Jiao Yushi looked at Chen Cha, arched his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Don’t be willful.”

It seemed that his tolerance ended there, so Chacha obediently corrected her request, saying, “Alright, okay. I don’t know much about piano music, so just play your favorite one.”

“I don’t have a favorite.”

Chacha’s smile remained unchanged. “Then play what you think sounds good.”

Jiao Yushi nodded and turned to the piano keys. He raised his hands and brought them down, and a melodious music sounded.

However, before Chacha had time to appreciate it, an angry voice came from the door, “Why the hell are you playing the piano in the middle of the night?! If you’re crazy, get treatment as soon as possible, alright?! Don’t harm us civilians who’re living peacefully!”

The sound of the piano abruptly stopped.

Chacha and Jiao Yushi looked at each other speechlessly. After a moment, they both burst out laughing.

It was impossible to play the piano and it was also impossible to talk about love. Although the atmosphere was good, neither of them had the nerve to do so. In the end, all they could do was eat snacks.

Chacha obtained evidence that Wei Siyun tried to harm her, but she had no intention of immediately threatening her.

The drunkard and the getaway driver, even if Chacha didn’t instruct them, would definitely not take the initiative to go to Wei Siyun and expose their betrayal.

Therefore, Chacha planned to keep the evidence and surprise Wei Siyun with it when necessary.

But plans always fail to keep up with changes. Chacha deliberately kept the evidence, but she didn’t expect Wei Siyun to contact her in the morning, asking Chacha to have tea with her in the afternoon.

“I’m warning you, if it’s nothing serious, don’t call me again. I’m not as idle as you are.” Chacha only went to the appointment yesterday to get a handle on Wei Siyun, which she did. She wouldn’t be spending any more time on the other party.

She’s literally earning millions per minute right now and her time was very expensive.

“Wait a moment, don’t hang up!” Wei Siyun’s voice was almost pleading, “One last time, meet me just once! Once, that’s all!”

“Heh.” Chacha chuckled lightly and her fingertips tapped on the table. “Yesterday, you found people come after me, what tricks are you going to play today? I’ll tell you directly, I have something against you in my hand. It’s the evidence that you found people to run me over. In consideration of our mother and daughter relationship, I won’t do anything to you, but if you still can’t take a hint, hum, you should know what I’ll do.”

“What?!” Wei Siyun said, “What are you babbling about?”

Chacha told her, “The people you sought sold you out.”

Wei Siyun fell silent.

She struggled for a moment before saying, “I don’t believe it. Unless you show me the evidence, you’re deliberately framing me.”

“Believe what you want.” Chacha said in a gentle tone, “I just want to tell you that if you keep this up and act recklessly, your future can only be spent in prison.”

Wei Siyun fell silent once again, and just when Chacha was about to hang up the phone, she said, “Hahaha, I know you’re not simple, so your goal is to get something against me. Actually, I’m not trying to do anything bad to you this time. I just wanted to tell you a secret.”

Chacha didn’t speak nor did she hang up the phone.

“You’re not my child!” Wei Siyun said with a lilt on her voice, full of gloating.

Chacha still said nothing.

“Did you hear what I said?” Wei Siyun asked, “Is there anything you want to say? Or are you shell-shocked?”

“I’m not your child, so what?”

“Uh……” Wei Siyun was dumbfounded. “But you’ve always thought that I’m your mother. Now that you find I am not your real mother, shouldn’t you feel confused? Don’t you feel upset? Don’t you feel sad? Don’t you want to know who your real mother is?”

“What do you want?”

It’s actually easy to understand what Wei Siyun wants. To put it simply—— money. She could even use her own daughter for it, so she definitely values money the most.

It’s just that Chacha didn’t expect that the other party would suddenly reveal the truth. Wei Siyun was making use of both her real and fake daughter. But of course, the fake daughter was more thoroughly used. Even the biological daughter was a money-making tool, much less the fake one.

Therefore, Wei Siyun’s sudden act of turning against her fake daughter surprised Chacha.

“Hehehe.” Wei Siyun regained her confidence and let out a smug laugh. She thought that Chen Cha’s question meant that she had already won.

Chacha: “……”

She really disliked people acting mystifying and wasting her time.

Wei Siyun said, “It’s very simple. I will tell you your true family background, where your relatives are, and who is the person who has been harming you behind your back.”

Chacha chuckled lightly. Wei Siyun really thought that the cards she’s holding were useful.

However, it wasn’t difficult to understand. Chacha was a person from another world and knows the plot in advance. If the original body— Forget it, the original body’s mental state was too fragile and impulsive. Unless she was under someone’s protection, she would easily lose.

Wei Siyun added, “As payment, you just need to give me money. I don’t want much, ten million is enough.”

“Tell me first how it happened. Are you the only one who knows this matter?”

“Of course it’s not just me.” Wei Siyun added, “There’s also my biological daughter.”

Chacha pretended to be surprised and asked, “H-how can this be?”

Wei Siyun snorted proudly and said, “Where’s the money? When will you give it to me?”

Chacha took a deep breath. “I need to figure out what’s going on first. If I’m satisfied with your answer, I’ll give you the money.”

Wei Siyun sneered. “Who knows if you’re recording everything? I have to say it in person.”

“Heh.” Chacha’s smile wasn’t a mockery, but a sincere and appreciative one, because she had actually recorded their conversation from the very moment she answered the call. This was a little habit of hers.

Chacha looked at her schedule and found that she had time at noon, so she said, “We can meet this noon.”

Wei Siyun said, “You decide the time and place this time, lest you think I’m trying to harm you again.”

“Meet me at the bench by the Central Square’s fountain at 12:30.” Chacha immediately thought of a location and spoke without pause. There were people coming and going in that place, and there were security guards who would make rounds from time to time. There were no cars and it was difficult to record what was being said in the hubbub, so it could also prevent the other party from recording anything.

“Okay, see you there.”

At noon, Chacha got off work early and drove to Central Square, arriving ten minutes early.

She bought an ice cream for the first time in a long time and headed to one of the bench next to the fountain. She sat there while eating the strawberry flavored ice cream and watched people come and go.

Ice cream was really good even in winter.

How long has it been since she had sat down relaxed and comfortable like this, not thinking about anything and just watching people pass by…… There were quite a lot of people there at this time.

When she finished the ice cream, Wei Siyun arrived.

Chacha saw Wei Siyun from a distance. The makeup on the woman’s face was very exaggerated, with snow-white foundation, black eyebrows, and curly hair that reached her neck looking like instant noodles—— but the quality of her hair was like the expensive instant noodles. Underneath it was a fur coat. She was of average height so it made her appear a bit short and stocky. She’s also wearing a big gold ring on her hand and she looked a bit like a wife of a gangster.

When she got closer, Chacha saw that the skin under Wei Siyun’s eyes has creases from her smile since her foundation was thickly applied, her eyebrows were drawn a little thick and her eyeshadow were like dark circles around her eyes. Her blush was the best as it was natural and light.

Wei Siyun sat directly next to Chen Cha.

Chacha looked at her and got straight to the point, “Speak, what’s going on.”

Wei Siyun explained the matter in detail and that was when Chacha felt that something was wrong. When they were talking on the phone just now, Wei Siyun was afraid that there would be a recording of their conversation. How come the other party was now telling her everything directly? It’s not like she still couldn’t record their conversation. Yet Wei Siyun appeared emboldened.

As soon as Chacha thought of this, she scanned the surrounding but found nothing unusual. There seemed to be no problem, but she had a weird feeling.

“Will your daughter give you 10 million in one go?” Chacha suddenly said, “She may or may not, but I definitely will, because I don’t lack the money at all.”

Wei Siyun gulped and her eyes drifted around. As she stood up, she showed a greedy expression as she looked at Chen Cha.

“Tell me your true purpose today.”

“Actually—” Her voice was suddenly drowned out by a scream.

“Aah—— Run!!!”

Chacha didn’t have time to care who the screaming person was and who was telling her to run. She saw a man rushing towards Wei Siyun with a knife in his hand. She stood up wanting to tell Wei Siyun to dodge, but she felt something sharp pierce her waist, followed by intense pain. She turned her head and saw a tall and thin man whose body was soaked by the water coming from the fountain. He had on a big grin as he held the knife and stabbed Chacha several times.

Passersby exclaimed in shock as someone came forward to try and stop the two assailants, but they were unrelenting and couldn’t be stopped.

Chacha heard her phone ringing. Who was calling her at this time……? What timing.

But everything happened in a split of second.

“Ahhhh!” Wei Siyun couldn’t finish her words and it turned into a scream of pain.

The two assailants obviously came together. They both have the same posture and after stabbing a few times in vital places, they pushed away the surrounding panicked people.

They run quickly, but there were many people there, including some helpful fitness enthusiast. They didn’t manage to go far before they were subdued by the crowd.

Some people watched, some called ambulance, while some called the police. The people who helped subdue the two men stayed there for a while. They held onto the assailants and waited for the police to come.

Someone recognized Chen Cha and frantically took photos and uploaded them on Weibo.

Chacha was in a lot of pain. Her brain was a little dizzy due to lack of oxygen and she had difficulty breathing. She might die at any time.

Wei Siyun’s condition was no better than Chen Cha’s, but she wasn’t as calm. She sobbed and moaned uncontrollably, her lips opened and closed, and her eyes were full of regret.

As Chacha was dying, she thought, We agreed to play mind games together, yet you’ve resorted to this method even before the climax, f*ck.

If she didn’t have the ability to rewind time, she would really die there today.

Because there’s a floor fountain behind the bench, she wasn’t on guard. This line of thinking works on normal people. Most would think that if someone wanted to commit a crime, people would’ve noticed if they walk through the floor fountain without caring if their clothes got wet. They would be regarded as a weirdo and attract the attention of the crowd. That’s why a normal sneak attack wouldn’t be done by going through a floor fountain.

Therefore, Chacha didn’t defend her back.

Moreover, the target for the crime was very clear. It was her and Wei Siyun. Who would find them an eyesore enough to want to kill them? There’s no need to think too much to know that it was the fake Chen Chacha. They were the only ones who knew that Chen Chacha was an impostor.
