Just as everyone was stunned and incredulous that Pei Yunduo and Li Wei would become friends, something unexpected happened.
That day, the sun shone brightly, a gentle breeze blew, and the campus was filled with youthful energy and passion as the annual school sports meet grandly opened. Li Wei excitedly approached Pei Yunduo, inviting her to join the cheerleading squad and cheer on Zhang Yuan, who was giving his all on the field. Faced with such a warm invitation, how could Pei Yunduo bear to refuse? So, the two hit it off immediately and quickly gathered several other like-minded classmates, forming a vibrant cheerleading team.
Li Wei said to Pei Yunduo with great joy, "Yunduo, you have a solid foundation in martial arts! So, we'll have to rely on you to perfectly execute these rather difficult moves!" Pei Yunduo nodded without hesitation. After all, having practiced martial arts since childhood, she knew that although these moves were somewhat dangerous, it wouldn't be difficult for her to complete them smoothly with her excellent skills.
From then on, every evening after school, these students would be seen diligently practicing in the training room. They poured their sweat into rehearsing the complex and exciting movements, striving for perfection. Hard work pays off; as time went on, their teamwork became increasingly seamless, and their movements more skillful and fluid. Passing students, seeing their dedication, would give them a thumbs-up and praise, "You guys are really working incredibly hard! I'm sure you'll amaze the entire school!"
Zhang Yuan quietly watched the two familiar figures before him—the girl he admired and his family's close friend were chatting happily and intimately. Seeing them getting along so well, a sense of relief welled up in his heart. After all, his elders had long ago instructed him to take good care of Li Wei, and he found it difficult to refuse such a request.
The growing closeness between the two brought Zhang Yuan a sense of relief. He used to struggle with balancing both sides, unsure how to manage the situation. Now, that dilemma was gone, and the three of them would occasionally dine out or stroll together. It's worth noting, however, that Li Wei seemed more understanding than before. Whenever they went shopping together, she would miss at least two out of the planned trips, seemingly deliberately avoiding getting involved in Zhang Yuan and Pei Yunduo's relationship.
Pei Yunduo also noticed Li Wei's change. She thought to herself: This friend is indeed quite good; she must have already let go of her feelings for Zhang Yuan.
However, completely unaware of what was going on, she could never have imagined that the seemingly gentle and quiet Li Wei was actually meticulously planning a shocking conspiracy—a massive scheme that could completely destroy her and solve the problem once and for all.
It all started with an incident that happened not long ago. At the time, harboring jealousy and resentment towards Pei Yunduo, she constantly targeted her, which Zhang Yuan unfortunately noticed. Zhang Yuan was very displeased and severely reprimanded her. Feeling deeply wronged, she burst into tears and immediately called her mother to complain. Her mother, fiercely protective of her daughter, was enraged upon hearing this, convinced that Pei Yunduo, this arrogant "little vixen," was trying to seduce her future son-in-law, causing her precious daughter to suffer this injustice. Therefore, the mother and daughter conspired to first feign reconciliation with Pei Yunduo, repairing their relationship, and then waiting for the right opportunity to eliminate Pei Yunduo, this stumbling block. They believed that if they could successfully remove Pei Yunduo, they could win back Zhang Yuan's heart and change their negative image in his eyes. In this way, Zhang Yuan would still be her ideal husband.
That said, the reason the mother and daughter went to such lengths was that the Li family was now almost entirely dependent on the Zhang family to maintain their current standard of living and social status. However, this dependent relationship was unsustainable. If they didn't find a way to consolidate their own position, the Li family would likely fall into an abyss of no return once they lost the Zhang family's support. After much deliberation, they ultimately placed all their hopes on their daughter, hoping that through this scheme, they could not only preserve her relationship with Zhang Yuan but also maintain the long-term relationship between the two families. Poor, innocent and kind Pei Yunduo was completely unaware of the danger that was closing in on her...
