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

Chapter 83 The Overbearing President Patient is Here Again
In the Victoria Club, one of them suddenly mentioned Yun Ximo, who had not been seen for a long time, and turned to Shi Heshen with a tentative tone.

"Brother He Shen, it's been a while since I last saw Yun Ximo. Hasn't she come to see you recently? You're truly capable. You know, she's the eldest daughter of the Yun family. Even though she was brought back to the Yun family later, Old Master Yun dotes on her. If you marry her, your status in the Shi family will likely rise dramatically, and you might even be able to secure your position as heir."

When Shi Heshen heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy. He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

But it was not difficult to see from his furrowed brow and stern expression that he was extremely unhappy about being compared with Yun Ximo at this moment, especially in the context of implying that his position as the heir of the Shi family was unstable.

"I heard Yun Ximo hasn't come to you lately, hasn't even glanced at you?" The man asked with a playful smile, seemingly ignoring the gloom gathering over Shi Heshen's face. His tone was a bit teasing, but it couldn't hide his undisguised interest in Yun Ximo.

Upon hearing this, Shi Heshen frowned, his impatience evident in his words: "Can you please not mention her? It's such a bummer."

However, the man didn't seem to intend to give up. Instead, he laughed even more unscrupulously: "Second Young Master Shi, if you don't like her, why don't you help her and give her to me? I really think Yun Ximo is quite good. She is as beautiful as a flower and has a first-class figure. What's more, she comes from a prominent family and has no brains. A woman like this is simply easy to catch and control."

Although Qu Yan usually appears to be bad-tempered and idle, he actually has a calculating mind at this moment.

Yun Ximo is obedient and easy to control, which makes her undoubtedly the best candidate for marriage in Mrs. Qu's opinion.

His mother's words echoed in his ears: Yun Ximo is obedient and easy to control. More importantly, she has the support of Old Master Yun. If she could marry into the Qu family, it would not only mean that the Qu family would have easy access to some of the Yun family's resources, but also pave the way for the gradual erosion of the Yun family's vast wealth in the future.

"As for Yun Ximo," Qu Yan thought secretly, "once the Qu family's great cause is established, she will have lost her usefulness. By then, kicking her out will be a piece of cake, right?
Thinking about the trivial conflicts between him and Yun Ximo, they were just passing clouds, not worth mentioning compared to the family. What's more, Shi Heshen had no deep feelings for Yun Ximo, so breaking off the engagement was only a matter of time.

Qu Yan turned his gaze to Shi Heshen again. Although Yun Yimeng was the eldest daughter of the Yun family, her identity and background were different from Yun Ximo.

Yun Yimeng's father was Old Man Yun's younger brother. After Old Man Yun and his brothers separated from the Yun family, only Old Man Yun successfully expanded the Yun family. Therefore, in Qu Yan's view, Yun Ximo and Yun Yimeng had different status and value. Marrying Yun Ximo was obviously more beneficial than marrying Yun Yimeng.

Shi Hyuk responded with obvious displeasure, "If you want to marry her, go ahead and marry her. You don't need to report it to me." He then sarcastically said, "A woman like this is just a lifeless decoration. When did your taste become so particular?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him seemed to be frozen by the sudden chill. It was obvious that Yun Ximo's recent cold attitude towards him had worn out his patience, causing his face to look even more gloomy and heavy.

Qu Yan seemed to be accustomed to Shi Heshen's cold reaction. A playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was enjoying this subtle contest very much.

"She's always at your beck and call. No matter where you are, she'll be there within half an hour as long as you send her a message. Why don't you send her a message and invite her to Victoria? We brothers can't get together without her, so let her come and have some fun."

Although Shi Heshen remained silent, the displeasure and irritation that he inadvertently revealed were difficult to conceal.

However, Qu Yan did not intend to stop there. He quickly picked up Shi Heshen's mobile phone and pulled his hand without saying a word to unlock the screen.

Qu Yan quickly found Yun Ximo's contact information and started editing the text message.

On the screen, words jumped rapidly: "Victoria, I want to see you in half an hour."

After finishing all this, Qu Yan put the phone back on the table with a smug smile on his face: "Just wait, she will show up here in less than half an hour. When the time comes, you must seize the opportunity."

At this moment, Yun Ximo was proudly wandering in the gentle land of cute pet videos. Those little puppies were simply a group of moving marshmallows. Every twist of their hands seemed to be saying, "Come and touch me. I guarantee that you will forget all the troubles in this world!" They were simply a group of healing little gods who came down to earth specifically to save her mortal heart.

As a result, the cell phone suddenly rebelled and made a rapid ringing sound comparable to a fire truck siren, abruptly pulling her back from her sweet two-dimensional date with the puppies to the cold three-dimensional world.

Yun Ximo's expression instantly turned from sunny to gloomy, with a look of "Who is so bold as to disturb this young lady's feast of cute pets?"

The little flames whizzed upwards. "Who on earth is so blind as to dare to intrude upon the sweet time I have with my adorable pets? Are you tired of living and want to experience my 'burning wrath'?"

When I looked at it, hey, it turned out to be an "emergency call" and the sender was a stranger.

Yun Ximo opened the message with a "you're dead" vibe, but the message was as brief as a quatrain of ancient poetry, just a few words, but the domineering "if you don't come, I'll turn the world upside down" attitude was overwhelming: "See you in half an hour, Victoria."

Yun Ximo rolled her eyes. "From the tone of his voice, it's definitely that scumbag Shi Heshen. Is he itching to pick a fight with me again, or is he simply trying to make things difficult for me?"

This guy was like a time bomb for her mood, ready to detonate her good mood at any time and make her fall directly from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

This message is like a scene from a romantic drama, a scene so awkward it makes you want to scream to the heavens, "Original owner's love, are you acting out 'Blooming in the Dust'? This is the 'Strange Talk' of sadomasochism!"

Yun Ximo's mouth twitched. "Shi Heshen, did he forget to take his 'reality pills' before he left home this morning? He thinks he's a walking hormone, or the hidden hero of a Mary Sue drama? He wants me to be his little follower? Humph, Shi Heshen, your script is too outrageous. I won't play this 'dog-licking romance' with you!"

So, she used the ultimate weapon without hesitation - the blocking method. With a click of her finger, Shi Heshen's number was swallowed by a black hole and disappeared from her world in an instant, without even having time to say goodbye.

After finishing everything, Yun Ximo hummed a little tune.

The expression on her face clearly said: "My happiness is something that mortals can understand? Naive~" Then, she plunged into the ocean of cute pet videos, as happy as a fish seeing water.

"Bye, Shi Heshen, I won't accept the dog-licking script. I just like watching kittens napping and puppies having fun.

As for going to Victoria to see Shi Heshen? Haha, her schedule is already densely packed with "Cute Pet Video Awards: Who's the Cutest?", "Cat Planet Daily Lazy Day" and "Dog Planet Fun Collection: Little Destroyer".

How could she have time to care about that "domineering CEO fantasy show"? After all, the joy of watching videos, the joy of watching videos, is her true love at the moment! "What's wrong? The phone suddenly feels so smart and sends a text message to comfort you?"

"Oh, forget it, it's a scam text message. I guess they saw that my wallet was too tight, so they wanted to give me a 'wealth appreciation plan' to make me rich overnight!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qi nodded seriously, stopped asking questions, and continued to drive attentively.

"These days, even scammers have to be innovative. Otherwise, how can they stand out in text messages?"

Several rich young men were already a little drunk.
Qu Yan raised his arm, quickly glanced at the valuable watch on his wrist, and then shifted his gaze to the screen of his mobile phone.

The time on the screen clearly showed that a full hour had passed since he sent that message to Yun Ximo.

He slowly turned to Shi Heshen, deliberately drawing out his voice with a hint of gloating, "Brother Heshen, it seems Yun Ximo has made up her mind not to give you this face. An hour—not long, not short either—is enough time for her to browse all the notifications on various social platforms, yet she ignored your message and didn't even bother to reply. She's really putting on airs."

Shi Heshen sat upright on the sofa. Despite the noise around him, he seemed to be in another world. He just listened to Qu Yan's words quietly without any fluctuation on his face.

When he lowered his head again and his eyes fell on the mobile phone screen, the message sent by Qu Yan was lying there alone without any response, and a wave of irritation crept up in his heart.

Shi Heshen lit a cigarette, and the small flame danced a lonely tango under the dim light.

However, it seemed that its dancing steps were frozen by Shi Heshen's icy face, causing it to shiver. The small flame flickered, as if begging for help: "Big Boss, can you turn your face to a warmer tone? It's almost frozen into a popsicle!"

He blew out a smoke ring, and the smoke seemed to feel the chill in the air and fled everywhere, fearing that it would be frozen into a "smoke popsicle" if it was not careful.

Resisting the urge to smash the phone into pieces, Shi Heshen dialed Yun Ximo's number.

"Drip." - prelude, foreshadowing the coming storm;

"Ding." - The climax gradually rose, and the anger in my heart burned into a raging fire;

"Drip." - The soundtrack of the movie "2012", a sense of tension like the end of the world;
Five long waits, each one seemed to drill a hole in Shi Heshen's wall of patience. The dissatisfaction surged like a tide, just a little bit away from breaking through the dam and drowning the whole world.

Finally, there was a sound from the other end of the phone, like a downpour after a long drought, but there was no sign of sunshine on Shi Heshen's face.

If the phone had a mouth, it would say: [Oh my god, it finally got through! I almost couldn’t handle it!]
"Hello——" The girl's voice came through the phone line, with a sense of coldness that sounded like "If you are not serious, please do not disturb me. I am busy freezing the world." The first snow in winter, which came unexpectedly at the right time, was so cold that it made people feel chilled and shivered.

"Hello." These simple words sounded like, "I have a thousand things to say, but I won't say them. What can you do to me?" At the same time, a transparent ice wall appeared, with the words carved into it in large letters: "Don't overthink it. I simply don't want to waste time with you."

It was purely a test of Shi He Shen's patience and hearing.

Shi He slowly moved the cigarette in his hand to his lips and took a deep breath. The swirling smoke, carrying his displeasure and coldness, slowly dissipated from his nostrils.

"You have time to answer my call," he said, each word gnashing out between his teeth, "but you don't have time to reply to my message? This is not only disrespectful to me, but also irresponsible to yourself."

He flicked the ash off his cigarette, his action showing a bit of "I gave you face" attitude.

Then, in a tone that said, "I'm the chosen one, you have to be grateful," he continued, "I'm giving you the opportunity to meet me. This is an honor that many people dream of but can't get. If you don't cherish this opportunity, nothing will be taken for granted."

On the other end of the phone, the service center was in "super silent mode" and no one answered.

"Don't challenge my bottom line. Playing hard to get, making me come to you in this way?"

The person on the other end of the phone continued to maintain the noble attitude of "Silence is golden, speaking is silver, and talking more is tiring."

Shi Heshen's anger was like a flame fanned by the wind: "Yun Ximo, I want you to understand clearly that no matter what high-sounding reasons you have, crossing the line will not be tolerated."

She wasn't buying it. She couldn't take it anymore. She finally couldn't stand it any longer. Her response was like a bucket of cold water, suddenly pouring down on a winter's day: "You? You may be angry, but please turn right to see the doctor. Go straight to the mental hospital. Thank you for your cooperation."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Heshen was furious, and his whole body was about to erupt like a volcano: "Yun Ximo!"

Yun Ximo calmly interrupted him and added a handful of ice cubes to the boiling oil pan: "Why are you yelling so loudly? Your anger meter is full. I suggest you restart the calm system. As for me, I am physically and mentally healthy."

Then she continued, her voice as calm as pure water, without any ripples, "Did I ask you to call me?"

Shi Heshen was stunned. His brain circuit almost couldn't keep up with this sudden turn of events. He almost blurted out: "No."

"Isn't this right?"

Yun Ximo yawned leisurely and talked about today's weather in a calm tone.
