Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

51

Shamelessly, Zhong Yuhuan started listed them out, "Pretty dresses, purses, shoes, lipsticks, a boat, private plane...."

The two boys listened attentively and made mental notes of them.

Zhong Yuhuan yawned and said, "Oh, I am so sleepy."

Huo Chengming squatted down suddenly and helped her take her shoes off before saying in a low voice, "Go to bed soon."

Zhong Yuhuan gave a sluggish response, got up, and headed toward the bathroom.

As they have been growing bigger and taller, Zhong Yuhuan's back was now looking more and more slender and fragile.

As though all they needed to do was to reach out their hands and put their arms around her waist.

Downstairs, Xu Yushan's friends were still sighing, "What a perfect gentleman? And so handsome. I gathered he must be rich too?"

"Don't let him slip away, Shanshan."

"Exactly, Shanshan is the prettiest of us all. And with such a nice body too. And now she had also become part of the Zhong's...."

They did that on purpose.

They had all witnessed how he was threatening her earlier so obviously they were just mocking her now....

Xu Yushan's face turned. She got angry and shouted, "Get out of here! All of you!"

"Why are you so upset, Shanshan? We are just giving you some suggestions. We only have your best interest in mind.... Don't you like such a wonderful man?"

So what if she liked him?

Yes, she liked him, but she couldn't have him.

Xu Yushan looked worse than before and was even more enraged, "Are you leaving? If you don't, I am going to call security."

"Man, what is up with you? Weren't you the one who invited us over? What is the meaning of this? You are just the stepdaughter. Do you really think you are now the rightful Miss of this family?"

"Alright, alright. Stop it already. Let's go. Shanshan, let's get together some other time."

And her friends were gone before long.

Yet the shame and anger inside of Xu Yushan would not go away.

She needed to join into the social groups of the upper class girls and stop hanging out with her poor friends.

A few days later, Zhong Yuhuan, Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming went to school as usual.

Yang San, leaning on top of Zhong Yuhuan, said mysteriously, "I got a joke for you."

"What joke?" asked Zhong Yuhuan dubiously.

"Remember Lu-jie jie was hosting her birthday party on a boat? That Xu Yushan wanted to go, and they really brought her along. She made a fool out of herself repeatedly, and they almost tossed her off of the boat. If it wasn't for the status of your father, they just might have. But, they still froze her out and laughed about it for a long time. I gathered that Xu Yushan wouldn't want to leave the house for a while," chuckled Yang San.

All these second-generation rich kids were raised in glass houses. They were all mean in nature, unless they grew up together, otherwise they could be quite brutal to outsiders.

The incident made Zhong Yuhuan laughed out loud, "For real?"

"Yeah, I heard it from Lu Shaowen. He said he heard it from his sister, and she was complaining to him up and down and said how come that Xu Yushan was so clueless."

Zhong Yuhuan smiled and said, "She was born out of wedlock, this is as good as she is going to get."

Yang San nodded, "Exactly!"

Zhong Yuhuan chatted some more with Yang San before she turned her attention back to her textbook.
