"Wow! This piece of land finally has some life in it! System, it actually grew grass! Wait, tomorrow it won't be covered in grass everywhere, will it?"
"Heh, don't worry about it, Host! The Versatile Land was always meant to be the most vibrant place. You still have a long way to go, and much to achieve!"
"Got it, got it!"
The change in the Versatile Land greatly pleased Shang Yunyan. His mood, which had been down because of the trouble caused by Yan Yongqing, was instantly lifted!
"Let's go! Yuruo, Lao Zheng, let's go shopping! Time to buy some things!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
At the World Trade Center in the Imperial Capital, the three of them were having a great time shopping. Shang Yunyan not only bought many personal items for himself, including clothes, pants, belts, and bags, but also bought many things for his parents in preparation for bringing them over to stay for a few days in the near future.
They kept shopping until evening, and after finishing dinner at the mall's restaurant, they were about to leave when Shang Yunyan suddenly spotted Yan Yongqing from a distance. She was standing next to an elderly man, whose age seemed to be around her father's, leaning on him and softly whispering something.
"Yuruo, take a picture of that man for me and find out who he is! I suspect that all the gossip and rumors about me were spread by this man after he listened to Yan Yongqing's nonsense!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Young Master, would you like me to help?" Lao Zheng suddenly asked.
"You? Help? What can you do?" Shang Yunyan didn't understand. Lao Zheng was no spring chicken. Why would someone his age want to get involved in such matters?
"Yuruo, have you taken the photo?" the driver, Lao Zheng, asked.
"Yes, I've taken both photos and videos! Lao Zheng, what are you planning to do?"
Lao Zheng, knowing the situation between Yan Yongqing and the Young Master, wasn't particularly fond of Yan Yongqing. After hearing Yuruo's question, he smiled and then put on his suit jacket. He walked around the mall and approached Yan Yongqing and the elderly man from the opposite side.
"Yan Yongqing! You shameless woman! So, you didn't answer my calls because you've hooked up with a new rich man!"
Shang Yunyan was stunned when he heard Lao Zheng's angry shout from a distance. Lao Zheng was truly bold!
"Who... Who are you? How do you know my name? Who are you!" Yan Yongqing shouted in surprise.
"You filthy woman! Don't you recognize me? I'm the one you spent over five million on, and now you don't even remember me?" Lao Zheng growled, raising his hand as if to slap Yan Yongqing. However, the elderly man next to her immediately stepped in to stop him, though Lao Zheng didn't actually intend to strike her.
Lao Zheng glared at the man beside Yan Yongqing and said, "Brother, I don't know what you do, but this woman isn't worth your time. She's not a good person. When she was with me, she was jumping from one man to the next. You'd better open your eyes and realize you might be just another one of her lovers!"
"Stop talking nonsense! I don't know you!" Yan Yongqing shouted, her eyes wide in disbelief.
"Shameless woman! Don't let me catch you again!" Lao Zheng said as he turned and walked away.
Yan Yongqing was left in utter confusion, wondering how her life had taken such a turn. Why would an old man claim she had spent five million on him?
"Yongqing! Heh, when you were with me, you swore that your man had abandoned you and deceived you, and I believed you! But now look at the situation!" The elderly man beside her, Liang Sheng, mocked her.
"Liang Sheng! Please believe me! I don't know that man! I really don't!" Yan Yongqing's voice trembled with desperation.
"You don't know him? He walked right up to you and called your name. And now you say you don't know him?" Liang Sheng scoffed.
"I don't know what's going on! I really don't know him!" Yan Yongqing screamed in frustration.
The loud argument between Lao Zheng and Yan Yongqing had attracted a crowd of onlookers, and many started to gossip and point fingers at her.
"Shut up! What's it to you? A bunch of gossipers!" Yan Yongqing yelled at the crowd angrily.
Liang Sheng, feeling embarrassed, no longer wanted to stay and immediately turned to leave.
"Wait for me, honey! Wait for me!" Yan Yongqing called out, but Shang Yunyan, who was watching from a distance, felt a surge of disgust. This woman had been with him for three years and had never once called him "honey" or "darling." She had never truly respected him and had always looked down on him. The moment she encountered someone wealthier, she kicked him to the curb, slandering him along the way. Now, she was spreading rumors about him.
Shang Yunyan watched her retreating figure, a cold sneer forming on his lips. Though there was still some disappointment and anger, it was fading. Once all that remained was indifference, he would deal with Yan Yongqing thoroughly.
"What are you recording? Oh my god, Yuruo, did you record that part with Lao Zheng?" Shang Yunyan suddenly realized that his butler had been holding up his phone.
"Don't worry, Young Master. I didn't record Lao Zheng's face, just the part where he loudly mentioned Yan Yongqing and how she spent someone else's money. I also got her face on video. Young Master, as the saying goes, 'an eye for an eye.' Whenever you're ready for revenge, we have plenty of material! No worries!" Yuruo replied with a smile.
