The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 555 - 552, The Beautiful Lady and Her Fragrant Car 5_1

"You’re smarter than them. What you lacked was merely an opportunity. Now, isn’t an opportunity right in front of you? Do you want to play the aloof idealist, only to then muddle through life like you’re stuck in the mud? Or do you want to be pragmatic, get into a prestigious school, and climb step by step, eventually making a name for yourself?"

She was furious, but she couldn’t dispute his harsh words. The most bizarre thing was that, for the first time, she clearly felt as if the ’rustic boor’ from the online chats had stepped out and was standing right in front of her. Only that guy could have spoken such harsh and brutal truths.

He used to be her mentor and friend. After they met in person, perhaps it was the distance between them, or perhaps it was the prejudice she’d always harbored against him. She could rarely feel that the real-life Wan Donglin had ever been such a ’mentor and friend’. This guy... all he ever seemed to think about was ’being intimate’. So sleazy, just like that pervert Wan Donglin from before. But now, that sharp-tongued and nasty guy had suddenly made a complete comeback.

She stared at him, stunned. His heart skipped a beat. That look in her eyes. TSK, TSK, TSK. This was the first time she’d ever looked at me like that.

He kept a straight face and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t admire me too much; it might make me conceited."

Yan Xixi: "..."

"HAHA, Xixi, remember everyone who ever looked down on you. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to get back at them..."

Her eyes welled up with tears. What nonsense is this guy talking about? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He said calmly, "Yan Xixi, let me give you a good idea. You’ve heard the saying ’revenge is a dish best served cold,’ right? For now, bear the humiliation, make good use of Lady Daqing’s resources and connections, go to Harvard, learn real skills, then slowly infiltrate Lady Daqing’s business empire. Then, give her a few grandchildren. See? That way, you’ll smoothly take over everything she’s spent her life building. The children are yours, right? If you’re happy, let her see them more often. If you’re not, teach the kids to be unfilial to her... Isn’t that the best revenge against her? HEH, HEH. Since she once despised you, she deserves it..."

She was at a loss for words, even forgetting to cry. What on earth is this guy babbling about?

"As for my sister, it goes without saying. After you have kids, don’t let them call her aunt. That will piss her off... HA HA HA..."

Yan Xixi: "..."

Seeing her almost smiling but not quite, tears still glistening in her eyes, her expression a mix of reluctance and embarrassment, Wan Donglin laughed heartily. "Xixi, what do you think? Isn’t the revenge plan I’ve cooked up for you satisfying? Pretty satisfying, right? If you truly want to make them eat their words, you have to strive to reach the very top, to look down on everyone. When that time comes, all your grievances will naturally vanish into thin air..."

She closed her eyes, an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Xixi..."

When he called her again, she pretended to be asleep.

He sat for a while, thinking she was faking it. But when he reached out and gently touched her eyelids, he realized she was truly asleep—she was even snoring softly. She must be so weak from the high fever that she couldn’t hold on any longer.

He gave a bitter smile, then gently pulled the blanket up a little higher over her. Looking at her closely, the figure on the bed was so pale. In his memory, the only other time she had looked this deathly white was when she emerged from the hospital room after the stillbirth. She had lost their child and had been forced to undergo surgery.
