The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1210 - 454: The Stingy Dad Arrives (Part 12)_2

Chapter 1210: Chapter 454: The Stingy Dad Arrives (Part 12)_2

Occasionally, when the three of them eat out, He Shoutian or He Zhuo would take the cilantro that He Yue doesn’t eat and place it in their own bowl.

Otherwise, they could simply remind the serving lady or the food stall owner before: "Three bowls of wonton, one without cilantro!"

The "He Zhuo" in front of her, is only the form of "He Zhuo" but lacks his spirit.

"...Thank you, brother!"

He Yue forcefully pinched her palm, showing no flaws on her face, but her heart had already plunged into the depths.

Brother!

My brother really has met with trouble!

"Oh come on, no need to be polite, you are my sister."

He Zhuo said, pretending to be generous.

He Yue grinned, said nothing further, and lowered her head, starting to scoop up the wonton with a spoon.

Perhaps she ate too quickly, He Yue started to choke.

She coughed violently, tears streaming down her face.

"Eat slower! Here’s a tissue for you!"

He Zhuo, without suspicion, genuinely thought He Yue was choking, quickly handed her a few napkins.

He Yue took the opportunity to let her tears flow freely.

Brother, oh brother!

Has my brother really been time-traveling?

Nonetheless, He Yue was indeed wise; she wasn’t like He Shoutian, frantically rushing around upon confirming her brother’s trouble.

While having lunch with He Zhuo, He Yue probed several more times during the meal.

On the surface, He Zhuo responded impeccably.

Yet, some details only known to the siblings or the true He Family members were utterly exposed by He Zhuo.

The last trace of hope in He Yue’s heart disappeared.

She smiled and waved goodbye to He Zhuo, but her demeanor turned gloomy and cold once she left S University’s campus.

Though the notion of time-travel is absurd, the fact is right before her eyes.

Even if He Zhuo isn’t some time-traveling man, he isn’t the real He Zhuo.

Perhaps, just as Dad said, my brother was possessed, overtaken by some lonely ghost from who knows where.

Now, what He Yue must do is to find a way to bring her brother back!

Only, He Yue is young, still an inexperienced senior high school student.

Not to mention knowing no Enlightened master, she doesn’t even have the most basic money—

People need to eat, you have to pay if you want to ask for their help!

And the more skilled someone is, the higher the fee might be.

He Yue used her student card to get on the bus, found an empty seat, and leaned her head against the window, pondering seriously.

She currently has only about nine hundred yuan, not even reaching a thousand.

Forget hiring an expert to perform magic, she probably can’t afford a legitimate talisman.

Moreover, seeking an expert requires both time and money.

These are also what He Yue lacks the most.

Dad indeed has money, but—

Thinking about Dad’s usual behavior, He Yue shook her head.

Besides, Dad merely suspects that brother is sick or possessed, likely still hasn’t thought that brother has already been replaced.

He Yue doesn’t want Dad to know about this.

She knows her father too well, his foul mouth, hot temper, not one to keep secrets.

If Dad knew the truth, couldn’t control himself, and confronted "He Zhuo"—

It wouldn’t solve the problem, might even cause more troubles.

After all, such time-traveling affairs are too bizarre, people hearing it wouldn’t suspect He Zhuo, but rather consider the one telling it crazy.

He Yue has already lost her brother, she doesn’t want Dad to be in trouble too.

If Dad is deemed delirious, and she, He Yue, isn’t of age yet—

That fake He Zhuo would become the master of the He Family.

Then, forget about the family estate, even the ’incapable of independent action’ He Shoutian and minor He Yue would be "guarded" by He Zhuo.

He Yue doesn’t want her family to fall into such a crisis.

"This matter can’t be told to Dad! I’ll handle it myself!"

Having a top-grade stingy dad, He Yue didn’t develop a soft or self-pitying demeanor.

She was wise, strong, and exceptionally clear-headed, rational.

In the past, her brother was in front, she could be a carefree, cheerful high school girl.

But now, with trouble afoot for her brother, she must step up and bear everything for her family!

He Yue gazed dazedly out of the window, but her mind began to list orderly:

Firstly, make money!

Secondly, build connections!

Thirdly, don’t neglect her studies.

The first two are for her brother, and also for herself.

The third point is her promise with her brother: no matter when, she cannot give up on her studies.

Going to college is the best path for ordinary kids!
