I Became A Hit After My Divorce!-Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Continue Playing the Victim

Qiao Qiao could only give up, but her eyes were unfriendly.

When they saw Qiao Qiao lower her arms, Hao Kai and Wu Ya both breathed a silent sigh of relief. They wouldn’t have to take a beating. They’d had the privilege of witnessing Miss Qiao’s combat prowess and didn’t want to try it at all.

After that, the four of them ate with their heads lowered. For some reason, the four of them started to snatch the dishes. They ate as if they were in the army.

In the end, the six dishes and the soup were wiped clean. The waiters who came to collect the plates felt that they did not even have to wash them anymore.

“Sister Lan, you treated us to food, so I have to return the favor.” Hao Kai burped. This was the first time he had eaten so much.

“No need.” Le Yao waved. “Just pretend you don’t know me when you see me in the future.”

Hao Kai and Wu Ya: ...

“Did you hear that?” Qiao Qiao glared.

“I heard it.” Hao Kai pouted. “But I still have to pay you back.”

“And me. I have to return the favor too.” Wu Ya nodded. “My family has also taught me since I was young that it’s good to reciprocate favors. I can’t take advantage of others.”

“You...” Qiao Qiao slammed the table.

Le Yao pressed Qiao Qiao’s hand down and glanced at the two black-hearted radishes. “There’s really no need.” If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t think it was good to have bloodshed in school, she really wouldn’t have stopped Qiao Qiao.

“Sister Lan, don’t be so petty.” Tears welled up in Hao Kai’s eyes. “It’s my birthday next week. Won’t you do me the honor? You know I’m illegitimate and not well-liked at all...”

Wu Ya nodded as well. “Yes, poor little Kai. Can you really bear to upset him?”

Le Yao was speechless.

Qiao Qiao was speechless.

So what if you’re an illegitimate child and you’re not well-liked? Le Yao thought.

“Okay? Sister Lan?” Hao Kai continued to play the victim.

“Stop playing the victim. I don’t have any money or gifts. Why don’t you hurry up and ask your brother Jue to transfer the money to me? I’ll have money then.”

Hao Kai was speechless.

He almost broke his act again.

“I’m happy as long as Sister Lan is there. There’s no need for gifts, really.”

“Yes, it’s too materialistic to talk about gifts.” Wu Ya nodded along.

“Alright, I like eating for free.” Le Yao nodded helplessly. “I’ll bring Qiao Qiao along. I guess you guys don’t mind a freeloader, right?”

Hao Kai was speechless.

“It doesn’t matter. Little sis Qiao is welcome to come along.”

“I knew Little sis Lan was the kindest,” Wu Ya said, nodding.

Le Yao’s expression darkened. Who was he calling little sis?. At the very least, she’d been married to Nangong Jue for a year. It’s fine if he doesn’t call her sister-in-law, but now he’s directly calling her little sis?

Even that little bastard Hao Kai knew to call her older sister.

Whatever. She wouldn’t argue with a brat.

On the other hand, Hao Kai and Wu Ya knew when to stop. They hurriedly took their leave gracefully. If they walked any slower, they were worried that they would break and not be able to maintain their persona. They were even more worried about being beaten up by Qiao Qiao.

“She... does seem different,” Wu Ya said, glancing over his shoulder.

Hao Kai nodded. “Indeed.” His lips curved. “Much more interesting than before.”

“Unfortunately, Brother Jue-”

“Wu Ya.” Hao Kai hooked an arm around Wu Ya’s shoulder. “Don’t you think she’s more real than Yan?”

“You-”

However, Hao Kai said nothing more. He just let go, put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked away, whistling.
