Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 27 What to do if a scumbag is too narcissistic?
Yun Yimeng's expression stiffened slightly at this moment, and she couldn't help but sneer inwardly. If it weren't for Yun Ximo and the sudden video incident, how could her piano recital be canceled without reason, causing a small impact on her career and reputation after returning to China?

However, facing Shi Heshen's question, she could only force a smile and said lightly: "It's okay, Heshen. It's just some temporary minor issues. It has been handled properly."

At this time, Madam Shi slowly walked down from upstairs, held Yun Yimeng's hand, and said with a smile: "Yimeng is here, she is really getting more and more beautiful." Yun Yimeng smiled and replied: "No, no, it's my aunt who is still as charming as ever."

Upon hearing this, Madam Shi smiled even brighter: "Yimeng's mouth is so sweet."

Yun Yimeng asked again: "Auntie, are you going out?"

Mrs. Shi smiled and said, "Well, I'm going to get a beauty treatment and have some tea with some sisters."

"Do you want to come too?"

Yun Yimeng shook her head and said with a smile, "Next time, Auntie. I have to go back to practice the piano later."

Mrs. Shi then turned to her son Shi Heshen and said, "Heshen, you must personally send Yimeng back. No matter how busy you are, this matter must be done."

Shi He nodded in agreement.

Yun Yimeng originally planned to refuse, but facing Mrs. Shi's unquestionable gaze, she could only smile and nod in agreement.

Afterwards, Shi Heshen opened the car door for her like a gentleman. After she was seated safely, he slowly started the car and drove towards her residence.

Along the way, Yun Yimeng gazed out the car window at the rapidly passing scenery, her heart swirling with emotions beyond words. Shi Heshen, perceptively observing the complexity and shifting nature of her expression in the rearview mirror, couldn't help but wonder if she was still resentful of the video incident. "Yimeng, don't worry too much about that..." Shi Heshen began, seemingly struggling to choose the right words. "She'll eventually reap what she sowed."

Yun Yimeng lowered her long eyelashes and said softly, "He Shen, it's none of Ximo's business. It really doesn't matter."

"These setbacks are nothing to me. Besides, I firmly believe that time will give the most fair judgment."

When passing a shopping mall on the way to send Yun Yimeng back, Yun Yimeng immediately asked Shi Heshen to stop the car and said, "Heshen, I want to go there to buy something." Upon hearing this, Shi Heshen was about to open the car door for Yun Yimeng, but at this moment, his eyes caught a familiar figure, and his brows couldn't help but frowned - Yun Ximo was walking towards them.

However, Yun Ximo had abruptly turned Shi Heshen into nothing. What about Shi Heshen's mood? It was a dark, overcast sky, with a small thunderstorm overhead.

Shi Heshen, unwilling to be completely ignored, stood in front of Yun Ximo.

Finally, Yun Ximo gave Shi Heshen a look.

"Dude, are you playing 'human roadblock'? My road, it means a lot of pressure!

Shi Heshen's eyes were filled with obvious sarcasm: "You've come at the right time. Now go to the Qin family and apologize to Mrs. Qin."

Hearing Shi Heshen's voice, Yun Ximo was like an animated character that was suddenly slowed down. She twisted her delicate neck lazily and said softly, "Did you think about this? You want me to apologize to the Qin family? Please, look at the 'good things' Qin Chen did first. He asked for this 'bad luck package'. No need to thank me!"

In Yun Yi's dream, He Shen didn't open the door for her as usual, and got out of the car by himself. When she saw Yun Ximo, she showed a surprised expression, and her smile became a little stiff: "Ximo, are you alone?"

Shi Heshen's brows furrowed even more tightly. He scolded Yun Ximo, "Yun Ximo, where have you learned all the etiquette? You're being rude to your elders, and you still expect your aunt to greet you?" Yun Yimeng saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over in a gentle and considerate voice, "Heshen, Ximo is still young. I'm used to her personality."

Yun Ximo's inner OS was flashing across the screen like crazy at this moment, with countless little cats jumping on the keyboard in her mind: I definitely forgot to step on golden dog shit when I went out today, otherwise how could I have bumped into these two protagonists with such blinding halos of saints, my luck was so bad that it felt like being sucked into a black hole in the universe.

The corner of her mouth curled up into a forced smile, and the little knife hidden in that smile flew towards Yun Yimeng.

Then, she spoke slowly, her voice as light as the morning mist: "Aunt? Do you want to make keys? How many keys? Oh, no, I should ask, are you worthy of the title of 'elder'? After all, not everyone can be called 'Saint Mother'."

Ding Dong! Ding Dong! The phone vibrated.

Yun Ximo quickly took out her cell phone and looked at it, her eyes shining, the mission began!
[Urgent task released - Help others and make yourself happy. ]

[Mission Details: Save Yu Su from dire straits, keep her away from the legendary "mama's boy" blind date and her troublesome family.]

[The target is on the G105 train. Yes, that special train that speeds along the tracks. Get your tickets ready. See you on the train!]

[Task Reward: A 50-yuan cashback card! Sounds like pie in the sky, and it just happened to hit you.]

[Countdown starts: Tick, tick, time waits for no one! Just like a train won't stop for you, you have to seize the moment and act quickly. Remember, only if you complete the task within the specified time will the fifty dollars fly into your arms!]

After reading the information released about the game, Yun Ximo's eyes sparkled with a "I can do it" light.

Is this game system on fire? How did it suddenly become so frivolous when it used to be so rigid? Even issuing quests is like that ridiculous Luo Luo.

When Shi Heshen saw Yun Ximo's shining eyes, a cold smile of "I know the best in the world" immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You want to play hard to get with me? No way. I've nailed the windows shut."

Closing her phone, Yun Ximo looked up and met Shi Heshen's gaze... that utterly narcissistic stare. Oh my god, this is bad! It seems my careless action has caused our scumbag brother to misunderstand me.

He must have thought I was teasing him, keeping him on suspense! Humph, why didn't he take a look at himself in the mirror and decide if he was worth all this trouble? He looked like a jinx who'd wandered onto the wrong set.

Yun Ximo thought about it, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. That smile was more thirst-quenching than iced lemonade in summer, but it didn't contain sugar, but was full of irony.

"It seems that all scumbags have one thing in common, that is, they love to indulge themselves and cannot extricate themselves." Yun Ximo said slowly, her voice so sweet that it could be sickening.

Shi Heshen only vaguely heard the word "scumbag". His expression immediately changed from sunny to dark, and he shouted with a thunderous roar: "What did you just say?"

Yun Ximo's smile was so brilliant it could have illuminated the dark corners of the universe. She spoke each word with the clarity of a weather forecast on the radio: "I say, you're both mentally retarded and narcissistic. You could enter the 'Universe Narcissism Competition' and win for sure."

After saying this, Yun Ximo floated past Shi Heshen and Yun Yimeng in a graceful manner. Her posture seemed to say, "What I'm walking on isn't a road, but loneliness; what I'm floating on isn't the wind, but confidence."

Not even a piece of his clothes was left behind, let alone turning around to make eye contact.

...Yun Yimeng's face was as white as a newly painted wall.

Shi He was stunned for a moment and was about to say something. She? Wasn't she here to see him?
At this moment, Luo Luo, the expert at complaining, started to pop up in Yun Ximo's mind again:
[Tsk tsk, these days, are all the bosses' brains equipped with 'weird thinking processors'? They've already pronounced someone 'guilty' before they've even fully understood the situation. This speed is faster than a food delivery guy!]

Yun Ximo nodded her intelligent little head and said, "Lolo, these days, there are so many prejudices that they can circle the earth three times. They even have their own GPS navigation system and they only choose to find the corners of people's hearts!"

Then she hailed a taxi, and drove straight to the train station as if her feet were greased.

After successfully purchasing her ticket through a mobile app, Yun Ximo entered the station. Despite the winter heat, the station was warm and she was lucky enough to find a seat.

There was still half an hour before the departure time. Not long after she sat down, Yun Ximo felt a little sleepy. She directly discussed with Zhou Gong which male model had firm abdominal muscles and slept soundly.

Just as she continued to order male models with Zhou Gong, her "alarm clock" went off. "Momo, the train's arriving! Wake up!" instantly pulled her back from her dreamlike state to the reality of the station. Yun Ximo rubbed her sleepy eyes and drowsily joined the ticket check-in procession. With her remaining "sleep-clearing energy," she successfully boarded the plane—no, the train.

As soon as Yun Ximo settled into her seat on the train, she overheard a conversation with her neighbor. A mother said to her daughter, Susu, "Susu, buying a house isn't very useful for a girl. You won't need it when you get married, so it's better for your brother. If a woman is too capable, it'll embarrass men." Yun Ximo couldn't help but turn her head to listen.

After hearing these shocking remarks, Yun Ximo's face first showed a look of disbelief, then turned into deep helplessness. This was another typical "brother-supporting demon" mother, trying to make her daughter use her hard-earned income to buy a house for her brother.

Yun Ximo secretly sighed inwardly. No wonder young people nowadays tend to distance themselves from their families of origin. Such examples are bound to make people feel sad and chilled. Using a daughter's hard-earned money to support her brother is truly unacceptable.

Su Su? Isn't this the Yu Su needed for the mission? Luo Luo's prompt suddenly echoed in Yun Ximo's mind. "Yes, it's her." Yun Ximo was a little stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to meet the mission target so soon.

But on second thought, this is also a good thing. It means a quick victory, completing the task early, and receiving the reward early.

Sadness enveloped Yu Su, and her voice became intermittent due to sobbing: "I saved this hard-earned money bit by bit, and I also bought the house with my hard-earned money. Why should I give it to my brother? Doesn't he have money himself? Am I not your daughter?"

"Snapped"--

A clear and piercing sound suddenly tore through the surrounding silence.

With a whoosh, Yun Ximo's little heart was like a ping-pong ball, beating non-stop. The one who hit her, you must have practiced iron sand palm, it was so precise and powerful, I was so scared that my little heart almost jumped out of my throat, I wish you a happy new year!

Then, an extremely angry slap fell on Yu Su's face like a violent storm, accompanied by Zhang Li's deafening roar: "I'm your mother, and you dare not listen to me?"

"Your brother has to save his money for getting married in the future. How can he have extra money to buy a house? What's wrong with giving him your house to live in?" Zhang Li's words revealed a tough attitude that could not be refuted.

Over the years, Yu Su has selflessly dedicated half of the money he earned from working hard outside to his younger brother. However, his younger brother is like an abyss that can never be satisfied.

Seeing Yu Su's hesitation, her younger brother, Yu Hao, stood nearby and immediately began to criticize her: "Sister, there's no point in keeping this house. It's been empty ever since you bought it. You're getting married soon, are you planning to let it go to waste?" In his opinion, his sister's money was his own, so giving the house to his younger brother was a matter of course. Besides, he was going to find a girlfriend and get married in the future, so how could he do without a house?

Yu Su's heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles, the pain unbearable. She looked at the mother and son before her, her eyes gradually reddening, and her voice trembling, she said, "That was earned with sweat and sweat. It's the little home I left for myself. What makes you think I can sacrifice unconditionally? I'm a person too. I have my own life and future."

After hearing Yu Su's refusal, Yu Hao's face was full of contempt, as if Yu Su's refusal had seriously damaged his interests: "Sister, I am your brother, you really make me feel disappointed."

"Your parents worked tirelessly to raise you, yet you're not only ungrateful, but you won't even offer a little support to your brother? You're truly cold-blooded."

Zhang Li rolled up her sleeves excitedly and scolded, "How can you be so unreasonable? Your brother is your flesh and blood, can't you think about him? If you are so selfish, what great things can you achieve in the future?"

Yu Su took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. A strong feeling of powerlessness surged in her chest. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel the pain at all. "Family affection is not something you can use to morally blackmail. I can help, but I can't be so unreasonable. I won't give you the house."

Yun Ximo was stunned. She couldn't believe that they actually treated her sister as a hardworking ATM.
