Qin Zhenyun set off from the base at 4 in the morning. Normal working hours at the hospital are 8:30 in the morning, so his departure at this time seems somewhat inhuman. However, he is an SVIP customer at the hospital. After injuring his chin, he made an appointment with his attending doctor. He delayed his departure until now to avoid the rush hour and silently return his face to its original state.

As the saying goes, people fear fame just as pigs fear fattening. In the past, Qin Zhenyun could easily change his face and identity to lead a carefree life. But ever since he appeared on the show, with the exposure that came along, and the increase in his popularity, his face was no longer inconspicuous. Normally, it wasn’t much of a concern, and he enjoyed being recognized by fans. He always enjoyed the feeling of being adored by others. But the current situation was different, and he wished he could wrap himself in layers like a cocoon!

Thinking of the main culprit, Qin Zhenyun felt an itching hatred. Patellar reflex? Forget about patellar reflex! Whose patellar reflex is on their foot?? He knew that Yan Yue might be a bit difficult to handle, but he never expected her to be this difficult! Dealing with her difficulty would have been fine, but now she had made him reveal his face in public! Nothing should touch his face!

And how many hours had passed? If she truly felt guilty, she would have already come to apologize. She didn’t even bother with superficial gestures. What a despicable woman!

He had never faced defeat before when it came to women. Qin Zhenyun, who always toyed with women, was experiencing the taste of failure for the first time. This taste was unpleasant. Qin Zhenyun was a perfectionist, and he would not allow any accidents to mar his perfect record. If an accident did happen, he would find a way to turn it into another kind of “perfection.” For example, if the accident disappeared, then there would be no accident, right?

Frustration accumulated in his heart. Qin Zhenyun curled his lips, a touch of cruelty crossing his sinister eyes. At this moment, he was enveloped in an aura of gloom. He was no longer the gentle and understanding Qin Teacher from the camera lens.

But—

No matter how he calculated, he didn’t anticipate that the hospital would be so crowded at 4 in the morning!

The large plastic surgery hospital was brightly lit. In the lobby, groups of three or pairs of two stood in line, men and women among them, waiting to register.

As soon as he stepped into the hospital, Qin Zhenyun was recognized from behind: “???”

Qin Zhenyun was dumbfounded! Did he read the time wrong? Did he come to the wrong hospital? At 4 in the morning, this plastic surgery hospital was as bustling as a vegetable market. Was this reasonable? Was it reasonable!! People were queuing up for cosmetic procedures at this time, not getting any sleep. Was this reasonable?

Looking at the photos displayed on their brains, they were all replicas of Yan Yue’s domineering son-in-law?

Even a man, looking at his companion in shock, asked, “Why are you here too?”

Companion: “You secretly turned into Han Cheng behind my back, and you won’t allow me to secretly become Han Daqiang?”

Man: “What the heck! You want to turn into Han Daqiang?!”

Companion: “Yeah, didn’t you say it, bro? You’ll always be my son, and I’ll always be your dad.”

Man: “…………”

Qin Zhenyun: “…………?”

So, all of you are here at this hour just to change your faces to look like these replicas?

Qin Zhenyun felt like they had all gone mad! Yan Yue again! It’s Yan Yue everywhere!! He was determined to ruin this despicable woman!

Seeing that the people who recognized him seemed not to be paying attention to him, Qin Zhenyun temporarily swallowed his frustration and dashed toward the elevator, as if he were being pursued by some kind of flood.

He was glad that he had concealed himself well. At least, people couldn’t see his damaged face. As for if someone were to expose his visit to the plastic surgery hospital online, he could come up with a few excuses to cover it up. Luckily, they didn’t capture his face on camera. Luckily…

However, soon Qin Zhenyun’s smile faded…

After Qin Zhenyun completed the surgery and once again regained his strikingly handsome face, before he could even take a look at himself in the mirror, his manager called him. Without waiting for him to ask what was going on, the manager burst out like a firework, his voice thunderous: “Brother, something’s not right! Check the hot searches! The news about your plastic surgery has been leaked!”

In an instant, Qin Zhenyun’s face turned ashen…

At 1:00 PM, in the resting room of Wu Hua.

After receiving a few links shared by Wu Hua, Yan Yue wasted no time in opening the first trending post.

The post was by a user who had written: “If the events of ‘Dominant Son-in-Law Falls in Love with Me’ were truly happening in real life, there’s only one thing I want to know right now—does the plastic surgery hospital from the movie actually exist? If such an amazing hospital does exist, I recommend Qin Zhenyun should go there for a visit. We’re really suffering, just look at this chin! I want to ask the attending doctor, what on earth are you eating? You’ve ruined our chins with your disastrous work, wuwuwu, compensate me for my ruined chin!”

The text itself wasn’t the highlight; what mattered was that the user had shared a video!

As Yan Yue started watching the video, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Yan Yue felt that laughing so hard was a bit unvirtuous, so she quickly exclaimed “666” to balance her laughter karma, creating a “mu-yu” sound in her mind to compensate for her amusement.

However…

She couldn’t help it, really!

“Haha!” Yan Yue burst into laughter, and she couldn’t help but think who the genius behind this video was. The angle was just too clever. It perfectly captured the entire process of Qin Zhenyun being kicked and flying in the air. Not only that, but it even slowed down the moment when Qin Zhenyun’s chin got kicked and added dramatic background music. The video quality was also crystal clear, 720k pure enjoyment. It was so high-definition that you could even see the face powder on Qin Zhenyun’s face when zoomed in.

She didn’t want to laugh, but the user who posted this was just too ruthless. She really couldn’t blame herself for laughing, hahaha.

But when she laughed, Wu Hua couldn’t hold back either. When Wu Hua started laughing, An Xiaoyu joined in, and soon the whole resting room echoed with the sound of laughter, like a chorus of geese.

“I’m truly impressed. How could this be so funny? Every time I watch it, I burst into laughter. It’s too ruthless!” Wu Hua laughed until her stomach hurt. She took a moment to reach over and pause the video, scrolling down to the comments section. “And the comments are even more ruthless.”

While Wu Hua was sharing her joy with Yan Yue, Yan Yue was busy looking at the comments section. Not reading the comments would be fine, but once she started reading them, she realized that the comments were even more entertaining than the video itself:

“Damn! Why is someone flipping the bird with their chin? I need to call the cops!”

“Damn, someone flipped the bird with their chin, I’m laughing my head off!”

“I’ve been replaying the video, so now I’m being flipped off by the Middle Finger Brother repeatedly. Middle Finger Brother, how are you going to repay the karma you owe me?”

“Hahaha, what the heck is going on? Middle Finger Brother? Brother, you’ve really outdone yourself!”

“Just now, I saw Middle Finger Brother’s fans in the neighboring thread babbling about how Yan Yue was riding Middle Finger Brother’s popularity and sucking his blood. They were really organized, even compiling a timeline. But hey, isn’t it Middle Finger Brother who’s throwing himself at Yan Yue? Besides, Yan Yue isn’t even interested. Just ask his fans, does their face hurt or not?”

“After experiencing workplace harassment, watching this video made me feel so relieved! I hope fans can wake up a bit. Just because someone looks good doesn’t mean you can flirt with them. Any behavior that disturbs the parties involved and causes them serious distress is sexual harassment, thank you! Moreover, let’s be honest, does anyone really think Qin Zhenyun looks handsome? Haven’t they noticed how sharp his chin is? In the video, he suddenly leaned over to Yan Yue, and I was worried he’d cut her with his chin…”

The comments were really ruthless, constantly referring to Middle Finger Brother. Qin Zhenyun’s name had turned into a substitute for “Middle Finger Brother.”

After reading a few comments, Yan Yue had a rough idea of what had happened. She clicked on another link Wu Hua had sent her, and as expected, the situation was just as she had guessed.

Last night’s scene at the restaurant had been captured by Qin Zhenyun’s fans. Feeling indignant, they had posted a thread criticizing Yan Yue for riding on Middle Finger Brother’s popularity and “sucking his blood.” However, things took an unexpected turn this morning. Yan Yue successfully advanced in the competition, and then Xiao You released an apology video. Following that, the You family’s affairs were exposed, leading to a surge in the popularity of Yan Yue’s videos and name. “Dominant Son-in-Law” was hailed as a masterpiece, and with a series of gossips unfolding, the momentum kept building up. The critical thread created by the fans quickly sank to the bottom, without even a single ripple.

Seeing this reversal of the situation, this particular fan had changed tactics, giving Middle Finger Brother credit for Yan Yue’s advancement.

In essence, the argument was that if it weren’t for Middle Finger Brother’s help during the competition, his immediate promotion of her work, and the collective effort of Middle Finger Brother’s fans voting, would Yan Yue have been able to advance? What’s more, look at how kind and friendly Middle Finger Brother is. Even after the competition ended, he treated Yan Yue to a hotpot meal to help her relax. Do you know how difficult it is to get a reservation at that restaurant? Middle Finger Brother treats Yan Yue so well, all because he’s an incredibly good person. Yan Yue, don’t be ungrateful. You should kneel down and thank Middle Finger Brother with three kowtows and nine prostrations!

This fan’s condescending attitude in the post garnered agreement from other fans of Middle Finger Brother.

Yan Yue didn’t know if Middle Finger Brother’s fans had really worked together to vote for him, but at least in this thread, the fans were collectively accusing her of clinging to Middle Finger Brother’s popularity and helping herself to his hotpot.

The frenzy reached a level comparable to a certain world and a certain individual from before:
