Chapter 390: Chapter 386: Have Yun Hao Propose Marriage

"You like Yun Hao, don’t you? Go tell him. Have him come to our door with a marriage proposal."

Chen Xiumin had made up her mind. She would have Xu Wenwan and Yun Hao marry at once.

If Xu Wenwan was really pining for Leng Yuan and did something disgraceful, how could she ever show her face again?

Xu Wenwan couldn’t take it anymore.

"Mother, I won’t marry Yun Hao."

She had just absorbed Yun Hao’s fortune. From now on, he would just be an ordinary person. How could she possibly marry an ordinary person?

Xu Wenwan was still counting on the system to live the life of a rich person.

Marrying an ordinary person and living a life of mediocrity—she would rather die than live like that.

At first, Chen Xiumin hadn’t believed that Xu Wenwan would try to seduce Leng Yuan, thinking it was just a misunderstanding. But now, she couldn’t help but suspect that her daughter had genuinely fallen for him.

Otherwise, why would she be unwilling to marry Yun Hao?

She had been spending so much time with Yun Hao before.

Thinking about it, Xu Wenwan hadn’t been to the Educated Youth spot recently either.

She had thought her daughter was finally being obedient. Plus, with all the fuss over those soapbeans, she hadn’t thought much of it.

Only now did she realize.

Her daughter had probably set her sights on Leng Yuan back then.

Chen Xiumin was so angry she nearly fainted.

She grabbed the willow switch and whipped Xu Wenwan viciously several more times.

"If you don’t marry Yun Hao, I’ll beat you to death today!"

Chen Xiumin would rather beat her to death than let her go out and disgrace the family.

Ever since this daughter came back, their family had become the laughingstock of the village.

Xu Wenwan’s entire back burned with searing pain from the whipping. She endured it at first, but soon, it became unbearable.

"Mother, I’ll marry him! I’ll marry him!"

She could see it clearly now.

’If I don’t agree to marry him, my mother really will whip me to death.’

Seeing Xu Wenwan agree, Chen Xiumin finally stopped and had Chen Xiaoli drag Xu Wenwan into her room.

Xu Wenwan lay on the bed, wiping her tears. ’My mother is so unreasonable! How could she force me like this!’

As she cried, Xu Wenwan realized something was wrong.

"System, I absorbed Yun Hao’s fortune, so why am I still getting beaten?"

’Before, just absorbing Feng Ergou’s fortune was enough to make my family treat me kindly. Why did absorbing the male lead’s fortune have no effect at all?’

The system couldn’t possibly tell Xu Wenwan that it had absorbed the fortune for itself.

It casually made up an excuse to fool her.

"Because you and the male lead are the official couple, you two are destined to be together. Your mother is doing this to set you up, so fortune has no effect in this case."

Xu Wenwan was speechless.

"Why didn’t you remind me sooner?"

’If I’d known I still had to marry Yun Hao, I wouldn’t have absorbed so much!’

The system remained silent.

’Of course, it wasn’t going to tell Xu Wenwan the truth.’

’Now that it has obtained the fortune, its power has grown considerably. All it needs to do is absorb Leng Yuan’s fortune, and it can unbind from Xu Wenwan. After that, it couldn’t care less what she does!’

At this thought, the system urged Xu Wenwan on.

"Don’t worry. You absorbed his fortune, so it still belongs to the two of you. However, Yun Hao’s fortune isn’t as powerful as Leng Yuan’s. You still need to find a way to absorb Leng Yuan’s fortune."

"As long as you absorb Leng Yuan’s, skyrocketing to success in this life will be a piece of cake."

Xu Wenwan’s eyes lit up, and she stopped crying.

"Really? Even more successful than my cousin from my past life?"

Hearing this, the system was filled with contempt.

’With Xu Wenwan’s brain? She wants to compare herself to her cousin? She probably won’t ever measure up in this lifetime.’

"Of course! Your cousin may be impressive, but once you’ve absorbed both Yun Hao’s and Leng Yuan’s fortunes, how could she possibly compare?"

Xu Wenwan’s body trembled with excitement, which suddenly pulled at the wounds on her back. She immediately started whimpering in pain.

System: ...

’Oh, forget it. Seeing as she let it absorb Yun Hao’s fortune today, it decided not to electrocute her.’
