Chapter 250: Origin of Jade_3
Nothing more than a woman born from a troupe, only able to rise after the main wife fell, Helian Yu had always looked down on that old hag from the bottom of her heart.
The opera house sang grand plays for three days straight, and now that she was on top, she feared no one would know her origins. Even though she climbed her way up, she still couldn’t change the pettiness ingrained in her very bones.
And yet, with such a lowly background, she managed to take control of the Yu family’s core and trample upon the heads of Jingzhou’s entire upper echelon.
Helian Yu deeply understood the truth that fortune and misfortune alternate in turns. Therefore, she had to make preparations. She’d had enough of Qingzhou and must seize this opportunity to orchestrate her plans well...
Helian Yu’s gaze shifted, landing on the young boy.
Her lips curved slightly, her eyes carrying a trace of arrogance.
"Xixi, staring at screens too long is bad for your eyes. Take a break and chat with Mom for a while."
Liu Runxi remained unmoved, not even lifting his head. "The day after tomorrow is the physics competition."
"Mom believes, with your ability, there won’t be any problems at all."
"That eldest young lady of the Yu family, do you still remember her? Use this chance..."
"Smack." The boy put down the tablet and raised his head, quietly looking at her.
Those pitch-black eyes stared at her with tranquility, without a ripple, like a bottomless, shadowy pond, as if seeing through all her thoughts.
