After her mother gave her this “popular science,” the question is—are you scared yet?
Xu Nannan only wanted to “have fun,” but she didn’t want to be infected by men with anything, so all of her previous boyfriends were proper, serious relationships. She never messed around outside.
Even if a man looked clean and well-dressed, as long as his lifestyle was messy, had no picky habits, and accepted everything thrown at him, he might be carrying something like that.
Hua Yirou’s suggestion actually gave Xu Nannan a very good reference.
After returning home, Xu Nannan seriously shared it with her mother.
“Mom, what do you think about this?”
“This idea is good, but…” Ruan Yaoyao looked at the newly reappeared label above her daughter’s head and said softly, “Are you sure your judgment won’t go wrong?”
【I’ve only heard of scam loans before. This is the first time I’ve heard of ‘scam pregnancy’.】
【What even is a ‘scam pregnancy’?】
Xu Nannan had a question mark face: ??????
Mom, don’t scare me—what did you see above my head again?!
“My judgment… is that bad?” Xu Nannan asked cautiously.
“It really isn’t very good. And your classmate’s judgment isn’t great either.”
【Otherwise, she wouldn’t have introduced such a person to you.】
【If I didn’t know she didn’t mean to harm you, I’d almost think she was working with someone to set you up.】
Xu Nannan felt a little scared and relieved. Luckily she came back to ask her mother, or she really might have been tricked by Hua Yirou.
Sure enough, she was a “careless” person. It was better to communicate more with family when something happened.
Without hesitation, Xu Nannan told Liao Jingna about it, then invited Hua Yirou to her home. She wanted her mother to confirm again whether Hua Yirou was really innocent—or if she actually had bad intentions.
If it was the latter…
“If it’s the latter, I’ll deal with her!” Liao Jingna said angrily as soon as she heard this, insisting she would come in person that day.
She couldn’t let her best friend be bullied for nothing!
“Oh my god! You’re Nannan’s mother?!” When Hua Yirou saw Ruan Yaoyao, she was shocked. “Auntie, you’re so young! If Nannan hadn’t told me, I would’ve thought you were her older sister. Auntie, how do you take care of yourself? You must teach me—I want to be as young as you in the future!”
Ruan Yaoyao could tell Hua Yirou wasn’t flattering her; she genuinely thought so.
After all, her youthful appearance had already been verified by many people.
Normally, she should have been happy—but seeing the bright label above Hua Yirou’s head, she couldn’t feel happy at all.
Because Hua Yirou’s label wasn’t anything else—it was the female protagonist of “Entanglement”, meaning the person her daughter brought home was actually the heroine of another book.
【Tragic romance + scam pregnancy.】
【This “scam”…】
【Would stories like this really not drive people insane?】
【Has the heavens gone crazy?】
Xu Nannan, Liao Jingna, and the others waiting for confirmation from Ruan Yaoyao: “……”
They also wanted to know—has the heavens gone crazy?
As for tragic romance novels, they had already done plenty of “research” online. Could something like that really exist in real life?
Yu Xiangqiao and Ruan Zhihua: “……”
After what happened with the Sima family, nothing could shock them anymore!
Let it be tragic romance then—but what exactly is “scam pregnancy”?
And Hua Yirou, who could hear these thoughts, was full of question marks: ??????
What is this?
Why do I feel like… I’m hallucinating?
That voice sounds a bit like Auntie’s voice!
Ruan Yaoyao invited her to sit down and served tea, casually chatting with her.
With everyone cooperating, she quickly got away and had time to check Hua Yirou’s “detail page.”
And after looking at it, she was almost speechless:
【What “scam pregnancy”? Isn’t this just a typical scheming gold-digger?】
【It means some men don’t want to work hard themselves, so they try to find a rich woman to support them.】
【They gather information about wealthy women, pick the easiest targets, and then use various methods to get close to them.】
【They build a perfect persona—usually “good character,” “good looks,” “gentle and considerate,” “respectful toward women”… in short, whatever you want, they have it.】
【They try every possible way to sleep with women and get them pregnant, then use the child to climb into marriage. After marriage, they slowly reveal their true nature, and by then the woman will find it very hard to escape…】
Hua Yirou looked several times at Ruan Yaoyao’s mouth. She was certain that when she heard those voices, she did not see her lips move.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the room was chatting normally, as if they couldn’t hear anything at all—completely unrelated conversations.
So… was she really hallucinating?
She was only in her twenties, that shouldn’t be happening, right?
She just wanted to “have a child by using a seed donor.” She never planned to abandon Hua Mingjie after the child was born. She was serious—if he didn’t cross her boundaries, she could even spend her life with him and let the child support him in old age.
Except the child wouldn’t take his surname. But he would have a driver, a maid at home, and never worry about food or clothes—how happy would that be?
Just as she thought this, she heard that voice continue:
【Hua Mingjie thinks exactly the same way.】
【He is actually a very scheming person. He knows his parents are ordinary office workers and cannot satisfy his growing material desires, so he plans to find a rich woman to support him.】
【However, unlike other men who don’t think long-term, Hua Mingjie has a clearer goal. His target is to become a “phoenix man.”】
【Yes, exactly—the so-called man who rises by marrying into wealth and succeeds through a rich woman.】
【He analyzed all kinds of strategies and found that “scam pregnancy” was the most suitable for him.】
【1. He doesn’t have strong work ability and doesn’t want to suffer through working.】
【2. He has already graduated, missed the chance to find a rich woman in school, so he can only target wealthy “second-generation playboys.”】
【His family is ordinary; he cannot compete with families that value equal status. He also doesn’t want to create conflict right away. He wants a family that will welcome him and let him enter smoothly.】
【At this time, Hua Mingjie met Hua Yirou—a rich young lady who looked gentle, had a good family background, and was easy to approach. After a little inquiry, he learned that Hua Yirou had no intention of a business marriage; her family spoiled her so much that even if she married a poor man, they would accept it.】
【Hua Mingjie was very satisfied. Wasn’t he exactly that “poor man”? A poor man who was good-looking, educated, and willing to be a live-in son-in-law.】
【Hua Mingjie tidied himself up and confessed to Hua Yirou.】
Hua Yirou: “……”
She didn’t want to struggle, yes—but after listening for so long, she still didn’t see what the problem with Hua Mingjie was.
Was the issue simply that his ambition was to be a “phoenix man,” and his methods were a bit shady?
As long as he didn’t harm others or cross boundaries, using some methods to achieve goals wasn’t necessarily wrong.
【Hua Yirou wasn’t easy to pursue. As a “test,” she kept him hanging, neither agreeing nor refusing.】
【Hua Mingjie knew that no rejection meant opportunity, so he increased his efforts—learning her preferences, sending flowers, umbrellas, singing love songs, being completely obedient, endlessly accommodating…】
【Occasionally, he would show a bit of temper, just enough to make her realize she couldn’t push him too far—men also have pride.】
【In this back-and-forth, testing each other, after three months of adjustment, Hua Yirou finally softened and accepted his pursuit.】
【After agreeing, when Hua Mingjie requested typical couple intimacy, Hua Yirou did not refuse, and things naturally progressed.】
【Of course, this so-called “naturally” was only her illusion, because he had been scheming and planning this moment all along.】
