“What did he see?”

There was wariness in Rong Ruo’s voice. She already thought of herself as the mistress of the Bo family, so she would not let anyone touch Big Brother Yun Li aside from herself.

Hu Xiuli coughed lightly. “Yunli always looks impeccably dressed, right? But he had tugged off his necktie and unbuttoned all his buttons. He was sitting against the couch, and his neck was red. His breathing was quick, and he looked at the waiter at the entrance with bloodshot eyes. The waiter said that he felt about to burst into flames on the spot because of his gaze.”

Rong Ruo bit her lip, and her face turned red from what she heard. When she thought about how Bo Yunli looked like when he was tormented by desire, her breathing became ragged.

She composed herself after a moment. Even though she had already guessed the reason, she still pretended as if she could not understand what was going on. “What happened next?”

Hu Xiuli looked at her pure daughter in delight. “Little Ruo, you’re still young, so it’s normal that you don’t understand these things. It’s clear that Yunli was”—she leaned forward and whispered into Rong Ruo’s ear—”drugged with that sort of drug.”

Rong Ruo had already guessed the answer, but she squashed the jealousy in her heart. “Then, did Big Brother Yunli do that with Su Ye?”

“Su Ye was only there for less than ten minutes, so she definitely did not succeed.” Hu Xiuli had a mocking look on her face. “I’m guessing that Yunli chased her out the moment he noticed that he was drugged.”

When Rong Ruo heard this, she relaxed. She also started criticizing Su Ye with Hu Xiuli.

Hu Xiuli smiled and said, “This sort of method isn’t that rare among the rich, but this is the first time I heard of someone failing and being chased out.”

Rong Ruo straightened her back pridefully. ‘As expected of my Yunli.’

She said happily, “If Master Ye knew what sort of person Su Ye was, he would definitely want to cancel the engagement. Big Brother Yunli was deceived by Aunt Xu’s sweet words. I’ll go tell Big Brother Qi Yu now and have him reveal Su Ye’s true colors to everyone tomorrow! I’ll help Big Brother Yunli get rid of this problem!”

Hu Xiuli nodded in agreement. “That girl is just like her mother. She’s been bad since young.”

The mother and daughter continued talking to each other. Then, Rong Ruo’s phone rang again.

It was the former lady of the Su family, Liu Guifang.

Feeling good, Rong Ruo answered the phone. “Is it? Thanks, Grandma… Grandma, no matter what, Ye Ye is your granddaughter, so you should bring her along… Grandma, stop praising me… Okay, I’ll get myself ready…”

Hu Xiuli was confused as she listened next to her. When her daughter hung up, she asked, “Was it the former lady?”

Rong Ruo hummed in agreement while she sent a message to Qi Yu. “Grandma said that she will bring me out to buy a dress for the birthday party tomorrow.”

Hu Xiuli could not understand it. “This is a good thing. Why would you want her to bring Su Ye as well?”

Rong Ruo laughed and said, “Let her remain cocky until tomorrow. The higher on the pedestal you are, the greater your fall will be.”

….

The sun was bright, and Su Ye was in the backyard of the Su family’s mansion. She had a straw hat, sun-protective clothing, and flip-flops. Her elbow was wedged against a spade, and like any common gardener, she squatted on the rocks surrounding the garden while carefully sizing up a young shrub.

She counted the spores that had not popped out yet from the Seven Deities. “Three hundred thousand, six hundred thousand, nine hundred thousand, one million and two hundred thousand… Second investment for my nephew, received!”

Then, the sound of footsteps and a walking stick drew closer to her. Su Ye knew who it was, and she did not even bother turning her head around.

Liu Guifang studied her back for a long while thinking that she was the new gardener of the Su family. After some time, she said disdainfully, “Ye Ye, clean up after yourself.. I’m bringing you and Little Ruo out to buy dresses for tomorrow’s birthday party.”
