Everything was proceeding smoothly until Jiang Cheng finally remembered that he still had an unused reward card called the "Descendant Devouring Card."
The reason Qiao Yinyin hadn't used it last time was that Jiang Cheng had been drinking that day and got completely carried away afterward, only recalling it when everything was over.
Since Wang Yuyan had secretly used Jiang Cheng as a tool last night to study a lot of knowledge points, the practical application this time was surprisingly effective.
But when Jiang Cheng tried to use the reward card, it unexpectedly failed.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the prompt.
It turned out there was an important prerequisite: the charm had to be over 90 points.
Wang Yuyan's beauty score was 89, just one point short, which Jiang Cheng hadn't expected.
A beauty above 89 points is truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime find.
A woman of Wang Yuyan's caliber only scoring 89 is astonishing.
Seeing the failure, Jiang Cheng could only shake his head regretfully and put the card back away.
After putting it away, Jiang Cheng went back to playing happily... Meanwhile, Wang Qiang was as usual, whisking the Girl he'd hit on by the roadside to a nearby hotel.
Wang Qiang, hugging the scantily‑clad Girl, said to the Front Desk Girl, "Girl, book us a solid Boutique Room."
The front‑desk lady politely replied, "Sure, please wait a moment."
Seeing the sweet‑looking Front Desk Girl, Wang Qiang leered, "Girl, I've been here these past few days; come up and have some fun when you're free."
Before the Front Desk Girl could answer, the POS displayed "Card Declined."
"I'm sorry, sir, this card can't be processed. Please try another one."
Wang Qiang stared at the bank card handed to him, looking bewildered.
"Can't process?? Impossible. Is the machine broken? Try this one." He irritatedly pulled another card from his wallet.
A few seconds later, the Front Desk Girl said, "Sorry, your card limit is insufficient. Do you have another card?"
Hearing that, Wang Qiang realized both cards were being rejected; Wang Wei must have frozen his accounts.
He'd just bought that Lamborghini the day before and now had not a single cent on him.
He could only use a credit card and his dad's Supplementary Card, but neither would go through.
"Damn, that old man is messing with me." After cursing, Wang Qiang scratched his head and told the Girl beside him, "Girl, you pay the room fee first; I'll reimburse you later."
The cool‑dressed Girl's face instantly changed when Wang Qiang asked her to pay.
He's the type who drives a fancy car and pretends to be a Second-generation rich kid; maybe that Lamborghini is just a rental.
He can't even cover the room fee, and after everything he won't get any money back.
With that thought, the woman snapped, "You think you can freeload? If you're broke, stop pretending to be a big shot. Learning what kind of junk car you drive is a waste of my time."
She gave Wang Qiang a cold stare and turned away in disgust.
Seeing Wang Qiang's icy, angry expression, the Front Desk Girl muttered to herself.
"What a piece of trash, daring to hit on me earlier—just a poor guy trying to act cool."
"Sir, would you still like to proceed?"
Watching the Girl walk away, Wang Qiang vented his frustration on the Front Desk Girl.
"What the hell, why are you laughing?"
He snatched his bank card back and left the hotel lobby.
After exiting the hotel, Wang Qiang immediately called Wang Wei.
Wang Wei was sitting in his office, looking exhausted while handling various breach‑of‑contract documents.
Since early morning he'd been dealing with hot searches and countless complaints online.
According to the intel he gathered, the mastermind behind this was indeed the person his own son had offended.
Wang Wei couldn't even uncover any background on Jiang Cheng.
He only knew Jiang Cheng had just opened an investment company with a registered capital of five hundred million.
Everything else about Jiang Cheng was a complete blank.
All of this was thanks to the System.
As soon as the call connected, Wang Qiang shouted, "Dad, what's going on? I can't swipe any money! Did you see how people were mocking me just now? Fix my card right now!"
Seeing Wang Qiang show no sign of remorse, Wang Wei clenched his teeth in fury.
"I'll tell you again: sort out the mess you've caused. Don't always think the world owes you because you're my son. If you don't reflect on this and change your lousy temper, you'll just fend for yourself. This family is already being ruined by you. Believe it or not, I'll make sure you both end up with nothing."
He sneered, hung up the phone, and ended the call.
