The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

”He Xiutian”’s appearance indeed lowered their family’s status, making Qiao Zhenbang and the entire Qiao Family into topics of gossip, even laughingstock for those around them.

Fortunately, ”He Xiutian” still knew how to improve herself.

She diligently studied cooking, baking, attended some etiquette training courses, and even accompanied an old lady in the family courtyard who practiced vegetarianism to worship Buddha...

In just a few months, ”He Xiutian” underwent a transformation both inside and out.

Moreover, her transformation did not turn her into a fierce and strong woman, she did not switch from one extreme to another, but became gentle, virtuous, like a noble lady from the ancient Hua Country paintings.

Perhaps she’s still not highly educated, but with this kind of temperament, standing beside Qiao Zhenbang once more, she is exceedingly harmonious and well-matched!

She no longer became a shortfall for the Qiao Family, nor did she give Qiao Zhenbang any opportunity for being mocked by others.

Through video calls, watching ”He Xiutian”’s changes little by little, Qiao Jianan didn’t say it aloud, but felt satisfied inside.

Thinking about her previous rudeness, Qiao Jianan felt a bit embarrassed—even if anything, ”He Xiutian” saved her father.

Such a life-saving favor is never enough, no matter how you repay it.

And the marriage itself was her biological father Qiao Zhenbang’s idea. She didn’t persuade her father, instead vented her anger at ”He Xiutian.”

Whenever Qiao Jianan recalled the foolish things she had done, an overwhelming feeling of regret surfaced.

Despite her self-claim to be a cultured, knowledgeable high-educated woman, she still ended up giving Aunt He attitude like a spoiled brat!

Especially lately, her father has been well taken care of by Aunt He.

Seeing her father’s increasingly rosy face in the video far from home, Qiao Jianan finally felt relieved.

At this moment, recalling her previous rudeness to Aunt He, Qiao Jianan felt an unbearable shame.

”...Don’t worry, your Aunt He stopped caring about these things long ago!”

During calls with her father, as Qiao Jianan unintentionally revealed her thoughts, Qiao Zhenbang smiled and reassured her.

However, it’s a good thing that the daughter is willing to reflect and wants to make amends for family harmony.

After thinking it over a bit, Qiao Zhenbang said, ”If you feel really bad about it, you should compensate her. Oh, by the way, your Aunt He values Yanyan the most.”

As for Zhao Yan, she’s just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old college student who is a bit vain and competitive.

Qiao Jianan understood instantly and after hanging up the phone, she went shopping for some cosmetics, chocolates and other gifts, sending them directly from the USA.

Zhao Yan received the package from abroad, filled with all the things a young girl would love.

Displaying one exquisite foreign luxury after another in front of her roommates and hearing their continuous ”Wow!” made Zhao Yan’s vanity feel fully satisfied.

It was like a dream come true.

More importantly, having gifts sent from abroad helped Zhao Yan salvage her reputation from the embarrassing incidents of vanity she used to get herself into.

In a way, it was ironic.

Previously, Zhao Yan used all sorts of lies to decorate herself to avoid mockery, only to create a laughing stock, people didn’t say it aloud, but secretly laughed.

Yet knowing Zhao Yan was not truly impoverished, ”father” is a professor, mother is a full-time housewife, brothers and sisters are studying abroad, and now she even received gifts sent from her sister thousands of miles away...

Past jokes were no longer jokes but were Zhao Yan being humorous, deliberately making jokes and creating a lively atmosphere!

Of course, the friends in 309, even in the past, never truly ridiculed Zhao Yan, at most they felt their roommate was a bit sensitive.

As they didn’t dare discuss ”dangerous” topics for fear of unintentionally hurting their friend’s feelings.

The friends in 309 are kind-hearted, not gossipy behind people’s backs.

But in nearby dorms or among classmates, some couldn’t stand Zhao Yan’s demeanor.

Hmph, obviously just a poor girl from the countryside, what’s with the pretense?

Even if wearing clothes from the mall and holding a smartphone couldn’t hide the rural taste and small-mindedness in her!

Pretending to understand, poor acting rich... various assumptions close to reality but hearing them in a cruel context often circulated in the class or girls dormitory.

If it wasn’t for He Tiantian’s arrival, if it wasn’t for He Tiantian’s shortcuts that helped Zhao Yan escape class barriers and strengthen inner self, Zhao Yan would have gone down a wrong path just like in the original story, unable to handle the silent rumors and peculiar looks from those around her.
