the next day.

Yun Yao casually picked out a pink sleeveless fitted dress and a pair of white high heels.

She thought she had gotten up early enough.

But after she changed her clothes and went downstairs...

Yun Shiyue was already sitting at the table eating breakfast.

A few strands of hair fell slightly over her forehead, naturally and loosely resting on her brow bone.

He wore a sharp black suit, the jacket open, exuding a慵懒 and dignified air.

Yun Yao pulled out a chair and sat down. "Brother, what time did you go to sleep last night?"

He was still on the computer before she went to bed last night. How come he was able to get up earlier than her?

Yun Shiyue's eyes were cold, and his clear voice carried a commanding tone, "Ten minutes. Finish your breakfast."

Yun Yao: "..."

After she finished her porridge, she only had time to stuff two small steamed buns into her mouth before getting into the car with Yun Shiyue.

Yun Yao's phone vibrated a few times.

She opened the message and saw that it was from Lu Jingyu.

Are you awake?

I didn't reply to your messages last night, and I was worried something might have happened to you, so I called your brother.

Scroll up, and you'll find messages sent last night.

[Did you get home safely?]

Don't worry about Shen Qihuan's matter, I'll handle it.

Yun Yao replied to him.

I went to bed shortly after I got home last night.

I haven't seen your message.

As for Shen Qihuan framing her, even if she told others, probably no one would believe her.

Explanation is pointless.

In any case, the female supporting character is just a part of the emotional play between the male and female leads.

Arrive at the old house.

Yun Yao followed Yun Shiyue through the door.

Inside the main hall, the old man sat at the head of the table, talking to the guests.

Approaching seventy, he still exudes a commanding presence, his weathered face etched with the marks of time and hardship, yet radiating an aura of authority.

Yun Shiyue greeted the old man.

Yun Yao also called out "Grandpa".

But the old man's gaze was only on Yun Shiyue, and he completely ignored Yun Yao as if she didn't exist.

"Shi Yue, why are you here so early? You're usually so busy at the company, and you still have time to come see this old man."

"No delay."

Yun Shiyue had just finished speaking.

The others tried to make their presence felt by chatting.

"Oh, old man, Shi Yue is here to see you. How can that be considered taking up too much time?"

"That's right. It's usually quiet and deserted, but it gets lively for a while at this time of year when everyone comes to see you. Why bother talking about whether it's a delay or not?"

One of the women, with an air of nobility, looked at Yun Shiyue and said, "Speaking of which, Shiyue, when are you going to get married and have a child, so that the old man can hold a great-grandson?"

Yun Shiyue said indifferently, "No rush."

"You still need to hurry up. Your parents are always traveling, and the heavy burden of the company falls on your shoulders. Don't just focus on company matters and miss the best age to get married."

At this moment, the old man spoke up, "I'll make the decision. My old friend's granddaughter just returned to China recently and is here today. This is a good opportunity for you two to get to know each other."

Yun Shiyue frowned slightly. "Grandpa."

"It's just to get to know her first, we'll see if it works out later. She grew up abroad, so it's a good opportunity for you to take her out and familiarize her with the environment. As for the company affairs recently, I will assign someone to hand them over to you."

Yun Shiyue remained silent for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Yun Yao smiled to herself, thinking that it was a good thing to be invisible, as she wouldn't have to be nagged by her elders.

The old man saw Yun Yao smirking to herself and scolded her sternly, "Look at yourself, what kind of behavior is this?"

Yun Yao: "..."

I finally managed to sneak out of the main hall.

They were stopped again.

"Cousin, I heard you just got scolded by Grandpa again! Tsk tsk tsk."

Yun Yao looked at the person who had just arrived. She was wearing a red strapless dress. The dress had a nice shape and the color was just right, but it didn't look good on this person.

[System, who is this person?]

[Yun Mengxiao, the granddaughter of the old man's younger brother, and her family hold sinecure positions in the old man's company. She is the original owner's rival in love, but her status is not high enough for Lu Jingyu, so she can only resort to underhanded tactics.]

[oh……]

Yun Yao looked the person in front of her up and down. "Cousin, this red dress is too overwhelming for you. Don't wear red next time, it doesn't suit you."

Yun Mengxiao curled her lips. "Hmph, even if you're jealous, you don't have to make it so obvious."

"...", they wouldn't accept the well-intentioned reminder.

Yun Mengxiao spotted Lu Jingyu not far away, pushed past Yun Yao, and walked in that direction.

Yun Yao was pushed backward, but luckily someone caught her around the waist.

"Thank you."

Yun Shiyue withdrew his hand and casually lifted his eyelids. "No need for thanks. Just do me a favor, and your allowance will double next month."

Yun Yao never expected that Yun Shiyue would need her help one day, but, "...What kind of help is it? Is it difficult?"

Yun Shiyue chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, it's not difficult for you."

Lu Jingyu was getting annoyed by Yun Mengxiao's persistence, so he pushed her hand away and walked over to Yun Yao.

He complimented Yun Yao earnestly, saying, "You look beautiful today."

Yun Yao replied perfunctorily, "Thank you."

Lu Jingyu hadn't expected Yun Yao to react this way; in the past, she was always the one pestering him to praise her.

What he said today was indeed the truth, except it wasn't because of her outfit...

Although it's the same face, it's inexplicably many times more beautiful than I remember.

The girl in front of me had clear, innocent eyes that blended perfectly with her allure, making her irresistibly seductive.

He recalled yesterday, when Yun Yao looked bewildered and frightened.

She looked pitiful; her once bright and beautiful eyes had lost their sparkle. Yet, at the same time, they revealed a fragile beauty, both pitiful and adorable.

She even inexplicably attracted people who wanted to bully her even more...

Silly Yaoyao.

"Hmph," Lu Jingyu chuckled to himself.

"Would you like something to eat? I'll get you something."

Yun Yao readily agreed, "Okay."

Yun Shiyue rushed her too much this morning, and she didn't get to eat her fill.

Yun Shiyue's lips curled into a mocking smile as he leaned down and whispered in Yun Yao's ear, "Does this kid know that you were fooling around with another man last night, hmm?"

Yun Yao glared at him angrily, "I told you I didn't!"

Yun Shiyue looked down at the person in front of him. Because they were so close, he easily met her gaze... Her pupils were moist and sparkling in the sunlight, exuding a charming and alluring beauty.

His heart skipped a beat, and he belatedly took a half step back, his throat dry and his voice hoarse.

"When I'm on a date with that woman Grandpa introduced me to, you help me sabotage the relationship and keep her from getting too close to me."

"Understood." This task is perfectly suited to the villainous female supporting character.

Lu Jingyu walked over with two plates of pastries. "I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just took a little of everything."

Yun Yao happily accepted it, "I'm not picky, as long as it tastes good."

When Yun Mengxiao saw this scene, her jaw dropped. It had only been a few days since they last met, so why was Brother Jingyu suddenly being so nice to Yun Yao?

She stepped closer in her high heels, determined to remind Lu Jingyu just what kind of person Yun Yao really was.

"Brother Jingyu, my cousin just said my dress wasn't pretty, and what was wrong with it? She's obviously just jealous of me!"

Lu Jingyu glanced at her and said, "Hmm, it doesn't really suit you."

Yun Mengxiao was furious. "Brother Jingyu, my cousin was just being impolite and got scolded by Grandpa again."

Lu Jingyu stepped aside to block the entrance to the main hall, and ruffled Yun Yao's hair. "I'll block it for you. Grandpa won't see. It's okay for you to eat heartily."
