The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Zhao Yingzi looked up suspiciously from her tablet and glanced at her son, then deliberately looked at the sky outside.

The slightly exaggerated action seemed to say: Huh, the sun didn’t rise from the west.

He Tiantian gave a wry smile and called out helplessly: "Mom—"

The trailing tone was intentionally stretched to show the helplessness of her being the "son."

Seeing her like this, Zhao Yingzi became even more puzzled.

She sized up He Tiantian and blurted out, "Su Hetian, have you been possessed? Or time-traveled?"

Her son, always so gentle and refined, how could he make such a wry face and act coy?

He Tiantian had three black lines slide down her forehead, "Mom, you know about these things?"

Even knowing about time-traveling and body possession?

Zhao Yingzi rolled her eyes very ungracefully and tossed the tablet onto the coffee table.

The tablet’s screen, still lit, was showing a certain reading page.

Wow, the real mother is also someone who loves to read web novels.

Zhao Yingzi thought her son was making a fuss, coldly snorted: "Your mom was born in the ’80s, not some stubborn old fossil stuck in the past!"

She was a bona fide member of the ’80s generation.

And the titles like "Post-XX" in Hua Country also started with those born in the ’80s.

This was the generation called little emperors, the broken generation, the rebellious and self-centered generation.

They experienced the rise of the internet, witnessed the emergence of a new era, they were once the trendsetters of their time.

Many of the popular things now are just the leftovers from these old babies!

He Tiantian hurriedly made a surrender gesture, "Mom, I was wrong!"

She really shouldn’t have underestimated her real mother, an ’80s child.

Zhao Yingzi became even more curious, she sat up straight, staring fixedly at He Tiantian: "You—"

Are you really my son?

The son who always spoke like a gentleman, referring to kindness and benevolence, a Holy Father-type who had "Kong Rong letting his pears" on his mind?!

"Mom, in the afternoon, I went to the rooftop and happened to come across a girl who was trying to end her life..."

He Tiantian knew she had to find an excuse for her "transformation."

Facing Zhao Yingzi’s gaze, He Tiantian sat across from her with a calm expression, mentioning Ye Beibei with a mix of truth and lies.

"Oh, that child of the Ye Family, I’ve heard about—"

Upon hearing Ye Beibei’s name, Zhao Yingzi thought for a moment and remembered the slightly pitiful young girl.

She had heard about the Ye family’s matters.

The Qiu Family counts as wealthy, maybe not as much as the Zhao Family, but they’re not nouveau riche either.

It’s just that the Qiu Family and the Zhao Family don’t have any marital connections, their businesses have no crossover.

Zhao Yingzi wasn’t very familiar with Qiu Wanting, at most having seen her several times at public events.

But, Qiu Wanting was well-known in the wealthy circles.

Not because she was particularly good-looking, or had outstanding abilities.

But because as a legitimate eldest miss, with so many eligible bachelors to choose from, she insisted on hooking up with a married man with a child.

There are mistresses in wealthy families, mostly gold diggers who run off to be lovers to wealthy men for money.

But Qiu Wanting was definitely an anomaly, bringing her own money, eagerly pursuing a married man to be his mistress.

It was just that the original wife wasn’t of high status and didn’t make a fuss.

Otherwise, Qiu Wanting would definitely have trended online, becoming an annual oddball figure.

However, after Qiu Wanting got married, she toned down significantly.

Not only gentle to her husband but also very good to her stepson, a clear model of motherly kindness and filial piety, which restored a lot of her reputation.

But some older folks, when mentioning what happened back then, still had disapproving looks.

Like Zhao Yingzi, who was a few years older than Qiu Wanting, and barely considered a peer.

For this "unique" eldest miss, she truly looked down upon her.

Even though Qiu Wanting has cleaned up her act in recent years, graciously taking in her husband’s ex-wife’s child for better care, Zhao Yingzi hasn’t changed her opinion of her.

When the root is bad, no matter how well-disguised the branches and leaves, what use is it?

"Wait, did you just say that child wanted to end her life?"

Recalling the past in her mind, Zhao Yingzi suddenly realized.

When her son brought up Ye Beibei, he seemed to say "wanted to end her life."

Oh my, it couldn’t be what she was thinking, could it?

That child is so young, how could she be so troubled?

However, Zhao Yingzi, who was born into a wealthy family, knew some of the methods rich wives use to torment others.

Not beating or scolding; such acts are too crude and easily leave evidence.
