126: Chapter 126 Brother Shen, go and do *that* to the girl who's spreading rumors! Shen Yuan: This is utterly outrageous!
Han Jin looked speechlessly at Shen Yuan's head of yellow hair.
"Shen Yuan, can you stop screwing with me, dammit?"
"Just because you cultivate immortality, does that mean you can do whatever you want?"
"Just because you cultivate immortality, does that mean you can change your hair color whenever you want?"
He suppressed his inner helplessness and forced out a smile.
"How can you be counted as just some yellow-hair?"
"This is golden hair!"
"You're a Super Saiyan!"
"Can any random yellow-hair compare to you?"
Han Jin laughed happily.
Shen Yuan: "..."
"Ding, Host!"
The System suddenly spoke up, "I didn't pay attention just now, but I just realized, your brother-in-law..."
"Seems to be a Villain!"
The System stated calmly.
The System's words left Shen Yuan speechless.
He looked at Lu Xiao, then at Han Jin.
A normal-level protagonist and a normal-level Villain?
"How did you two end up hanging out together?"
"You're even putting your arms around each other and eating and drinking together?"
"Does this even fit the plot development?"
"Shen Yuan, I believe that if you spend some time with Miao Miao, you'll definitely fall in love with her!"
Han Jin changed the subject.
"Is that so?" Shen Yuan asked in return.
"Of course!"
"Miao Miao might look like a career woman now, but back in the day, she was such a little ditz!"
"Back when she went to school in the capital, she promised to bring two classmates home for the holidays. She took the high-speed rail back, and I waited at the station for two hours, only for her to miss her stop. And she even had the nerve to say, straight-faced, that she forgot to call me!"
"And before that, right after she got her driver's license, she insisted on taking my car out. When she came back, she'd driven the car straight into a tree, and she told me with an innocent face that the tree had moved first and blocked her path!"
Han Jin shook his head helplessly. "I still can't for the life of me figure out how she managed to drive the car into a tree!"
Shen Yuan and Lu Xiao's mouths twitched.
Shen Yuan: "..."
"Dammit!"
"Are you sure she's just a 'little ditz'?"
"Why do I get the feeling your sister might be some 'silly, sweet' female lead?"
"What happened to the 'Overbearing CEO' act?"
"Your Han Family really produces nothing but experts!"
Han Jin continued his rambling.
"When she first started dealing with business, she signed documents upside down and then blamed the document's layout for being problematic and trying to mislead her."
"If she forgot her keys when going out, she'd blame me for not reminding her."
"When she learned to cook, she burned the pot, filling the room with black smoke, and then argued that she was just 'high-temperature disinfecting' the pot, asking me if I even understood basic common sense."
"She walked into a pillar by accident and said the pillar was being rude..."
Han Jin chuckled.
Shen Yuan's head began to throb as he listened, so he quickly raised his hand to interrupt.
"Alright, alright, stop!"
This was like a completely different person from the Han Miao in the Original Owner's memories!
In the Original Owner's memories, Han Miao was absolutely stunning, blindingly beautiful...
Damn, I really am a sucker for good looks; no matter the situation, my first reaction is always to check if the person is pretty.
Besides, in the Original Owner's memories, she was a career woman with an overflowing aura—beautiful and effortlessly cool.
Her logic was impossibly clear, her aura was immense, and her every gesture radiated the confidence of someone in total control.
She could have easily coasted to success on her looks alone, yet she insisted on crushing everyone with her talent.
This... how is this the same person as the one Han Jin described—the one who drives cars into trees and makes excuses when she burns the pot?
"Is it really the same person?"
"Could she have been possessed?"
"Alright, enough!"
Shen Yuan said hurriedly, "Old Han, I remember you're twenty-eight already, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"
"Among the three of us, you're the only single loser here, what are you rambling on about?"
Shen Yuan rolled his eyes.
Oh, wait, I guess I'm a single loser too.
Han Jin's face twitched.
"Do single losers not have human rights?"
"Even though in my parents' eyes I'm not even as good as a dog right now, I'm still a human being!"
"Wait, no, I'm not a single loser!"
"I have a girl I like!"
Han Jin said directly.
Shen Yuan and Lu Xiao were suddenly interested and asked in unison, "Are you being a simp?"
Han Jin: ヽ(ー_ー)ノ
"Just because I'm not single, does that mean I have to be a simp?"
"Can you two wish me some good luck for once?"
Han Jin blushed and said awkwardly, "Her name is Su Wanqing. She's really pretty, gentle, and quiet."
"It's just... every time we go on a date, she's so listless, like she's suffered some great grievance. If I ask her what's wrong, she won't say anything; she just lowers her head and picks at her fingers."
Han Jin said helplessly.
Shen Yuan sneered, "So you, an Overbearing CEO, can't even figure out why she's feeling aggrieved?"
Lu Xiao leaned in, fully embodying the spirit of gossip passed down by his ancestors.
"Exactly. I'm not trying to lecture you, Han Jin, but weren't you pretty capable before?"
"You used to be so good at roasting people, why do you turn into a coward in front of a girl?"
"You don't even know why she's upset?"
Lu Xiao flipped him off. "I despise you, you bully who only knows how to act tough at home."
Han Jin's face turned even redder, and he scratched his head. "I was just afraid of scaring her."
"Besides, I did look into it!"
"I had someone contact her best friend and found out that there's a student from a poor background at her school who's been spreading lewd rumors about her behind her back every day, saying the most unbearable things!"
Han Jin sighed. "I actually came here today to discuss a contract with Lu Xiao, and I was planning on going back to help her afterward!"
"Then just destroy her?"
Lu Xiao slammed the table and shouted, "Your Han Family is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, you can't even handle one person?"
"Her?"
Shen Yuan gave him a side-eye. "And it's a woman?"
Han Jin's face twitched. "How did you get the idea that the person spreading rumors is a woman?"
"Duh!"
Shen Yuan flipped him off. "In novels, you just know! He, she, it—you can tell just by hearing it!"
Han Jin was speechless.
"Why can't I tell?"
"Alright, if a guy is spreading lewd rumors about a girl, it only proves one thing: that guy just wants to sleep with her!"
"Haven't you heard of that one called Tiantian from the last two years?"
"She went into the adult industry and filmed a 'Cowherd and Weaver Girl' production!"
"Her classmate found out and insisted on sleeping with her."
"She refused, and as a result, she was reported by her classmate!"
Shen Yuan sighed. "That classmate is too evil! Think of all the benefits for the vast number of male compatriots that were ruined!"
Lu Xiao and Han Jin: ๑ Ő ௰ Ő ๑) We don't know anything!
What Cowherd and Weaver Girl, what Tiantian...
What Qixi Valentine's Day special, what old ox replacing the Cowherd...
What high-quality visuals...
We haven't seen any of it!
Han Jin felt that if he didn't steer the conversation back, it would veer off into the middle of nowhere!
He sighed and said, "I called Su Wanqing. That student from a poor background has excellent grades—she's first in the grade—and the teacher protects her like a mother hen."
"Wanqing said that since the student is from a poor background and has it hard, we shouldn't hold it against her!"
"Wanqing is afraid of being accused of making a mountain out of a molehill, so she's just been enduring it, afraid to retaliate."
Han Jin said.
Lu Xiao gave him a side-eye, then leaned in toward Shen Yuan and said with a mischievous grin, "Brother Shen, Han Jin here is useless. You can handle this job!"
"Since that woman spreading the rumors is poor and has a sharp tongue, she needs to be taught a lesson."
"Why don't you go sleep with her, take some nude photos, and send them to the whole school? Let's see if she dares to spread lewd rumors again!"
Lu Xiao smiled.
Hearing this, Shen Yuan almost spat out a mouthful of blood and slapped Lu Xiao across the head.
"I thought I was crazy enough..."
"But I'm still within the realm of being a human being."
"Lu Xiao, your brain circuits, you Idiot... are you even human?"
"Compared to you, how did I suddenly become the normal one?"
