What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

Huo Yueze was in the midst of his middle school entrance exams. Although the pressure wasn't intense, his studies kept him busy, and he also faced the same herbal soup task as Huo Guining.

"Come on, this one's for Ning Ning, and this one's for Aze," Zheng Jinxiu enthusiastically placed the soup bowls in front of the two.

Considering Ning Ning had just recovered from a cold, Zheng Jinxiu had added extra ingredients to hers.

The siblings exchanged glances across the dining table.

Huo Guining, with the air of someone who'd been through it all, advised, "Brother, this herbal soup is quite good."

Despite her words, her posture as she drank the soup resembled that of someone resigned to their fate.

Huo Yueze thought: There's no need for that.

All of this happened behind Zheng Jinxiu's back.

When Zheng Jinxiu sat down at the table, the siblings greeted her with identical smiles: "Grandma, the herbal soup you made is absolutely delicious!"

Huo Xiaozheng: I can't bear to watch.

After dinner, Old Master Huo called Huo Xiaozheng to his study.

Huo Yueze and Huo Guining each held a fruit platter, sitting at opposite ends of the sofa, resembling old folks gossiping at the village entrance.

"Sister, is North City fun?"

Huo Guining lay like a lazy fish, popping a grape into her mouth: "It's alright, the scenery is quite nice."

Huo Yueze complained, "Why didn't you take me along? I could have been part of the parent-child program too!"

Huo Guining shook her head wearily: "It's all little kids. You'd get tired looking after them."

Huo Yueze imagined a flock of ducklings circling around him and couldn't help but shudder.

"Well, never mind then. After my entrance exams, let's go on a trip together, shall we?"

Hearing the words 'entrance exams', Huo Guining sat up straight: "Brother, which high school are you aiming for?"

Huo Yueze took some time to explain to Ning Ning that he was currently in a prestigious private school with both middle and high school sections. If his scores met the standard, he could directly enter the high school section.

"Ning Ning, will you be starting elementary school in the second half of the year?" Huo Yueze asked casually.

Thinking of her private tutor, Huo Guining hesitated: "I probably won't be going."

Huo Yueze: "Won't you get bored?"

Huo Guining: "I suppose so."

After pondering for a moment, Huo Guining thought: "If I went to sixth grade, would the classmates be less rowdy?"

Huo Yueze paused: "Ning Ning, sixth grade isn't kindergarten. You can't go there..."

Huo Guining smiled mischievously: "My tutor suggested I start directly with middle school knowledge, you know~"

Huo Yueze's expression froze.

"You're joking, right?"

Just then, Huo Xiaozheng came downstairs. Huo Guining waved at him, calling out loudly: "Dad, didn't my teacher say before that I could skip elementary school learning?"

Huo Xiaozheng nodded: "Indeed, it's possible. Have you made up your mind?"

Huo Guining didn't answer his question. Instead, she flashed a triumphant smile at Huo Yueze: "Now do you believe me?"
