Xu Yi waited in the car for more than six hours before his master finally appeared.
More than six hours…
What was he doing?
Xu Yi naturally didn't dare to probe and he quickly opened the door of the back seat.
In the car, Xu Yi couldn't help but examine the man sitting at the back through the rearview mirror.
Si Yehan supported his forehead with a finger, his handsome face coated with a layer of frost that was reflected on the black window of the car.
Master's complexion looked much better than before, but his expression didn't bode well.
Good complexion yet bad expression?
So what did the master experience in those six hours?
After the love letter incident, things seemed quite peaceful between the two of them.
Thinking about the love letter, Xu Yi immediately frowned.
After much hesitating, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you sure you want to keep that Shen Mengqi around?"
He had already checked this woman's background--her father was the boss of a small company and had little business dealings with the Ye family. Initially, Shen Mengqi got close to Ye Wanwan and her brother because Mr Shen incited it, just so he could have a closer relationship with Ye Shaoting.
Shen Mengqi didn't let him down--she gained the trust of Ye Wanwan and even settled things with Ye Mufan.
Seeing that Si Yehan wasn't replying, Xu Yi hesitated for a moment and continued, "This girl has bad intentions for staying by Ms Ye's side. She deliberately interfered with the relationship between you and Ms Ye. Do you really want such a person to continue being by Ms Ye's side? Although she's just a little girl, nothing to be afraid of, her influence on Ms Ye is too great."
Si Yehan listened and his gaze slowly turned icy and shot a razor-sharp look forward, "You think that the relationship between us could be ended by just anybody?"
Xu Yi's back stiffened from that cold glare and he wished he could cry to the heavens— Exaggeration much? Master, where'd you get the confidence to actually think that your relationship with Ms Ye is strong?
Too bad he didn't have the guts to say all these things.
In the quiet of the back seat, the man's face kept changing in the darkness. After some time, he finally closed his eyes and suppressed the almost uncontrollable rage to kill.
Seeing this, Xu Yi understood in his heart.
Shen Mengqi was Ye Wanwan's only support after all.
Ye Wanwan had such a stubborn temperament but was willing to submit to the master and plead for his help on Shen Mengqi's behalf.
Previously, she even starved for three days to allow Shen Mengqi to freely enter and leave Jin garden.
If master laid a hand on Shen Mengqi, that would just cause a world war!
Although Shen Mengqi had some ill intentions, her role was irreplaceable. If not for Shen Mengqi, that Ye Wanwan would've run away so many times.
Actually, he still didn't quite understand why his master was so attached to Ye Wanwan--could it be because she was unattainable?
Right now, I can only wish that Ye Wanwan straightens out her thinking. This way, even with Shen Mengqi's troublemaking, it won't be a problem. Wasn't that the case for the love letter incident previously?
Maybe after master finally gets this girl, he'll realise that there was nothing special about her after all.
The next morning.
When Ye Wanwan woke up, Si Yehan was no longer around and she didn't know what time he had left.
He truly comes and goes like a shadow.
Thinking about what happened last night, Ye Wanwan felt quite disheartened.
Maybe Si Yehan didn't care about what Shen Mengqi had said and he simply planted her next to Ye Wanwan to monitor her?
Looks like I need to be more careful and prevent Shen Mengqi from getting the upper hand.
The good thing was that she knew Shen Mengqi's true colours and would no longer be brainwashed by her. It wouldn't be so easy for Shen Mengqi to cause trouble for her again.
She would slowly let Si Yehan know that his informant had lost its effectiveness…
After she thought that through, Ye Wanwan was relieved and got up to get ready for the day.
The green wig and body tattoos were back in business. Wearing a t-shirt studded with sequins, distressed pants with more than ten holes complete with Gothic makeup, her look stood out.
The amount of head turns she received also proved her shocking appearance.
On the way to the canteen, she bumped into Shen Mengqi.
"Wanwan, I was about to find you, let's have breakfast together!" Shen Mengqi immediately hooked arms with her intimately.
Looking at Ye Wanwan's look, Shen Mengqi's eyes lit up and appeared to be very satisfied.
Seems like Ye Wanwan did listen to what I said last night!
When they arrived at the canteen, all the students around them were watching and whispering.
"Look, look! Ye Wanwan brought her ugliness to the next level again!"
"Mengqi's too kind to still be with that ugly freak! These two people standing together reminds me of the Beauty and the Beast!"
"Stop saying that you guys. This ugly freak is still here not only because she topped the class, she even surpassed class beauty Cheng Xue and art committee member Han Xiao Ru to be Si Xia's partner in the play!
"Damn! For real? This ugly freak is so scheming, don't tell me she's obsessed with my dream guy!"
…
Hearing the discussion around them, Shen Mengqi eyes brightened.
Could it be that Ye Wanwan had no more feelings for Gu Yueze all of a sudden because of Si Xia…
Shen Mengqi said with a laugh, "Oh yes, Wanwan, I haven't congratulated you! I heard that you topped the class for this exam?"
In front of Ye Wanwan was a large bowl of sweet potato purple rice porridge, two big meat buns, and a crepe with three pieces of meat, two eggs, a ham sausage, and fruit. She replied casually while eating, "Well, it was just a test, no biggie."
Shen Mengqi knew that Ye Wanwan had a strong memory, but after she found out she topped the class, she was still very surprised, "Didn't you say that you hate studying? Why are you working so hard all of a sudden?"
Ye Wanwan took a bite of her bun, "I do hate it. I hate everything that's not challenging."
Shen Mengqi's face turned dark and almost choked on her food by that remark.
She studied so hard every single day to stay within the top ten in class. She was only third in class with her best efforts. This time, she didn't maintain her position and fell to ninth place. But Ye Wanwan actually topped the class so effortlessly?
Shen Mengqi suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart. So what if you have good grades? The Ye family's no longer the same Ye family that belonged to Ye Shaoting and Ye Wanwan's no longer that glamorous rich family's daughter. The Ye Wanwan now isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!
"Then what's with you and Si Xia? Did you fall for Si Xia?" Shen Mengqi finally reached the topic she was dying to know about.
After all, Ye Wanwan shared a desk with Si Xia before. Could it be that during that period, Ye Wanwan started to develop feelings for Si Xia?
Ye Wanwan squinted her eyes slightly after hearing that.
It seems like I have to settle the issue with Si Xia quickly, otherwise, Shen Mengqi will use it for an essay.
"I'm not interested." Ye Wanwan replied nonchalantly.
