Chapter 386: Reprisal Card

【Alright, how many cards shall we draw?】

【Ten cards, then!】

【Okay!】

Wulongcha summoned the screen, skillfully used a Lucky Card on Su Yu, and then let her draw.

Su Yu opened the New Card:

【Reprisal Card】: an eye for an eye, returning others' malice tenfold. Note: kind‑hearted people should not use it! Su Yu's heart is as kind as Heisenberg's. She had Wulongcha give each of those people one, spending six of the ten cards.

【Depending on the situation, if they refuse to repent, there are four more here; if that's not enough we'll draw again!】

Wulongcha disagreed, 【Next time you use a Lucky Card, think of a different way to mess with them; we can advance the card‑unlock progress while still dealing with the villains!】

【Alright!】

Wulongcha went and used the Reprisal Card on those six people.

Zhao Wanqi was one of the six people who were "tricked" by the fake Su Yu.

It was just an ordinary day; they stayed at home, watching those online folks call them a fool, pulling up the words they once posted online professing love for Su Yu to mock them as foolish! Criticizing their feelings for Su Yu! "A bunch of brainless idiots!"

Zhao Wanqi got so angry they shouted profanities! This wasn't their first time losing composure! Every time they saw it, they would berate the brainless netizens and then lose their temper in the living room!

At times like this, their parents would coax them and give them a large allowance!

They followed the planned route downstairs, but saw their sister arguing with their parents there.

Zhao Wanqi furrowed their brows, "Aren't you married off? What are you doing back home?"

Zhao Wanqi always thought that the shrinking size of their own company was closely tied to the sister! Back then a CEO had taken a liking to the sister, wanting a marriage alliance between the two families to boost their company.

What a great thing!

But the sister is foolish, turning down the CEO's wife role to marry a useless classmate. Over the years they've been struggling; not to mention making big money, the couple even carries a loan, becoming a complete joke in the circle!

Zhao Laidi saw her brother, whose ambitions were sky‑high, overconfident and terribly temperamental; recalling the rumor she had overheard, her mood worsened!

"Did you ever date Shi Yinyin?"

Zhao Wanqi's brows furrowed tighter, "You married off and are an outsider; why are you meddling in my affairs?"

Zhao Laidi looked at their parents, saw the same expression, and almost fainted in anger!

But for her own benefit she forced herself not to faint! Back then she endured pressure, married a classmate instead of marrying the remarried CEO to help the family business; her parents were extremely displeased, but eventually they accepted it.

During festivals, even if her parents disliked her, they would still give her some favors for face. Living somewhat cramped in Jingdu, Zhao Laidi didn't want to give up these days of extracting benefits from the Natal Home.

If that ultimate brother‑supporting witch Shi Yinyin married in, Zhao family's chance to extract benefits from home would become impossible! The Zhao family would likely be emptied by Shi Yinyin, everything transferred to the Shi family.

Zhao Laidi snarled, "I overheard Shi Yinyin say she's pregnant, and it's your child!"

Both Zhao Laidi and Shi Yinyin are sister‑supporting types, a contrast pair. Zhao Laidi maintains a rational persona outwardly, whereas Shi Yinyin is the ultimate brother‑supporting witch, indulging her brother to an unbelievable degree.

What infuriates Zhao Laidi is that, as a rational woman, her reputation in the circle is actually worse than that of the idiot Shi Yinyin! Many men think Shi Yinyin dotes on her brother too much, yet they also want a sister like that!

There are also women whose minds are clouded who think Shi Yinyin is great! A good older sister! Zhao Laidi schemed endlessly and eventually married an ordinary person. She couldn't accept that Shi Yinyin, who should be scolded as a brother‑supporting witch, married better than she did, so she constantly probes her whereabouts! When she learned that Shi Yinyin, heavily pregnant, was hiding at home, Zhao Laidi couldn't help but laugh with joy! She once disregarded the mortgage and lavishly prepared a feast to celebrate! The joy she felt then now feels disgusting! Shi Yinyin is actually going to become her sister‑in‑law? What a hellish joke! If she truly gives birth to a son, her mother won't raise the child, and Shi Yinyin's status would surpass hers! After comparing herself with Shi Yinyin for half a lifetime, Zhao Laidi can't stand it! She must give her parents and brother eye drops in advance, so Shi Yinyin can't have it better than her!

"Impossible! She's been with so many, how can you be sure it's mine!"

Zhao Wanqi was just joking around with good friends! Shi Yinyin proactively approached them, wanting to play a game, giving money for her brother to wipe his butt!

Zhao Laidi's mother wore a disgusted expression, "Pregnant, so what? Our family's grandson cannot crawl out of a woman like that!"

Zhao Laidi thought her mother was sick! Is this you saying it can't be just because you say it can't?

"Her belly's so big she's about to give birth; don't you think about what to do?"

Zhao Wanqi thought their sister was brainless, unable to understand human speech.

"I already said it's not mine, are you an idiot?"

Zhao Laidi really felt she was an idiot, enduring this humiliation here for that little money! Yet thinking of the mortgage that would soon be paid off at home, she had to be an idiot again, bearing this.

"What if? Do you really want to marry her into the family? Now the brother's online popularity is huge; if she causes a scene online and the brother is held responsible, and netizens boycott the family's goods, our family would be finished!"

Zhao Laidi thought, regardless of what happens later, she must first take this money for the tip‑off!

Zhao Laidi's parents looked at their own son.

Zhao Wanqi frowned, confident in their judgment that the child wasn't theirs, but all those days of Hot Search and gossip marketing accounts weren't watched in vain. Among them was an unlucky person whose family's stock price fell due to public opinion, was driven out of the house, and lost inheritance rights! Those online idiots only care about shouting, ignoring how that public opinion could harm a victim like them! Fortunately the family has only one precious son; the parents value him, and Zhao Laidi's marriage out of the family doesn't affect his status. Otherwise, he might now be ruined by those people! "I'll send someone to make contact!"

In other words, this doesn't concern you!

Zhao Laidi, hearing her brother's words, felt steadier. She wouldn't just cling to her beloved son and boast that she's the mother of the Zhao family's hero, seeking good face before her somewhat sensible father.

"Dad!"

Zhao Wanqi's father, with a face similar to Zhao Wanqi's, said, "Go back, it's so late, you don't have time to cook, take the child and have a good meal."

Zhao Laidi saw her dad swipe his phone, apparently transferring money to her, then felt her pocket phone vibrate, and, seeing a good opportunity, said, "Mom and dad, I'm heading back first, take care of yourselves!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Laidi's mother despised her daughter's blackmail‑like money‑asking tactic, ignored her, and focused on handing tea to the beloved son!

Zhao Laidi stepped out and immediately took out her phone.

"Tch, only twenty thousand, and you talk about a good meal? What good can you eat!"

She said that, but Zhao Laidi hurriedly used the money to pay off the mortgage. Born in a son‑preferring family, scheming is ingrained in her bones!

The child can be given up, but the house must be hers! Over the years, she sold everything she owned since childhood to pay the house's down payment before marriage, and she was also paying the mortgage, aiming to hold onto the house so that if her husband strayed and they divorced, she would get the money! Now the mortgage is finally paid off, the house is hers! The side income from the Natal Home is no longer that important!

Zhao Laidi left feeling refreshed, while Zhao Wanqi's whole family fell into a certain gloom!

The Shi family called. Shi Yinyin really was holding her soon‑to‑be‑born belly, saying it was Zhao Wanqi's baby, and shamelessly showed a video! Zhao Wanqi tried to deny it but couldn't!

Zhao Wanqi knew how many people Shi Yinyin had been with; they really didn't want to acknowledge it! Even if it were truly theirs, they didn't want to marry! Marrying Shi Yinyin would cast a shady veil over them! Zhao Wanqi's father was somewhat more rational than Zhao Wanqi. The Shi family seemed guided by a master, exploiting Zhao Wanqi's current poor reputation, forcing the Zhao family to accept the matter.

Moreover, after accepting Shi Yinyin, they could claim Shi Yinyin and Zhao Wanqi were a good match, while Zhao Wanqi's admiration for Su Yu was merely idol‑like.
