CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 384: GREEN TEA BITCHES EVERYWHERE

I didn’t expect this woman to look like a matron, but act like a little wifey. After hitching a ride just once, she latched onto Sisi. She wanted to carpool for several days in a row. Sisi had planned to set things straight with her today, to tell her to take the bus herself—this miss is not your chauffeur!

"Just in time, Mr. He, we’re going the same way. How about we go back together?" Jiang Fang smiled graciously and dignified, just like a sister you can pour your heart out to.

"No, I have to go to my grandfather’s house for dinner, so it’s not on the way." Sisi flatly refused.

The gracious smile on Jiang Fang’s face froze for a moment, and in less than a second, it returned to normal, even more dignified than before.

"I see, then I will just take the bus home. Be careful driving your car, Mr. He. Let’s go back together tomorrow, okay?"

"Is Mr. Jiang experiencing financial difficulties?" Sisi suddenly asked.

Jiang Fang was stunned. What did He Sisi mean by that? She was dressed nicely too! She paused for a few seconds before quickly shaking her head in response, "No, why would Mr. He ask that?"

Sisi curved her lips into a smile, saying indifferently, "That’s good to hear. I thought maybe Mr. Jiang didn’t have money for the bus fare!"

After saying that, Sisi opened the car door, got into the driver’s seat, started the car, and after a moment’s thought, she still poked her head out and said to the awkwardly smiling Jiang Fang, "Mr. Jiang, I forgot to tell you, I don’t really enjoy being someone’s chauffeur."

With that, Sisi sped off, kicking up a cloud of dust that coated Jiang Fang’s face.

Jiang Fang couldn’t smile anymore. How could He Sisi do this? How could she slap her in the face like this? It was just a ride, why did she have to humiliate her?

Sisi sneered: You take advantage of me, and I’m supposed to pamper you? Do you think I’m oblivious to your little schemes? You just want to ride my coattails, hiding behind that sisterly facade. Pfft, the very definition of a green tea bitch, you can find these people anywhere!

Indeed, Jiang Fang’s thought process was just as Sisi had guessed. She wanted to cozy up to Sisi to piggyback on her and enter the upper echelons, to snag a wealthy husband.

Although plain in appearance and with an ordinary family background, Jiang Fang’s ambitions were far from small. Always holding herself in high regard, she felt that average Joes were below her. None of the men her relatives introduced to her on blind dates caught her eye. Whether they were teachers or minor office workers, how could they be worthy of her?

She was destined to be the wife of an official, and that was Jiang Fang’s grand dream, for which she always strived tirelessly.

Only in the past two years, due to lack of proper connections, she had not met the right mentor—which is what you get when all your family and their friends are just like your parents, mere ordinary workers!

Of course, she also had her sights on Li Yuxi. Although Li Yuxi herself wasn’t much—just a humble high school teacher—Jiang Fang heard that Li Yuxi’s family was quite illustrious, with parents who were officials.

As long as someone’s a high-ranking official, Jiang Fang didn’t care who. Therefore, she went out of her way to find opportunities to interact with Li Yuxi. But how could Li Yuxi take a fancy to someone like Jiang Fang in looks? Naturally, it ended in failure.

Jiang Fang did not get discouraged and continued to seek out targets until the appearance of Sisi and He Chengsi brought her secret delight. She felt that Sisi could be her guide. If she could become close like sisters with Sisi, wouldn’t there be plenty of opportunities to enter the upper circles?

With her own methods, she could surely become an official’s wife in the future, right? If not, even that stern soldier would do—the aura he exuded was extraordinary, clearly indicating he wasn’t from an average family.

Once the idea struck her, Jiang Fang immediately put it into action. She orchestrated the scene in the rain, and as planned, she got a ride in He Sisi’s car. Afterwards, she managed to hitch a few more rides, which delighted Jiang Fang beyond measure. She felt that things were progressing incredibly smoothly, and it wouldn’t be long before she could become a part of that circle, leveraging her identity as He Sisi’s good friend, right?

But her dream shattered before it was fully formed. Jiang Fang didn’t know where she had gone wrong. Could she have inadvertently said something to offend He Sisi?

But she was always so careful with her words, even her facial expressions were cultivated at home for quite some time. She had done her research—He Sisi was a temperamental Miss who would surely adore a friend with a good temperament like her.

And by the side of a spoiled Miss like He Sisi, a gentle, considerate, and kind girl like her would shine the brightest. He Sisi’s willfulness would only highlight her gentleness, surely winning the pity of men.

He Sisi sneered: Doesn’t she know that I despise both white lotuses and scheming bitches the most?

He Sisi had no idea that Jiang Fang had her sights set on her own brother. However, even if she knew, she wouldn’t be worried—how could He Chengsi ever fancy someone as weak as Jiang Fang? He Chengsi has a preference for strong women like Kang Mianhua.

When the car arrived at the Old Man’s gate, Granny Zhao immediately came out to greet them. Seeing He Sisi, she scolded: "You heartless girl, you stop visiting Granny once you move out, I bet Granny doesn’t even cross your mind anymore."

"How could I not miss Granny? Granny is the most important person in my heart, no one else comes close." He Sisi was an expert at cajoling Granny Zhao, and in no time, she had the old lady grinning from ear to ear.

"Hmph!"

A discordant voice came through; it was Tian Lili, picking vegetables in the yard.

Seeing Tian Lili gave He Sisi a headache. This Tian Lili had grown in age but not in brains. Although she wasn’t as simple and rough as she was as a child under Tian Aiguo’s discipline, her nature was cemented. She was shallow, petty, and her biggest problem was seeing He Sisi as a rival.

Originally, Tian Aiguo had arranged for Tian Lili to join the art troupe in the military as a solider. With a father who was a Deputy Chief of Staff in the military region, Tian Lili wouldn’t have a tough time in the military. Tian Aiguo had been promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff in the Inner Mongolia Military Region thanks to his commendable command in the Vietnam war.

But Tian Lili, stubborn as she was, insisted on going to university. She claimed she couldn’t be outdone by He Sisi, but her academic prowess just wasn’t there. After failing the university entrance exam twice, she barely managed to get into a vocational college last year, securing a spot in a specialized art school in Beijing.

That’s right, Tian Lili was determined to compete with He Sisi and also applied for an art school. Xu Qianwen had boasted several times in front of He Sisi that her daughter got into university, but He Sisi didn’t pay much heed—it was family business, after all.

Besides, she had seen through Xu Qianwen. She was shallow, petty-minded, and had a nasty streak. Not that you could say her heart was all that bad, and Tian Aiguo’s reputation was also involved. Hearing a few sour comments wouldn’t cost He Sisi any flesh; she just dismissed them as hot air.

He Sisi moved out of the Old Man’s residence precisely because of Tian Lili. Seeing He Sisi living there made Tian Lili want to move in too. Xu Qianwen directly called and asked Granny Zhao to treat both granddaughters equally.

But He Sisi knew that the Old Man and Granny Zhao didn’t really want Tian Lili to move in. Firstly, they didn’t have much affection for this granddaughter, and secondly, Tian Lili was too uncouth, never doing household chores, and her bed always looked like a dog’s den; she had a nasty temper too, which would definitely cause the elderly couple trouble.

So, to spare the old couple any difficulty, He Sisi took the initiative to move out. With that, Tian Lili had no choice but to gloomily return to her school dorm, but she did smarten up, occasionally taking time to come over for meals.

After all, as their own flesh and blood, the Old Man and Granny Zhao indulged her. They were strict, though: come over for meals if you want, but you’ll have to do the dishes and prepare the vegetables—no work, no food.
