Chapter 33: Being the Boss’s Woman (7-2)

5:40 PM.

Hua Baihe was lazily half-lying on the sofa in her living room. She had first finished a small pudding cake, then had successively devoured four bags of snacks, waiting for classmate Yun Yeman to come back and ask her about her date.

But before the Child of Destiny returned, the great demon Yin Xiao arrived first.

The moment he entered, he heard the very familiar background music, pulled Uncle Bo over, and asked, “How long has she been watching?”

Uncle Bo smiled and thought about how to answer this question.

But he had only hesitated for a second when Yin Xiao noticed something was wrong. He immediately strode to the coffee table, picked up the remote control, and turned it off.

Hua Baihe immediately sat up straight, a fawning smile on her face. “Oh, Dad, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for so long!”

Yin Xiao’s face was blank. “From last night until now?”

Hua Baihe’s psychological quality was very strong. “How could that be? I went to bed obediently last night, right, Uncle Bo?”

Uncle Bo gave a weary and tired smile. “Yes.”

When Yun Yeman returned home, she was met with a person who rushed towards her, and in a second, had pulled her in front of her, standing behind her and saying in a loud voice, “Dad, Dad, there’s an outsider here now. You can’t hit me. Otherwise, I’ll be so embarrassed!”

Yin Xiao, who had been inexplicably framed as a ‘parent who hits his child,’ was so angry he laughed. He stood where he was, raised a hand, and ran his fingers through his hair.

“The next time I find you staying up all night watching cartoons—”

He said, “I’ll dock your allowance for next month.”

Yun Yeman had been nervous when she heard Hua Baihe’s words, her whole body tensed, afraid that this legendary big boss Yin would beat her up along with his daughter.

Fortunately, he didn’t. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief and stiffly moved away from Hua Baihe’s side.

And Hua Baihe had no time to communicate with this temporary meat shield. She was busy wagging her tail at Yin Xiao. “Hmph! You say you’re going to dock my allowance now. When my placement test results come out in a couple of days, you’ll be trembling as you give me my reward!”

Hearing this, Yin Xiao’s anger was choked back. He looked at her suspiciously.

“The students of Yun Ding are all geniuses. Are you sure you can get first in the class?”

Hua Baihe tried not to show her smugness, but in reality, she wanted to shake with excitement. “It’s no problem to barely get first in the grade.”

Yin Xiao wasn’t very convinced.

But his daughter’s grades had always been quite good. So he thought for a moment, seriously. “How about this? If you can really get first in the grade, that piece of imperial green jadeite I bought at auction last time, I’ll have the bank put it under your name.”

Hua Baihe: “…???”

Wait, this imperial green jadeite, is it the one she remembered Yin Xiao having…?

Her entire expression froze.

Yun Yeman, who had just reached the door of her room in the distance, paused her steps. Her first impression of jadeite was that it was quite expensive. Her second impression was of the jade in the gold shops on the first floor of the mall.

The next second, she heard Yin Zhi’s slightly trembling voice. “…Dad, are you talking about the one that was auctioned for one hundred and twenty million?”

It was the first time in her life that Yun Yeman had heard this amount. She mechanically walked forward, and with a thud, she bumped into the door panel she had forgotten to open, startling Qi Ran, who was opening the door from the inside.

Yin Xiao’s hearty laughter came from the living room. “That’s not it. I’m saving that one for your dowry. It’s a bit smaller, one I saw at an auction with my brothers the other day. The quality is not bad, but it’s a little small, about forty million.”

Hua Baihe breathed a sigh of relief, then paused again.

“Dowry? That won’t do. What if I don’t like anyone? Won’t I have to say goodbye to this one hundred million?”

Yin Xiao was amused by her unfounded worries. After a moment, he waved a hand and said, “Fine. On your twentieth birthday, I’ll give it to you. But you have to hire a top jewelry designer to design it. No messing around.”

Hua Baihe hastily agreed and, with a happy rush, ran to Yin Xiao, stood on her toes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a big mwah.

To have come to this world and met a father who doted on her so unconditionally, she was truly happy and felt very lucky. She even often wished that the mission would be completed a little slower, so she could spend more time with this father.

On the other side of a wall, Yun Yeman spread open her book in her room, listening to the conversation between Yin Xiao and Yin Zhi in the living room, but she couldn’t read a single word for a long time.

“Here, I saw this when I was out yesterday. Don’t you like to watch cartoons? Take this set of genuine discs. But don’t stay up all night next time.”

“Oh, oh, oh! Dad is the best in the world~”

This was a completely different family from hers.

It was only now that she so deeply realized that she couldn’t help but feel a little envious from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps not a little, but very, very envious.

**

At night, because Yun Yeman needed to spend an hour every day tutoring her daughter, according to the time set by Yin Xiao, she needed to go to Yin Zhi’s room at 8:30 PM.

Hua Baihe was not at all surprised when she came in. She was originally too lazy to look up, but for the sake of her mission progress, she reluctantly lifted her eyelids to look at the emotional progress bar above Yun Yeman’s head.

0.

…Where was the love at first sight? The love at second sight? The love at third sight?

Yun Yeman watched her stare at her with a strange look for a long time and inexplicably felt a chill. She was about to tell her to stop looking when she heard the other ask:

“You met Meng Qitian today. Any thoughts? He’s the male god of Class 2.”

Yun Yeman frowned and thought for a long time.

Then she said a sentence:

“He got three questions wrong in the math homework. Two of them used the wrong formula, and the other was a low-level calculation error, where he actually calculated 2 squared as 8.”

When she said ‘low-level calculation error,’ a hint of speechlessness flashed in her eyes, as if she had never seen such a poor student.

Hua Baihe was so shocked by her overflowing top-student aura that she was speechless for a long time.

Could it be…

The person she should be tutoring was not Wild Grass, but that Meng Qitian?

Yun Yeman watched her expression change complexly and had no interest in continuing to watch her. She just pulled out her chair and sat down to study. Anyway, if Hua Baihe asked her a question, she would answer. If not, then so be it.

Yun Yeman had just written ‘In the northern darkness there is a fish, and his name is Kun,’ when she heard a slow sentence from the side.

“I take back what I said before about you being incompetent.”

Yun Yeman turned to look at her.

Hua Baihe, like the ancients, cupped her hands at her. “…Your ability to be single from birth is truly admirable.”

Yun Yeman didn’t quite understand at first, but she knew it wasn’t a compliment, so she continued to study with her head down.

**

Two days later, Monday.

Hua Baihe once again recognized the consequences of Wild Grass’s wrath.

The morning self-study session was homeroom teacher Zuo Qinrong’s English. After the students had routinely read for twenty minutes, she pulled open the whiteboard, revealing the large projection screen behind it.

On it was impressively written the rankings of this placement test:

Total score: 1050.

From top to bottom:

Yun Yeman: Chinese 142, Math 150, English 148, Politics 99, History 99, Geography 100, Physics 100, Chemistry 100, Biology 100.

Total score: 1038, Rank 1.

Yin Zhi: Chinese 145, Math 150, English 146, Politics 98, History 98, Geography 100, Physics 100, Chemistry 100, Biology 100.

Total score: 1037, Rank 2.

Lin Wenfang: Chinese 125, Math… Total score 956, Rank 3.

**

Seeing the first two names and the numbers that followed, the whole class was shocked.

Sounds of surprise came from the front. “Holy shit, a score of over a thousand? A pervert? It couldn’t be cheating, ugh—”

“Are you crazy? The first is that Wild Grass. She and big boss Yin Zhi weren’t even in the same exam room. How did she cheat? Who did she cheat off of? Tell me, who are you trying to frame?”

“Holy shit, why do I suddenly feel a shiver down my spine? Deskmate, look, my goosebumps are all up!”

Amidst these scattered sounds, Hua Baihe’s expression was quite numb.

A one-point difference.

She had been humiliated by Yun Yeman by one point.

God knows, in a high school with a full score of 1050, a pervert who could get over 1000 was almost non-existent. Over 980 was already very impressive. She thought she was awesome enough!

Absolutely able to crush the entire Yun Ding Middle School!

But!

Hua Baihe felt as if she were watching forty million, which had been cooked in a pot, suddenly fly away.

“System! Didn’t you say the Child of Destiny was a slacker! Don’t play dumb, come out!”

The System was also very innocent. “Meow meow meow? Maybe her learning conditions suddenly improved, and she had more time to review, so…?”

The implication was, wasn’t this all your doing?

Hua Baihe was very tired and couldn’t laugh.

She lay on her desk, depressed all day, with no desire to talk to the true top student disguised as a slacker beside her.

Because big boss Yin Zhi’s mood was very low, the students of Class 1 returned to the state they had been in on the day Hua Baihe had just transferred, all walking on eggshells, afraid that if they breathed too loudly, they would be caught and beaten up to vent her anger.

At the same time, people kept looking at Yun Yeman with a look of ‘you’re done for,’ ‘you’re just one step away from being beaten.’

Yun Yeman’s expression was as blank as ever.

But that didn’t mean she wasn’t panicking on the inside.

If Hua Baihe had really gotten angry and taken it out on her, she would have felt it was normal. After all, she had held a grudge before the exam and had decided to let this arrogant person have a taste of her own medicine.

But…

Her competition with the other had made Yin Zhi lose a hundred million…

Oh no, a forty-million reward.

Yun Yeman thought from her poor person’s perspective and felt that she might have made a mortal enemy of the other.

She had been mentally preparing herself all day and finally, at the end of school, called out to the person who was lazily walking in front of her.

“Hey.”

Hua Baihe stopped at her words and turned to look at her.

Actually, she didn’t want that reward that much. After all, this was not her own world. Maybe one day she would close her eyes and wake up in a remote mountain village.

But she had been listening to the decreasing “Child of Destiny’s affection level for you is: -70, blackening state lifted,” “Child of Destiny’s affection level for you is: -53” all day, which had indeed greatly alleviated her depression.

The person who had walked out of the academic building was standing by a pillar, in the shadow, keeping a certain distance from her, looking at her from afar, as if she had been brewing for a long time. Though her face was still a mask of feigned calm, the flicker in her eyes had already betrayed her inner thoughts.

She said, “I just looked at the exam paper. There was a scoring point in the history paper that I crossed out, but the teacher didn’t see it and gave me the points.”

“If Uncle Yin asks about the grades when you get home, you can just say my score was miscalculated…”

“First place in the grade is yours.”

Hua Baihe was rooted to the spot.

Yun Yeman finished speaking and very unnaturally looked elsewhere, as if she had just casually asked the other if she had had lunch.

She saw Hua Baihe standing there for a long time without moving. She silently counted a few seconds to herself, assuming that the other had tacitly agreed, and was about to take a step forward and leave first.

But at the same time she lifted her foot, Hua Baihe moved.

The person who had already walked quite a distance away came over with a blank expression. Yun Yeman thought she was angry at her ‘concession’ and wanted to come and beat her up. Her throat moved, and she almost closed her eyes in fear.

Only the stubbornness in her heart supported her, forcing her to meet Hua Baihe’s gaze.

Until—

Hua Baihe put an arm through her shoulder, and her body pressed close, forcing her to retreat a little, her back against the rough pillar. She widened her eyes at the person in front of her and heard her let out another sneer.

Her tone was laced with a faint nasal sound and a habitual arrogance.

She said, “Who do you think you’re yielding to?”

“I am the glorious school bully. A school bully has to get first place with her own ability. No one is allowed to yield to me, you know that?”

“Don’t think that by flattering me with your grades, I’ll allow you to be my underling in the future. Hmph.”

With that, Hua Baihe thought she had turned and left in a very cool and domineering way. She was even prepared to immediately hear the System announce that she had once again caused the blackening value to be -100 for not appreciating the female lead’s kindness.

Soon, she did indeed hear a prompt from the supervision mode, but the content was:

“The Child of Destiny’s affection for you is: 1. Host, please be mindful of your actions.”

Hua Baihe: “…???”

What did she do??

She was so fierce, meow meow meow???
