Chapter 9: The Best Way to Get Back at a Jerk is to Become His Aunt

Wen Qianqian was startled by Zhou Zimu and said, baffled, "Jiang Yi and... my uncle? How is that possible, how could my uncle possibly be here?"

Zhou Zimu was confident that he hadn't mistaken the man he'd seen more than once on financial news on TV – it was Wen Suihan, and he couldn't have been wrong.

Yet, he couldn't understand how Jiang Yi could know Wen Suihan.

And judging from the tone and behavior of their conversation just now, they seemed quite familiar with each other?!

Zhou Zimu was still in shock, unable to recover, when He Gu just happened to come out in his riding clothes.

Upon seeing Zhou Zimu, He Gu immediately rolled his eyes, "Damn it, no wonder I stepped in dog shit this morning, turns out it was waiting right here for me."

He approached Zhou Zimu and said, "Zhou Zimu, got a new girlfriend? Wow, she's really... I don't even know where to start praising her. But she does resemble a Filipino maid we used to have, buddy, your taste is 'really something'."

After speaking, he didn't forget to give Zhou Zimu a sarcastic thumbs up.

Wen Qianqian's lips had already tightened into a line, feeling most insecure about not being pretty enough, despite all her efforts to take care of herself.

Seeing Wen Qianqian's tears falling, He Gu hurriedly made an excuse, muttering, "Shit, where did Jiang Yi run off to?" as he turned on his heel and bolted.

"Can you please stop crying at the drop of a hat? It's irritating."

Zhou Zimu looked at Wen Qianqian unhappily, and eventually couldn't help but blurt that out.

Wen Qianqian looked at him in shock, as if the Zhou Zimu before her had become a different person.

After a while, Zhou Zimu took a deep breath, walked back to Wen Qianqian, took her hand, and said, "Sorry, I was in a bad mood just now, I apologize."

Wen Qianqian cried even harder and ran off, leaving Zhou Zimu alone, towards the entrance of the equestrian field.

Seeing this, Zhou Zimu could only chase after her.

-

Out of Zhou Zimu and Wen Qianqian's sight, Wen Suihan relaxed his grip.

Jiang Yi, a bit embarrassed, stepped back and maintained a distance from Wen Suihan before speaking, "Thank you for helping me out."

Wen Suihan was surprised by her step back and asked with a smile, "Were you bullied?"

Jiang Yi lifted her head high again, stubbornly, and said, "Yeah."

Seeing Jiang Yi's cute mix of timidness and defiance, Wen Suihan's eyes and brows lit up with amusement.

He said in a naturally deep voice, "Then... do you want to get back at them?"

At those words, Jiang Yi's eyes seemed to light up, and she nodded vigorously.

Wen Suihan's smile deepened, "Need my help?"

Jiang Yi refused proudly, "That won't be necessary, besides, you wouldn't be of much help anyway, I have to deal with my own problems."

"So confident?" Wen Suihan said with a hint of skepticism.

Jiang Yi wasn't actually confident, she just wasn't used to showing weakness or compromising in front of others.

Soon, He Gu caught up with them.

Jiang Yi said to Wen Suihan, "Thanks for today. Also, I hope you won't mention this to my grandfather, okay? My friend's here, so I'm going, bye."

"Okay," Wen Suihan replied.

Jiang Yi left Wen Suihan behind and walked toward He Gu, who wasn't far away.

Just as Wen Suihan was turning around, Jiang Yi's voice rang out again from behind him, addressing the tall boy.

Jiang Yi said to He Gu, "He Gu, do you know the best way to get back at a mistress and a scumbag? If that scumbag wants to call Wen Suihan 'uncle' together with his mistress, then I'll become their aunt!"

He Gu was baffled, "Huh? What?"

Wen Suihan, who was a short distance away, also stopped in his tracks and turned around, "???"
