Chapter 15: Even Short Is Adorable

Page (1/3)

Little Yu Xunhuan, snap, lost half of herself!
But it’s all right; even short, she’s adorable.
Yu Xunge’s voice grew a few decibels louder: "How could people like us ever offend someone with a gun?!"
That one sentence jolted the two of them awake. Even the drowsy Yu Xunhuan furrowed her brow slightly, as if about to snap out of a dream.
Yi Qiuguo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. She widened her eyes and looked at Yu Qingshan, lowering her voice: "Could it be the Su family?!"
Yu Qingshan shook his head and finally took a drag from his cigarette butt: "Hard to say."
Seeing that Yu Xunhuan had woken up, Yu Xunge said, "Let’s talk outside, so we don’t wake Xunhuan up."
Hearing this, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo stood up and followed Yu Xunge out of the hospital room. When the door closed, she clearly saw Yu Xunhuan’s hand clenched into a fist.
Once outside the room, Yu Xunge asked again, "Does our Yu family have any enemies?"
Yu Qingshan frowned: "Why ask that?"
Yu Xunge said, "I just feel this kind of harm seems like hatred towards the entire Yu family, as if they want to cut off our bloodline... Of course, it’s not cut off yet, so there’s still hope, right? What did the doctor say?"
"There’s still a chance to have children," Yu Qingshan said with a weary tone, taking another puff of his cigarette. "I’ll investigate this matter. You protect yourself well. It’s best you go back to the Yu family to live for now."
Hearing this sounded like an old father caring for his daughter, but Yu Xunge suspected he was hoping to have more people come after them to take the bullets. However, she didn’t agree: "My brother still has to marry into the Su family, right?" The old fox immediately sent Yu Xunhuan to a black clinic, clearly trying to keep things secret. "It would be too unusual for me to go back now, might arouse Su Yitong’s suspicion."
That was a good excuse, so Yu Qingshan wisely didn’t insist anymore.
After staying a while, Yu Xunge used the excuse of going home to cook soup and left.
She knew Yu Xunhuan was awake, but she really didn’t want to pretend anymore, afraid she might burst into laughter mid-conversation, so she slipped away quickly.
Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan really were alike; after the incident, their first reaction was to hide it rather than consider the terrible consequences if it were found out by the Su family.
After waking, Yu Xunhuan saw Yu Qingshan send Yi Qiuguo away before father and son began their talk.
Yu Xunge, who had taken an invisibility potion and returned, was not surprised by their behavior.
In fact, she never doubted whether she was Yu Qingshan’s biological daughter—well, she took a DNA test in her rebirth and confirmed she was. Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan never saw women as trustworthy; no matter how gentle they appeared, they looked down on women.
The book amusingly calls him a son-in-law, but in the epilogue, the male lead’s three sons, after becoming the heads of the Su, Han, and Liang families respectively, all reverted to the Yu surname at the same time. That’s pure satisfaction, maxed out.

Yi Qiuguo might have a slightly higher status than herself, but only just a little; she was mostly used as Yu Qingshan’s pawn.
Yu Qingshan looked at Yu Xunhuan: "Do you have any ideas?"
Yu Xunhuan stared blankly at the ceiling: "Could it be Yu Xunge’s enemy? Maybe she stirred up trouble outside."
Yu Qingshan sighed: "How many times have I told you, when facing problems, stay calm. Don’t vent your anger—that’s what women do. If she caused trouble, why wouldn’t the people involved go after her?"
Yu Xunhuan then suspected another woman in the family: "Could it be Mom’s temper caused this?"
Yu Qingshan shook his head: "I know everything about her."
Yu Xunhuan closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling violently. After a long while, she hoarsely continued: "Did the Su family oppose my becoming a son-in-law?"
"Hard to say, but they have no reason to resort to underhanded tactics. If they’d rejected us outright, we wouldn’t have pressed." He paused, then softly said, "Have you ever offended any women? You know some messy people at work, right?"
Yu Xunhuan tried to recall carefully. He was sure he hadn’t offended anyone. He was amiable yet kept a distance. He only grew closer to Su Yitong after confirming her family background. He shook his head.
Yu Qingshan comfortingly patted Yu Xunhuan’s hand: "That vase has already been sold. Before the engagement, I’ll settle the villa for you."
Yu Xunhuan asked again: "Is Yu Xunge really out of money?"
Yu Qingshan: "Probably. I found out there was a homicide at her company, and her agent got implicated. You know how much she trusts that Liu fellow. She’s probably distracted. When she feels better, I’ll find a way for her to earn money. You focus on healing, don’t worry about all this!"
Yu Xunhuan said hopelessly: "With my situation…"
Yu Qingshan: "The doctor said it won’t affect your ability to have children. Being shorter won’t matter; what counts is skill!"
Yu Xunge almost laughed out loud.
Seeing no useful information, Yu Xunge regretfully left the hospital room.
...
Knowing Yu Xunhuan lost a segment, she felt her thoughts suddenly clear.
Yes, this was the path of revenge!
She would make Yu Xunhuan live every moment in pain and fear!
Marrying into the Su family? Not even a whole man and still daring to marry Su Yitong—ha!

She wanted to see what Yu Xunhuan could even do now...
She wasn’t worried about offending the Su family at all. She had already drained the male lead’s luck down to one. He was still an ordinary person but could survive seven gunshots from a top-ten dungeon assassin without being finished. The assassin finally gave up after only cutting off half of Little Yu Xunhuan.
If the Su family dared hurt the male lead, they might as well prepare for bankruptcy.
Huh? Wasn’t she even more impressive in her past life? With luck at one, she was hunted by so many for seven days before being caught...
Could she be the true heroine?
Humming a little tune, Yu Xunge returned to the villa. In the game, there were healing spells for severed limbs. Such high-level magic was already known by Su Yitong in the third year of the game’s invasion, when the highest human level was 25. Su Yitong became famous because she was the only one on Blue Star who could cast that spell.
No matter; Yu Xunge had plenty of ways to make sure she never even got close to such spells this lifetime.
As for Yu Xunhuan, she had a hard two years ahead.
She wouldn’t just buy a fake limb to fool Su Yitong, haha.
After dealing with Little Yu Xunhuan, Yu Xunge began preparations for the game’s second closed beta test.
Now that she had a backpack, she wanted to try bringing real-world items into the game to sell for gold coins.
Even if a 10,000 RMB item only sold for 1 gold coin in the game, she’d still profit!
Less than half a year after the game’s invasion, money had become worthless. Even if she converted it to gold, it was better than worthless paper. Although gold and gold coins were essentially different—the latter containing a trace of magic and unable to be forged—some mercenary alien merchants who only cared about profit accepted gold.
Especially the goblin race—they only cared about money. Whether you fought to the death or not was none of their concern. They did all kinds of business and could even exchange gold for gold coins. One gold coin was less than 100 grams, but goblin merchants demanded 300 grams of gold for one coin.
They explained that their costs running business on Blue Star were high, citing battlefield subsidies, travel expenses for trips to Blue Star, possible funeral costs, and the costs goblins incurred making gold coins, among other things...
Currently, the price of gold was about 500 RMB per gram, fluctuating slightly, meaning it took about 150,000 RMB to buy one gold coin—but that was before the currency collapsed.
By the time goblin merchants appeared, the currency had already collapsed, and everyone traded using game currency. Forget exchanging money for gold. Since goblins allowed gold to be exchanged for coins, gold was basically priced but had no market.
But all this happened after the game’s invasion. Naturally, Yu Xunge would prepare and convert all her money into gold.
