An Yu carried her milk tea, her face full of bewilderment.
Was this still her home? Why were there so many police?
Was drinking big pillow’s milk tea illegal?
Then here, take it back!
Seeing the situation turning bad, An Yu was about to sneak away and return home later, but she got swept along with the flow and was brought into the An Family home by the police.
The result was the scene before her now.
An Yu quietly sipped her milk tea, staring coldly at An Qing.
In reality, she was secretly asking the system in her mind what had happened.
[Host, the person lying on the ground is named Liu Huilan, the mother of Li Wenya.]
Oh, got it—the reborn heroine was taking revenge.
As long as it wasn’t revenge against her, it was fine; tomorrow she still had to sunbathe with big pillow.
“An Yu, welcome home.”
An Qing smiled gently, showing none of the iciness from earlier.
An Yu: ……
An Yu remained silent, lowering her head to look at the other cup of milk tea Ning Wanciu had given her.
Hmm, this milk tea was truly milk tea.
She directly chose to ignore An Qing’s greeting and walked straight toward her room.
Leaving An Qing standing there stunned.
Didn’t want to deal with her—the reborn heroine had too many schemes.
She felt like An Qing was the type who, if she nodded once, would resent herself for not nodding twice and thus raise her hatred value.
Too lazy for scheming; the milk tea was tasty and not finished yet.
An Qing: ?
Watching An Yu’s cold back, An Qing uncontrollably shivered.
What… did this mean?
She, who believed she understood An Yu very well, now found it hard to comprehend.
They hadn’t even torn faces yet…
After witnessing her methods, An Yu actually turned and left without a care—did she truly not regard her at all?
In other words, in An Yu’s eyes, she was less than the timid version of herself from the previous life?
Even in the previous life, An Yu had to pretend kindness to gain her trust, yet now she was completely ignored…
When exactly had she lost all value in An Yu’s eyes?
An Qing unconsciously clenched her fists; anger surged through her body, accompanied by a trace of helplessness rising in her heart.
This wasn’t the An Yu she wanted to see; she wanted An Yu in pain, An Yu in despair.
Just like she once was…
Irritated—she didn’t want to pretend anymore.
In An Qing’s ears rang Liu Huilan’s pig-like wails.
The sound echoed throughout the An Family villa, chilling the hearts of the servants who hadn’t left yet.
From their perspective, An Qing was dealing with a disobedient troublemaker; the next one would likely be Wang Man.
In an instant, the joy of a salary increase and fear of An Qing’s actions filled their hearts.
This was also one of An Qing’s goals; only by using both carrot and stick could she establish a foothold in the home.
Clap——clap——clap——
“Hahahaha!”
Applause accompanied by laughter—An Yunfan slowly approached; he had been observing in secret the whole time, watching how his biological daughter handled matters.
Very good—An Qing satisfied him greatly.
She eliminated a hidden danger and successfully established authority among the servants; two birds with one stone.
“Father.”
An Qing smiled and nodded at An Yunfan, not revealing a hint of her true emotions.
She had been waiting for An Yunfan.
Only by leaving a good impression on An Yunfan could she perform better at the Recognition Banquet.
“Very good, Qing’er, you did excellently.”
“You flatter me.”
She said that, but An Qing still nodded and accepted the praise.
“Hehe, Qing’er, do your best at the Recognition Banquet.”
An Yunfan nodded and left; from his smile, it was clear he was truly satisfied with An Qing.
“Mhm, I will.”
An Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling the details of the Recognition Banquet from her previous life.
In the previous life, An Yu’s outstanding performance drew all of Chen Yu’s attention, which further intensified An Qing’s crisis.
The An Family parents didn’t acknowledge daughters—they only valued utility; without value, her status was worse than a dog’s.
As for this time…
She certainly wouldn’t let An Yu have her way, and the Chen Family was also a target for her revenge.
The blazing hatred in her heart made An Qing abandon the idea of giving up; she would absolutely make An Yu pay.

Meanwhile, the one being schemed against, An Yu, was expressionlessly looking at Wang Man before her.
She always felt Wang Man’s expression was a bit off, looking very uncomfortable.
Wang Man slightly opened her mouth, then frowned and closed it, appearing hesitant to speak.
She couldn’t help but worry—how could such a pure and kind An Yu gain any advantage under someone like that?
Wang Man had seen everything, including An Qing’s methods.
An Qing had easily won over hearts and gained the master’s approval.
With the master deliberately allowing it, she, a mere servant, didn’t know what to do.
That’s why the uneasy Wang Man blocked An Yu’s room door, waiting for her.
“Aunt Wang?”
An Yu’s voice was as cool as ever.
“Ah……”
Hearing An Yu call her, Wang Man instinctively wanted to respond, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn’t say anything.
Looking at the hesitant Wang Man, An Yu tilted her head.
Was she… thirsty?
An Yu thought that being unable to speak meant being thirsty.
“Here.”
An Yu handed over the extra cup of milk tea along with the straw; being thirsty was indeed uncomfortable.
Anyway, she couldn’t finish two cups.
“Uh… Miss An Yu?”
Wang Man looked puzzled, not understanding what An Yu meant.
Seeing this, An Yu placed the milk tea and straw into Wang Man’s hand, then turned and left without looking back.
If you’re thirsty, just say so—she still had to hurry back to her room to play on her phone.
Feeling the cool touch in her hand, Wang Man stood frozen in place.
Miss An Yu must have seen Miss An Qing’s actions too; she knew her own situation was already dire.
But…
Looking at the milk tea An Yu had forcefully stuffed into her hand, Wang Man showed a bitter smile.
Even when she herself was in danger, An Yu still prioritized worrying about others.
Such a pure and kind Young Miss, like an angel—Wang Man could never bring herself to betray her.
Inserting the straw, Wang Man tasted the milk tea An Yu had brought back.
Very tasty; modern drinks were nice too—next time she could try making a healthier version for Miss An Yu.
Wang Man smiled and shook her head; she had made up her mind.
There was no rush to renew the contract; there was still time before it ended, and she didn’t need the extra salary—so during this period, she would do her best.
Though she was just a servant who could only cook, she could at least ensure An Yu didn’t go hungry.
“Miss An Yu, you must keep going…”
“Achoo!”
In her room, An Yu, who was about to play on her phone, suddenly sneezed—seeming like someone was talking about her.
An Yu showed a dead-fish eye expression.
It must be the reborn heroine plotting against her again—so yeah, reborn heroines were just unreasonable.
