In the Host's memory, Xia Jinmian had been beautiful and obedient since she was young. 10 years ago, she was even the most popular child in the orphanage.
However, the Host's nightmare began ever since Bai Yumo came to the orphanage.
Her friends distanced themselves from her, and her teachers always looked at her strangely. Even her childhood sweetheart, An Lan jilted her.
However, Bai Yumo was very nice to the Host, so the birdbrained Host did not suspect Bai Yumo at all. Instead, the victim of gaslighting thought the problem was with herself and was constantly second-guessing herself.
She gradually developed a cowardly personality and was eager to please others.
Xia Jinmian's gaze slowly fell on the white lotus in the crowd, and her red lips curled up diabolically.
So, Bai Yumo was a Green Tea B*tch?
She was going to have some fun with her then!
The courtyard suddenly fell silent as everyone stared at Xia Jinmian in a daze.
Their impression of Xia Jinmian was timid—so mousy that she did not dare to raise her head and look them in the eye.
Xia Jinmian blushed shyly when she saw An Lan sitting there and was at a loss.
How could she smile so charmingly now? Was she trying to seduce An Lan?
An Lan was also taken aback. When he came back to his senses, he frowned slightly and felt embarrassed.
"Xia Jinmian, that's enough! I've already made it clear to you that it was Bai Yumo that I liked from the start, not you. You misunderstood my feelings for you. Please stop making Bai Yumo misunderstand my feelings for her."
Xia Jinmian turned to look at An Lan in bafflement. This man had nothing between his ears?
At first glance, this man was indeed a little handsome. He had fair skin and beautiful facial features. He had the looks of a gigolo and had the potential to be a star.
He did seem to be aspiring to be a celebrity.
The Host was obsessed with him. But ever since finding out that An Lan liked Bai Yumo and was dumped by him, the Host had long let go. How can she be misunderstood to still carry a torch for him now?
Xia Jinmian's red lips curled into a mocking smile. "Who the heck do you think you are?"
An Lan was stupefied. So was everyone else.
Was this something that the lily-livered Xia Jinmian would say?
Also, what was the meaning of her mocking smile? Where did she get the audacity to laugh?
Bai Yumo looked at Xia Jinmian repeatedly. She was worried that Xia Jinmian really wanted to steal An Lan back. After all, the plan last night had failed.
No! An Lan belonged to her!
Bai Yumo immediately held An Lan's arm and said in a gentle and seductive tone, "Don't be angry, An Lan. Mianmian is joking with you. Let's make a wish first. Otherwise, the candles will be extinguished."
An Lan withdrew his angry glare and turned to look at Bai Yumo tenderly. "Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll take it that she's joking."
Xia Jinmian rolled his eyes. How interesting. This scumbag-and-b*tch pair.
Those sitting around Bai Yumo glared at Xia Jinmian before retracting their glares and looking at Bai Yumo expectantly to make a wish.
Bai Yumo pressed her palms together—closed her eyes—and made her wish.
"I hope that I, An Lan, Xia Jinmian, Xiao Shanshan, and all my friends in the orphanage will be together forever and be happy every day. I also want to seek blessings for An Lan's audition to be successful and Xia Jinmian's National Examination to be smooth sailing…"
Look at how sensible she was!
If the Host were here to hear this, she would probably be moved to tears.
An Lan raised his eyes and glared at Xia Jinmian—in an obvious accusation that Xia Jinmian was not as sensible as Bai Yumo.
