You said you hated men, why are your eyes now full of love?-Chapter 86 - You Two Won’t Survive Six - s, Got It?

This world was like a huge, makeshift troupe.

It could unexpectedly throw a major twist into your life with an absurdity level comparable to mixing spaghetti with concrete.

Ji Mu never imagined that he was the long-lost young master of Jiangcheng's richest family.

The middle-aged man who claimed to be his uncle actually was his uncle—or rather, his eldest uncle: Ji Shihua, a seasoned politician who had been in government for many years.

If it weren't for visiting an old childhood friend—the principal—Ji Shihua wouldn't even have had the time or excuse to attend such a private school's swearing-in ceremony. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was lowering himself just to be here.

But who would have thought that this act of humility would lead him to find his long-lost nephew?

They called this "searching high and low only to find it effortlessly."

With proof in hand, Ji Shihua was eager to take his dear nephew back to Jiangcheng to reconnect with his roots and family.

It took quite a while for the principal to persuade him to calm down.

The current situation of the Ji family was indeed extremely complicated.

At the old residence, the grandfather sent people day and night to search for clues about his missing eldest grandson. Even Jiangcheng's entire underground forces were implicated and purged.

In contrast, Ji Mu's biological father, Ji Minghua—the richest man in Jiangcheng—had a somewhat ambiguous attitude toward his lost son.

They were searching, and the urgency was real. Yet, Ji Shihua couldn't shake a strange feeling.

It seemed like the family cared more about the imposter posing as the young master.

Just a few days ago, they threw him a lavish sixteenth birthday party in the city, which nearly sent the old man to the hospital from anger.

What a joke!

How could a fake be more important than the real thing?

Couldn't the couple and their daughters put together a single complete brain?

Suppressing his anger, Ji Shihua collected some DNA samples on the spot, planning to conduct another paternity test himself.

The semester would end in just over a month.

Before leaving, the principal agreed to bring Ji Mu back to Jiangcheng at the start of his sophomore year of high school.

It was the afternoon, near the end of the school day.

The sunset spread across the sky.

The row of windows along the corridor was coated with a faint golden hue.

Walking out of the principal's office, Ji Mu's expression was still somewhat dazed.

Having risen suddenly from a dying illness, he thought, "I'm actually a hidden noble?"

[No, host…]

The system's envy was almost palpable.

[I was just saying it jokingly before, but you really are a young master?!]

The system's mindset was now identical to the saying: "I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm also afraid he's driving a Land Rover."

"Do you think this is great fortune falling from the sky?"

Ji Mu crossed his arms. His tone was indifferent. He showed no joy at discovering he was the heir to a wealthy family.

"Based on my experience with melodramatic, female-oriented novels, the biological parents of this body are probably those eccentric old folks who embody abstract concepts."

[Ah, this...]

The system slapped its forehead as if awakening from a dream.

[Who would expect things to be normal after being transported to a different world?]

Exactly!

According to the conservation law of "true and fake young master" novels:

If the host is the fake young master, the real young master will make a strong comeback. He will whine and pretend to be pitiful while stealing all the family's attention and love. Eventually, he will drive the host out of the house.

Conversely, if the host is the real young master, the fake young master will be adept at pretending. He will rely on the affection he received from his parents to secretly speak ill of the host while outwardly acting like a good person. He will frame and slander the host in various ways and ultimately drive the host out of the house.

No matter what, it won't end well.

[Host, the Ji family is a den of dragons and tigers. It's not worth venturing into.]

The system showed a worried and anxious expression.

On the neighboring novel platform, there was already a book with this plot.

In female-oriented novels, this kind of plot would be stretched out over hundreds of chapters with nonstop suffering until the final reunion.

Oh my, save me!

"It doesn't matter. I didn't come to this world to gain their approval."

Ji Mu's face remained calm.

"No matter how the fake young master or the eccentric parents act, as long as task progress isn't affected, they can perform their melodramatic soap opera."

[Exactly! That's the right mindset, host,] the system praised enthusiastically.

[I was worried you might abandon the tasks and enjoy the life of a pampered young master with someone helping you brush your teeth every morning.]

Ji Mu shrugged. "I don't know about others, but I'm not happy."

Living under the roof of a wealthy family is precarious. There is constant scheming and fighting over the inheritance, which is busy and exhausting.

Who would want to stay there?

The system wholeheartedly agreed.

[By the way, host, your uncle's appearance just now caused a change in the Prajna Instrument.]

Suddenly remembering something, the system flew into the air in the form of a little sprite and happily waved its tiny fists.

[It seems the major plot update for the next book is coming, so the heroine list on the Prajna Instrument has added another name! Yay!]

Upon hearing this news, Ji Mu's heart stirred for the first time in a long while.

Another 25 million has appeared?

Curious, he said, "Let me take a look."

[Alright!]

A light blue virtual screen floated into his view.

…

Mission Target: Yu Hua

Height: 175 cm

Weight: 110 lbs

Race: Succubus

Affection Level Towards Males: ????

Background:

She is the beginning of desire and the poison of infatuation.

In the depths of an eternal prison, a crimson blood pool engulfs her body. Thousands of poisonous insects burrow into her torn skin, gnawing at her organs and snapping her bones.

Her nightmares repeat endlessly. Her soul is indifferent, yet her heart remembers deeply.

Beware of that figure she resents, obsesses over, and crosses the boundaries of life and death for. The greedy coveter desires to possess every inch of skin and every strand of soul.

…

"Hmm..."

After reading the profile card, Ji Mu was completely bewildered.

Obsessed to the point of crossing the boundaries of life and death?

Wow, who would have thought that the second money tree was such a passionate character?

I wonder who the unlucky person is that she loves and hates so intensely.

"By the way, why is the affection for males set to three question marks and not refreshed?"

[It might refresh once you meet her in Jiangcheng.]

"Alright."

Ji Mu didn't dwell on it.

The first task wasn't even finished yet, so there was no point in overthinking miscellaneous details.

Making money is something that needs to be done step by step.

Speaking of which, I wonder when the final plot point involving the silly goose will come.

Feeling depressed, he heard a faint, incessant noise coming from outside the window.

"Since you transferred to this class and met me, Classmate Ruan, it's fate. If it's convenient, could you share your contact information? If there are any issues you'd prefer not to discuss with the teacher, I could consult with you privately."

"Sorry, it's not convenient."

"Heh, Classmate Ruan, we're in the same class, after all. You can't deny me this small favor, can you?"

"Mm."

Recognizing the girl's voice, Ji Mu perked up slither.

Hey, the silly goose is being hit on!

Eager to join the fun and see who had the courage to charge forward for love, he was reminded by the system's prompt.

[Host, it's the twin scoundrel male leads!]

Ji Mu's body froze, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

He looked through the window towards the ground passage leading to the office building. At that moment, the two scoundrels who looked identical and were pestering the girl appeared in his line of sight. free𝑤ebnovel.com
