Chapter 31: Girls’ Tea Party
Speaking of which, why did I agree to come here for drinks with them? Ye Zhiyun kept thinking about this question in her mind, but it was useless to think about it anymore; she was already here. Isn’t there a saying, “Since you are here, take it easy”?
Although she indeed disliked Yu Linna, the other girl was a different matter. By the way, Yu Linna came purely because there were free things to drink again.
“Come, come, this milk tea shop is quite good. I often come here with friends. Order whatever you like.”
This milk tea shop wasn’t far from the school, just a five-minute walk, and the prices were low, very suitable for student consumption. Although Fang Jianing was a bit tight on cash, she could still afford a few cups of milk tea. This amount was small change for her. And getting to know this Miss Ye Zhiyun was also worth it.
“I’ll have this one. Wait, I’ll pay.”
Although it was just the price of a cup of milk tea, Ye Zhiyun’s upbringing was still very good. She didn’t like owing others. Besides, she wasn’t short of money.
Fang Jianing smiled without saying anything, took the menu she had checked, and then handed it to Yu Linna. Yu Linna wouldn’t be polite with her, directly ordering the most expensive cup of milk tea. Fang Jianing took it back with a habitual smile, then gave it to the waiter.
The decoration in the milk tea shop couldn’t be called luxurious. The tables and chairs were just simply arranged. However, there were a few posters hanging in the shop, all of current big stars, which could attract a little bit of customer traffic. Sitting in this shop, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, at least not like it was in the morning.
Ye Zhiyun leaned back in her chair, fiddling with her camera. She took a few pictures of the shop. The milk tea shop after school always had students, and the crowds coming and going formed a bustling street scene. Taking pictures of these scenes was also quite nice.
However, Ye Zhiyun herself preferred scenery more; portraits were secondary. But considering that today’s photos weren’t bad, she wouldn’t fuss too much.
“You’re good at taking pictures. When did you learn?”
Probably out of boredom, Yu Linna took the initiative to start a topic.
“None of your business. Just sit quietly and drink your milk tea.”
“Tch, stingy.”
Unlike Ye Zhiyun, Yu Linna didn’t hate her. At most, she would just say “I see” and move on. But Ye Zhiyun hated Yu Linna very much, hated her from the beginning. Who told her to steal her childhood sweetheart right from the start?
Her relationship with her childhood sweetheart hadn’t progressed at all, and this blonde who appeared out of nowhere was like the tenshi (girl falling from the sky) in manga, making her feel intensely insecure. If she didn’t eliminate her, she would definitely not feel at ease!
“Zhiyun, can I call you that? You can also call me Jianing. Since we’ve met, we can be considered friends. Want to add each other as friends?”
Fang Jianing took out her phone, squinting her eyes, her kind expression making it impossible to dislike her.
Ye Zhiyun wasn’t an unreasonable person either. She took out her phone, displayed her QR code for her to scan, and added her as a friend. For her, knowing one more person wasn’t a bad thing, and Fang Jianing wasn’t a bad person either, so getting acquainted was fine.
But Yu Linna was out of the question. She would absolutely not add her, absolutely not.
Because she hated her.
“Wow, I see your Moments are all about food and fun. Are you a rich young lady?”
The milk tea arrived. Ye Zhiyun held her cup and drank. During this time, Fang Jianing asked questions left and right, her eyes sparkling like stars.
“My family… My dad has a company, holds shares on the board, so it’s okay.”
Sipping her milk tea, Ye Zhiyun spoke somewhat indistinctly.
Her family situation was indeed much more affluent. Her dad was the president of a large company, consistently profitable year after year. Since childhood, she had received the best education and had flown all over the world. Ye Zhiyun could be considered a true rich young lady. It was just that she was relatively low-key and didn’t show off much.
However, she was indeed rich. Her family had mines, right? She had everything since she was young: money, houses, an older brother, and a childhood sweetheart. Except for her childhood sweetheart being disappointing and having low EQ, everything else was fine.
But having been pampered for so many years, she hadn’t developed a spoiled young lady’s temper, which surprised Yu Linna.
“I seem to have accidentally latched onto a tycoon’s thigh. I feel like I’ve grasped the future.”
“Classmate Jianing, what are you talking about?”
“Haha, nothing.”
Maybe this material could be saved for the next video, Fang Jianing thought silently. Speaking of videos, the video she promised Yu Linna wasn’t finished yet, giving her a bit of a headache. Might as well drag it out for now.
Ye Zhiyun’s appearance was quite different from when she was confronting Yu Linna earlier. Her posture and tone of voice were very much like a well-educated young lady. Her expression was neither cold nor enthusiastic, but just right. And when speaking, she would also consider the other person’s feelings, completely different from before.
She only showed that kind of appearance in front of Yu Linna. It was unknown whether this was a good thing.
“By the way, Zhiyun, when did you learn photography?”
“Probably around eight years old. I learned from my older brother. I’m quite interested in taking pictures. If you like, I can take a few pictures for you.”
“Really? Thank you so much!”
It seemed the two of them got along quite well. Yu Linna sat aside drinking her milk tea, sitting right in the middle, just watching them talk and laugh. She sighed, feeling somewhat excluded.
Since she had nothing to do, Yu Linna took out her phone and played by herself. Anyway, she couldn’t join their conversation. It was better to finish her milk tea alone and then leave. Anyway, this stuff was free.
Speaking of which, the matter of Sister Chen introducing her to the Shenzhen audition last time, the date was approaching. It seemed she would have to take leave for a period again. If she wanted to further catch up with Nangong Ying, entering the entertainment industry was the best choice. If she could be noticed by someone and then signed by a company, she would soar.
She wanted to get rid of poverty quickly and become rich early, so these preparations were necessary.
But first, she had to solve the problem of the homeroom teacher’s home visit.
“Sigh…”
Speaking of home visits, her head ached. What should she do?
Could she really only hire someone to impersonate her parents?
“Linna, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m thinking about how to solve the home visit issue. Fang Jianing, did you help me look for two people to impersonate my parents?”
Ye Zhiyun, who was drinking milk tea, almost choked on this sentence.
My god, what was she saying? Hire someone to impersonate parents?! How did she come up with such an amazing plan!
So there was this operation to deal with the homeroom teacher’s home visit!
“Hey, Yu Linna, what kind of stunt are you pulling now?”
“It’s none of your business, is it, Miss Ye?”
“…I can interpret this as retaliation.”
Seeing the cold expression on Yu Linna’s face, Ye Zhiyun clenched her fist. Sure enough, give her an inch and she’ll take a mile. Not dealing with her wouldn’t do.
She moved her position, put an arm around her shoulder, hooked her neck, her eyes becoming sharp.
“Yu Linna, what did you just say? Please repeat it.”
“I…”
My god, so scary!
Yu Linna’s shoulders began to tremble. Somehow, in Ye Zhiyun’s “friendly” smile, she felt a trace of panic. This woman named Ye Zhiyun, on the surface, was a young lady, but inside, she was an out-and-out villain!
That evil smile, that arrogant expression, and those eyes revealing murderous intent, were constantly telling her that this woman was a villain!
“What are you afraid of? I won’t eat you…”
“Um, I think I should go back…”
“It’s still so early, why go back? Besides… do you think I won’t settle the score from last time?”
That last sentence was definitely intentional, absolutely!
How could Ye Zhiyun let her go so easily? As long as she caught the opportunity, she would definitely not let go. She was just that kind of person.
Stealing her Ye Zhiyun’s person, hold a grudge. Seeing Ye Zhiyun’s panties, hold a grudge. Provoking her Ye Zhiyun’s temper, hold a grudge. Now settle it all at once.
“Ahaha, Zhiyun, don’t bully her. She’s still a child.”
Fang Jianing came over smiling to smooth things over, snatching Yu Linna from Ye Zhiyun’s grasp. Yu Linna, having survived the ordeal, breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought she was going to die just now!
Ye Zhiyun clicked her tongue (qie) and sat back alone, utterly bored.
“By the way, you want to find someone to impersonate your parents. Where do you plan to find them?”
“I don’t know. If there’s a cheap and obedient fool willing to be my parent for a bit, I’d be very grateful.”
Yu Linna was also quite troubled about the home visit. Hiring someone was one thing, the price was another.
Today was Monday, the home visit was the day after tomorrow. If she couldn’t find someone before tomorrow, it would really be GG (game over). No matter what, she had to find someone.
“I advise you not to make this plan. Hiring someone from outside to be a parent would cost at least a hundred yuan. And they are usually rough people. Besides, you’re already in high school and still need to meet parents. Who would agree to be your parent?”
Fang Jianing sipped her milk tea, completely unconcerned, advising her to give up the idea.
“Also, won’t your parents beat you to death if they find out?”
“I live alone, so there’s no problem.”
“Oh, I see. No wonder.”
If she lived alone, it was understandable. After all, her parents weren’t around, so finding someone to impersonate them was understandable.
The problem was, hiring someone to be a parent, no matter how you thought about it, wasn’t good.
“Yu Linna, when is your home visit?”
“The day after tomorrow. Why?”
“The day after tomorrow… How about I be your parent?”
“Huh?”
Yu Linna was stunned, holding her milk tea without speaking for a long time.
“How about it? I’ll be your parent, and I won’t charge you a cent. This deal is quite worth it. I’m not from your school, so your teacher won’t recognize me.”
“…Benefactor!”
How could Yu Linna refuse! She would definitely not refuse such a good opportunity!
It was free! Why should she refuse!
However, Ye Zhiyun agreeing to be her parent certainly wasn’t without expecting something in return. The reason she did this was, of course, because she wanted revenge.
