Madame's Wild Laughter The Truth Dawns on Us, an Eye-Opening Revelation — Head of the House, We've Been Deceived

The hospital, the back mountain, by the flowerbed.

"Meow~"

A two- or three-month-old tabby kitten wagged its tail, sitting quietly on the flowerbed, accepting the food offered by the eldest miss in front of it.

The classic sausage microphone interview session.

Shen Qinghan held a sausage she had just bought from the nearby supermarket, feeding the meowing kitten in the flowerbed. A short-haired woman stood beside her, carrying milk and bread.

These were all meant for feeding.

Strictly speaking, there shouldn't be stray cats in the school. The school was full of wealthy young masters and young ladies who didn't lack money.

Even the school staff wouldn't lack that bit of money; if they saw a stray cat, they would just adopt it outright.

This one right now was probably raised by a doctor in the hospital. It had absolutely none of a stray cat's wariness toward strangers and would come right up to people. It was just a pity that the eldest miss was a germaphobe.

She didn't like other things touching her. No matter how cute the tabby kitten in front of her was, the distance between human and cat remained strictly bounded.

If the kitten took a step forward, the eldest miss would take a step back. They maintained a very stable distance, not an inch more, not an inch less. Finally, the short-haired woman returned with the things, and the eldest miss began to feed it.

"Meow..."

After a few tentative tries, the tabby kitten seemed to realize that the eldest miss didn't like being approached too closely, so it stopped inching forward and quietly accepted the food.

In short... the sausage interview session.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Qinghan hadn't gone very far, just lingering around the vicinity.

"Meow."

A huge orange cat squeezed out from the flowerbed and took a bite right out of the sausage in the eldest miss's hand.

The short-haired woman: "???"

"Young Miss..."

The short-haired woman jumped in fright and hurriedly lifted her things to shoo away the orange cat. Before she could finish her sentence, she saw her Young Miss punch the orange cat right on the head, instantly turning it into a squished meme.

The orange cat closed its eyes and kicked its legs out. Its life was pretty much straightened out!

The short-haired woman: "..."

Shen Qinghan didn't even turn her head, continuing to feed the little tabby kitten in front of her. The consequence of snatching her things was getting punched into a meme!

Shen Qinghan was never someone overflowing with sympathy. It was no exaggeration to say that even if a terminally ill person were begging by the roadside, pleading for her to show mercy and save them, she wouldn't even spare them a glance.

She was so cold that it bordered on heartless, but of course, there was no need for her to be otherwise.

There were so many people in the world; she couldn't possibly save them all. Moreover, it had nothing to do with her. Everyone has their own fate with life and death, and she was no saint.

The reason Shen Qinghan was called a problem child by those around her definitely wasn't just because she simply didn't speak or make friends. Her way of handling many things was also unacceptable to the people around her.

Everything around her was colorless. There were only a few specific people who possessed color and labels; everyone else received the exact same treatment from the eldest miss: being completely ignored.

Like the little tabby kitten in front of her, she was only feeding it because she had nothing else to do at the moment, not because she liked it that much... Of course, it was much better than the orange cat that had just popped up to snatch the sausage.

"Big Orange" had now become a "Big Orange's fate is sealed" situation. Well, wasn't it? It was already lying stiff on the board, wasn't its fate sealed?

It seemed that except for when she was with Ye Cheng, when Shen Qinghan would speak more, the rest of the time she was always this taciturn. She would do simple things, like reading, catching dolls in claw machines, or feeding stray animals on the street...

When Ye Cheng was around, she didn't do these things.

Doing these things was more about giving herself something to keep busy with, so she wouldn't appear completely out of place among the people around her. It wasn't out of any great love for them; people just always need to find something they are passionate about.

Shen Qinghan found that she didn't seem to have anything she was particularly passionate about. Everything around her seemed pretty much the same, except for... a certain idiot.

Having only been out for a little while, Shen Qinghan's thoughts drifted back again. She felt that feeding cats out here wasn't as good as going back into the hospital to stare at a certain idiot...

As for why she clearly wanted to go back but still stayed downstairs... ah, how hard to guess.

Buzz, buzz.

A phone vibrated—the eldest miss's phone.

"Little Hanhan, come back quickly, Little Chengcheng needs you!" Du Wanyi sent a very brief message. After reading it, the eldest miss froze for a moment, then decisively threw away the sausage in her hand, stood up, and walked toward the hospital.

The short-haired woman: "???"

"Young Miss, are we still feeding them?" the short-haired woman asked uncertainly.

Shen Qinghan had already walked quite a distance away. It was unknown whether she didn't hear the short-haired woman's words, or if she heard them but didn't want to bother replying, as she walked further and further away.

The short-haired woman fell silent for a moment. She looked again at the Big Orange lying on the flowerbed whose life had been straightened out, and ultimately chose to place the bag of things she was carrying in front of the fallen Big Orange.

She treated it as an offering.

Oh, no, it was compensation for Big Orange's medical expenses. She hoped that after waking up, Big Orange would happily eat it and not hold a grudge against their Young Miss.

...

Inside the hospital ward.

"Who told you to treat him like this!" No one dared to respond to the young girl's fury, and even Dongfang Zhixia became much quieter at this moment.

It is for his own good... Dongfang Zhixia couldn't even bring herself to say this sentence now.

She didn't understand why Ye Cheng would have such a massive reaction to a simple blood draw. But at least for now... compared to a certain problem child's approach, she was in the wrong.

If he didn't want to, he didn't want to.

Saying things like "it is for your own good" sounded somewhat like self-deception when spoken out loud. The starting point was good, but Dongfang Zhixia didn't want to argue this logic right now; she had already fallen a head shorter than Shen Qinghan in this regard.

While Dongfang Zhixia remained silent, Lin Baizhi on the other side was completely dumbfounded, suddenly realizing that something was wrong.

It was too much of a coincidence!

Why would Shen Qinghan appear at this exact moment!

She didn't come any earlier or any later, she just had to pop up right at this moment... Damn it!!!

The most correct thing Lin Baizhi had done was not rushing to express her stance. By not stating whether she approved or disapproved of the blood test, she still had room to maneuver. She had been waiting to see if her brother's reaction would be intense.

If it was intense, she would jump out to stop Dongfang Zhixia, and then she could score massive points in her brother's heart. Like this, accumulating over time... she would max out his affection meter, and then she could unlock the special CG!!!

All her beautiful fantasies were shattered the moment the eldest miss came out.

Lin Baizhi never expected the eldest miss to run out and spoil the plan. By the time she reacted, the eldest miss had already finished farming all the affection points, while she... hadn't gained a single thing.

Damn it, who was it, who... Old Hag!!!

Lin Baizhi's pupils shrank as she suddenly realized something. From the very beginning, Du Wanyi had been unusually quiet. It was a bizarre kind of quiet, completely out of character for the usually boisterous Du Wanyi.

Normally, Lin Baizhi would have definitely noticed this anomaly and planned ahead. But just now, all her attention had been focused on her brother, and as a result...

Don't laugh, whatever you do, don't laugh! If you laugh, the jig is up!

Du Wanyi was holding back her laughter so hard she was about to give herself internal injuries. Why was she so smart?

Hahaha!!!

From the moment Dongfang Zhixia and Lin Baizhi came in with a large group of people, Du Wanyi had started brewing her wicked little ideas. She could have stopped all of this and prevented the doctors from examining Ye Cheng simply by stepping forward and explaining things.

After all, the blame would ultimately fall on her anyway.

But in the end, she didn't do it. One reason was that doing so would make Su Su suspicious. After all... her current persona was that of a beautiful wife who loathed Ye Cheng.

It would be a miracle if suddenly switching sides didn't arouse suspicion.

The truth would come out sooner or later; Du Wanyi knew this very well. Since it was going to be exposed anyway, she might as well ruthlessly scheme against them before it happened!

She wanted to massively boost the affection level for their Little Hanhan, ideally elbowing out the Little Green Tea in front of her and that naturally evil brat from the Dongfang family... And thus, the current situation unfolded.

What is a top-tier battle of wits?

This is a top-tier battle of wits!

Hahaha!!!

What was missing here was an image of Light Yagami laughing maniacally, oh wait, no, an image of the wife laughing maniacally, the kind where she covers her face and holds her forehead to stifle her laughter...

So satisfying!!!

Du Wanyi's only miscalculation was... she didn't expect her Little Hanhan to get this angry, stepping up and slapping someone right away. This seemed to be the first time she had seen such a thing in all these years.

Was she really that angry?

Damn it, could Little Chengcheng have replaced my position in Little Hanhan's heart... No way, this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable!!!

Du Wanyi, who had been holding back her laughter, now pulled a long, miserable face. Not far away, Su Su, who had witnessed the entire process, was already starting to question her life.

She... seemed to have been tricked!

Was this what that demoness meant by, Good thing our Little Hanhan is smart and didn't fall for it...?

Having known her for so many years, it wasn't like she didn't know the temperament of this little girl from the Shen family. She was always icy cold. When they were kids, she used to infuriate their Zhixia half to death, and in all these years, Su Su hadn't seen her show any major emotional fluctuations.

Yet now, she was directly slapping people in a hospital.

You call this not falling for it?

You call this being clear-headed?

Recalling the entire incident, Su Su suddenly shuddered. A flash of realization hit her, making her scalp tingle... She whipped her head to look at the miserable-looking Du Wanyi in the corner. No wonder. No wonder she was so quiet.

Boss, we've been tricked!!!

At this moment, the truth was fully revealed, a sudden awakening, but... it seemed a bit too late?

Is this how you take care of people? Shen Qinghan narrowed her eyes, glaring with hostility at the somewhat silent Dongfang Zhixia in front of her.
