Chapter 75: Shen Anyu: MMP, This?
Shen Anyu held Liu Mi's small hand, his steps light and graceful as he walked away from the scene of Zheng Hongji's humiliation. He didn't look back. The crowd parted for him like water for a shark, their eyes filled with awe and terror.
It was a long time later that Zheng Hongji, with the help of his bodyguards, finally managed to stand up. His legs were still trembling uncontrollably. At this point, he discovered that his expensive suit was soaked through with cold sweat, sticking uncomfortably to his skin.
"Alas... it's a blessing in disguise!"
Zheng Hongji sighed, wiping his forehead with a shaking hand. Although from now on, he would no longer be the absolute boss of the [Zheng Family Jewelry Company], but merely a company general manager under the thumb of the [Shen Corporation], it was at least better than losing everything.
Moreover, joining the [Shen Corporation] also had great benefits. It opened doors he could never have dreamed of opening on his own. He would be able to enjoy more resources, deeper connections, and the protection of a leviathan. The [Zheng Family Jewelry Company] would be able to develop even better under that banner.
If it hadn't been for today's events, Zheng Hongji might not have agreed. After all, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a Phoenix. Who would want to be someone else's subordinate when they were doing perfectly fine as their own company's chairman?
But the current outcome already made Zheng Hongji extremely fortunate. He knew the alternative.
He knew that five years ago, the [Magic City Ye Family], a well-known and powerful family in Modu, had offended the [Yanxia Shen Family]. And their family was directly destroyed. Reduced to ash by a mysterious fire. Erased from history.
The [Magic City Ye Family] was far above the Zheng Family in power and prestige. If they could be crushed so easily, what chance did he have?
"Dad... was that Young Master Shen? The Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family?"
At this moment, Zheng Lili also got up with the help of bodyguards. She was rubbing her knees, hissing in pain as she looked at the bruises forming on her skin. But her eyes were wide, looking at Zheng Hongji curiously.
Zheng Hongji glared at his daughter, Zheng Lili, in annoyance. The sight of her swollen face only reminded him of how close they had come to ruin.
"Besides that Young Master of the Yanxia Shen Family, who else could scare your dad like this? Who else has that kind of aura?"
"Last night's banquet... I told you to go! But you didn't! You went partying instead! Otherwise, if you had met Young Master Shen there, you wouldn't have caused trouble today! You would have known better!"
Zheng Lili bit her lip. She said with some regret and annoyance, her voice petulant:
"If I had known Young Master Shen was so handsome... I definitely would have gone. I would have been the first one there."
A sudden, reckless idea sparked in her mind.
"Dad, what do you say... if I personally go and apologize to Young Master Shen? Ask him not to mind? Maybe bring a gift?"
Seeing his daughter Zheng Lili's eyes darting around, clearly plotting something mischievous and likely seductive, Zheng Hongji's blood pressure spiked. He sternly reprimanded her:
"Haven't you caused enough trouble?! From now on, you'll be confined at home! Don't even think about going out! I'm grounding you until you learn some sense!"
"Zheng Lili, I warn you! If you anger Young Master Shen again, I'll pretend I don't have a daughter! I will cut you off!"
Hearing this, Zheng Lili's face turned pale. She dared not speak again. The threat of being cut off from the family fortune was the only thing that truly scared her.
She had just been thinking that if she could hook up with Young Master Shen, a top-tier man like him, that would be truly amazing. It would solve everything.
Zheng Hongji guessed his daughter's thoughts. He shook his head, looking at her with disappointment.
"How could Young Master Shen possibly fancy you? He's always surrounded by women like Qin Ningbing! Women of substance and power!"
"Qin Ningbing…"
Zheng Lili immediately felt disheartened. Compared to women like Qin Ningbing, the billionaire CEO, she was far inferior. She was just a spoiled brat with a trust fund.
She also knew that Shen Anyu was accompanied by Su Hongmian and Liu Mi. Both were stunning beauties.
At this moment, Zheng Lili was extremely envious and jealous of Su Hongmian and Liu Mi, wishing she could take their place. Wishing she could be the one walking away on his arm.
[Ding! Host found to have strong obsession. Male God Strategy System Awakening... Binding in progress... Activating...]
"Who?"
Zheng Lili was startled when she heard a crisp, mechanical voice beside her ear. She looked around frantically.
"Why are you so jumpy? No one's talking."
Her father, Zheng Hongji, glared at his daughter in annoyance, intending to take her home and give her a good lecture. He grabbed her arm, pulling her towards the exit.
He had been too busy with work before to discipline her, and now that she had become like this, it was absolutely unacceptable.
Zheng Lili, however, paid no attention to him. She realized that this crisp voice was actually echoing directly in her mind.
[Ding! Male God Strategy System activated! Novice gift package issued!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Body of Alluring Charm!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Top-tier Makeup Skills!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Love-at-First-Sight Aura!]
...
Zheng Lili was immediately overjoyed. Her eyes widened in shock and delight.
She was someone who had read novels, so she naturally knew about various magical [Systems]. With a System, even the most ordinary person could rise against the heavens. It was a cheat code for life! Which was incredible.
Especially the [Love-at-First-Sight Aura], which made Zheng Lili incredibly excited. She quickly checked the description in her mind.
[Love-at-First-Sight Aura]
[Effect: Can bind a top-tier Male God, making him love you and spoil you alone for his entire life. Instantly raises his favorability to max level. He can die for the host and will have extreme aversion and repulsion towards other females, seeing only the host in his eyes!]
[Trigger Condition: Only effective on top-tier Male Gods. Takes effect upon touching their skin!]
Zheng Lili was overjoyed. With this [Love-at-First-Sight Aura], as long as it was triggered, then from now on, Shen Anyu would only be infatuated with her for his entire life! He would even die for her!
At that time, her current predicament would not only be easily resolved, but she would also be able to become the Young Mistress of the [Yanxia Shen Family], enjoying endless glory and wealth. She would be the Queen of Modu!
Moreover, with the System, she would not only have Young Master Shen as a top-tier Male God, but also be able to hook up with other Male Gods. She could have a harem of her own!
Thinking of all this, Zheng Lili's eyes welled up with tears of happiness. She couldn't help but rub her thighs together, wondering how happy her future would be.
"Dad! Dad, listen! I want to see Young Master Shen! I want to see Young Master Shen right now!"
Zheng Lili excitedly grabbed her father's arm, her voice high and frantic.
As long as she saw Young Master Shen and found a way to touch his skin—just a graze of a finger—she would become a Phoenix from then on. She would enjoy countless Male Gods. Just thinking about it was beautiful.
Of course, Zheng Lili felt that other Male Gods couldn't compare to Young Master Shen, but she was more magnanimous. She wanted to give all Male Gods a home. Young Master Shen would be her main consort in the future.
Zheng Hongji heard this and stopped walking. He looked at his daughter with a serious expression, bordering on fear.
"Nonsense!"
"Just now, Dad promised Young Master Shen that I absolutely would not let you appear in front of him! If you anger Young Master Shen again, you won't even be able to keep your life, and our Zheng Family will be finished! Do you want to kill us all?!"
"Young Master Shen's status, position, and power are beyond your imagination! One finger can crush us like bugs!"
Zheng Lili immediately became anxious. She shook her father's arm.
"Dad! I'm not going to anger Young Master Shen! Believe me! I can make Young Master Shen fall in love with me! Really! I swear!"
Zheng Hongji rolled his eyes and said irritably, dragging her towards the car.
"How could I have such a foolish daughter like you? Young Master Shen fall in love with you? Stop dreaming! Look in the mirror!"
"Go home now! From now on, you'll be under house arrest! No going out! Absolutely forbidden to go out and anger Young Master Shen!"
"I'll send bodyguards to monitor you twenty-four hours a day! If you step one foot out the door, they will break your legs!"
At this point, Zheng Hongji sighed, looking at his daughter, Zheng Lili, earnestly.
"Daughter... this is for your own good. If you appear in front of Young Master Shen again, your life will be in danger. He is not a man who gives second chances."
"At home, you'll have everything you want. Food, drink, entertainment. If you like men, you can even order male escorts, but you're not allowed to go out! Is that clear?"
Zheng Lili was anxious. Terribly anxious. She wanted to persuade her father, and even prepared to tell him about the [Male God Strategy System].
But when she tried to speak, she was stopped by a mysterious force. She couldn't open her mouth at all to talk about the System. It was a secret bound to her soul.
She could only be tearfully confined at home.
"Wuwuwu! Dad! As long as you let me see Young Master Shen, I will definitely make him fall in love with me... please!"
Zheng Hongji shook his head and ordered the bodyguards and nannies to monitor her twenty-four hours a day, absolutely forbidding the Young Mistress from leaving the house.
Zheng Lili cried and wailed for a while in the back of the car. Her eyes darted around, plotting. She gritted her teeth and whispered to herself:
"No... I must find a way to get out and contact Young Master Shen! Otherwise my [Male God Strategy System] will be in vain!"
"Young Master Shen... my Young Master Shen... I will make you fall in love with me at first sight. You will be madly in love with Zheng Lili!"
As if thinking of something, Zheng Lili squeezed her legs together and giggled foolishly, her mind already filled with fantasies of domination and love.
