The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

The thought of her brother's angry face made Ruan Yang's heart pound.

But it wasn't fear.

Instead, it was excitement.

She knew that if Nguyen Minh Chu stole her dress, her brother would not let her off the hook.

Nguyen Yang did not want Nguyen Minh Chau to continue living in the Jiang residence.

My elder brother deserves the best person in the world, but not someone like Ruan Mingzhu.

This was the first time Ruan Yang had wanted to rebel against her mother.

"Thump—"

She deliberately tripped and knocked over the box containing the dress.

The mahogany door opened.

Nguyen Minh Chu and her daughter came out.

Under the lights, the gorgeous, shimmering gowns were scattered on the expensive Persian carpet, like a crescent-shaped galaxy.

Before Nguyen Minh Chu could even laugh at Nguyen Yang, who had fallen flat on his face, she immediately recognized the dress.

That is a masterpiece by top design master Laura.

The last time this dress was worn in public was by a British national treasure, a female celebrity, at Queen Elizabeth's 80th birthday celebration.

She quickly picked it up, staring at Ruan Yang, "Where did this dress come from?"

Ruan Yang pushed herself up and rushed to grab it, saying in a panic, "It was a gift from my brother. He wanted me to go to the banquet with him..."

Beside her, Su Mei narrowed her eyes. "What banquet?"

Ruan Yang stammered, "It's this Sunday, my older brother's friend's birthday."

Su Mei pressed further, "Which friend?"

"...I think his name is Huo Shen."

Young Master Huo?

Although the Sun family is slightly less powerful, they are still a top-tier wealthy family.

Su Mei's eyes lit up, and all the fatigue from the past few days vanished.

Since their last parting with Jiang Hui, Jiang Yanci had actually sent more than fifty pearl chickens to the Su family.

The person who delivered the chicken was Jiang Yanci's assistant.

He specifically instructed, "General Jiang said that the two of you have just returned to the country and your home is quiet. Madam Su loves liveliness, so he asked me to send these guinea fowl over and also instructed that they be kept by your side to keep General Ruan and Madam Su company."

More than fifty chickens!

Half male, half female!

The male roosters start crowing at four in the morning.

The mother lays eggs everywhere.

The Su Mei couple were extremely annoyed by the noise, but they dared not do anything about the chickens and could only keep them at home.

The carpets she had carefully brought back from Paris were all covered in chicken droppings.

It stinks!

Upon hearing this good news, Su Mei's resentment of the past few days vanished.

She said to Ruan Yang, "Yangyang, tell Yan Ci now that you want to bring Mingzhu to the banquet, and he will agree. As for this dress—you are the older sister, so you can give it to your younger sister."

They've taken the bait!

Ruan Yang tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of her lips, feigning reluctance, "...Okay."

A smug glint flashed in Nguyen Minh Cho's eyes.

Clutching the dress, she said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom, but this was given to my sister by Senior Jiang, isn't it inappropriate for me to wear it?"

Su Mei smiled gently: "You're such a kind child. I'm Yangyang's mother, so naturally I know what suits her and that these clothes don't."

She turned her head again and looked at Ruan Yang.

"If Yan Ci asks, just say you don't like this dress, understand?"

"...I understand."

Su Mei was satisfied, then lowered her voice and asked, "Why haven't you put the Indian herbal oil I gave you into Yan Ci's water yet?"

Ruan Yang twisted her fingers. "Mom, I don't dare."

Su Mei frowned. "Ruan Yang, now that Jiang Zhuo has rejected you, you should understand that you can only rely on the Ruan family. Our whole family should work together to support your sister. At this banquet, you will put that drug in Jiang Yanci's champagne glass, understand?"

"I……"

Seeing that Ruan Yang was about to retort, Su Mei's face darkened. "Otherwise, I'll pretend I don't have a daughter like you!"

This is a tactic that Su Mei loves to use to threaten people.

Children are born loving their parents and craving their love.

Especially children like Ruan Yang who have been abandoned.

Whenever Su Mei says this, it always works.

Sure enough, this time Ruan Yang lowered her head and obediently said, "Mom, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Nguyen Minh Chu smiled and held up her dress in front of the mirror to compare her appearance.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a collector's item dress.

It's luxurious and beautiful.

Such an expensive dress is only worthy of her; how could a country bumpkin like Ruan Yang be worthy of wearing it?

The village is not peaceful.

To demonstrate that she was fair and impartial, Su Mei quickly sent over a dress as compensation.

It's expensive enough, but also tacky enough.

The bright Barbie pink skirt, adorned with heavy jewelry, makes her look like a ostentatious nouveau riche.

Even top female celebrities were ridiculed when they wore the red carpet last year.

Ruan Mingzhu feigned envy, "Yangyang, look how good your mother is to you, go and try it!"

Ruan Yang put it on.

Surprisingly, it wasn't a disaster for her to wear it.

On the contrary, her fair complexion with a hint of pink seemed to blend seamlessly with the Barbie pink dress, emphasizing the preciousness of the jewelry and adding a touch of girlish sweetness.

A hint of resentment flashed in Nguyen Minh Chu's eyes.

Damn!

When did this dark-skinned, rustic country bumpkin grow up to be so beautiful?

And she's developed such a... shameless figure!

You slut! You slut! You slut!

Even wearing such an ugly dress can't hide her provocative nature!

Ruan Mingzhu clenched her fingers, her eyes fixed on Ruan Yang's round and perky chest, half-covered by pink fabric, her mind filled with countless vicious and vulgar thoughts.

Just you wait and see!

Once she becomes Jiang Yanci's wife, the first thing she'll do is kick Ruan Yang out of the Jiang residence!

*

The dress was stolen, but Ruan Yang was in a great mood.

She pretended to be unwilling in front of Su Mei and her daughter, but couldn't stop laughing when she returned to her room.

When he smiled, the corners of his lips were stretched to the side.

The memory of that kiss, which had been forgotten, resurfaced.

Her face flushed red, and she dared not think about it anymore.

She wasn't in the mood to meet her blind date today.

She lay in bed, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

[Little Moon]: Sorry, I'm a bit tired today, so I won't be going tonight.

【Y】: Okay.

Ruan Yang thought to himself: This person has such a good temper; he didn't even get angry when he was stood up.

She replied with a "cat bowing" emoji, expressing her apology again.

She thought Y wouldn't reply to her anymore.

But the next second, Ruan Yang received a transfer of 5 yuan.

【Y】: Get some rest.

Ruan Yang was unfamiliar with the private messaging function of this software and thought it was just a pretentious emoji, marveling at how realistic the effect was.

She clicked on it, wanting to save it.

But as soon as I touched the screen, the phone vibrated.

Then, the notification sound of scattering gold coins rang in my ears.

She then realized—

This isn't a pretentious meme.

It was a real money transfer!

She transferred 50,000 yuan to someone she had never met before and who had stood her up in their meeting.

She immediately turned back.

[Little Moon]: Sorry, I accidentally dropped it. Here you go.

【Y】: No need.

[Little Moon]: No, no, no, my brother gives me pocket money every month, I don't lack money.

[Y]: You always mention your brother, do you like him?
