Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy

Chapter 163

When Si Chengyou heard Shen Yue's words, he laughed softly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, as if he was lamenting Shen Yue's naivety.

"Shen Yue, if you want to possess a prey, besides grasping his weaknesses, utilizing emotions and transactions, there is another way, which is to force him to an impasse, leaving him with no choice but to choose you. When there are no other options, that is the most reassuring way."

Upon hearing Si Chengyou's words, Danni La's expression changed, as if she had finally understood Si Chengyou's intentions. She asked incredulously, "You aren't trying to plot against Shen Yue?"

Si Chengyou said gently, "Yes I plotted, but it was to make her win."

Danni La's face became even stranger. "You allowed me to leak Shen Yue's cards to L·A so Shen Yue would win?"

What kind of logic was this? Danni La had never heard such logic before.

Si Chengyou paid no heed to Danni La, and continued lecturing Shen Yue, "People often relax their vigilance when they think they have already grasped victory firmly. Just that moment of carelessness is enough to turn the tables."

Finally Shen Yue understood "Ah, so that's what it is. Thank you, Si Chengyou."

Si Chengyou: ... Is that your only reaction?

"You're welcome." After a pause, Si Chengyou added, "You can let L·A teach you the art of language."

Shen Yue nodded. "Alright."

As Danni La watched everyone get along harmoniously, no one had any emotional response due to her misfortune. It was only then that she finally understood, her appearance only brought disaster here and no convenience at all.

She didn't have the strength to protect this appearance, yet she was too arrogant.

This was what she deserved.

When things had reached this point, besides becoming a plaything, it seemed that she had no other choice.

But just as Danni La had fallen into despair, she heard Shen Yue calling her. "Danni La, let's go eat lunch now."

Danni La heard Shen Yue address her in a perfectly normal tone, and she looked up in surprise.

What was the meaning of this?

Noticing Danni La was still not moving, Shen Yue understood what she was thinking and said, "Don't worry about what Si Chengyou said just now, I will protect you, and also protect your younger siblings, as long as you betray me no more."

Upon hearing these words, Si Chengyou didn't say anything, but the corners of his eyes and mouth did relax somewhat.

She learns fast.

At that moment, with just one casual sentence, Danni La latched onto Shen Yue as if grasping at a lifeline, and quickly agreed, "Of course, I will absolutely never do that again."

The desperate expression on Danni La's face made her seem like a different person compared to yesterday and the previous morning.

So that's what a person being forced into a dead end looks like.

Shen Yue nodded, pulled up Danni La, and went with everyone to the cafeteria.

Shen Yue also understood, that when Danni La said she would no longer betray, what she meant was that she was unable to betray again.

Danni La no longer had any options left. If her only path out of the desperate situation was to rely on one person, then Shen Yue was the best choice.

Just as Si Chengyou had said, by forcing a person to the point that they only had one choice, they will grasp tightly onto that final option and have no possibility left for betrayal.

But Shen Yue still had one question, was Si Chengyou helping her to set up Danni La?

Shen Yue originally intended to ask directly, but upon remembering Si Chengyou's complicated expressions every time she straightforwardly spoke her mind, this time she changed her approach. "You broke your word. You did not adhere to your deal with Danni La."

Shen Yue's words seemed accusatory, reminding Si Chengyou of the deal between him and Shen Yue.

He had no embarrassment or worry that Shen Yue would become suspicious of him because of this matter, but still gave Shen Yue an explanation. "So-called deals are the exchange of equal benefits from each side. If the benefits offered by one side are much smaller than the other, then it is not a deal but a lesson."

Shen Yue nodded vigorously, while also reminding Danni La, "Danni La, this is your lesson, listen to what he is saying."

Danni La, who was huddled next to Shen Yue, did not really want to listen to Si Chengyou.

Yet Shen Yue had obtained the answer she wanted.

The few of them went to the cafeteria to eat as if nothing had happened, getting along harmoniously.

Having learned the news, a little brother came running to report to L·A, who shouted "How thrilling!" as he listened.

He knew Danni La was the woman that guy on the 35th floor had wanted recently. Initially he thought Danni La leaking Shen Yue's cards to him was to get on his good side, after all who didn't know that the only one who could remotely control that brat on the 35th floor these days was him, the great L·A. But later he realized that the method Danni La used to pass information resembled those previously used by Si Chengyou, so he began to suspect that Danni La was actually working for Si Chengyou.

When Shen Yue had kept losing and the stakes she bet kept increasing, L·A was basically certain that Danni La was doing work for Si Chengyou, but he didn't know the purpose, only roughly guessing that Si Chengyou probably wanted Shen Yue to lose everything she owned.

After all, people deep in debt are easier to control!

Unexpectedly he had guessed wrong.

As expected he wasn't a match for that sly old fox Si Chengyou.

On the surface Si Chengyou was setting up Shen Yue, but in actuality he had used Danni La to mislead L·A, while also destroying Danni La's state of mind, causing her world to collapse once she realized she had been discarded, leaving her with no choice but to submit to Shen Yue.

"This Shen Yue has something worth looking into, with Guard No.14 even giving up his job as prison guard to come find him, and Si Chengyou is also helping her. I need to buy up some information on Shen Yue." L·A loudly muttered to himself as he sat in his new chair.

Hearing L·A's words, a little brother at his side softly reminded, "Boss, after a few guys from Building No.3 came in last time, they were reluctant to return to Building No.3 for information gathering, so now Building No.3 is short on people and the price of information has risen."

L·A cast him an annoyed glance. "Bring me the price list, how high can it be? Who am I, the famous L·A! As if I lack that bit of money? Holy shit! Why aren't they just robbing people!"

The little brother said awkwardly, "Uh, the person in power at Building No.3 said if we casually let inmates from Building No.3 gamble again, he will refuse to sell information about Building No.8."

L·A scratched his head in irritation. "Damn it! Last time I already told that brat not to be greedy for Building No.3's measly earnings, yet he refused to listen! How annoying!"

Seeing L·A's anger, the little brother still couldn't resist worriedly asking, "Boss, will I get in trouble if Si Chengyou finds out I was eavesdropping today?"

But hearing this, L·A felt no worry. "Relax, since Si Chengyou allowed you to overhear, he deliberately got you to relay the information to me with your mouth. He won't cause you trouble."

"The boss is wise!"

"Of course, don't you see who I am!"

"You are L·A!"

"Bullshit! Obviously I know I'm L·A. I asked you to say it! So annoying!"
