At this time, Jiang San and Guihua were about to go to bed, but they suddenly heard strange noises coming from Jiang Meimei's room.

"What’s all this wailing in the middle of the night? If you wake your brother, see how your father punishes you!"

Guihua stormed over angrily.

But when she saw the scene inside the room, she was so frightened that she immediately called for Jiang San.

The couple cautiously stepped inside, only to see Jiang Meimei sitting cross-legged wit...

After He Gu put away the silver, Mingting handed her the ginseng that had been nibbled on by a rabbit.

"Mom, this ginseng is not good-looking anymore, so let’s keep it for our own use. You and Sister have worked hard for the family all these years and need nourishment. Brother-in-law is preparing for the imperial examination and should also replenish his health."

Originally, He Gu had been heartbroken over the ruined ginseng, but after hearing Mingting’s arrangement, she didn�...

Watching Daya happily suck the juices from rabbit spine bones, He Gu gnaw on the head, and Jiang Xiao'e chew the meatless ribs, Mingting felt a lump in his throat.

In his last world, he had been born into privilege. The Gu Family was wealthy and Mingting had never worried about money.

Usually, he would spend hundreds of millions casually, and he didn't have much knowledge of money, nor did he have such a great desire for material things.

But when he arrived here and saw that...

Afterwards, the System personally witnessed a miracle.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Mingting had already caught three rabbits, one pheasant, and two wild geese.

"Uncle, why are they acting so weird?"

Xiaosong stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

He had seen with his own eyes how the wild geese had been flying perfectly fine, only to suddenly crash-land right at Mingting’s feet, as if they were drunk and dizzy.

"I don’t know either. It se...

Although Jiang San was not tall, he’d spent years laboring in the fields and was as strong as an ox. His palm, which is as big as a fan, struck Jiang Meimei’s face so hard that blood immediately trickled from the corner of her mouth.

"I, I didn't."

Jiang Meimei’s left cheek swelled up, and she was dazed from the blow.

When she saw Mingting’s unconcealed smirk, she lunged at him: "You are talking nonsense, I will fight you!"

“Mom, she’s throwing a tantrum be...

Scumbag Chapter 41 The Villain is Beautiful and Powerful Without a Tragic Backstory (4)

Mingting was amused by the Female Lead’s ability to spout nonsense with a straight face.

‘Next time you try to frame someone, at least wipe the drool off your mouth first!’

Seeing Jiang Meimei's greedy expression, Mingting almost thought he was a braised pork knuckle.

“How can you be so malicious, kid?"

When He Gu saw Jiang Meimei slandering Mingting, she couldn’t stand it, "My Mingting has already suffered enough, and now you’re rubbing salt in his wounds?...

Wang Zhi was a student of Jiang Xiucai. He passed the county-level examination at seventeen and married his teacher’s daughter, Jiang Xiao'e.

The couple had two children, a daughter, Daya, and a son, Xiaosong.

Back when Jiang Xiucai fell ill, the family spent heavily on his treatment, leaving them strapped for cash.

After failing the provincial examination several times, Wang Zhi took a job as an accountant in town, supplementing their income by copying books and writing l...

Scumbag Chapter 39 The Villain is Beautiful and Powerful Without a Tragic Backstory (2)

After reviewing the entire story, Mingting felt a pang of sympathy for this beautiful, powerful, yet tragic villain.

Song Mingting was originally destined to be a marquis and a prime minister, but he happened to meet the Female Lead.

The Female Lead of this small world, Jiang Meimei, is a ‘lucky koi’. She is someone who stumbled upon ginseng in the mountains, caught giant fish in the river, rescued nobles on the road, and dug up gold at home.

But her luck was unnatural, ...

As Mingting opened his eyes, he found himself in the water.

"Kid, don't be afraid!" A woman's urgent voice rang in his ears. She spoke while coughing violently.

"Don't struggle, I won't let go of you…" Jiang Xiao'e gasped for breath, with one arm holding Mingting while the other paddled fiercely, trying desperately to reach the shore.

They had drifted far with the current, and the drowning child had been thrashing about, exhausting Jiang Xiao'e and making her choke on seve...

This year was later called ‘The First Year of Mingting’ by the design industry.

For the first 26 years of his life, the design master Gu Mingting, as he described himself in an interview with People Weekly, was an ‘ordinary’ rich second generation.

It wasn’t until he married his wife, Shen Tinglan, at the age of 26 that his brilliance began to shine, marking the official start of his era in design.

Rebel Immortal premiered that year on Christmas.

This fantasy...

While Mingting waited outside the gynecology clinic for Shen Tinglan, Shi Yunyun happened to walk out after her prenatal exam.

She looked terrible. She’s pale and thin, with no visible weight gain during her pregnancy, making her protruding belly appear even larger.

No one had accompanied Shi Yunyun to the checkup. The nurse supporting her repeatedly reminded her to rest well and maintain proper nutrition during pregnancy.

Shi Yunyun spotted Mingting immediately.

He ...

Later, with Xiao Yu’s help, Zhao Wanli successfully snatched several more projects from the Gu Family.

As the Zhao Family repeatedly outmaneuvered them, the Gu Family’s missteps piled up, and Gu Mingxuan and Father Gu expressions grew increasingly grim.

In the latest bidding war, Father Gu personally attended, aggressively raising the bid from the start.

This time, Xiao Yu advised Zhao Wanli not to win the bid, but to compete with the Gu Family and force the price up as ...

Scumbag Chapter 34 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (34)

Mingting's guess was not wrong.

At first, Xiao Yu and Shi Yunyun indulged themselves for a few days.

Having regained their youth, with their bodies rejuvenated, teeth and health restored, the two went out every day to eat, drink, and have fun.

Even though they were often pointed at and gossiped about outside, it still didn’t dampen their mood.

Summer insects can’t comprehend ice! (T/N: It meant ignorant people can't understand profound matters.)

Xiao Yu, havi...

When Sun Ting returned from buying food and saw Shi Yunyun and Xiao Yu were together again, she was furious and tried to pull her away.

"Mom, what are you doing?!"

Shi Yunyun angrily shook off Sun Ting’s hand.

"Xiao Yu and I are fine! Can you stop meddling in our business? What good does it do you if I get divorced?!"

Having such an ungrateful daughter almost gave Sun Ting a stroke.

"Fine, fine! You two are the perfect couple, and I’m the villain! From now on...

Scumbag Chapter 32 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (32)

Shi Yunyun managed to extricate herself from this matter, pushing all the blame onto Xiao Yu.

This kind of selfish behavior makes her and Xiao Yu a perfect match made in heaven!

In the original timeline, Shi Yunyun used this very facade to falsely accuse the Male Supporting Role of forcing himself on her, cheating, and domestic violence, leading to the original Gu Mingting being cyberbullied.

Ironically, this time, she actually did experience domestic violence, and the perpe...

"Good hit!" Mother Xiao clapped her hands from the side.

She was no longer a wealthy old lady. Her bags and jewelry had all been sold to fill the financial holes, and her life had plummeted from heaven to hell. Mother Xiao had long hated Shi Yunyun to the bone.

"If I’d known you were a jinx, I never would’ve let A-Yu marry you!"

Mother Xiao firmly believed that Shi Yunyun was the one who had brought ruin to the Xiao Family.

"You killed your own father when you were...

Scumbag Chapter 30 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (30)

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!

...

Scumbag Chapter 29 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (29)

Shi Yunyun wasn’t a complete fool. After consulting with a lawyer, she learned that during pregnancy and for one year after childbirth, or six months after a terminated pregnancy, the husband couldn’t file for divorce. Plus, there was now a mandatory 30-day cooling-off period for divorces.

Shi Yunyun was relieved. She loves Xiao Yu, so how could she agree to a divorce?

Besides, who got divorced right after marriage? She’d be the laughingstock of the entire social circle.

Scumbag Chapter 28 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (28)

"Don't be sad. It's not worth hurting over people who don’t matter to you."

Shen Tinglan originally wanted to ruffle Mingting’s hair, but since he was dressed as the Eldest Senior Brother today, and his hair was tied up neatly, she couldn’t do it, which left her feeling a little regretful.

"You don’t have to worry about the outside mess. I’ll handle it for you."

Just thinking about how Mingting had been wronged and attacked online made Shen Tinglan furious at Xiao ...

In less than five minutes, Weibo was paralyzed.

Many people rubbed their eyes and started rereading the posts over and over. Only then did they figure out the identity of the Ordinary Little Artist.

Gu Mingting, the second son of Mingyue Group and the son-in-law of Zhengheng Group.

‘Can someone with such identity be called ‘ordinary’?’

‘Young Master Gu, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word ‘ordinary’?

Countless people were spammi...

Scumbag Chapter 26 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (26)

After learning the news that the Ordinary Little Artist was going to start a livestream, netizens speculated a lot about his identity, profession, the setting he'd appear in, and how he'd present himself.

After two days of online frenzy, the public opinion had become overwhelmingly one-sided.

There are fewer and fewer people standing up for the Ordinary Little Artist, as anyone who dared defend him was immediately shouted down.

At this time, he wants to start a livestream, i...

"Xiao Yu, calm down! Don’t resort to violence…"

Sun Ting, who had followed them, was anxious. She hurried forward to pry open Xiao Yu's hands and wiped her daughter's tears distressedly.

As in-laws, since Father Xiao fainted and was rushed to the hospital, Mr. Shi also came with him.

Seeing the look on Xiao Yu’s face, he could guess what was going on.

Mr. Shi never expected Shi Yunyun to be so brazen.

To say she plagiarized would be giving her too much cred...

"Be happy forever!" Countless people typed across their screens.

Unfortunately, the happiness was fleeting.

Just when the atmosphere of the wedding reached its peak, Xiao Yu invited their distinguished guest, Prince Sahara's steward, to come up and give a speech.

"Today, witnessing this couple enter the sacred bonds of marriage, I’d like to offer my congratulations. At the same time, I have a gift to present."

‘A gift?’

Shi Yunyun was thrilled.

Before...

Scumbag Chapter 23 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (23)

The System, who has been monitoring Shi Yunyun, watched as the Xiao Family and Shi Yunyun follow the path arranged by Mingting step by step, and it broke out in a cold sweat.

What truly left the System speechless was how Shi Yunyun had now fully embraced her ‘Genius Designer’ persona.

She was from a wealthy family and was a daughter of a wealthy family. Now, she is going to marry into a wealthy family. She has won prestigious design awards and was praised by veterans as a gift...

Scumbag Chapter 22 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (22)

"Are you tired?"

In the hotel room, Shen Tinglan gently pressed a warm towel against Mingting’s right hand with concern.

Mingting had been drawing too much recently, and a layer of calluses had formed on the first knuckle of his middle finger.

His hands had been overworked for so long that even now, as he picked at his food, his fingers trembled uncontrollably. In the end, Shen Tinglan had to feed him with a spoon.

"Exhausted…" Mingting closed his eyes and rested h...

Scumbag Chapter 21 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (21)

They have never seen such an arrogant person!

For a moment, the entire set fell dead silent.

In the original timeline, Chen Geng’s movie had indeed flopped, and there were multiple reasons for it.

The costumes were mocked for looking like cheap street-market knockoffs, and the special effects made with huge amounts of money were ridiculed as gaudy and overdone. Chen Geng himself was derided as a ‘talent running dry’.

Now, wearing these costumes firsthand, Mingtin...

"Heh…"

Mingting looked at the System like it was an idiot.

"It is clearly written in the client's contract that this is a privately customized jewelry piece. The client will directly purchase the copyright, and the designer is not allowed to reproduce this design.”

"Shi Yunyun is lazy by nature, and with her wedding coming up, she’d naturally leave trivial registration tasks to the Sahara Prince’s steward. Once the final draft is submitted, the steward can convenient...

Scumbag Chapter 19 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (19)

Thanks to the Spring Goddess, Shi Yunyun had made a name for herself in the design world and built a wide network of connections.

If ‘Ordinary Little Artist’ were truly famous, she would have recognized them.

One point from the netizens' analysis resonated with Shi Yunyun. Judging by the Ordinary Little Artist’s drawing techniques, they didn’t seem formally trained. Their process lacked the rigid structure of academic discipline

But this person had appeared out of no...

Scumbag Chapter 18 The Willing Rich Second-Generation Who Takes on Responsibilities (18)

This time, Sun Ting was completely heartbroken.

She knew that her daughter had lost her mind because of Xiao Yu's sweet talk, so she gritted her teeth and insisted that the 5% shares of Xiao Corporation be put under her name, otherwise, she wouldn’t approve the marriage.

Xiao Yu was afraid that Sun Ting and the Shi Family would cause trouble, so he took the initiative to ask Shi Yunyun to agree to it.

In the end, the 5% shares of Xiao Corporation were given to Sun Ting. It...

‘Hired people to act? And a Middle Eastern theater troupe at that? Those are all battle-hardened professionals...’

The System felt that Mingting was truly shameless.

‘He is probably not a lucky spirit, but a scheming fox spirit with eyes all over its body, right?’

Without his glasses as a shield, all the warmth and kindness in Mingting's eyes vanished, leaving the System unsettled.

"This matter is not over yet! I tell you, I refuse to admit defeat like this!" 2025-06-28 23:46:45 +0000 UTC View Post
