Yu Wan was skilled at using words as a weapon. Every word she spoke stabbed at Yu Yao’s heart.

She wanted to infuriate Yu Yao so that she would be forced to reveal her real rude and barbaric nature. She wanted everyone to know that this girl, whom she had painstakingly found, was incompatible with the Yu family.

Originally, this tactic that had been used to deal with Yu Yao was effective, but Yu Wan now realized that the Yu Yao she was looking at today was a little different to before.

She was not quarrelling with her angrily, nor was she attacking her directly. Instead, she crossed her arms and leaned against the sofa, looking at her with a calm and even somewhat playful gaze.

It was as if she was watching an interesting performance.

This knowledge made Yu Wan angry. She could not maintain such a casual and eccentric tone, and there was obvious malice in her words.

“Yu Yao, I underestimated you in the past. I didn’t expect you to be so capable that you’d even be able to hook up with Third Master Qiao,” she continued viciously. “I’m really curious, what price did you pay to get him to take you away from the mental hospital?”

Yu Yao could not ignore the probing in her words.

“You want to know about my relationship with Third Master Qiao?” Sensing the nervousness in Yu Wan’s expression, Yu Yao said slowly, “How should I put it? Our relationship is quite complicated.”

After a moment of shock, Yu Wan saw Yu Yao’s mocking gaze. She became angry and raised her hand to slap Yu Yao’s face.

“Yu Yao, how dare you?!”

Even the pitiful little girl from the past was not a good-for-nothing that she just allowed her to physically abuse her, let alone the Yu Yao now. She easily caught Yu Wan’s arm, which was swinging toward her, and gave her a backhand slap.

That hand stopped less than a centimeter away from her face. The hair by Yu Wan’s ear moved slightly due to the air rushing forward from the moving hand. She had already predicted Yu Yao’s reaction and was not surprised by her counterattack, but she did not understand why she had stopped.

“You’ve become timid after staying in the mental hospital for a few days?” Yu Wan mocked. “How disappointing. Yu Yao, what’s the big deal about a weak and useless person like you?”

Yu Yao gently patted Yu Wan’s cheek and said in an intimate tone, “My dear sister, your plan is so simple that it can be seen through with one look. Why? Do you want me to slap you and then sow discord between me and the Yu family with scars?”

“No matter how simple the plan is, as long as it works, isn’t it fine?” Yu Wan spat.

“Silly girl.” Yu Yao shook her head and sighed. She looked at Yu Wan with a hint of affection in her eyes. “I’m in a good mood today. I’ll teach you how to play some mind games.”

Yu Wan did not know where Yu Yao’s confidence had come from. “You? You really don’t know your place…”

Before she could finish this sentence, she was interrupted by a sharp pain in her chest.

Yu Yao grabbed Yu Wan’s collar with both hands and raised her leg abruptly, using her knee to hit Yu Wan in the ribs. Yu Wan doubled over and clutched the spot where she had been hit. Her face was pale from the pain, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Yu Wan glared at Yu Yao with hatred. “How dare you…”

Seeing that she was struggling to even lift her head, Yu Yao kindly helped her, grabbing her hair and pulling it back.

“Little sister, look, this is the first lesson I’m teaching you.” Yu Yao exerted more force, causing Yu Wan’s face to contort.

“When you want to use an internecine strategy, you’ll have to consider whether the other party will hit you where it hurts the most yet leave no marks.”

Yu Wan endured the pain and questioned with difficulty, “Y-you’re not afraid of being discovered?”

Yu Yao admired her expression, which was contorted with pain and hatred. She was in a good mood. “This is the content of the second lesson. When you cut off the surveillance cameras at home to do bad things, you also make things convenient for the other party.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

From the corner of her eye, Yu Wan saw a figure walking into the villa. The moment she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

“Do you think you can do whatever you want without surveillance cameras?”

Yu Yao, on the other hand, had sensed that someone was approaching earlier than Yu Wan. However, she did not turn around, nor did she panic as Yu Wan had expected her to.

Yu Yao chuckled. “Sister, you have to listen carefully for your final lesson. This strategy of sowing discord can only be used on people who care about each other. So, even if your plan had succeeded, what effect would it have had on me?”

She tugged Yu Wan’s hair with one hand, raised her other hand up high, and swung it fiercely at her face.

Then, she gently pushed Yu Wan to the ground.

Yu Wan covered her face and looked up at Yu Yao in disbelief. She did not understand why Yu Yao had dared to attack her so openly.

However, Yu Wan immediately changed her demeanor. Her face was full of tears as she aggrievedly said to Yu Jue, who had rushed in, “Third Brother, ah… Elder Sister Yaoyao hit me! I don’t know what I did wrong! Third Brother, it hurts…”
