The Host is Clearly A Scumbag (Quick Travel)

After the two of them started living together shamelessly, Shen Tinglan finally realized that it was still her father who was good at judging people. Mingting wasn't at all the person she had imagined.

This man was petty, vindictive, and loved setting traps. Beneath that gentle and refined exterior flowed nothing but mischief.

However, when he cared for someone, he'd give them the shirt off his back.

Mingting was exactly what her father had called him, a wolf cub!

Moreover, his stamina was… too good.

Feeling the large hands kneading her waist in a slow massage, Shen Tinglan let out a soft hum and buried her face deeper into the pillow, determined to sleep a little longer.

While their relationship reached new heights, the Xiao Family descended into chaos.

Watching helplessly as the Xiao Corporation transformed into part of Zhengheng Group, Xiao Yu not only hated Shi Yunyun and Mingting, but also hated himself for being incompetent.

Mingting could have spared the Xiao Family but chose to stand by and do nothing.

The Gu Family had even taken the Xiao Corporation's assets and gifted them to the Shen Family, cementing the alliance between the two families.

With Xiao Yu's current status, there was nothing he could do to retaliate against them. So, he can only vent his anger on Shi Yunyun.

If it weren't for Sun Ting giving Mingting 5% of the Xiao Corporation's shares in exchange for him dropping the plagiarism charges against Shi Yunyun, the Xiao Family might not have lost everything.

Seeing Father Xiao, who had a stroke and had no money to stay in the ICU, and Mother Xiao, who was crying day and night, Xiao Yu's hatred for Shi Yunyun festered like poison.

After all, if she hadn't gotten pregnant, or if she had just obediently gotten an abortion, he wouldn't have been forced into this situation. Generations of the Xiao Family's hard work wouldn't have been wiped out overnight.

At first, Xiao Yu had tried to motivate himself.

He felt that even if the Xiao Corporation was gone, he was still a graduate of a prestigious university, talented and capable, so he could start from scratch and rebuild his empire.

But when Xiao Yu really went out to find a job and hit a wall everywhere, he finally knew what reality was.

Having grown up as the proud 'Young Master Xiao', he couldn't lower his head, bend his back, or force a smile for anyone.

After knowing that he was the same Xiao Yu who had plagiarized and framed his own friend, many companies felt that he had problems with his character and directly rejected him.

Those Xiao Yu had once looked down upon now flocked to laugh at his downfall.

Xiao Yu had always been domineering, hot-tempered, and unforgiving. He had grudges with many young second-generation and third-generation young masters in the circle.

Now that the Xiao Family had fallen, these people naturally came to kick him while he was down.

Mockery and ridicule were the least of his worries. The worst was when the Lin Family's heir, whom Xiao Yu had once humiliated, publicly declared: "Anyone who helps Xiao Yu is my enemy."

Overnight, Xiao Yu found himself completely isolated.

During the day, he squeezed into crowded subways with other office workers to find a job.

When he comes back at night, his cramped apartment still has Father Xiao, who can't take care of himself, and Mother Xiao, who has never done any housework.

Gradually, Xiao Yu's mind became more and more twisted.

His first 26 years of luxury now felt like a distant dream!

Every morning when Xiao Yu woke up, his nose would be filled with the smell of feces/urine on Father Xiao's bed, and his ears were filled with Mother Xiao's crying and cursing.

Not long after, Xiao Yu, who still had ambitions to turn things around, completely gave up on himself.

He started extorting money from Shi Yunyun, shamelessly living off her.

Some people, when they fall from great heights, can't handle the psychological blow and end up shameless, behaving recklessly as if they've given up entirely.

Xiao Yu was exactly like that now.

He stayed home all day and ordered takeout every day. He doesn't care that Shi Yunyun is pregnant and forces her to wash clothes and clean the house. He even forces her to change Father Xiao's clothes.

Of course, Shi Yunyun refused to care for Father Xiao, so she had no choice but to use the money Sun Ting gave her to hire a professional caregiver.

Back when they got married, Sun Ting was worried for her daughter and gave Shi Yunyun an apartment, two storefront properties, and some jewelry.

The jewelry had already been sold off by Xiao Yu.

Though the apartment was under Shi Yunyun's name, the storefronts were solely registered under Sun Ting's.

Sun Ting had always believed that a woman must have her own money.

When Xiao Corporation got into trouble, she was even more relieved that she hadn't transferred the property titles to her daughter just to save face.

Sun Yun knew that Shi Yunyun was soft-hearted, and if she were sweet-talked by Xiao Yu into handing over the properties, her and her child's future would truly be left with no security.

So no matter what Xiao Yu said or how Shi Yunyun begged her, Sun Ting held firm on one point: the apartment and storefronts were for the child, and no one could take them from her grandson.

Sun Ting had cunningly left a backup plan for Shi Yunyun. But in Xiao Yu's eyes, the Shi Family, as in-laws, had refused to help the Xiao Family in their time of need, and Shi Yunyun was nothing but a jinx.

Xiao Yu's resentment toward Sun Ting and his long-brewing hatred for Shi Yunyun kept piling up.

Finally, one day, he laid hands on Shi Yunyun.

Slap!

Under the influence of alcohol, Xiao Yu slapped Shi Yunyun to the ground with a slap. He then snatched her phone and transferred all the money in it to his own bank account.

"You hit me?"

Shi Yunyun clutched her swollen cheek and looked at Xiao Yu in disbelief.

She had rejected Mingting, who had doted on her endlessly, given up the chance to be the second young madam of the Gu Family, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to loving Xiao Yu… only to be repaid like this?
