12 White Lotus (2/2)

Bai Zhexi's liking for Zhuo Yao was very obvious. Her family was very embarrassed, even wanting Zhuo Yao to stay for a meal. Moreover, it was made into meat that she couldn't eat even once a week. Bamboo shoots weren't cheap either.

Wan Chao did not stop her. Bai Zhexi had not eaten meat for a long time, so she was going to make up for it today.

Zhuo Yao had a sweet smile on her face. ”Thank you, Auntie. Auntie really treats me so well.”

My mother treats you well, but how did you treat my mother! With a wooden face, she followed behind Bai Zhexi directly into the house, completely ignoring Zhuo Yao.

Zhuo Yao was slightly surprised in her heart. Although Wan Chao usually wore a cold expression, she would greet her sooner or later. Why did she ignore her today?

Zhuo Yao quickly relaxed. Perhaps it was because someone beat up Wan Chao today, she sneered in her heart. She didn't mind at all as she followed Wan Chao into her room.

”Chao'er, I heard that you fought with Liu Li and the others again today? When I heard this, I was very worried. I didn't even go home after school just to find you. ” Zhuo Yao's face was full of concern as she said to Wan Chao, ”Chao'er, what's going on? Tell me about it. ”

Wan Chao sneered and asked, ”Didn't you already hear about it?”

Zhuo Yao choked and then continued to speak with a sincere face, ”I don't believe what they've said. I only believe what you've said.”

”Hur hur, you really care about me.” Wan Chao mocked.

Zhuo Yao didn't seem to hear the ridicule from Wan Chao. In her eyes, her words were strange, and she said, ”We were good friends since we were young.”

At this moment, the sound of Bai Zhexi washing vegetables came from the kitchen. Wan Chao's lips curved upwards as she pointed at the wounds on her face.

”This was fought by Liu Li and Zhang Xiaoyu today. However, I did not let them off easy. Today, I also beat up Liu Li.”

”Huh?” Zhuo Yao's jaw dropped in shock. ”Did you really hit Liu Li?”

Wan Chao nodded with a cold expression.

”Chao'er!” Zhuo Yao snapped. She reached out her hand to hold Wan Chao's, but was disdainfully evaded. She didn't mind and continued speaking. ”Chao'er, don't you remember what I told you before?”

What did she say? You want me to not retaliate and get beaten up? It should mean that.

She raised her hand to stop Zhuo Yao's next words. ”Let's talk in the other room.” With that, she stood up and walked towards a door at the side.

Zhuo Yao was a little puzzled. She thought for a moment, it was as if Wan Chao wanted to find a more private space and tell her some secrets, so she followed her to that door.

Inside, there were a few chairs and some old furniture. It looked like a small storage room.

”Chao'er, I didn't think that there would be a storage room in your room. This place is indeed private, no one will ever hear what we said. Hehe.” Zhuo Yao said.

Wan Chao smirked, ”En.” She sat down in a chair.

Zhuo Yao had no choice but to sit on a chair opposite Wan Chao, with a grey cloth draped over her back.

Wan Chao pulled a rope from the wall and played around with it on her finger. Without even looking at Zhuo Yao, she casually said, ”Continue talking.”

”Ah?” ”Oh.” Zhuo Yao continued, ”Didn't I tell you before, don't get into a head-on conflict with Liu Li and the others …”

As Zhuo Yao was speaking, she didn't notice that the cloth behind her was slowly being pulled to the side, revealing a window at the back. Through the window, you could see Bai Zhexi busying herself in the kitchen.
