Su Li didn’t go with Bai Huizi to snatch up the imported food.
After all, just the payment Bai Huizi gave her was enough to buy who-knows-how-many loaves of bread.
Since Bai Huizi liked it, she could have it.
“I want to eat what’s been chewed, Mother.”
After swallowing the bread from Su Li’s mouth, Bai Huizi tore off another piece and stuffed it into Su Li’s mouth, her eyes full of anticipation as she looked at Su Li.
Su Li didn’t hesitate for long and carried out Bai Huizi’s order directly.
When a customer gave clear instructions, it was much easier to fulfill, and there was no need to overthink.
That’s why Su Li actually liked serving Bai Huizi.
She got paid, and she didn’t have to figure out what to do.
As long as she did what Bai Huizi told her, that was enough.
On the contrary, customers whose needs she had to guess were more difficult to serve.
Even harder were those who gave her an order, but would be dissatisfied if she did exactly as told.
If she didn’t follow the instructions, they’d be even less satisfied, which made them much harder to deal with.
But no matter what kind of customer it was, she would always do her best—unless that customer wanted to run up a debt and not pay her, which she did find a bit unpleasant.
Su Li slowly chewed the food in her mouth and then fed it to Bai Huizi.
Honestly, she didn’t really understand what Bai Huizi was thinking—did she see her as a mother, wanting to be fed by Mother?
Or was she simply being playful?
No matter the answer, Su Li didn’t particularly care.
Sometimes, when she didn’t need to think about what she should do, she’d make a habit of pondering about her customers, just to improve her service quality and earn more pay.
Su Li watched as Bai Huizi tore the bread into small pieces and stuffed them into her mouth, waiting patiently to enjoy the imported food.
“Has Mother ever fed little sister like this?”
“No.”
Su Li replied calmly.
“Looks like I’ve won again~”
A smile appeared on Bai Huizi’s face, as if something delightful had happened.
Su Li remained silent.
Because, for the moment, she couldn’t quite tell if Bai Huizi was truly happy or just pretending.
She had known for a long time that Bai Huizi was clever, beautiful, and calculating.
If it was a battle of wits, she was no match for Bai Huizi.
So Su Li never tried to outthink Bai Huizi.
She had never thought about winning against her in that regard.
If she couldn’t figure something out, she just wouldn’t dwell on it, nor would she waste time on such things.
So Su Li didn’t continue guessing Bai Huizi’s intentions.
She simply played her part as the bread-chewing tool when Bai Huizi fed bread into her mouth, then fed it back to Bai Huizi.
“Shen Cishu can be as stubborn as Mother sometimes.”
“After Mother died, it wasn’t as if the Bai Family hadn’t given her opportunities.”
“They let her return to the Bai Family, even gave her a chance to change her surname, but she stubbornly refused.”
“So sometimes I really don’t understand her. On one hand, she believes I only have what I do because of the Bai Family’s support.”
“Yet at the same time, she complains about fate’s unfairness, thinking it’s because of Mother that her life was affected.”
“She’s just like a typical **—acting all high and mighty, refusing the Bai Family’s help.”
“But then she turns around and complains about her misfortune, despising what others have.”
Bai Huizi smiled, Su Li’s eyes on the bread in her hands—but this time, instead of feeding it to Su Li, Bai Huizi crushed it to crumbs in her grip.
“She’s just a **, a wretch.”
“I want her to slowly realize she isn’t as noble as she thinks she is.”
“And then come to deeply despise herself.”
“In the end, she’ll become exactly the person she once hated most.”
“So, Little Su Li, your third-stage task is…”
“To make Shen Cishu slowly discover what kind of person she truly is, and then come to deeply despise herself.”
Bai Huizi fed the bread in her hand into Su Li’s mouth, but this time, instead of eating the chewed food, she slowly pulled a napkin from the nearby table and wiped the bread crumbs from her fingers.
Su Li finished off the remaining bread, leaving nothing behind, but said nothing in reply.
“If you can complete this stage, I’ll give you five hundred thousand yuan.”
“Of course, if you can go straight to completing the third stage, it doesn’t matter even if the second stage isn’t done.”
“I’ll give you the money directly.”
As she spoke, Bai Huizi walked to the doorway.
Only then did Su Li notice that a package had appeared by the door at some point.
She guessed it might have been delivered while she was bathing.
That was the only time her attention wasn’t on Bai Huizi.
She watched as Bai Huizi took the items from the package, her expression still calm.
“These art supplies cost twelve thousand yuan in total.”
Noticing Su Li’s gaze, Bai Huizi smiled as she spoke.
She didn’t take all the art supplies out of the package, just a portion, for Su Li to see.
What disappointed her was that Su Li’s expression didn’t change at all.
“I thought Little Su Li’s face would show some surprise or some other reaction.”
“But this calm look suits Little Su Li the most.”
She said as she brought the bag to Su Li’s side, then opened the paint.
Afterwards, her eyes turned to Su Li.
“Some people really are tiresome.”
“Mother went out of her way to take her to the Art Museum, yet she insisted on throwing a tantrum and making things hard for Mother.”
“She doesn’t even try to be considerate. The family barely has any money—over ten thousand yuan is several months’ wages for Mother.”
“If she wants something, she could just work for it herself, but instead she puts the pressure on Mother.”
“Little Su Li, don’t you think people like that are really annoying?”
Bai Huizi spoke, but didn’t look at Su Li.
Su Li guessed that she and Shen Cishu had been tracked, but she didn’t really mind.
Instead, she looked at Bai Huizi.
“Eh, is that expression on Little Su Li’s face because she wants to pay for that annoying poor relative?”
“I really don’t know what to say about having such a poor relative.”
“It just so happens your Elder Sister is well-off.”
Bai Huizi said with a laugh.
“VFB received, twenty thousand yuan.”
