Urban Village.
Nighttime.
In a low-rise building.
Yu Wan'er sat by the bedside table, doing her homework. From the back, she looked no different from a middle or high school student, petite and delicate.
The little girl was barefoot, her fair, jade-like feet swinging back and forth. She bit the end of her pen, gazing at the full moon outside the window, seemingly lost in thought over a problem.
Of course, she wasn’t thinking about her homework. Her mind was in turmoil.
Earlier that day, Ye Mengyao had told her... she needed to gather her courage, secretly seduce Jiang Che, and declare war on Qin Qiaoqiao.
Ye Mengyao had even dragged her into a discussion about what kind of outfit would catch Jiang Che’s attention. Yu Wan'er hadn’t said much, just silently accompanied Ye Mengyao as she picked out a pretty sailor uniform.
She had to admit, when she saw Ye Mengyao put on that sailor uniform... she felt jealous!
Ye Mengyao’s figure wasn’t exaggerated, just average for a teenage girl, but it was still miles ahead of hers.
Compared to Ye Mengyao, she was like a shriveled bean sprout.
Utterly unremarkable!
The most important thing was... now even Ye Mengyao was actively pursuing Jiang Che. What did that make her?
How was she supposed to face Ye Mengyao from now on?
So annoying!
It’s all Jiang Che’s fault! If he hadn’t bullied her... how could things have come to this?
Her poor Mengyao-jie, brainwashed by his manipulation without even realizing it.
“Wan'er, what’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”
The gentle voice came from Yu Weiwei, who was sitting on the balcony in a wicker chair. Her tone was soft, giving no indication that she was a patient in the late stages of kidney failure.
Yu Wan'er’s home was small, only about 70 to 80 square meters, but it was well-equipped. The balcony not only had a wicker chair but also space for a few potted plants.
“Mom, it’s nothing... I’m just doing my homework,” the little girl pouted.
“You don’t look like you’re doing homework,” Yu Weiwei said, her eyes seeing right through her daughter’s little act.
“What about Jiang Che? I haven’t seen him around lately.”
“Don’t mention him! He’s just a playboy, flirting with one girl after another. I thought he was some kind of devoted lover when I saw him chasing Mengyao-jie before. Hmph, turns out he’s just a scumbag!”
Yu Wan'er’s cheeks puffed up in anger as she jabbed her textbook with the tip of her pen.
Yu Weiwei couldn’t help but chuckle. “Isn’t that how rich people are? But I think Jiang Che is still a decent kid. Maybe he’s a bit of a flirt... but he’d definitely treat a girl well, at least ensuring she’d never have to worry about food or shelter.”
Yu Wan'er realized she couldn’t have a conversation with her mom without getting frustrated.
“Who needs his food and shelter? I’ll be able to live comfortably on my own in the future,” Yu Wan'er retorted, puffing up like an angry pufferfish.
“Alright, alright, girls shouldn’t get too angry. It’s not good for your health. A good girl like our Wan'er, who’s both pretty and smart, will definitely do well without relying on a man,” Yu Weiwei said gently, brushing aside a strand of dry, yellowish hair from her forehead, her face always carrying a soft smile.
Though she had been a prostitute in her younger years, Yu Weiwei had protected Yu Wan'er very well. After adopting Yu Wan'er, she moved to a new city and never got involved with any questionable men again.
She could be rotten to the core, but her precious daughter couldn’t be.
After meeting Jiang Che, Yu Weiwei had indeed considered letting Yu Wan'er latch onto the son of the richest man in town. A couple of years of dating him, and she’d be set for life.
But she eventually decided against it. After all, relying on a man for a living wasn’t an easy life.
“Wan'er, remember when you were little? You loved raising cats and dogs. Maybe you could become a veterinarian in the future, open a pet store... and have a whole bunch of cats and dogs running around, making a mess everywhere... haha~~”
“Uh... not funny?”
Yu Weiwei looked at Yu Wan'er’s serious expression, feeling a bit awkward.
Yu Wan'er bit her lip lightly. “Mom, when I make money in the future, I’ll hire the best doctors for you.”
Yu Weiwei fell silent for a moment, but soon a calm smile spread across her face.
......
The next day.
Qin Qiaoqiao and Ye Mengyao were glaring at each other, neither willing to back down.
Especially Qin Qiaoqiao, who couldn’t believe it... wasn’t Ye Mengyao supposed to be a dignified young lady from a wealthy family? How could she act like this?
Ye Mengyao, on the other hand, lowered her proud head.
Bullying her man had been fun for a while, but now she was paying the price.
She used to ignore Jiang Che, but now... the road to winning him back was a long one.
Soon, Jiang Che walked in with breakfast, glancing at Ye Mengyao and Qin Qiaoqiao.
Both Qin Qiaoqiao and Ye Mengyao were destined heroines, with natural beauty scoring at least 95 out of 100. They were rare beauties, like priceless treasures!
After setting the breakfast on the table, his gaze settled on Ye Mengyao.
“Ye Mengyao, from now on... don’t dress like that when you come to see me.”
Jiang Che’s words drained the color from Ye Mengyao’s face.
She was a young lady from a prestigious family! She had already lowered herself to this extent... why wouldn’t he accept her?
[Stupid Jiang Che, I’ll never like you again.]
[I’d rather jump off the 18th floor than say another word to you.]
Just as Ye Mengyao was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, Jiang Che spoke again.
“If you dress like that, you might attract the wrong kind of attention. It’s dangerous.”
His tone was serious.
Ye Mengyao blinked in confusion, her emotions suddenly halted.
Huh? What’s going on?
“Jiang... Jiang Che, were you just worried about me?” Ye Mengyao asked, barely containing her joy.
Jiang Che pursed his lips slightly. “Just eat your breakfast.”
Of course, he couldn’t keep stringing Ye Mengyao along forever. After all, she was now his woman, and he couldn’t keep tormenting her. A little pampering now and then would work wonders!
She had kept him hanging before—wasn’t he allowed to get a little revenge?
Jiang Che checked the time. “You don’t have to go to school today. I’ll call in for you.”
“Oh~” Qin Qiaoqiao also lowered her head.
As for Ye Mengyao, she was still basking in her joy, nibbling on a bun, her heart filled with sweetness.
It was the taste of love!
