Jiang Beiyu clenched his teeth tightly; under such immense mental pressure, he couldn’t even speak, only staring dead at Su Zhiruan.

It was just now that he realized how grave a mistake he had made.

He had always thought that Su Zhiruan was just deeply infatuated, and he didn’t even need to make much of an effort to receive a richer reward in return. He prided himself on being able to handle her with ease, confident in his ability to play her like a fiddle.

But only now, Jiang Beiyu saw the light, the proverbial mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

He had always thought Su Zhiruan was the cicada when in fact, she was the oriole lying in wait.

"What if I don’t choose?" Jiang Beiyu suddenly laughed, clearly showing that his psyche was nearing collapse, "If I don’t choose, what can you do to me?"

Su Zhiruan spread her hands, smiling as she spoke, "Don’t be nervous, I’m not a disaster or a beast, I don’t eat people, nor would I do something like designing a scheme to steal someone else’s family fortune. If you don’t choose, then you don’t choose—I won’t force anyone."

Watching her relaxed demeanor at this moment, Jiang Beiyu’s heart didn’t ease in the least. If it were an hour ago, he would have had the confidence to turn things around based on Su Zhiruan’s feelings for him, but at this point, he felt utterly hopeless.

The little girl he once looked down upon, even scorned, had unwittingly turned the tables on him, analyzing his entire plan and laying out a perfectly executed series of traps.

Even with his self-confidence, Jiang Beiyu knew his reputation online was now in shambles, utterly ruined, but what he had done before could only be described as lacking any sense of morality. This time, however, he was certain that Su Zhiruan took pleasure in the thought of him going to jail.

"Who would’ve thought! I really didn’t see it coming, that you could be such a ruthless woman?! Su Zhiruan, oh Su Zhiruan, I really misjudged you before!" Jiang Beiyu exclaimed as he looked to the sky. When he looked back down at Su Zhiruan, his eyes were filled with fear, "You really can endure, huh? You knew everything? How did you know my plan?"

"What plan?" Su Zhiruan feigned curiosity, covering her mouth with her hand as she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, are you talking about the plan to take over the Su Family’s assets, or the plan to imprison me and let you and your mistress insult me, or perhaps, the plan where you wanted to make me disappear from this world without anyone noticing?!"

As Su Zhiruan spoke her first sentence, Jiang Beiyu was still waiting for her to continue, but as he heard her voice his innermost thoughts, he completely succumbed. At that moment, his eyes shifted from fear to shock when looking at Su Zhiruan; he was utterly speechless.

With each sentence Su Zhiruan uttered, Zhou Mingyu’s gaze toward Jiang Beiyu grew colder and colder, until he was looking at a dead man. Before Su Zhiruan arranged everything for today, she had told Zhou Mingyu to just be a background figure, as she still hoped to resolve her own issues herself.

Zhou Mingyu believed in her abilities, but he wasn’t at ease with her staying with people like Jiang Beiyu and Bai Yueyou, so he decided to stay by Su Zhiruan’s side and be that background figure.

Bai Yueyou’s eyes kept circling Zhou Mingyu; she was very resentful.

The disparity in her heart arose from comparison; in the past, when she compared Jiang Beiyu with some detestable men, Jiang Beiyu always won, but at her core, she was a fickle woman. Upon seeing a better man, she couldn’t help but make comparisons.

Compared to Jiang Beiyu, who was played by a woman like Su Zhiruan, and the handsome man now quietly standing behind her, protecting her, Bai Yueyou’s heart rippled with love for Zhou Mingyu, unable to break free.

Zhou Mingyu frowned in disgust, turned, and shook hands with Su Zhiruan, which made him feel somewhat better.

"Are there no other choices?" Jiang Beiyu no longer played the card of emotion; he was not a fool. Su Zhiruan had already seen through all his thoughts, so how could she be easily deceived by a few words? Now, he could only choose the path of least loss to resolve this problem, by directly asking her, he could find out what Su Zhiruan really wanted.

"I do have a method," Su Zhiruan said while looking at Bai Yueyou and speaking to Jiang Beiyu, "but this will really test your relationship."

Jiang Beiyu looked at Su Zhiruan and instantly understood what she meant, "Go ahead."

Bai Yueyou just felt that something bad was going to happen; she stopped looking at Zhou Mingyu and anxiously asked Jiang Beiyu, "What, what’s going on... Brother Beiyu, why is everyone looking at me?"

"That’s because this method involves you," Su Zhiruan said in a relaxed tone, spreading her hands, "Remember how you said you were deeply in love with Jiang Beiyu? Now’s your chance to stand up for him."

"Of course, it also depends on the choice between you two," Su Zhiruan considerately offered a third option, "The account that listed my necklace for sale happens to belong to Miss Bai. From a legal perspective, perhaps Miss Bai should bear this responsibility."

In an instant, Bai Yueyou’s face turned deathly pale, and she shook her head in disbelief, "No, it’s not like that, I didn’t do anything?"

She looked towards Jiang Beiyu in desperation, wanting him to defend her, but when she saw the knowing look on his face, she gave up completely, filled with panic.

The person beside her in bed was ready to push her out to take the blame.

"Yueyue, I know that you’re truly the one who loves me," Jiang Beiyu said after pausing for a moment, "Moreover, it is indeed your account. Even if I wanted to take the blame, the police wouldn’t accept me."

After he righteously uttered those words, the entire restaurant fell silent.

Su Zhiruan watched their silent face-off with a smile that was not quite a smile, finding it somewhat amusing.

Indeed, aside from family, any relationship between people is built on interests. In the original plot, Jiang Beiyu and Bai Yueyou were united against a common enemy, deeply in love. But now, a single minor charge was enough to easily tear them apart.

The choices Su Zhiruan had proposed were more about driving a wedge between them.

Locking someone away in prison and preventing meetings might actually strengthen their relationship.

The revenge she wanted to exact for the original host was definitely not as simple as it seemed now; external pressure would only make their relationship stronger. Only by creating an internal rift, tearing into the raw wounds bit by bit, could she deliver the best retribution, the most thrilling counterstrike to this revenge!

At this moment in the restaurant, the piano melody moved into its fourth section, its sound suddenly intensifying, like a burst of heavy rain on blossoming spring flowers.

And all of this was quite fitting.

Su Zhiruan watched the two in their standoff, then listlessly returned to the sofa, sat down, and began scrolling through videos on Zhou Mingyu’s phone.

Upon opening the short video app, the first thing she saw was a live stream of their current scene.

After clicking into it, the first thing Su Zhiruan saw was the number of online viewers—
