A cute, timid mushroom mistakenly takes the zombie king for her boyfriend and sticks close to him.

Su Lanyue didn't know what was going on either; she and Xiao Yuan had clearly kept it a secret.

Xiao Yuan originally planned for her to come to his room that evening, but she thought that Meng Xiaoyou might leave that afternoon, so she wanted to complete the transaction ahead of schedule.

As a result, Mu Qingfeng suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

She sat numbly on the ground, unwilling to recall how ugly Mu Qingfeng's face had been, and even less willing to recall the shame of the Xiao family rushing over upon hearing the commotion.

How could it have turned out like this...?

She is finished.

She didn't care how others viewed things, only about Mu Qingfeng!

Su Lanyue's mind went blank. Like a soulless puppet, she stared blankly at her father, unsure how to react.

Mr. Su originally thought that his good daughter had been wronged, but seeing her distraught appearance, what else could he not understand?

She has always had her family's support since she was a child, and no one dares to bully her in the slightest. Even if she is weak, she has enough confidence and should not be taken advantage of by others.

There's only one possibility: she did it willingly...

He took a deep breath and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Rebellious daughter!"

Meng Xiaoyou didn't receive higher education from her family, but didn't Su Lanyue?

This is like publicly humiliating him!

Su's mother was also in shock. She was so angry that she was trembling all over, but she was much more composed than Su's stubborn father.

She beckoned to a maid, who quickly brought over some clothes and handed them to her. Su's mother took the clothes, knelt down in front of Su Lanyue, and draped the clothes over her shoulders. "You..."

She paused, then said, "Mom can't understand why you..."

She clearly has a well-bred and handsome fiancé from a prestigious family, so why does she insist on getting involved with an illegitimate child?

In Su's mother's opinion, it was unnecessary.

“Mom…” Su Lanyue was already delicate-looking, and when she cried, her face was even more tearful. Her tearful gaze inadvertently fell on Xiao Yuan, as if she had made up her mind. “He forced me.”

Xiao Yuan knew Su Lanyue's personality.

He still didn't seem to care about the bloody welts on his body from the whip his father had given him. Instead, his expression was strange. "Lan Yue, since you and Mu Qingfeng have broken off your engagement anyway, and everyone knows about our relationship now, why don't you just come with me? With my abilities, I'm no worse than Mu Qingfeng. Look at him now, he's like a drowning dog. How can he compare to me?"

Mu Qingfeng looked truly disheveled, as if he had been pulled out of an ice cave. It was unclear who had beaten him; his dark face was covered in bruises, and his eyes were lifeless. He had clearly been badly hurt.

The Xiao family compound is full of powerful people, but no one can resist the temptation to gossip.

Not long ago, Madam Su fell seriously ill, and the Su family had no interest in participating in the management of the base. This allowed the Xiao family to grow stronger day by day. They gloated, thinking that if the Su family and the Mu family broke up because of Su Lanyue, wouldn't the Xiao family no longer be suppressed and instead suppress the other two powerful families?

The two family heads had considered the issues that ordinary people could think of, but the Xiao family head thought even more deeply. Su Lanyue was ultimately a fake, and even if she were with his son, it wouldn't necessarily bring any benefits to the Su family.

He wouldn't allow this marriage. He glared at Xiao Yuan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If the Mu family doesn't want someone, how can they enter our Xiao family's door?"

That's as if Su Lanyue were some kind of filthy thing.

She subconsciously looked at Mu Qingfeng.

Unfortunately, Mu Qingfeng no longer protected her with unwavering devotion as before. He had given up on her and would no longer care whether she lived or died.

Su Lanyue felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, and tears streamed down her face. Her mother was heartbroken. "Sweetie, we can talk about these things later. Mom will take you home..."

"Don't wash your dirty linen in public," Su Ji said with a dark face, leading Su Lanyue away. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan, out of sight of others, curled his lips at Su Lanyue's retreating figure, his eyes filled with utter madness.

How could their room be so easily broken into?

Moreover, he is a high-level spatial ability user, with a very sensitive perception of space. If he wanted to, he could easily crush anyone who barged in with his spatial abilities.

Therefore, it was all Xiao Yuan's doing.

When he made this request, he had already planned ahead. In this way, their affair would become public knowledge, leaving the "kind" Miss Su with no way out.

Although the world has become much more open to women's reputations, many ideas are still deeply ingrained. With just a little guidance, public opinion can overcome everything.

When everyone else despised her, only by his side was she a sanctuary.

However, Mu Qingfeng's appearance was unexpected by Xiao Yuan, and the effect was even better than expected.

Xiao Yuan would not break his promise to Su Lanyue.

Meng Xiaoyou must die!

--

Just as the chaos on one side subsided, on the other side, Meng Xiaoyou, who was being targeted, was sleeping soundly, so much so that she didn't even notice a zombie coming to steal mushrooms.

Without disturbing anyone, Pei Sinian easily jumped in through the window, carrying the little mushroom's golden shovel.

Several spider plants on the windowsill swayed slightly when his clothes brushed against them. He glanced at them briefly and noticed some dust on them. Then he thought of the little mushrooms he grew and casually washed the spider plants clean.

After finishing everything, Mr. Zombie nodded in satisfaction, floated to the bedside like a ghost, and stared at the purple bubbles on the bed.

The purple, transparent bubbles shimmered with a faint light under the refraction of sunlight, casting a soft glow on the fair face of the person inside.

What a careless person! They could have their things stolen from their own home, and to make matters worse, they were fast asleep.

If it were anyone else who came, wouldn't they be bullied?

Thinking of this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Mr. Zombie's eyes. He pursed his thin lips and called out by name, "Meng Xiaoyou! Get up!"

What are you sleeping for? You're so young, how can you fall asleep?

However, he was met with complete silence. Meng Xiaoyou didn't even blink, let alone move. She tucked her hands into her clothes, curled up her head, and fell fast asleep, her hair even rubbing against the bubbles and getting static-freezing.

Pei Sinian frowned: "Meng Xiaoyou?"

"Xiaoyou?"

He almost shouted out an echo, but still received no response. Mr. Zombie thought to himself, "This is bad. Could someone have drugged me?"

His calm demeanor finally crumbled. He casually poked the bubble with the golden shovel, and the bubble burst with a pop. Meng Xiaoyou inside, like a chick hatching from its shell, fluttered and fell onto the bed.

Although the bed is very soft, it doesn't prevent a person from accidentally stepping into thin air in their sleep and opening their eyes in a panic.

Meng Xiaoyou rubbed her eyes groggily, and when she looked up, she saw a monster standing in front of her, pointing a golden weapon at her.

Her ahoge stood on end—was she about to launch a sneak attack?
