Cannon Fodder is a Master of Manipulation

Bai Yulan was a young girl who had to flee her country after a series of misunderstandings and unfortunate events. The death of the young girl, who was filled with intense regrets until the end of her life, was extremely miserable. But everything changed when she opened her eyes at the age of 23 when she thought that everything was over. Because now she had the chance to reverse the disasters that would happen to her and defeat the friendly-looking enemies one after another. She would especially ask for an account of her past grudges with the manipulation techniques she had mastered. So she did something that no one would normally think of. She took a completely different path from her previous life. She was no longer that young girl, restrained by her emotions, she. On the contrary, emotions were only one's most obvious weakness in her eyes. That's why she arranged a fake marriage for herself. She wanted to hold a pawn to help her defeat her enemies. “Remember, we are not really husband and wife. This kiss means nothing. So stop looking at me like you want to kiss me again" “I'm pretty, right? Wait…you better get rid of that look in your eyes before things get dangerous.” “Don't come any closer. My heart is beating so fast right now and if this continues I might fall in love with you" “What is that expression on your face? 'She sighs wearily' Don't tell me you're really in love with me. It wasn't in our contract!”

Exactly 6 months before the current time, Chu Taishan arrived at the Bai mansion and said that he liked Bai Meixie. Hearing this, everyone except Bai Yulan had already met this situation, enjoying the must-buy. Seeing all her shyness for the first time that day, Bai Yulan shouted to a level that made the mansion groan, and she had a nervous breakdown. Of course, the end of this nervous breakdown was her rebuking for getting educated and stopping acting childishly.

Remembering that girl, Bai Yulan was both angry and upset at her stupidity. Along with her and later, this incident was also the ear. But right now her priority was this banquet.

Slowing down behind her came Bo An, and the arrangement of the meeting continued towards the backyard of Bai mansion.

Although the start time of the banquet was 20:00 in the evening, it was not dark yet due to the fact that it was summer. That's why the figure of a girl running around the garden in her white nightgown clearly stood out.

So much so that her long hair, which is black with every step, is blown with her. Curls were spreading around. There was an air around her as if a fairy was running around.

In contrast to the noisy and hectic atmosphere inside the mansion, the garden was extremely quiet. Therefore, hearing the voice of Bai Yulan running with her bare feet, the gazes of the people were directed towards her.

Of course, these people consisted of the waiter and servants responsible for preparing the feast, and Su Fang, who constantly barked orders at them.

Seeing her, Bai Yulan rushed to the side of Su Fang, whose eyes were wide open. She took a few deep breaths for a few seconds, as if running all this way was exhausting her, and when she stabilized her breathing, she began to speak in a slightly worried tone.

"Mom, we have a very important problem. I don't have any suitable dresses for the banquet. It's not long before it starts. What should we do?"

Hearing what she was talking about and realizing why she had come to her, Su Fang froze for a moment, but quickly put a kind expression on her face.

"Ahh, so Lanlan wants to attend the banquet. I thought you'd like to rest in your room after this morning's event. Otherwise I would have sent the designers to your room long ago. For now, it looks like we have no choice but to pick something from her closet and wear it."

Every word came out of her mouth in a very loving tone. This made it difficult for her to get angry with the other party, even if the listener was right. Of course, these tricks were clearly useless for Bai Yulan, who specializes in reading the other person's emotions. There's no way she could miss the expression of intolerance and mild anger in Su Fang's eyes.

But this game is played with two people. She tilted her head forward and slightly protruded her lips.

"Mom, unfortunately I don't have any suitable clothes for tonight. Since you told me that simpler and more plain clothes would suit me, all of my clothes are just for casual wear. What should we do. If word spreads that the Bai family can't even buy their daughter a dress for the banquet, our reputation will be ruined."

At the end, her voice was hoarse, almost as if she was about to cry. Su Fang and the surrounding servants, who had obviously not expected such an answer from her, were silent for a moment.

"Oh is it? Then it would be okay if you put on one of your sister's clothes this time, Lanlan. I promise I'll go shopping with you tomorrow and buy lots of new clothes for you."

Guessing that some of the early guests were probably at the front door right now, Su Fang saw that her maid Bo An, who had arrived and didn't dare make a sound, was shaking her head nervously, regretting her decision to send her to Bai Yulan from the very beginning, and hurriedly tried to settle the matter. worked.

'Pfff….is this woman really serious?'

In society, people could turn even a simple outfit into gossip material and associate it with a family's reputation. That's why Bai Yulan was going to make this dress thing as difficult as possible.

"B..but mom, my sister will have many friends at the banquet. If they find out I'm wearing her outfit, they'll accuse me of impersonating my sister and my reputation will be ruined. But since you said so…okay I'll wear it."

This time, the girl's expression was so pitiful that she had her hands clasped and her head bowed completely, like an innocent flower being bullied by a huge giant.

Knowing that the guests were about to arrive in the backyard at that moment, Su Fang frankly did not take into account the consequences of his words. With Bai Yulan's current expression, it was as if she had portrayed a bad stepmother bullying her stepdaughter. So much so that she could feel the eyes of the servants around her who looked at her with disapproval, piercing through her body.

Su Fang, who always had a gentle profile, frankly realized that the situation was going against her, and started to look at Bai Yulan with a slight doubt in her eyes.

She didn't want to believe that this obedient and naive girl, who would normally never go out of his way, was planning this, but her words and actions were too suspicious. Of course, catching the doubt deep in her eyes that contrasted with the gentle expression on Su Fang's face, Bai Yulan did not want to reveal herself from the very beginning.

"Mom, I just had another idea. Now I can sneak to the nearest mall and buy a dress. Then I attend the banquet as if it took me a long time to get ready. How, don't you think that's a good idea?"

Hearing Bai Yulan's suggestion, which she said excitedly as if she had suddenly found it, the doubt in Su Fang's eyes cleared and she quickly asked Bo An to bring the driver to the back door.

Before she went to greet the guests at the front door, she did not neglect to give Bai Yulan his credit card, which had a very high limit.

Holding the platinum credit card in her hand, Bai Yulan watched as Su Fang rushed to the entrance of the garden with a row of maids and waitresses behind her and muttered to herself.

'I'll let you get away with it easily, considering what I'm going to do tonight'
