Chapter 242: Why Did She Choose Qiao Nian
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When he saw the Seven paper bag, he’d thought there was a Seven-brand bracelet or necklace inside.
Perhaps a one-carat diamond or something.
Who knew there were property deeds inside!
They weren’t just properties, but properties in Beijing! Prime district, three units! What was going on? The price of these three units combined amounted to at least a nine-figure sum!
What was Sister Nian’s relationship with Cheng Feng Corporation?
Even people on relatively good terms wouldn’t give each other such gifts, right?
…
On the other side, Qiao Weimin and Qiao Chen stood a few feet away from Yuan Yongqin’s car. They stood rooted to the ground as if their feet were nailed down.
Although it was a distance away, they could see the “gift” Yuan Yongqin handed to Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian took out three red booklets.
They looked like property deeds.
But the distance between them was too great, and they only had a vague view of them. Qiao Nian then placed the items back in the bag and they didn’t get a second glance at them.
“Dad, how does Aunt Yuan know Qiao Nian?” Qiao Chen’s throat was practically on fire. She found it hard to even swallow her saliva.

Just now, in front of so many people—including reporters—Yuan Yongqin had said to her face that she wasn’t worthy of wearing Seven’s items. It was akin to giving her a tight slap. She felt slightly dizzy from embarrassment, almost as if she’d really been hit.
Even the earrings she was so proud of only made her ears burn even more.
She couldn’t take it lying down if she took them off.
But if she kept them on, it would just remind others of all the mean things Yuan Yongqin had said.

Qiao Chen had never been this embarrassed before. Her nails dug so deep into her flesh, her skin was about to tear. She asked Qiao Weimin suspiciously, “Dad, did you not hand the invitation to Aunt Yuan?”
Qiao Weimin wasn’t any better off than her. Qiao Chen had been embarrassed, but so had he been as a father! Upon hearing her doubting tone, his expression darkened and he said grumpily, “I did!”
“Then, why did Aunt Yuan go over to Qiao Nian’s?”
“How am I supposed to know?”
He had no idea why Yuan Yongqin would choose Qiao Nian. Previously, he had seen Qiao Nian walk out of Cheng Feng Corporation before, but he didn’t expect the two of them to be on such good terms, so much so that Yuan Yongqin actually came for Qiao Nian. Meanwhile, he had gone down personally to send the invitation to her, only to meet with this response. Wasn’t this a slap to his face?
Qiao Weimin was fuming and couldn’t control himself any longer. He said, “I said so, didn’t I? I told you that Qiao Nian might know Chairman Yuan, but you and your mom both said that I was overthinking things and that she couldn’t possibly know Chairman Yuan. Now look, do they look like they don’t know each other?!”
“How could you blame me? I also didn’t expect things to turn out this way.” Qiao Chen was a little aggrieved. “Our family has always had a good relationship with Cheng Feng Corporation. I thought that in any case, Aunt Yuan would never choose Qiao Nian over us…”
This was what frustrated Qiao Weimin the most, too.
He couldn’t figure out how Qiao Nian knew Yuan Yongqin, much less why they were so close.
He speculated out of spite, “Maybe it’s got to do with her father. Her father teaches in Beijing and is a professor at Qing University. Chairman Yuan is from Beijing too, perhaps the both of them know each other.”

Was this the case?
Qiao Chen thought for a bit and felt that this was very likely.
She simply wouldn’t believe Qiao Nian was capable enough to know someone as powerful as Yuan Yongqin.
“… But Aunt Yuan has gone over to her side. What do we do now?” She bit her lip and felt the bitterness in her heart.
She had thought she could embarrass Qiao Nian utterly today and thumb her down.

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
