Their home was in the glassworks area, an old four-story building on the second floor.
As soon as they entered the iron gate of the courtyard, someone called to Bai Zhexi from the second floor.
"You guys came back. Someone came to your house. A girl has been waiting for you for a long time. She's sitting at the house."
Wan Chao looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with small curly hair wearing a red waistcoat. Her face was covered with a layer of white powder and she looked very energetic. She thought for a moment and realized it was probably her neighbor, Auntie Ma.
The home of the glass factory was an open brick building. The stairs and corridors on every floor were open and exposed, allowing a clear view of everything above and below. There were five families on the first floor, each of which was connected from front to back. There were no doors to door, only the neighbors on the left and right.
Upon hearing Auntie Ma's greeting upstairs, Bai Zhexi smiled and thanked her. "Big Sis Ma, thank you very much."
Bai Zhexi and Wan Chao went up the stairs and when they reached the second floor, they saw a girl with a long ponytail, wearing a yellow tracksuit standing in the corridor with her backpack on her back.
When the girl saw Wan Chao, she revealed a sweet smile and greeted her politely. "Aunt Bai, you're back. Chao'er, I've come to see you."
Wan Chao chuckled. She had a deep impression of this girl.
Her best friend, Zhuo Yao.
If Wan Chao could be said to be a twisted, rebellious, and bad girl, then Zhuo Yao was someone who everyone loved. She was very generous and outstanding student.
How did three years of good students Zhuo Yao and Wan Chao become best friends? It turned out that Zhuo Yao's father and Wan Chao's father had once been comrades in the army.
When she was young, her father had even brought Wan Chao to play at Zhuo Yao's home. Therefore, Zhuo Yao had gotten to know Wan Chao.
Because of father Wan, naturally, Wan Chao felt a sense of intimacy towards Zhuo Yao. In addition, Zhuo Yao was a very good girl, so they became close friends, or perhaps it could be said that she considered Zhuo Yao to be a very close friend. She would tell Zhuo Yao everything.
Sometimes, Bai Zhexi even asked Zhuo Yao to help her persuade Wan Chao.
If Zhuo Yao really was an innocent and kind girl, then that would be alright. Unfortunately, Zhuo Yao had hidden her selfish motives.
It could be said that Zhuo Yao had contributed at least half the credit for the fact that Wan Chao had been reduced to her current state.
That year, when Wan Chao left the small southern city, she had broken off all connections with the old people and gradually understood the various aspects of life.
Every time she thought of the things that had happened, she couldn't help but think about what Jiang Ke Chu had told her about Zhuo Yao. Afterwards, she became more aware that Zhuo Yao's heart is venomous, and was actually a poisonous white lotus.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Her body and mind were full of holes, and she had no motivation to take revenge. Day after day, she continued to live like a zombie. In the end, she threw herself at the group of sharks without any hesitation.
Now that she had returned, Bai Zhexi is still alive. Her high school career was not over, and her life had not become beyond control. It was still not too late for her to change.
This time, she would not be easily trusting Zhuo Yao. Even if it meant avenging her past life, she still had to take revenge!
Wan Chao was the kind of person who would rather let the world go against her selfishness and act on her own whims. For her own pleasure, even if she had to die with her enemies, she would not hesitate at all.
Therefore, in her previous life, when she had a falling out with Jiang Ke Chu, she would not hesitate to beat the child in her womb.
Therefore, the first time that Wan Chao saw Zhuo Yao, she had already made up her mind. This white lotus, she would ruthlessly break it, turning it black!
"Yaoyao is here? Would you like to stay with us for dinner today? "You and Chao'er have a nice chat, auntie will cook the bamboo shoot fried meat that you like." When Bai Zhexi saw Zhuo Yao, a warm smile appeared on her face.
Bai Zhexi's liking for Zhuo Yao was very obvious. Her family was very embarrassed, even wanting Zhuo Yao to stay for a meal. Moreover, it was made into meat that she couldn't eat even once a week. Bamboo shoots weren't cheap either.
Wan Chao did not stop her. Bai Zhexi had not eaten meat for a long time, so she was going to make up for it today.
Zhuo Yao had a sweet smile on her face. "Thank you, Auntie. Auntie really treats me so well."
My mother treats you well, but how did you treat my mother! With a wooden face, she followed behind Bai Zhexi directly into the house, completely ignoring Zhuo Yao.
Zhuo Yao was slightly surprised in her heart. Although Wan Chao usually wore a cold expression, she would greet her sooner or later. Why did she ignore her today?
Zhuo Yao quickly relaxed. Perhaps it was because someone beat up Wan Chao today, she sneered in her heart. She didn't mind at all as she followed Wan Chao into her room.
"Chao'er, I heard that you fought with Liu Li and the others again today? When I heard this, I was very worried. I didn't even go home after school just to find you. " Zhuo Yao's face was full of concern as she said to Wan Chao, "Chao'er, what's going on? Tell me about it. "
Wan Chao sneered and asked, "Didn't you already hear about it?"
Zhuo Yao choked and then continued to speak with a sincere face, "I don't believe what they've said. I only believe what you've said."
"Hur hur, you really care about me." Wan Chao mocked.
Zhuo Yao didn't seem to hear the ridicule from Wan Chao. In her eyes, her words were strange, and she said, "We were good friends since we were young."
At this moment, the sound of Bai Zhexi washing vegetables came from the kitchen. Wan Chao's lips curved upwards as she pointed at the wounds on her face.
"This was fought by Liu Li and Zhang Xiaoyu today. However, I did not let them off easy. Today, I also beat up Liu Li."
"Huh?" Zhuo Yao's jaw dropped in shock. "Did you really hit Liu Li?"
Wan Chao nodded with a cold expression.
"Chao'er!" Zhuo Yao snapped. She reached out her hand to hold Wan Chao's, but was disdainfully evaded. She didn't mind and continued speaking. "Chao'er, don't you remember what I told you before?"
What did she say? You want me to not retaliate and get beaten up? It should mean that.
She raised her hand to stop Zhuo Yao's next words. "Let's talk in the other room." With that, she stood up and walked towards a door at the side.
Zhuo Yao was a little puzzled. She thought for a moment, it was as if Wan Chao wanted to find a more private space and tell her some secrets, so she followed her to that door.
Inside, there were a few chairs and some old furniture. It looked like a small storage room.
"Chao'er, I didn't think that there would be a storage room in your room. This place is indeed private, no one will ever hear what we said. Hehe." Zhuo Yao said.
Wan Chao smirked, "En." She sat down in a chair.
Zhuo Yao had no choice but to sit on a chair opposite Wan Chao, with a grey cloth draped over her back.
Wan Chao pulled a rope from the wall and played around with it on her finger. Without even looking at Zhuo Yao, she casually said, "Continue talking."
"Ah?" "Oh." Zhuo Yao continued, "Didn't I tell you before, don't get into a head-on conflict with Liu Li and the others …"
As Zhuo Yao was speaking, she didn't notice that the cloth behind her was slowly being pulled to the side, revealing a window at the back. Through the window, you could see Bai Zhexi busying herself in the kitchen.
