running."
"Think about it, if this world ceased to exist, would the grudge between you and Lin Churou still have any meaning? So, when faced with something like the destruction of the world, just be open-minded!"
The system knew that Lin Cha had made some adjustments and opened the "Watch Meow Friends" position in an attempt to reduce the impact of emotional embedding, but this did not prevent his plan from succeeding.
After tonight, He Yunji will definitely be responsible for Lin Churou. This is the sense of responsibility in his bones, and it is written into his DNA. Otherwise, why would he be so serious about Lu Yanyan just because of the engagement?
However, the responsibility of the body is far greater than the responsibility of the contract.
Lu Yanyan must hate Lin Churou to death now. As a young lady, her strong possessiveness will make her feel that He Yunji is hers, and she will continue to make things difficult for Lin Churou.
But it's useless for her to make trouble again. With He Yunji, she is still worried that Lin Churou will not be able to reach the top and succeed.
That's what romance novels are like. Men are the golden fingers of women! Isn't that what audiences love to read?
Lin Cha suddenly asked the system, "Aren't you afraid that Lu Yanyan will expose the fact that Lin Churou is a mistress?"
"Impossible," the system swore. "I know Lu Yanyan better than you do. She's such a face-saver, how could she let the public know her fiancé was cheating on her? Isn't this indirectly proving that she's not as good as Lin Churou, and her fiancé was even snatched away by Lin Churou? Lu Yanyan can't stand such a thing! She's the proudest Lu Yanyan!"
*
Lu Yanyan really couldn't accept her fiancé sleeping with another woman. So after hearing Lin Cha's thoughts, she immediately kicked open He Yunji's door and rushed in without hesitation!
The lights in the room were on, and the couple was enjoying each other's pleasure. Even though the room was bright, it did not stop them from continuing.
He Yunji was drugged and looked dazed, kissing Lin Churou's lips crazily. Lin Churou was sober, and when she saw Lu Yanyan rushing in, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she deliberately and boldly hugged He Yunji tightly.
Naked provocation.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled at Lu Yanyan, who had a cold face, with contempt in her eyes.
Look, your man is mine now!
——If Lu Yanyan could read Lin Churou's thoughts, she firmly believed that this was definitely what Lin Churou meant in that look.
The winner is the king. In a love triangle consisting of two women and a man, the one who wins the man's love is the king.
Lin Churou has always thought so.
So when she saw Lu Yanyan rushing in, she was even more proud and provocative. Since returning to the Lin family, she had been inferior to Lu Yanyan in every way. After Lu Yanyan fell into the water at the engagement party, she continued to make a fool of herself and was despised by He Yunji.
But at this moment, Lin Churou won.
She got all the love from He Yunji, but Lu Yanyan got nothing!
Lu Yanyan looked at Lin Churou for a long time, and her eyes, which were as silent as stagnant water, curved slightly, and the corners of her mouth even curled up.
Lin Churou paused, noticing Lu Yanyan's subtle lip movements. She didn't make a sound, but Lin Churou understood the meaning of her lip movements.
"I really didn't get He Yunji's love."
"But I got his money!"
Lin Churou:
Lin Churou looked confused.
What money He Yunji has is hers. From now on, everything in the He family will be hers!
What is Lu Yanyan still bragging about? Is she so happy that she is dizzy and sees things wrong?
But then, Lu Yanyan pulled out the GoPro she had been secretly filming and pointed the camera at Lin Churou, proving that Lin Churou wasn't dazzled at all!
[!!!]
[Oh my god, what did I see!]
[Lin Churou and He Yunji are together!]
[Holy shit! How long have the eldest lady and He Yunji been engaged, and He Yunji is already cheating!]
[And Lin Churou's expression just now was clearly a provocation! She seduced someone else's fiancé and slept with him, and she's so proud of it!]
[So disgusting. Today everyone was praising Lin Churou for being beautiful and kind. Where is her kindness? The kindness of a mistress.]
[Hahaha, "Life of Eating Melons" didn't lie to me. I knew there would be melons when I watched the live broadcast!]
[The young lady is quite good at using the camera. We can only see the two of them in bed, without seeing any key parts... So the live broadcast room won't be locked! Wuhu!]
[After all, I've witnessed adultery several times, so practice makes perfect...]
Lu Yanyan's movements were very big, especially the sound caused by kicking the door just now. For a moment, all the guests were awakened and ran over with their coats wrapped around them to eat the melon with great interest.
The mature crowd of melon eaters have already brought their small stools, taken out melon seeds from their pockets, and started sharing and watching!
Lin Cha sat comfortably on the stool brought by Zhou Zexu, and took a few melon seeds from Jiang Mingkai's hand next to him. Several onlookers sat in a row, watching the show leisurely.
The light ball of the system jumped up and down around Lin Cha.
"What's going on!"
"Lu Yanyan is such a proud person! How could she possibly admit that she was cheated on?"
"She even live-streamed the entire thing! Is she crazy? Doesn't she have any dignity?!"
Lin Cha was eating melon seeds, too lazy to care about the other people eating melons, and replied to the system with his voice.
[Lin Churou shouldn't be the one who is shameless]
[Not only did she seduce someone else's fiancé, she also slept with him. She's the mistress! What's wrong with being a young lady?]
The guests nodded enthusiastically.
that is!
What's wrong with being green?
It is only the person involved who is unlucky when encountering a scumbag mistress, but it is the scumbag mistress who should keep her tail between her legs. When will it be the person involved's turn?
Jiang Mingkai felt deeply about this.
After all, the popularity of this variety show started when he turned green
Seeing the crowd growing larger and the GoPro suddenly appearing, Lin Churou was so frightened that she quickly pushed He Yunji away and wrapped herself in the quilt.
He Yunji's head hit the wall with a "bang", the pain made him see stars, the desire in his mind greatly weakened, and his consciousness gradually returned.
Then, he saw that all the guests, led by Lu Yanyan, came to watch him.
He Yunji: “…”
I have never been so embarrassed in my life.
Looking at himself and Lin Churou, who were both disheveled, He Yunji felt that his three perspectives had been completely overturned. How could he be so beastly as to do such a thing?
He shook his head violently, and his head felt like a mess.
Lin Churou sobbed softly, hiding behind He Yunji and not daring to speak. Lu Yanyan pointed the GoPro at the two of them.
"Mr. He, don't you have anything to tell me?"
He Yunji choked when he saw the camera almost hitting his face.
His head was torn between his responsibility towards Lu Yanyan and his responsibility towards Lin Churou.
When he saw that his clothes were disheveled, he guessed that Lin Churou had drugged him. However, when he thought of the scenes when he woke up from the dream... he still chose to stand on Lin Churou's side.
"Yan Yan, I'm sorry for this. If I hadn't mistakenly thought you were my true love, I wouldn't have gotten engaged to you. I love Lin Churou more!"
Lu Yanyan smiled.
From the moment she woke up today until just now, she felt like she was being controlled by someone, and her jealousy towards Lin Churou was skyrocketing. If this life was the same as in her dream, even if the invisible force disappeared, she would still hate Lin Churou.
However, this life is different from the last dream after all.
When Lu Yanyan learned that He Yunji and Lin Churou were together, her heart began to beat wildly, almost jumping out of her chest. Lu Yanyan firmly believed that even if her dream self knew this, she would not be as excited as she was in this life.
because……
"He Yunji, I don't care who you like." Lu Yanyan pulled out the contract they had signed before their engagement, which she had taken a photo of on her phone. "What I care about is your 51% stake in He Corporation! According to our contract, now that I've caught you cheating on me, your 51% stake in He Corporation belongs to me from now on!"
"Aren't you two truly in love? Isn't Lin Churou your white moonlight? I'll make it happen! You love each other, and I'll get paid! It's totally fair!"
He Yunji:!!!
Lin Churou:!!!
On-site guests:!!!
There is such a contract!
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
Only Lin Cha was extremely excited.
51% of the shares!
What a huge sum of money! Soon, she will be able to witness the birth of the richest woman in Hai City!
Awesome!
He Yunji stared blankly at the photo of the contract on his phone, then looked up at Lu Yanyan with a bewildered look in his eyes. "Yanyan...you love me so much, how could you be willing to take away everything from me?"
"I love you." Lu Yanyan paused and smiled contemptuously. "He Yunji, how can you say that? We are a marriage between wealthy families, where does the love come from?"
In the dream, Lu Yanyan loved He Yunji to death and made things difficult for Lin Churou... But that was just a dream!
He Yunji's voice choked with sobs, "But you signed a contract with me, wasn't it just to hold me captive and imprison me so that I wouldn't leave you?"
Lu Yanyan:
Lu Yanyan was almost amused by He Yunji's naiveté. "He Yunji, what misunderstandings do you have about yourself? I admit that you have good conditions, but you think you are more attractive to me than tens of billions of people. It is important to have self-knowledge. After all, you are the president of a superior company, so you don't have such a big idea. Besides, I don't love you, so why should I bind you with a contract?"
Not to mention being bound, Lu Yanyan didn't tell He Yunji that after participating in eight episodes of the show with Lin Cha, she didn't trust men at all. She was 99% sure that a man like He Yunji, who had a white moonlight, would cheat, and she was even looking forward to that day.
Otherwise, the action of kicking the door and taking gopr just now could not be so skillful and exciting
Do you like it as a meal?
cannot!
In the face of tens of billions, her affection for He Yunji is nothing!
He Yunji was even more shocked.
How could this happen? He is the male protagonist of this world! In the dream, Lu Yanyan clearly loved him so much that she betrayed the Lu Group for him and gave it to him! But now, how could she be so cold and indifferent to him as if he were a stranger!
"Crazy, really crazy..."
Everyone was shocked by the contract, but Lin Cha felt that the most shocked and saddened person must be the system around her.
The ball of light was originally as bright as a lamp, but after Lu Yanyan took out the GoPro and the contract, it instantly became dim.
"How could it have turned out like this?" the system roared, jumping up and down. "This plot has completely collapsed. There's no way to save it!"
Originally, Lin Churou had just lost her love, but she was still a top star in the entertainment industry. She had some negative news, but it was not a big problem. She was only one step away from reaching the top.
But the mistress scandal and the contract, the former destroyed all possibilities of Lin Churou's future comeback in the entertainment industry, and the latter destroyed Lin Churou's backing, making it impossible for her to have a male protagonist at the top to help her!
The plot wasn't so broken at first, but now it's getting worse!!!
"It would have been fine if I hadn't intervened, but now... everything's broken..." the system muttered to itself. "No, I need to find Lin Cha. If this continues, everything will be ruined!"
…
The system left in a hurry. Before leaving, he kept muttering, "This world is going to be destroyed. This world is really going to be destroyed..."
Lin Cha didn't feel anything about it. Instead, he found that Lin Churou had a white halo around her body all day, which looked very beautiful. But after her infidelity was exposed by Lu Yanyan, the halo became dim and gradually disappeared.
However, the area around Lu Yanyan became brighter and brighter, shrouded in a halo similar to Lin Churou's.
The system says that the small world must still exist with the protagonist... But when a protagonist loses the possibility of achieving his goal and is no longer the protagonist, is it possible for the small world to have a new protagonist?
*
By midnight, discussions about the variety show "Leisure Life" had exploded.
The fact that the daughter of a wealthy family caught her fiancé cheating in the middle of the night was already a big deal, but then Lu Yanyan produced the engagement agreement, pushing all public opinion to a climax!
51% of the shares!
Netizens are so excited, wondering if the He family dares to give all the shares to Lu Yanyan!
The next day, the variety show ended.
He Yunji and Lin Churou have already left in a mess. Rather than watching the remaining guests do farm work, everyone is more curious about the follow-up of Lu Yanyan and He Yunji's relationship. Director Yu ended the live recording and changed the program to follow Lu Yanyan, He Yunji, and Lin Churou to see whether He Yunji will fulfill his promise.
…
He Group
Old Master He slapped He Yunji in the face.
"Confused!"
The slap was too strong and He Yunji fell to the ground in a mess. He knelt in front of Mr. He.
"Grandpa, I didn't expect Lu Yanyan to be so ruthless and give me this contract! She should at least consider the cooperation between our two families!" He Yunji covered his face with red marks and frowned.
"The He family's cooperation is about to end, yet you still want to cooperate?" Old Man He was so disappointed that he slapped He Yunji in the face again. "You still don't understand why I'm angry. I'm not angry about you signing this contract, but that you knew about the existence of this contract and still cheated on me for this woman! What's so good about this woman that you would sell out our He family just to be with her?"
Old Master He's cane was pointing at Lin Churou beside He Yunji, and it was shaking constantly.
Lin Churou kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Mr. He at all.
He Yunji was also worried that his grandfather would really hit Lin Churou, so he could only lower his head and carefully make suggestions. "Grandpa, we can just deny it and drag Lu Yanyan along. I don't think she will be able to do anything..."
Mr. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"Do you think I don't want to refuse you?"
“But it’s impossible!”
Mr. He also wanted to refuse to fulfill the contract and hand over 51% of the shares.
What a joke! He had to give up the He Group that he had built himself to a little girl just because his grandson cheated on him.
It's really ridiculous!
But Mr. He never expected that all netizens believed that He Yunji would not agree to fulfill the contract, so that the shares of He Group plummeted after the incident.
Mr. He initially thought that it was just because of the bad reputation this time and the He Group’s crisis public relations were not done well, so the stock price would fall a little.
But the speed at which the stock price was falling shocked Mr. He. If this trend continued, the He Group would be bankrupt within a month!
This morning, when Mr. He called Lu Yanyan and promised to fulfill the contract, the problem of falling He Group's stock price was alleviated.
"Leisure Life" broadcast the equity handover ceremony live. At the meeting, Lu Yanyan appeared with Lu Yanche and the Lu Group's legal team. Mr. He publicly promised to compensate Lu Yanyan with 20% of the He Group's shares, and the remaining 31% of the shares would be discounted into various assets and real estate, and repaid to Lu Yanyan in three installments.
Lu Yanyan had guessed this outcome long ago. It was impossible for the He Group to give her all the shares directly. That would be equivalent to handing over the He Group to someone else. Discounting was a more compromising method. Paying off all the shares in three years was already a very short time.
After the He Group confirmed that it would fulfill the contract, He's stock price did not fall, but instead showed an upward trend.
There seemed to be a mysterious force forcing He and He Yunji to make a "responsible" choice.
*
After the equity handover ceremony, Mr. He kicked He Yunji out of the He family.
He Yunji had a smooth life in the past, but he should have experienced some setbacks and knew not to sign a contract with others that could destroy the family.
He Yunji had nowhere to go, so he returned to the Lin family with Lin Churou.
But the Lin family's situation is not much better than the He family's.
Lu Yanyan took over 20% of the shares of He Group. Seeing that the He family had the support of Lu Group, shareholders regained confidence in the He family, so the share prices of both He Group and Lu Group rose.
But Lin Churou is also one of the parties involved in the affair, and she plays the role of the most hated mistress.
The Lin family's stock price also plummeted because of her.
In the study, Lin Zhaoyi almost went crazy and knocked books and vases all over the floor.
"I asked you to contact He Yunji because I wanted to rely on the He family, not to destroy the Lin family!"
"I, how could I have known that Lu Yanyan would be like this!" Lin Churou burst into tears. She didn't dare to go online or go out during this period. Whenever she appeared in a place with people, Lin Churou could feel the eyes of the people around her pointing fingers at her and calling her a mistress!
"There's only one way, break up with He Yunji!" Lin Zhaoyi gritted his teeth. "Only then can our Lin family have a chance of turning things around!"
"No! No way!" Lin Churou screamed. She knew that He Yunji was the male protagonist of this world. Since he was the male protagonist, shouldn't these setbacks be temporary? If she chose to leave He Yunji now, would He Yunji let her go when he returned to the He family in the future?
Lin Zhaoyi angrily said, "If you don't break up with him, all of you will be kicked out of the Lin family! We don't want a daughter as shameful as you!"
*
On New Year's Eve, Haishi had its third snow of the day, covering the splendid city with white snow. The long and winding Jinjiang River froze into a snake entwined in the city, freezing cold.
Lin Churou and He Yunji huddled in a small rented house of less than 30 square meters. There was no heating and no delicious New Year's Eve dinner. Moreover, because it was located in the suburbs of the city, they couldn't even order takeout.
The moment the power in the rented house was cut off due to unpaid water and electricity bills, Lin Churou felt hopeless.
There was the crackling sound of firecrackers outside, and children's laughter could be heard all around, but only in this rented room was it frighteningly cold and indifferent.
The door of the room suddenly opened, and He Yunji, reeking of alcohol, staggered into the rented room.
Lin Churou quickly supported him, her eyes filled with final anticipation. "How is it going? Has the Zhao Group decided to invest? Didn't you say that the young master of the Zhao family is your best friend? He will definitely help you, right?"
He Yunji, wearing a cheap suit, angrily threw the briefcase out. Without noticing, the briefcase brushed past Lin Churou's cheek, leaving a glaring red mark on her once delicate face.
"What a close friend, you bastard!" He Yunji cursed angrily. "It must have been Grandpa's idea! He was the one who forced those people not to help me! If Grandpa hadn't been secretly trying to trip me up, how could I possibly not get investment with my abilities?"
Lin Churou's heart sank when she heard this. She sat down on the ground dejectedly, letting the icy coldness of the ground penetrate into her bones, as if she knew nothing about it.
In the past two months, He Yunji has looked for many investments, but all of them failed without exception.
If it were in the past, Lin Churou believed that Mr. He was all-powerful and might have deliberately trained He Yunji to make it difficult for him to succeed.
But things are different now, the He family no longer has this ability.
He Yunji wasn't the business genius they thought he was. Or rather, at some point, He Yunji lost his former talent and ability to control the business world at will.
Just like her.
They are no longer the darlings of this world, nor are they the male and female protagonists.
On New Year's Eve, He Yunji got drunk in the dark rented house, while Lin Churou packed all her luggage and left alone.
