KOREAN Doesn't Mean Anything

After Han Zhixuan read two of the messages Lin Ziqi had sent him, Li Xianghong rushed over to her with a ferocious expression. She grabbed her by her hair and started cursing, "You little b*tch. How did you even become friends with my son? Did you use the same words to seduce him? That's why he was misunderstood by Yali."

Li Xianghong was in her forties and her strength couldn't be matched by any young girl. She was grabbing Lin Ziqi's hair so hard that she involuntarily burst into tears from the pain.

"I don't know how it happened. My previous WeChat account was hacked!" Lin Ziqi sobbed and came up with an excuse. "I didn't send those messages. I have no idea how this happened."

With tears streaming down her pretty face, the pitiful sight made many guys feel sorry for her, especially Chen Xu. It felt like his heart had just taken a heavy punch. He rushed forward to stop his mother hastily, "Mom, don't treat Ziqi like this. She's innocent. The problem between Yali and me has nothing to do with her."

"You expect me to believe that she has nothing to do with it?" Li Xianghong stood there with arms akimbo. She started shouting again after she had caught her breath. "Didn't you hear what she sent to Young Master Han? She is a coquettish little vixen. Let me make things clear today. Henceforth you are not allowed any contact with this girl! Get your act together and focus on Yali!"

Chen Xu turned to look at Lin Ziqi. With tears welling up in her eyes, she looked like a forlorn victim. Chen Xu felt a sudden urge to protect her as she appeared to be so defenseless in this cruel world. He held her in his arms and shouted to his mother, "Mom, let me tell you the truth. I have no feelings for Li Yali at all. I don't even know why you like her so much. The only good thing about her is that her father works for the government. I'm in love with the kind and gentle Ziqi. My mind is made up. She's the only person I would ever be willing to marry in my life."

Lin Ziqi was dumbfounded. She had been acting so hard all this time so that the others would sympathize with her. She had wanted to make people think that she was innocent. However, the last thing she had wanted was to push Chen Xu into confessing in front of everyone. Now everything she had said and done would go to waste.

"Do they really have something unspeakable going on?"

Everyone on the spot stared at them wide-eyed, shock written over their faces.

Lin Ziqi surreptitiously leaned in to Chen Xu and whispered to him in an almost inaudible voice, "Chen Xu, this isn't the right time to talk about these things. I know you love me, but we have to take things slow and carry out careful planning."

Chen Xu's heart softened when he saw those big, watery eyes of hers. He just grunted in agreement and remained silent.

Lin Ziqi was good at toying with men. She knew how to tease them with what they really wanted, and before they knew it, they'd be wrapped around her finger. None of them even had the slightest suspicion that they were just being used.

Bai Yaoyao suddenly went over and pulled Chen Xu away. She pointed at him and said angrily, "Stay away from Ziqi. She doesn't like you at all. You're making people misunderstand by hugging her like this."

Lin Ziqi was surprised to see Bai Yaoyao standing up for her at this critical moment. "Who'd have thought this idiot would come in handy!" She thought to herself slyly.

Lin Ziqi nodded almost imperceptibly and pulled Bai Yaoyao to her side with great affection.

"It's none of your business, you ugly wench!" Chen Xu's eyes turned bloodshot. Grievance and anger poured over him. In his mind, he and Lin Ziqi had true love. He couldn't bear judgment from the others who knew nothing about their love for each other.

Bai Yaoyao said sarcastically, "How dare you say it's none of my business? Ziqi is my best friend. She's way out of your league. Do you even know how you look? You're so shabby and ragged. I suggest you stop daydreaming now."

Chen Xu felt like he was really losing it. He had an impulse to tell everyone in the world that Lin Ziqi was in love with him. However, a gaze from her stopped him.

“That's right! I should listen to Ziqi and take it slow. We need to plan things out.”

He was going to show his mother out, but Han Zhixuan commented mockingly, "Exactly! How dare he pursue our campus belle! Look at how shabby he is."

Chen Xu turned around and saw Han Zhixuan holding Lin Ziqi in his arms with one finger wagging ostentatiously. Again, his eyes went bloodshot instantly.

"Don't touch her!" Chen Xu was so jealous that he charged towards Han Zhixuan.

Han Zhixuan dodged his attack and easily got ahold of him by twisting his arms behind his back. He said with a sneer, "I see you want to play rough. Ziqi has told me that you've been pestering her like a pathetic little puppy-dog every day. You should know your place. Just take a look at yourself in the mirror. Do you really think that Ziqi would fancy you?"

"You're talking nonsense. I'm the only one she loves!" Chen Xu was completely enraged. He roared and broke free from Han Zhixuan's control.

"It looks like you still haven't given up!" Just now, Han Zhixuan had stopped reading Lin Ziqi's messages on purpose. He had been waiting for the show to get even spicier. Now it was time to take out his phone and keep reading.

Lin Ziqi had a feeling that things were about to go wrong. Her face was flushed as she walked over to him and said in a low voice, "Young Master Han, please do me a favor and stop right there. Let's call it a day. We'll talk more about it next time."

His lips curled contemptuously. He answered, "I can't do that. If we don't make things clear today, that stupid sh*t will keep pestering you with his ridiculous fantasies. He really believes that you like him. Isn't that annoying?"

Chen Xu looked at Lin Ziqi in disbelief. "Honey, what's going on? What did you send him anyway?"

There was a hint of panic on her face, but she started shouting as if trying to muster up some courage, "As I said, my WeChat account has been hacked. I have no idea what happened."

Han Zhixuan threw an unhappy look at her. "My dear, your words are breaking my heart. Are you saying that everything you sent me was fake? You said that there was a red mole on your chest, and you wanted me to take a look at it. Last night, you told me that you missed me. Are you saying that nothing's real?"

Many of the people present knew about the mole. The girls had seen it when they had been together in the shower room. Lin Ziqi had even said that it was a symbol of wealth. As for Chen Xu, he had seen that mole with his own eyes during a make-out session.

"How can she be so shameless?! She lied about her WeChat account getting hacked. She's such a liar!"

"I can't believe we chose her as the campus belle. We must have been blind. What's the difference between her and some cheap slut? She's been hooking up with everyone!"

Everyone around her started gossiping eagerly. What they said was so infuriating that she wanted to tear their mouths out more than anything else in the world.

Those who were enthusiastically gossiping about her were mainly girls. Meanwhile, the boys in the audience were fantasizing about her and exactly what that mole might look like. They were wondering whether it was on the left or right.

"Ziqi, did you really tell him that? You do have a mole on your chest. That's for sure! But why would you tell him such a private thing?" Bai Yaoyao blinked and seemed very confused.

Those who hadn't been a hundred percent sure about the mole were convinced now.

Lin Ziqi clenched her teeth so hard that they were on the verge of cracking. Feeling embarrassed and humiliated, she burst into tears and rushed out of the crowd with her hand over her mouth as if she was trying to suppress a desperate cry.

Bai Yaoyao stared at her running away and the corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile. Whatever she had suffered in the past life, she would make Lin Ziqi experience twofold. This was only the beginning.

Chen Xu was still infatuated with Lin Ziqi. He glared hatefully at Han Zhixuan and abandoned both his mother and Li Yali to chase after her.

Now the most embarrassed person was Li Xianghong. She had come to make amends for her son so that he could stay together with Li Yali, but she was completely taken aback by him chasing after Lin Ziqi, which also made her extremely angry. She said to Li Yali, "Sweetheart, don't worry. I will talk to my son. I'm sure this is all some sort of bizarre misunderstanding. He'll come to you and explain himself."

After that, she left to trail after Chen Xu.

Li Yali put on a sarcastic smile and then took Bai Yaoyao by the hand. "Let's go and watch them play basketball."

Han Zhixuan overheard their conversation so he quickly rushed off to the basketball court and started playing enthusiastically.

"He seems to like you," Li Yali giggled and said playfully, "He's from a wealthy family and he doesn't look half bad. You ought to seize the opportunity."

Bai Yaoyao shook her head with a smile. "He just enjoys fooling around. Maybe he hasn't seen anyone as ugly as me before so he feels like playing tricks on me."

Li Yali frowned and stared at Han Zhixuan, who was vigorous and agile on the basketball court. She hesitated briefly but proceeded to say, "I think he is serious. My intuition for this stuff is never wrong."

Bai Yaoyao did not explain anything. No matter what Han Zhixuan thought, it didn't matter to her because she was already married.

Moreover, there was something else playing on her mind. The auction was going to start next week, and she was in desperate need of an earnest money of five million yuan.

She waited until the afternoon classes were over before asking for sick leave. She didn't ask anyone to pick her up but chose to take a taxi home.

She wanted to ask Fu Jinyan for money.

However, it wasn't a small amount, so she was finding it hard to just ask for it.

"Is my husband back yet?" She found the housekeeper in the courtyard and asked hurriedly.

"Not yet, madam. He may be in a while."

The housekeeper was surprised and wanted to ask her why she had come home as there was no public holiday or special occasion. Before she could utter a word, Bai Yaoyao had already rolled up her sleeves and rushed into the main building.

She went into Fu Jinyan's bedroom and came out with a huge pile of clothes to wash. She didn't seem to care whether they were dirty or not. She started enthusiastically washing them in the laundry room as if she was trying to challenge herself.

The housekeeper was so frightened to find her in the laundry room that she tried to take the clothes away from her.

But Bai Yaoyao wouldn’t budge and held onto the clothes. "It's all right. I can wash them."

The housekeeper found herself being pushed outside. She even heard the door get locked from the inside. Her face twitched slightly, mourning the expensive suits as their lives came to an end. The madam was washing them with her own hands!

Bai Yaoyao separated Fu Jinyan's underpants from all the clothes, but after a moment of hesitation, she put them back in. Then, she started washing them devotedly with a little flush on her face.

She washed the clothes for more than an hour and hung them out to dry. Just as the staff thought she was about to rest, she rushed to pick up the mop from the laundry room and began to mop the floor, which was already clean.

The servants at the house all stared at each other in disbelief. What was wrong with their madam?

Without saying a word, she just grabbed everything and started cleaning.

When she was busy mopping the floor, she felt an intense gaze scanning her. She looked up and saw Fu Jinyan, who had just got off work and was now standing still with his briefcase in hand as he observed her.

Bai Yaoyao was frustrated to find herself without a single drop of sweat. She had been working so hard for all these hours. Regardless, it didn't stop her from wiping her forehead like an industrious worker. She ran to greet Fu Jinyan and took his briefcase. She said with a big smile, "Jinyan, you're back. Are you tired? Do you want to rest a bit?"

Her sudden change of attitude made him frown in confusion. She had acted so cold and distant during the lecture in the morning, but now she was as warm as a fireplace on a cold winter day.

"Why did you come back?" Fu Jinyan entered the study. The housekeeper went in after him with a cup of coffee.

Bai Yaoyao took the coffee from the housekeeper and placed it on the table, trying to look amenable.

Fu Jinyan took a sip of his coffee while eyeing her up and down over the rim of the coffee cup.

"Sir, madam did a lot of work after she came home. She mopped the floor and washed some of your clothes." The housekeeper hesitated before going on to say, "She washed them by hand."
