Chapter 49
49 I Must Make Them Think Less Of Me
Originally, Qiao Qiao wanted to hire a nanny, but Liu Sujuan wouldn’t let her. She was used to doing work. This house was so clean and beautiful. Why would she need someone to clean it up? It was much easier than in the village.
Le Yao did not force her. With Liu Sujuan’s personality, if she really sat there and did nothing, she would probably feel uncomfortable. Besides, with an outsider around, they would also feel uncomfortable.
After coming out of Changle Garden, Qiao Qiao pulled Le Yao back to change her clothes. “Don’t let others look down on you when you go back. Come, wear this. It’s an exclusive design from Master Fei Le. It’s not on the market yet. There’s also this set of jewelry from the ‘Morning Dew’ series…”
“No, I must make them think less of me.” Le Yao shook her head and put down the expensive items. Then she found the simplest T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers to change into. “I’ve suffered high-profile losses in the past. I must keep a low profile in the future. Anyone who sees me will have to cry tears of sympathy.”
That dress alone cost millions in design fees, and that set of jewelry was a limited nine-piece set worldwide. It was worth 50 million. If she wore it out, she would crush everyone. How could she cause trouble?
Qiao Qiao frowned.
“Zhou Yunmeng has been portraying herself as a good stepmother, but what about it? Ever since I came back, she hasn’t treated me well. On the surface, she’s good to me. Now that I think about it, there’s actually nothing wrong most of the time, but the moment she opens her mouth to plead for me or put in a good word for me, she’ll make Han Guosheng even angrier.” Le Yao shook her head. Han Binglan was a fool. “Now that I’ve been abandoned, if I appear too flamboyant, won’t I be giving them face? Those who don’t know better will think that they’re taking care of me.” As she spoke, she revealed a strange smile. “I’m going to act pitiful this time. I’m a professional when it comes to causing trouble.”
Qiao Qiao’s mouth twitched, but she was still worried. “But baby, people talk…”
“Qiao Qiao, with you around, with my parents and brother around, I’m fearless.” Le Yao took the opportunity to stir up some emotions. “It’s just a few words. It’s not like I’ll lose anything. Besides, if any of them dare to come and bullsh*t in front of me, I’ll kick the men where it hurts the most, and pull out the women’s hair…”
“Haha…” Qiao Qiao slapped her thigh in delight. “Okay, that’s how it should be.”
The Han family lived in the West Mountain Villa District. It was actually not too far from Zeyu Garden, but compared to the people living in Zeyu Garden, it was a level lower.
That was how it was described in the book at the time. There were two small mountains in Xiling City, separated by a lake, one east and one west.
East Mountain was twice the size of West Mountain. However, East Mountain only had a total of twelve villas, while West Mountain had dozens.
Every villa in the East Mountain had its own name. For example, the place where Nangong Jue lived was called Zeyu Garden.
The West Mountain Villa District was divided according to the house number. For example, the Han family’s house was number 32.
Twenty years ago, Xiling City began to develop villas. The overall location of West Mountain was a little remote, and the surroundings were very desolate. Many rich people were unwilling to come over, and number 32 was the most remote one in the entire villa group.
At the time, Cui Na didn’t have much of her dowry left after founding Shengli Corporation, so she had just enough to buy the cheapest one.
However, after the second and third phases of development, this place was not the worst.
