Chapter 11: Juice, Lies, and Toilet Cries
So yes, I got back to the Dong Mansion, ready to spy—I mean, check in—on our lovebirds. And guess what? They were done doing whatever I left them doing (don't make me spell it out). Fresh clothes, cuddled on the couch, watching a movie on Jinye's laptop. Romantic, right? Yin was already asleep on his chest, drooling softly like a kitten. Ugh. Disgustingly adorable.
And just when I was about to enjoy the peace—HOOONK! That annoying horn blasted like a warning siren from hell. I dashed outside and—yup, you guessed it—the bitch herself showed up. Xou Gu. Strutting out of her car in designer heels, flipping her hair like she was the first lady of drama.
She sauntered to the door like she owned the place. "Excuse me??" I hissed under my invisible breath. The guards, bless their hearts, greeted her like she was royalty. She gave a half-baked nod and walked in without knocking.
Jinye looked up, already annoyed. "I thought we talked about you barging in like this."
She batted her lashes. "Oh sweetheart, can't I just come see you?"
But the moment her eyes landed on Yin—lying peacefully on his chest—her whole face soured like bad yogurt.
"This slut again?" she spat. "You're still with her after a one-night stand?"
Jinye didn't flinch. "I love her. That's the truth. And she's not a slut—she was a virgin when I… took responsibility. Unlike you, who throws herself at anything with a pulse." He kissed Yin's head for emphasis.
My petty little soul screamed with joy.
"But Ah Jin, I love you," she sniffled, stepping closer, but keeping her distance (probably because Yin was RIGHT THERE like a queen).
Yin stirred, blinked at the sight of Xou Gu, and immediately clung to her man. "Husband… who is she?"
Yesss! Cue the drama.
"She's… Xou Gu. My sister," Jinye said flatly.
Record scratch. Wait. What?!
"Sister?!" Yin gasped, eyes narrowing.
"Not biologically," Xou Gu interrupted. "I was adopted by his family. But I couldn't help falling for him." She sniffled again, wiping a very suspicious tear.
"Oh, save the Netflix audition," came a voice from the door.
IT WAS SHAO. Oh baby. Buckle up. Trouble just walked in wearing heels and a full beat.
"What are you doing here, mutt?" Xou Gu hissed.
Shao smiled like she was about to eat her. "Says the pedigree poodle."
Jinye, already exhausted, pulled Yin closer like a teddy bear and said nothing.
Yin, bless her devilish heart, smiled sweetly. "Why don't you two have a seat? I'll get some juice."
Uh-oh. I followed her to the kitchen like the loyal gossip ghost I am. She poured two glasses. One of them she eyed suspiciously… then pulled out a tiny bottle.
"Not poison," she muttered. "Just a little tummy twist magic."
She giggled.
Back in the living room, the tension could cut glass. Jinye had wisely taken a seat at the bar, pretending to read nonexistent emails.
Yin handed the juice out, placing the special one at Xou Gu's seat.
Then she leaned in toward Shao. "You know," she whispered like a snake with a Chanel bag, "as long as Xou Gu's in the picture, you've got no chance with Ah Jin. But you? You're prettier. Smarter. She's old news. He needs someone fresh."
Shao's eyes glimmered like someone just handed her a crown.
"I mean," Yin continued, "you've saved yourself for him. Meanwhile, she's… gifted herself to the entire neighborhood."
By the time Yin walked away, Shao was fired UP.
Xou Gu returned from the bathroom, sat, and downed her juice in one gulp.
One Mississippi. Two Mississippi…
"YOU BITCH!" Xou Gu shouted, clutching her stomach.
"You ugly hag!" Shao shot back immediately. "What did I ever do to you?"
"What was in my drink?! You poisoned me!"
Yin blinked innocently. "You were drinking juice. Maybe your body's just allergic to not being the center of attention."
And then… it happened.
Puuuuuut!
A fart. A loud, unapologetic one.
Xou Gu screamed and bolted for the toilet, knocking over a chair in the process.
"Did YOU do that?" Yin asked Shao, all wide-eyed and gasping.
Shao, basking in fake glory, lifted her chin. "Of course. That was all me."
"Oh wow, I didn't even notice you slip something in," Yin said.
Shao grinned proudly. "Discretion is an art, sweetie."
Meanwhile, I was choking in laughter. Literally rolling on the invisible floor.
"I'll go check on her," Shao said, sauntering after her victim.
The moment she left, Yin and I broke. We laughed like the wicked little gremlins we are.

Good night, my chaos-loving readers. See you in the next scandal!
