When Chacha saw that the girl didn’t notice anyone coming in, she silently pulled Jiao Yushi back a step and gently closed the door.

Jiao Yushi gave her a confused look and Chacha lowered her voice to say, “She’ll be embarrassed if she saw us. Let’s do it again.”

Chacha knocked on the door.

The girl inside trembled, turned her head to see that the door was closed, and breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, she wondered if she had closed it?

The doubt lasted for an instant and she immediately threw it in the back of her mind. She quickly took off the costume she was wearing and hung it on the rack nearby.

She straightened her expression and walked towards the door to open it with a beautiful and gentle smile. Then she saw two good-looking and familiar faces.

Chacha smiled gently and asked, “Hello, I’d like to join the opera club. Are you still recruiting members?”

“Ah, yes.” The girl was quite pretty. She had almond eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, and a small face, but strangely doesn’t have the stunning effect at first glance. She’s the delicate and attractive-looking type.

“Come, come, come, sit over here.” The girl asked them to sit down with a very gentle tone. She opened the drawer and took out a form. “My name is Lu Caiwei. You can just call me Caiwei. Come, fill out the form, then you’ll be one of us.”

Chacha let out a soft laugh. She took the form and pen handed over by Lu Caiwei, and said, “Okay, just a moment.”

“Ai, no need to be polite.” Lu Caiwei turned to Jiao Yushi and asked him, “This Student, you’re a good fit for our opera club. Do you want to join us as well? You may not like opera now, but when you and your companions sweat together, perform well together, and make costumes together, you will understand the charm of opera.”

Jiao Yushi said indifferently, “No, thanks.”

After an unsuccessful persuasion, as if she saw some stubborn prodigal son, Lu Caiwei let out a sad and melancholic sigh.

Chacha filled out the form with a smile.

Lu Caiwei’s persuasion of Jiao Yushi was fruitless and she has nothing else to do, so she asked, “Student Chen Cha, I’ve seen the video of you kicking that villain yesterday. How did you know that someone’s coming from behind? And your kick is very beautiful, have you practiced before?”

“I heard his footsteps.” Chacha added, “I’ve indeed practiced.”

“Wow! You’re amazing.” Lu Caiwei’s eyes lit up.

Chacha smiled modestly.

After filling out the form, Lu Caiwei put it away without even looking at it. She held Chen Cha’s hand familiarly and said full of enthusiasm, “You’re one of us now. I’ll invite you to join the club’s QQ group later. We notify every happening through there. If you don’t have one, just apply, then send me your QQ number. Come, let’s exchange phone numbers. By the way, are you and Student Jiao Yushi really a couple?”

Chacha handed the other party her phone while saying, “No, we’re just friends. Here, please put in your number.”

“Rest assured, I will keep it secret for you.” Lu Caiwei took Chen Cha’s phone and said as she put on her number, “Otherwise, if students at school know that you’re still single, they’ll approach you to the point that you’ll have no time to study.”

“Huh, will they?” Chacha said, “The two of us aren’t always together before and life was still pretty quiet.”

Lu Caiwei said, “I’m just exaggerating a bit.”

Chacha laughed.

After joining the opera club, Chacha didn’t rush to get close to Lu Caiwei as her evening schedule was to go out for dinner with Jiao Yushi.

Moreover, being overly enthusiastic during the first meeting, unless it’s one’s nature to be so, would make people think she had other intentions.

Chacha didn’t look like an effortlessly friendly person. If she suddenly becomes too enthusiastic, it would appear like she’s cooking up some kind of scheme no matter how one looked at it.

Therefore, it’s a good choice to stay put for now.

The two randomly chose a restaurant, and while chatting, Chacha learned that Wei Siyun was currently in the hospital owned by Jiao Yushi’s friend’s father.

It was a private hospital where the medical expenses were very expensive, but the service, equipment, scenery, and security were good.

It was said that Wei Siyun herself strongly requested to be transferred to the private hospital due to security reasons. However, she didn’t have to do so since there’s an attempted murder. The police would send people to protect her until the case was completely resolved.

After dinner, Chacha proposed to go visit Wei Siyun together. As for whether Wei Siyun was resting or not, it didn’t matter. She would just scream either way.

Wei Siyun stayed in the VIP ward at her own expense. When Chacha arrived, the other party was on the phone. The door of the ward was unlocked. Chacha knocked on the door twice but there was no response, so she pushed it open and saw Wei Siyun lying on her side with her back to the door.

The other party had lost a lot of blood and was unconscious for about ten hours. When she woke up, the first thing she did was ask for her phone and laptop. She told the new housekeeper to send it over and stared at the screen all day long.

“I’m seriously ill, come and see me…… Are all people in your establishment like this? As a cowherd boy^[1]male prostitute, at least take a look at your customer and see what’s going on with them…… I can give you money, lots of it…… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have misjudged you…… Mm, mm, mm, I’ll text you later then.”

Chacha: “……” Is she asking for so much money just to buy a cowherd boy’s time?

Jiao Yushi: “……” I shouldn’t be here, I should be at home.

Both of them have their own thoughts in their minds, but they both have good mentality. Even if they’ve scolded a thousand times inwardly, they could still remain gentle and polite on the surface without letting anyone notice the slightest clue.

Chacha originally wanted to silently exit with Jiao Yushi, close the door and knock again, but on second thought, she didn’t need to establish a good relationship with Wei Siyun.

A good-for-nothing woman like this could be treated as one pleased. Just give her money.

In Wei Siyun’s view, there was nothing important apart from money. Face and self-esteem could be discarded.

“Cough, cough.” Chacha made a sound.

Wei Siyun, who was about to call someone else, stiffened. She looked back at Chacha, and her face relaxed. She said, “It’s you. What do you want from me?”

Chacha showed a gentle smile, but before she could say anything, Wei Siyun coldly added, “What? Are you here to laugh at me? Hehe, let me tell you, I have eaten more salt than you have walked^[2]the right sentence should be ‘I have crossed more bridges than you have walked. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice’, indicating that the speaker believes that his/her life experience … Continue reading, it’s not your turn to laugh at me.”

“Hehe.” Chacha chuckled and moved a stool in front of Wei Siyun, her back leaning against the wall. There’s a window on the right, and trees and sky could be seen from beyond.

Chen Cha was just sitting casually, yet she looked so beautiful like a painting. Her appearance was truly versatile. No matter the scene, wherever she stands there, she could only be described with words such as good-looking, beautiful, and stunning.

Jiao Yushi was a little disgusted to sit in a position where Wei Siyun’s gaze was directed at, so he sat behind Wei Siyun and opposite Chen Cha. He could enjoy Chen Cha’s beauty from there, so it was an excellent location.

After laughing, Chacha said gently, “Mrs. Wei, do you think all people are like that? Indeed, once people get old, their minds will become muddled and their eyesight blurry. Afraid of being looked down upon by people, every time they see someone, they would take a jab at them. Is it so they won’t be underestimated?”

“What did you say?!” Wei Siyun was furious. She hated it the most when people call her old. She liked being young, liked herself to be young, and hated others for being young.

Her youthful years were all wasted on that scumbag Chen Guosheng. Even when with her age, she still couldn’t live in ease and comfort. That old scumbag Chen Guosheng actually raised mistresses outside and even brought one into the house. She usually doesn’t say anything, but in fact, she was extremely angry in her heart and wanted to burn those sl*ts to death.

But she didn’t have the guts. She was used to submitting to Chen Guosheng and tolerating him, so even if she was evil enough, she still didn’t dare to rebel against him.

That was the reason why she uses even her own daughter and had little affection for her. It was also the reason why even though she spends time with her fake daughter day and night, she had no love for her at all.

She hated all creatures younger than herself, except for pretty boys who could provide her pleasure.

Chacha cheerfully soothed the other party, “Don’t be angry, I’m just wondering to myself. Right, the people who attacked us were sent by your biological daughter?”

When Jiao Yushi heard her words, he was very surprised. His eyes widened, but it was so slight that it was impossible to tell without careful observation.

The gentle smile on Chen Cha’s face looked pure and harmless that anyone who sees it couldn’t help but feel soft-hearted.

Unfortunately, this wouldn’t work on Wei Siyun. She snorted coldly and laughed in a sinister way, before finally saying, “So what if it is and what if it isn’t? You’re not my biological child, why should I tell you?”

Chacha’s smile remained unchanged. “Hmm? How can you tolerate a daughter who even wants to have you killed? I didn’t know you’re such a generous person.”

Previously, Wei Siyun only said so much to Chen Cha in order to lure her outside, but now, the matter was over and the plan still failed. Wei Siyun naturally knew she couldn’t say more.

Chacha added, “Although it failed this time, hiring someone to kill people can be done at any time. As long as one have money, one can find people willing who will kill for them, no matter whether they’re professional or not. Maybe you’ll go out to buy pancakes and there’s a killer pretending to be a vendor. But it doesn’t matter to me. Anyway, I’m very rich and can let others do whatever they want. Moreover, I don’t know who your daughter is, so she probably won’t come after me for the time being. But you’re different. You hold a handle against your daughter in your hand. She must be eager to permanently silent you.”

Chacha sighed. “We were obviously mother and daughter, why did it end up like this? But even though we aren’t related by blood, we still used to be family in name, so I’ll pray that you can live well.”

After saying that, Chacha stood up.

Wei Siyun, who originally intended to remain mum, was so frightened that her courage almost shattered when she heard Chen Cha’s words. That’s right. Why didn’t she think that if that little beast could order someone to do it once, she wouldn’t do it again? That little beast might be waiting for the police to go back and for the case to be closed. Then everything would return to normal and anyone could come kill her.

“Wait, wait, wait, wait! I know I was wrong, don’t go!” Wei Siyun frantically shouted. She struggled to hold on to Chen Cha and refused to let go. Even when she was sweating from the pain, she still wouldn’t release her hand. She wailed and shouted as if Chen Cha had bullied her.

It wasn’t a pretty sight.

The policemen guarding outside broke into the door and saw the half-disabled Wei Siyun holding Chen Cha at a twisted angle to prevent the latter from leaving. They couldn’t help but freeze and asked, “What’s going on?”

Chacha explained with a smile, “She wanted me to pay for the medical bills……”

Her voice gradually faded and she didn’t continue talking.

There’s no need to mention the rest. The young police officers who know what happened and were aware of the gossip online also came up with a lot of stories in their own minds.
