“That bastard,” Yao Yuan muttered under his breath.

  “Our Yao familywould have benefited so much from the relationship, but that’s never going to happen now.”


  Across the room, Yao Ransmiled to herself. She walked over to him and said, “I’m sorry about all of this, Dad. This happened because I didn’t look after Sister properly. I’m the one to blame here.”


  Her voice was soft and full of regret.

  Yao Yuan’s anger cooled a little. “No, no. Dad doesn’t blame Ranran. Everything is Yao Tang’s fault. Not only is she going around fighting like a criminal, but she’s also flaunting her indecent activities.Ranran, don’t be like her, okay? That girl is wasting her life away.”


  “But I don’t think sister did it on purpose Didn’t she go to the Qin family last time?” Yao Ran furrowed her brows and spoke her next words slowly.

  “Maybe sister is just good friends with the owner of that flashy sports car. I’m sure it’s nothing like what those malicious people are imagining. Sister can’t be that kind of person.”


  Her usually clear eyes were clouded with worry.

  Yao Yuan let out a heavy breath.

  ‘Ha! I won’t be surprised if that brat actually turned out to be worse than the rumors say!’ He thought to himself.

  Even if Yao Tangwas innocent, who would believe her anyway? She had come out of a luxury car wearing branded clothes and shoes, and she was also well-connected with the Qin family.

  Yao Yuan paused. ‘Wait… the Qin family!’


  His eyes glinted deviously as he turned and sized Yao Ranup. “Ranran, you’re turning 17 this year, right? Do you have a boy you like?”


  Yao Ran blushed. “What are you saying, Dad? I’m focusing on my studies right now. I don’t have time for boys.”


  “Of course, of course,” Yao Yuannodded, satisfied with her answer.

  “Well, let me tell you this. The eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Rui, is considered a prize catch. He’s managed to establish and develop a career even at such a young age. Well, I’m not pressuring you or anything, but you should know that there is no other young man like him in all ofCity A.”


  Yao Yuan leaned back against the sofa and sniffed. “Since your sister is an ungrateful idiot who doesn’t know how to appreciate favors, your mother and I have no choice but to count onyou to help ourYao family.”


  He gave the girl a meaningful glance.

  “But, what about my sister…” Yao Ransaid with hesitation, her lips pursed. “I don’t want to take her potential marriage partner.”


  “What marriage are you talking about?” Yao Yuanthundered. “Her reputation is all but tarnished. A prominent family like the Qins would never bother with her in the future. She did this to herself, too, so she can’t blame us for dropping her like a hot potato.”


  “What are you planning to do then, Dad?”


  Yao Ran’s eyes were wide with false na?veté.

  Yao Yuan sneered and looked out the window. “I’m going to ruin her for good. That should put her in the Qin family’s bad graces, and she won’t have any hope of marrying into their family in the future!”


  The next day, the school forum was abuzz with another exposé.

  Someone had posted a video of Yao Tang getting out of some rich man’s car in what looked to be a residential area. The man then ushered her into one of the massive villas.

  It was shot in such a way that Yao Tang’s face and figure were clear, dispelling any possible questions about the girl’s identity.

  As a result, those who had initially refused to believe the rumors were now silent. Yao Tang’s supporters dwindled, and eventually, nobody bothered to speak up for her anymore. With that single video clip, everyone was convinced that she was indeed making money withher body.

  In the Yao residence, Yao Yuansmugly scrolled through the comments on his phone. Beside him wasYao Ran, who was also keeping tabs on the school forum.

  “Dad, are you sure we’re doing the right thing?” she asked meekly. “Young Master Qin is also in this video.”


  “Humph! So what if he is? We’ve already edited it so that his face is covered, didn’t we? Besides, Yao Tangis the main attraction of the video. There’s no way she can get out of this now.”


  Yao Ran lowered her head to hide her delighted expression. “We don’t have to be so considerate of such a worthless child,” Yao Yuanadded angrily.

  With this, their parents had completely given up on Yao Tang, makingYao Ranthe family’s only young lady of note. “This is how it should be,’ she thought to herself. ‘How dare that bumpkin dare to try and take everything from me?’


  Online, the netizens were having a field day with the video post, and they wasted no time flooding the comment section.

  “Haha! Yesterday, a bunch of people were still trying to defend Yao Tang. Now, open your eyes and see the proof for yourselves! Your idol is emerging from a luxury car yet again! Can we call her the S-word now?”


  “All right, everyone, stop giving her attention! What’s so good about a girl like that, anyway?” “Tsk, she can’t even compare to Yao Ran. I don’t understand why so many people like her. How did she even become the campus belle in the first place??”


  “Oh wow, I wasn’t going to believe what people were saying, but now that evidence has been released, only an idiot would continue to defend her.”


  “Oh my God, this is just embarrassing. Her classmates must be mortified.”


  “Hahaha! Class 20’s adviser is very fond of her, too. I wonder what her reaction will be once the news reaches her. I wish I could be there to see it!”


  Yao Yuan and Yao Ran lounged in their massive living room, enjoying the ruthless comments that were popping on the post they had instigated.
