Qian Wei felt a chill run down his spine. Instinctively, he looked around, only to find that everyone’s eyes were fixed on him, openly curious and scrutinizing.
Countless stares, almost tangible, felt like invisible hands trying to strip him bare.
He unconsciously clamped his legs together, but then he heard—
“Hiss, doesn’t he feel uncomfortable? I mean, it’s a thong! Sure, his butt might be free, but where does the elephant trunk go?”
Qian Wei: “……” Ahhhhh, why are you so curious?!
“Also, are the white suspender stockings really connected to his underwear? Wouldn’t it feel weird pulling with every step?”
“How would I know? It’s not like I wear panties.”
Everyone: Did you really just say that? That’s a bit explicit…
“True, normal people wouldn’t bother trying to figure out a pervert’s thoughts. But honestly, just look at Qian Wei — he screams sleazy. Those shifty eyes are gross enough, and he even has a goatee? Ugh, greasy and creepy — that’s a double whammy!”

“Oh, true.”
“Listen, he’s not just a crossdresser — he’s also a masochist. By day, he pretends to be a playboy, flirting with women everywhere. But at night, he changes into women’s clothes and hunts for admirers at clubs. He’s tricked more than a few men blinded by lust. In his circle, he’s known as ‘Little Queen’.”
The crowd’s gaze, which had been fixated on Qian Wei’s lower half, slowly moved upward, as if trying to figure out what qualified him for the title of queen.
Was it his looks?
Ew!
His shifty, rat-like features said otherwise.
Maybe his figure was alluring?
Gross!
His tragic five-five body ratio
1A five-five body ratio refers to a body proportion where the upper body (from head to waist) and lower body (from waist to feet) are roughly equal in length — a 5:5 ratio.It’s often mentioned in fashion or beauty discussions, usually with a bit of a negative connotation, because the “ideal” body proportion in many cultures is considered to be closer to a three-seven (3:7) or four-six (4:6) ratio, where the legs appear longer in comparison to the torso.
People with a five-five ratio may sometimes use fashion tricks, like high-waisted pants or platform shoes, to create the illusion of longer legs.
made him look even shorter than he was.
“Why ‘Little Queen’? Wouldn’t just ‘Queen’ sound more impressive?”
“Why do you think he wears a thong without feeling uncomfortable?”
Yin Yin was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Hahaha, I got it instantly!”
The crowd fought hard to hold back their laughter, afraid they’d scare off this golden source of gossip before getting the full scoop.
Qian Wei, now red-faced and furious, scanned the crowd, desperate to find the gossipmonger who was ruining his reputation.
“I mean, with your looks, who would even want to play with you?”
“Heh, that’s where you’re wrong. He takes people to dimly lit places for a good time. Just when things seem to be heating up, he suddenly whips out a small leather whip and begs to be spanked. Real heavy stuff.”
“Ew, that’s peak masochist behavior. But hey, at least he’s self-aware — treating himself like livestock and asking to be punished. He really knows his place. Beast! Deserves a beating!”
“Pfft—” Shen Lan quickly covered her mouth, her stifled laughter almost bringing her to tears.
Even Irene, who had been fuming from Qian Wei’s earlier flirtation, now wore a radiant smile.
But no one was more satisfied than Yan Yiyi. She fanned the flames with a smirk, “Hmm? Why’d you stop laughing? Not the giggly type?”
“You— just you wait!” Qian Wei, both enraged and embarrassed, couldn’t even locate the source of the gossip, making him even more frustrated.
Yan Yiyi shrugged indifferently. “Whenever you’re ready.”
She was certain that once they left this ranch, Qian Wei’s scandal would spread like wildfire throughout their circle. By then, he’d be too busy saving face to bother seeking revenge.
Their companions, reluctant but curious, trailed behind Qian Wei as he stormed off.
They hadn’t walked far when they heard—
“Another Unbelievable Incident Happened Just Last Night”
“What? What happened?!”
The crowd, which had been rushing away, suddenly halted, their ears perked up in anticipation.
Even the furious Qian Wei stopped in his tracks. Despite himself, his inner gossip-loving spirit got the better of him, and he couldn’t help but listen in.
“Last night, he ordered a 3,800-yuan ‘late-night delivery’ — but it wasn’t food. It was one of those so-called ‘midnight services’ that’s actually an illegal trade under the guise of life exploration.”
Yin Yin blinked in confusion, then quickly caught on. “Oh… you mean he hired a prostitute? Was Qian Wei soliciting?”
“Exactly! But here’s the wild part — the person showed up at the agreed time, and they went to a hotel room. Qian Wei was just one step away from getting what he paid for when, suddenly, someone barged in claiming to be the ‘wife’ of the service provider. She caught them red-handed, took a bunch of incriminating photos, and threatened to expose him. To make it go away, he ended up paying 50,000 yuan.”
“Hahaha! He fell for a ‘honey trap’ while hiring a prostitute? What kind of rotten luck is this?”
“You’d think that would be the end of it — a lesson learned the hard way. But no! Once he calmed down, he realized he’d been scammed. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. So… he called the police!”
“What?!”
The crowd stared in disbelief. Is this guy okay?!
“Does he not realize that what he did was illegal too? Calling the cops is basically turning himself in! Anyone with a shred of common sense would never do that. It’s not like he’s short on money.”
“Exactly! Even the police were stunned. It’s like — is he a good guy or a bad guy? He hired a prostitute, sure, but then he also ‘turned himself in’ and promptly paid the fine. It’s absurd!”
“I can only say… he’s an honest fool.”
The crowd struggled to hold back laughter, some pinching their thighs to stop from losing it completely.
“Hold on — let me get this straight. He got scammed, got mad, reported it to the police, and then, once the crime was confirmed, he cooperated fully and paid the fine. So he basically lost money twice? Did he actually think the cops would help him get his 50,000 yuan back? Like… losing 5,000 to get back 50,000?”
“Of course not! He didn’t expect the police to recover his money — that’s impossible since what he did was illegal. He just couldn’t stand being duped. He’d rather give his money to the state than let the scammers keep it.”
The silence that followed was deafening.
“If his father finds out about this ridiculous stunt, will he break his legs?”
“No way. If his dad breaks his legs, people would just call him abusive. His old man is ruthless though — he’d probably just burn all of Qian Wei’s cross-dressing outfits, cut his monthly allowance to 10,000 yuan, and let him hang by a thread. Heck, the guy might even legitimize his mistresses overnight, planning for a second or third child to start fresh, treating Qian Wei like a failed character in a game — reset and restart.”
That last comment hit Qian Wei like a bolt of lightning.
After his so-called friends suddenly realized how far he’d fallen, they stopped listening to the gossip and started edging away from him. No one wanted to be associated with someone his own family had practically disowned — they were afraid he might leech off them for food and drinks.
“Bastards! Come back here! When I was rich, you were all like dogs wagging your tails around me. Now that I’m in a rough patch, this is how you treat me?”
Qian Wei charged at them, hoping to grab someone and demand answers, but all he got was a face full of luxury sports car exhaust as they sped away.
Peeking from behind a corner, Yin Yin watched Qian Wei chase the dust trails like a stray dog, clicking her tongue. “Wow… rich-kid friendships are this fragile? Weren’t they just all buddy-buddy a second ago?”
“Honestly, a lot of these rich second-generation types only look glamorous on the outside. At home, most of them have zero real power — their parents control their money completely. The ones who actually inherit family businesses aren’t the spoiled brats. You’ll see someday.”
“Eh, not interested. I just wanna ride horses right now.”
At the mention of horseback riding, Yan Yiyi immediately grabbed Irene to go find Yin Yin.
When the two groups met up, Yan Yiyi said, “Yin Yin, this is the coach I found for you — Irene.”
“Irene, this is Miss Xu.”
“Nice to meet you, Miss Xu.”
“Nice to meet you too! I’ll be in your care.”
The moment Irene heard Yin Yin’s voice, a flash of realization crossed her face. She exchanged a glance with Yan Yiyi, who gave a small nod as if to confirm something.
Having been helped by Yan Yiyi earlier, Irene was eager to repay the favor, and her attitude toward Yin Yin became noticeably warmer.
With a skilled teacher and Yin Yin’s quick learning, it took less than an hour for her to master horseback riding completely.
“Ahhh! I can ride a horse now! This is amazing!”
“Faster! Let’s go faster! This is thrilling!” The system’s voice quivered with excitement.
After conquering horseback riding, they went paragliding, took a hot air balloon ride, and didn’t head home until nightfall, still buzzing with adrenaline.
“I had such a great time today, Yiyi. Thank you!”
“I should be thanking you.”
“Huh? Thank me?” Yin Yin tilted her head in confusion. She hadn’t done anything special.
“Thank you for hanging out with me.” …And for always helping me when I need it.
“Oh, come on! You’re so nice — anyone who gets to know you would want to be your friend.”
“So… are we friends now?”
“Of course we are!”
With that confirmation, Yan Yiyi’s face lit up with a big smile. When she dropped Yin Yin off at home, she even handed her a pile of thoughtful gifts.
After watching Yan Yiyi drive off, Yin Yin gazed down at the heavy bag of presents in her hands, her heart soaring.
“Wow… rich girls really have impeccable manners. Let’s go pick out some return gifts. Ever since my rich mom gave me money, I haven’t gone on a proper shopping spree!”
“Let’s go, let’s go! I’ll be the spectator!”
The system, acting like a curious child, was bouncing around excitedly — paragliding and hot air balloon rides were fun, but so was eating popcorn and watching the drama unfold. Life with the host was just exhilarating!
While Xu Yinyin was living her carefree days, Zhou Xinyi and Qian Chuan were like ants on a hot pan, getting more anxious with each failed plan.
“Damn it! I spent 30 million to bring that AI project from M country to China. The plan was to use it to lure Xu Yanrui, scam him out of a few hundred million, and give the Xu family a blow. But then Yan Feng came out of nowhere and snatched my plan — not only did I fail to scam Xu Yanrui, but I also handed Fengyi a profit worth billions. How did it all go so wrong!”
Qian Chuan felt like he was going through a streak of bad luck — nothing was going his way.
“By the way, how’s Yaoyao doing?”
Zhou Xinyi didn’t dare to tell Qian Chuan about Xu Yanwen catching her meeting Xu Yao.
She downplayed it, saying, “She’s been reaching out to me a lot lately, venting about how unfair things are. Apparently, for the AI project, Old Master Xu is making Xu Yinyin and Xu Yanrui compete — whoever wins will take the lead. Yaoyao said that even though she joined the company six months earlier than Xu Yinyin, she’s never been given any important projects. It’s obvious who the old man values more.”
Qian Chuan’s mood finally lifted a little. “That’s the first good news I’ve heard in a while. I brought in this AI project to bait Xu Yanrui into making a reckless move and watch him crash and burn. Now it looks like the old man is helping me out.”
“The old man favoring Xu Yinyin is only adding fuel to the fire between the two.”
“Exactly. Not only is it stirring up tension between the real and fake heiresses, but it’s also deepening the rift between the Xu family’s first and second branches. If Xu Yinyin wins, Xu Yanrui will definitely resent the first branch even more. And if Xu Yanrui wins, he’ll use the momentum to push them out of the company. Either way, it’s good for us.”
Zhou Xinyi nodded knowingly. “Looks like everything is still going according to our plan.”
“Yep. But you need to speed up winning Xu Yaoyao over. We need her to see how cold the Xu family really is and get her to join our side.”
“Got it. I will.”
On Monday, Rongmao Group and Fengyi officially launched their AI collaboration.
For the first time, Xu Hongtian publicly praised Xu Yanrui in front of the company’s top executives and announced Sun Min’s reassignment, appointing her as the new project manager.
When Tang Wan heard the news, she immediately dragged Xu Yanrui into her office and lashed out at him, accusing him of shamelessly poaching her people and using Sun Min’s abilities to boost his own reputation — calling him despicable and opportunistic.
Xu Yanrui, however, didn’t retaliate. He simply smiled the entire time, as if he were a pig unbothered by boiling water, which only infuriated Tang Wan more.
She never thought Xu Yanrui had any talent or leadership skills, so his sudden cunningness had to be the work of someone else.
After scolding him, she called in Sun Min and sarcastically accused her of betraying the team. She even brought up Sun Min’s gambling-addict husband as a threat, demanding constant updates on the project — planning to sabotage it from within.
But Sun Min wasn’t having it. She flatly responded, “President Tang, I can’t serve two masters. I’m sorry, but I won’t comply. Also, Xu Yanrui has already helped me settle my husband’s gambling debts. The police even raided an underground casino, and according to their investigation, my husband’s high-interest loans were part of a setup. They’re looking into the mastermind, and Xu Yanrui promised to assign someone to follow up and ensure justice is served.”
With that, she gave a polite nod and left, leaving Tang Wan slumped in her chair, her face ashen.
Did Sun Min know the truth?
Tang Wan quickly grabbed her phone, instructing her confidants to monitor the case and make sure her name never came up — even if it meant resorting to extreme measures.
After giving her orders, she leaned back on the sofa, gazing blankly at the tiny figures rushing along the streets below — so busy, so insignificant.
On Wednesday night, Xu Yinyin received a call from her aunt, inviting her to accompany Yan Yashan to a charity auction the next day. Yan Yashan’s grandson would be attending as well.
“I heard your aunt mention Grandma Yan and her grandson… Do you think this might be a setup for an arranged marriage?”
Xu Yao teased as he munched on snacks. He had just returned from a competition in a neighboring city, and Xu Yaoyao had picked him up for dinner at home. They were casually gaming when Xu Yanyan called.
Hearing that, Xu Yinyin suddenly found her potato chips less appetizing.
“No way… Auntie just asked me to attend the auction. Who sets up blind dates at those kinds of events?”
“Don’t be so sure. You’re at the age where marriage is on the table.” Xu Yao chuckled, adding fuel to the fire.
Xu Yinyin frowned, thinking it through. “Grandma Yan’s family has been wealthy for over a century — they’re old money, unlike Grandpa, who built his empire from scratch. Plus, I grew up in an orphanage. Even though I’m the real heiress, the first 25 years of my life had nothing to do with being rich. If they were planning an alliance through marriage, why would they choose me?”
“That makes sense, but you’re forgetting something — Grandma Yan likes you.”
Xu Yao almost told her that her “inner voice” had been winning hearts, punishing wrongdoers, and serving up juicy drama for everyone. Grandma Yan admired her boldness, so it wouldn’t be surprising if she wanted to match her with her grandson — keeping the “good catch” in the family.
“Come on, we only met at the family recognition banquet. I’m not that charming.”
“The most important thing in life is self-awareness. I know exactly how much I’m worth, so let’s not overhype me, okay?”
Xu Yao burst into laughter at her inner monologue and decided to hype up Huo Yan. “I’ve met Brother Yan a few times. Grandma Yan’s grandson — he’s tall, handsome, rich, a financial genius, and practically a legend on M Country’s Wall Street. He’s also the only Chinese person in the top ten of the global billionaire list. The guy’s unstoppable.”
“Mmm, a strong man like that is meant to shine on his own. Anyone or anything outside of his career is just a stumbling block—so don’t even think about it.”
“Guys like him, with sky-high abilities, are basically the classic “lone wolf” type. A woman would only slow down his sword-drawing speed. I’m not about to mess with that—whoever wants him can have him!”
“Yinbao, do you want to see his photo? He’s really handsome!”
The system projected Huo Yan’s life resume directly into Xu Yinyin’s mind. The records matched what Xu Yao said, but his appearance was even more striking—straight out of a novel. The kind of cold, untouchable man whose good looks couldn’t be hidden even under a buttoned-up white shirt.
As a certified looks-obsessed person, Xu Yinyin was shocked. “Does someone this ridiculously good-looking actually exist? Are you sure this isn’t Photoshopped?”
“This system only provides the most accurate data. This is his unfiltered, original appearance.”
“Damn! He really is that handsome—like a living, breathing masterpiece. Deep-set eyes, a straight nose, a flawless jawline… even his plain white shirt somehow gives off a forbidden allure. That icy, distant vibe—like a moon above the clouds or a lotus in a mountain stream—it makes people want to pluck him, to defile him. BUT! I’ve checked his vibe. He’s not my type. Thanks, but no thanks! By the way, does he have any gossip?”
“Unfortunately, no. He only has an awe-inspiring resume and an undefeated record in the business world.”
“Oh, so he’s a workaholic. No problem then. Even if I’m forced into a blind date with him, I’m not worried. Guys like him only have eyes for their work. Everyone else is just irrelevant.”
“Is it really that extreme?”
“Ha! Just wait till you meet him—you’ll see. Let’s just watch and see.”
Xu Yao, still not giving up, added, “But honestly, I don’t think Yan-ge has ever been in a relationship. He might still be a virgin!”
“Pfft—” Xu Yinyin spat out a mouthful of soda. “That’s the kind of lie you tell little kids. No grown man is a virgin these days. They all have the same ‘national girlfriend’—”
She pointed to his right hand.
Xu Yao: “…Sis, I’m still underage. Can you not corrupt me with this stuff?”
Xu Yinyin snorted. “If you know you’re underage, stop meddling in adult matters. Are we playing this game or not?”
“Yes, yes, let’s play.”
The next morning, Xu Yinyin was dragged out of bed by Jiang Xin. A personal stylist was already waiting at their home, with rows of freshly tailored gowns and dresses. Models paraded one outfit after another for her to choose from.
“Sweetie, you have to pick one! Tonight’s charity auction is important—it’s your first time attending, and Mom wants to capture the memory.”
Jiang Xin waved her camera like she was sending her daughter off to a kindergarten costume party.
“Is Mom trying to make up for all the time we missed in my childhood? That’s sweet, but also… unnecessary!”
“Mom, I’m just going with Auntie to accompany Granny Yan. If I dress too extravagantly, won’t I be stealing her spotlight? It’s better to keep it simple and elegant.”
“No way! It’s a charity auction. Granny Yan is the host—you have to bid on something to show support. I’ve already prepared a check for you. Just buy whatever you like—don’t worry about the price.”
“Wow, so that’s how the rich roll. The minimum bid at these auctions starts in the tens of thousands. With all those people shouting prices back and forth, a few hundred grand could disappear in a blink. Even if you’re rich, this seems a bit much…”
“Tsk, you’re thinking too small. It’s a charity auction—every cent goes to a good cause. The items aren’t just purchases—they’re a reflection of the bidder’s goodwill. It’s about the gesture, not the money.”
Xu Yinyin pouted inwardly. “Thanks, but I only just got rich. My mindset’s still stuck in “peasant mode.””
Jiang Xin laughed at her daughter’s grumbling and added, “Our family has plenty of money. What you spend is nothing compared to what we earn. You don’t have to save for us—everything we have will be yours one day. Spending money is part of being a proper socialite. Consider it a required course, okay?”
“Alright, I’ll… try to learn.”
Xu Yinyin kept a composed face, but her heart was screaming.
Mom’s hopes were so simple and straightforward. If she didn’t spend money, wouldn’t that be… unfilial?
Fine. If spending money is the homework, she’ll ace the test.
Shopping spree, here we go!
With that mindset, Xu Yinyin hopped into the car. She spent the ride watching charity auction videos online, studying how the elite placed their bids. She needed to get the right attitude down.
When they arrived at the venue, she stepped out of the car—and instantly spotted a familiar figure in a yellow dress.
“Huh? Why is she here? I thought she was still dealing with family drama.”
“No way. The victims in that case are more united than ever—they’re out for blood. Her brother’s already been detained. Their family is panicking, hoping this charity auction will boost their public image—maybe even get them a headline or two to sway the jury.”
“Ha! Trying to scrub away a scandal with a bit of PR? Please. It’s a charity auction, not a magic trick. There’s no way throwing money around will erase their crimes. You know what? I don’t have a particular item I want to bid on… so why not have a little fun with her?”
“What are you planning?”
“Oh, nothing much. Just a bit of… justice.”

She’s cute!!
Lol at Yinyin “I’m still stuck in peasant mode”. Her thoughts are so cute,honest and adorable. Even while badmouthing others she’s just drop facts and opinion in a cute and honest way. Even the one being gossipped about trying to refute it will be hard because what Yinyin thought about are only her commentary and opinions. The one dropping facts and egging is Xiao Qi. Even Yinyin original inner monologue without Xiao Qi is so cute and have no bad intention behind them.
