Chapter 9 God of Wealth
The system couldn’t persuade Yun Jiao anymore because it didn’t hear Yun Jiao speak.
Guilt was almost overwhelming the system. The system poked its finger, thinking about the host's pathetic life of being a tool, no one loving her, and having to live on cold hard cash. Feeling pity, the system silently went to the backstage to increase the task reward a lot.
The next day, Shen Ji learned that Yun Jiao and Shen Jinyan were going to the horse farm to play. He looked at the two of them with a slightly strange look, wanting to say something to Shen Jinyan, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Shen Jinyan ignored his conflicted feelings and after the meal went to discuss work matters with Secretary Jiang who came to the villa.
Without Shen Jinyan at the table, Shen Ji might have felt that he was thinking too much, so he relaxed instead. He quickly finished his breakfast and hurried to school.
Shen Ji is a senior high school student with a heavy workload. Plus, he doesn't want to be laughed at by the people in the old house, nor does he want to disappoint Shen Jinyan. The pressure is not small, and he dares not slack off at all.
Compared with the two brothers, Yun Jiao was much more relaxed. After breakfast, he went upstairs to play games.
After her parents passed away unexpectedly, Yun Jiao was busy trying to prevent the property left behind from being taken away by relatives, and she was also busy working. She rarely had such leisure time, and she liked to play some brainless games.
Seeing Yun Jiao opening one game after another and not showing any nervousness about meeting the male and female protagonists, the system couldn't help but poke Yun Jiao.
[Host, don't you dress up properly? ]
Yun Jiao turned over and said, "Does this affect my role as a tool and take the blame?"
The system thought for a moment: [No impact.]
"That's fine, don't bother me, I've already lost." Yun Jiao condemned.
system:"……"
How skillfully he passed the buck. Can this host really be a good scapegoat today?
Amid the system's worry, Yun Jiao continued playing games until the servant came to call her. She sighed, changed her clothes and went downstairs.
She was wearing a newly bought mint green dress. The dress was a shoulder-baring style, and the thin straps on her shoulders dug slightly into her fair skin, making her skin look whiter and more fragile.
Shen Jinyan had never seen Yun Jiao dressed like this before. In the past, Yun Jiao's clothes were always the type that were exaggerated and niche and unbearable to look at.
She suddenly changed her outfit, with no extra makeup on her face, her face was plain and pale. Perhaps it was the color of her skirt that made Yun Jiao look much more lively and younger, like a college student who had not yet graduated.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at the gray suit on his body, and his lips tightened a little.
Yun Jiao had never ridden in a car with Shen Jinyan before, and suddenly they were in such a space, and they were quite close. At first, she looked at the decorations inside the car with interest, but after the car drove for a distance, she opened the game she had just played out of boredom.
The car was very quiet. Apart from the occasional keyboard sounds and low game sound effects, there was no other sound.
After Shen Jinyan finished his work, he closed his notebook and smelled the scent of lime coming from beside him. He paused and had a clear understanding that there was a lady sitting in the car.
The sound of the game came into his ears again. Shen Jinyan glanced at Yun Jiao and saw that the game was still Candy Crush. The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Can Miss Yun ride a horse?"
Yun Jiao, who had successfully passed the test, turned his eyes away from the mobile phone screen. Thinking about whether the other party asked this because he was worried that she would embarrass him, he shook his head honestly.
"will not."
Horse racing is a sport that requires money and time, and has nothing to do with her modern 996 office worker lifestyle, so it would be strange if she did that.
Shen Jinyan didn't seem to expect Yun Jiao to know how to ride a horse, so he wasn't surprised to hear this answer. It seemed like a casual question, and he didn't say anything more on the topic afterwards.
The car stopped outside the horse farm soon. Looking at the various luxury sports cars parked outside, one could vaguely see that the owner of the horse farm was no ordinary person.
Yun Jiao followed Shen Jinyan in and was led by the waiter to a tea pavilion.
"Mr. Shen is finally here. I thought he was too busy to come." A gentle and gentlemanly man in casual clothes, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, stood up and asked the two to sit down. When he saw Yun Jiao, he politely kept his eyes on her for two seconds, and then asked the waiter to serve the two drinks.
"This is Miss Yun, right? I'm He Yuzhang, and it's an honor to meet you, Miss Yun."
He Yuzhang, one of the male protagonists in the original text, is cold on the outside but actually cold on the inside like Shen Jinyan. He has an immortal air and does not seem like a real person. He appears gentle and polite on the surface, but he is just as cruel as Shen Jinyan in his heart.
On the contrary, because of his status as an illegitimate child, he suffered a lot in his early years and is still a bit dark inside. He smiles gently on the surface, but can crush people into the mud in the next second.
Thinking of the methods used by the other party in the original text, Yun Jiao nodded, and then chose a seat farther away from He Yuzhang to sit down.
When He Yuzhang saw it, he smiled. He was already handsome, and when his expression softened, it made his face even more beautiful.
Knowing this man's true nature, Yun Jiao sat there steadily, not being tempted by the male beauty at all. She even had the leisure to ask the waiter to add more ice cubes to her drink.
When Shen Jinyan saw this, his brows unconsciously relaxed.
As soon as the two of them came in and saw Yun Jiao, Qiao Xianxian had a bad feeling.
Seeing how Shen Jinyan and He Yuzhang treated Yun Jiao at this moment, there was no rejection and dislike as she had expected. She had the illusion that something was beyond her expectations.
Qiao Xianxian's eyes were on Yun Jiao. This person who made her jealous and hateful in her previous life should have come to the party wearing inappropriate clothes, but now Yun Jiao was only wearing a simple dress that just suited her fair skin and thin waist.
There was clearly no trace of makeup on her face, but it outshone the nude makeup she had spent two hours carefully applying.
She looked so pure and sexy that even she wanted to take a second look.
Qiao Xianxian was a little anxious, secretly cursing Zhou Yan for taking so much money from her and yet doing things like this, allowing Yun Jiao to make a stunning appearance in front of He Yuzhang. Originally, she was planning to use Yun Jiao's vulgarity to set off her own beauty.
Qiao Xianxian, who was determined to put pressure on Zhou Yan when she returned, glared at He Yuzhang softly and said with a smile.
"Brother Yuzhang, why did you just sit down like that? You didn't even introduce me to Miss Yun."
He Yuzhang raised his eyebrows and raised his hand, allowing her to come.
After showing the familiarity between the two, Qiao Xianxian looked at Yun Jiao, and seeing a lot of iced juice in front of her, she pretended to remind her considerately.
"Miss Yun is going to run horses later, right? You'd better not drink cold drinks, lest you feel uncomfortable."
It was the first time that Yun Jiao saw the heroine. She had to say that although Qiao Xianxian was not the type who would stun people at first sight, she was also pretty and gentle, and was more suitable to be the white moonlight than her.
"I'm in good health, thank you for your concern."
Qiao Xianxian shook her head helplessly, as if looking at someone who refused to listen.
"Then if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. We are all girls, so it is convenient for us to communicate."
This sounds a bit weird.
After she finished speaking, the system reminder sounded.
[Host, please complete the task of being the scapegoat for hurting the heroine. The reward for completing the task is 50 million yuan. ]
Hearing that the reward had been increased several times, Yun Jiao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qiao Xianxian with more eagerness.
God of Wealth, this is!
