Chapter 560 - 556: This Is as Smart as It Gets
Leng Yuan knew a thing or two about Village Chief Xu and Chen Xiumin. The old couple had a good relationship, having weathered many storms together over the years to raise their three children.
If not for the mix-up at birth between Xu Wenwan and the daughter they’d raised, the Xu Family would have absolutely been the envy of the entire village.
A harmonious family, sisters-in-law on good terms, reasonable in-laws, and capable men—things were already very good.
"If Xu Wenwan really did push Aunt Chen, Uncle Xu will probably disown her."
Gu Jiaojiao was left speechless by this.
’My cousin’s intelligence is really something else. I haven’t even had to lift a finger, and she’s already managed to ruin herself.’
Xu Wenwan’s reputation in the village was now at rock bottom. People secretly mocked her, calling her a jinx, and avoided her.
Her business ventures were even more baffling. She hadn’t learned a single thing from her previous entrepreneurial failure and still dared to make shoddy facial soap.
If that wasn’t enough, she had even drained all of Mr. Jiu’s luck.
Although Mr. Jiu didn’t dare to cause trouble for Xu Wenwan openly, since his own hands weren’t clean, it was a lost cause for her when it came to business.
In the novel, the female protagonist not only relied on Lu Yuanbin to make her first fortune, but she also met a big shot through him. This big shot had some power and protected Xu Wenwan as she rose.
Their relationship remained strong. Xu Wenwan even got into a university, bought two courtyard houses in the Capital City, and invested in a skincare business, becoming a modern female powerhouse.
Her career flourished and her love life was perfect. Yun Hao came from a good family, and he made something of himself too. After college, he joined a classified unit to research weaponry and went on to achieve remarkable success.
’It was supposed to be a great ending. But the moment my cousin showed up, she completely derailed her own story.’
’To be honest, I haven’t actually interacted much with Xu Wenwan, and we haven’t had many conflicts. But she just kept acting more and more out of character, to the point where she’s now a complete lost cause.’
’Forget it.’
’This is just how smart my cousin is. I can’t expect too much from her.’
As for Xu Wenwan, the person on Gu Jiaojiao’s mind, she was currently feeling incredibly wronged.
Other people’s homes were full of laughter and cheerful chatter. Her home was not only desolate and cold, but no one had even made dinner.
And Xu Wenwan wasn’t going to make it, either.
’Yun Hao wronged me and even hit me. I’m the one in the right here.’
The sky gradually darkened. After some time, a noise came from the next room, and Xu Wenwan’s eyes lit up.
’Then the kitchen door opened. That must be Yun Hao, going to cook.’
’In that case, I’ll just wait for a ready-made meal.’
Just then, her stomach let out a RUMBLE. Xu Wenwan clutched it and comforted it, "Don’t worry, there’ll be food soon."
She timed it in her head, and when she thought dinner would be about ready, she got up and went to the kitchen.
Opening the door, she saw a kerosene lamp lit in the kitchen, and Yun Hao sitting by himself at the table, eating.
She walked over, clutching her head, her voice carrying a command: "Get me a bowl of rice."
Yun Hao popped the last bite of a steamed bun into his mouth, picked up the dish of food, and dumped it all into his bowl before starting to eat in big mouthfuls.
Xu Wenwan stared in disbelief.
’Was this man some kind of reincarnated hungry ghost?’
A whole plate of food and a bowl of rice were gone in just a few gulps.
By the time Xu Wenwan came to her senses, Yun Hao was already full. The man set down his bowl and chopsticks and said in a hard tone, "I only made enough for myself. If you want to eat, make it yourself."
Xu Wenwan exploded.
She shot up from the stool, her eyes practically shooting fire. "Yun Hao, are you even a man? You accused me wrongly, you hit me, and now you won’t even make me dinner? Do you have a conscience?"
Yun Hao exploded too. He slammed his bowl and chopsticks onto the table, stood up, his eyes menacing.
"I wronged you? I saw it with my own two eyes, and you still say I wronged you."
Xu Wenwan insisted, "You *did* wrong me! Even Gu Jiaojiao said it was a misunderstanding. Why won’t you believe it?"
