Ye Sui shuddered twice. She had already gotten used to living the life of a young miss all these years. She did not want to return to the past.
She said, “Qin Jiao, don’t be angry. I hate Ye Yao more than you do. For sure, I won’t let her have an easy time. I’ll get my mother to carry more tales about Ye
Yao to my father. You know that my father has disliked Ye Yao all these years…”
Qin Jiao interrupted her impatiently, “I don’t want to hear this. What I want is for Ye Yao to live a miserable life, but she’s doing very well now! Ye Sui, I really doubt your ability. I’ll give you another chance. Ye Yao no longer has a student status in this country, and she didn’t take the national college entrance examination either. How did she get enrolled into the Imperial Capital
University? I’ve already given you some direction. You know what to do, right?”
Ye Sui immediately understood what Qin Jiao meant and hurriedly nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get this settled.”
Qin Jiao snorted coldly. “If you screw up again this time, I’ll ensure you pay for it! I have something to attend to, so I’ve got to go.” With that, Qin Jiao turned around like a proud peacock and walked away. When she thought about how she’d be seeing Ye Yao around in school, she felt disgusted! When she left S City back then, she thought that she would never see Ye Yao again. She didn’t expect Ye Yao to reappear before her in this way. As for Ye Sui, Qin Jiao often assigned tasks to her. However, Qin Jiao also did not bother to clarify the girl’s misunderstanding that Ye Yao was Gao Qiao’s girlfriend. She had her own agenda and didn’t want others to know that Ye Yao was Huo Buyu’s girlfriend. This would only increase Ye Yao’s arrogance.
At the milk tea shop, Gao Qiao eagerly ordered a cup of milk tea for Ye Yao. Ye Yao took a sip and smiled at him, asking, “Come clean, what do you need my help with?” Gao Qiao was unaccountably solicitous and obviously up to no good. He already knew her secret. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so anxious to see what eventually happened to Zhou Chen yesterday. Ye Yao thought differently than Huo Buyu in this aspect. She didn’t think that there was a need to hide the matter regarding the Verbal Virtuosity Technique. Anyway, she would use it often in the future, it wouldn’t remain a secret forever. Even before she read the manual, she had never intended to restrain her ability, what more after reading it. If Huo Buyu knew what Ye Yao was thinking, he would probably want to break her neck.
Gao Qiao smiled wickedly and said, “Ye Yao, I know your secret.”
Ye Yao replied, “What secret? Stop smiling like that. Be careful that your mouth stays crooked forever.”
Gao Qiao’s smile froze, and he contorted his face. He hurriedly put his palms together and begged Ye Yao for mercy. “Yong Miss, don’t use your ability on me!” He had now personally experienced how terrifying Ye Yao’s words were. It was too effective! As soon as she had finished speaking, his mouth had turned crooked! How could there be such a mysterious skill in this world! If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes and experienced it personally, he’d never have believed it!
Ye Yao glanced at him. “I know, but I’m warning you. You’d better not be scheming against me. You have to know that the consequences of me being angered are very serious. Believe me, I’ll ensure that you become…” Before she could finish speaking, Gao Qiao covered her mouth. “Great-aunt, I’m calling you great-aunt, okay? Don’t spout nonsense. I’m begging you. I swear that I won’t scheme against you. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare!”
Although Ye Yao did not finish her sentence, Gao Qiao knew that the word she was going to say was “impotent.” Perhaps to Ye Yao it was just a casual remark, but what if he’d never be able to stiffen up again in the future! At this point, Gao Qiao understood how terrifying Ye Yao was!
Ye Yao felt much better given Gao Qiao’s reaction. She waved at him. “Alright, go ahead and say it. What sort of help do you need from me.”
Gao Qiao had never been so humble and hypocritical. He chuckled and explained, “To be honest, I’m a good person. I don’t need your help. I’m just a little curious about your ability. I want to get closer to you and study this ability.”
Ye Yao narrowed her eyes. “Really?” She did not believe the man’s words.
Gao Qiao raised his hand and swore, “I swear it’s true. It can’t get any truer.”
Ye Yao replied, “Alright, then if you lie, your hair will all fall off.”
Gao Qiao subconsciously touched his own head. When he realized that his hair was intact, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Now you believe me, right? I’m just curious..”
