Chapter 1 Is My Brain Working Well?
Amidst the noisy backstage area, Cheng Mai seemed to have taken a nap.

"We can't afford any mistakes this time," famous actress Cheng Ying whispered to Cheng Mai's agent.

The agent immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Cheng, everything is ready. We'll make her look stupid all over the world, just like we did before.

Cheng Ying glanced at Cheng Mai, who was sleeping against the wall, with a hint of malice in her eyes. "You overconfident fool, you still want to compete with me for the Cheng Group? Don't you even know if you have the brains?"

"Teacher Cheng is right. This kind of brainless idiot is only fit to be your stepping stone, your reference point," the agent flattered.

"Two minutes until the start of 'This is Chinese Style,' please get ready, all guests and teachers," the stage manager announced through a megaphone.

Cheng Ying turned to leave, and her manager immediately put on a stern face, grabbed the sleeping Cheng Mai and pulled her up, saying, "The show is about to start, hurry up."

Cheng Mai staggered a step, his eyes sharply fixed on his agent, before returning to his listless state as the agent was taken aback.

The agent couldn't help but shudder. He must have been mistaken. How could this brainless woman have such a terrifying gaze?

She pushed Cheng Mai again, saying, "Hurry up and get on stage. Bringing you along is the worst thing that could happen to me."

"This is Chinese Style" is a cultural variety show launched by GemTV. Its main purpose is to establish a cultured persona for celebrities. It is no secret that the invited guests will provide answers.

However, Cheng Mai did not get the answer.

Because her good sister brought her here today with the intention of making her look bad.

The program began its live broadcast, and the guests who received the answers answered extremely quickly, showcasing their "brilliant talents," with Cheng Ying being the most outstanding among them.

"It seems our Teacher Cheng truly comes from a family with a strong academic background. However, we still have another Teacher Cheng who hasn't answered the question yet. How about we leave this 'Three Teas and Six Gifts' to Teacher Cheng Mai?" The host, having received instructions from the program team, looked meaningfully at Cheng Mai, who had been leaning against the edge.

The eldest daughter of the Cheng family is all looks and no brains; she's made quite a few jokes in the entertainment industry.

Cheng Ying frowned. Cheng Mai hadn't answered any questions yet, which wasn't like her usual self.

Cheng Mai slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Ying, who was looking at her. "My father was bewitched by a rotten whore back then, which is why he insisted on divorcing his first wife, whom he had betrothed with great ceremony."

"Cheng Mai, what do you mean?" Cheng Ying had wanted to see her make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect Cheng Mai to insult her mother.

"What I mean is, how dare an illegitimate child born out of deceit and illicit relations put on a persona of a scholarly family with a long history of learning in front of everyone? Even a dog would shake its head in disbelief." Cheng Mai leaned lazily against the answering platform, looking at Cheng Ying, whose face was flushed, with a half-smile.

The viewers shaking their heads in the live stream: "..."

Is this woman out of her mind? But why is her mouth so foul?
The production team panicked and had the live stream shut down.

As Cheng Ying stared at Cheng Mai, a sudden thought surged within her: she wanted to tear Cheng Mai's mouth apart. "Cheng Mai, who do you think you are?"

"Snapped--"

With lightning speed, Cheng Mai grabbed Cheng Ying's wrist and slapped her across the face with his other hand, knocking her to the ground.

The host wanted to stop it, but was stunned by the slap and the look in Cheng Mai's eyes.

Cheng Mai grabbed the host's sleeve and vigorously wiped his hands. "A 30,000-word apology letter, exposing all the disgusting things you've done over the years, or I'll help you."

“And you.” Cheng Mai turned around and pointed at the manager who ran up to her. “If you like being Cheng Ying’s dog so much, then stay by your dog owner’s side.”

The agent was shocked. How could Cheng Mai, who was always so clueless, suddenly seem like a completely different person?

Cheng Mai's gaze swept over everyone present, and surprisingly, not a single person dared to step forward to stop her.

"To be honest, everyone here is trash." Cheng Mai said this and then left with a flourish.

The driverless car drove out of the underground parking lot. Cheng Mai sat in the back and rubbed his throbbing temples. His brain was suddenly filled with too many things, but it was no longer a daze as before; instead, it was clear and organized.

When Cheng Mai returned to the Cheng family home, the once magnificent hall was in a mess. Several burly men were carrying down a Buddha statue of some unknown type from upstairs. With a crash, the "Buddha statue" shattered on the ground.

"Are you all crazy? I've already called the police!" Mr. Cheng shouted, protecting his wife and pointing at the men. Seeing Cheng Mai enter, he immediately questioned, "Did you hire these people? Cheng Mai, are you insane?"

Cheng Mai took off his sunglasses, waved to the men, and they nodded slightly before leaving in an orderly fashion.

"Look at you, you're the epitome of a delinquent. Compared to your sister..."

"Shh—" Cheng Mai put his ring finger to his lips, signaling his father to shut up. "I've been a bit bored lately, so I took some of your hair and Cheng Ying's hair to do a DNA test. Guess what?"

"Cheng Mai!" Madam Cheng screamed, looking at Cheng Mai and the shattered Buddha fragments scattered on the ground with fear.

Cheng Mai smiled, stuffed the test report into her father's hand, glanced at the butler not far away, who was said to be Mrs. Cheng's distant cousin, and stepped on the shards, making a soft crunching sound, like something was wailing.

The sound sent chills down Madam Cheng's spine, and her face grew even paler.

Looking at the results in the report, what else could Cheng's father not understand? He just couldn't believe it, his hands trembling.

"It's all fake, it's all fake. She's framing my daughter and me," Madam Cheng explained urgently.

“A few days ago, Auntie had Butler Liu trick me into going to the basement and locking me up. I accidentally picked up a few strands of Butler Liu’s hair and had a different test done.” Cheng Mai took out another report. “If I remember correctly, Auntie was brought to my house by Butler Liu back then, and she climbed into my dad’s bed, right?”

Now that things had come to this, Mr. Cheng understood everything. He slapped Mrs. Cheng to the ground, yelling, "You bitch!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Butler Liu, who was in the corner, turned around and ran away.

Cheng Mai caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and merely gave a sarcastic smile.

"It's all fake, she framed me," Madam Cheng continued to argue.

When Cheng Ying returned from outside, she pounced on Cheng Mai like a madwoman. The video of her going crazy on the show was leaked, and now her image is completely ruined. It's all because of that bitch Cheng Mai who ruined everything for her.

Cheng Mai easily dodged, and Cheng Ying missed her target, but she still shouted and cursed, trying to fight Cheng Mai.

Mr. Cheng stared at Cheng Ying in shock. In his memory, his youngest daughter had always been smart, clever, obedient, and sensible, but now she seemed like a madwoman spewing filth.

No, this is not his daughter!
Cheng Mai squatted down and grabbed Cheng Ying by the neck, forcing her to look up at him. "Do I even have a brain?"

Cheng Ying glared at Cheng Mai, her eyes filled with vicious hatred.

When Madam Cheng heard this, she felt as if her soul had been ripped out. Cheng Mai knew everything and had destroyed her talisman array without her knowledge.

"It's bad enough that a scumbag hiding in the shadows stole so many years of my life and doesn't know how to be grateful, but who gave you the courage to be so arrogant and domineering even now?"

After Cheng Mai finished speaking, he threw Cheng Ying, whose hands were covered in blood, back to Madam Cheng's side. Cheng Ying tried to tear at Cheng Mai, but Madam Cheng held her back desperately. They were no match for Cheng Mai now.

Cheng Mai stood up and looked down at the mother and daughter on the ground, but Madam Cheng dared not look at her.

Cheng Mai chuckled and glanced at her father, whose hands were trembling violently. As she turned to leave, she declared loudly, "From now on, I will take over the Cheng Group. Since Father is not feeling well, he should rest and recuperate."
