Everyone went crazy after the villainous female supporting character was bound to the system.

Ultimately, there was no choice at all; the worst outcome wouldn't be worse than the current situation.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Tianqing smiled at Grandpa Zhang in front of him: "Grandpa Zhang, I have to go out for a bit. We can play chess another day."

Grandpa Zhang's face darkened, and he was very displeased: "It's finally my turn, and you're trying to run away? What? You don't like me that much?"

Liu Tianqing sighed deeply: "There's no other way. I need to make money, otherwise I won't even be able to guarantee my current life in the future."

System Abai couldn't help but complain about her in the system space: "She acted quite convincingly, clearly showing her disdain for Grandpa Zhang's terrible chess skills."

Liu Tianqing clicked his tongue and said to the system Abai, "Is this a problem with playing bad chess? It's one thing to play badly, but to also like to take back moves! When you can't win, you cheat."

Grandpa Zhang overheard Liu Tianqing answering the phone, and didn't want to keep him any longer, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and casually asked:

"From your phone call, it sounds like something serious has happened."

Liu Tianqing remained calm: "It is a bit big. I was cast as the lead in a drama, but the capitalist threatened to withdraw his investment and made the drama use another actor. The director did not agree, and now the other party is saying that they are at odds with the director, which is causing the production team to be unable to attract investment."

Grandpa Zhang was speechless. It's just a matter of money. Is it worth sacrificing his chess partner for a whole day?

"How much money is it that makes you insist on leaving now? Besides, you're so poor yourself, how can you help with investment?"

“One hundred million.” Liu Tianqing looked dejected. “I definitely can’t invest in that, so I’m going to deal with the capital that made the promise.”

“I’ve invested 100 million. Now you’ll play chess with me.” Grandpa Zhang pulled Liu Tianqing aside: “When you get old, all you have left are these material possessions.”

Will Liu Tianqing stay? That's definitely not the case.

"Thanks, I'll tell the director this good news. I've read the script, and it should be profitable if nothing unexpected happens. But even with your investment, we can't prevent those people from causing trouble behind the scenes. Besides, the director and the others haven't given up, so I can't hold them back, can I?"

"We must prevent this from happening again. I'm afraid they'll keep causing trouble. Who can stand that?"

Staying to play chess? That's impossible!

Liu Tianqing looked righteous and indignant. Today she was going to expose the Wen family's corrupt practices, and it was definitely not to avoid playing chess with Grandpa Zhang.

Upon hearing Liu Tianqing's words, Grandpa Zhou, a bystander, suddenly became interested and asked Liu Tianqing, "Which director is he? He's such a refreshing person, unafraid of power. He's a promising talent."

"It's directed by Liu Tao. This time, the drama is a post-apocalyptic story," Liu Tianqing said with a smile, promoting the series.

The movie made money, and so did she; she planned to secretly invest some money in it as well.

While everyone was chatting, Liu Tao and his group arrived at the Yiyangju (Elderly Care Residence).

Liu Tianqing glanced at Zhang Hong, who was sitting nervously in the driver's seat, and was taken aback: "You're so nervous about driving?"

Zhang Hong's lips trembled: "I've had my driver's license for eight years, and this is the first time I've driven after getting it. I'm a little nervous."

Liu Tianqing glanced at the two people in the back seat: "Why aren't you driving?"

Jia Youwei smiled ingratiatingly and said, "We've had a few drinks. We shouldn't drink and drive, and we shouldn't drive after drinking, so as to avoid causing our loved ones to shed tears. We are law-abiding citizens."

"Tsk! How pathetic!" Liu Tianqing rolled her eyes. She could guess why the two of them were drinking without them saying anything.

Liu Tianqing rolled up his sleeves and said to Zhang Hong, "I'll drive."

Zhang Hong hurriedly got out of the car and sat in the passenger seat, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

Liu Tianqing drove very steadily and quickly followed the navigation to his destination—the Wen family.

Wen Lang had already received word that Liu Tao and his group were coming to the Wen family to find him, so he simply stayed home and waited for them.

Jiaqi and her child are playing with building blocks in the living room.

When Liu Tao and his three companions entered the hall, they saw that Jiaqi and the other two were dressed casually in their home clothes.

Liu Tianqing raised his eyebrows: "Ah Bai, what a coincidence, the Madman has appeared. To be honest, at first glance, he's not bad."

System Abai smacked its lips: "To be honest, she's not as good-looking as Yan Qingfeng, and her figure isn't as good as Xiao Ran's. Overall, I'd give her an eight out of ten."

Liu Tianqing rolled his eyes: "Eight points is already very high. You need to understand a principle of the Great Xia Kingdom: the best have already been handed over to the country. Don't be too picky about those that haven't been handed over."

Wen Lang sized up the four people, slowly put down his teacup, and did not invite them to sit down.

"Can my request be fulfilled now?"

Liu Tao and his two companions cowered and dared not move. They only knew that the Wen family was dissatisfied, but they did not expect that it was the head of the Wen family who was dissatisfied.

At first, they thought that someone from the Wen family was keeping the little starlet, but when they heard Wen Lang's child call Jiaqi "Mom," they realized that Jiaqi and Wen Lang had that kind of relationship.

Then they remembered what Liu Tianqing had said about Jiaqi and her mentally unstable partner forcing an innocent person to jump into the sea and die, and all three of them shuddered.

Suddenly I felt a chill down my back. Those three must be pretty tough, right?

Liu Tianqing pushed aside the three people blocking her way, sat down gracefully on the sofa, and looked at Wen Lang: "Trying to steal my role? Are you still dreaming?"

Wen Lang frowned: "Who told you to sit down?"

"Do you think I'd wait for someone as rude as you to speak up?"

Liu Tianqing looked completely bewildered: "You spread rumors that the Wen family and Liu Tao were at odds, just to force us to come to you. Now that we're here, you're serving us up. You wish!"

Wen Lang's face darkened, and he sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued."

“There are many things you haven’t thought of.” Liu Tianqing rolled his eyes: “Today we’re here to give you two choices: one, don’t interfere in the crew’s affairs; two, absolutely do not interfere in the crew’s affairs.”

Wen Lang looked at Liu Tianqing with a half-smile: "Your choice is quite unique."

Two identical choices – is it a threat or a sign of contempt for the Wen family?

When Liu Tao and the other two saw that Liu Tianqing had not only dared to sit on the sofa but was now threatening Wen Lang, they breathed a sigh of relief.

They almost forgot that their purpose in coming here today was to resolve the issue of the Wen family as the root cause.

Since there was no worse outcome anyway, the three of them immediately sat down casually next to Liu Tianqing.

Wen Lang was furious. What a Liu Tao! Bringing three people here wasn't a sign of weakness at all.

Jiaqi had been secretly observing the four of them ever since they entered. Her gaze turned to Liu Tianqing again, and she happened to meet his casual eyes.

After reading the narration, Liu Tianqing curled his lips and said to Wen Lang:

"I just don't understand you two crazy people. You were imprisoned and you even developed feelings for each other. Back then, she imprisoned you for seven days and forced you to have sex with her, sacrificing your ex-fiancé to the heavens. After you reunited, you imprisoned her for seven days and forced you to have sex with her, sacrificing her then-boyfriend to the heavens. Now that she lost her baby, who are you planning to sacrifice next?"

"Your earth-shattering love isn't going to be aimed at the four of us innocent people this time, is it? Your child is just incredibly unlucky to have parents like you."

Liu Tao and the other two gasped in shock: "Oh my god!!!"

What a crazy love story!

They really had a run of bad luck. Could it be that they'd stirred up trouble with a jinx?
