Yun Zhi Yue smiled and said, "Alright, stop joking around. If we don’t eat soon, my stomach will be empty! Mom, is there anything good to eat today?"
Lan Mu replied with a hint of annoyance, "How could I forget about Miss Yun? By the way, has Nan Jing really not been dating you?"
"Oh come on, I’ve already said no! He must have taken something wrong. Why do you keep asking? Just eat a chicken wing and keep your mouth shut for a while. Don’t turn into a busybody or you might end up on the dinner table."
"How can you talk to your mother like that?"
Yun Fu chuckled, "Enough of the nonsense. Let’s not give A Tong a reason to laugh at us; everyone grab your chopsticks."
The lively atmosphere of the family made Yue Tong smile even brighter. She had once felt warmth like this, but now even the little warmth she had was taken away.
Her gaze settled on Yun Fu, who was sipping his drink with a relaxed expression. When he looked over, Yue Tong raised her glass in a toast.
What went down her throat was wine, but it turned into poison within her body.
After dinner, Yue Tong did not stay behind. Despite her father’s repeated invitations, she politely declined, as if she had truly only come to visit the Yun Family.
As she left the Yun Family's gate, Lan Mu's smile vanished in an instant as he toyed with the plate in his hand.
With a sarcastic tone, he said, "Old Yun, after all these years of marriage, I know you better than anyone else. You’ve crossed the line with that girl; what are you going to do about it?"
Yun Fu sighed deeply. "It’s all a mess. You two should just stay out of it; I’m this child’s father."
Their family was not simple; the forces involved were chaotic. As long as you two are on the same page, that’s enough. Don’t overstep; I’m worried...
Yun Zhi Yue looked confused. "Dad, can you be clearer?"
Yun Fu shook his head and trudged upstairs heavily. The mother and daughter exchanged glances downstairs, feeling that something was off.
Unfortunately, while Yun Fu allowed them to have their way in everything else, this matter was sealed tight.
Lan Mu ordered an investigation into the Yun Family's connections, but all leads seemed to vanish without a trace; it was clear that information was being suppressed.
Yun Zhi Yue was just a spoiled young lady who had no way to intervene; she decided to ignore it and carry on as usual.
She didn’t go to work and avoided Nan Jing for a while.
The aftermath of that kiss brought Nan Jing’s parents knocking on her door, clearly having heard some rumors.
They were neighbors after all; visiting each other was quite simple.
After waking from a deep sleep, she saw Nan Jing’s parents bringing over six gifts for her. The gleam in their eyes made her legs feel weak.
She intended to conquer Nan Jing, but she had no plans to marry him and spend her life with Xiao Jie. This was just a job, a job—who would fall in love with their work target?
"Cough, you really have to stick around. Even if you reach full conquest value, you can't just kill him and collect his soul right away; you'll have to wait for Nan Jing to die naturally."
Yun Zhi Yue's face turned pale green. "Shi Ge, you didn't say that at the beginning. You said once the conquest value is full, it’s done!"
"Yeah, that's true, but I didn’t have time to explain the details afterward," the Reincarnation Stone shamelessly replied.
"Then doesn’t that mean I not only have to reach full conquest value, but I also have to maintain that value until he dies? I can’t even annoy him at all? You might as well send me back to the Underworld; this job is something Ben Meng Po can't handle at all."
The Reincarnation Stone hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think. A normal person at ninety conquest value already sees you as their life. What we need is full value, meaning they must love you beyond life itself. Once you reach full value, even if you stab him, he won't lose any points."
What nonsense—love her beyond life! The Reincarnation Stone really thought highly of her. Was that truly love, or just a shallow obsession? Wasn’t that just like those perverted uncles and aunts who willingly sank into the Underworld and never sought rebirth?
