After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

[Host, host, come forward quickly, it's Lin Xiaoxiao, come forward and see] Where there is a female lead, something is definitely not normal, especially when she is arguing with someone.

"What kind of magic does the female lead possess? This is too much of a coincidence. How could we possibly meet like this?" Lin Guiyi muttered to himself.

Lin Guiyi quietly stepped forward and, taking advantage of Lin Xiaoxiao's inattention, slipped into a nearby shop, pressing himself against the wall so he could hear their voices better.

Thank goodness! Lin Guiyi relaxed her body and glanced around. She noticed the shop assistant's questioning look and, fearing that the other person might think she was a bad person, quickly explained in a low voice.

I don't know if the shop assistant believed me or not, but she nodded slightly and went back to work.

Lin Guiyi listened carefully to Lin Xiaoxiao and the others' conversation, extracted key words, and roughly pieced together the facts.

Basically, Lin Xiaoxiao and the other girl both wanted the same item, but the other girl won it. Lin Xiaoxiao was furious, thinking that the other girl had seen it first, so she pretended to be pitiful and asked her friend to stand up for her. Then the two sides argued, and neither side was willing to back down.

Lin Guiyi nodded repeatedly, his face full of excitement at having heard the gossip.

Lin Guiyi carefully observed the girl opposite Lin Xiaoxiao.

The other person was very beautiful, with a delicate oval face, skin as white as snow, as smooth as fine mutton fat jade, eyebrows carefully drawn, and eyes slightly upturned, exuding an innate arrogance. He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with disdain.

[Hey, who's this girl?] My gut feeling tells me she's not simple. Someone who dares to challenge the female lead must be quite capable.

[Host, she's the second female lead in the book!] The system's voice was excited; now all that's missing is the male lead.

Lin Guiyi raised an eyebrow. [Second female lead? Mistress or fourth female lead? Combine her scandalous story with the novel's ending.]

Lin Guiyi thought this must be the vicious second female lead. It's no wonder Lin Guiyi thought this way. In general, in novels like this, the girls who oppose the female lead are villains, and they usually don't have a good ending, especially the female characters.

I quickly glanced at the other person's message.

The girl's name is Shen Yaqiu. She is the only daughter of the Shen family in Haishi City and was pampered and spoiled from a young age, always the center of attention. She met the male protagonist in middle school, and the two grew up together.

Shen Yaqiu has always had a crush on the male lead, and their friends all tacitly believe that they will get together. Not long ago, the male lead confessed his feelings, and the two officially got together.

No, Lin Xiaoxiao is a mistress, isn't she?

In the book, Lin Xiaoxiao and the male protagonist have been entangled for a long time at this point in time.

[Well... strictly speaking, no. In this timeline, although the male and female leads are mutually attracted, they haven't actually been together or established a relationship.]

[Heh, you scumbag, you mistress, let me tell you, in this situation, they just haven't said it outright, but their actions prove they're together. They're pretending not to know, poor second female lead.]

[Hmph, Lin Xiaoxiao is definitely a homewrecker, and she's quite cunning. When she gets questioned, she'll just say the classic line, "We're just friends," and she'll handle it perfectly.]

The male and female leads are disgusting. Although Lin Guiyi hasn't met the male lead yet, she's pieced together his identity from bits and pieces of information. The male lead's deliberate relationship with the second female lead is definitely a scheme to seize the Shen family's wealth, a fact later confirmed by Shen Yaqiu's fate.

【@￥%……&*&6%￥】Lin Guiyi kept cursing the male lead.

This author has warped values; what kind of swear words did they write about the male and female leads? They don't deserve each other at all.

Lin Guiyi quickly finished reading Shen Yaqiu's ending.

After the two got together, Shen Yaqiu introduced the male lead to her parents. Her parents felt sorry for her, and the two had grown up together. Most importantly, the male lead had no parents and could only rely on the Shen family in the future, making him easy to control.

The Shen family was quite satisfied with the male lead, and after nodding in agreement, they arranged for him to join the company.

However, the male protagonist secretly recruits people, leaks secrets, and joins forces with his maternal family to suppress the Shen family, annex the Shen family, and expand his own company.

With the Shen family gone, Shen Yaqiu lost her usefulness and immediately dumped the man, quickly getting together with the female lead, Lin Xiaoxiao.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao was always bothered by the fact that the male lead had been with Shen Yaqiu. Although the male lead assured her that nothing had happened, she kept arguing with him and was depressed.

The male protagonist naturally couldn't bear to see his woman so heartbroken, so...

After the Shen family went bankrupt, the three members of the family lived in a cramped house. Shen Yaqiu also learned that the male lead had betrayed the Shen family and conspired with others to frame them, and she wanted revenge.

But how could Shen Yaqiu possibly stand up to the male and female leads? It was just a tickle, and it only made the male lead angrier.

Ultimately, she was tricked into getting sick. Her elderly parents begged for help from all sides, but their former relatives and friends all turned their backs on her. Mr. and Mrs. Shen could only do odd jobs and collect garbage to save money for Shen Yaqiu's treatment.

[Just cannon fodder with even less screen time than the Lin family]

Lin Guiyi shook his head and sighed helplessly.

[And this male lead is truly inhuman, resorting to such dirty tricks to deal with a girl—despicable!]

Lin Guiyi stopped watching and turned to continue observing the people outside.

In the end, Lin Xiaoxiao took a step back, her face looking unpleasant, but she still managed a forced smile, maintaining her innocent and naive persona.

Seeing that Shen Yaqiu had left, Lin Guiyi quietly followed. Once Lin Xiaoxiao was out of sight, Lin Guiyi stepped forward and stopped her.

"What are you doing? Can't you watch where you're going?" Shen Yaqiu said impatiently when she was suddenly stopped. She was already in a bad mood, and this happened to her.

"I have something to tell you, but we need to talk privately. It's about your boyfriend."

Shen Yaqiu's irritated expression froze, and she glared fiercely at Lin Guiyi. She hated it when women talked about her boyfriend.

"Hey, isn't this the real daughter of the Lin family who just returned? I think her name is Lin Guiyi." Shen Yaye's companion exclaimed in surprise.

Hmm? Shen Yaye thought for a moment, it was the person who swapped identities with Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Yes, I am Shen Yaye. This matter concerns your parents. Don't you care?" Lin Guiyi's expression was serious, and he didn't seem to be joking.

Shen Yaye glanced at Lin Guiyi, thought for a moment, and slowly nodded in agreement.

Lin Guiyi had better be able to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise she definitely wouldn't let her off the hook.

"You guys go ahead and wait for me."

Lin Guiyi and the other party arrived at a secluded corner.

"Just tell me."

The other party's attitude was not good, but Lin Guiyi just smiled indifferently.

"You can investigate your boyfriend, especially his relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao."

This made Shen Yaye's attitude even worse. She said impatiently, "Fine, I'm leaving." With that, she turned and prepared to leave.

“There’s a small box in your boyfriend’s study, on the very back of the top shelf, hidden by books. Maybe you could open it and take a look.” Lin Guiyi didn’t stop him from leaving. All she needed to do was insert a thorn between them.

Shen Yaye paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

Watching Shen Yaye's retreating figure, Lin Guiyi chuckled softly, "What a proud young lady."

[Send a message to Shen Yaye's father, warning him to be careful of the male lead, and also send him information about Lin Xiaoxiao's relationship with him.]

[Okay, host]
