Chapter 402: Chapter 368: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Mistress Sabotages Effortlessly 8
Besides these, there were no other possessions in her room. Zhiruan now found herself in a massive villa where despite being a young lady of the house, her room could not even compare to that of a servant’s.
Ning Fu naturally knew how to deal with people. She claimed it was to toughen up her daughter, yet she would not mistreat the servants—though they were hired with her own money, she treated everyone equally regardless. Zhiruan did not know what the servants thought, but she found this behavior quite disgusting.
However, Ning Fu’s smugness would not last long.
It was today that Zhiruan had deliberately told her about Su Qin and Zhu Manqing. Although Ning Fu always flaunted her public image, Zhiruan knew that people who care so much about their facade care even more when it shatters, and this truth had squarely hit her in the face.
Zhiruan took off her coat and lay on the bed. She was very tired now; she had been in this world for less than three hours but had already been through a lot—from debates on the street to being taken to the police station, later encountering Su Qin and his mistress, and then coming back to confront Ning Fu. She had just arrived in this world, and her mind was still dizzy, and her body was covered in injuries. Zhiruan thought about letting herself relax first.
The original owner of the body was just a high school student about to take her college entrance exams, and she had to go to school tomorrow.
As one would expect, Ning Fu would naturally not allow her to take a day off. The original owner was not popular at school, with poor peer relations. Although the teachers liked her, they could not stand up to so many students opposing her, so they treated her as if she were invisible.
There were even many who bullied the weak but feared the strong, specifically targeting the original owner. Her personality, oppressed by Ning Fu, was obedient and never spoke up for herself, so she just remained silent and bowed her head.
Seeing her , the bullies grew even more arrogant and their actions became increasingly outrageous.
The original owner lived in this kind of environment and would return home only to be tortured and verbally abused by Ning Fu. Even Zhiruan hadn’t expected that her living conditions would be this harsh.
If she wanted to establish herself in this world, she had to first handle the issues at home and school before she could afford to focus on other matters, such as searching for the child of the dimension.
Fortunately, when she first arrived in this world, her mind worked quickly. By using her injuries and pretending to be pitiful, she successfully obtained several hundred thousand and a mobile phone. It was worth noting that the original owner had never owned a mobile phone before, and Ning Fu never allowed her to have a mobile phone or any contact with the outside world, being very secretive about her plans.
Zhiruan went online to search for information about this world and found that it was no different from the modern world she had experienced before, whether in terms of technological development or other aspects.
As for the money, Zhiruan allocated a portion for financial investment, while she saved the rest. She had to find a secure path for her future. If things followed the original plot, then Ning Fu would certainly try to block her from getting a recommendation for college. This time, regarding the recommendation, Zhiruan decided to keep it a secret, but if it got out, then she would have to continue with the entrance exams. She needed to be prepared to succeed in either path.
If she got into college, considering Ning Fu’s character, she might use the excuse of making her toughen up and compare her to poorer students, refusing to pay her tuition and living expenses. Thus, Zhiruan did not intend to engage in high-risk investments with this money.
Suddenly, a rhythmic knocking came from outside the door. Zhiruan got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to open it.
“Miss, it’s me. Madam has already left, I don’t know where. I’ve prepared some food for you; please come out and have something to eat while it’s hot!” The speaker was an elderly grandma from the Su family; she had a rather fierce appearance. But she was someone Ning Fu encountered on the street, and she felt that having such a tough person in the Su Family could better showcase her status and help her manage many things.
Originally, Ning Fu thought that the person she brought back would be loyal to her, but after the grandma came, she secretly favored Zhiruan a little more. Often, when Ning Fu was out, she would bring some fruits and snacks for the original owner without Ning Fu noticing, treating her almost like her own granddaughter.
