28: Chapter 28 I just couldn't hold back anymore! This is absolutely the most exhilarating show I've ever seen in my entire life!

At 9:00 PM, the Chen Family Manor was brightly lit.

Chen Xingyue curled up on the living room's leather sofa, her eyes hollow, like a porcelain doll whose Soul had been sucked out.

Tears silently flowed, wetting the Hermès bag on her knees.

She neither cried nor made a fuss, nor spoke, just blankly staring at some ethereal point in the air.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

Seeing this,

Wang Xiaoyun was frantic with anxiety, holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge, her voice tinged with a sob:

"Baby, don't scare Mom! Won't you eat something?"

"You are stabbing a knife straight into your parents' hearts!"

"..."

Chen Jianguo's habitually stern square face was now screwed up like a bitter melon.

He crouched in front of his daughter, clumsily using a tissue to wipe away her tears:

"Daughter, isn't it just running into a scum bag?"

"Tomorrow Dad will introduce a few better ones to you! Young and promising, with eighteen-pack abs, ten thousand times better than that scumbag surnamed Niu!"

"Be a good girl and eat your meal first, your health is what matters!"

"..."

Chen Xingyue remained indifferent.

She didn't even lift her eyelids.

Eldest sister Chen Xuening couldn't watch anymore.

Stepping in stilettos, she clacked over to the fourth sister, poking her forehead with her index finger, her tone both fierce and heartbroken:

"Chen Xingyue! Pull yourself together for me!"

"That scumbag is suspected of intentional injury, extortion... and other combined crimes, Big Sister guarantees to make him rot in prison and avenge you (ノ_；＼( ｀ロ ´)／!!!"

"So hurry up and eat!"

"After eating, I'll tell you the specific sentencing standards to cheer you up."

"..."

Chen Xingyue still didn't move an inch, like a monk in deep meditation.

Chen Xuening frowned and changed tactics:

"Chen Xingyue, if you keep acting like this deadpan, I'll look down on you."

"A good-for-nothing woman who can't be helped!"

"Making yourself like this over a rotten cucumber is a disgrace to the Chen family when word gets out."

"..."

Reverse psychology.

The ultimate trump card that always worked on the fourth sister.

However, Chen Xingyue only slowly blinked and fell back into her hollow stare.

Chen Xuening's expression froze.

"Reverse psychology won't work on the fourth sister."

"What she needs right now is empathy, not provocation."

"..."

Chen Yutong pulled the eldest sister aside, sat down beside the fourth sister on her own accord, and reached out to smooth her messy red hair.

Her tone was as gentle as a spring drizzle:

"Fourth sister, do you know how many men there are in the world?"

Chen Xingyue's pupils didn't move.

"Three and a half billion!"

Chen Yutong smiled faintly, her tone nonchalant.

"You should be glad to be single again."

"From now on, you will regain a whole sea of stars."

"Men are mere playthings."

"You can grab a whole handful of them."

"Why take such filthy things that you can get with a flick of your finger so seriously?"

"..."

Coming from the mouth of a doctor in a white lab coat with an ascetic demeanor, the lethality doubled.

Chen Xingyue's eyelashes trembled imperceptibly.

But she still didn't speak.

Nearby,

Chen Jianguo: "???"

Chen Fan: "???????"

Then should we father and son leave???????

Chen Nianan had been cowering in the corner of the sofa, suppressing her presence to the minimum.

Clutching her drawing board, her side-swept bangs covered most of her face, making her look like a social-anxious little hamster.

Seeing that her parents, eldest sister, and second sister had all failed,

she hesitated for a very long time before finally gathering her courage, rustling in her pocket, and pulling out a box of Wrigley's Spearmint gum.

Pulling out the middle piece,

she peeled off the wrapper and gently placed it into Chen Xingyue's palm.

Then she whispered in a mosquito-like volume:

"F-Fourth sister..."

"Men are like chewing gum..."

"Chew, chew until it loses its flavor... sooner or later it'll be spit out..."

"Just, just change to a new stick..."

"..."

After speaking, she immediately shrank back into the corner, the tips of her ears red enough to drip blood.

To be this socially anxious and still bite the bullet to comfort her sister could be called the ceiling of deep sisterly love.

Chen Xingyue lowered her head to look at the gum in her palm, the corners of her mouth seeming to twitch.

But the arc was too small to tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh.

She closed her palm, clutched the gum tightly, and remained silent throughout.

"..."

The family took turns going into battle, pulling out all eighteen martial arts.

From emotional appeals to reverse psychology, from rational analysis to philosophical metaphors, from introducing young talents to denouncing the scumbag's crimes,

they launched a comprehensive, multi-angle, three-dimensional rescue comfort for Chen Xingyue.

It was a pity that Chen Xingyue's expression remained unchanged:

Her eyes were lifeless, her face blank.

A petrified state of a dead heart and an attitude of not caring about anything.

If she weren't still breathing, everyone would have thought she had fallen asleep with her eyes open.

"It's over, it's over, it's over." Wang Xiaoyun was frantic.

"Could this girl have gotten some psychological trauma?"

"Second child, aren't you a doctor? Think of something quickly!"

"..."

Chen Yutong gave a bitter smile:

"Mom, I'm a surgeon, not a psychologist."

"..."

She understood heartbreak stress reactions.

But the severity of the fourth sister's condition already fell into the category of "not written in textbooks."

Just as the family was at their wits' end!

Everyone's gaze

suddenly and unanimously turned toward a certain teenager who was quietly wolfing down his food by the dining table.

"Why are you all... looking at me?"

"Are you guys hungry too? There's still some in the kitchen..."

"..."

Chen Fan raised his head blankly, with a grain of rice still stuck to the corner of his mouth.

Finally, Chen Jianguo slapped his thigh and pursed his lips, saying:

"Xiaofan! You go persuade your fourth sister too!"

"..."

Chen Fan paused his chopsticks, and the rice almost spewed out of his mouth.

With a bewildered face, he pointed at himself: "Ah... me, me go???"

"Right! You go! You and your siblings are close in age, maybe she'll listen to what you say!"

"Xiaofan, I'll leave it to you! Our whole family has confidence in you!"

"..."

Seeing that the family was serious, Chen Fan was completely numb!

No, you guys are the fourth sister's family who have spent eighteen years together day and night!

And none of your turns worked?!

Wouldn't it be even more useless for me, a younger brother who has been back home for less than a day, to go persuade her???

And what were those wild words you all said just now!

Men are playthings?

Men are chewing gum?

Three and a half billion are easily grabbed?

I am a man myself, after all!

Saying these things right in front of me makes me so ashamed.

Chen Fan ranted in his heart, while continuing to decline verbally:

"I really can't do it!"

"..."

"Go quickly!" The entire Chen family said in unison, six gazes locking onto him all at once.

Chen Fan: "..."

He glanced at his absent-minded fourth sister.

Her red big-wave hair was a messy bird's nest, her eye sockets red and swollen, her lips chapped, and the whole person looked like a rose wilted by a rainstorm.

Then he remembered that in the mall this afternoon, it was this woman.

Stepping in Martin boots, full of vigor and spirit, she forked down an entire wall of underwear to give to him, saying fiercely, "Stinky little brother, take them and wear them," while her eyes were smiling.

Sister was so good to me.

This kindness must be repaid.

He took a deep breath, picked up a bowl of rice, and cautiously walked over to Chen Xingyue.

Bending down, he gently placed the rice bowl on the coffee table in front of her.

"Fourth sister..."

He held back for a long time, truly not knowing how to comfort a heartbroken girl, so he had to start from the most naive perspective:

"Food is the staff of life, go hungry if you miss a single meal."

"Look at this braised pork, fatty but not greasy, melting in your mouth."

"Smell it, how fragrant..."

"..."

No response.

"Fourth sister, only when you're full can your complexion be good, and only with a good complexion can you be pretty."

"You wouldn't want to be starved to skin and bones and turn into an ugly monster, right?"

"..."

Still no response.

Chen Fan scratched his head and tentatively added:

"Fourth sister, you're so pretty, if you starve yourself ugly, how can you film and become a big star?"

"Think about it, if the paparazzi snap photos of you in a bad state, the headlines will definitely be exaggerated, something like 'Goddess Fallen'..."

"..."

Chen Xingyue's eyelashes

imperceptibly

trembled.

Chen Fan didn't notice and was still racking his brains to organize his words.

Just at this moment——

In his mind, a burst of unbridled wild laughter suddenly exploded.

[Hahahaha hahaha hahaha——!!!!!!]

The Immortal Venerable laughed so hard that he rocked back and forth, his voice full of schadenfreude satisfaction.

[Oh dear, this Immortal Venerable is dying of laughter! I can't live anymore, family members!]

[This love-brained girl with her lifeless expression is simply too funny! Hahaha!]

[In her past life, wasn't she always arrogant in front of this Immortal Venerable?]

[Left sentence "My Feifei is the best", right sentence "Feifei's toe is ten thousand times better than you", she practically wanted to paste that scumbag's photo on her forehead and walk down the street.]

[What about now? Her faith has collapsed, hasn't it?]

[Agonizing to the core, right? True love fed to the dogs, right?]

[Her agonizing appearance is simply even more miserable than this Immortal Venerable's failure in Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension in the past life!]

[Pfft!!! Sorry! This Immortal Venerable really couldn't hold it back!]

[Satisfying! So satisfying!!!]

[This is definitely the most satisfying show this Immortal Venerable has ever seen since Rebirth! Without a doubt!]

[It's even more exciting than the Immortal Realm's once-in-ten-thousand-years Immortal Music Grand Ceremony! It makes me even more thrilled than the destruction of the Demon Race!!!]

Chen Fan maintained a concerned expression on his face.

While his heart was already starting to crazily rant.

Hao-ge, that's enough!

Fourth sister is so sad like this, and you're still mocking her?!

Do you have any sympathy at all?!!

[Sympathy? Hehe!]

The Immortal Venerable sneered.

[She never gave this Immortal Venerable any sympathy in her past life.]

[Do you know what this love-brained girl did when this Immortal Venerable first returned to the Chen family?]

[She locked this Immortal Venerable outside the door, saying this Immortal Venerable was a bastard, and wouldn't let this Immortal Venerable sit at the table to eat.]

[This Immortal Venerable was starved for two days and two nights, and she didn't give even a single grain of rice!]

[Now she's on a hunger strike? Serves her right!]

[Starve her to death! Starve this blind and stupid woman to death!]

[What is this called? This is called instant karma! This is called the Heavenly Dao making its rounds!]

Chen Fan: "..."

Hao-ge's resentment is way too heavy, right?

[Still playing a hunger strike? Who are you trying to scare?]

The voice pack got more and more excited as it spoke.

Its tone was full of sarcasm and mockery.

[Right, right, this Immortal Venerable must find a chance to secretly take a few photos.]

[Her ghost-like appearance right now is so worth collecting, to take out and reminisce every now and then as a collection of jokes! It definitely goes well with meals!]

[As soon as I see her funeral-like face, this Immortal Venerable feels vent up anger released! Hahaha——hic!]

A certain Immortal Venerable laughed straight to hiccups.

Chen Fan's mouth twitched fiercely.

Hao-ge! Aren't you going too far?!

Can't you show some mercy with your mouth?!

My fourth sister is already this miserable! You're laughing here like it's Chinese New Year! And you're instigating me to secretly take pictures of her?!

What kind of bizarre hobby is this?!

Are you an Immortal Venerable or a devil after all?

Coming up with such a rotten idea as secretly taking ugly photos of your own sister, you pervert!!!

And the voice pack completely couldn't stop, like a resentful spirit that finally found an outlet, outputting frantically.

[Do you guys know!]

[In her past life after this love-brained girl suffered heartbreak, she loved to put on this dead-person look of not caring about anything!]

[Staring blankly out the window every day, shedding silent tears looking at fallen leaves, neither eating nor sleeping.]

[This Immortal Venerable kindly brought her a bowl of porridge! She knocked it over in one go, saying "I don't want your hypocrisy".]

[In the end, she stubbornly starved herself into anorexia, which then turned into depression.]

[Her body got worse day by day, getting as thin as a skeleton frame, falling over with a single puff of wind.]

[Later, she was secretly photographed by paparazzi, and an unedited photo rushed to the trending searches.]

[What were the headlines again? Hahaha——]

["Former Goddess Degenerates into a Walking Skeleton! Crying Breakdown on the Street Late at Night! Is This Human Nature Distortion or Moral Corruption?!"]

["Shocking! Chen Xingyue Suffers Extreme Weight Loss from Drug Use! Birth of the Ugliest Female Star in History!"]

["Before clicking: How ugly could it be? After clicking: Holy shit, a ghost!"...]

[Internet trolls all over the web were screenshotting her ugly photos to use as scary sticker packs! Hehe hehe!]

Chen Fan: ???

No, you make things up?

How did you even pull out UC Shocking Headlines style???

[This wave of public opinion was simply a fatal blow to a love-brained girl who relied on her face to make a living!]

[Coupled with the fact that she already had depression, she hid at home crying for three whole days and nights, and then——]

The Immortal Venerable's tone suddenly turned mysterious, as if telling a ghost story.

[She found a belt.]

[Crocodile skin kind, quite expensive.]

Chen Fan: ??????

[On a sunny afternoon, the sunlight was just right, and the breeze wasn't dry.]

[Outside the window, there were also a few unknown birds chirping.]

[This love-brained girl hung the crocodile skin belt on the bathroom beam——]

[Then, guess what?]

[She hung herself up! Hahaha!]

A house full of people: "What the fuck???!??????"

[That day, I was called by the police to identify the corpse!]

[This Immortal Venerable only remembers that as soon as I entered the door, I saw this love-brained girl with her eyeballs protruding, her tongue stuck out very long, the corners of her mouth crooked, hanging there swinging back and forth, like a strip of air-dried cured meat.]

[That expression was as comical as could be, and this Immortal Venerable almost couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing on the spot.]

[It was really too fucking ugly!]

[This stupid woman died so hilariously!]

[This Immortal Venerable still can't forget that scene to this day!]

[A woman who spent all day cursing this Immortal Venerable as not even worth a single toe of her boyfriend ultimately hanged herself next to the stinky toilet.]

[Just thinking about it makes this Immortal Venerable die of laughter! Pfft hahaha hahaha hahaha——]

[Burst into laughter, family members hehehehehe!!!]

Chen Fan: "..."

The Chen family members present: "..."

No? Is this right???

Is it very funny???

Seeing someone hang themselves? Is this how a normal person reacts???

Is the world crazy, or am I crazy???

Or are the handsome readers in front of the screen crazy??????

It's too hard! Brothers, the performance is too poor!

Although traffic has started coming in today, the unit price is very low! It's still hard to make a living!

For a full-time author who needs to support a family, it's a bit tough to handle!

I beg brothers, if you have time, to help me click three free "Power of Love" o(╥﹏╥)o, or give a five-star review, thank you brothers...

Brothers who have time, go watch a free ad! I can make ten cents from one ad, and ten ads make a yuan! Thank you!
