Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots

Chapter 95: 095 starts to counterattack

Zhou Yao fluttered her somewhat dazed long eyelashes, looking at the two big shots who were standing close to her, half a head taller than herself.

They came charging in with such an imposing manner, backing her into a corner, just to ask which kindergarten she had attended?

What kind of move was that?

She shrank her neck, her voice trembling, "Fen, Fenmaitian International Kindergarten..."

As her voice landed, Xia Ye released his arm that had been pressed against the wall next to Zhou Yao’s head and stood up straight, exchanging a glance with Tang Tianjiao.

Tang Tianjiao’s expression was somewhat mystical.

Could it really be Fenmaitian International Kindergarten?

Could it be... that Zhou Yao was truly their "Dabao"?

Just a few minutes earlier, in the restroom, Xia Ye mentioned to her that after hearing Zhou Yao say some words, he felt that Zhou Yao was somewhat like the playmate they had in kindergarten.

At the time, she thought it was impossible, such a coincidence couldn’t be real.

But now, hearing Zhou Yao’s response, she couldn’t help but believe it.

Once this thread was picked up, they looked carefully at Zhou Yao once more.

Indeed, there was something familiar in her eyes and brows.

And Zhou Yao’s personality, wasn’t that just like the little flatterer from back then?

Zhou Yao herself hadn’t realized what was happening yet.

Her mind was preoccupied with the wrong Xia Yourong had done to her, and she was a bit out of sorts.

Seeing that the two big shots opposite her weren’t speaking, she hurriedly tried to show her loyalty, "I really have seen the light, I will never believe Xia Yourong’s words again. Just now, Xia Yourong called for me at the door, said she wanted to talk, and I didn’t go!"

Xia Ye’s fair fingers touched his chin as he pondered for a moment before calmly speaking, "Don’t do that, if she calls for you, just go."

Zhou Yao thought he was being sarcastic, "I really won’t go!"

Tang Tianjiao didn’t understand either, and she poked Xia Ye’s slender waist with her finger, "Ye, why would you..."

Xia Ye gave her a ’don’t ask, just trust me’ look.

Tang Tianjiao immediately obediently closed her mouth.

Xia Ye thought for a moment, "If you want to clear your name, listen to me, arrange a meeting with Xia Yourong."

If things kept dragging on, the situation might not be as optimistic as Zhou Yao thought. If the police got involved, Xia Yourong would surely realize the issue couldn’t be concealed and would definitely go home to ask for help. Facing Qiao Yufen and Xia Yuzheng with tears, tantrums, and threats, Qiao Yufen and Xia Yuzheng would certainly protect her reputation by secretly approaching Principal Tian. If this matter were to be silently suppressed without anyone mentioning it, that would be quite uninteresting.

The old ancestral rules understood politeness and expected reciprocity.

It wouldn’t be proper not to return such a big ’gift’ from someone else.

Just now, Zhou Yao mentioned that Xia Yourong wanted to talk to her, giving Xia Ye a bit of inspiration...

But Zhou Yao didn’t know Xia Ye had thought so much; she had just been harmed and surely wouldn’t lower her guard. Her eyes darted around. Xia Ye and Xia Yourong were sisters, who knew if they would collude to harm her.

Zhou Yao’s voice was timid, "Why should I listen to you?"

Xia Ye chuckled softly, amusement lighting up his cool eyes, "What, not even going to listen to your dad?"

Zhou Yao’s mouth gaped open, wondering if the class bully from Class 19 was now directly calling himself ’dad’?

Tang Tianjiao, seeing her still perplexed, also laughed along, "Not listening to dad’s words, not even mom’s?"

These were the lines they used most frequently when playing house as children.

As these familiar lines entered her ears, Zhou Yao’s bewildered eyes gradually became clear. A few seconds later, her eyes suddenly widened, "It’s you guys!"

Xia Ye and Tang Tianjiao exchanged a smile at each other.

Zhou Yao jumped up, thrilled.

She was truly confounded by Xia Yourong’s behavior.

At first, she had assumed Xia Yourong was her best childhood friend simply because she heard that Xia Yourong was the Xia Family’s daughter, and she thought the Xia Family had only one daughter.

But only recently had she discovered that the Xia Family had not only Xia Yourong but also Xia Ye, the younger daughter.

If Xia Yourong said she had never met her when they were children, didn’t that prove that her best friend, the little girl who loved soda and snacks, was actually Xia Ye?

She should have seen it sooner; Xia Yourong was nothing like her best friend!

She remembered how her friend used to say strange things to her classmates, like if you don’t go to the bathroom during this break, you’ll wet your pants in the next class.

The classmates were infuriated, yet as it turned out, every sentence Xia Ye said eventually came true!

Her friend was a little fairy who seemed to know everything!

If Zhou Yao hadn’t always mistaken Xia Yourong for her best friend, she wouldn’t have believed Xia Yourong’s lies unconditionally.

Zhou Yao suddenly remembered what Xia Ye had said before, "Right, Night Treasure, what did you just tell me to do tomorrow?"

Xia Ye thought to herself how quickly she changed her address; truly a woman capable of flattering even the ancestors.

She looked around and seeing that the restroom was currently empty, she led them both into the innermost stall.

This time, Zhou Yao didn’t dare hesitate. While Xia Ye spoke, she and Tang Tianjiao pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Both of them listened, their eyes sparkling with excitement...

When the three of them left the restroom, their faces were all bearing a casual smile, as if nothing had happened.

At the restroom door when parting ways, Xia Ye, with one hand in her pocket, looked at Zhou Yao and raised her eyebrows slightly, "How’s the acting?"

Zhou Yao’s mouth curved up, "Just you watch~"

For the entire day, Zhou Yao stayed in the classroom during every break and even had Zou Wu buy her lunch.

Zou Wu was naturally unwilling at first, but after Tang Tianjiao spoke up, he tucked his tail and went.

He came back with two meat dishes and two vegetarian ones, quite a generous meal.

Several times, Zhou Yao saw Xia Yourong passing by their classroom’s back door.

But she did not go out, and Xia Yourong didn’t dare to come in to find her, the look of urgency on her face growing deeper and deeper.

By the evening self-study period, Zhou Yao purposely packed her bag slowly.

She didn’t leave until almost everyone else had gone.

Sure enough, the moment she set foot outside the classroom, her arm was grabbed and she was pulled into a nearby storage room.

Zhou Yao frowned and looked up to meet Xia Yourong’s face with a smile that was taut with tension.

Just by looking at her complexion, it was apparent she had been distracted all day, constantly thinking of how to make Zhou Yao take the blame for her.

Xia Yourong bit her lip while looking at Zhou Yao, weighing how to begin.

The deadline set by Principal Tian for tomorrow noon was looming; if Zhou Yao didn’t take the blame, Principal Tian would definitely call the police.

The perfect image she had worked so hard to maintain over the years couldn’t collapse!

She absolutely couldn’t let anyone know that she was behind that incident!

"Yaoyao, actually, I wanted to talk to you today about..."

Zhou Yao hoisted her bag strap higher on her shoulder and before Yourong could speak, she interrupted with what she had planned with Xia Ye, "I have something tonight, come find me during the morning break tomorrow."

As soon as Xia Yourong heard this, her tone was a bit troubled, "You know, Yaoyao, I have to lead the exercises during break tomorrow and can’t..."

Zhou Yao pretended to leave, "Then forget it. I don’t really want to talk to you anyway."

"Okay, okay," Xia Yourong became extremely passive and quickly called out to stop her, "It’s a deal then, I’ll come find you during the exercise break tomorrow..."
