Every Vicious Woman Needs a Loyal Man

Chapter 3: To be a Childish Woman...

Lou Yaoyao was immediately discharged from the hospital on that day. Since there wasn’t anything wrong with her body, she rather not stayed in the hospital. Although Fang Xilei did not approve, but she also couldn’t persuade Lou Yaoyao, so she had to consent, thus Lou Yaoyao being discharged was unavoidable.

The first thing to do after go home was to take a bath. As for Lou Qingqing who was doing household chores in the lounge with hesitant eyes, Lou Yaoyao completely ignored her existence, Lou Qingqing had better not provoke her, or else she would let Lou Qingqing experience what was called truly vicious!

In the past life, precisely because she had cherished her reputation too much, although there were a lot of cursing, but beside from quarrelling and throwing some sarcastic words, she basically hadn’t done anything excessive. Other people assumed that she treated her elder sister like servant, secretly beating her. However in reality, how could that happened? Lou Qingqing had her Papa who cares so much about her.

Beside... She was no match for Lou Qingqing...

Embarrassedly speaking, Lou Yaoyao —who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood and didn’t like to do exercise— was only one metre sixty two tall, whereas Lou Qinqing was one metre sixty eight tall. Even if the height didn’t matter, their figures were also quite different. Lou Yaoyao wasn’t an airport runway(flat-chest), she could also be a little proud of, but compared to Lou Qingqing’s magnificent shape, it wasn’t worth a thing.

1,62 m is about 5’4” and 1,68 m is about 5’6”, I think? (Sorry if I’m wrong. I too, use metric system.)

After Lou Yaoyao finished her bath, she stood dejectedly in front of a mirror with bath towel wrapped around her body. She couldn’t help but to look at her own feet. Her toes were round as pearl and glossy as jade, the skin was also tender and smooth. In the past life, in order to not to be inferior to Lou Qingqing, she had always worn more than ten centimetres high-heels. Not to mention that she had to endure hardship, her pair of feet had also —due to long term of not being let out— changed their shape.

10 cm ~ 4 inches?

Lou Yaoyao couldn’t help but to be somewhat grateful, now it wasn’t too early nor too late. If it had been two years later, Lou Qingqing would had been graduated to ‘become independent’, she would had transformed from the plain and simple style of dress in her school period, to the sexy White Bone Spirit’s look, dazzling men with allure. Everyone said that was because she had broken away from the family who had been ‘mistreating’ her, and thus turned over a new leaf.

Jealousy made people crazy, especially when you found that the one that had always been inferior to you, was leaving you far behind. That taste was suffice to wipe out reason and rationality.

Lou Yaoyao pushed open the bathroom’s door, her bare feet stepped on the soft woolen rug, her toes were completely stretched out. As that soft and wonderful sensation was transmitted to her brain, all of her worries seemed to be completely away. Lou Yaoyao slowly walked step by step and for the first time thoroughly observed her own bedroom.

The snow white soft woolen rug was on the floor, the light blue curtains were hung by the side of the french window. A large bed, which was enough for her to roll ten times on it without even falling down, was arranged in the middle of the room. The pink bed drapes were hung above, the bed sheet was pink, the quilt was pink, the pillow was pink, and there were even a pair of human-sized pink bunny dolls at the bedside. This was probably the princess bedroom in a little girl’s dream. Lou Yaoyao sat on the bed, she was feeling nostalgic about these bunny dolls. It was very hard to imagine that this kind of cute arrangement was done by her stern old-fashioned Maternal Grandfather.

By the time Mama had been born, Maternal Grandfather had been nearly fifty years old. It’s reasonable to say that when elderly gains a daughter, it’s normal to be extremely doting. But Mama, who had lost her mother just after she had been born, had been raised and educated like a son by Maternal Grandfather. He had been extremely strict, because he had known that he had been old, that he wouldn’t have been able to protect her for many years later. He had been worried that after his death, his daughter would be bully by others. Therefore, he would have rather endured his daughter’s resentment, and had ruthlessly alienated his daughter.

But perhaps in order to make up for never being close to mother, the extremely strict Maternal Grandfather had been tremendously doting to Lou Yaoyao. He seemed to had given everything to Lou Yaoyao, what he originally hadn’t been able to give to Mama.

Lou Yaoyao thought that perhaps this bedroom, was what Maternal Grandfather had wanted for Mama.

However this dreamy bedroom, was entirely rearranged by Lou Yaoyao two years later in a fit of rage.

A twenty two years old woman yet still lived in a sparkly pink princess bedroom, she would be ridicule by mature woman, because this was very childish!

Over the years, Lou Yaoyao had missed more than once, missed her princess bedroom, missed her childishness. Only after ones had become grown up women did they understand that that kind of childishness —that they had always wanted to grow up when they were little— was what they heavily yearned for now, but wasn’t able to get. Because they were already a grown up woman and these kind of childish things were belong to little children.

A little girl who wore princess dress was forever innocent and adorable. A grown-up women who wore princess dress, even though it was just a slightly cute, a little immature dress, were a fake who pretended to be pure!

Heaven knows how Lou Yaoyao had wanted to do it all over again!

But she hadn’t been able ah, because she had not wanted be inferior to Lou Qingqing ah, she had not wanted to be said by others that she was unfeminine ah, she had not wanted to be said that she had not have any sex appeal ah!

Just for these ‘not wanted to’’s, those years, her life had been extremely tiresome.

The moment she saw this bed, Lou Yaoyao decided that this time, she would carefully treasure each and every of these, she wouldn’t let anyone change these!

As for other people’s opinions? In those years, beside being ridicule, what else had she gotten? Keep on laughing, ok? I will treat them as compliments and receive all of them!

With a sharply risen good mood, Lou Yaoyao was cheerfully and lightheartedly pacing, walking back and forth inside the room. The kitten shaped dressing table, the cosmetics weren’t in disorder, this’s really good! The clean and neat dressing room, didn’t have any dress that was too open nor too sexy, all was cute, this’s really good! Each and every furnitures was painted with sparkly pink, this was indeed very good!

To be a childish woman, it’s really good!

Lou Yaoyao was almost going crazy, up until Aunty Liu knocked on the door to remind her that she should have dinner, only then did she reluctantly came out of her pink bubble.

She was choosing in the dressing room for quite a while, hesitating to decide for quite a while. She wanted to wear every dress, it was really very difficult for her to choose. Finally, without any better option, she closed her eyes and randomly picked a set of dress.

After properly changed her clothes, Lou Yaoyao sat at the dressing table to arrange her hair, but she caught a sight of a familiar blue box on the table. She took the box with complicated mood and opened it. In it, lay two plain and simple bracelets.

The bracelets were composed of blue square-shaped beads, however the corners and edges were grinded to be smooth and round so that one didn’t have to be worried about being pricked on the wrist. They felt ice-cold, like a jade but not a jade, like a stone but not a stone, the beads had some vein lines in them, they looked very much plain and simple. This was the birthday gift which she had prepared for Chen Hao, one was to be given as present for Chen Hao and the other was for her to wear. Chen Hao had never been seen wearing his, but she had been wearing hers for seven years.

This one looked like a plain and simple gift, yet she had spend a lot of thought on it. Perhaps because it was too plain and simple, Lou Qingqing only then thought that it wasn’t worthy of being destroyed, after had taken it away, she also returned it back again. If this not the case, Lou Yaoyao could place the blame on Lou Qingqing. Anyway, Lou Yaoyao’s unreasonable tantrums were well-known, she didn’t care of how much dirty water would be splashed on her again.

To splash dirty water: slander

This bracelet naturally wouldn’t be gifted again, however... she hated to part with it. After all, she had spent a lot of thought on it. She also not used to. After had been wearing it for so many years, her wrist felt empty, her mind felt that something was missing.

After thinking about it, Lou Yaoyao opened the left side drawer and found a bussiness card from the inside.

“Hello, greetings, is this Lin’s Jewellery Store?... I am Lou Yaoyao. Last time, I ordered a pair of bracelet to be made in your store. ... No, I don’t have any question, but I want to order another pair to be made. ... Not the same, change one of the name...”

Lou Yaoyao put down the telephone, searched for a pair of scissors, cut both of the bracelets, and then throw them into the dustbin without any reluctance.

Whether it was gift or good feeling, both should be given to a person who would cherish them. This secret, Chen Hao hadn’t found it after so many years, how could he found it now?

No longer thinking about this issue, Lou Yaoyao took something from her right side drawer and went downstairs.

Except for Lou Yaoyao, Lou Yuanzhi and Fang Xilei as well as Lou Qingqing had been waiting at the dinning table for a while.

Seeing Lou Yaoyao went down, Lou Yuanzhi —who had been talking and laughing with Lou Qingqing— pulled a long face and sternly looked at Lou Yaoyao.

Lou Yaoyao did not care at all, she trod down the stairs joyfully, completely ignoring Lou Yuanzhi.

Fang Xilei saw Lou Yaoyao and hinted to Aunty Liu that dinner could be served now, but she was stopped by Lou Yuanzhi. He stared at Lou Yaoyao with a cold face: “Don’t be in a hurry to serve. First, Yaoyao, I have something to say to you.”

Lou Yaoyao had just walked to the table, cordially said “Mama” for her greeting, and then pulled away the chair to sit down. Then she tilted her head to look at Lou Yuanzhi. She had to admit that this man was undoubtedly quite handsome. Time seemed to be especially good toward this man. For a man who was over forty years old, yet he only appeared as if he was in his early thirties. Probably because he normally behaved too gentle, even when he showed his cold face, he appeared very kind as well, harmless. It was said that the appearance stems from the mind. Lou Yaoyao once had believed that he could only had this cold face and warm heart, only later had she found out, that he merely had pretended to forget how to express his anger.

Lou Yuanzhi was slightly displeased by his daughter’s observant gaze, his face became colder: “Yaoyao, I have told you so many times, to not act carelessly. And when you make any mistake, the first thing to do should be to introspect yourself, not to blindly blame others. This time you lost your thing because your own carelessness, and you put all the blame on your elder sister. How do I normally teach you? Should my, Lou Yuanzhi’s daughter falsely accuse a person?“

“I’m sorry, Papa, I know it is wrong.” Just when everyone thought that Lou Yaoyao would angrily refute, Lou Yaoyao obediently lower her head and sincerely admitted her mistake.

Lou Yuanzhi was taken aback, he looked at Lou Yaoyao with a little more inquiring eyes, his tone was a bit softer: “It’s good that you know your wrong. Yaoyao, apologise to your elder sister.”

Everyone was waiting for Lou Yaoyao to blow up. Fang Xilei was already very displeased. Although, there was nothing wrong with Lou Yuanzhi’s words, but if her daughter then said anything excessive due to anger, she would turned a deaf ear, because she would not let her daughter be bullied.

“Elder Sister, I’m sorry.” said Lou Yaoyao, her big eyes looked pitifully at Lou Qingqing: “I shouldn’t be stingy like that. I obviously knew that your cellphone was broken, yet unwilling to lend you one.”

Lou Yaoyao put the thing that she had been holding in her hand on the table and pushed it to Lou Qingqing. It was naturally just an 80% new cellphone. Changing the topic of the conversation, Lou Yaoyao opened her big eyes and rather pitifully asked: “However, Elder Sister, that cellphone that you had taken from my bedroom yesterday, is a present from Qin Zhi to me, although I don’t use it now, but I want to keep it as a memento. So, can Elder Sister return that cellphone to me? Moreover, that cellphone is already quite old, Elder Sister had better use this one.”

Lou Qingqing was dumbstruck, she had been well prepared to be showered in curses severely, she didn’t expect that what came around was this one.

Having heard her daughter’s words, Fang Xilei knew that things had changed, she promptly asked ahead of Lou Yuanzhi: “Yaoyao, what’s the matter? Didn’t you say that you lost the present that you prepared for Chen Hao? Why are you talking about cellphone?”

“The gift for Chen Hao? It wasn’t lost. Yesterday, after I came back, I thought that I didn’t like it, so I just threw it on the floor. Elder Sister, this is about the cellphone, isn’t it?” With a puzzled face, Lou Yaoyao threw the question at Lou Qingqing.

Lou Yuanzhi also asked a question: “Qingqing, what’s going on? Why are Yaoyao’s words different from yours?”

”Papa, it’s not...”

“Papa, Elder Sister was probably embarrassed to tell the truth. It’s actually like this, Elder Sister’s cellphone was accidentally broken by me two days ago, however Elder Sister is currently working in student union, it’s quite inconvenience without a cellphone, therefore Elder Sister wanted me to lend her a cellphone and planned to return it back to me right after she get her next month’s allowance. However, at that time, I was annoyed with Elder Sister, therefore I did not agree. Yesterday, after I came back, I found out that a cellphone was missing, then I had a quarrel with Elder Sister. Now after I carefully thought about it, I think that this matter is my fault. I have so many cellphones, yet refused to lend Elder Sister one. I was too stingy. I’m sorry, Elder Sister. I give this cellphone to you, no need to return it back.”

Lou Qingqing always spoke with a soft voice, she was not Lou Yaoyao’s opponent, her voice was overshadowed by Lou Yaoyao’s at once, then Lou Yaoyao noisily threw out a bunch of sentence. That tone and the meaning of the words, rather than admitting mistake, this was called to show off!

Suffered from injustice, Lou Qingqing’s eyes immediately reddened: “Papa, it isn’t like this. Aunty Liu and Aunty Lu can testify that what Yaoyao said is not true.”

Lou Yuanzhi had a bit of a headache. The one on his left showed repentance and looked at him sincerely, the one on his right side had a anxious red eyes, seemed to had suffered from enormous injustice. Lou Yuanzhi looked impatiently across the kitchen door, waiting until both of these housekeepers to come out to serve: “Yesterday’s matter, how much did you hear?”

Immediately, everyone’s eyes were gathered on these housekeeper aunties. Both of the housekeepers exchanged a glance. Aunty Liu smiled at Lou Yaoyao and then stated: “We were downstairs, didn’t hear it very clearly. But we indeed have heard ‘cellphone’ and ‘present’, this two words.”

Aunty Lu also nodded and agreed.

Lou Qingqing’s eyes widened, with a face of disbelief and hurt. She regarded herself as being normally respectful toward this two aunties, so much that she even had helped them do household duties. Compared with Lou Yaoyao who often asked them to do this and that, and even shouting everywhere, hers was a lot more respectful. She didn’t understand why they would partnered up to frame her!

Looking at Lou Qingqing’s expression, Lou Yaoyao smiled. She had always been a person who understood very well how to make use of her own advantages. Lou Qingqing would never understand that she was, after all, an outsider to this family. Moreover, did she naively thought that both aunties were indulging Lou Yaoyao, merely because they were this family’s housekeepers? No, not only because of this. Now, in this era, if one dislikes their job, one could just leave. They were indulging Lou Yaoyao, because of affections ah!

From the beginning, as she had started to form memories, she had always been with this two aunties. Their affections were, so to say, half of close relatives yet not overstepping boundaries. Lou Qingqing who tried to squeeze in halfway, wouldn’t possibly understand! Lou Qingqing had looked at her arrogance and despotism, but had never looked at what let her became arrogant.

In the past life, she was very stupid. Otherwise, with everything she had, could Lou Qingqing still be able to jump around? Stop dreaming!

“Well then, this matter stop here!” Lou Yuanzhi looked at both of the housekeepers with anger in his eyes. He even had some resentment against Lou Qingqing, because she had embarrassed him, but this moods must not be shown at his face: “Let the dinner be served.”

“Papa...” Lou Qingqing felt that today was extremely surreal, her brain was a little dull. Why was after she endured injustice, Papa didn’t redress it? Why did he let it be like this?

However she had been wronged, she didn’t understand why she did not get the slightest response!

Lou Qingqing didn’t know, but Lou Yaoyao knew, it’s because Lou Yuanzhi had a taboo, which was, must not talk to him about money! If not because being reborn again, she probably wouldn’t know that her own Papa had such interesting secret!

Beside, whether this matter was true or fake, would one be able to investigate it? How many cellphones she had not used and thrown away, she herself didn’t know. Not to mention the cellphones that Mama had bought for her and the ones she had bought herself, even just the ones that Qin Zhi had bought for herself were quite a lot, if one or two were missing, who would have known? Who could testify? It was as if dead men tell no tales! If they couldn’t find any cellphone in Lou Qingqing’s bedroom, hey, who knew where she was hiding it?

Lou Yuanzhi’s weakness was money, Lou Qingqing’s weakness was also money. How was it? It’s good enough that mother as the mistress of the house did not drive you out, did you still expect the mistress to give you money? Don’t be ridiculous! Also, for some reason, Lou Yuanzhi would not give Lou Qingqing a lot of money.

In fact, Lou Qingqing’s cellphone had indeed been broken by her, Papa and Mama also knew about this matter. Only, Lou Qingqing hadn’t borrow a cellphone from her!

But, so what? She wanted to reverse right and wrong – black and white, who did care? Even if her lies were found out, who would testify?

Although a lie was a lie, but a lie that let others became dumbstruck and unable to reply was the proof! She should be grateful to Lou Qingqing, it was Lou Qingqing who had taught her this truth!

Lou Yaoyao was eating her dinner as she delightfully humming a song, without the slightest regard of the other two’s moods.

Regarding her daughter’s graceless conduct, although Fang Xilei felt it was a bit unsightly, but she didn’t want to destroy her daughter’s rare good mood.

Lou Qingqing grit her own teeth as if she wanted to break them all into pieces! When had she suffered this much humiliation?

For the first time, in confrontation, Lou Qingqing was completely defeated, she even didn’t know why she was defeated! This was only the beginning!

After dinner, Lou Yaoyao who was rolling on her large pink bed shouting in her heart: The feeling of being childish, it’s really good ah!
