The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother-Chapter 16: Originally, people had come here to curse at Lin Yiyi, but their attention ended up gravitating towards Meng Yuran (1)

Chapter 16 – Originally, people had come here to curse at Lin Yiyi, but their attention ended up gravitating towards Meng Yuran (1)

Having cooked a scrumptious lunch for her son at noon, before dropping the food off, Lin Yiyi took photos of it in the passing.

The food in the nine uploaded pictures looked very tempting. It felt as if one could smell the appetizing scents just by looking at the photos.

These photos didn’t match her previous style of Weibo updates. The people that saw this update couldn’t quite figure out what was going on and scrolled up to confirm that this post was really from Meng Yan’s annoying and ostentatious ex-wife.

Lin Yiyi hadn’t deleted the original Lin Yiyi’s previous Weibo posts.

Although the bottom of those posts had been full of curses and criticism by many people and the content had been quite boring – it was just her flaunting her wealth followed by more flaunting of wealth, it was what had been left behind by the original Lin Yiyi. Even if that many people disliked and looked down on her, she had appeared before them and what they had talked about. She was the character that had only been briefly described in the novel. She was a mother that had left behind two children.

However, although the style of her Weibo posts had changed, it didn’t changed the public’s opinion of Lin Yiyi.

[Afternoon cool herbal tea: Hey, come look, that pretentious women has become a virtuous wife and loving mother.]

[Kyoko Hasegawa: Is this to show that she’s changed? Sorry, even if you change into a small celestial fairy, your reputation is already irremediable. You might as well wash up and leave the entertainment circle as early as possible.]

[Plum dried vegetables and steamed pork: The food looks quite good. But, did you really cook these dishes yourself? No one would believe this, right? Big Brother Yan has said in shows that you don’t know how to cook at all. Give up on trying to clean up your image.]

[Reprimanding you to healthiness: Big Brother Yan and Zhang Xiying posted photos of delicious food they had eaten at restaurants a few days ago, and today you posted these photos. You’re doing this deliberately, right? Could you get any lower?]

Of course, there were also comments by other people. However, regardless of what they wrote, it was all to mock and ridicule her. Even if Lin Yiyi didn’t read this, she could guess the outcome. After she posted on Weibo, she didn’t bother paying attention to the reaction. That’s why she didn’t know that someone had forwarded her Weibo post later.

In a sixth grade classroom, it was currently the interval between classes.

There were students that were bickering and chatting amongst themselves, and there were also students that were quietly looking down to do their homework. Meng Yuran sat in the classroom’s last row.

He had his growth spurt early and was tall for his age. Since second grade, he had been assigned to sit at the back of the classroom every year.

Taking out his phone from his backpack, he opened the Weibo app. Searching that name in his following list, he saw that her latest update were photos of the food that he had eaten that afternoon and couldn’t resist smiling a bit.

However, after he saw the comments below, the smile that was almost unnoticeable immediately disappeared.

After a period of silence, he responded to her Weibo update and forwarded it.

Meng Yuran had his own phone and had made a Weibo account a long time ago.

It wasn’t just him. A lot of his classmates had phones and used Weibo too. There were many people that paid attention to his Weibo account including: his classmates and people in his grade, as well as people in grades below him. But, the majority of these people were girls.

Someone sat down in the empty seat next to him. It was Xu Jie.

Xu Jie and his two friends had just come back from buying drinks at a snack counter. Seeing that Meng Yuran had his head lowered and was doing something on his phone, Xu Jie stretched his head over to see what Meng Yuran was doing.
