Chapter 341: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Yun Qing walked over and sat down next to her, hugging her arm and saying coquettishly, "Mom, please don't talk about the renovation. When I was on the phone with you, He Chengyi heard me. Do you know how embarrassed I was?"
Shen Yulan was even more surprised, "He heard you talking nonsense and slandering him, and he still bought you candy. That's true love!"
Yun Qing: ...
"Mom! You're overthinking it. I just happened to run into He Chengyi. I don't know him at all, okay?"
Seeing Shen Yulan's still doubtful expression, Yun Qing couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Mom, are you trying to drive me crazy with wanting me to fall in love? Why don't you go and urge my sister?"
Shen Yulan sighed, "You seem more like someone with a romantic mindset, and you're more likely to fall in love. Your sister is much harder to urge!"
"My life is so hard~ I thought I had given birth to two babies, but who knew they were two blockheads!"
She got agitated as she spoke, and Yun Qing quickly stopped her, "Mom! Mom! Mind your elegant demeanor, and don't use words carelessly!"
"I can forget about me, but my sister is a strong, domineering businesswoman with an extremely high IQ. How could you call her an idiot?"
Shen Yulan calmed down, raised her hand to wipe away imaginary tears from the corners of her eyes, and said sadly, "Do you think your mother wants to be this annoying? Your mother is just worried that you will all be alone in your old age..."
Seeing that she was putting on an act, Yun Qing had no choice but to use her trump card. She lowered her eyes and said sadly, "It's all my fault. I made Mom sad. I'll go and tell He Chengyi right now that I'm willing to marry him. We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"
Shen Yulan slapped her lightly, annoyed. "Come on! Do you really think I'd force you to marry someone you don't like?"
"Mom hopes you will date and get married, but only if you are happy. If it's an unhappy marriage, it's better to be single!"
"Actually, it might be a good thing that you don't want to marry He Chengyi."
"He Chengyi's relationship with the He family is tense. This time, it was Madam He who brought up the marriage alliance. He Chengyi has not made any statement, and Madam He has been acting too eager and persistent. Who knows what her purpose is?"
“If I didn’t think He Chengyi was a rare good kid, I wouldn’t have asked you at all; I would have just turned it down from the start.”
Yun Qing muttered to herself, "Why do you all think He Chengyi is good?"
Even knowing that Madam He might have ulterior motives, she still wanted to let her meet He Chengyi to see if she liked him.
"That child is truly outstanding!"
After Shen Yulan finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh, "But he was also a pitiful person."
"Mrs. He schemed against Mr. He, using her pregnancy to force him into marriage, which is how she successfully married into a wealthy family."
"Mr. He harbored resentment about this and still had a white moonlight in his heart. After the marriage, he was basically never home. As revenge, he deliberately mistreated Mrs. He in terms of spending."
"Although Mrs. He's life is better than before, it is far from the life of a wealthy family she imagined. She has argued and made a fuss, but she can't win back her husband's heart. So she started to blame her son for being useless and treated him very badly."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Is she out of her mind? Her husband doesn't like her, so she blames her son?
Shen Yulan recalled for a moment and then said, "I remember that He Chengyi had an accident when he was a child and almost lost his life. The He family made quite a fuss about it at the time."
"Later, the old master of the He family took him in and raised him. But the old master of the He family was a very strict person and had no warmth to speak of. It is said that he required him to do everything perfectly, and if he did not, he would be physically punished."
"Everyone who happened to meet him said that Grandpa He was too ruthless. They say grandparents love their grandchildren more, but that's not true of Grandpa He. He wasn't so ruthless when he was disciplining his own son."
"The child was so young. It is said that in the dead of winter, he took off his shirt and knelt at the entrance of the villa. He was whipped until his skin was torn and his body was covered in blood."
As Shen Yulan spoke, she couldn't help but show a hint of heartache. "That child has probably never experienced love since birth, no wonder he doesn't get along with the He family now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "whoosh" sound and a few milk candies fell on her.
Turning around, I saw that Yunqing hadn't torn the outer packaging of the milk candy properly, and the milk candy had fallen all over the ground.
Yun Qing frowned, squatted down silently, and picked up the candies on the ground one by one.
Actually, she had heard some things about the He family and He Chengyi's experiences, but she didn't feel anything when she heard them before. Now, however, she felt particularly bad.
She looked down at the milk candy on the ground, attributing it to the fact that she and He Chengyi were already good friends.
Shen Yulan picked up the milk candy that had fallen on her and put it on the coffee table. She then said, "That child didn't go astray in that kind of environment and was able to grow up so well, which shows that he is a person with a strong will."
"I'm afraid there aren't many young talents who can compare to him."
Yunqing picked up all the milk candies and said with a smile, "Mom, maybe you're overestimating him?"
Shen Yulan said irritably, "Fine, if you don't like it, I won't mention him again. There's no need to slander him."
Yun Qing: ...Where did I slander him? I was just telling the truth.
He has a split personality!
However, this was He Chengyi's private matter, and she had promised to keep it a secret, so she had no choice but to remain silent.
Just then, her agent called, so she picked up Milk Candy and said, "Mom, I'm going upstairs to answer this call."
There are reasons why Song Yunqing hasn't become a big star. Besides her mediocre acting skills and her self-awareness in not accepting roles with depth, there's also her sharp tongue. She always speaks with a barb, and her personality isn't the kind that audiences like, which makes her agent hesitant to let her appear on variety shows.
Her only redeeming quality is her face, but her rivals snatched the "pretty face" label from her first.
Although this isn't a good thing, it has made Wen Yu the undisputed pinnacle of beauty.
The drama in which Song Yunqing's role was taken away became a huge hit.
Although the role of the most beautiful woman in the capital was only a supporting role, the production team put a lot of effort into it.
Wen Yu's acting skills were lacking, but she was so beautiful in the drama that she became the white moonlight of countless viewers and is still often mentioned today.
As a result, Wen Yu's own appearance has been enhanced with a filter, and other female celebrities who want to market their beauty cannot avoid mentioning her.
As Wen Yu's rival, Song Yunqing has left the public with the impression that she likes to bully Wen Yu. Her marketing of her beauty has backfired, with people saying that she deliberately tried to outshine Wen Yu, which made people feel disgusted.
Even if someone is extremely beautiful, in the end, they will only be seen as 8 out of 10.
As a result, she couldn't get ahead in any aspect of her life and could only drift along in this mediocre state.
Unfortunately, she herself had little ambition, and in the end, even her manager became indifferent.
But to everyone's surprise, a windfall actually fell from the sky!
