Upon seeing the two options presented by the Good Deeds and Accumulated Merit System, a glint of light flashed in Qiao Qiao's eyes.
At first glance, both of these choices seem to meet the requirements of doing good deeds and accumulating merit.
In reality, the first option, letting go of those who spread rumors behind Mei's back, is tantamount to condoning those despicable people who slander Mei, which is an outright evil act.
To help Mei, we must seek justice for her and let them know that Raiden Mei is under his protection, "Hokushin Sake-kyu," so that they will never dare to bully Mei again.
I choose option...2!
Qiao Qiao looked coldly at the guests, whose atmosphere was strange, oppressive, and silent. She adopted the arrogant posture of a young master from a prestigious family and said with a domineering air, "I'll count down from three. If no one stands up to admit it, then I'll take it as everyone here not welcoming Miss Mei and me, and that they want to oppose my Bei Chen family!"
"3!"
After answering the questions, Qiao Qiao impatiently began counting down, which immediately alarmed the guests around him.
To put it bluntly, although these high-ranking officials and wealthy tycoons have large and powerful families, compared with the Beichen family who possess extraordinary power, they are as different as gods and mortals. If they really offend the Beichen family at this banquet, they can forget about ever showing up in the Far East again!
Once their own interests were at stake, the guests who had been standing by and watching suddenly became restless. Although they did not want to offend the rich young ladies who had secretly slandered Mei, they were even more unwilling to offend the young master of the Beichen family.
"Hey, were you just talking badly about Mei behind her back...?"
A rich young master pointed at the girl who had just been whispering and cursing at Mei.
The girl quickly shook her head and said, "No... I didn't! Don't overthink it."
"No, I heard it too. You clearly said, 'Miss Mei is the daughter of a criminal!'"
"Yes, yes, it was her, and this person also said it!"
Due to a conflict of interest, the group of wealthy young men who had previously remained silent and stood by began to identify those who had slandered Mei.
The girls who were accused were guilty and tried their best to deny it, but their voices grew weaker and weaker. After realizing that they could not deny it, they could only admit it.
Soon, all of the dozen or so young and beautiful girls were identified and brought before Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao looked at the group of girls. They were all around the same age as Mei, dressed in gorgeous clothes, each adorned with gold and silver, and adorned with a lot of jewelry. It was obvious that they were all wealthy. Their appearances were also quite beautiful, and they could be considered "school beauties" in any high school. However, compared to the otherworldly beauty of Mei, they paled in comparison.
When he heard the slander against Mei, Qiaoqiao quietly memorized the appearances of these people. However, he did not expect that those who were spreading rumors and hurting Mei behind her back were all girls.
But it makes sense. These rich young ladies are all the apple of the eye of their respective families. They must be used to being the center of attention and have an arrogant nature. When they see that Mei is more eye-catching than them at the banquet, they can't help but feel jealous and seize on the fact that Raiden Ryoma is in jail to badmouth her.
If we're talking about who's ruthless towards women, it has to be the women themselves.
Seeing that all the rich girls had been identified, Qiaoqiao didn't want to waste any more words and lazily said, "You'd better apologize to my fiancée right now... or else..."
"Qiaoqiao threatened fiercely."
These rich young ladies, who were usually surrounded by bodyguards and had never been threatened by bad men, were terrified when Qiao Qiao said this with a gloomy expression.
But these rich young ladies are spoiled by their families and are very proud. How could they easily apologize to a "criminal's daughter" in a humble manner?
A blonde girl in a red dress stepped out of the crowd. Her companion tried to stop her, but even though she was so frightened by Jojo that her fingers trembled, she still gritted her teeth and said, "My father is Freya, the CEO of the Grassley Corporation and the eldest daughter of the Salic family! How could he possibly apologize to the daughter of a criminal!"
Upon hearing the blonde girl's words, Qiao Qiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't know where this young lady got her confidence from, daring to defy him.
Although Qiao Qiao attended the Me Society's group gathering under the identity of Bei Chen Jiu Jiu, she was ultimately not a true socialite and knew very little about these conglomerates and families.
However, the guests around him were startled and said, "Isn't the Grassley Consortium... one of the three major industrial mecha manufacturers in Europe? I've heard that the three families practically monopolize the manufacturing of large industrial mecha in Europe... and it's a Fortune Global 500 company..."
"Isn't this the super rich young lady? If it's her, then... even the young master of the Beichen family should give her some face..."
"This young master of the Beichen family has met his match!"
Hearing the words of those around her, Qiaoqiao finally understood where this young lady's confidence came from.
It turns out she was a super rich young lady born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Even among the guests present, her status was considered particularly distinguished. No wonder she dared to go head-to-head with Qiao Qiao.
Amidst the praise of those around her, the young lady who had been trembling slightly from Qiaoqiao's earlier fright gradually swelled with pride.
Yes! I am the young lady of the Grassley Consortium. Even the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance would treat me as an honored guest. Why should I be afraid of this local bully from the Far East?
The blonde woman named Freya silently encouraged herself and proudly raised her head, saying, "Young Master Beichen, I'm doing this for your own good. Raiden Mei's father, Raiden Ryoma, committed financial fraud, swindling billions of dollars... She's with you, just like her father, to deceive your family's business."
"A liar's daughter is a liar too!"
Freya said fiercely to Mei, but when she looked at Qiaoqiao, her expression suddenly became much more gentle and elegant. A confident and beautiful smile appeared on her lips as she said calmly and gracefully, "Compared to those beautiful but swindling women, a woman of high status like me is more worthy of your status as the young master of the Beichen family."
Hearing the rich girl's words, Qiao Qiao was speechless. This woman was either attracted to the Bei Chen family's power or Qiao Qiao's appearance, and seemed to have a special liking for Qiao Qiao.
However... she wasn't wrong to say that "Mei" was a fraud.
According to Freya, not only is Mei a liar, but Jojo is also her accomplice, since Jojo is neither the "young master of the Beichen family" nor Mei's fiancé.
Qiao Qiao impersonated Bei Chen Jiu Jiu only to help Mei deceive everyone at the banquet and steal the ledger that could prove Raiden Ryoma's innocence.
But...who says counterfeit goods are inferior to genuine products?
Qiaoqiao deliberately uses the identity of a fake to deceive all the genuine sons of the powerful and wealthy present, making a fool of them and manipulating them at will!
Upon hearing Freya's accusations, Mei looked dejected and couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal. She saw a reflection of her past self in this young lady—arrogant, haughty, and unwilling to bow to anyone.
She used to be a high-and-mighty young lady, until... her father passed away.
[You, as Kitashita Sakehisa, forced those who slandered Mei to apologize, but a young lady named Freya refused to apologize and even argued with you, verbally abusing Mei in front of you. Faced with such a strong-willed young lady, what will you choose...?]
[Option 1: Release Mei's slender, delicate fingers, walk to Freya's side, and say softly, "Woman, your personality has successfully caught my attention. Compared to a fallen heiress, a heiress like you, worth over a hundred million, is much more to my liking."]
Option 2: Stand firmly by Mei's side, slap Freya as a warning, and say coldly, "Did I give you face? Apologize to Mei right now! Otherwise, I'll beat you so badly that even your own parents won't recognize you!"
Looking at the two options in front of her, Qiaoqiao felt confused.
On one side is a wealthy heiress worth over 100 million, and on the other side is a beautiful and charming goddess. How should you choose?
Chapter 186 It's alright, Cocolia will step in (4k)
The first option given by the Good Deeds System is for Jojo to abandon Mei and turn to Freya.
To be fair, a wealthy woman like Freya, with a net worth of over 100 million, is indeed very attractive to Qiao Qiao.
If it were anyone else, being pursued by a young, beautiful, and wealthy woman like Freya, they would probably choose the first option without hesitation and throw themselves into her arms.
After all, even a woman with delicate features and an elegant and refined appearance like Mei will eventually grow old, but a rich woman's wealth is real and substantial, enough to enjoy for a lifetime.
Being good-looking doesn't put food on the table.
Beauty versus wealth—which is more important? Most people can figure it out without even thinking.
Unfortunately, in the real world, Qiaoqiao possesses a system for doing good deeds and accumulating merit. Abandoning Mei and turning to other women is a betrayal that the system absolutely cannot tolerate.
Based on Qiao Qiao's understanding of the system's mechanics, if Qiao Qiao is tempted by money and abandons Mei, then it is highly likely that Qiao Qiao's disguise as Bei Chen Jiu Jiu will be exposed, and her deception will be revealed. In the end, Qiao Qiao will be hated by this rich girl. At best, she will be imprisoned for cheating money and sex. If it leads to the worst Bad End, Qiao Qiao may be stabbed to death by this rich girl.
Unlike the villain life simulator, which requires you to do evil, in the good deeds system, JoJo absolutely cannot choose the option to do evil. Otherwise, after becoming a "scumbag" who abandons Mei, what awaits JoJo is a tragic ending similar to that of "Makoto Shinkai".
Rich women may be appealing, but Qiaoqiao will not ignore the reminder to do good deeds and accumulate merit for a little money, thus heading down a path of ruin.
Furthermore, Qiao Qiao had played games before and had been classmates with Mei at St. Freya for many years; his feelings for her couldn't be shaken by a little money.
Although this woman is the daughter of a Fortune 500 company, since she dared to insult Mei in front of me, even if she were the daughter of a bishop of Destiny, I would never let her off the hook!
Freya stood in the center of the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her exquisite and beautiful face like spotlights.
At this moment, under Freya's slander, Raiden Mei recalled her father's imprisonment and lowered her head in shame. The gazes of those around her, who treated criminals, were as sharp as arrows, making her unable to look directly at them. Her heart was extremely heavy. If it weren't for Jojo by her side, she wouldn't want to stay in this banquet hall for even a second longer.
Seeing Qiao Qiao lost in thought and Mei looking dejected, Freya stood in the center of the crowd, feeling like the leading lady, attracting everyone's attention and controlling the rhythm of the whole scene, and her mood became increasingly swelled.
“Young Master Beichen, look… that criminal’s daughter didn’t even dare to contradict me. She’s clearly ashamed because I exposed her scheme.” Freya’s lips curled into a confident smile. “That criminal’s daughter, who covets your family’s wealth, is utterly unworthy of you…”
Upon hearing Freya's slander against Mei, Jojo clenched her fists tightly.
For the crystal reward of doing good deeds, to vent my disgust, and even more so for Mei!
I choose... the second option!
Jojo raised her hand and slapped Freya's arrogant and delicate face.
Seeing that Mei and Jojo remained silent, Freya continued, "Compared to Mei, a strong alliance with my family... would be more in line with your status..."
A loud "crack!"
Under the watchful eyes of all the guests, Jojo slapped Freya across the face without hesitation.
Before Freya could finish speaking, she was stunned by a hard slap from Jojo. Her slender body collapsed to the ground like a willow branch, clutching her burning, painful cheek, with crimson blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
The guests present gasped in shock when they saw Freya get slapped down by Jojo.
She's the heiress of the Grassley family!
The young master of the Beichen family actually dared to hit her! And he did it so ruthlessly!
Amidst their shock, the guests present couldn't help but admire Jojo, as they had long harbored resentment towards Freya, a woman who was jealous of Mei's beauty and bullied others.
However, Freya's family was too powerful, so even if they had a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts, they dared not show it, and even had to fawn over him.
However, Qiaoqiao showed no fear of Freya's family power whatsoever. She slapped the spoiled and willful young lady, doing what the other guests wanted to do but dared not.
This courage and boldness commanded the utmost respect from these men of spirit.
Freya collapsed to the ground, clutching her cheek that was streaming with crimson blood. She looked at Jojo in disbelief and roared, "How dare you hit me!"
Hearing Freya's question, Jojo wasn't flustered at all; in fact, she almost laughed.
This young lady is really spoiled by her family. She clearly used hurtful words, but she acted like she was the victim. Qiaoqiao felt disgusted just looking at her.
This was a rare opportunity, and Qiaoqiao was determined to teach this spoiled brat a lesson on behalf of her family.
Qiaoqiao gripped Mei's slender, jade-white fingers tightly and cursed, "You think I'm being nice to you? Apologize to Mei right now! Otherwise, I'll beat you so badly your own parents won't recognize you!"
Jojo's eyes were as cold and terrifying as ice and snow, making Freya feel a chill down her spine. The anger in her words made her even more terrified.
The surrounding guests watched as Freya was beaten by Qiaoqiao, but dared not lend a hand. After all, none of them dared to offend the young master of the Beichen family. They all pretended not to see anything and distanced themselves from Freya.
This was the first time in Freya's life that a man had slapped her, and the first time she had ever been verbally abused by a man like this.
Feeling the pain of the slap and seeing the blood flowing from her mouth, Freya, who had always been pampered, could no longer hold back.
"Waaaaah! It hurts so much...it's so scary!"
Under the watchful eyes of all the guests, Freya, who was clearly a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, was forced by Jojo to cry like a three-year-old child.
She still encountered men like Qiaoqiao, whom she couldn't suppress with her family background, and couldn't help but feel afraid.
In other words... she backed down.
"I'm sorry, Miss Mei. I will never speak ill of you behind your back again. I know I was wrong!"
Freya said, weeping bitterly.
