I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 715: Chapter 723 I Think It’s Too Hot

“””That was just how Bai Zhi was, never resting until she dragged Moh Li onto the rooftop in the middle of the night to watch the stars.

Halfway through watching, she decided they should go fish in the river, but ended up catching a snake, which frightened her so much that she jumped onto Moh Li. Both of them fell into the water together,

In that very moment, when the water splashed up, she woke up,

Really woke up.

And then she also remembered everything she had just done.

And by then, dawn was almost breaking.

She thought for a bit, then twisted her head and fainted.

Moh Li immediately caught her and carried her back home, and that was finally the end of it.

Bai Zhi lay there until the afternoon, when she woke up feeling heavy-headed and light-legged, with a particularly blocked nose.

The only thought in her mind was that she had caught a cold—indeed, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

It was her own fault for tempting fate, and now there was nothing she could do about it.

Moh Li walked over and naturally placed his hand on her forehead.

Bai Zhi was somewhat bewildered, perhaps because the fever made her face feel oddly sugary.

“Open your mouth so I can take a look.”

Bai Zhi obediently opened her mouth, unable to resist with Moh Li frowning sternly.

Moh Li examined her mouth and took her pulse, then turned to prepare some medicine.

Bai Zhi’s face was still a bit hot, especially when she remembered what she had done last night, so much that she wanted to hit herself. She grabbed the pillow and began to rub and scrub it nonstop.

Just as she was letting herself go, Moh Li came back.

Bai Zhi blinked her eyes and tossed the pillow aside, awkwardly facing Moh Li.

“Hehe, I… I… I felt too hot, so I was fanning myself.”

But, leaving other things aside, her mood relaxed considerably, especially since the tension had eased significantly.

Actually, she didn’t need to push herself so hard, Bai Zhi thought she could do what she wanted, without having to rely on anyone.

Previously, she thought that following her cousin would be foolproof because he was destined to become rich, but now she felt that she could indeed do things she liked on her own, not necessarily for the money, but just following her own wishes.

“Oh, okay.” Using a pillow to fan herself—he had indeed learned something new.

Moh Li turned and left, a smile involuntarily spreading across his lips.

It seemed as if those dark times had also become brighter. His master was right; he really should have come back, to rediscover his original self.

He couldn’t become a cold-hearted machine, devoid of emotions.

When Moh Li returned, he brought a bowl of herbal medicine, dark and foreboding, making Bai Zhi swallow nervously.

Pinching her nose, she took it down gulp by gulp, as long as it wasn’t Western medicine, Bai Zhi could accept it. What surprised her even more was that Moh Li took out a candy and placed it in front of her.

“Have a candy to sweeten it up.”

Bai Zhi took it and put it into her mouth, mmm, indeed, it was somewhat sweet.

After taking the medicine, they even went to dig bamboo shoots and made a dish with cured meat and bamboo shoots. Perhaps because she had sweated, Bai Zhi felt nearly recovered by afternoon.

Returning to the village, Bai Zhi planned to stay at home for a few days.

As soon as she arrived in the village, Fat Aunt came over, bringing Bai Zhi a basket of eggplants, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

“Bai Zhi, did you hear? Your aunt and Nan Xi had some issues with their weight loss products. Thank goodness I didn’t buy any.”

Fat Aunt was still shaken up; if she hadn’t been reluctant to spend the money, she would have made the purchase.”

So, being stingy can sometimes be useful, and it can’t be said that being frugal is of no use, at least this time it was.

Otherwise, she would have been one of the victims.

“Fat Aunt, you actually look very good now.”

Bai Zhi didn’t say much but instead changed the subject.

Fat Aunt was particularly happy after hearing this, patting Bai Zhi’s hand. “You really know how to speak.”

Li Sisi turned herself in and cooperated since she really didn’t know, and the new goods hadn’t been sold, so she only needed to be detained for a while, then reflect on her actions at home, but now everyone knew that the highly profitable thing she talked about was deceptive. It didn’t make money at all and even harmed people.

“Fat Aunt told me she needs to be detained, just think, she seemed like such a good person before, always wanting to realize her own value. She was living the best life in our village, being rich and your uncle earning so much. She was living like a rich lady, but she wasn’t satisfied.”

In Fat Aunt’s heart, Li Sisi was definitely considered the happiest person.

Bai Guang knew how to make money and also loved his wife, yet she insisted on doing something, pursuing freedom, enjoying her good life until now, and being happy.

“Actually, Fat Aunt, I think my aunt wanting to pursue her dreams wasn’t wrong, she was deceived too.”

Bai Zhi never felt that girls could not pursue their dreams; on the contrary, Bai Zhi believed that everyone could pursue their dreams, but she really wasn’t cautious, getting lost in the so-called leading lady’s pattern.

“If you think I did nothing wrong, then why did you destroy me?”

Li Sisi appeared from behind them, followed by two comrades.

“Because you were joking with other people’s bodies, you never really understood the safety of these so-called weight-loss products; you just wanted to make money.

No matter what you do, you shouldn’t harm other people’s health.”

To put it bluntly, they were just deceiving one person after another. The goal was to recruit more people, and they didn’t care about what the product was or if it had any side effects.

“But I worked very hard.”

Li Sisi immediately retorted, she had indeed worked hard.

“So, just because you worked hard, doesn’t mean there’s no problem with your product?”

If that’s really the mindset, then that’s terrible…

“I didn’t mean that…” Li Sisi tried to speak.

“What you mean doesn’t matter to me, whether you get in trouble doesn’t involve me either, you should go see what your daughter looks like now, and what other victims look like.”

“Also, stop trying to make your presence felt in front of me whenever something or nothing happens, do I owe you anything?

If you annoy me, I might just kick someone out,”

Previously, Bai Zhi believed in smiling at anyone she met, regardless of who they were, and being nice to everyone.

But now…

Sorry, I’m not even in a good mood myself, what does your mood have to do with me?

Bai Zhi said this and immediately pushed Li Sisi out, shutting the door in one fluid motion.

Fat Aunt looked at Bai Zhi like this and instead gave a thumbs-up.

“Bai Zhi, you are doing the right thing, you need to have boundaries with everyone, the nicer you are to them, the less they respect you, thinking you’re just taken for granted.”

Bai Zhi felt Fat Aunt was right, “Thanks, Fat Aunt, I’m going to cook now. You should eat here…”

Fat Aunt quickly stood up, “That won’t do, there’s a lot to do at home.”

Bai Zhi smiled, took out the items from the basket, and added some canned goods to it, returning the favor to Fat Aunt.

…

Bai Zhi stayed in the village for half a month, spending her days either on the mountain or at home doing what she wanted, sometimes even basking in the sun, living her days quite comfortably.
