It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

The man didn't seem to mind Su Yu's tone. He straightened Su Yu's head, took out cosmetics, and began to apply makeup to Su Yu.

"Oh, it's just a little bit of simple makeup. This is what the young lady asked me to do. Don't worry, it'll be done in no time. Boys can wear makeup too, and they'll look even better with makeup on."

Su Yu sighed. If Lin Qingmeng asked him to do the makeup, then there was nothing he could do. He couldn't very well go against Lin Qingmeng over such a small matter.

Let's draw it then.

Although this person was a bit effeminate, he was still very capable. He finished applying the makeup in just a few strokes. However, when he tried to touch Su Yu's eyes, Su Yu stopped him.

"Don't touch my eyes."

Lin Qingmeng only asked him to do his makeup; she didn't say he had to finish it all. Su Yu had basically figured out Lin Qingmeng's tricks.

She's similar to that bad woman; both are the kind of bad women with a strong desire for control. Although Lin Qingmeng isn't that bad yet, she already has that potential.

This is probably why Su Yu made up his mind not to marry into the family.

He hates bad women.

The person doing Su Yu's makeup was stunned for a moment, but still didn't refute Su Yu's intention. He said, "If you don't want to do my eyes, then don't do my eyes."

After giving Su Yu a quick tidy-up, the makeup artist pointed to the wardrobe in the corner: "Your clothes should be there. It's a new suit that the young lady bought for you. You can change into it and come out in a bit."

After saying that, the makeup artist left, and Su Yu looked at herself in the mirror.

It has to be said that this makeup artist is really skilled; in just a few minutes, he was able to make himself look a little more handsome. Su Yu stood up, walked to the wardrobe, and took out the clothes.

The suit looks very high-end. If I had damaged it in the past, I probably would have had to sell myself again to make up for it.

As for now...

Su Yu was no longer so worried.

After changing his clothes, Su Yu went outside and sat on a chair, waiting for Lin Qingmeng to come out. He was a little bored, so he casually replied to a few of An Ningying's slightly harassing messages.

About ten minutes later, Su Yu felt the door in front of him being pushed open. He looked up and saw Lin Qingmeng walk out.

For a moment, Su Yu was amazed.

She was wearing a black evening gown, which made her already fair skin appear even whiter. The skirt reached her calves, revealing her perfectly shaped legs.

Her upper body wasn't exposed too much, just her collarbone and a little bit of her snow-white breasts, with her slender arms showing, making Lin Qingmeng look even more charming.

Her long hair cascaded down her body, and she looked at Su Yu with a shy expression, her lips pursed. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye made her eyes even more affectionate.

No wonder she's the school beauty.

Su Yu simply felt that Lin Qingmeng looked very beautiful in this outfit, but he quickly returned to normal. He looked Lin Qingmeng up and down again, as if admiring a work of art.

artwork…

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Lin Qingmeng's eyes.

It shouldn't be like this; it shouldn't just be about admiring...

You have to be obsessed with me...

Lin Qingmeng tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, smiled, and her smile was alluring and captivating.

Not enough...

You made the wrong choice right from the start.

81 Uneasy

Lin Qingmeng didn't show much. She looked at Su Yu with a hint of expectation in her eyes. Su Yu saw her eyes and knew what she was thinking.

She probably wants me to praise her.

Su Yu would certainly praise them when they were together before, but now…

Su Yu looked away, pretending not to see Lin Qingmeng's gaze. He walked to Lin Qingmeng's side, his eyes fixed on the stairs, and said with a hint of changing the subject:

"Has the banquet not started yet?"

Lin Qingmeng seemed to understand the implication in Su Yu's words. She pouted and lightly kicked Su Yu's shin with some dissatisfaction.

It didn't hurt at all; in Lin Qingmeng's actions, there seemed to be more of a coquettish tone.

"Hmph, it's already started. It started when I went to pick you up, but I don't really like this kind of scene, so I only changed my clothes at this time."

Su Yu nodded, indicating that he roughly understood. Then Lin Qingmeng pulled Su Yu downstairs to their backyard.

Su Yu only understood why Lin Qingmeng was able to hold a banquet in her own backyard after she arrived here.

To be honest, Su Yu felt that when he saw Lin Qingmeng's backyard, he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

In the end, Su Yu could only sigh.

This backyard…

Real capital…

The backyard was large, and by this time there were already many people. Everyone was standing under the lights, dressed in suits and expensive leather shoes, holding tall wine glasses, chatting and laughing with their business partners.

Everyone was smiling and chatting happily.

No one seemed to be smiling; they were all fighting each other.

Everyone harbors their own dirty secrets, discussing business matters with their competitors or business partners who are always plotting against them.

Rather than...

They're just using empty phrases.

Although Su Yu was mentally prepared for this scene, he still felt nauseous when he saw it.

My stomach is really upset, just looking at them makes me feel terrible.

want to vomit.

His vision blurred, and in Su Yu's eyes, they all tore off their disguises, revealing terrifying grins, their eyes filled with greed, each of them moving as if they wanted to devour the other.

It's really ugly.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness, as if something was enveloping him. That thing seemed to originate from those people, and it was as black as a shadow.

They grabbed your feet, they climbed onto your body, they whispered in your ear, their voices hoarse with laughter.

They want to drag you down into the abyss so you can never climb out again.

It felt like something was choking him, making it hard to breathe. Su Yu silently took a step back, and he seemed to hear a sound in his ear.

The music wasn't playing in this scene; it sounded like a girl softly humming, her voice possessing a unique charm.

It's Xue Zhiqian's Animal World.

Su Yu could barely make out the singing voice. She glanced at Lin Qingmeng, her vision blurred, and the girl's face became indistinct.

He felt like he was suffocating.

The oppressive atmosphere here is too strong.

Su Yu began to take deep breaths, but he felt it was getting harder and harder to breathe. Those people seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, so close that they seemed to want to devour him.

Singing, conversation, music, clinking glasses.

Finally, all those sounds disappeared, leaving only the girl's soft humming.

Driven by greed, they'll stop at nothing.

The singing suddenly stopped, and Su Yu lowered his head as the world before his eyes began to spin.

"There are empty seats over there, let's go get some cake and then sit down and eat there."

Lin Qingmeng's voice came, and only then did Su Yu remember why he was there. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

It felt like something was choking him, preventing him from even calling for help.

Su Yu lowered his head, and Lin Qingmeng's smile blossomed at that moment. She changed from holding Su Yu's hand to taking his arm.

She could feel Su Yu's stiffness, his unease, and his discomfort.

But she didn't stop Su Yu's emotions from festering; she simply let them occupy his mind, because…

This was her plan all along.

Lin Qingmeng ignored the gazes cast at her and took Su Yu's arm, walking forward step by step. At this moment, Su Yu was like a puppet on a string, very obedient.

He was just obediently following Lin Qingmeng. He was really in pain at this moment. His mind was blank, and he could only subconsciously rely on the person next to him.

Lin Qingmeng took a piece of cake, then took Su Yu's arm and walked towards the sofa in the corner, which seemed somewhat out of place there.

There's no place to rest at this banquet, just this one sofa, but nobody dares to sit on it. It's as if everyone at the banquet knows who owns this sofa.

Miss Lin...

The assistant, who had been standing next to the sofa, left after seeing Lin Qingmeng arrive, handing her a bottle of wine before leaving.

Lin Qingmeng saw the bottle of wine and smiled with satisfaction.

Su Yu sat down on the sofa with Lin Qingmeng. Some people were looking at Su Yu and Lin Qingmeng with curious eyes, and Su Yu's body became even stiffer at this moment.

Su Yu recalled her past.

Those people were also smiling, holding wine glasses, and looking him up and down with the same kind of gaze.

That was me back then.

It is cargo.

Anxiety—this emotion shouldn't be present in Su Yu, but he was experiencing it nonetheless. Sweat began to bead on his forehead, breathing became difficult, and he felt...

I feel uncomfortable no matter what.

This feeling can no longer be described as unease; rather than unease, it's more like…

fear…

When people are afraid, they tend to subconsciously rely on the people around them.

Lin Qingmeng squinted and touched her eyes, curiously looking at Su Yu now, thinking to herself.

That medicine is incredibly effective...
