In the afternoon, the family went to clean the tombs and had a meal together.

Chacha had been a good girl the whole day, disgusting Wang Qihui to no end. Chen Jiamu, on the other hand, hoped that this sister, who suddenly turned terrifying, could leave as soon as possible.

The night after his birthday party, he comforted himself and decided to tell his parents what Chen Cha did to him the next day. But whenever he was facing his parents, he would think of how Chen Cha looked at him with a smile, and then recall the feeling of his face being submerged in the water, unable to breathe.

Then he would be afraid to say anything.

He had this feeling that if he didn’t do what Chen Cha said, something terrible would happen to him and even his parents wouldn’t be able to protect him.

The next day, Chen Cha would leave, so Chen Jiamu got up early in a lighter mood.

But as soon as he came downstairs, he saw Chen Cha, who had gotten up earlier than him, sitting on the sofa in the living room while holding a cup of tea and taking in small sips.

Chen Guosheng stayed at home for one day for the Qingming Festival, after which he left.

There were only the few of them and the servants in the house and Chen Cha’s attitude was no longer the same as before, as if she was the real master of the house. However, she’s quite reasonable and didn’t do anything excessive, so no one could accuse her of anything.

“Jiamu, you’re awake. Do you want to eat breakfast? Auntie Wu is still cooking, wait for a while.” Chacha saw Chen Jiamu coming downstairs and immediately greeted him.

“Oh……” Chen Jiamu was a little more confident when Chen Guosheng was present. But without him there, he and Chen Cha were the only ones in the living room so he didn’t dare to act lofty.

“Come and sit.” Chacha beckoned to him.

Chen Jiamu looked at her with complicated eyes, with equal parts of fear and probing, mixed with a hint of resentment.

Chacha just smiled.

Chen Jiamu wanted to scold her fiercely, then turned around and went upstairs in a majestic manner, but his body seemed to be frozen, he could neither open his mouth nor move.

The way Chen Cha smiled really made her look like a monster to him.

He suddenly knew what the bad guys in anime’s were supposed to look like in real life— No— Chen Cha was even more evil looking.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and just as Chen Jiamu’s psychological defense was about to collapse, Auntie Wu came out of the kitchen and said, “Breakfast is ready. You can eat now.”

“Okay.” Chacha turned her gaze away and smiled at Auntie Wu.

Auntie Wu nodded and smiled uncomfortably, looking a little restrained.

Through her two days at home, Chacha learned that Auntie Wu was taking care of her child alone after her divorce. She stayed at Chen Guosheng’s house because the salary as a servant of a richer family was relatively high.

Auntie Wu had been working there for five years now and was still full of life at the beginning.

However, the people in this family were all arrogant and liked the idea of ​​class stratification. They were very disrespectful to her and gradually turned her into a taciturn person who couldn’t fight back or retaliate when she was scolded.

She should be angry inside, but because she needed to feed her family, she could only endure.

Chen Jiamu didn’t dare to get angry with Chacha, but to Auntie Wu, who he often bossed around, he could.

He walked over to Auntie Wu, spat, and said disdainfully, “You’re almost fifty years old yet you still take so long to make breakfast. You’re really useless.”

Auntie Wu lowered her head, pursed her lips, and endured this humiliation.

Chacha called out, “Jiamu.”

Chen Jiamu had originally straightened his back, but as soon as he heard Chen Cha’s voice, he immediately trembled. He turned around stiffly and saw Chen Cha looking at him with a smile.

Chacha said, “Auntie Wu is our employee, not a slave. This relationship is equal. You can say that her cooking isn’t good and ask her to do better, but you shouldn’t insult her, understand?”

Chen Jiamu didn’t want to apologize to a useless servant, but Chen Cha’s smiling face could always evoke his inner fear of suffocation.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Auntie Wu quickly smoothed things over by saying, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Although Chen Cha had become much cordial and often helped her out, Chen Cha still had to study and couldn’t stay at home for long. After Chen Cha leaves, the mistress and her illegitimate child would make things even more difficult for her, so it’s better to smooth the matter over right now.

Chen Jiamu glanced at Auntie Wu, as if blaming her for speaking out too late.

Wang Qihui and Wei Siyun, who happened to be heading downstairs, heard their conversation. Wang Qihui became very unhappy and said in a pinched voice, “Hey, Chen Cha, no offense but you’re usually not at home and never cared about Jiamu either, how come you started educating our Jiamu just because of some insignificant servant? Are you still looking down on our Jiamu and intentionally making excuses to bully him?”

Usually when Chen Guosheng was around, Wang Qihui behaved especially tender and pitiful. But without Chen Guosheng, she acted like a mean upstart.

“What are you talking about?” Although Wei Siyun was only using Chen Cha, she was in a united front with her at this moment. She immediately retorted, “Our family’s Xiao Cha is almost an adult, why will she fight with a little child? You can eat whatever, but you can’t say whatever. You’re hurting our Xiao Cha’s feelings. She’s genuinely thinking about Jiamu. He’s still young now so he can still be corrected if he makes mistake, it will be difficult once he grows up. As his mother, do you not even care about his education? Tsk.”

The two began going back forth.

Chacha lifted the corners of her mouth. This was just like a dog biting a dog. Why rush to hurt each other when they’re both dogs?

Chacha walked to the dining table in a happy mood and started eating first.

Chen Guosheng wasn’t at home so she wouldn’t get any benefits by staying there. She planned to go back to school after breakfast.

When she was done eating, Chacha even made it a point to tell Auntie Wu that the breakfast she made today was delicious, earning her a slightly frightened, surprised, and somewhat flattered expression.

Chacha just smiled, took the things she needed, and then headed to school.

Chacha used to post a set of pictures on Weibo every day. The caption format was basically in the form of ‘white shirt + black trousers + casual shoes + white silk scarf + beach hat’.

No personal sentiment was revealed.

Nonetheless, her Weibo followers had steadily increased and was now almost at 9,000. The female protagonist’s halo was truly invincible.

Although she also intended to use this Weibo account as a marketing account, the bigger reason was still to test the waters and make it her private gossip account.

Therefore, after about half a month, she casually posted something unrelated to clothes due to boredom.

【Chacha Loves Drinking Tea:

So many prosperity courses have become popular lately. I’ve summarized their timeless strategy: Come buy my books/listen to my lectures, and I will teach you how to become a millionaire. In the end, I became a millionaire while you’re still buying books, attending lectures and staying poor.

Is it my fault? No, it’s your own fault for not learning well. How can you blame me?

I’ve told you what I know! Although I didn’t tell you the entirety of it and left out key information, I didn’t lie either, and the information I gave was correct.

It’s called, ‘I didn’t lie, but I didn’t tell everything either’.

This wave of stupid tax is very stable [Grinning squinting]】

After the cross-eyed smile became popular, it was renamed as laughing emoji. Chacha felt that ‘laughable’ was more in line with the core idea of ​​this statement.

After posting on Weibo, Chacha took a sip of water and suddenly remembered that she’s quite unlucky right now. If she didn’t rub off of Ning An’s female protagonist halo, she might get bashed.

Though she was used to it and didn’t care much.

She reopened Weibo to take a glance. She wasn’t criticized and instead got the opposite result.

On the comment section:

【You’re The Only One For Me In This Life: Damn, it’s actually like this!!! It has broadened my horizon! I almost fkn got swayed.】

【An Ordinary Passerby: Cutting off someone’s livelihood is like killing one’s parents. Chacha, please remember to protect your home address lest they come to your door, hehehe.】

【Xiao Yi’s Wife: This wave of sarcasm is as steady as Mount Tai, hahaha!】

【Beep Beep Beep: I’m following a fashion blogger, right? Why the sudden roasting?】

【Pure And Lovely: Actually letting out the ‘truth’, unfollow. [Grinning squinting]】

【XXOO: I want to see Chacha’s long legs and slender waist!】

……

Chacha replied to Pure and Lovely, 【Speaking poorly, blacklisted. [Grinning squinting]】

Pure And Lovely replied almost instantly, 【Don’t, Chacha~~~】

Chacha closed Weibo after replying to the comment. She had an idea why this outcome occurred.

It was because the midterm exam was there and she reached the plot point where she would make things difficult for Ning An again, and so her halo as the third luckiest person in the world was reactivated.

She was having so much fun pissing off that family at home that she almost forgot about it.
