277 A Candid Shot
It was only then that Yeh Luo realized that He Miao had long been famous on the internet.
Yeh Ying curiously looked at the screen and could not help but mutter, “Champion of the National College perfume-making competition, publicly announced to the public that the judges were cheating?”
Yeh Ying looked at her daughter helplessly. Coincidentally, Yeh Luo had also noticed the news and clicked on it. The mother and daughter watched the entire live broadcast with their mouths agape. They immediately understood how difficult it was to deal with He Miao.
Yeh Ying finally knew how beautiful He Miao was that even He Chen, who was usually cold and aloof, would try his best to please her.
Yeh Luo’s mind was full of ideas. She knew that He Miao was very famous now, so there would definitely be many trolls who wanted to defame her. She knew the principle of climbing to the top and falling to the bottom. Not only was she not intimidated by He Miao’s huge number of fans, but she also picked up her phone and opened various software to search for the kind of people who hated He Miao.
One of the news articles about He Miao and He Wei arguing that the other was an illegitimate daughter instantly attracted her attention. After a quick glance, she handed her phone to her mother with a gleeful expression. When she saw the oil stains on her mother’s hands that had not been wiped clean, she silently retracted her hand and read the contents of the news to her.
Yeh Ying frowned slightly and looked at her daughter suspiciously. “Hasn’t it been confirmed that He Wei is the illegitimate daughter? Is this news still useful?”
“It’s useful,” Yeh Luo herself was once at the bottom of the social ladder, the kind of person who was looked down upon by others. The moment she saw He Wei’s photo, she was certain that He Wei still hated He Miao.
She swiped her phone screen and said, “I need to find a way to contact her. She’s the one who has been in contact with He Miao the closest. I need to team up with her to deal with He Miao. That’s the only way we can win!”
“Well said!” The more Yeh Ying thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She happily put her arm around her daughter’s shoulders and could not help but think about the future that was far from being realized. “When He Chen gives up on He Miao and only acknowledges you as his daughter, we won’t have to worry about our lives anymore!”
“Yes.” Yeh Luo was still a little disgusted by the smell of oil on her mother’s body and her oily hands. She shrugged her shoulders slightly and let her arm slide down, pretending not to see the embarrassment on her face.
Yeh Ying put down her hand in embarrassment and stood up helplessly. “Then I’ll go wash my hands first. You should eat first too. The bowls and cutleries are already on the table.”
At noon the next day, Xu Meng excitedly dragged He Miao by the arm and brought her to the small boat in the campus park. She pointed at the wild geese on the lake and laughed. “The spring water is still very cold. They dare to come out and swim. Are they stupid?”
He Miao laughed at her dazed look and could not help but say, “No wonder you’re called Xu Meng. You’re so silly that it’s cute.”
Xu Meng snorted nonchalantly. She took He Miao’s hand and walked to the bow of the ship. Then, she raised her camera and looked around for a suitable angle.
In fact, He Miao was beautiful from any angle on the camera, but Xu Meng just wanted to find a background that suited her the most. She was repeatedly struggling with the composition of the photo when the sound of a shutter suddenly came from a distance and attracted their attention.
He Miao immediately raised her head in alarm. She saw an ordinary-looking boy on the riverbank holding a camera. He aimed it at He Miao’s face and quickly took a few photos.
Xu Meng was anxious. How could hHe Miao’s photo be taken by a strange man so easily?
She stuffed the camera into He Miao’s hands. She did not care that the temperature was cold. She ran to the boy angrily and snatched the camera from his hands.
The boy was still staring at He Miao’s beautiful face, and was caught off guard when his tool was snatched away. He immediately roared at her angrily, “Who are you? Why are you snatching my things? Give me back my camera!”
“I won’t!” Xu Meng rudely avoided the boy’s hand and flipped through the photos stored in the photo album.
Seeing that she was about to delete the photos he had just taken, the boy suddenly became furious. He reached out to push Xu Meng without care, wishing he could push her directly into the river so that he could leave with his precious camera and his goddess.
Xu Meng was caught off guard and staggered from his brute force. Her heart suddenly hung in her throat, and her hand trembled so much that the camera slipped from her hand. As the camera shattered on the ground, Xu Meng unexpectedly did not fall into the cold lake water, but into a warm embrace.
Xu Meng looked up at Li Ming’s cold eyes and shivered. She quickly blushed and left his arms. She turned her head away shyly and said, “Thank you for saving me, Li Ming.”
Li Ming’s eyebrows twitched slightly. She glanced at He Miao, who was already walking over, and turned to glare at the boy who was squatting on the ground and holding the camera with heartache. “Did you know that you almost pushed a girl into the water just now?”
“She asked for it!” The boy forced tears out of his eyes. His heart ached so much that it could not be any worse.
He had saved up a year’s worth of money to buy this camera, and now it was broken by this hateful woman! He wished he could kill her!
