"Ran Ran, your Sister Rui came to see you... Why are there so many people in the ward?" Mother Yue walked into the ward and stared at the three men inside with hesitation.
Mother Yang also followed behind Mother Yue. She had been eavesdropping on the four people's conversation before meeting Mother Yue in front of the doorway of Yue Ran's ward. She secretly resented the fact that her son was not strong enough to stand out among Yue Ran's many suitors.
But now that she saw Yang Chi's eyes, which had been glued to Rui Qin's body since she entered the ward, how could she not understand the rest? The reason why her son has been resisting his engagement, which would turn into a marriage with Yue Ran, is all because he's interested in another person!
Mother Yang hurriedly pushed Yang Chi's wheelchair to leave the scene.
"Sister Yue, we just came here to see how Ran Ran's injury is doing, and now that we've seen that she's fine, then we'll leave first, and we'll talk again the next time we meet!"
"Hey, mom, what are you doing?" Yang Chi wanted to protest, but Mother Yang slapped her hand over his mouth with a loud clap and pushed his wheelchair out of the door with her free hand.
All of her actions were done so quickly that no one could do anything to interrupt her. The next thing everyone knew, Mother Yang and Yang Chi were already out of the room, and the door to the ward had been slid shut with a soft click.
This is the first time that Yue Ran confronted the heroine head-on after coming into this world.
And she hated her already.
Anyone in the Lord God's good graces, such as this female protagonist, is not a good person.
Her plastic skin hurt Yue Ran's eyes. Or it may just be the (fake) saintly halo bestowed by the Lord God on the female protagonist to keep the male protagonists in check.
Her fakeness was akin to a radioactive substance that causes mutations wherever it goes. It may not hurt herself, but it sure does hurt others, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Has her skin started mutating? Has she finally turned into an alien? Will her beauty still be preserved?
Yue Ran inwardly rolled her eyes at her own thoughts.
But seriously, just looking at the female protagonist's face sickens her.
The same could be said for Rui Qin's feelings toward Yue Ran. When she looked at Yue Ran, she also felt an unexplainable and extreme disgust in her heart for no reason.
However, Yue Ran is the only child of the rich and noble Yue family; therefore, she had to suppress the indescribable disgust in her heart and make a show of their good relationship, at least on the surface and in front of Mother Yue.
Rui Qin clenched her fists but placed a smile on her face. "So this is little sister Yue Ran." She started. "You look even more beautiful than what I have heard of you before," she said. "Are you feeling okay after experiencing such a deadly accident?"
"Master, this female protagonist is really shameless!" Ruan Ruan expressed his displeasure. "Does she expect any average person to feel okay after almost dying once?"
Yue Ran also felt disgusted.
Disgusted to death.
"My mother only gave birth to one daughter, and that is me." Yue Ran emphasized the word "me" in the sentence. "Do I have any long-lost sisters that I myself had not realized?" She raised a brow and let out a gasp of surprise. "No, I don't think so." Then she rolled her eyes. "Don't mess up the Yue family's genealogy just because you don't care to think before you speak."
She drank the glass of warm water that Mother Yue offered before continuing.
"This young lady has no other siblings that she is aware of, nor would she recognize them. Get it through your thick skull, Auntie; your fake-ness is radiating miles."
When Yue Ran first received the memory of the original body, she remembered that all of the sufferings endured by the original body stemmed from the female protagonist herself.
Although it may not have any direct relationship with the female protagonist, the fact that the original body was hurt because of her is undeniable.
It may be the subconscious part of the female protagonist's brain—the part written in their DNA and engraved in their bones—that inflicts harm on the villainous female supporting roles, causing their army of boy toys to launch a war against these villainous female supporting roles.
Auntie? Auntie!
Rui Qin breathed in deeply to try and calm herself down. She still had to maintain her good impression in front of everyone. She cannot break out of her saintly character.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Yue; maybe I feel that the relationship with the Yue family is close enough that I may have overstepped my bounds." Rui Qin lowered her head.
"No kidding," Yue Ran said, rolling her eyes. "Oh, and keeping your head forever down suits your look." A sweet smile crept up her lips. "It's a compliment."
The original body has always been a straightforward person, and Yue Ran only followed the original body's character. Since she dislikes the female protagonist, why not let it be known?
None of it would even jeopardize her favorability scores. The only annoying thing would be...
"Yue Ran, how can you talk to Sister Qin like that?" Jin Yao frowned. "Sister Qin also cares about you!"
He felt that Rui Qin was truly wronged by Yue Ran.
"Yue Ran, Boss Rui only has good intentions for you." Jiang Yi spoke as if he were an adjudicator who was acting impartially.
The Lord God sure placed a heavy filter on this female protagonist. Every male protagonist Yue Ran met was always blinded by the female protagonists' halo, so their IQ turned to the negatives.
Only when the female protagonist had gone too far would they return to sanity. They reminded Yue Ran of string puppets in a puppet show.
Mother Yue originally stood aside, looking at Yue Ran accusingly for not showing a good demeanor to outsiders. But now, seeing how these outsiders were accusing her dearest daughter, that just stepped on her bottom line. This was not something she could or would ever tolerate!
Mother Yue took two steps forward angrily and even raised her usual gentle voice. "I'm sorry, my daughter has had such a temper since she was a child." Her eyes were cold. "She was raised spoiled by my family, so all of you can just leave if you can't stand such a temper." She pointed to the door, indicating that all of them can exit Yue Ran's ward now. "No one in the world is qualified to criticize my daughter!"
The three—Rui Qin, Jin Yao, and Jiang Yi—no longer had the cheek to continue staying inside Yue Ran's private ward, so they filed out of the room and into the hallway.
The private room was instantly filled with the crowd's whistles and loud applause.
This noise came from Yue Ran's phone and was played as soon as the door to her ward was almost closed.
After all, she needed to celebrate her win and let everyone know about it.
Yue Ran smiled in her heart and showed her approval of her mother's actions by clapping out loud.
"My dearest mother, you are awesome; I love you so much!"
Mother Yue originally thought that she had gone too far, but after hearing her precious daughter's heartwarming words, she felt that what she did was nothing. After all, who wouldn't love such a daughter?
"You have such a sweet mouth!" Mother Yue blushed and smiled softly.
"My mother is the best in this world!" Yue Ran blew kisses to Mother Yue.
Mother Yue smiled and shook her head in laughter. "Mom is not the only one who is good to you in this world; your father is also very kind to you!"
Yue Ran laughed. "Yes, I love you guys so much!"
