Does An Yu know how to play games?
Yes, she does.
At the very least, all the games she downloads are legitimate versions, without letting her phone get filled with a full bucket of viruses.
So when facing Ning Wanciu’s question, An Yu nodded proudly.
She does!
Yesterday and the day before were just some unpleasant accidents; rubbing the glass was too hard, the newbie tutorial had a bug—anyway, it wasn’t An Yu’s fault.
But letting time return to the present, An Yu sat in the car heading home, leaning against the window in a daze; her phone now had the contact information of Ning Wanciu and her younger sister.
Of course, that wasn’t important; what mattered was that she had been arrested.
An Yu couldn’t go home by herself like yesterday; instead, she was grabbed and shoved into the car.
It wasn’t An Qing who arrested her—An Qing would definitely avoid her like the plague, so it was impossible for her to come looking.
An Yu was certain.
Glancing at the reflection in the car window, An Yu remained expressionless and gave no reaction.
It was Jiang Qinghe; she had personally come to pick up An Yu.
If it weren’t for this mother who was completely unfamiliar with her showing up, An Yu would have thought she could skip tonight’s recognition banquet.
“Little Yu’er~”
Jiang Qinghe’s voice was sickly sweet as she called An Yu by her nickname.
Enduring the goosebumps all over her body, An Yu calmly turned her head to look at Jiang Qinghe.
An Yu didn’t quite understand; clearly, An Qing was already different from her previous life and had gained their approval.
So why was Jiang Qinghe still coming to her? What exactly did she want to do?
According to the plot provided by the system, there was no mention of the An family parents playing some game of supporting one side each; they always only went all-in on one person.
She didn’t understand and wanted to run away.
“Mmm, our little Yu’er is indeed very pretty.”
Jiang Qinghe smiled and nodded, but An Yu always felt there was something hidden in her words.
Sure enough, just as An Yu had anticipated, Jiang Qinghe continued speaking: “Tonight’s gathering is very important; little Yu’er, you have to perk up~”
“Tonight is An Qing’s recognition banquet.”
An Yu subconsciously spoke up.
She didn’t understand what Jiang Qinghe wanted to do; what did An Qing’s recognition banquet have to do with her?
Besides, An Yu had already given up—couldn’t she see that?
“Pfft, hehehe~ Little Yu’er, the recognition banquet is just a name for the gathering; it’s nothing more than a party.”
Jiang Qinghe was still smiling, but that smile looked somewhat cold.
“So, little Yu’er, you can also be the protagonist of tonight~”
Jiang Qinghe said as she reached out to straighten An Yu’s collar: “Pay attention to your image; many important people will be there tonight, and this is your opportunity too.”
As her voice fell, Jiang Qinghe suddenly yanked An Yu’s collar hard.
An Yu could even see the faint ferocious bloodshot veins in the corners of Jiang Qinghe’s eyes, completely losing her gentle appearance.
“You understand, right, little Yu’er?”
Jiang Qinghe had completely changed her expression; her smile was stiff as she stared dead into An Yu’s eyes.
After a long while, An Yu nodded coldly.
“Mmm, got it.”
“That’s good~”
Hearing An Yu agree, Jiang Qinghe reverted to her previous gentle demeanor: “You know, our little Yu’er is also very charming; after we get back, I’ll dress you up nicely~”
This time, An Yu didn’t respond nor refuse.
Because she really did know…
She knew Jiang Qinghe needed to use eye drops.
Big families are really terrifying; even when their eyes hurt, they can’t rest, and they don’t even have time to use eye drops.
But just because you don’t have time doesn’t mean you should glare at me!
She couldn’t really be expecting An Yu to, like in the original plot, steal all of An Qing’s spotlight and attract the Chen family young master’s attention, right?
Ugh, no way!
Loli-con, begone!
Anyway, at the recognition banquet, she would just find a corner to hide in; the great reborn heroine would definitely shield An Yu from all the perverts.
Grateful for the reborn heroine.
Only at times like this would An Yu think kindly of An Qing, she thought to herself.
The car soon arrived at the An family villa; Jiang Qinghe held An Yu’s hand and quickly got out, heading back inside the house.
Several servants were already waiting in the house with clothes and jewelry.
It seemed Jiang Qinghe had planned this in advance.
Looking at those complicated gowns, An Yu instantly wanted to escape, but being held by Jiang Qinghe, she had nowhere to run.
“Little Yu’er, come try which one suits you; we still have some time~” Jiang Qinghe smiled gently.
An Yu expressionlessly lifted her head; she was already surrounded by a group of people taller than her, like a trapped little kitten with no way to avoid it.
There’s no choice now…
An Yu was pulled into the room by Jiang Qinghe; helplessly closing her eyes and staying still, she let them start changing her clothes.
Fine, although there were many clothes to try, at least she didn’t have to put them on herself.
“Mmm, let’s try this one first~”
……
“It feels like it’s missing some flavor…”
……
“Hmm? This one… is pretty good!”
……
After a long while, An Yu, who had been manipulated the whole time, opened her eyes.
It seemed… it was over.
Jiang Qinghe in front of her looked at An Yu and nodded, finally showing a smile on her face.
“Mmm, little Yu’er, you look very beautiful~”
After saying that, Jiang Qinghe pulled An Yu in front of the full-length mirror; the mirror reflected An Yu’s current appearance.
The current An Yu had shed her childish school uniform and changed into a pure black high-waisted gown.
Seemingly to cover An Yu’s height deficiency, it was a short-style gown that maximized the display of An Yu’s fair, beautiful legs.
An Yu’s blue-white long hair was tied up high by Jiang Qinghe, revealing her graceful neck line.
It had to be said, it really looked good; even An Yu herself thought so.
The originally just cute little loli now had a touch of elegance under this outfit.
It looks good, so she can’t let the loli-con see it.
Once they arrive, she’ll secretly hide.
Unaware of An Yu’s thoughts, Jiang Qinghe maintained her gentle demeanor; she picked up a pair of shoes from the side and placed them in front of An Yu.
She bent down and whispered to An Yu: “Come, little Yu’er, try the shoes.”
An Yu subconsciously lowered her head to look.
Jiang Qinghe was quite considerate; not only helping her change shoes, but the shoes weren’t high heels—they were ordinary loafers.
An Yu obediently lifted her jade-like foot gently, slowly slipping it into the shoe to try.
It was fine; no uncomfortable feeling.
She always felt like Jiang Qinghe had prepared for a long time; she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination.
After putting the shoes on An Yu, Jiang Qinghe stood up and circled around An Yu, looking left and right.
“Mmm… I always feel like something’s still missing…”
Jiang Qinghe’s brows lightly furrowed; she felt something was empty.
“Ah, that’s it!”
Jiang Qinghe’s eyes lit up; she reached out and took off a necklace from herself, putting it on An Yu.
“Mmm, now it’s perfect!”
Jiang Qinghe nodded, seeming completely satisfied: “Little Yu’er, you really are very beautiful, so you must do your best~”
This wasn’t a suggestion; it was a command.
