CHAPTER 81: CHAPTER 81: YUAN BAO: MY ACTING IS AMAZING!

"Not bad, not bad, I’ve finally broken the golden status of the beloved!"

Facing the reproach of her older cousin Yuan Shougui, Yuan Bao was not angry, but instead quite happy.

It wasn’t that she liked to maliciously interpret people’s intentions, but rather she had to be cautious.

That Sheng Xueyi, the legitimate eldest daughter of an official family, was sent to the manor here just because she got a stepmother, and thus a stepfather.

But such a young lady, her status is worlds apart from the little kids in Shiqu Village.

Especially since she’s a transmigrator!

Such a background, yet so amiable and wants nothing?

In any case, Yuan Bao didn’t believe it.

As the saying goes, peers are natural enemies.

If Sheng Xueyi knew her identity as a fellow transmigrator, what would she think? Would it be a tearful reunion between fellow countrymen?

Or, using her status, would she make her a subordinate?

The human mind cannot withstand such tests.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Do you know, because of you, our family has to split up?"

"You’re still laughing!"

"How dare you laugh?"

Yuan Shougui looked at Yuan Bao laughing brightly, furious enough to want to hit someone.

However, he ultimately didn’t raise his hand.

"I’m really done with you!"

Yuan Shougui stormed off in anger.

Yuan Bao was delighted throughout.

If she guessed correctly, the news of their family splitting would soon reach Sheng Xueyi’s ears. Then she could gauge what kinds of plans Sheng Xueyi had through her words and actions.

...

The Yuan Family’s split didn’t cause any ripples in Shiqu Village.

After all, they were just outsiders.

No matter how well they got along with some people in the village during this time, there was always a gap. Removing this gap would take time.

The next day, as usual, Yuan Bao dragged her brother out to play and, likewise, didn’t join Sheng Xueyi’s group.

At this time, Yuan Bao noticed that her cousins were not surrounding Sheng Xueyi like before. Instead, they gathered separately, playing war games with sticks.

"What’s going on?"

Yuan Bao was a bit puzzled.

The unusual behavior of the Yuan Family kids naturally caught Sheng Xueyi’s attention.

She quickly made a sign to Chuntao, signaling with her hand.

The next moment, Chuntao walked over to Yuan Shougui and the others.

Yuan Bao watched from a distance, utterly unaware of what Chuntao and Yuan Shougui talked about, but not long after Chuntao returned to Sheng Xueyi, Sheng Xueyi picked up her skirt, took small quick steps, and swiftly moved to Yuan Shougui’s side, chatting with him with a charming smile.

Yuan Bao witnessed everything.

Unfortunately, she didn’t have super hearing, nor did she understand lip-reading, so she had no clue what they were saying.

Soon, Sheng Xueyi left Yuan Shougui’s side, face beaming with joy, walking towards Yuan Bao.

"Jiaojiao, why don’t you like me?"

Sheng Xueyi approached Yuan Bao and crouched down.

"I just don’t like you!"

"You took away my brothers and didn’t give me yummy food!"

"I just don’t like you!"

When it comes to acting skills, Yuan Bao felt no Oscar statue was worthy of her.

At this moment, she was embodying the image of a spoiled, willful child to perfection.

Hearing Yuan Bao’s reply, the smile on Sheng Xueyi’s face froze, and after a moment, she barely managed to maintain a smile, saying, "Then, I’ll bring you more goodies in the future, let’s be friends, shall we?"
