The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 34 – The Late Husband Was Eye Candy (1)

Yan Shuyu, a commoner who once only had $200 left in her bank account, suddenly had money dropped into her lap and received a large amount of almost $10,000. On her way home, she was ata a lost and worried. She could only imagine that she’d be too worried to even fall asleep with this money in the house overnight.

What a sweet problem that she is having.

When she spotted a 24-hour ATM machine on the side of the road, she made an immediate decision to walk over with her instant son and said, “Let’s go and deposit our money into the bank.”

Yan Shuyu had never imagined herself being a good mother, but now that she already has this instant son of hers, she would try very hard to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother. This entire week, with her bank account being down to $200, she had no choice but to take her entire family to mooch the employee meals. Even though it was Manager Yang’s suggestion, her actions were entirely too proficient. She may be able to shamelessly leech off of her boss, but in front of her innocent son, she gritted her teeth and never mentioned a word in front of him.

Yan Shuyu had heard in the past that those from a single-parent family might be more inclined to have a more radical personality. Recalling about the novel, this villainous boss was, indeed, quite radical. As the boss’s stepson, he could just do some sort of investments. He didn’t even need to do anything and would still have enough money for life. What would be the one reason to fight over the inheritance with the rightful heir and finally ended up with his own tragic death in the middle of the street. Whatever for?

Now that Yan Shuyu had transmigrated over, she possessed the gorgeous look of the villainess stepmother, but not her ability to scheme, which was why she had no desire to be a fighter in the world of the wealthy. She felt that the best option was to suck it up for a few years and raise her son, then she would have her son to count on for her golden years.

This would, no doubt, be the longer path, but at least it didn’t require much skills. Yan Shuyu figured that she had a capable body. As long as she wasn’t aiming for a house and a car, she’d have no problem supporting herself and her instant son. Once her son had become successful in life, she would have her fancy car and fancy house, wowza!

The future was quite hopeful, but she must learn the lessons from the novel and protect the villainous boss’s physical and mental health. She had to make sure he’d become a positive and sunny youth who’d earn money to support his mother, instead of a dark villain who’d always have radical thoughts and went after what was not rightfully his.

It was very unfortunate that Yan Shuyu had never been a mother before. She already had a 3-year-old kid when she woke up from her sleep. She could only rely on her imagination to raise this child. She figured that someone who has an extreme and overly sensitive personality must have an inferiority complex. On the flip side of the token, if she wanted her son to become positive and proactive, then she must install confidence in him. Luckily, Yan Shuyu was a very optimistic person herself; she trusted that she would be able to instill that in him through her own actions and change his course over time.

On the other hand, she must be attentive to details as well. For example, she couldn’t let him know how poor they were. She didn’t want this to become a sore spot in him as that might lead to dire consequences.

As much as Yan Shuyu was serious like a person applying screen protector below a bridge*, she still couldn’t handle a mature little kid like Zhang Yuanjia. It was like he could see through it all. Now that they have some money in hand, his excitement level was no lower than that of Yan Shuyu’s. In fact, he was so excited, he was about to bounce up and down on the spot, “Yes! Let’s go put away our moola!”

(T/N: I am guessing that meant someone who was being super focused – like a professional screen protector sticker. Here’s a sample that you can see for yourself.)

Yan Shuyu was occupied by the joy of being rich and didn’t notice the small details. The mother and son pair bounced toward the ATM machine with identical excitement.

With a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Yan Shuyu added $200 from her card and made it a full $9,000, leaving $500 for expenditure in her wallet. Now that she was getting two meals a day at the restaurant, she trusted that this $500 could last her for quite a few days. Taking one more look at the amount in the bank, she felt a sense of completeness that she hasn’t felt for a while.
