As for Father Yu, he was usually too busy with work to be home often. The original Yu Sheng had suffered a lot of grievances, which he was unaware of. As for how he would react if he knew, Yu Sheng wasn’t sure. After all, the book didn’t mention it.

“Come, let me introduce you to some people,” Father Yu spoke at this moment.

The people attending the banquet for Yu Sheng’s return were all familiar with the Yu family’s business connections.

As she walked alongside her father and mother, Yu Sheng seemed to hear Yu Wei quietly ask her mother, “Mom, the Shen family isn’t coming?”

Yu Mother lightly patted Yu Wei’s hand and replied, “The Shen family’s status is still too high. Although we invited them, they said they were too busy to attend.” Yu Mother sighed. Only the Shen family had the audacity to directly refuse them in such a manner. Yet, the Yu family couldn’t say anything and still had to treat them with courtesy.

After hearing this, Yu Wei didn’t say anything more.

The Shen family?

Yu Sheng carefully recalled the events in the book.

In this book, The Devilish Type of Love, there were so many high-quality male supporting characters: the Gu family, the He family, the Shi family—all had suitable male leads. However, from what Yu Mother said, Yu Sheng gleaned one useful piece of information—the Shen family was of high status. But it seemed the Shen family wasn’t mentioned much in the book.

Yu Sheng thought to herself, she had only read half of the book, so it was possible that major characters, like the Shen family, would appear later. Thus, it was normal that she didn’t know much about them yet.

After reading the female supporting character’s tragic ending, Yu Sheng went online to vent.

She wanted to see if anyone shared her opinion that the female supporting character, Yu Sheng, had such a tragic fate. But what irritated her was that the internet was filled with praise for the main heroine. Many comments said the entire book was “so amazing” and “so perfect,” with almost no sympathy for the female supporting character.

Yu Sheng was stubborn and scrolled through the comments again, hoping to see how the plot of the novel developed. To her surprise, the drama escalated dramatically.

As expected in a romance novel, the plot focused heavily on romantic drama.

Yu Wei eventually chose her true love from among the many high-quality male characters, and from then on, the drama became all about love and passion.

Since the book was called The Devilish Type of Love, the male lead was bound to be charming, dangerous, and seductive, much like a devil.

The later comments all praised the male lead: “So handsome,” “Ah, please, God, give me a male lead,” “How can he be so charming,” “Quickly lock him in, the heroine is already yours.”

But Yu Sheng didn’t pay much attention to the male lead’s name.

Sigh, such a cliché novel, she had no interest in finishing it.

Even now that she had transmigrated into the novel, she didn’t regret not reading it to the end.

Since she had entered this world, the original plot no longer mattered.

With a graceful smile, Yu Sheng impressed everyone around her. They had expected the Yu family’s estranged daughter to be unrefined, but to their surprise, she turned out to be a gentle, captivating beauty.

She wore an elegant black evening gown that was not designed by any famous designer but had a unique style that caught the attention of most people in the room.

As for her appearance, it seemed flawless.

Her temperament and speech were equally praiseworthy, leaving no room for criticism.

No wonder she was from the Yu family; even though she had grown up outside, she still carried the elegance unique to the Yu family.

If Yu Sheng could hear their thoughts, she would probably sneer at them.

She kept her smile, until she heard a familiar name.

Gu Yi.

Yu Sheng instinctively glanced in that direction.

Since transmigrating into the novel, what amazed Yu Sheng the most was that everyone in the story was so attractive.

Like this supporting character, Gu Yi, who was probably about 1.8 meters tall, with long legs, and dressed in a silver-gray suit. He exuded a cold and somewhat forbidden aura.

As for Gu Yi’s looks, Yu Sheng glanced at him and had to admit that with his appearance, if he were in her original world, he would have likely been a heartthrob in the entertainment industry, attracting countless fans from his debut.

Becoming a top celebrity would just be a matter of time.

However, Gu Yi, despite his good looks, was still just a supporting character, not even a potential male lead.

Why?

Because in the end, he became Yu Sheng’s husband.

And he truly embodied the concept of being a supporting character with his heart fully belonging to the heroine, always putting her first. Even when the female supporting character, Yu Sheng, was about to give birth, a simple phone call from the heroine could easily summon him, even if there was no real reason for him to go.

Yu Sheng reminisced about the scenes in the book involving Gu Yi and lightly snorted. Her gaze drifted over his face, and then she casually turned to greet the other guests with her parents.

As for Gu Yi, he stared at Yu Sheng for several seconds before shifting his gaze to Yu Wei.

At this banquet, Yu Sheng made sure everyone remembered who she was.

But the guests that night were not particularly impressive.

After all, the Yu family had only risen to prominence in the past decade and could be considered nouveau riche. Truly influential families still looked down on the Yu family.

After greeting a large group of people, Yu Sheng realized that neither the He family nor the Shi family had sent anyone. She had hoped to meet several of the male supporting characters, but the only one present was Gu Yi.

After the banquet, Yu Sheng noticed no one commented on her black evening gown, so she eventually brought it up herself.

After all, the gown had been maliciously damaged, and she felt her father and mother should know about it.

Father Yu paused for a moment, then said, “I know.”

Yu Mother looked at the gown and smiled. “It was probably one of the maids who accidentally ruined it. Some of them are so clumsy. But after the repairs, the gown actually looks better.”

Yu Sheng was momentarily speechless. If any maid was that clumsy, how could she still work in the Yu family? Was the family really going to tolerate such incompetence?

Yu Sheng couldn’t accept this explanation. She felt there was nothing more to say to them. After saying goodnight to her parents, she returned to her room.

Yu Sheng thought that her father and mother probably connected the ruined gown to their obedient daughter, Yu Wei, which was why they were so nonchalant about it. The difference in treatment between her and Yu Wei became apparent.

Her room was lavishly decorated, and the bed was soft and comfortable. After the events of the night, Yu Sheng fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

The next morning, after waking up and taking a shower, Yu Sheng opened the wardrobe. Contrary to the rumored scene of piles of clothes, there was nothing like that. Since there was already a little princess in the family, no one expected her to be the second one. Looking at the clothes in the wardrobe, she casually picked one and put it on. After all, with her beautiful face and model-like figure, anything would look good on her.

At breakfast, Father Yu asked, “Xiaosheng, do you have a driver’s license?”

Yu Sheng shook her head. The original family was so poor, they couldn’t afford to get a license.

Mother Yu suggested, “Then you should go get one soon. It’s easy.”

After finishing his meal, Father Yu wiped his mouth with a white napkin and said, “Since you’re back, we haven’t had time to buy you a car. Xiao Wei has several, so pick one of hers to drive for now.”

Father Yu then turned to Yu Wei. “Weiwei, what do you think?”

Yu Wei lowered her eyes and smiled slightly. “Sure.”

Although Yu Wei had just turned eighteen, there were already more than five sports cars in the garage. They all looked brand new, probably barely driven. Yu Sheng chose a bright red sports car from Yu Wei’s collection.

The car looked incredibly flashy.

There was no sign of dissatisfaction on Yu Wei’s face. Yu Sheng thought maybe this car was compensation for the damaged gown from yesterday. After all, she didn’t remember such a scene in the original plot. But having a car was better than having none.

Yu Sheng spent the day getting familiar with the Yu family. Their activities were diverse—Father Yu was busy with work and socializing, while Mother Yu, a full-time housewife, spent her days with friends, enjoying tea, getting beauty treatments, and shopping.

As for Yu Wei, her activities were even more abundant.

After breakfast, Yu Mother had suggested that Yu Wei take Yu Sheng to meet her friends, but Yu Wei didn’t respond, which was effectively a refusal.

Yu Mother was embarrassed but didn’t want to scold her.

Yu Sheng smiled casually, not taking Yu Wei’s silent refusal to heart.

So after breakfast, only Yu Sheng was left at home.

She was twenty years old, had just finished high school, and would be starting university in the fall. The original Yu Sheng had chosen a literature major, but Yu Sheng decided to switch to a department she liked in her second year.

In the evening, after dinner, Yu Sheng had nothing else to do, so she decided to take the car from Yu Wei and go for a drive.

Shi Ya called out to her anxiously, “Miss, don’t you not have a driver’s license?”

Yu Sheng slightly tilted her head and replied, “Yes, but although I don’t have a driver’s license, I can drive.”

With that, Yu Sheng casually waved the car keys and headed out the door.

As the sports car sped along the winding mountain road, Yu Sheng couldn’t help but feel her spirits soar.

She wasn’t just randomly speeding; she had arrived at the infamous mountain peak from the book, known for its thrilling races.

But it was still early, so at this hour, that group of late-night racers probably hadn’t come out yet. This meant the area was free for her to fly on her own.

Yu Sheng pushed the gas pedal to the floor, and the car roared with intense power.

There was always a rush of adrenaline running through Yu Sheng’s veins. She loved adventure, enjoyed fresh new thrills, especially extreme sports like bungee jumping and skiing. At the same time, she also loved to enjoy life.

In her past life, she earned a lot, but she spent even more, so in the end, there weren’t many savings left.

Thus, she accepted the fact of transmigrating into this book quite quickly.

Yu Sheng continued to think aimlessly while gradually accelerating.

She loved the extreme speed; it felt like the car would burst off the mountain road at any moment. If it were anyone else in the car, their blood would likely race, their blood pressure would rise, but not for Yu Sheng.

Her driving skills were top-notch. While she wasn’t a professional racer, compared to those who casually sped for fun, her skills were far superior.

Yu Sheng didn’t know how many times she had driven around this empty mountain peak. Just as she was thinking of slowing down and leaving this area, which was reserved for people who loved street racing, a silver-white sports car suddenly appeared in the distance, driving aggressively.

Although the world in the book was different from reality in many ways, some things still held true.

For example, that speeding car—it was a Porsche, and Yu Sheng recognized it immediately.

When she saw someone had arrived, a thought of competition slowly began to form in her mind.

Racing alone was boring. It would be much more fun if someone else joined.

With that in mind, she eased off the gas pedal, and her speed gradually decreased.

At this moment, the silver-white car quickly caught up, and the two cars drove side by side. The driver in the silver-white car lowered his window and shouted towards Yu Sheng, “Hey, want to race?”

Yu Sheng smiled. Although she couldn’t hear what he was saying, she could read his lips and guess what he had said.

She slightly lowered the window on the right side of her car, then immediately raised it again, until it was completely closed.

This motion indicated she had heard him.

Then, almost simultaneously, they both floored the gas pedal, and the two top-tier sports cars shot forward like arrows from a bow.

Yu Sheng initially held back a bit. The driver beside her wasn’t very skilled. So, she didn’t feel much urgency; in fact, she felt quite relaxed.

She treated this race as a way to clear her mind.

However, at this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

Yu Sheng glanced at it casually—it was a call from her mother.

She probably wanted to know where she was.

With that thought, she decided to end the race quickly.

Not far ahead was a sharp bend, a spot where most people would slow down. But Yu Sheng accelerated instead, skillfully drifting around the turn.

The driver in the silver-white car couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh my God, this person is crazy!”

Having already made it through the turn, Yu Sheng lowered the left window and extended her hand.

That fair, delicate hand raised a middle finger towards the person behind.

Occasional taunting during a race was part of the fun. After all, in Yu Sheng’s eyes, the driver of the car behind her was just too poor at driving. Not mocking him would be a shame.

She accelerated again, and soon, she left the silver-white sports car far behind, disappearing from the other driver’s sight in just a few seconds.

Only when she had left the designated racing area did Yu Sheng slowly stop the car. By then, the phone had stopped ringing. Just as she was about to return the call, a second call came in.

She answered it.

On the other end of the line, her mother’s gentle voice came through.

“Xiaosheng.”

“Yes, Mom,” Yu Sheng responded without hesitation. Calling her mom was as easy as breathing to her.

“Ah, where are you now?” Her mother’s voice carried a hint of pleasant surprise when she heard Yu Sheng call her “Mom.”

“I’m out for a drive.”

“Alright, remember to be careful. I’ve brought you some sweets, come back and try them.”

“Okay, I’ll be back soon.”

After finishing the conversation, the call ended. Yu Sheng looked at the time and realized it was already 10 PM.

Although this time was just starting her night in her past life, Yu Sheng didn’t know anyone here now. Wandering alone outside wasn’t fun, so she decided to head back.

At this moment, the driver in the silver-white car had a red face. He stopped the car and pointed toward the direction Yu Sheng had disappeared, unable to help but shout, “Did you see that?! The middle finger at the end! That was a direct, blatant insult to me!”

“Hahaha,” laughed Shi Nan and Zhang Chongle in the car, unable to hold back. Shi Nan couldn’t stop teasing, “Xiaosan, didn’t expect you to be on the receiving end of a middle finger.”

“Damn, who knew I’d run into such a tough opponent!” The person known as Xiaosan was still recovering from the shock. He realized he had just faced a skilled driver, and the gap in their abilities was huge. But usually, he was the one giving the middle finger to others, so when did anyone dare to give him one?

The more Xiaosan thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn’t help but glance at a man in the backseat, “Yue Ge, if I had known, I would have let you drive! If you had driven, would that person have been so arrogant?”
