Chapter 416 The Little Rascal in the Interstellar Junkyard 17
at night,
Xia Youmi calculated the time and went to the communications room that Xu Mu had left on Planet X, and made a video call to Xu Mu, who was far away on the main planet.
It's estimated that the engagement ceremony is over, and everything that needed to be done has been performed; it's time to rest. Usually, after completing a task, Xu Mu would proactively contact Xia Youmi, so her occasional return call isn't surprising.
"drop!"
"Xiao Juan... Hello! Did you get the stuff?" On the screen, Xu Mu hadn't changed out of her beautiful dress yet, her accessories were drooping, and she looked exhausted.
but,
Even while video chatting with Xia Youmi, he forced a smile.
Xia Youmi frowned and stopped trying to chat with Xu Mu.
"What happened..."
"Forehead."
Xia Youmi usually doesn't ask about family matters. But this time, seeing Xu Mu's exhausted state, she asked the question directly, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Xiao Juan, it's alright. How about we talk about it in detail when we get back?" Xu Mu avoided giving a direct answer.
Her guilty conscience was noticed by Xia Youmi. It was Ge Huazhi, who couldn't stand it any longer, who poked her head out and said on Xu Mu's behalf, "Youmi, your two aunts have seen a good show today."
"What nonsense."
"What's the use of hiding it? What if they find out and Xiao Youmi isn't prepared?"
The two on the other end of the video call exchanged a few words. Xia Youmi didn't show any curiosity, but she knew in her heart that the engagement ceremony had not gone smoothly.
Many changes must have occurred.
The fact that Xu Mu is in such a sorry state suggests that it might be somewhat related to me.
But it certainly won't be much. If she posed a threat to Xia Youmi, Xu Mu wouldn't have kept it from her. Their interactions are always efficient; any attempt to hide anything is suspicious and suggests an external threat.
Once the two finished arguing, Xia Youmi remained calm and serious.
"Well, alright. Although it's true that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, we've formed another family, so what business is it of our little family with the scandals of that other family!" Xu Mu quickly convinced herself.
She began to recount in detail what had happened at the engagement ceremony on the main star that day to Xia Youmi, including various subjective curses. From Ge Huazhi's gesture of raising her glass, it was clear that Xu Mu was on the verge of drinking too much and urgently needed to vent.
They also added to each other's points of view, and by the time they hung up, Xia Youmi had finally figured out the general idea.
When the male and female protagonists meet,
This is no ordinary thunder and fire.
It was almost a crisis of division between the four families.
Today, it is merely the engagement between the adopted daughter who originally represented the Xu family and the male protagonist who represents the only heir of the Jiang family across three generations.
But then Di Ning, the female lead who has already made it to the world of fame and fortune, appears and is pulled into the battle. Behind her stand the Xi family, the Yu family, and other related parties.
The main reason is that Di Ning's genes were exposed too suddenly and too obviously.
Her special nature wasn't unknown to everyone, but it remained largely a secret. If it were exposed, aside from the possibility of Di Ning resorting to desperate measures, the involvement of numerous united and ruthless families would make it no easy task.
The reason is that in such social occasions, one is inevitably led to meet guests.
As the only male heir in the Jiang family, his value is self-evident.
Behind the male protagonist, besides his father, there was also his uncle and aunt, all of whom were focused on him.
When it was announced that his girlfriend was an adopted daughter of the Xu family, the Jiang family discussed it several times before expressing their acceptance. A deeper consideration, however, was that they all knew about the special genetic condition of their prospective daughter-in-law's older sister.
Although numerous tests could not prove that this younger sister was also special.
However, despite her frail health over the years, her reproductive system has remained remarkably robust. This inevitably raises the question of whether she can produce a rare offspring with a younger member of the Jiang family.
In particular, the other party comes with the resources of the Xu family. Besides the patriarch Xu Luo, who already holds absolute power, there is also his aunt Xu Mu.
These two figures can at least guarantee that the Chiang family will continue to benefit.
But greed can never be satisfied.
At a social gathering, the heroine, Di Ning, made a grand entrance, lighting the torches. Her past as a test subject was recognized and discussed and traded privately by several people on the spot.
They were already discussing how to divide up all the benefits of kidnapping the female lead. However, Yu Sui's elder brother, Yu Yi, sternly stopped them and forcefully drove those with ill intentions out of the venue.
However, no matter how much he relied on the Yu family's power, it was ultimately an event for the Xu and Jiang families. Those who were unwilling to accept this contacted the Jiang family outside the venue.
When they decided to observe Di Ning, they discovered that their only hope lay in talking to him; they had actually met once before and had a fairly good impression of each other.
The aura emanating from the male and female leads instantly stirred the elders of the Jiang family.
They took the male protagonist to a room and made a clear demand of him: either he would give up on the Xu family's daughter and instead pursue the Xi family's daughter, Di Ning, and quickly marry her and have children.
This is the mission of Chiang Kai-shek's only descendant.
Seeing the male protagonist's displeased expression, the Jiang family quickly changed their tune.
If you still don't want to give up on the Xu family's daughter, that's fine too, but you must complete a trial marriage with Di Ning and have a child with her before you marry the Xu family's adopted daughter.
And it must not alarm any family.
The protagonist, who had a smooth and successful life, believed that his only unavoidable fate was having to produce an heir for the Jiang family, making him a pitiful figure with no choice but to endure immense psychological trauma.
He thought that by finding a partner he liked, he had broken the Jiang family's game.
He is still free.
However, reality is not clean.
The male protagonist is forced to use everything he has to complete his family's mission.
These conversations were overheard by the female protagonist, Di Ning. In reality, it was her nominal uncle, Yu Yi, who discovered them when he told her to be careful after driving the people away.
Feeling furious about this, Di Ning, with the help of her uncle, recorded the conversation between the Chiang family and played it on the big screen on the stage during the ceremony.
However, although she had clearly hidden her name in the edited version, the content played was the original. Di Ning's shock ironically served as a shield for her innocence, and the guests did not suspect that she had personally recorded and leaked the video.
Everyone was condemning the Jiang family and comforting the adopted daughter of the Xu family.
In particular, Xu Mu acted the fastest, specifically targeting Jiang's eldest uncle and others whom she had long disliked.
Wait until you've openly and fairly beaten someone up, then pretend to cry.
Ge Huazhi said that Xu Mu's acting skills had improved slightly, but were still terrible! Although she felt angry, she was mostly happy. Knowing one's partner's sinister intentions before marriage and before the irreversible prospect of childbirth is incredibly fortunate!
On the spot, the one who erupted most terrifyingly was actually the male lead, Jiang Shi.
He refused to comply in the video.
Without the burden of explaining to his girlfriend, he frantically swore oaths and vows.
He stated that he would never act in that way; all he wanted was to spend his life with her.
To prove his determination, he even publicly mocked and belittled the female lead.
in this way,
It's completely a mess.
