Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Su Tang's entry painting was auctioned for a million US dollars, and finally sold for two million US dollars. This price was almost unprecedented for a newcomer. Even the champion of the Yamei Oil Painting Competition didn't fetch this price, and that was a highly respected old artist.

For a time, Su Tang's reputation soared. However, with fame comes negativity. For example, some people questioned whether she was faking it. Her painting skills were indeed high, but she wasn't short of money. Maybe her family deliberately bid up the price of her first auctioned work to increase her value.

Others said that she wasn't Huo Yuan's boss, but his girlfriend, and she didn't want to make it public because she didn't want to be associated with the Huo family's debts.

This statement itself was untenable. Even if she was his girlfriend, as long as they weren't married, she wouldn't have to bear the Huo family's debts. Furthermore, even if they were really married, the debts were all on Huo Yuan's father, and it still had nothing to do with her.

But netizens didn't think so. Some people just couldn't stand seeing others succeed. Now that they finally had a chance, how could they let go of this opportunity to discredit her?

The internet was in an uproar, but for Su Tang, her life was basically the same as before. She lived in a high-end residential area, which ordinary people couldn't enter. The neighbors in the same community were also people of status and wouldn't do anything that would be beneath them. At most, they would take a few more glances at her, or greet her politely, and that was it.

After returning to China, Su Tang went straight back to her small apartment. The Lin family was also behaving, and although they occasionally called, they didn't do anything excessive.

It wasn't until a month later, which was the time period the system said the male lead would make a comeback and return powerfully, that the Lin family finally couldn't hold back.

That day, Su Tang received a call. The person on the other end of the line was still Old Madam Lin, who told her that a friend's son had just returned to City A and asked her to help receive him.

The way she said it, it sounded fishy. They were all adults, did they need someone to receive them?

But she still agreed, because if she didn't, Old Madam Lin would definitely not give up. That kind of endless harassment, and she couldn't kill her, so she might as well feign compliance and pretend to go along with her.

She arranged to meet the person at a restaurant at eleven o'clock, which was the perfect time for lunch.

The other party was Young Master Xi of the Xi family, the youngest of his generation, but the most capable.

When the two met, there was no small talk, just a polite nod.

Su Tang said, "I don't know Mr. Xi's taste. Please order first." After saying that, she handed over the menu.

Xi Yan didn't take it, but said lightly, "Ladies first."

The two looked at each other and saw the words "lack of interest" in each other's eyes. Su Tang raised her eyebrows and didn't stand on ceremony.

She called the waiter and casually ordered a few of her favorite dishes, then handed the menu over.

After ordering, neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere wasn't awkward.

This meal was quite quiet. They were both sensible people and knew that this meeting was the intention of their elders. They couldn't refuse, but there wouldn't be anything further.

After the meal, Xi Yan spoke, "I have someone I like."

Su Tang smiled politely. He had someone he liked but still came to see her, which meant that his family didn't agree. But that had nothing to do with her.

"Then I wish Mr. Xi and that lucky girl all the best."

Her reply was appropriate and generous, which relieved Xi Yan. He really couldn't refuse this meeting, but he was true to his heart. Moreover, there was something he really couldn't understand. Everyone thought the Huo family was finished, but he knew very well that Huo Yuan wouldn't be finished. He was one of the few who knew his identity, and therefore he was quite puzzled by the things online. He could understand hiding his identity, because the Huo family was surrounded by enemies at the time, and exposing himself too early wasn't a good thing. But he couldn't understand the Miss Lin in front of him. If he didn't like her, he wouldn't allow himself to be tied to her. But if he really liked her, how could he tolerate her meeting him, based on what he knew about him?

Xi Yan was lost in thought. After a long time, he asked the question in his heart, "How is Mr. Huo doing lately?"

Su Tang was stunned, seemingly surprised. "Mr. Xi knows Huo Yuan?"

Now it was Xi Yan's turn to be stunned. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. He wasn't clear about their relationship, and if he said the wrong thing, with Huo Yuan's vengeful nature, he didn't want to make an enemy of him at all.

After all, harmony brings wealth.

"I know him. We've worked together before."

He said vaguely. Huo Yuan was the Young Master of the Huo family, so it was normal for him to have business dealings with the Xi family. Su Tang didn't think much about it and said, "He's doing well. He's starting a business recently. By the way, if Mr. Xi encounters him in business, I hope you can give him some consideration."

Xi Yan was shocked. Huo Yuan still needed to start a business? If he started a business, would anyone else have a chance to survive?

Thinking carefully about what Su Tang said, Xi Yan was silent.

He had heard some rumors that Lin Yao and Huo Yuan were at odds, and were known to be mortal enemies. But looking back now, there was nothing wrong with them. With Huo Yuan's personality, it would be too easy for him to kill anyone. A Lin Yao was no match for him at all.

Connecting the two people's current rumors, he completely understood.

Huo Yuan was pretending to be bankrupt to gain sympathy. Although it was quite shameless, Xi Yan felt that he could also learn from it and get his little cutie back.

The two didn't chat much, and they didn't even exchange contact information. They just exchanged some business pleasantries and then stood up together.

However, no one expected that they would run into Huo Yuan outside the private room.

At this moment, Huo Yuan was wearing an expensive suit, aloof and indifferent, unapproachable. The people around him were nodding and bowing, surrounding him, and it was clear that he wasn't a down-and-out young master.

Their eyes met, and Su Tang was dumbfounded.

"Dog, get out here! What about the down-and-out young master you promised?!"

The system had tricked her many times, and now it had learned to act. For example, right now, it was also pretending to be shocked. "Unscientific! That shouldn't be. There's no change in the data here!"

Su Tang: "…Heh."

The system shuddered inexplicably when it heard her sneer. "Wh-what's wrong?"

Su Tang, "I'll settle the score with you later."

She said fiercely, then looked at Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan had already recovered, but when his eyes moved back and forth between her and Xi Yan, his face became terribly gloomy.

He had been expressionless before, but now he was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water.

"Didn't Yao Yao tell me she was sleeping at home?"

The people around the big boss trembled and stepped back half a step, for fear of getting into trouble.

As for Su Tang, she smiled.

Her face was already beautiful. If she wanted to, she could be pure and lovely, or wild and unrestrained. But today, she was dressed elegantly and appropriately, unlike her usual crazy self, as if she had grown up overnight.

A fitted long dress, high heels, and long, wavy hair like a waterfall scattered over her shoulders. She also had delicate light makeup on her face. This was a look he had never seen before.
