My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1808: Putting On an Act

"It’s the new miss," a servant exclaimed.

Yun Qingqing’s eyes lit up, and she turned around hastily. That lowly girl from Yalan Country had finally appeared. Such a filthy girl wants to be her sister? Dream on!

At their first meeting, she wanted to make this girl look utterly ridiculous and become the laughingstock of the guests.

But when she looked back at the girl appearing at the doorway, her face froze, her eyes widened instantly. Where was that filthy girl? What was going on? Why was it completely different from what she imagined?

All she saw was a frail, pitiable girl standing barefoot at the door. Her loose, curly hair was intertwined with a few fresh green leaves, her face showed an innocent and wandering expression. She bit her lip, holding a large bouquet of fresh roses, standing there helplessly.

Although her small face wasn’t very pretty, and she dressed very ordinarily, that aura, that pitiful scene, along with her hands clutched around the flowers—those snow-white small hands covered in blood and filled with thorns—made one’s heart involuntarily soften, giving rise to a strong sense of pity and a desire to protect.

Yun Qingqing was about to explode with anger. What was going on?

Wasn’t a filthy and annoying, timid girl supposed to appear, making the atmosphere awkward and her father furious?

What exactly did that fool Xiao Xi do? He clearly said over the phone that everything was settled, that this girl was supposed to be dirty and smelly all over.

But now the girl standing in front of her, where was she even dirty? Where did she get those clothes from? Wasn’t she not supposed to be given a change of clothes?

"This is Governor Yun’s new daughter? She seems to be a completely different type from what I imagined—a well-behaved and adorable girl." Wubai’s gaze fell on Jun Yiyi’s bleeding small hands, filled with a tone of empathy.

Hearing this familiar gentle voice, Jun Yiyi was truly startled, nearly breaking character from that weak, pathetic expression on her face. Fainting, how could she meet someone she knew here too?

This man, wasn’t he Captain Wubai from the seventh squad on the battlefield that day?

Meeting in such an occasion was truly embarrassing, especially since she was still putting on an act.

However, it seemed like Wubai didn’t recognize her. Ah, right, that day the two of them were both covered in dirt from the explosion smoke. If it weren’t for his unique soft voice, she wouldn’t have recognized him either. It’s likely he didn’t recognize her now.

Jun Yiyi felt somewhat relieved.

She didn’t really want Wubai to see her like this. Though it couldn’t be called ugly, it certainly wasn’t pretty either.

"..." Yun Qingqing heard Wubai use a gentle, empathetic voice to praise that girl, and her heart instantly turned sour and angry. That stinking girl from Yalan dared to steal her thunder and attract the attention of the distinguished guests?

Hmph, seeking death.

"Why are you so late? Do you know you’ve kept Father and the guests waiting for you for a long time? Letting the guests wait for a little girl like you, have you no shame? Holding such a large bouquet of flowers, are you a flower addict? It seems you’re so enamored that you didn’t even come to dinner. Such arrogance and disrespect, you clearly don’t regard Father at all."

Yun Qingqing harshly pinned the crime on Jun Yiyi. Her father couldn’t tolerate the younger generation disregarding him.

Jun Yiyi recoiled slightly, her eyes full of timid fear.

"Aisha, this is the good daughter you’ve raised," Yun Xingbo snorted angrily.

Madam Aisha lowered her head, feeling wronged.

"I..." She opened her mouth in panic, then looked at Yun Xingbo, who was glaring at her displeased, and then at Wubai sitting beside Yun Xingbo. With a shift in her resolve, she already understood.

"Father, it’s not like that."

She nervously said, then with a look of mustering courage and innocence, walked over in front of Wubai.
