When the Green Tea Female Side Character Wants to Ridicule the Male Lead - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
The servants also advised Ruan Chacha on the side, “Madam, even if you love the master, you cannot cover up the fact that he hit someone.” Several servants spoke up for Ruan Chacha, but they did not dare to confront Dugu Mohan as boldly as Xi Le did.
Ruan Chacha was at a loss for words. She wanted to say something, but the servants and the steward spoke one after another, leaving her unable to get a word in. Was this considered a loss of control over the situation?
Whether it was a loss of control or not, she didn’t know. All she knew was that the tension in the atmosphere was escalating, and she could barely contain her laughter at the incessant banter.
In the end, Dugu Mohan’s face turned black, and he stormed out, slamming the door. Ruan Chacha stole a glance and saw that he had returned to his room, finally allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t just about him leaving; after the recent big commotion, the value of green tea has risen to 90 points, and it’s easy to imagine how intense it was just now..
The butler planned to inform the old master to give Dugu Mohan a good lesson. The situation was not looking optimistic.
Ruan Chacha stopped watching TV and secretly planned how to deal with Dugu Mohan when she went to the old house. Sometimes she felt a bit soft-hearted, but when she thought of the original owner’s fate, her heart immediately hardened. For someone as wicked as the male lead, why should she be soft-hearted? Thinking of her own ending, she pitied herself.
“Sigh…” Ruan Chacha let out a long breath in the dark night. Even if it was difficult, she had to accumulate enough “green tea points.” Avoiding Uncle Xing when necessary would suffice.
Having figured it out, she went to sleep. Perhaps she was truly tired or had cried too much; she had a dreamless night.
When she woke up, the day had already dawned. Ruan Chacha stretched lazily, got out of bed, and noticed that her foot was visibly improving day by day. Soon, she wouldn’t need the crutch.
After freshening up, she went downstairs for breakfast. “Good morning,” Ruan Chacha said, greeting the servants and the butler with a smile. They had already become accustomed to Ruan Chacha’s change in character, and it was a good thing.
Just as she sat down, Dugu Mohan also opened his door. Seeing Ruan Chacha in the dining room downstairs for a moment, she could feel that he wanted to turn around and go back to his room.
Ruan Chacha wasn’t about to give him that chance. She shouted, “Brother Mohan, good morning!” and greeted him with a radiant smile.
Dugu Mohan, who was about to turn back, immediately felt the gaze of the butler and servants downstairs.
Dugu Mohan: “…”
He stopped his retreat to the room, seeming to feel a tingling sensation on his scalp at the sight of Ruan Chacha.
Ruan Chacha was delighted with her successful move. She didn’t want to see him, but if he didn’t want to see her, that was even better. Did he think she was easy to deal with?
Dugu Mohan silently went downstairs to have breakfast. The dishes were the same, but Xi Le had a clear dislike for Dugu Mohan.
Ruan Chacha ate her breakfast in peace. If she could avoid causing trouble, she would. She planned to see if he was going out later; if he did, she would follow.
Before Ruan Chacha could make a move, however, some visitors arrived.
Looking at the two women on the opposite sofa, Dugu Mohan, who was sitting next to Ruan Chacha, obviously didn’t want to be too close and chose a side sofa.
Ruan Chacha didn’t pay attention to this obvious detail, but one of the two visiting women, a woman in her twenties, noticed it and chuckled, covering her mouth.
From that smile, Ruan Chacha could sense the mockery and disdain. Observing her surroundings, she realized that Dugu Mohan had placed quite a wide gap between them.
She knew why the woman across from her was laughing, but Ruan Chacha didn’t care. With her bold moves, she could scare away even ghosts. It was normal for people to keep their distance from her.
However, this woman across from her was so attractive, she must be… Bai Yu Guang? It seemed like she was Dugu Mohan’s white moonlight. (T/N: White moonlight = someone that you used to be in love with. You still hold a candle for the ex and haven’t gotten over it.)
“Auntie, how come you have time to visit today?” Dugu Mohan was the first to speak, not sparing a second glance at the woman beside his aunt.
Dugu Xiaoling didn’t like Ruan Chacha very much, but she didn’t want to show it too openly. “Bai Xin just came back from abroad, and she wanted to visit you.”
Bai Xin smiled meaningfully at Dugu Mohan. “Long time, no see.”
Dugu Mohan greeted her expressionlessly, “Long time, no see,” then fell into a deathly silence.
Bai Xin hadn’t expected such a reaction from him, and her expression fell.
Ruan Chacha looked left and right, playing the role of a bystander. This was Dugu Mohan’s white moonlight, as mentioned in the original text. Bai Xin had been pursuing Dugu Mohan throughout their school days, for about three years. Finally, Dugu Mohan gave in, but then Bai Xin suddenly went abroad for studies.
It was quite melodramatic, but that’s how it goes. Without such twists, how would the male and female leads meet? In the original text, Bai Xin was quite formidable, with impressive combat skills. If it weren’t for the female lead’s aura, she might not have been able to snatch Dugu Mohan away. After all, Bai Xin was used to taking the initiative.
Not many men could resist the charm of a woman who actively approached and pursued them, especially when the woman was so perfect and flawless. If she were a man, she probably wouldn’t be able to resist either.
Dugu Xiaoling didn’t like Ruan Chacha, and it was evident from the way she spoke. “Chacha, why not call me Auntie?” She raised an eyebrow, clearly indicating she wasn’t someone to be easily dealt with.
Ruan Chacha pretended to be helpless, shaking her head slightly. “I’m sorry, Auntie. You’ve become more and more beautiful, and I was so captivated that I forgot.” She really didn’t want to flatter, but sensing the unfriendly vibes from the aunt, she decided to lay the groundwork for her character and set the stage for a smooth operation later.
Dugu Xiaoling paused, looking Ruan Chacha up and down, curious about the significant change in her personality.
“What happened to your leg?” Dugu Xiaoling noticed Ruan Chacha’s injured leg only now.
Dugu Mohan had a very bad premonition, and alarm bells were ringing in his mind.
Sure enough, Ruan Chacha’s gaze shifted to him, and she nervously hugged her arm, looking at Dugu Mohan with a seemingly fearful expression, as if she were afraid of him.
“I… my leg is…” Her face turned pale, and she stuttered in fear. The butler and the servants couldn’t bear to see her like this.
Xi Le handed Ruan Chacha a cup of warm water. “Madam, calm down.”
The butler gestured for Xi Le to pat Ruan Chacha on the back, helping her ease her emotions.
Dugu Xiaoling, watching this scene, suddenly understood something and looked at her nephew in surprise. “Chacha, what’s happening?” Could she really be injured by him?
As soon as she asked, both the butler and the servants fell silent. Dugu Mohan was visibly angered, showing no signs of calming down.
Trembling, Ruan Chacha sipped a small amount of water from the cup. “Auntie, it’s nothing to do with Brother Mohan. It was my carelessness. Please don’t misunderstand, Auntie.”
Dugu Xiaoling, hearing this, probably confirmed what she suspected.
Dugu Mohan glared angrily at Ruan Chacha. “Stop talking nonsense all the time.” If he had an accident someday, it would definitely be because she had angered him to death.
Terrified, Ruan Chacha shrank back, immediately covering her mouth and not daring to make a sound. She knew how to cooperate, huh? She would have her turn later.
The butler and the servants were uncomfortable hearing Mr. Dugu speak about the madam in that way.
Dugu Xiaoling looked at Ruan Chacha, then glanced at Dugu Mohan, furrowing her brows. She didn’t say anything further.
The living room fell into silence again, and probably only Bai Xin was exceptionally happy.
Bai Xin was focused on Dugu Mohan, and his aversion and resistance toward Ruan Chacha were what she wanted to see. This woman didn’t pose a threat to her.
“Mohan, is your work going smoothly now?” Bai Xin broke the silence.
Dugu Mohan replied with just two words, “Not bad,” and then used his eyes to warn Ruan Chacha frantically.
Of course, Ruan Chacha received Dugu Mohan’s warning. She subtly curved her lips, indicating her response to his warning. It was quite a scene, and she wouldn’t let it slip. His imagination was quite beautiful.
Bai Xin didn’t notice the silent exchange between the two; she was actively chatting with Dugu Mohan. She even took the initiative to sit on the sofa next to him. Dugu Xiaoling pretended not to see anything, as if it were normal.
The butler and the servants couldn’t bear to watch. This was shamelessly seducing the master.
Ruan Chacha didn’t need to look to know that there would definitely be such a scene. In the original text, the original owner had many conflicts with Bai Xin, but Bai Xin always emerged victorious.
She sat there “uneasily,” watching them talk. In reality, Dugu Mohan barely said anything. His responses were mainly “Hmm, yes, okay.” This was how he handled conversations most of the time.
