Beat up the scumbag
"Hmph!" Zhou Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at her. When did Ye Wanqing become so sharp-tongued?
"Why did you hit Xiaorou in public during the day? Doesn't Xiaorou have any dignity? Apologize to Xiaorou!" Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Zhou Zhiyuan walked up to her and arrogantly reprimanded her.
Ye Wanqing wasn't afraid and directly retorted, "She's shameless, what does she care about saving face! She provoked me first, that's why I retaliated, I'm not apologizing."
"Brother Zhiyuan, look at how arrogant she is! You have to stand up for me... I didn't provoke her at all!" Su Xiaorou pretended to be weak and started crying again.
[Ding! Dislike value +2 points!]
Zhou Zhiyuan was a little angry. "Ye Wanqing, Xiaorou didn't provoke you at all. You're quite good at spreading rumors. Since you refuse to apologize, don't blame me for acting on behalf of heaven!"
After saying that, he raised his hand high, about to slap Ye Wanqing across the face.
However, Ye Wanqing quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist. Zhou Zhiyuan felt a sharp pain from the grip and stammered in confusion, "You...you...when did you become so strong?"
"You think you're strong? I'm even stronger when I slap someone!"
Ye Wanqing immediately used her other hand to slap Zhou Zhiyuan across the face, leaving a bright red handprint.
"You!" Zhou Zhiyuan was shocked that Ye Wanqing actually hit him!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just swatted a mosquito on your face!" Ye Wanqing said with a grin.
"Ye Wanqing!" Zhou Zhiyuan reacted and was about to retaliate when another slap came his way.
"Ugh, the mosquitoes are coming again!"
Another slap landed on his other cheek.
"I've already killed the mosquito for you, no need to thank me."
After saying that, Ye Wanqing clapped her hands in disgust, didn't even look at him, pushed him away, and walked towards home.
"Ye Wanqing! You come back here!"
Zhou Zhiyuan watched her retreating figure, then reached up and touched his burning cheek. A surge of inexplicable anger welled up inside him. He felt as if Ye Wanqing had become a completely different person; this was the second time she had slapped him!
She wasn't like this before; she was always so meek and submissive. For some reason, those two slaps just now had enraged him...
It feels like I tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!
Seeing this, Su Xiaorou quickly stepped forward and touched his face. "Zhiyuan, are you alright? That Ye Wanqing went too far, she even hit you?"
He felt inexplicably irritated and pushed her hand away, saying, "Don't touch me. Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
Hearing this, Su Xiaorou immediately became unhappy. "Zhiyuan, he hit you, are you just going to let it go like that?"
"Isn't it all because of you?!" Zhou Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at her disdainfully, somewhat blaming her.
If it weren't to stand up for her, why would I have been slapped twice for no reason!
When Su Xiaorou saw Zhou Zhiyuan being so harsh with her, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked weak and pitiful, her face streaked with tears, "Zhiyuan, you're being so mean to me! You weren't like this before..."
For some reason, Zhou Zhiyuan felt a bit annoyed when he saw her tears. He used to feel sorry for her when he saw her cry, but this time he didn't know why he felt a bit disgusted.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself just now..."
"Zhiyuan, it's all my fault. I made you get slapped by Ye Wanqing. I'm a jinx. Stay away from me from now on! I deserve to be unloved and uncared for. I don't blame anyone..."
As Su Xiaorou spoke, tears began to fall steadily.
Zhou Zhiyuan could only try to comfort her. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. You're innocent, it's all Ye Wanqing's fault. Okay, Xiaorou, don't cry."
"Zhiyuan, thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you."
"I understand. You can go home now. We can talk about it tomorrow."
...
As soon as Ye Wanqing arrived at the door, she saw Zhao Hui come out and went to greet her.
"Wanqing, you're finally back. Have you eaten?"
"I've already eaten out."
Zhao Hui felt a little uncomfortable seeing her eating out for two consecutive days.
"Why haven't you been coming home for dinner lately? Wanqing, didn't we agree to be family? Why are you being so formal?"
"It's not that I'm being distant, it's that I want you to gradually get used to it and not take it for granted that I used to cook for the family."
After all, people are like this: once they get used to something, they take it for granted; if they don't get used to it, they gradually get used to it. So problems are all caused by indulgence.
However, Zhao Hui still stepped forward somewhat hesitantly and said, "Wanqing, my cooking skills are really terrible. Everyone misses your cooking. Why don't you cook instead?"
"That won't do. Auntie, didn't you tell me that to win a man's heart, you have to win his stomach? If you don't practice your cooking skills properly, what if Uncle Zhou finds you a mistress someday? Don't blame me for not warning you."
Zhao Hui's face turned green instantly. When did this little girl become so eloquent? She actually used the same tactics she used to manipulate her back then. There was really no way to refute her. She even cursed her to be a mistress! Infuriating!
[Ding! Dislike value +1 point!]
But Zhao Hui suppressed her anger and continued, "Wanqing, you should go to Grandma Zhiyuan's birthday banquet tomorrow. My cooking skills are really not up to par."
Zhou Zhiyuan also came out, somewhat impatiently, "Mom, it's my maternal grandmother's birthday banquet, why are you sending an outsider?"
Zhao Hui rolled her eyes at him instead, "What do you know? Wanqing is a good cook, she can help with cooking. Besides, your uncle is coming too."
"Isn't my uncle in the army? Does he have time to come back?"
"Isn't this for matchmaking? Your uncle is so handsome now, girls are lining up to date him. It's a pity he doesn't like any of them."
Ye Wanqing didn't want to go at first, since Zhao Hui's plan was to use her as a free nanny to do the work.
But when I heard that Zhou Zhiyuan's uncle was very handsome, I thought that the cashback rate must be quite high as well.
In her previous life, Ye Wanqing registered her marriage with Zhou Zhiyuan the very next day, so she didn't attend the birthday banquet and didn't see her uncle either.
"Okay. I'm going. I want to see just how handsome my uncle really is."
Ye Wanqing quickly agreed and immediately returned to her room, closing the door behind her.
[Ding, Dislike level +1 point.]
Ye Wanqing didn't understand where this disdain value came from, little did she know that Zhou Zhiyuan's face was completely black at this moment.
Zhou Zhiyuan disliked her for being unable to resist the allure of handsome men, and thought she was a superficial woman.
Zhao Hui had no choice but to cook for herself, and as expected, she was disliked again.
"This dish is awful, I'd rather have the pickled vegetables."
Zhou Weiguo gave her a disdainful look, slammed his chopsticks down, and left. Zhao Hui felt upset seeing how much he disliked her food, and thought of what Ye Wanqing had just said.
Is she really going to practice her cooking skills properly?
