My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1810: Heart Skips a Beat

Yiyi comforted, "It’s okay, I accidentally got it dirty, so I went to change it."

In reality, this dress really put her in a tough spot, just a few minutes, where could she find clothes?

But she also understood the trick of the person who caused this, wanting her to make a big fool of herself, so she absolutely couldn’t wear the dirty clothes here.

Anxiously, she glanced at the curtains hanging all around the room, had a sudden idea, pulled down the curtain fabric, and indeed the curtain texture at the Governor’s Mansion was quite nice. She took scissors, cut out two sleeveless armholes, slipped it on, then tied a curtain rope around her waist, making it barely resemble a long dress.

But time was ultimately tight, going like this would only lead to trouble.

So she decided to go all out, ran to the garden, and picked a bouquet of flowers, planning to create the image of an innocent little girl who got injured picking flowers while waiting for her father’s arrival. Even if Governor Yun didn’t like her, at least it gave her a reasonable excuse for being late, so she wouldn’t make things difficult for Madam Aisha.

Unexpectedly, when she rushed in, she saw Wu Bai. Knowing how smart she was, she recognized the importance of this guest to Yun Xingbo.

If she could please him, it would definitely be a great achievement, making Yun Xingbo happy.

So she straightforwardly changed directions, gave the flowers to Wu Bai, and this impressive performance indeed pleased Yun Xingbo, who even smiled warmly and said he wanted to give her a gift.

Clearly, he had no interest in meeting her before this. But she had made an achievement, most importantly to improve Madam Aisha’s situation, and earn some respect for her, so Governor Yun would be kinder to Madam Aisha, which was her foster mother’s heartfelt wish.

At least she hoped she could repay a little to her poor foster mother.

The meal was quite strange, Yun Xingbo was in a good mood, chatting and laughing with Wu Bai, discussing politics, economics, various topics. Mrs. Yun, as usual, adeptly concealed her emotions, presenting a calm and composed expression, perfectly showcasing the demeanor of the household’s matriarch.

Yiyi and Madam Aisha remained inconspicuous, concentrating on their food.

Only Qingqing was filled with anger, secretly glaring fiercely at Yiyi, but evidently she didn’t recognize Yiyi. The transformation of Yiyi was so drastic, from a stunning beauty to such plainness, she couldn’t connect these two people as the same.

But that didn’t stop her from hating Yiyi.

Because she saw Wu Bai, whom she was enamored with, actually saying Yiyi’s hand was injured, and so kindly cutting steak for her.

This entire scene truly infuriated her.

Of course, she didn’t think Wu Bai had feelings for that plain girl, merely gentlemanly taking care of that annoying girl, but still, she found it very unpleasant, thinking Yiyi was detestable, clearly just a girl from the lower tier of Yalan Country, yet became her sister and received Wu Bai’s attention.

Utterly infuriating.

She absolutely wouldn’t let this girl off.

After the meal, Madam Aisha and Yiyi had to leave.

"Take this box of ointment, apply it well on your hand’s wound, don’t let it touch water, or it’ll scar," Wu Bai spoke gently, handing a box of ointment to Yiyi with a very caring expression.

Yiyi was quite surprised, meeting his concerned bright smile as his deep eyes looked at her with a smile, and her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

She couldn’t resist accepting it.

Beside her, Qingqing’s teeth were practically grinding with hatred. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After everyone dispersed, Mrs. Yun smiled, pulling her daughter, who was about to explode with anger:
