Chen Chacha had always look down on people who were poorer than her and had no interest in people whose status was lower than hers, therefore she doesn’t know any of the popular people on the Internet.

But when news about Gu Fanghua suddenly became popular, she knew about it almost immediately.

Her family’s status was similar to Gu Fanghua’s, but Gu Fanghua had looked down on her since childhood. The other party never said anything and would smile at her, but the undisguised contempt in her eyes made Chen Chacha extremely angry.

She hated Gu Fanghua, this hypocritical person and the so-called someone else’s child^[1]refers to the child your parents likes to compare you with because they are excellent in many aspects, especially in the academic performance.

Gu Fanghua’s gaze always reminded her of the days she was still in her original family. She was often looked down upon because she wasn’t as well-dressed as other children around her and her academic performance wasn’t as good.

Now, only Gu Fanghua would blatantly express her contempt and disdain for her.

She hated her so much that she wanted to kill her with her own hands, but she didn’t dare.

Therefore, she paid special attention to Gu Fanghua, thinking that one day she could step on the other party once she found some dirty information about her.

Unexpectedly, not only was Gu Fanghua still famous, a passerby named Ning An even came out of nowhere.

When she saw that photos of Ning An and Gu Fanghua filming, she went out of her way to learn about Ning An’s previous work, which made her eyes sting.

Then she got even angrier.

How could such a person with nothing to show off catch Gu Fanghua’s eyes?

She didn’t believe that Gu Fanghua accepted this movie because of money.

Then, she discovered another person called Chacha Loves Drinking Tea who was very close to Gu Fanghua and Ning An. After scrolling through this internet celebrity’s Weibo, she found that there was really nothing unique about her. She just posted some pictures and ridiculed people, but she actually attracted tens of millions of followers???

After finding out more about the other party, she found out that Chacha Loves Drinking Tea was actually her substitute as Chen Cha?

Chen Chacha never expected that the dumb girl would become so famous and even managed to hug Gu Fanghua’s thigh^[2]from ‘golden thigh’, meaning a powerful protector/backer.

In addition to feeling flustered, she was also angry.

In her opinion, ‘Chen Cha’ should definitely get worse and worse in a family where no one loves her. But she didn’t expect the other party to actually do so well on her own.

Chen Chacha’s facial muscles tightened as was her hand gripping the phone. Her fingers turned white from too much force. Then she suddenly threw the phone against the wall.

Hearing the sound of it hitting the wall, she calmed down a bit. She went to pick it up and saw that the screen was broken. Chen Chacha then casually tossed it on the sofa and opened her closet. There was a drawer inside, and she rummaged through the clothes; underneath it was another phone.

She turned it on and called the person named Leech.

As soon as the call was connected, she sharply yelled at the person on the other side of the phone, “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on Chen Cha and not let her do anything conspicuous?! Do you know that not only was she admitted to Chengda University, she also ranked first in the province?! Moreover, she’s very close to the Gu family’s child! Are you trying to anger me to death?!”

“What did you say?!” Wei Siyun’s confused voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I don’t care what you do, settle this matter. Otherwise don’t even think of getting money from me in the future!”

Wei Siyun said, “What do you mean? You want to get rid of me? Don’t even think about it in this life! Do you think that family will let you go if your identity is exposed?!”

Chen Chacha was unafraid. “What? They won’t let me go, but will they let you go?”

They weren’t allies, but rather an existence that threatens each other. Although they were related by blood, their relationship weren’t as good as that of strangers.

Wei Siyun softened her tone, “Ai, don’t be angry, I’m just saying. Leave this matter to me. It’s just that I’m a little tight on money lately……”

Chen Chacha gritted her teeth. “You-, can you act like a human being? Taking my money to pay for ducks^[3]slang for male prostitute every day, do you think I’m just picking up money on the ground?”

Wei Siyun chuckled.

Chen Chacha took a deep breath and said, “Once you resolve this matter, I will transfer you one million.”

“Sigh, fine, leave it to me.”

Outside Chengda’s library.

Jiao Yushi was standing underneath a tree while watching the scenery as he wait for Chen Cha.

They were in the same class and had basically the same curriculum, though Chen Cha also took a philosophy course along with psychology. She was now a businesswoman but her major was completely unrelated to business.

They’ve agreed to go to the company together. Chen Cha wanted to borrow a book but he wasn’t interested, so he just waited outside.

Chen Cha moved very quickly and managed to take a book within ten minutes of entering the library.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, a person suddenly ran out and called out to her.

Chen Cha stopped in her tracks. She instinctively revealed a perfect, yet unenthusiastic smile before even turning around.

Jiao Yushi watched on quietly.

The person who called out to Chen Cha was male. He looked to be about twenty years old, tall and had a large built, but he had a delicate face, exuding a sense of innocence.

The young man was fine at first, but without saying anything to Chen Cha, his face turned red and had no idea where to place his eyes and hands, looking shy and cute.

Chen Cha’s smile turned more genuine and she said something. The young man scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled stupidly. Then, Chen Cha smiled happily with squinted eyes.

So is that her type? Jiao Yushi thought to himself.

He became a bit impatient so he strode over and took Chen Cha’s hand.

The young man was startled when he saw him, and then his expression froze when he saw him holding Chen Cha’s hand.

Jiao Yushi glanced at the other person coldly, then pulled Chen Cha away.

Chacha couldn’t react for a while and followed him in a daze. She was pulled along for about ten meters before she managed to keep up with his pace.

Chacha adjusted her breathing and asked, “What is it? What’s the matter?”

She didn’t think Jiao Yushi would interrupt others for no reason. Therefore, she didn’t get angry and just asked out of curiosity.

“Nothing, I’m just tired of waiting.” Jiao Yushi was honest and let go of Chen Cha’s hand after speaking.

Chacha was speechless.

Jiao Yushi glanced at the book in her hand and asked, “What did you borrow?”

“《In the Cold of These Unfortunate Times》^[4]by Franz Kafka” Chacha said, “I’ve been meaning to read it before, but didn’t have much time. I happened to remember it so I went to borrow the book.”

Just as her words fell, her phone started ringing. She thought it was a call from the company, but didn’t expect it to be from Chen Guosheng.

Chacha picked it up.

“Chen Cha, what’s wrong with you?” Chen Guosheng’s voice was tinged with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me that you’re the provincial top scorer in the last entrance exam? And you went to Chengda University without my consent? Do you still take me, this father, seriously? You even went to show your face online. Aren’t you taking me seriously?”

Chacha’s tone was indifferent, “I’ll answer the question of whether I take you seriously. The answer is no. Satisfied?”

“What did you say?!” Chen Guosheng was almost yelling.

Chacha put down her phone and whispered to Jiao Yushi, “I’m sorry, but can you walk a little further away? I just have something to say. Family trouble, please understand.”

Jiao Yushi turned his head towards her. “I’ve heard what the person on the other side said.”

“Okay.” Chacha slowed down her pace as Chen Guosheng continued to berate her.

Although Jiao Yushi didn’t want to walk ahead, he was also unwilling to slow down and match Chen Cha’s pace just to listen to other people’s family issues. Therefore, under Chen Cha’s deliberate slow steps, the two actually put some distance between them.

Seeing that Jiao Yushi was further away, Chacha told the person on the other end of the phone, “Chen Guosheng, don’t think that I don’t know what you think of me and what you’ve been telling Jiamu. You want me to become a good for nothing who doesn’t know anything but spend money and have no substantial skill so that I can’t fight against Jiamu, am I right?”

Chen Guosheng was silent for a while, then blankly said, “W-what are you talking about…… W-why will I……”

“Look at you, how can you be so unstable at your age? Your thoughts were just exposed but your tone is already so flustered.” Chacha’s voice carried a teasing tone.

Chen Guosheng gritted his teeth. “Don’t even think about taking another penny from me in the future!”

Chacha chuckled. “I’m sorry, what are you talking about? Do you really think I appreciate your little money? I asked you for it before just for fun. Although you’ve lived for a long time, your vision has remained narrow.”

Chen Guosheng exploded in foul language.

Chacha smiled and hung up the phone.

She and Jiao Yushi went to the company together. The two companies they co-founded were located right next to each other, and the entire floor was rented by Chacha.

This was Jiao Yushi’s first time there as he had been a hands-off boss before.

When he arrived at the entrance of the community, Jiao Yushi looked at the surrounding scenery and said, “This place is nice and is also close to the school, I think I’ll just stay here as well.”

Chacha said, “That’s good. It will be convenient for you to go to the company then.”

Jiao Yushi told her, “Okay. Then I’ll trouble you to recommend me a house.”

What else can Chacha do besides nod? After all, he’s the financial backer.

Chacha and Jiao Yushi went to their company. She introduced Jiao Yushi to the staff, and after everyone said their greetings, they went back to their respective places to continue working.

Jiao Yushi just came over for an inspection. Once he was done, he told Chacha, “You’re doing great. Keep up the good work.”

With that, he gracefully left.

Chacha: “……”

This hands-off boss was really ‘good’.

After classes ended the next day, as soon as Chacha walked out of the school gate, she saw Wei Siyun who had been waiting there for who knows how long.

When Wei Siyun caught sight of her, she rushed forward with a worked up expression, attracting other people’s attention.

Chacha watched on.

Wei Siyun arrived in front of her pushed her fiercely while roaring, “Chen Cha, what’s the use of giving birth to you?! Do you want me to die?!”

Passersby who were about to walk away stopped one after another. Chen Cha was famous in various departments as soon as she came to Chengda University. She was undoubtedly selected as the campus beauty. She had good grades and was a nice person, so no one had said anything bad about her so far.

She was surrounded by an intriguing aura.

Chacha was pushed back a few steps and staggered. She almost fell. Fortunately, Jiao Yushi, who was walking with her, helped her stabilize herself.

Chacha didn’t bother to tidy up her messed up clothes. Her eyes turned red and she asked sadly, “Are you asking for money again? Besides asking me for money, you won’t normally say you’re my mother…… “

She choked and her tears fell.

When going against a shrew, one must strike first so that the other party had no place to say anything even if they’re justified.

People around started pointing and some even took out their phones to capture the moment.

“What’s going on?”

“Wow, it turns out Chen Cha is having a bad time at home.”

“What kind of mother is that?”

Wei Siyun panicked as she listened to the voices around them. She became furious and raised her hand to hit Chacha, whose eyes widened, fear and confusion written on her face.

Jiao Yushi reached out to stop Wei Siyun’s hand that was about to slap Chen Cha’s face.
