Chapter 377: Chapter 138: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (25)

Mrs. Chi tapped her on the forehead, exasperated. "You silly girl. You’re so old now, how can you still be so shameless, always teasing your father?"

Chi Yun’er was the family’s sole treasure and had always monopolized their affection. If Mr. and Mrs. Chi were even a little nice to another child, this girl, whose tolerance was as narrow as the eye of a needle, could sulk for a week straight!

Mr. and Mrs. Chi found this amusing and would tease her from time to time. They were also quite pleased that their daughter held them in such high regard, which only made them dote on her more.

Mr. Chi quickly declared his position. "That’s not true at all! Come on, let’s go. Dad ordered your favorite roast duck, and your mom recently bought a ton of your favorite foods. She’s planning to make them all for you over the next few days to fatten your cheeks back up!"

Chi Yun’er pursed her lips into a smile. "Are you trying to raise a pig? Let’s go. I haven’t been sleeping or eating well on the road these past few days. My whole body is sore, and I feel all grimy. I need to get home and take a nice, long bath..."

As she spoke, she looped an arm through each of her parents’ and led them to the car.

Fang Yuying was left standing there alone. The other female educated youths who had been watching just shrugged, picked up their luggage, and resignedly went to buy their bus tickets.

Chi Yun’er got carsick, so she sat in the front passenger seat and rolled the window all the way down.

Mrs. Chi sat behind Mr. Chi, where she had a perfect view of her daughter’s profile. "Sweetheart, what was going on with that young comrade just now?"

Their daughter had been away from home for over a year and hadn’t returned once. They would send two or three letters for every one brief, casual reply they received.

The couple was too busy with work to get away; they had even spent the New Year eating dumplings with their colleagues at the office.

They missed their daughter terribly but couldn’t visit, which made them feel very guilty. All they could do was send her plenty of money, ration coupons, and supplies. Now that she was suddenly back, they didn’t quite know what to say.

Mrs. Chi was just trying to make small talk.

At the mention of it, Chi Yun’er said huffily, "It’s that woman! She knew perfectly well that Brother Hua has a girlfriend—me, standing right there—and she still ignored me to flirt with him!"

"Comrade Dong said that dating without the intention of marrying is just hooliganism. If she likes Brother Hua, what kind of position does that put him in?"

"Hmph. After coveting someone else’s man, now she’s starting to covet someone else’s parents? She’s really trying her hardest to be a homewrecker, isn’t she!"

"Aren’t my coattails long enough for her to ride? Why does she have to go after my boyfriend and my parents to find the comfortable life she’s lacking?"

Mr. and Mrs. Chi were stunned.

Mrs. Chi added indignantly, "What’s wrong with young people these days? You can’t choose the family or environment you’re born into, but you can work hard and study to change your own fate."

"They only see that our Yunyun has a father who’s the vice director of Kyoto General Hospital and a mother who’s a department head at the Number One Department Store. Why don’t they see how hard she studies?"

"Even without her parents’ help, Yunyun could find a good job and live a comfortable life. What you get from scheming and coveting others won’t last in the long run!"

Chi Yun’er nodded repeatedly. ’That’s right. I was ruined for a whole lifetime, and heaven couldn’t bear to see it, so it gave me a second chance.’

At this thought, she suddenly narrowed her eyes, recalling something Bian Yumin had said in a moment of heated excitement, right when she was on the verge of success.

"Chi Yun’er, heaven may not have given me a status worthy of Zishu, but I have a second chance."

"This time, you’ll be the one covered in filth, looking up at me. I will become the Kyoto General Hospital Director’s Wife!"

At the time, she hadn’t paid it any mind, but now, Chi Yun’er herself had been reborn and given a second chance by heaven.

’If Bian Yumin hadn’t also come from the future, how would she have known to say she would become the Kyoto General Hospital Director’s Wife?’

’What’s more, there was the fact that Huang Yingwei had been able to accurately describe the birthmark on her body.’

’If a man were reborn, how could he be content with just being a freeloader, living with such a narrow perspective, and not aspire to anything greater?’

’After all, after 1980, business opportunities were everywhere in Xiahua. Anyone who went into business could make a fortune. He should have been lying low, biding his time until he could make his mark, and finding a willing partner who could help his career.’

’Therefore, Huang Yingwei wasn’t the one who was reborn. He was just being fed information by someone else. The one who was truly reborn is Bian Yumin!’

’Heh. Since she got a do-over, why not just "study hard and make progress every day"?’

’Since Bian Yumin was capable enough to snatch Jiang Zishi, she should have just taken him and been done with it. Why did she have to overdo it by scheming against me too?’

Chi Yun’er’s lips curled into a smirk. ’Actually, the best way to deal with people like Jiang Zishi and Bian Yumin is to live so well that they can only look up to me in awe.’

’And when they reach out to take what’s mine, I’ll slap their hands away—hard.’

’To be able to do nothing but watch with envy, jealousy, and hate, completely unable to take my place—for people like them, that would be the cruelest punishment of all.’
