In the dim room of an old residential area, the bamboo bed creaked embarrassedly under the unbearable weight.
Wu Pengpeng stared at the overlapping figures on the bed. Struck like by a thunderbolt, she froze on the spot.
She wanted to yell at the adulterous couple on the bed, but instead, she let out a retch. Leaning against the doorframe, she vomited violently.
Damn it! She wished she could buy a pair of unpolluted eyes at a high price!
Her loud vomiting alerted the people on the bed.
Huo Jingting turned around and saw Wu Pengpeng at the door. A flash of panic crossed his face.
He grabbed the bathrobe on the floor, put it on, got out of bed, and walked towards her, reaching out his hand to support her. "Why are you here?"
Wu Pengpeng dodged to the side, preventing him from touching her. "Don't touch me!"
Seeing the look of disgust on her face as if she were watching animals mating, Huo Jingting felt an inexplicable surge of anger.
Although Wu Pengpeng was his official girlfriend, in the ten years they had been together, the most intimate thing they had done was hold hands.
As a normal, hot - blooded man, it would be a problem if he remained unmoved in the face of such beauty.
He grabbed Wu Pengpeng's chin and forced her to look into his eyes.
"You're a thirty - year - old spinster. Do you still think you're a teenage innocent girl?"
Wu Pengpeng never expected that Huo Jingting, who usually maintained an image of a "gentleman," would swear.
She wanted to sneer at him, but looking at his familiar face, she suddenly couldn't suppress the nausea welling up in her heart.
Huo Jingting was unexpectedly splashed with her vomit. Furious, he let go of her. "Damn it! Wu Pengpeng, don't think I won't hit a woman!"
Wu Pengpeng wiped her mouth with her sleeve. Looking at Qin Ledi, who was flushed behind him, she said sarcastically, "Sorry, I'm allergic to chickens and ducks."
She was indirectly scolding them as cheap.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Huo Jingting didn't retort. He glared at her fiercely and walked towards the bathroom, muttering curses.
"Sister Peng!" Qin Ledi said with a victorious look on her face. "Name your price. How much will you take to leave Huo Jingting?"
Well, this sounded familiar. Isn't this the exclusive line of a malicious mother - in - law in a wealthy family?
Seeing the mocking look on Wu Pengpeng's face, Qin Ledi's expression became even more contemptuous. "Stop pretending to be noble. Weren't you evicted by the landlord for not being able to pay the rent?"
Wu Pengpeng never expected that Huo Jingting would tell Qin Ledi such things. She felt as if she had been slapped in public, ashamed and angry.
"Why?" She stared at Huo Jingting, who came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, with a look that could kill a thousand times.
Huo Jingting had completely abandoned his dignity and said boldly, "If I'm with her, her father will invest in my acting career and give me five million."
Sure enough, it was for the money!
Wu Pengpeng sneered. "For just five million, you're willing to turn yourself into a dog?"
"Just five million?" Qin Ledi seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world and sneered. "Your monthly manuscript fee is less than a thousand yuan. You won't earn that much in ten lifetimes!"
She took out a stack of banknotes from her wallet and threw them in Wu Pengpeng's face. "This is my reward for you. Get out, you stinky writer! You think you can win the Nobel Literature Prize? You're more likely to win the Nobel Joke Prize."
These words undoubtedly touched Wu Pengpeng's sore spot.
The dog - man could be snatched away, but her dream couldn't be insulted!
She raised her hand and slapped Qin Ledi. Almost at the same time, Huo Jingting slapped her.
His slap was extremely powerful. Wu Pengpeng's head hit the doorframe, and she was numb for a long time.
"Since you two want to be famous so badly, see you on the hot search tomorrow." She left this harsh word and turned to leave.
Hearing this, Huo Jingting was greatly alarmed. He had just gained a little fame recently because of an online drama.
If the cheating scandal broke out, it would definitely ruin his acting career.
He chased after her and grabbed Wu Pengpeng at the stairwell. "Give me your phone!"
Actually, Wu Pengpeng didn't take any photos at all. She said that just to vent her anger.
Seeing the killing intent in Huo Jingting's eyes, she felt a little scared. "I didn't..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was pushed from behind. She stumbled and rolled down the stairs, dying on the spot with a mangled body.
Her soul left her body and hovered in the air.
She saw Huo Jingting dragging Qin Ledi quickly fleeing the scene of the accident without even looking at her.
There were few residents in this old residential area, and no one passed by at night.
Looking at her unattended body, Wu Pengpeng thought sadly that in her next life, she would rather be crushed to death by money than die of poverty.
The next second, her soul was torn by a huge force and fell into the boundless darkness.
When she regained consciousness, she only felt boundless pain.
She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and she couldn't open them.
She wanted to shout for help, but her throat seemed to be choked and she couldn't make a sound.
Wu Pengpeng sighed in her heart and gave up struggling.
At this time, she heard a flattering male voice. "She's already dead. Don't worry, Third Brother. I've made it look very natural."
Then some cold liquid was poured on her face, and the strong smell of alcohol immediately entered her nostrils.
The flattering male voice also sounded. "Drunk and accidentally fell from the castle. The police won't find any flaws."
After a brief silence, a cold male voice said, "The Second Master won't short you the reward you deserve."
Something heavy was thrown on the ground, and the cold male voice sounded again. "Take this money and get out of Jincheng!"
After a rustling sound, the flattering male voice responded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Third Brother. I'll take a taxi and leave tonight!"
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Wu Pengpeng felt as if her whole body was torn apart. Every inch of her body ached.
She tried hard to open her eyes but lost consciousness in the intense pain.
I don't know how long it had passed, but finally there was a glimmer of light in front of her.
Wu Pengpeng suddenly opened her eyes and was stunned.
This was a... castle.
The underworld shown in TV dramas wasn't like this!
She instinctively pinched her arm to see if she was dreaming.
"Ouch! It hurts!" A childish voice sounded.
Wu Pengpeng looked around. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, dilapidated, and empty.
Her scalp went numb. "Who are you?"
The childish voice gasped. "I'm the Heavenly Dao."
"Heavenly Dao?" What the hell?
"I'm not a ghost. I'm the manager of the space - time order. I heard your dying wish and came to help you fulfill it."
Wu Pengpeng was a bit confused. "So I'm still alive?"
"Yes, but you're not far from death."
Just reborn and about to die again. What kind of world is this!
Perhaps sensing her anger, the Heavenly Dao coughed lightly. "But you have a chance to survive. It depends on whether you're willing to accept it."
"What chance?"
"This is the Yun Country in a parallel world. You're now the only heir of Wu Di, the world's richest man."
The heir of the richest man. It sounded very rich!
"However," the Heavenly Dao changed the subject, "you must squander all of the Wu family's assets within three years. Otherwise, you'll be crushed to death by the remaining money of the Wu family."
Wu Pengpeng readily accepted. "I'm willing!"
Who wouldn't be willing to just waste money every day without doing anything? Only a fool wouldn't!
The Heavenly Dao hesitated for a moment. "Don't you want to confirm how much the Wu family's assets are first?"
"No need!" Wu Pengpeng rubbed her hands excitedly. "I can squander any amount of money!"
