Student Xiao D: ...I’m already too exhausted to criticize, pal, do as you please.
Ye Chen, however, remembered He Tiantian’s words and kept urging her to have a child every now and then.
Every time Ye Chen urged her , He Tiantian had a simple solution, just showing a shameless face. A man in his forties, actually looking all pathetic, asking, "Bro, you don’t care about me anymore?"
"Ding! The male lead’s anger value +1!"
"I’m telling you to have children because I do care about you. You have assets worth over a billion in your name, you can totally pass all of it on to your children in the future!"
Ye Chen’s message was very clear: the He Family didn’t have a throne to inherit, but they did have billions in assets.
So, dear cousin, hurry up and have a child.
"Why should I give the money I worked hard for to someone else?"
He Tiantian stiffened her neck and said something that made Ye Chen even more annoyed.
"Ding! The male lead’s anger value +1!"
Ye Chen wasn’t young anymore; he really didn’t want to keep getting angry.
It was tough having to deal with a troublemaking brat. As a successful man for many years, he had long since cultivated the ability to concentrate and nourish his Qi.
But time and time again, his defenses were broken by He Tiantian.
"What do you mean giving it to strangers? That’s your child, yours!" Ye Chen was nearly shouting at the top of his lungs.
"No way! I’ve already made up my mind. The money I earn is for me to enjoy. Oh, right, bro, if you’re short on cash, I, I can give some to you!"
"But nobody else! If I die and my money’s not all spent, then I’ll leave half for you and the other half to the state!"
"Hehe, I’ve heard that doing more good deeds and accumulating more merit maybe in my next life, I’ll be reborn into a good life because of this act of kindness!"
After a moment of silence, a familiar mechanical voice echoed from the depths of He Tiantian’s sea of consciousness: "Ding! The male lead’s anger value +3!"
Despite his anger, Ye Chen felt touched deep down.
Such a selfish and pleasure-seeking brat, unwilling to give money even to his own flesh and blood, was willing to divide half of his estate to him, his cousin.
Turns out, he was indeed the most important person to Xiao Tian.
Moreover, after quarreling with He Tiantian for decades, the two were no longer just cousins connected by a thin bloodline but business partners and the closest of family.
Ye Chen, who had lived to ninety-two and was about to face the end of his life, was most concerned not about the gourmet empire he’d built with his own hands.
Nor about his three children, countless grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
And not even about his wife, who was three years his junior and also in poor health.
What he truly couldn’t let go of was, astonishingly, his cheap cousin who, despite his age, was still lying in front of his sickbed, crying his eyes out.
"Xiao, Xiao Tian—stop crying. You’re ninety, yet you’re crying like a child."
"Wuu, bro, bro..." He Tiantian sobbed unintelligibly.
The younger members of the Ye Family standing around suddenly found themselves in an awkward position unable to cry or laugh.
Logically, they were incredibly sad that their father (or grandfather/great grandfather) was dying, their tears were still dangling at the corners of their eyes.
Yet their cousin (or uncle/great-uncle), who had been entangled with the family all his life, was crying even harder than them.
Cry if you must, but this, this kind of crying was indescribably awkward.
"Awoo, bro, you can’t die, what will I do without you?" After sobbing for a long time, He Tiantian finally blurted out his "true feelings."
"Ding! The male lead’s anger value +10!"
Following that, the male lead Ye Chen closed his eyes forever.
Student Xiao D: ...really speechless!
Damn, it’s such a time, shouldn’t you be a bit more emotional, a bit more heartwarming? He Tiantian, this major villain, still damn well cared about harvesting the male lead’s anger value.
Looking at the data panel, now that the anger value had finally reached 1000 points, Student Xiao D fell into endless silence.
"Alright, Student Xiao D, stop playing dead. Hurry up and leave this world!"
In the interval of Student Xiao D’s self-seclusion, He Tiantian had already successfully sent "He Tian" on his way.
She didn’t care at all about the legacy she would leave behind for her descendants and friends— Ye Chen and He Tian were the True Love, brothers for seventy years, and in the end, they even died on the same day of the same month of the same year!
Luckily, the male lead was already dead; otherwise, hearing these rumors, he would definitely have contributed a bunch of anger value to He Tiantian.
"Ding! Harvesting the male lead’s anger value task completed, rating: Excellent! Reward 6 points."
"Ding! You have received a reward of 10,000 Dian Niang Coins from the readers, which can be exchanged for one Primary Treasure Box."
He Tiantian’s Divine Soul returned to the Space of the library, and Student Xiao D began his duty-bound reporting once more.
This time she actually received a reward of 6 points, it seems that getting an "Excellent" rating indeed brings a rich reward.
It wasn’t in vain that she didn’t forget to continue plundering the male lead until the end!
Student Xiao D: You’ve got the nerve to say that? =_= *flips table*
